Speaker 1: What's Happen to Friends? Hello, welcome to another edition of
Speaker 1: On Time with Me Bobby Bones. I am your host,
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones. I have been described for those of you
Speaker 1: that don't know me as he's what you get if
Speaker 1: you were to take Clay Aikin and Weezer and put
Speaker 1: them together and subtract all the talent. That's me And
Speaker 1: I'm no treat by myself. That's probably not why you're
Speaker 1: watching this. But I've got some amazing people stopping by
Speaker 1: the show. We have my friend Gary Lavox of Rascal
Speaker 1: Flat stopping by. He's gonna play this song. We also
Speaker 1: have new artists Laney Wilson stopping by. She's gonna play
Speaker 1: some music too. She's also on the way to becoming
Speaker 1: a big old star. So we have music, we have guests.
Speaker 1: We're gonna play some games. You guys can also write
Speaker 1: questions in the box and I'll ask some of them too.
Speaker 1: So and if you're really lucky, I'll show you guys
Speaker 1: my third nipple. See you'll even learn some things about me.
Speaker 1: But when we get to our guests, I was like
Speaker 1: to kick things off with the shortest monologue and all
Speaker 1: the land just wham bam, thank you for the question.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the joke. Man. It's three quick jokes.
Speaker 1: We've appropately titled three jokes for the folks. Here we
Speaker 1: go home. Joke number one, Scientists are warning us that
Speaker 1: it's time to bust out the year plugs, as trillions
Speaker 1: of cicadas are emerging from their seventeen year long hibernation
Speaker 1: to mate seventeen years. That's not so bad, Listen, it's
Speaker 1: been forty one for me. I haven't made it yet.
Speaker 1: You don't see me s forming all over the place.
Speaker 1: Sam saving that from a wedding night. It's just a
Speaker 1: sexy wink. Moving on to joke number two, it's being
Speaker 1: reported in Canada fans are being contacted by profiles pretending
Speaker 1: to be Chad Kroger, the lead singer of Nickelback. Some
Speaker 1: have said the fake profile has asked them for money
Speaker 1: in the form of bitcoin or iTunes gift cards. As
Speaker 1: if Nickelback fans didn't have it roughen up already, wait
Speaker 1: till they realize it is actually Chad Kroger of Nickelback.
Speaker 1: That's right. And finally, joke number three, Target announced they
Speaker 1: will stop the sale of Pokemon cards after a man
Speaker 1: pulled a gun during a fight over trading cards in
Speaker 1: their parking lot. They described the event as the nerdiest
Speaker 1: felony in the history of American crime. He actually asked
Speaker 1: the police, can I my mommy come pick me up
Speaker 1: from jail. Gotta love America, the only place where it's
Speaker 1: easy to buy a gun in the store but impossible
Speaker 1: to buy Pokemon cards. That's right. Hit that music there
Speaker 1: it is? Those are three jokes for the folks. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Is music still going? Or am I
Speaker 1: just making the music all right? Before we get to
Speaker 1: our first musical guest. Let me check in with my
Speaker 1: fiance Caitlin. That's right here she comes. You can follow
Speaker 1: her on Instagram at kate cy Parker. And later I
Speaker 1: go check out our episode of running Wild with bear
Speaker 1: Grills that we did. She's gonna walk through that door
Speaker 1: at anytime. There she is. Thank you, Come on in,
Speaker 1: have a seat. Thank you. How are you pretty good?
Speaker 1: How how's your day been? And what did you do
Speaker 1: this after and in this afternoon? What time does that start?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good question. The afternoon four
Speaker 1: five oh? I went to a spin class. How did
Speaker 1: that five? Great? When we spin and I'm beside you.
Speaker 1: Do you watch how fast I'm going? Do you compare
Speaker 1: the output that you feel like you're putting out versus mine?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like you dominate me. I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: I feel like that as well, but I don't really
Speaker 1: watch you that much. Well, you're not doing the moves.
Speaker 1: I don't do the dance moves because I can't keep
Speaker 1: up right here, Here's what I've learned about this spin class.
Speaker 1: I put my grind on too hard, and when I'm
Speaker 1: peddling hard, I can't do the dance moves with my
Speaker 1: arms on the right pace. And so as you guys
Speaker 1: are all nailing them, I'm off. But I'm still getting
Speaker 1: pretty your workout's choice there? How did interesting analogy? How
Speaker 1: did class go today? That's great? Yeah? Good instructor? High
Speaker 1: energy was packed and I got to ride next to
Speaker 1: someone I know. Should I like? It's fun? Did you
Speaker 1: see Gary l Box in the waiting room? I did,
Speaker 1: and I waved at him. I had to come in here.
Speaker 1: I would have loved to stop buying and chatted for
Speaker 1: a bit, but um, I just got a quick wave in.
Speaker 1: And how did you get right in here? For my interview?
Speaker 1: She feel solid about the wave. I think he liked it,
Speaker 1: he smiled. Yeah, it was like, you know, it's awkward
Speaker 1: because you're like I think you probably know who I
Speaker 1: am like, but you just never know, so I didn't
Speaker 1: want to be too like he hung out at the house.
Speaker 1: He's a big star. He has a big star. Is
Speaker 1: there anything you want me to ask him when he
Speaker 1: comes in? Any question? He's a big starme. You want
Speaker 1: to ask him off camera? Yeah? Something I'll text I'm
Speaker 1: on camera, I'll text it to you. Does it have
Speaker 1: to do with him being naked? No? Last night we
Speaker 1: watched our episode of Running Wild with Bear Girls, which
Speaker 1: people can still watch right now at National Geographic dot Com.
Speaker 1: How did you feel about your performance? My performance? Like
Speaker 1: how I did on camera? How you came off? He
Speaker 1: didn't love it. I mean, I just don't like to
Speaker 1: watch myself, so I didn't love it. But I am
Speaker 1: very proud of myself for doing it. So I think
Speaker 1: those are two different things. How did I feel about
Speaker 1: my performance? How did I feel about what I accomplished?
Speaker 1: What was it like doing that episode? Awful? Scary, um, cold, scary, terrifying.
Speaker 1: It really wasn't fun right, No, there wasn't one bit
Speaker 1: of it that was fun. The only good thing about
Speaker 1: the actual time there was Bear because he is the
Speaker 1: greatest right in the moment, the only the only good
Speaker 1: thing was there after it. It's all good, it's all fun,
Speaker 1: it's all great memory. Happy we did it. People loved it,
Speaker 1: though I felt there was a good spots. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: you were the star of the show, bell of the ball.
Speaker 1: It's not the star of the show in the parade. No,
Speaker 1: people just see you a lot and they don't see
Speaker 1: me a lot. So that's why I'm sure you're feeling
Speaker 1: that way. I loved it. I thought that I should
Speaker 1: have just been you next season you go alone. Oh
Speaker 1: I don't want that because you really like Bear. No, No,
Speaker 1: I I don't want to go alone. But I I'm
Speaker 1: happy I did it. I'm happy that I stood up
Speaker 1: to a fear of mine. I was actually I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you story. Today. I was in spin and my
Speaker 1: instructor was talking about kind of how she started her
Speaker 1: spin class. And I know this is probably cliche, and
Speaker 1: we all know I'll know this saying, but she was saying, um,
Speaker 1: when you feel scared about something, just do it. Scared
Speaker 1: and that's what I want to do from now on.
Speaker 1: I just want to do it scared, regardless of what
Speaker 1: it is. I don't need to work up courage to
Speaker 1: do it. I just need to do it scared. And
Speaker 1: that's what I did the whole time during Bear Girls. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I got distracted because Mike was taking a picture and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Mike, do you look at you? Oh? Good? Okay,
Speaker 1: So anyway, for any of you that are actually watching this,
Speaker 1: whatever you're thinking that you want to do, but you
Speaker 1: don't feel like you have the courage, and you're like,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll have the courage in a week. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: have the courage in a couple of weeks. You won't,
Speaker 1: So do it scared. That's okay. You don't have to
Speaker 1: have the courage. Sometimes you only get couraged by fighting
Speaker 1: through fear. Sure, yeah, thank you. Um. I like how
Speaker 1: you just addressed the camera, just you just totally take
Speaker 1: over and you turn right to the camera. Them Like,
Speaker 1: don't know if I could help anybody. My idea has
Speaker 1: written some questions for me to ask. Would you like
Speaker 1: to answer them? What? I? Yeah? What kind of sleeper
Speaker 1: is Bobby? Um? A flailer? Elaborate that kind of a
Speaker 1: thing like that, or like I was talking your sleep,
Speaker 1: or you wake up and you request me to hug you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I do that. I wake up and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't go to sleep, but you hug me. No,
Speaker 1: he goes like, he goes me. Mike's giggling. I do,
Speaker 1: and then she's big spoon and a little spoon. I
Speaker 1: don't care. It's the only way I get the only
Speaker 1: way I get to sleep. I don't let her put
Speaker 1: her hand on my stomach though, or near my stomach,
Speaker 1: because I'm embarrassing my stomach because he has body dysmorphia
Speaker 1: and we're working through that. So she can put her
Speaker 1: arm over me, but it it has to be like up here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got to be shoulder or like pit. Yeah and pit.
Speaker 1: That ends up not with a great smell in the
Speaker 1: morning on your hand. What song do you love to
Speaker 1: sing in the car? Me? What song do I love
Speaker 1: to sing in the car? Um? I'll tell you right now,
Speaker 1: come on drives last as last. No, that's so two
Speaker 1: months ago, okay, if it was all right now? Well,
Speaker 1: my staple really is Adore You by Harry Styles. But
Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo actually has a new song out called good
Speaker 1: for you, and it's really good. Check it out. Did
Speaker 1: you ever consider changing your last name to bones even
Speaker 1: on Instagram? Not one time? And final question, what's the
Speaker 1: one thing you learned about Bobby in the last week?
Speaker 1: In the last week, Mike that stuff? What did I
Speaker 1: learn about you in the last week? Um, that you
Speaker 1: are very willing to help me with wedding things such
Speaker 1: as meetings, if I will just ask you. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: we went to Crane Barrel and did some boop boop
Speaker 1: on the board where we went to register. But we're
Speaker 1: out of gifts at this point, like people have sucked
Speaker 1: them all and now my parents have nothing to get us,
Speaker 1: so we need to chill out on the details. But um, okay,

Speaker 1: from Cat McQueen um kells Zack said, Gary put the
Speaker 1: wrong year all on Facebook, so people are going to

Speaker 1: Let's welcome my first guest, well musical guest. He's the
Speaker 1: lead singer of Rascal Flats and will soon be releasing
Speaker 1: his first ever Christian solo album. He has the voice
Speaker 1: of an angel and the only guy know who works
Speaker 1: out in full camouflage. I've seen it with my own eyes.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Gary Levox, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1: wear this black one. Yeah. Good, I brought him for you.
Speaker 1: You'll sell many and you'll be able to pay your mortgage,
Speaker 1: which is the goal. You're even wearing a wristband? Now?
Speaker 1: Why a wristband in the evening on a internet talk show? Well,
Speaker 1: you know what? It just I know how you have
Speaker 1: to turn all the air conditioners off and it gets
Speaker 1: hot and so I adap okay, you know because you
Speaker 1: maybe we're makeup and things and it's like a dap
Speaker 1: I do okay. Um onto the real questions at hand. Here,
Speaker 1: Why a solo album and why a why did you
Speaker 1: start with a Christian album? Why a solo album? Because
Speaker 1: Jodan came to us one day and said that he
Speaker 1: wanted to be home war said he was burnt and
Speaker 1: he's burnt out? Are you serious? And so that kind
Speaker 1: of we're like, okay, all right, we respect that. And
Speaker 1: so I had already kind of planned on doing one
Speaker 1: and didn't really know when it was gonna happen, because
Speaker 1: you know, Flats, we've been a thousand miles a minute
Speaker 1: for twenty years. And so when Jodon told us that,
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, well, that opens it up. And I
Speaker 1: always want to do a gospel record. I always did,
Speaker 1: and um it just all of it kind of came
Speaker 1: together and here we go. And then Friday at uh
Speaker 1: it drops the EP drops. Were you shocked? And I
Speaker 1: do want to get to the peaks that heard a
Speaker 1: lot of it. Hecky played some unreleas stuff in my
Speaker 1: house like three months ago. So so so I've kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, been to the process. But were you Did
Speaker 1: you expect Jodan to come and be like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break. No, I really didn't, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, not really because it was that was year nineteen,
Speaker 1: and we had a lot of things booked for the
Speaker 1: twenty year and everything else with trying to put the
Speaker 1: farewell tour together, and we had a lot of things
Speaker 1: set up with, uh, you know, the Grammys and c
Speaker 1: m As and all this kind of kind of just
Speaker 1: celebrate the twenty years that we had together, you know,
Speaker 1: and all the accomplishments that we've done. And then the
Speaker 1: pandemic hit. So no, it was kind of out of
Speaker 1: left field, and uh, you know, but what can you do?
Speaker 1: Did you and j Ever go, hey, we'll just do
Speaker 1: this as a duo? Was it even a conversation? It
Speaker 1: was a conversation. And but Joe j had started, uh
Speaker 1: that a little Christian label, the independent label called Red
Speaker 1: Street Records, and he wanted to make a go with that,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well that's cool. So I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I still I feel like my platform is
Speaker 1: the stage, and I still had so much music to make,
Speaker 1: and so I just stayed on my artists route, and
Speaker 1: I mean, it's stick with what you're good at, and
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to do. And did you feel
Speaker 1: like you needed a break for a bit though after this,
Speaker 1: where you like, I need to just kind of recalibrate.
Speaker 1: I did not expect this. I spent the last twenty
Speaker 1: years being a flat Did you have any nights we
Speaker 1: are like wait, what is about to happen? Or were
Speaker 1: you like, Okay, this actually gives me an opportunity to
Speaker 1: go chase this solo record. It was both. Actually it
Speaker 1: was kind of it was sad, it was disheartening, it
Speaker 1: was exciting, it was you know, it was kind of
Speaker 1: everything at once because everything I've known for half of
Speaker 1: my life is now going to be changed and can
Speaker 1: gonna be different. So but it gave me, you know,
Speaker 1: it gave me the time to to really lock in
Speaker 1: and um, you know, not only did I do a
Speaker 1: gospel record, but I already recorded a solo country record
Speaker 1: that comes out in the fall. So I just gave it.
Speaker 1: I just kind of just threw myself into my music
Speaker 1: and just let it be. Let you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: play the hands that are dealt sometimes. So the record
Speaker 1: comes out Friday. It's called One on One? Why why
Speaker 1: one on one? Well, it's kind of I think, just
Speaker 1: me doing a gospel record, just me and my my
Speaker 1: my faith walk with the Lord. And it's the first
Speaker 1: time that it's just been me. I mean, I've been
Speaker 1: the face of Flats for twenty years and now it's
Speaker 1: just one on one, me and him and me and
Speaker 1: the fans. So just kind of made sense. Do you
Speaker 1: plan to go out and play any of these songs live? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be doing all the flat stuff. And that's the question, right,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna sing the flat stuff? I think you should.
Speaker 1: I think if I went out, I'd want to hear
Speaker 1: some of the new stuff. But if I'm going to see,
Speaker 1: you know, the face of the Flats, dang it sing
Speaker 1: the flats. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. So what do
Speaker 1: you do as far as a band? You just get
Speaker 1: your buddies that know of the songs. No, it's it's
Speaker 1: actually the same. It's it's actually all the Rascal Flats band,
Speaker 1: Jim Riley, it's my drummer, Travis Toyo plays steel and
Speaker 1: everything else. He's still with me, and so it's the
Speaker 1: actual the actual Flatspan just minus Jane Jodan gotta do
Speaker 1: bass player and um, you know my keyboard players sings
Speaker 1: all the hot stuff to it on sing and so
Speaker 1: it's the same band, just minus Jane general. I mean
Speaker 1: we'd really get the full experience if you kind of
Speaker 1: dressed them up to look like them and we know
Speaker 1: they're not, but you know you still like color, the hair,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe even throw them back to old school
Speaker 1: one night Jo, you know he had the long yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, no sleeves. Yeah, just just maybe just a vest.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, because when you look back, I was
Speaker 1: looking at the multiple pictures of you guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys were now it's normal, but style wise, you
Speaker 1: were extremely different than the format. Were you guys getting
Speaker 1: a lot of the pushback from the old school Nashville
Speaker 1: folks at the time. Yeah, I mean I think everything
Speaker 1: anything new and country, I think you always do. Plus
Speaker 1: we came in at the tail into the whole boy
Speaker 1: band thing and so all that kind of played into it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean we're sitting there like, you
Speaker 1: know what we're not. We're not cowboys, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean we live that lifestyle, you know. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: his country as corn breads with which is crazy because
Speaker 1: you are. But I mean you Gary legitimately is significantly
Speaker 1: more country. And it's usually the opposite, right, people will
Speaker 1: come and act a little show a little more country
Speaker 1: than they really are. It's like you're the opposite. Like
Speaker 1: you come out, you're straight ahead, jel, you put that
Speaker 1: your hair product in, you sing. But when we're done here,
Speaker 1: he's in Camo and he's like, hey, man, come out
Speaker 1: to the farm. And I'm like, that's an hour and
Speaker 1: a half away. He's like, no man would have sit
Speaker 1: on the porch and like spitting cows. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: what's what are you? What are you talking about? Your
Speaker 1: getting the box? So, but you do live and you
Speaker 1: hunt constantly. Yeah, I mean it's just the way I
Speaker 1: grew up. But you know, it's it's like they're but
Speaker 1: it's just who I am. You know, I just gotta
Speaker 1: be real to who you are. And you know, but
Speaker 1: it's like I've never wrote it, Calf, you know, I
Speaker 1: saw it while I'm not gonna sit out and put
Speaker 1: a cowboy hat on and try to play up to
Speaker 1: something that I'm not. You know. So I wasn't here
Speaker 1: in Nashville when you guys broke and when you guys
Speaker 1: were winning the it's the Grammys, Like I wasn't here
Speaker 1: and I was actually, I mean probably twenties and we
Speaker 1: would watch on TV. It was a fan and we
Speaker 1: would start to play. I was working in Pop Radio
Speaker 1: two at the time. We're playing some of your stuff
Speaker 1: over there, So I'm I missed the impact you guys
Speaker 1: had on Nashville. Were you guys king dingling of the
Speaker 1: talent for a while? It? For yeah, we really had
Speaker 1: just kind of held the torchs for yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: a long time. Really. I mean it's I mean, two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, we outsold everybody in the world that
Speaker 1: put a record out in any genre music, you know.
Speaker 1: So and I remember being at the Grammy's up against
Speaker 1: Beyonce and Mary J. Blige and Kanye and jay Z,
Speaker 1: and we're like, it doesn't matter if we win or not.
Speaker 1: We outsold everybody in this room. That's you can't even
Speaker 1: fathom that kind of stuff. So, I mean, we had
Speaker 1: a you know, I mean, it's made the Guinness Book
Speaker 1: with you know, seven consecutive c M a vocal group.
Speaker 1: I mean, all that stuff is just mind blowing. We
Speaker 1: had the We're kind of top dog there for a
Speaker 1: minute for sure. Were you in Entertainer of the Year member,
Speaker 1: which which is crazy to me because I was gonna
Speaker 1: let you answer no, because I knew the answer. I
Speaker 1: looked it up. The fact that you weren't allowed or
Speaker 1: they didn't put you in that when you were the
Speaker 1: actual entertainers of not just country music, but you said it.
Speaker 1: You're out telling everybody. I think even as the success
Speaker 1: was happening, I still would have had some sort of resentment, like, hey,
Speaker 1: why aren't you guys putting us because we're not when
Speaker 1: Cowboy has? Is that why we're upset about it? We were?
Speaker 1: We thought it was well deserved. I mean it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're the first band to ever play Wrigley Field,
Speaker 1: first country concert to ever play Wrigley I mean at
Speaker 1: that time, it's like we've sold out four different tours
Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden, and hey, we were doing big stuff,
Speaker 1: and it was like every year we weren't an entertainer
Speaker 1: and was like what how does that even happen? You know,
Speaker 1: It's like and then you go and it's like you
Speaker 1: start thinking about that stuff, and then the hand your
Speaker 1: plaque for ten million tickets sold and you know, all
Speaker 1: that stuff. It kind of it sits with you. Not
Speaker 1: that we weren't you know, grateful, but you know you
Speaker 1: kind of just sit and scratch your head, like, uh,
Speaker 1: there's not really anything else we can do, Like I
Speaker 1: would have been again, I would have resented the people
Speaker 1: that make those decisions because it's such an inside bubble
Speaker 1: decision that's being made. And I would think you guys
Speaker 1: were so successful. And I've seen other this happened to
Speaker 1: other people in town too. Uh. Sam Hunt for example,
Speaker 1: he had a couple of years where he was crushing,
Speaker 1: not at the level you guys worked, but he and
Speaker 1: he wasn't be nominated for anything. And it's like, Wow,
Speaker 1: why are we so out of touch? Why do we
Speaker 1: have to to to make it that only a certain
Speaker 1: type of sin that we deem which removes the power
Speaker 1: from the people. And I felt like they removed that
Speaker 1: with you guys. Yeah, I feel the same way. I
Speaker 1: think like Single of the Year, take the top five
Speaker 1: singles with the most spins or whatever, and that should
Speaker 1: be your top five, you know. I mean it seems
Speaker 1: easy to me, but that's not the politics of the game,
Speaker 1: you know. And as you guys are achieving superstardom, did
Speaker 1: it ever get to where it was eagles like like
Speaker 1: we have own dressing rooms, were just coming out and
Speaker 1: meeting on stage or was there was there ever a
Speaker 1: phase like that. No. You know, the only time there
Speaker 1: was a phase like that was when it was like
Speaker 1: we were like no, because we spent every night on
Speaker 1: the dressing rooms together and all that. But it was busses,
Speaker 1: you know, because we started having kids and all of that.
Speaker 1: But that was the only time. But it was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not picking up your socks, I'm not
Speaker 1: picking up your food. We're grown men in this place
Speaker 1: that we're not doing it. So we all got separate
Speaker 1: busses and everything was great. But now we spent every
Speaker 1: night in the dress room together. Was there ever, Because

Speaker 1: Well normal is not the word I would use, but
Speaker 1: it's so approachable and friendly. Gosh, make just sat down
Speaker 1: on the couch and we just started talking about a
Speaker 1: little bit everything. So it's interesting to see you now
Speaker 1: becoming the star. I always felt you would be because
Speaker 1: we met years ago. I was watching Blanco Brown's going
Speaker 1: to do the two step and yeah, so I messaged you.
Speaker 1: I messaged Laney on Instagram and was like hey, because
Speaker 1: you were doing the dance with him, and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: can you teach me this? And Laney's like yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: she goes, I mean I'll come over. I say, we'll
Speaker 1: put you in the video, and well you can teach us,
Speaker 1: and you said I'll call Blanco and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's extremely nice to her because I was saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you could do and you're like, no, we'll do one.
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get the real deal involved. And then
Speaker 1: you and Blanco came into the house and then you
Speaker 1: don't even You're like, I don't need to be in
Speaker 1: the video. And I was like wow, heng Now, I
Speaker 1: was like, people who really know it, y'all get accurate.
Speaker 1: I'm just here to kind of help the siltate. But
Speaker 1: it was it just showed me just how awesome of
Speaker 1: a person you were, and that you also knew that
Speaker 1: your time was coming, that wasn't gonna be your time.
Speaker 1: You had your own reason. Yeah. It's funny too, though,
Speaker 1: Like we put that video up on YouTube and I
Speaker 1: put so many dangs. You was a me singing on YouTube,
Speaker 1: and of course I put one of me dancing. The
Speaker 1: thing goes viral and I'm like, shoot, I should have
Speaker 1: been dancing. So now to see you, you know, blow up.
Speaker 1: It's been crazy because we did the our Raging Idiot
Speaker 1: Show last year, no two years oh, because the pandemic,
Speaker 1: we didn't have it. And you came out and did
Speaker 1: Fat Bottom Girls by Queen and and you crushed so hard.
Speaker 1: The crowd didn't know you at the time, but when
Speaker 1: you were done, they loved you. I couldn't get them
Speaker 1: to stop clapping. It was wild. That was my first
Speaker 1: time playing the rhyman. I mean, I will never forget it.
Speaker 1: And got up there and of course I think fat
Speaker 1: Bottom Girl, but I just remember you crushing it so
Speaker 1: hard that the crowd was like, we don't know her yet,
Speaker 1: but we think we're going to know her. That's the goal.
Speaker 1: Every time I get up there, I'm like, they don't
Speaker 1: know me from Adam, but when I get done with this,
Speaker 1: they don't know me. So what's the difference now in
Speaker 1: the feeling of when you have a song climbing the charts?
Speaker 1: Right now. It's so strange. I mean, actually, I was
Speaker 1: at home in Louisiana not too long ago that tractor supply,
Speaker 1: and uh, this guy came up to me was like,
Speaker 1: are you that girl that sings that song about what
Speaker 1: a man out? So he recognized you. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, you work at tractor supply, So I
Speaker 1: guess you do know a few things that mayn't ought
Speaker 1: to know. But it's been it's been interesting. It's uh,
Speaker 1: it's just like you, like you said a minute ago,
Speaker 1: I've always just kind of felt like my time was coming. Um,
Speaker 1: I've never had a plan. B So at some point
Speaker 1: in time, this gotta work and used to drive back
Speaker 1: and forth and used to tour like you would go
Speaker 1: home like you'd be here and try to make it,
Speaker 1: but then you you had to pay the bills, so
Speaker 1: you would just drive home and play shows down there. Yep.
Speaker 1: So I was living at a camper, and I lived
Speaker 1: in the camp for in the first three years I
Speaker 1: was here, and I was living in a studio parking
Speaker 1: lot somebody who was just letting me live in their
Speaker 1: yard basically and let me bumb you know, their water
Speaker 1: and WiFi. So I didn't have a whole lot of bills,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean I had to buy groceries and
Speaker 1: gas money and stuff like that. So I go home
Speaker 1: to Louisiana or Mississippi and just play as many shows
Speaker 1: as I could and just try to make ends meete. Yep,
Speaker 1: was there ever a time where you saw it? Man,
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I can do this, and
Speaker 1: I'm I don't think I'm gonna do this. What's crazy
Speaker 1: is no, like, I'm I have to be a little
Speaker 1: borderline crazy because there there were times in my life
Speaker 1: where I should have packed my stuff and went home absolutely,
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I've just I'm a little hard headed,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of always felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what I was, I was born
Speaker 1: to do, and I will figure out one way or another.
Speaker 1: And I got really supportive parents. And my daddy's a farmer,
Speaker 1: and I've seen him like get up every single day
Speaker 1: and just do the dame thing, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: like work his fingers to the bone and it's his
Speaker 1: livelihood and he has bad years, good years, but at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like, if you love it,
Speaker 1: you do it. So are they so proud of you? Oh,
Speaker 1: they're so tickled. I mean to for them to turn
Speaker 1: on their local country station and hear their daughter on
Speaker 1: the radio. What what does that do for them? Well, actually,
Speaker 1: Daddy was righting the tractor the other day and um,
Speaker 1: they just finished playing corn and he called me, and
Speaker 1: it was really a full circle thing for me. It
Speaker 1: was just wild because any time I ever wanted to
Speaker 1: spend time with him, I'd have to go right the
Speaker 1: tractor with him because he was just always at it.
Speaker 1: So he called me, and I don't remember what I
Speaker 1: was doing, but he just said, hey, I'm out here,
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm on the tractor out in the field,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to let you know I just
Speaker 1: heard you on the countdown and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: now I'm about to school. So it was just you
Speaker 1: could just hear in his voice. He don't have to
Speaker 1: tell me that he's proud of me, but he is. Man,
Speaker 1: that's so cool. Have you played a show? And I
Speaker 1: guess you probably haven't played a show back home since
Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic, because you really there hasn't been
Speaker 1: a lot of shows. Well, you know, just now, are
Speaker 1: you starting to go out at all? Have you been
Speaker 1: out at all? To play anything. Yeah, so we've done
Speaker 1: some stuff out West Idaho, Wyoming. We've got some stuff. Shoot,
Speaker 1: where are we going this weekend? And see, that's the
Speaker 1: best thing is when you start because you're you're getting
Speaker 1: some when you forget where you're going, because you're just
Speaker 1: like a hundred miles an hour, things are coming at
Speaker 1: you like congratulations. Because when I I saw you go
Speaker 1: where are we going? Like that's the first step and
Speaker 1: just making it like thank God, you get to go.
Speaker 1: I'm running so hard and I'm so tired that I
Speaker 1: can't remember that's the greatest blessing. I'm so pumped, like
Speaker 1: I cannot get out there quick enough. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're in uh Austin and Decatur, Illinois this weekend.
Speaker 1: And it's just nice to see people. Yeah, the first
Speaker 1: time you play a show back home, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: just so moved. To have your people seeing your music
Speaker 1: bag is going to be another milestone for you. Here
Speaker 1: and there. Like I've seen like in a few different places,
Speaker 1: like we played somewhere in Arizona and I saw some
Speaker 1: people singing a lot of the songs, and I mean
Speaker 1: I've never seen that, and it did make me feel
Speaker 1: all warm and fuzzy, and I was like, Wow, this
Speaker 1: is like what you work so hard for, you know,
Speaker 1: for people to just connect and latch onto something. And
Speaker 1: I mean that's a songwriter's dream, you know. So my
Speaker 1: hometown seven hundred people. Your hometown baskets three hundred, you know.

Speaker 1: is now. What does that mean? It means that if
Speaker 1: you want success in life, you gotta at right now.
Speaker 1: You can't get better at something if you're not putting,
Speaker 1: putting effort in and trying listen. I failed time after time,
Speaker 1: was rejected by everybody radio stations, book publishers, TV stations,
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Had to beg, Lanny, just
Speaker 1: come to the show. It's rejecting me nine times to
Speaker 1: even be here today. So if you feel like the
Speaker 1: world is passing, you buy and that you can't keep
Speaker 1: up with the Joneses or the Kardashians or the TikTok
Speaker 1: stars or whoever that gen Z looks up to these days.
Speaker 1: It is never too late to get started and try.
Speaker 1: You can be someone they look up to. You can
Speaker 1: change the narrative. Have a great night. I'll see you
Speaker 1: next time here on the show that we call on
Speaker 1: Time with Bobby Bones. Don't forget be excellent to each other.
Speaker 1: Party on good night everybody. I guess Hey, this is
Speaker 1: Joe from the Biz Tape podcast, a podcast that serves
Speaker 1: as a catchall for music, business and media news of
Speaker 1: the week. Srib and listen to the Biz Tape on
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. So d m X sadly passed away
Speaker 1: at fifty years old, like on April nine. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was a real bummer. My friend group was really
Speaker 1: in the DMX, so like they were all very you know,
Speaker 1: sad and about it, and I listened to a lot
Speaker 1: of his music, so I was kind of sad about everything.
Speaker 1: But the real question now is like, what's going on
Speaker 1: with this the state? You know what I mean? He's
Speaker 1: had all these records and stuff in his fifteen children
Speaker 1: would also like to know. Yeah, oh my god, fifteen children.
Speaker 1: No shame at having fifteen children, but splitting something fifteen ways,
Speaker 1: it's really hard to do. How many kids that Bob
Speaker 1: Marley have? Just for comparison, I don't know. Let's see
Speaker 1: what it is here, Let's look it up. What is uh,
Speaker 1: let's see let's see what Joe looks that up. We're
Speaker 1: gonna play this game where basically I'm gonna get you
Speaker 1: all to guess how much you think d m x
Speaker 1: is royalties are and all defined royalties here in a minute, Joe,
Speaker 1: you got anything? Yeah, okay, Just for comparison, Bob Marley
Speaker 1: um has eleven kids. Okay, So d m X beat him,
Speaker 1: all right? So also that also bitter bitter estate battle
Speaker 1: in there too, so this is gonna get rough. Um,
Speaker 1: But Billboard did a fun thing where they tried to
Speaker 1: guess using some calculations which I'll get into in a second, um,
Speaker 1: how much kind of his catalog of music is worth.
Speaker 1: So this revenue is coming from his master recordings and
Speaker 1: his publishing. And this is all speculative, like they have
Speaker 1: like some kind of comments that they base off and
Speaker 1: all the fine don't right. And for you know viewers
Speaker 1: that may not know, we're talking about master recording royalties,
Speaker 1: which is the money that the label makes him for
Speaker 1: quote unquote exploiting records. So this is like streaming CDs
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, the actual recordings and exploiting in
Speaker 1: the good way of that's just how every label contract
Speaker 1: will say, we get to exploit your master recording. Then
Speaker 1: the other side of the money is the publishing money,
Speaker 1: the publishing royalties, and that's money paid to the songwriter,
Speaker 1: which is DMX in this is for copies of his
Speaker 1: song that are made. So we're talking about streaming CDs,
Speaker 1: but this also includes sinc deals and anything else that
Speaker 1: you actually need publishing rights for. Also, this can be
Speaker 1: you know, made smaller by co writers, so keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. So, Joe, I'm gonna give you some notable
Speaker 1: d m X facts. And with this information, I want
Speaker 1: you to guess I will give you. I would say this,
Speaker 1: let's start out. It's obviously more than zero, so the
Speaker 1: easy one there for you. Um, and it's less than
Speaker 1: your high ball when we were talking about it earlier,
Speaker 1: which Joe still doesn't know the fifty million dollars. It's
Speaker 1: in between zero and fifty million if you're keeping it
Speaker 1: at home. So here's some fun facts that may raise
Speaker 1: or lower your guests. On the Billboard Top one hundred,
Speaker 1: he has appeared sixteen times, eleven times as a lead artist,
Speaker 1: but only has beat the top forty three times, with
Speaker 1: the highest at seventeen. Okay, so we're you know, he
Speaker 1: had some He had a lot of hits, but nothing
Speaker 1: like crazy, didn't have a number one, didn't have anything
Speaker 1: like that, most notably, which is nuts. And most people
Speaker 1: will be like, I think blindside of this, because I was.
Speaker 1: He is the first artist ever to have their first
Speaker 1: five albums go number one on the Billboard two five
Speaker 1: in a row. That has never been done before debut
Speaker 1: and the first and the next four we're number one.
Speaker 1: So yeah, alright, this calculation was made assuming he has
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty publishing deal with a publishing entity. So
Speaker 1: he's basically splitting his royalty of publishing money in half
Speaker 1: on top, like I was saying earlier, of having other
Speaker 1: songs that could have co writers, which then he'd have
Speaker 1: to split it even more. So, just keep in mind,
Speaker 1: is publishing money is fifty assuming because we're assuming he
Speaker 1: had a publishing deal, and then the calculation for his
Speaker 1: master recording royalty was made that he gets an eight
Speaker 1: royalty on physical old sales and on digital sales. And
Speaker 1: then I didn't add this in here, Joel, but we're
Speaker 1: assuming that he's on that he's recouped. He doesn't owe
Speaker 1: anything to the label, He doesn't have anything from publishing
Speaker 1: or anything like that, so this would be so just
Speaker 1: to be clear, this is the money that he's pocketing.
Speaker 1: This is the money he's pocketing after after this, after
Speaker 1: the labels cuts, after this publishing entity cut, and after
Speaker 1: you know, co writers are taking cuts of stuff. This
Speaker 1: is the evaluation of all of that money. How much
Speaker 1: money do you think this money is worth? Again? Between
Speaker 1: zero and fifty million. Here, I'll get it fun. I
Speaker 1: will give you, I'll give you one guess, and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you higher or lower and then you get another guess. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So don't look at the word document because I'll okay,
Speaker 1: I got to look away. Um. So I'm thinking, um
Speaker 1: because like with any artists like this, when whenever they
Speaker 1: pass away, they do have a spike and S's streams
Speaker 1: very smart, and I think maybe it's valued higher now
Speaker 1: than what it could be maybe three year or four
Speaker 1: years down the line. Um. But i'm gonna say you
Speaker 1: said less than fifty million, less than fifty million, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna highball it. Still, I'm gonna say, like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, like thirty five million, lower, lower than
Speaker 1: that lower? Oh god, yeah, man, okay, also lower than
Speaker 1: thirty five million. This man, isn't you know zero dollars?
Speaker 1: This is a very going to be insane as you're
Speaker 1: gonna be a stupid number. I don't think it's stupid.
Speaker 1: I think it makes sense based on what I told you.
Speaker 1: But it's okay, I'm gonna people, Okay, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: the obstruction. I'm gonna go pretty well, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: ten million, okay, Well, it's actually half of your first number.
Speaker 1: Basically it is seventeen point seven million dollars. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that has to get split up in between fifteen he
Speaker 1: had five number one He had five number one albums,
Speaker 1: which is kind of important in this case. Um, alright,
Speaker 1: so I want to open this up. So first off,
Speaker 1: this estate is going to be a nightmare because there's
Speaker 1: so many kids. Fifteen people have claims to this money,
Speaker 1: and not to mention that they have to pay lawyer fees. Um,
Speaker 1: if maybe he has debt or anything like that, they
Speaker 1: have to get that together and everything. This money is
Speaker 1: up there like the Michael Jackson the state and being
Speaker 1: fought over in princes of state and being fought over
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out what's going on with this
Speaker 1: money years, and like the point is is that the
Speaker 1: longer they wait on this money, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: It's like the longer they wait, the more fees get
Speaker 1: taken out. They gotta pay place. You know, if he
Speaker 1: has property, they gotta pay the property if they's got
Speaker 1: you know, the longer the lawyer has to work, the
Speaker 1: more money that is. And then again fifteen times times,
Speaker 1: so like this is a big deal. I mean, and
Speaker 1: I literally was talking to a friend of ours who's
Speaker 1: a lawyer, and she was like, man, I would love
Speaker 1: to see those documents. Like so, I mean see it
Speaker 1: or work on it. I feel like working on it
Speaker 1: would be insanely do not work. I would not want
Speaker 1: to work on it unless they were like, we will
Speaker 1: give you our portion of the seventeen million, which like
Speaker 1: and he had he had no will or anything. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that yet. They haven't really specified specifically.
Speaker 1: But even then with a will, it can be contested,
Speaker 1: it can have issues with that. I mean, okay, first off,
Speaker 1: I just did the calculation. If we evenly split it
Speaker 1: seventeen fifteen ways, it's one point one eight mill Wow. Okay.
Speaker 1: And then here's the other part that we're completely forgetting.
Speaker 1: This isn't liquid money. So this is like money that
Speaker 1: can come in and grow in value. Which is funny
Speaker 1: that you said that you think it will go down
Speaker 1: because Rolling Stone, I'm not rolling So Billboard actually has
Speaker 1: the opposite. For an interesting reason for our listeners is
Speaker 1: because they think the publishing money will grow because traditionally
Speaker 1: rock and roll music has the highest kind of publishing
Speaker 1: rate because it's very songwriter focused. But there's been an
Speaker 1: increase in the industry and Billboard predicted this and I've
Speaker 1: seen this in other places that raps publishing revenue will
Speaker 1: increase over time due to the fan base becoming larger
Speaker 1: people who you know, since rock and roll older and older,
Speaker 1: since the fan base of rock and roll diminishes as
Speaker 1: it you know, becomes less of a primary genre, and
Speaker 1: then the you know, kids that grew up specifically with
Speaker 1: just rap and hip hop as the main genre grow,
Speaker 1: then you could see that getting more expensive. Um, it's
Speaker 1: actually interesting because if you compare the two genres, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities and in how they grew and
Speaker 1: where they are in their in their place basically, like
Speaker 1: even even it's almost like one to one time frame
Speaker 1: of like between know, some dude in his basement to
Speaker 1: now it's it's like mainstream arena tours happening. So it yeah,
Speaker 1: that is very interesting and I actually never thought about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't that It's such a weird thing to think about,
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean it makes it makes sense.
Speaker 1: But so that publishing money, you know, assuming that they're
Speaker 1: going to keep that rate going and everything, then uh,
Speaker 1: that could be that could be just increasing in value.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing is like who needs this money,
Speaker 1: you know, especially if it's publishing money and they have
Speaker 1: rights of it, and it's like, fifteen people have to
Speaker 1: get together and figure out are we selling our publishing rights?
Speaker 1: That's a problem. Like that's just gonna be hard to do,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure somebody will be you know what i mean.
Speaker 1: Like if some publishing company came up to them and
Speaker 1: was like, oh, we would like to buy the remainder
Speaker 1: of the publishing split, you have to go clear that
Speaker 1: with fifteen people, you know, fifteen or do you would you?
Speaker 1: I guess depending if they have is like you wouldn't
Speaker 1: get you wouldn't it wouldn't be split up, depending if
Speaker 1: they have legitimacy of the rights. Also, like again this
Speaker 1: is what I'm wondering with the will and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, if one kid had like one album and
Speaker 1: the other kid that would be hilarious. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: it's just more of like it depends on his will
Speaker 1: and everything and how that is. And like we've seen.
Speaker 1: The crazy partis we've seen celebrities with no will. Prince
Speaker 1: had no will at all. That's still nuts to me.
Speaker 1: No will, and so like I have no idea, you know,
Speaker 1: it's up in the air, if he had a will
Speaker 1: and had that like all put together, and if that
Speaker 1: will is legitimate to be used. And finally, my point
Speaker 1: is is Joe may remember from our MTSU days, recapturing
Speaker 1: of works is up on the table. So if you
Speaker 1: don't know about this, uh, Basically, to summarize this way down,
Speaker 1: there is a policy and copyright law where you can
Speaker 1: recapture ownership of your songs basically um and then and
Speaker 1: that can be the publishing money and the songwriter money.
Speaker 1: It's the master recordings and stuff like that. It's a
Speaker 1: very long process. You have to wait, I believe thirty
Speaker 1: five years to do it. Now the thirty five years
Speaker 1: for DMX for like recordings which are like the beginning
Speaker 1: of the really valuable recordings of his career, would become
Speaker 1: could come into ownership as soon as twenty three. But
Speaker 1: it's an extensive filing process to get all that together.
Speaker 1: You have to be on the ball with it. You
Speaker 1: have to file ten years before. So they would have
Speaker 1: to file in and then that enables them to have
Speaker 1: full ownership of those recordings. So their old label that
Speaker 1: he was under would not have ownership of those recordings
Speaker 1: if they get it to do right. We've seen like
Speaker 1: a passing story even the other day where Dwight Yoakum
Speaker 1: is getting denied his rights because he might have been
Speaker 1: five days late because of the label not seeing it,
Speaker 1: like not sending it a time not to go in
Speaker 1: another story, but just as proof of like you know this,
Speaker 1: this is messy. Yeah, it gets very messy. So um.
Speaker 1: If they get that though, then they can renegotiate to
Speaker 1: have those records exploited with another company and then maybe
Speaker 1: you can get a better deal you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and make more money. And then usually when you make
Speaker 1: a deal like that with a big catalog, they might
Speaker 1: give you an advance, you know what I mean, or
Speaker 1: something like that.
