First ever episode of the podcast 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.559 of the Bobby Cast. There's one already that we did 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.680 for like fifteen or twenty minutes. It's up on the 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.000 page if you want to hear it too. But in 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.040 my room right now, we have a setup and a 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.520 dog and no guests today. Um I thought I'll bring 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.280 the guest in for the first show, but then I thought, 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.080 man a lot of pressure on the first guest to 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.120 come in. And I don't think we have anything set 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.440 up to where anybody can play in here, nor we 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.960 probably ever. But um so no guests today. Thank you 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.319 all for being here today, Welcome to the show. Our 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.520 producers all Is might be follow him on inst what's 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.520 your Instagram? It might be all right, So let's talk 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.400 about stuff. First of all, play the Raging Idiot Show 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.480 over the weekend in Fort Wayne and it was awesome. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.680 Um if you follow on snatchat we had a call 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.880 at eleven o'clock which means it's like bus call. It's 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.160 where everybody comes in. You have to be at the 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.199 bus at eleven o'clock to leave all the band. So 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.479 we have bus call and it's probably I get there 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.120 like ten forty or so, um, and I said that 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.360 may be late. Ended up not being late, but I 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.679 said it may be late. Um, it wasn't late, and 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.760 everyone's there, and eleven o'clock comes, there's no Eddie. And 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.800 eleven fifteen comes, there's no Eddie, and I teck him like, dude, 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.000 where are you? Eleven thirty comes, no Eddie, eleven forty comes, 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.560 no Eddie. It turns out he went home, went to 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.760 bed and it was asleep, and Eddie didn't show up 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.960 til like eleven fifty three. So we sat there for 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.800 an hour or so. Then we drove an hour, so 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:01.960 I had to miss Iris from the Google Dolls because 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.920 I didn't want to be late. And how do you 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.400 go to a Google Dolls concert and not see Iris? 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.880 So I didn't get to watch Iris. Saw all the 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.560 rest of it though, except for Iris, and then Eddie 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.600 was an hour late, so it was not a pleasant 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.800 I get so mad when people are late, not even 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.960 for me, but it's just a disrespect thing to other people. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:28.680 So no, I haven't wrote on Twitter as pissed, which 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.720 isn't a curse word, by the way, And so yeah, 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.080 that's being addressed. We're gonna We're gonna start I'm gonna 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.399 start finding people. Do you ever watch the James Brown movie, Mike, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.200 You ever see James Brown, That's what he used to do. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.720 If you re late, he'd find you. I'm gonna start 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.840 finding people for being late. If you're lay it on 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.519 the show. I've seen people home. Were you working with 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:52.160 us when I send people home? Uh? Eddie came in 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.960 late one day and he had he just went home. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.120 Lunchbox came in one day, he just went home. Amy 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.840 came in. Amy missed a show, like just slept right 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:03.560 to the show and she got some home. And I 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.080 think she alluded to it this morning on the air. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.280 She was just like, yeah, if I go to a concert, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.079 I'm probably gonna miss the show. I mean be late. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.200 And so she like the first hour of the show 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.680 like completely. It was just like, oh, and I understand 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:23.000 if you're late sometimes occasionally if they're like an accident 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.760 or something. But yeah, that was that was a bad deal. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:28.720 But we played it. If you're listening right now and 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.400 you're a fort Wayne, I appreciate everybody who comes to 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.480 all the shows. Next weekend, we're gonna be in Tyler, 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.480 Texas and Beaumont. We have shows coming up at Macon, Georgia, 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.440 and Charleston and Springfield, like We're trying to go everywhere Tampa. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.560 It would be a big, big rest of the year. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.960 And then I don't know what's gonna happen with Raging 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.360 Idiots Woven may Um, because we're putting out a kids 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.360 finishing our kids record, but then we may call it, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.400 call it quits for a bit like the Stones, but 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.360 you know, like led Zeppelin. Yeah, this may be our 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.040 farewell tour. So if you're listening right now, this maybe it. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.960 If you've got a chance to come to the Reging Idiots, 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.080 come see us, because we don't have a lot left. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.480 Then I'm gonna just start doing I stand up comedy stuff. Um. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.000 I mean that's where that's was the most fun. And 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.800 the regidios are a lot of fun. They're just so exhausting. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.280 I mean, I dancer, my legs are still sore. But 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.560 I will say this, the Google dolls I want to 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.120 saw them on Friday night and they were really good, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.400 Like I didn't expect them to be as good as 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.560 they were, and the Google I realized, now, if your 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.600 favorite kind of music is always the music when you're 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.599 from like eighteen to twenty five years old, like that's 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.760 your favorite kind of music for your whole life. And 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.039 for me, inside of that was the Google Dolls. Not 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.919 that they're my favorite band or they were even my 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.839 favorite music, but they were in that time period, and 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.760 it's that eighteen to twenty five year old time period 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.839 where that's always going to be your music, and you 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.039 can even say sixteen to twenty five if you want 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.960 what you're moving in my dog getting comfortable in the chair. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.040 But the Google Dolls were in that time period where 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.400 I probably saw them eight times in concert, so I 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.360 was knowing tracks like people know. I mean Slide They 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:11.719 played this in the crowd freak all right after Iris. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:18.560 Their second biggest song, Slide whispering Yeah Things want to 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:27.640 Feel Man Name probably the third biggest song. I knew 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.200 all the words of the song. This is their first 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.680 single too. Now I won't tell them your name? Do 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.560 you know this on micro? Now? I just knew it 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.320 from your snapchat. That's it. You didn't know the song 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:45.640 non passed me by, So there's that. And I was 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.000 such a lamo during the show, and such a I 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.320 forgot that I was a Google Dolls fan that I 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.160 was singing b sides of records that I forgot I 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.760 even knew because they were playing song. I was like, wait, 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.560 how do I know this song? And they would play 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.599 like black Balloon, and I'll be like, I know this one, 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.320 and so I'd sing all the words. And I was 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.039 with a Nikita who was on our first uh you know, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.480 Bobby cast. She was like, how do you know these songs? 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.600 I've never heard them before. So it was really good 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.160 to be a chance to google as they were good collectives, 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:22.840 all open. They were okay, I mean all the collective 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.920 soul songs are the same. That's a good one though. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:37.279 Black Balloon here on the Bobby Cast, this black almost 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:42.680 film into that hole and do you know, I'm thinking 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:51.880 about mom, you are the same Ever heard that one? Mike? No? Never, 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:56.640 So you wouldn't even know long way down, I don't 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.160 think I'm oh man, I know about it. Really, you 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.600 don't even know slide, Like, why don't you know that 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.840 is this like oldies to you. I remember seeing that 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.960 video and like MTV and stuff, so it's not old easy. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.320 I just don't I'm not big go do. I compared 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.680 it to this morning, like me seeing the bands of 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.680 the eighties like Billy Idol or Poison. I don't know 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.360 that stuff that was before me. I was born in 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.200 the eighties, so I guess I kind of remember it. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.240 But but even that stuff, I'm aware of it, like 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.080 I'm again aware of it too. But but there were 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.280 people there that we're in that same thing with the 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.960 Google Dolls, much younger. They had to just hear it 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.320 like on Hot A C radio stations. But back in 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.040 the day, I was playing that stuff on the radio 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.000 like I was like, here it is guy. I used 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.600 to be on a station called kla Z. Was my 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.840 first ever radio station, and so it's seventeen years old. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.120 And I would be like, continue with same music one 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.440 or five point nine kla Zy with the new one 0:07:55.440 --> 0:08:01.160 from the Google Dolls. Here, slide on kla Zy. That's 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.480 all I would do. Yeah, I've never heard of that 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.920 song referred to as knew yeah, and I would knew it, Yeah, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.080 for sure, would knew it. Dude, those are the days 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.120 back at KLAZY. That's my very first ever radio station. 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.520 And I went in as a teenager and I wrote 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:14.800 about this in my book, where I went in and 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.200 just try to get a job cleaning anything to get 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.680 in radio, and they hired me to clean him before 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.320 the first ever UM weekend to clean they fired people, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.160 and so like, we need somebody on the air, and 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.680 you already work here. And I went on the air 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.680 and there's a it's hard to talk in radio terms, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.680 so you can turn a level volume knob all the 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.679 way down and listen to something and just your headphones 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.880 and it's called putting it in Q, so no one 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.360 else can hear it except for you. It's like if 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.000 a DJ is getting a song ready, he's playing turntables 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.840 and he's listening to the next song he's about to play, 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.839 he's kind of queuing up a spot. So you can 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.440 do this on the radio. Except I didn't know that 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.640 on my very first shift and had all the levels 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.080 up and I thought it was it was and I 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.200 was playing everything over the top of each other and 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.440 I said my real name, and I was so freaked 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.160 out because we're like, your name is Bobby bones, and 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.120 I was like, so the song would come on right, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.559 it would be like and I remember doing it. I 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.000 felt so stupid, and so you know, he goes, I'd 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:09.920 be like, continuous, hit me aboot, but let me started 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.120 up here. I got a whole she field. It'd be like, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.719 continue with same music. One on five point nine k 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:21.040 lez It's Bobby All. Here's the new of them. The 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.040 Google dolls slides and I remember my general manager calling 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.760 and be like, what did you say? Your name was 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.320 like like he hotlined me. It wasn't even my program 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.600 director as my general manager of all people. So anyway, 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.839 Google all was good. Went straight from there and we 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.880 drove to Fort Wayne, which was about seven hours. And 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.120 usually we have a bus. We take a bus because 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.400 we take a full band with us, unless we're doing 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.000 a funny and all one stand up show, then we'll 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.280 just fly and so, but because we were playing a 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.360 festival on Friday, they got canceled and it was like 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.520 a festival and Brad Paisley was headlining it with Randy 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.800 Hawser and Chase Rice and we were like the fourth 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.840 or fifth band end us and Maddie and Tay were 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.760 kind of in that same spot on both nights. They 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.600 canceled the festival for whatever reason, I don't know, but 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.600 they cancel the festival. So we didn't have anything to do, 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:11.920 and so we would have taken the bus, but so 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.720 instead we had one show and a bus cost a 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.440 ton of money to rent, and so we just took 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.319 a car and there were seven of us in an suv. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.280 And road tripping as an adult is not fun like 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.040 road tripping as a kid because it hurts to sleep. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.320 You have to sit up and sleep and just turn 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.760 your It's like being on an airplane for eight hours. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.880 And you don't get on an airplane for eight hours 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.240 unless you're going to another country, and then at least 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:37.800 you're in another country when you end up. But no, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.720 if it's to Indiana, Indiana is not London, you know. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.080 So that's what happened. So we wrote for eight hours 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.280 and you can't sleep because you're just sitting up in 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.959 your heads on the side, and everybody's like moving around, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.360 and just in the suit was stopping every two hours 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.800 to get another Mountain Dew, which he was driving, but 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.120 he was being paid to drive anyway, It's the whole thing. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.320 Uh FO, When you guys were awesome again if you 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.920 can come to a Raging Idiot show, come especially because 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.720 um there, I don't know how long we're gonna do this. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.880 We are, by the way, finishing our kids record, and 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.560 I don't we're not announcing it officially yet, but we 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.560 did an EP, the Raging Kitty. It's and they're like 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.640 five songs on it, and so we have another five 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.640 or six that we're adding and making it a full record, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:24.679 and we've we've got a big deal with uh. I 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.280 can't even say with who yet, but um, it's gonna 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.520 be a pretty cool kids record. And for the first 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.160 time I was listening to some of the songs, you 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.800 got to hear something, I d Yeah, you want to 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.000 be five years old? Age YEA like Potty Party is 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.320 the jam wait till you guys hear Potty Party. So 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.959 there'll be a new Raging Kiddy It's uh CD coming out. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.520 So that's what we've been doing, is being on the 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.679 road all the time and then coming back and doing 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.360 the radio show. I got a call, I guess what 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:58.080 is today? Today's Monday, because they're called Thursday or Friday. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.600 So the thing inside the format it now in country 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.520 is to make a show like ours to where the 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:11.559 people like I really enjoy the music, but they aren't 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:17.280 just only like it's the only music they know, because 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.199 listeners that listen to the show of them, they don't 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.160 just have country music on their iPhones. They have all 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.439 kinds of music on their iPhones. And so as much 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:31.040 as Hey, the licking you're here is isn't Michael myself, 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.600 it's it's Dusty. If you do here licking, he's he's 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.360 licking himself, although he is new to it, so he's 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:41.360 not Hey. Uh. So I got a call and he 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:42.400 was like, hey, want to put it. I want to 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.840 We want to put together a show like yours. You know, 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:49.000 how did you do it? And I was like, well, 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.720 I didn't put together the show. Really, the show kind 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.400 of came together on accident and turned into what it 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.439 is because nobody on the show it ever. And I 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.400 said this before on the air. I've ever done radio before, 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.640 and so I was like, I mean, I can tell 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.640 you what happened with the show. I mean I started 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.800 in the morning and I was probably twenty one doing 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:15.000 a morning show in Austin. Stop Dozy, you're good buddy, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:20.040 And I was by myself and I he was just 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.320 playing like thirteen songs an hour. And so from there 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.280 I had an intern named Jill and she was on 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.199 and then we didn't pay her, and she went to 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.280 school at class eight o'clock, and so I graduate, just 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.560 graduated college, and she was still in college, and so 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.200 she'd be there till eight then she go to class. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.120 I mean, it's a really rinking in cooperation to think 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.200 about it. And Austin's a pretty large market to have 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.040 that happening in the morning. And so I met Lunchbox 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.000 out at the bar and he was a delivery job 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:49.880 for Jason's Delhi and he comes in. He didn't have 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.319 a microphone for the first year, got part time pay, 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.560 was working other jobs. Amy was a friend for a 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.480 long time, was selling Granted And I'm just explaining this 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.600 to him, like we didn't go and find other people. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.719 I just found people that were interesting and kept them 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.160 all in a room and we just kind of learned 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.559 radio together, even the newer people on our show, because 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.160 everybody knows, I mean, hopefully you know Amy story by now. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.559 She was a Granted salesperson, met her, was a friend, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.760 friends for year year and a half or so before 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.280 I brought her on the show Lunchbox was a delivery 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.240 driver at Jason's Delhi Eddie, who's new to the radio show, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.160 but it's been my friend as long as just about 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.360 any of those guys. Eddie was my TV producer for 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.760 ten years, and that's what he does now. Has has 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.800 produced the television and at least the visual stuff of 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.480 the show. But even the guys to work on our 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.520 radio show that are in the glass room, which is 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.560 the production people, like all three of those people at 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.120 one point we're interns for the show. So I guess 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.320 Ray is kind of the senior of that group. Now 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.760 it's crazy to think about um and and Ray wasn't 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.880 even a real intern. I don't think. I think Ray 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.040 just showed up. And here's something that I get asked 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.640 about a lot. Was car those shoes to be on 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.480 the show a long time ago, And people I was like, 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.040 what happened to Carlos? And I've explained it like twenty times, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.160 and like, why are you're writing the book about Carlos? 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.000 I didn't write in the book. I'm almost positive about 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.080 anybody that didn't make the shift over to Nashville. Um, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.040 there were just too many people I write about Erica, 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.440 who was a co host for a couple of years. 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.800 There were a lot of people that didn't write about 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:25.600 um But what happened with Ray? And people assume, and 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.800 this is you guys being racist. Did I replaced That 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.040 is what they say. Oh, you replace one Mexican with another. 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.200 You replaced Eddie with Carlos. That's what happened at all. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.720 There was no Eddie, We had no Eddie position. Eddie 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.400 came on as an extra position once we came in. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.800 And so what had happened was Ray came in and 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.840 worked for free for a year at least, just showed 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.920 up and worked and worked and work and did audio 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:50.560 and he did what Carlos was doing. And Carlos was 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.520 was good at it and was a hard worker. But 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.040 Ray came in. It was just like a different level 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.440 of efficiency. Um so and people Hay did Ray on 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.120 the air, but he was just so good at what 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.640 he did. And so were you did you ever work 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.800 with Ray? He was an intern? As an intern, what 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.560 was it like to work with Raisin? In turn? Like 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.920 we didn't understand him. We were like, is that I 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.520 thought it was? I thought Ray was a joke. I 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.440 thought he was a character for a long time, but 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:22.240 super Ray is the most efficient. I'm gonna take me 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.880 out of it because I'm nuts, But Ray is the 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:29.200 most efficient person on the show. And so um, we 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.680 had to bring an audio producer, and so it was 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.680 a tough decision, and I had to bring what I 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.960 thought was the best for the show. And Carlos is 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.320 a great dude, and it was like it was good 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.600 at what he did, but we had one spot. And 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.360 as what the suck being a boss and a friend 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.120 at the same time is that I had to look 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.040 out for everybody else. So it came to the point 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.360 of what what am I gonna do, like what's best 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.800 for the whole group and for the show, And so 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.440 that spot, I didn't replace one Mexican with another. One 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.520 more person says that to me, I'm gonna it's so 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.600 much like, oh, he just replaced one Mexican with another. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.120 First of all, you have to have permission to call 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.800 a span a person in Mexican, because but that he'd 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:13.080 rather be called a Mexican. And so um, that wasn't 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.240 what happened. And Carlos stayed and produced the show locally 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.439 on Case one on one in Austin and and he 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.199 he did what Mike did for a while, and the 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.960 plan was hopefully to eventually bring Carlos to Nashville, and 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:32.000 eventually that didn't happen. Um, Mike ended up taking over 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.240 Carlos's job. Mike D who's in here with me now 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.440 worked on our show now in Nashville. Mike D was 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.119 an old intern of ours who took that job and 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.240 then got moved to Nashville from that job, which was 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.440 kind of the plan for Carlos, but there just was 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.679 never anything for sure. So anyway, that's what happened. There 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.200 was really nothing bad that ever happened. I mean no nothing, 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.439 No ill will know anything. And for those that have 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.879 no idea, Carlos was produced. He was an intern for 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.880 like then he produced a show for a bit as 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:07.639 the audio producer, and then Ray came in and I 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.680 mean just worked like crazy and we had one spot 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.760 to fill and Ray kind of took that spot. And so, um, yeah, 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.760 that was a really tough call for me to make, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.800 like personally, because I wasn't friends with Ray and I 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.960 was friends with Carlos like I was. Carlson was a 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.199 good dude. It was like a good friend. But that 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.480 was m that was a really tough call. Um. And 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.240 then Morgan was an intern. Two. I went and spoke 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:35.760 at Morgan's class at empty Issue, Middle Tennessee State, and 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.040 I said, anybody want to in turn, here's my email address. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:39.760 And she emailed me and said, hey, I want to 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.120 in turn. So interviewed her Atlanta interviewed her our old 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.080 producers living in New York now and Atlanta by the way, 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:51.000 an old intern um Atlanta interviewer, and and I talked 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.720 to her, and she came in and she interned for 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.080 a semester. Then she learned for another semester, and she 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.400 stayed around and then she rent out internships. And when 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.680 we had a phone screener job open up because Sydney 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.520 was answering phones, another old intern Sydney got, you know, 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.840 was moving off to another country with her fiance. Um, 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.439 you've seen the thing here. I like to keep all 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.280 my own people, by the way, like it's all inside 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.360 of the system. Um. So Sydney left. So I hired 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.560 Morgan as a phone screener. Atlanta said Hey, I want 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.560 to move to New York. I said, okay, great, give 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.760 me some months to find somebody. The person I was 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:27.760 looking for happening to be Morgan, who was right under 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.320 my nose the whole time. Morgan's now kind of shifted 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.760 over to that spot. And that's kind of how the 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.080 show is all together. Like there's no I never wentn't 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.240 found anybody, like let's put together a radio show. It's 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.960 all Morgan Ray and might be all former interns in 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:44.800 the glass room. They're not interns anymore, like they're real 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:49.640 paid people that are producing the largest country radio show 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.240 you know in America. And then it's Amy, a granite 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.760 person lunchbox that delivery are from Jason's Deli, Eddie a 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.040 TV producer, and me, I mean, I'm the only guy 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:00.440 I've ever been on the radio, and he and then 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:04.199 I was playing everybody kats lead Google Doll Slide like 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.160 I didn't know what I was doing. So when they 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:08.600 call like hey, I want to put together a show 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.359 like yours, I have nothing. I don't know what to 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.960 tell them. But you're seeing a lot of guys that 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.800 have a lot of interests. And here's the thing too 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.200 about artists and country music is that they don't just 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.159 listen to country music. The most annoying people are the 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.120 people that go why don't you play some real country, 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.720
