Speaker 1: Show this school in Massachusetts, four and fifty four students
Speaker 1: in this one class, a thirty class, and they have
Speaker 1: twenty four sets of twins. Wow, whoa on there?
Speaker 2: What the heck?
Speaker 1: They have twenty four sets of twins out of four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four students, ten percent of the classes twin.
Speaker 3: I wonder how many of those are that's just runs
Speaker 3: in their family or their IVF.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: Hey, well, if any of that's the case, it's still wild.
Speaker 1: That's an abnormal amount of twins.
Speaker 4: We have these twins in high school, and like we
Speaker 4: always got it mixed up, like everyone would call the
Speaker 4: wrong twin by the wrong name.
Speaker 1: Like I wondered if that's the problem at this school.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's got to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Tim, I'm sorry, but I mean, all the
Speaker 1: twins don't look alike, Eddie. It's not like all the
Speaker 1: twins looking like every other one of the twins that
Speaker 1: we had in our school did. No, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: look alike. But they're not looking like the other twins,
Speaker 1: other sets of twins.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, I know. But you know, do you
Speaker 4: miss up one set of twins? I'm sure you mess
Speaker 4: up with the other sets.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true because like Pam and that's not true.
Speaker 6: You just saying words.
Speaker 3: But also what's cool that this is it leads to
Speaker 3: opportunity for twins dating twins, like that'd be fun.
Speaker 1: That's like some in bred types see them hold their
Speaker 1: hands down the hall and they they're starts. They're switching
Speaker 1: it like hand. It's like, oh wait, I'm Tim, No Jim,
Speaker 1: that's from twenty five New. Now my family, I know,
Speaker 1: not a lot of twins. I guess no twins, but
Speaker 1: you know we I have a weird family tree in
Speaker 1: that my mom and her sister married my biological dad
Speaker 1: and his brother. So it's two sisters. No, not Arkansas,
Speaker 1: it's not, although I do get that a lot, but
Speaker 1: our family tree is very much no branches. Wow, anybody
Speaker 1: any of my cousins, we're all related to the same people.
Speaker 1: There's no other sides of the family. That's wild. So
Speaker 1: it's again my mom her sister married my biological dad
Speaker 1: and his brother, so I have double cousins. My cousins
Speaker 1: are cousins on both sides. That is, so anybody they're
Speaker 1: related to, I'm also related to. There's no other way
Speaker 1: around it. I wonder if we have like more matching
Speaker 1: DNA than normal cousins. We have to write. I don't
Speaker 1: know we got enough double both sides.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: It's not inbred. It's nothing about Arkansas.
Speaker 3: It's like my sister we went to Arkansas when we
Speaker 3: were younger, like family road trip to visit our aunt, uncle,
Speaker 3: and our cousin. There became kind of like a kissing
Speaker 3: cousin with my sister.
Speaker 5: I don't know if we don't have to.
Speaker 1: Do Arkansas kissing cousins.
Speaker 5: Were from Texas, Arkansas.
Speaker 3: No, No, he was really cute, like I get it,
Speaker 3: and we didn't.
Speaker 1: Know Arkansas relatives making out go ahead.
Speaker 3: I was going somewhere with that, Like we didn't really
Speaker 3: know him.
Speaker 5: So it's sort of just like was a thing. But
Speaker 5: I get it.
Speaker 3: They weren't as yours would be closer to you, like
Speaker 3: we were more removed. So you definitely couldn't have a
Speaker 3: kissing cousin.
Speaker 1: No, your cousin, No, I hear you. But so what
Speaker 1: you could have just said your sister had a cousin,
Speaker 1: you had to go to Arkansas, where I'm from.
Speaker 3: No, I remember the whole drive back, she listened to
Speaker 3: that song.
Speaker 5: It must have been love Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Not get to happen on the show.
Speaker 3: I think it was kind of like, dang, we're cousins,
Speaker 3: Like this isn't gonna go anywhere.
Speaker 5: I don't even think they really kissed, you know, there
Speaker 5: was like an attraction.
Speaker 3: And yeah, but we didn't know him. Doesn't matter, Amy, Well, we're.
Speaker 1: Still related if you know them or not.
Speaker 5: That's why.
Speaker 3: On the way back she was like, it must have
Speaker 3: been loved, but it's over now because we're cousins.
Speaker 1: You know what in the world this is crazy. Okay.
Speaker 1: Let's say you meet your cousin and you never met
Speaker 1: him your whole life, and you fall in love. Do
Speaker 1: you marry them? Well, I mean, well, what state your cousin?
Speaker 1: What state? Doesn't matter? Do you When do you find
Speaker 1: out they're your cousins?
Speaker 5: The thing is back in the day, this is the thing.
Speaker 4: What do you mean when do you find Because if
Speaker 4: you get married and then you find out your five
Speaker 4: years married divorce, you do it's over?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 1: Okay, whole time I would say done at all.
Speaker 5: Just let it be.
Speaker 1: I have kids too, Yeah, they don't have tales though. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Let's say you date for you don't
Speaker 1: know them at all, Your parents or families are strange,
Speaker 1: and you finally like run to them. Oh we're cousins. Wow,
Speaker 1: first cousins. You fall in love, right then? Can you date? No? No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you'd had no relationship prior.
Speaker 1: And your parents family that they don't have a relationship, no.
Speaker 6: That's okay, but no, no, just think how easy the
Speaker 6: wedding will be because you don't have to decide like, ooh, no,
Speaker 6: sides right exactly everyone?
Speaker 7: We have friends, but yeah, who you're here for my cousins.
Speaker 3: I think we're to a point now where that's not
Speaker 3: what we do. We don't we don't marry our cousins.
Speaker 1: But we just kissed him. But again, what if you
Speaker 1: fell in love and didn't know they were okay? What
Speaker 1: if again, you fall in love you don't know they're
Speaker 1: your cousin. You do a twenty three and me or
Speaker 1: whatever ancestry or whatever it is, and it's like you're
Speaker 1: first cousins and you're in love, you're engaged, you're engaged.
Speaker 1: Call it off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's totally not happening.
Speaker 6: Oh, guys, I think you're I think you're overreacting. I
Speaker 6: think you keep it together.
Speaker 1: I think if you're engaged and you already have a love.
Speaker 6: What if you meet at a family reunion and you've
Speaker 6: never met him, and you're twenty eight years old and
Speaker 6: she's twenty five and you've never met.
Speaker 2: And you meet at a family reunion, you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know what, Like.
Speaker 1: Let's look and see that those cousins if that is like,
Speaker 1: first of all, is it legal to marry your first cousin?
Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't Rudy Julie?
Speaker 1: You want to do that? And see this history that something?
Speaker 5: Didn't Rudy Giuliani, Mary's first cousin.
Speaker 1: I don't know for all that stuff, I forget.
Speaker 3: He's I don't really mind whatever we say about him.
Speaker 1: It's legal for cousins to marry. See a new bill
Speaker 1: would change that. How about is it legal to marry
Speaker 1: your cousin's federal federal law? I mean that would mean
Speaker 1: national law. I mean, why don't we bringing the law
Speaker 1: into this. Let's just would you do? First cousin marriage
Speaker 1: remains completely legal in these seventeen states Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Tennessee or Moonton, Virginia. Hey, no, Arkansas, their suckers,
Speaker 1: did you one? No, I turned in it's they.
Speaker 5: Don't even need a law about it. Whatever room for
Speaker 5: that in the prison.
Speaker 1: You guys have haters, and I hate all of you too.
Speaker 1: Here's they make a map that shows where you can
Speaker 1: marry your cousin, Like, go to this state to marry them.
Speaker 1: Twenty four states prohibit marriages between first cousins. Seven states
Speaker 1: allow first cousin marriages with conditions such as genetic counseling
Speaker 1: or if the partner is sterile.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because you can't procreate.
Speaker 6: What does it mean when someone's once are moved, that's
Speaker 6: second cousin?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it says first cousins once are moved. Does
Speaker 1: that mean second cousin?
Speaker 5: I never understand when people speak that way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, either. Okay. So let's say you on your
Speaker 1: wedding day you find out that that's your first cousin.
Speaker 4: But before you get married, before the ideas before yeah day,
Speaker 4: what over you say, I'm out. Yeah, I'm not doing this.
Speaker 4: We can't do this. We're cousins. Yeah, hopefully she agrees.
Speaker 5: It's just one of those things you're not going to
Speaker 5: be able to get over.
Speaker 1: I'm down down, well, Bobby, I expect that.
Speaker 2: I just don't. I think you guys are overreacting.
Speaker 1: I think it reacted. You're crazy. Yeah, and okay, fine,

Speaker 1: reveal that. Okay, you guys are haters. And I'd like
Speaker 1: to shout out to everybody in Arkansas. I love you. You

Speaker 1: three I don't ever let them come in your day,
Speaker 1: which is Josh, wake up, wake Up.
Speaker 8: The mall.
Speaker 9: And the turning radio and the Davis's Tidy lunchbox, more
Speaker 9: game two, good Steve Bread, haven't trying to put you through.
Speaker 9: Fogy's running this week's next Minute, and Bobby's on the box.
Speaker 1: So you knowing this.
Speaker 7: The Bobby Balls.
Speaker 1: Time for the news. Bobby's. A recent twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: survey said, what are the top regrets in your life
Speaker 1: that are still on your mind? Already A couple here.
Speaker 1: I'll ask you guys that question. Top regrets of your
Speaker 1: life that you still think about sometimes? Number one spending
Speaker 1: too much time on your phone, not prioritizing life moments
Speaker 1: number two. Losing touch with friends past and present. Number
Speaker 1: three not standing up to bullies during childhood and even work.
Speaker 1: If you guys don't have one, I can go first
Speaker 1: get one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, oh, well, a big one. Because I've
Speaker 3: lost both my mom and my dad. There's just so
Speaker 3: many conversations I never had with them, and it's a
Speaker 3: huge regret. And if they were around, I know there's
Speaker 3: very specific things I would ask them. I would talk
Speaker 3: to them about and I wouldn't be so shy or nervous,
Speaker 3: like I think I didn't want to ask them to
Speaker 3: dig a little bit deeper, but I think it would
Speaker 3: have been beneficial for everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think about like chicks, Like, Okay, so I'm in
Speaker 6: a bar and I make out with you know, there's
Speaker 6: two chicks and I'm like, oh, which one I choose
Speaker 6: a ad to for the night instead of B And I'm like,
Speaker 6: oh man, I've gone.
Speaker 1: With be like or try to and be everything about that.
Speaker 6: I thought about that, but they didn't know each other
Speaker 6: as they weren't down. But you know, things like that,
Speaker 6: It's like, ah, man.
Speaker 4: Eddie, I still think about it. I mean, not starting
Speaker 4: a four to one came much, much, much earlier in
Speaker 4: my life. You don't even started one now.
Speaker 1: No, no, But for me, I think, why don't start?
Speaker 1: Start today? You feel like it's too late, it's not.
Speaker 8: Dude.
Speaker 4: If I would have started at twenty twenty one, oh
Speaker 4: my goodness, and ten years.
Speaker 1: You're going to go. I wish I would have started
Speaker 1: when he was forty five.
Speaker 2: Right, that's a good point.
Speaker 5: I started it a year ago when we started talking
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 1: You know what, I regret that too, Okay, I think
Speaker 1: mine is probably not. When my grandma was sick, I
Speaker 1: just thought she'd live forever, which is a dumb thing
Speaker 1: to think. But my grandma raised me and I was
Speaker 1: in college and it wasn't like an easy drive home,
Speaker 1: and I was like eh, and I did occasionally, but
Speaker 1: I just didn't do it enough. And so I regret
Speaker 1: that because when she got sick, she got sick, and
Speaker 1: then you know, she died pretty quick, and I had
Speaker 1: a It's crazy because I know we talked about this.
Speaker 1: I had a deal with my grandma and I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: when you die, you have to like and she was
Speaker 1: like way older. My mom was the youngest of like
Speaker 1: many many kids, and so my grandma was way older
Speaker 1: than like a normal grandma as well. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about it, like when you die, you
Speaker 1: have to like give me a sign that you're still
Speaker 1: out there. And I don't think she gave me a sign.
Speaker 1: What's up? Talk about it? No, I think the air
Speaker 1: conditioner came on and like her old guitar fell at
Speaker 1: some But I'm saying, you said, give me a sign.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but what are you saying that you would have been?
Speaker 5: You wish you would have been more specific?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish i'd have been, like, get make a
Speaker 1: musical instrument fall over when you die?
Speaker 5: I just that way you would know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that my regret there is that. Otherwise I
Speaker 1: most things that I'm not happy about what happened, I've
Speaker 1: learned great lessons from them. They've actually led to even
Speaker 1: better decisions that when I got to find a million
Speaker 1: bucks by the SEC, I learned nothing from that. So
Speaker 1: I wish that wouldn't have happened. But I can't really
Speaker 1: regret how I did it because I don't do anything
Speaker 1: wrong unless they're listening. Sorry finding that, but I regret
Speaker 1: that that happened. Yeah, regrets that happened. Next up, let's listen.
Speaker 1: If you're a SCC, you guys are cool. You guys
Speaker 1: are cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In line with that, I'll just hear something really quick
Speaker 3: that you know. My niece is living with right now.
Speaker 3: She's twenty one, and she wrote a high school paper
Speaker 3: on living without regret, and she based it off my mom,
Speaker 3: and she said that she learned that when my mom
Speaker 3: was dying. One of the things she said was that
Speaker 3: she didn't live out her dreams. And so I think
Speaker 3: that's a big regret, is sometimes not taking time to
Speaker 3: dream and then chase your dreams, whatever they are. But
Speaker 3: my mom just didn't take time to even dream for herself.
Speaker 1: And I promise everybody listening right now, you're gonna regret
Speaker 1: more things you didn't try, the more things you tried
Speaker 1: and failed and did wrong, right, because you're always gonna
Speaker 1: be like I wish I would at least tried this.
Speaker 1: I've screwed up a lot of things. I messed up
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I don't regret any of that
Speaker 1: stuff because at least I gave it a run. But
Speaker 1: I just would not not feel good about not trying it.
Speaker 1: The stuff you don't try, and stuff you're gonna hate
Speaker 1: that you didn't do, not the stuff you did wrong
Speaker 1: unless you murder. Oh yeah, that's a bad don't try that.
Speaker 3: That you can.
Speaker 1: People are reserving baby names within a friend group now,
Speaker 1: so people are like calling DIBs on baby names. You
Speaker 1: can't do that, well, I mean you can't. Well it's
Speaker 1: not legal, but yes, you can have an agreement and
Speaker 1: your friends. Weird people are talking about baby names and
Speaker 1: they claim them within a friend group if they want it,
Speaker 1: so another friend doesn't like undercut them with the name.
Speaker 5: But it isn't it like whoever has the baby.
Speaker 1: First, Well, then you get to it. But unless it's
Speaker 1: called it's like shotgun Drew, Okay, shotgun never really really works.
Speaker 1: Always over shot. It was only trouble with deciphering what
Speaker 1: the rules were as soon as you said you're going,
Speaker 1: or when you could see the car or when you
Speaker 1: could touch the car. Everybody different rules.
Speaker 4: A shotgun always you could always say it in here,
Speaker 4: you say shotgun.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter what you heard, did anybody else here?
Speaker 3: My kids still play it and I have to be
Speaker 3: the judge, like they'll be like mom, did you hear
Speaker 3: me say it first?
Speaker 5: And unfortunately have to be like, yeah, okay, she said
Speaker 5: it first.
Speaker 1: Shotgun is really one of the great things about being
Speaker 1: in an American Still around most people adhere to shotgun.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Paralyzed puppy walks again thanks to three D printed spine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was able to do. Arthur, a six month old cockapoo,
Speaker 1: was unable to move after his limbs became weak and collapsed.
Speaker 1: His owner rushed him to the vet. They did MRI scans.
Speaker 1: They discovered a part of a spine was not connected
Speaker 1: together properly, which can presses spinal cord. The dogs then
Speaker 1: had a four hour surgery. Surgeons placed a three D
Speaker 1: printed spinal screw and surgical cement into the spine and
Speaker 1: now it works and he's moving and they were able
Speaker 1: to just print this stuff out, say what they needed
Speaker 1: and got it.
Speaker 5: Love it.
Speaker 1: So the New York Posts Technology man is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Digital price tags are coming to Walmart. So here's why
Speaker 1: it's good. Here's why it's bad. Digital price tags are
Speaker 1: cool because let's say the price tag isn't on it
Speaker 1: for some reason, it get ripped off, or you can
Speaker 1: save in your phone. You can take a picture of
Speaker 1: it too. But why they're bad as people think they
Speaker 1: do dynamic pricing with them.
Speaker 5: What does that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Because the price tag, it's a QR code, right, So
Speaker 1: you put the QR code, you see how much of
Speaker 1: the things are. You can have a QR code on
Speaker 1: the tag. But what's what's up is if a bunch
Speaker 1: of them starts to sell, they could start to lift
Speaker 1: the price of them because it's not paper you're having
Speaker 1: to replace. It's literally, if we sell thirty two percent
Speaker 1: of them, let's mark it up five bucks.
Speaker 4: I wonder too if they know, like you're you're like,
Speaker 4: how much you have? This guy's rich mark it up?
Speaker 1: Oh hey, you know what I mean. Nothing would surprised
Speaker 1: me at this point. But that's a funny thought that
Speaker 1: they're also part of the Big Brother and looking at
Speaker 1: your bank account and pricing it based on who you are.
Speaker 3: It's like the minute your phone access level the QR code,
Speaker 3: they have access to your money and they're like.
Speaker 1: Or when you walk in, they automatically know who you
Speaker 1: are and what you have by like your facial scan.
Speaker 2: D Yeah, they followed you from the bank and they know.
Speaker 1: They didn't fight you from the bank. I just know
Speaker 1: your face. There's no physical on the Bobbycast Drew Baldridges
Speaker 1: on I'm telling you, I walked away from this going
Speaker 1: that I'm motivated and inspired by this dude. Here's a
Speaker 1: clip of his song She's Somebody's Daughter, She Somebody's doll.
Speaker 1: He put the song out over three years ago and
Speaker 1: his record label fell apart and that was it no more.
Speaker 1: But he puts it on TikTok and he not even
Speaker 1: a big TikToker, and it goes next morning, he wakes
Speaker 1: up and he's like, wait, what on our honeymoon?
Speaker 10: I posted TikTok And I just say, hey, if this
Speaker 10: gets three thousand likes, I'll put it out on Friday,
Speaker 10: you know, just trying to tease. It was Wednesday. I
Speaker 10: woke up Thursday and I had almost ten million views.
Speaker 10: Mind you. I'm like, I don't look all night because
Speaker 10: I haven't had a video do that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: I'm just thinking, like I'm gonna wake up the next day.
Speaker 10: Obviously I'm with my wife. It's our honeymoon. We're enjoying it.
Speaker 10: And I wake up and I look at her and
Speaker 10: I'm like wow. And I pulled up and my followers
Speaker 10: jump like one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: So he had this song from three years ago, but
Speaker 1: he's like, I'll put out a wedding version of it.
Speaker 1: He just got married, and so he gets ten million
Speaker 1: in a night, which is wild. Okay, so you're like, dang,
Speaker 1: look at that, blew up. Pretty cool story. So then
Speaker 1: he's like, no, no record label is going to sign him.
Speaker 1: They're like I don't know. So then it just starts
Speaker 1: going to everybody's backyard, like I'll play any backyard to
Speaker 1: make money in order to get his career going.
Speaker 10: Here's this clip I decided to post on Socials and
Speaker 10: I say I'll play anybody's backyard that wants.
Speaker 8: To have me.
Speaker 10: I'm broke, Yeah, I feel and so I thought I'd
Speaker 10: get like five requests, and so I get like twenty
Speaker 10: some thousand requests on TikTok. For two years, I go
Speaker 10: play three hundred people's backyard. Wow, just me and a guitar.
Speaker 1: Just take whatever money they gave you. Yeah.
Speaker 10: It started off that way of like hey, whatever you
Speaker 10: could give me, and then I was like this is
Speaker 10: what I need. Because there were some times I would
Speaker 10: lose on it and so I'd be like this is
Speaker 10: what I really need two or three grand, pay for
Speaker 10: mym my tour manager, and I will come play in
Speaker 10: your backyard for seventy five minutes, play corn, holy barbecue.
Speaker 1: He did that three hundred times all over the country.
Speaker 1: Took us a guitar and played in people's backyards so
Speaker 1: we could survive being uneasy.
Speaker 2: Now that's not a lot of days off man.
Speaker 1: So he then talked about how even now he has
Speaker 1: a song it's maybe in topting close to top ten,
Speaker 1: he has no record label, no management, no agent. He's
Speaker 1: having to finance everything himself.
Speaker 10: I had to put on a manager hat and be like, Okay,
Speaker 10: how do I get shows? How do I create income?
Speaker 10: And then I had to run a promo staff. I'm
Speaker 10: doing a calls every Monday, running a promo team, and
Speaker 10: then like shows coming in and booking that and booking
Speaker 10: in myself. And you know what's most exciting, Bobby is
Speaker 10: like being on this podcast with you, man is a
Speaker 10: really big deal and a dream of mine.
Speaker 1: I think I'm your biggest fan. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: it's I was blown away by the dude. That's so
Speaker 1: he's like buying radio commercials for a song. He's doing
Speaker 1: it all himself because he doesn't have a team, but
Speaker 1: it's all blown up and he's like, screw it, I'll
Speaker 1: go play backyards. I'll do it all myself. That's nobody else.
Speaker 5: Wants to help chasing dreams, but he just is a.
Speaker 1: Guy who was like, I'll figure out way to do
Speaker 1: it even if it's really hard. I'm gonna keep going
Speaker 1: until I absolutely can't. And he has now popped. Wow.
Speaker 1: Super cool. Check out the Bobby Cast. That entire interview

Speaker 1: the house. I really enjoyed that. I don't always enjoy him.
Speaker 7: I did too. It felt like a really intense therapy session.
Speaker 7: Part of that it was really great.
Speaker 1: I rarely don't enjoy them, but you know, with anything else,
Speaker 1: it'sd be like a show that you do if you're try.
Speaker 1: You don't hate doing shows, but some of them just
Speaker 1: fall in and you're just like, you just do a
Speaker 1: show and it was good and you move on. But
Speaker 1: I like, really enjoyed the time. I guess because I
Speaker 1: was a fan of you for a long, long long
Speaker 1: time and didn't know you. And some that can go
Speaker 1: either way when you meet somebody.
Speaker 7: Yeah, are they going to be you know, what you
Speaker 7: think they are or are they going to be just
Speaker 7: what they are? Yeah? Well, I enjoyed meeting you too.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a fan of yours and I have
Speaker 7: a radio show, and you tend to kind of want
Speaker 7: to listen to people and their conversational skills when they're
Speaker 7: interviewing people, and you're one of those people that I
Speaker 7: think a lot of artists are starting to dabble in
Speaker 7: radio now, you know.
Speaker 1: Podcasting radio, and yeah, yeah, but you're good at it.
Speaker 7: Well, thank you very much, but you're you know, there's

Speaker 7: about the record, we couldn't remember the publicity people were
Speaker 7: all like, no, they were giving us the whole win.
Speaker 1: I don't think that was weird. It was like, hey,
Speaker 1: Terry Clark's coming over, but she can't talk about anything, right,
Speaker 1: but we wonder talk about I wonder what we're going
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 7: We talked about childhood baggage instead.
Speaker 1: I So how I found out about your record is
Speaker 1: one of my best dear friends, Ben Rector. Oh, today
Speaker 1: I'm going to go record what Terry Clark? Do you
Speaker 1: know her? And at the time I didn't, And I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know her, but I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of her. Let me know how it goes. And he
Speaker 1: came back and he was like, she was delightful that
Speaker 1: that was his description of you. Delightful. So you got
Speaker 1: a lot of artists to come back and sing your
Speaker 1: big songs. How what's that problem? I don't know. How
Speaker 1: do you pick? Does everybody say yes? Sometimes? Does they
Speaker 1: not sing it exactly like you want?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 1: What is that process? Like?
Speaker 7: Well, I started with kind of a you know, a
Speaker 7: list of my wish list of people, and I called
Speaker 7: Ashley McBride first, and we've been friends since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 7: So she said yes and jumped on board. And I
Speaker 7: wanted her to do better things to do because it
Speaker 7: was the debut single and she had publicly talked about
Speaker 7: how much that debut album meant to her when she
Speaker 7: was a kid growing up in Arkansas, and how she
Speaker 7: you know, she felt like she was different than the
Speaker 7: rest of the girls. She was, you know, she was
Speaker 7: a tomboy, and she saw my image and really got
Speaker 7: into music in it and it helped her feel like
Speaker 7: she belonged, I guess. And so her singing on Better
Speaker 7: Things to Do was a natural fit to me. And
Speaker 7: then after Ashley agreed, you know, when you get one,
Speaker 7: it's kind of easier to start going, well, Ashley McBride's
Speaker 7: doing this, did you go to Landy Wilson's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 7: Ashley is, like, she is amazing, and she's so respected
Speaker 7: around town for her songwriting and her artistry especially, it's
Speaker 7: just amazing. So and then I love Landy Wilson for
Speaker 7: so many reasons. I love the fact that she's such
Speaker 7: an individual. You can recognize her by a silhouette. There
Speaker 7: aren't a lot of people that you know, you see
Speaker 7: their silhouette, you know the automatically who it is. Laney
Speaker 7: Wilson is one of those people. And I loved her music,
Speaker 7: and so I asked her. Everybody said, yes, there were
Speaker 7: only a couple There are only a couple of people
Speaker 7: that schedule had scheduling conflicts that couldn't do it. But
Speaker 7: Ben Rector, I've been a fan of. We talked about
Speaker 7: him last time and his immense talent. He's genius. You know,
Speaker 7: he's one of those almost prodigy type guys.
Speaker 1: It's annoying. Let's say it's annoying. Yes, he's so good.
Speaker 7: It's so annoying. We could have kept the first take
Speaker 7: on now that I found you and been and been
Speaker 7: fine with that. And he's just incredibly talented. And I
Speaker 7: was so happy to see him opening for Dan and
Speaker 7: Shay because he needs to be exposed to those huge audiences.
Speaker 7: My manager actually wasn't as familiar with Ben Rector until
Speaker 7: she went to their show and she texted me and
Speaker 7: she said, man, now I know why he's on your record.
Speaker 7: Why you wanted to get him on your record? She said,
Speaker 7: I wasn't that familiar with him, but I am a
Speaker 7: fan now, and that's that's he And he was so gracious, humble, kind,
Speaker 7: and added so much to that arrangement and track.
Speaker 1: The album is called Terry Clark Take Two. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read some of the other people on it, Lauren Laana,
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarks, and Cody Johnson. Ashley McBride, Carly Pierces, Been Rector,
Speaker 1: Laney Wilson, and Paul Brandt. Paul is from because our
Speaker 1: show's in Canada as well. Paul's a massive Canadian star.
Speaker 7: He is, yeah, and we you know, we'd never toured together,
Speaker 7: and it always made sense to me. That kind of
Speaker 7: a ticket always made sense to me. But he was
Speaker 7: always headlining, and then I was headlining, and then we
Speaker 7: both kind of gave the market a bit of a break.
Speaker 7: Paul is very very savvy businessman. He's very smart. He
Speaker 7: knows not to overplay Canada. There are only so many
Speaker 7: venues in Canada. We don't have the population, we don't
Speaker 7: have the venues that the United States does. And I'm
Speaker 7: lucky that I can bounce back and forth, you know,
Speaker 7: across the border and play both markets. But Paul's been
Speaker 7: really careful and protected that as an artist, and I
Speaker 7: really respect his business model in doing that. So when
Speaker 7: I went to him with this idea, I said, I
Speaker 7: had just a few years earlier done across Canada solo tour.
Speaker 7: I do a lot of solo shows. I just have
Speaker 7: guitars around me. I have a Ditto Looper, which is
Speaker 7: a little stomp box thing that you can create loops
Speaker 7: on and I have a porchboard which creates kind of
Speaker 7: a kick drum. So I do this one woman show
Speaker 7: and tell jokes and stories about songs and it was
Speaker 7: sold out across Canada and twenty six and so I
Speaker 7: went to him with the same concept in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 7: I said, we should do this together, like it just
Speaker 7: makes total sense and fans love that intimate type of setting.
Speaker 7: So we went out in October and November last year
Speaker 7: and did you know BC through Ontario and we're in
Speaker 7: talks about possibly doing another run. But it's uh, that's cool. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that that take of Easy on the Eyes was live
Speaker 7: in Toronto. We didn't go in and fix any vocal things,
Speaker 7: we didn't go tweak a whole lot. We added bass
Speaker 7: and drums in the studio when I was in tracking
Speaker 7: the last four for take two, just to give it
Speaker 7: a little lyft. But what you what you see, is
Speaker 7: what you hear, is what you get. And it was
Speaker 7: fun to be able to have a live track on
Speaker 7: there and have my friend Paul be doing it with
Speaker 7: me as a duet.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a sensitive to ask, but
Speaker 1: there was a story about Playboy asking to be in
Speaker 1: the magazine, but then they asked you to be fully clothed,
Speaker 1: and then they then you said no to all. Is
Speaker 1: that accurate?
Speaker 7: No, okay, there's no way Playboy is going to pay
Speaker 7: me money to be fully clothed, and they're not gonna
Speaker 7: pay me anything these days. But this is about twenty
Speaker 7: years ago, I would say, and it's so stupid that
Speaker 7: you know what female country singer would you like to
Speaker 7: see pose for Playboy? And I came in. I don't
Speaker 7: remember who was first and who was second, but me
Speaker 7: and Shania Twain, who could not be more polar opposite
Speaker 7: twenty years ago, especially, came in top two. I don't
Speaker 7: understand why. So they came to me and offered me,
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna say a million dollars twenty years ago, which.
Speaker 5: Is more like three right now because of inflation.
Speaker 7: And then my manager, Clarence, I said, there's no way
Speaker 7: I'm posing like meet and greets can get weird enough
Speaker 7: as it is.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine you imagine they bring that.
Speaker 7: Man? And then so Clarence, this is the funniest story. Marnie,
Speaker 7: my day to day manager at the time, walked into
Speaker 7: my manager, Clarence Spaulding's office, and she had an intern
Speaker 7: with with her, and the intern looked at his desk
Speaker 7: and he was researching. He had Playboy magazines all over
Speaker 7: his desk. Who am I going to work for? But
Speaker 7: he called me and he says, well, they said you
Speaker 7: can just show you can go topless for like this
Speaker 7: amount of money, the whole the full Monty, you get
Speaker 7: the full million. So he's negotiating body parts to post
Speaker 7: for Playboy, and I just said, Clarence, you know that
Speaker 7: all sounds like if I wanted a money grab, I
Speaker 7: would have done it. But I was just like, I can't.
Speaker 7: I just can't. I have too many young girls that
Speaker 7: are looking up to me, and I've always been pretty
Speaker 7: buttoned up. I'm not one of these people who's I'm
Speaker 7: very modest about my body and I don't like to
Speaker 7: show all anyway. And I said, this would go against
Speaker 7: every single thing I stand for being a strong woman.
Speaker 7: What's between your ears is more important than what's between
Speaker 7: everything else. So I said no, And I really glad
Speaker 7: I made that decision and didn't let greed or the
Speaker 7: dollars you know, get in mine. And at the time,
Speaker 7: you know, I was. I was still trying to save
Speaker 7: and you know, I didn't know when I was going
Speaker 7: to have another hit. I always treated my last hit
Speaker 7: like it was going to be my last hit. So
Speaker 7: I've always been pretty frugal with money and things like that.
Speaker 7: So you know, if that's all that I had in
Speaker 7: my crosshairs, I would have gone for it. But I
Speaker 7: had there was such a bigger picture in playing the
Speaker 7: tape forward in that scenario, and not even six months later,
Speaker 7: I was asked to become a member of the Opry,
Speaker 7: and I don't know.
Speaker 1: That that by would happened, right, Yeah, Yeah, I saw
Speaker 1: on Instagram you gave Lanny like an old school like
Speaker 1: a vintage Terry Clark shirt. Yeah, which is super cool.
Speaker 1: Do you have Ronnie don and Irag friends and he
Speaker 1: talks about how they have all this old stuff and
Speaker 1: Kicks got a lot of it, and he's kind of
Speaker 1: He's like, I gave it all to Kick when we split,
Speaker 1: So Kicks like in the early divorce because they're back together,
Speaker 1: her Kicks got a bunch of the merch. He's like,
Speaker 1: it was the dumbest thing is merch? Is that vintage
Speaker 1: merch so valuable? Do you have a lot of your
Speaker 1: old school merch or just like a couple of things.
Speaker 7: I have a couple of things because I've given all
Speaker 7: my T shirts to the artists on take two, I
Speaker 7: walked into the I've walked into the session with a
Speaker 7: T shirt. And you know, my mom, you know, God
Speaker 7: bless her, would keep a lot of that old stuff.
Speaker 7: And I even had stuff from the very first tour
Speaker 7: of ninety five for a long time. And I happen
Speaker 7: to be a mover. I tend to move a lot
Speaker 7: and change the scenery around me. I buy houses and
Speaker 7: I've got a bit of an eye for design and renovation,
Speaker 7: so I seem to be kind of addicted to make,
Speaker 7: you know, making a house really really cool and then
Speaker 7: leaving it and going to doing it.
Speaker 5: For another one.
Speaker 7: So I've lost a few of those those little gems
Speaker 7: and moves, I think. And I may move again and
Speaker 7: end up, you know, finding some stuff in a bin
Speaker 7: that I don't know about, but I probably have, like
Speaker 7: you know, ten left.
Speaker 1: Now do you ever look on eBay and see what
Speaker 1: the old stuff of yours is going for?
Speaker 7: No, I don't. I have no idea. Okay, that's like
Speaker 7: it's not going to be what you think. Let's see, Oh, Bobby.
Speaker 1: Terry Clark vintage T shirt forty two dollars. Oh, no chance,
Speaker 1: no chance.
Speaker 5: Well will Bobby's loading that up?
Speaker 3: Do you know where that intern is that was assigned
Speaker 3: to my hiy boy magazines for you?
Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't And Marnie's here, who brought
Speaker 7: her in? I don't know where she is she. I
Speaker 7: don't know if she actually left because of that. I
Speaker 7: don't know she just can you imagine?
Speaker 1: I have your answer here. The cheapest one that's actually
Speaker 1: vintage from the nineties. The cheapest one is eighty dollars.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, Well you know I'm going to keep.
Speaker 1: Them vintage Terry Clark's shirt, poor pitif for me, nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1: This one's extra large, ninety one dollars. Wow, it's this one.
Speaker 7: Too, the one I gave Lanny probably remember that one. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that's the one I gave Lanny Wilson. And I don't
Speaker 7: know if I have I don't have any more of those.
Speaker 7: That was the only one I had in the bin,
Speaker 7: and she had to pin it.
Speaker 1: It was like a dress on by it. Now I'm
Speaker 1: buying I'm literally buying it right now. You are not set.
Speaker 1: I am last one and I don't. We're actual arts
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have it. You can. You can get
Speaker 1: it all like a dress, okay, and it has been
Speaker 1: paid for. Boom, Oh you're so sweet. Why did you didn't?
Speaker 7: No, I didn't make any money. I don't make any
Speaker 7: money off it now. It's merch is a promotion tool.
Speaker 7: By the time you pay everybody their commissions, pay for
Speaker 7: the merch, and pay the taxes, you're you have about
Speaker 7: three dollars left.
Speaker 1: Did you say you don't you go to McDonald's so
Speaker 1: you don't pay taxes. I do, totally kidding totting the auditor.
Speaker 8: Do you.
Speaker 1: What do you consider your big break? If you had
Speaker 1: to identify one moment and someone said, Terry, what's your
Speaker 1: big break? Microphone in your face?
Speaker 7: When I went and auditioned for Mercury Records.
Speaker 1: How did you get the audition?
Speaker 7: Well, that's it's such a long story. I had a
Speaker 7: demo tape floating around town when I was playing at Tootsi's.
Speaker 7: A producer from a Popka, Florida who did a lot
Speaker 7: of production for Disney and Epcot Center Big productions on
Speaker 7: this thing called a sincleavier. It's a keyboard that has
Speaker 7: that can mimic drums based any kind of instrument you want.
Speaker 7: And he had this studio at his house in Florida.
Speaker 7: He walked in looking for a burger and I was
Speaker 7: playing at Tootsi's in the in the front, you know,
Speaker 7: on the stage where it's now a VIP booth. That's
Speaker 7: where my stage was. And he sat down and listened
Speaker 7: to me for two hours and then said, I'd like to,
Speaker 7: you know, make a demo tape on you and try
Speaker 7: and get your record deal. So long story short, I
Speaker 7: go to Florida for like a month and stay in
Speaker 7: his basement and he had a son the same age.
Speaker 7: We won't get into that, but.
Speaker 1: Is there any part of you though that's like, this
Speaker 1: guy's watching me for two hours and it's like this
Speaker 1: is weird.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well he was. He was observing I guess the.
Speaker 1: I see why. I mean, But I still as a
Speaker 1: creature in its natural habitat, and he wants me to
Speaker 1: stay at his house, Like a little bit of me
Speaker 1: would be like, I don't know if I should do this.
Speaker 7: I think my mom obviously checked it out and interviewed
Speaker 7: him and made sure that I wasn't gonna end up
Speaker 7: chopped up in pieces somewhere, and so I did that,
Speaker 7: and we made this demo tape and and he took
Speaker 7: it to a few people in Nashville shopped it around.
Speaker 7: I wound up with a manager named Woody Bowles through
Speaker 7: and we kind of, you know, the demo was okay.
Speaker 7: It was very manufactured sounding, but it caught the attention
Speaker 7: of a guy named Brian Kennedy who had a spec
Speaker 7: deal with MCA Publishing where he could bring artists in
Speaker 7: and make demos like demo Masters. So he got ten
Speaker 7: thousand dollars and he called me and wanted to take
Speaker 7: me in, and he became one of my very good
Speaker 7: friends in town. And he's also really tight with Garth
Speaker 7: Brooks and and Tricia and that whole camp still is.
Speaker 7: I think he works for Garth now, but he his
Speaker 7: dad was Jerry Kennedy, who produced all the early REBA
Speaker 7: stuff that so I was like, oh my god, Kennedy,
Speaker 7: Not those Kennedy's, These the Kennedys of Nashville. So we
Speaker 7: went in and we cut I think four sides, and
Speaker 7: Vince Gill came and sang on one, and Carl Jackson
Speaker 7: played guitar and oh god, we had just amazing players
Speaker 7: on this. It was super country. Keith Stegall ends up
Speaker 7: hearing this demo like three years after we did it.
Speaker 7: It floated around town. Carl Jackson played it for a
Speaker 7: few people, and so long story short long, he called
Speaker 7: me to come play live for him, and he had
Speaker 7: so much going on at the time. He said, I
Speaker 7: want to work with you so bad, but I got
Speaker 7: all these other people. I'm trying to wrap some projects up,
Speaker 7: and I thought that's just a no. Right six months later,
Speaker 7: Woody calls me and says, Keith Stegall's just been promoted
Speaker 7: to the head of an R at Mercury Records, or
Speaker 7: hired as the head of an R at Mercury Records,
Speaker 7: and he wants you to come in and sing for
Speaker 7: Luke Lewis. And I had thought he'd forgotten about me.
Speaker 7: So I went in with my guitar, sat in the
Speaker 7: boardroom in front of him and Luke and wood He
Speaker 7: was there, and I wore the most god awful Mobeta shirt.
Speaker 7: It looked like somebody threw up on it. It was
Speaker 7: you know, in the nineties, the Brooks and dun Garth
Speaker 7: Brooks shirts. I still got the shirt and they called
Speaker 7: me the name Stay and offered me a record deal.
Speaker 7: And this is after I had already been in talks
Speaker 7: with Sony Music because I was a Sony Tree writer
Speaker 7: at the time, and Paul Worley had gone over to
Speaker 7: Sony and he had a full roster of females, so
Speaker 7: he couldn't do it. And so they offered me a
Speaker 7: full fledged record deal, and I just I couldn't believe
Speaker 7: it was finally happening. And it was eight years after
Speaker 7: I moved to town. It was a long process.
Speaker 1: What I hear, and I think what everybody should hear,
Speaker 1: is your big break was actually you grinding it out,
Speaker 1: taking advantage of a very small break, turning that with
Speaker 1: your work, ethic and talent into a mid break. You
Speaker 1: stayed focused, somebody happened like you were prepared when the
Speaker 1: opportunity hit. Then it wasn't like here's a platter and
Speaker 1: here's your life. You now get to have a record deal.
Speaker 1: It was like you worked hard and took one small
Speaker 1: thing and that just kept leading to another to another,
Speaker 1: and then before you know it, you're an overnight success.
Speaker 7: Well, it was such a heartbreaking process. Because I went
Speaker 7: and sang for Curb Records and Electro record and Sony,
Speaker 7: you know, and and they all showed interest in you know,
Speaker 7: I even had one of them tell Woodie she's probably
Speaker 7: the most powerful country singer, female country singer I've heard
Speaker 7: in a really, really long time. But it's not what
Speaker 7: we're looking for. And there were a lot of tears.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: I'd go home and my husband at the time and
Speaker 7: I would, you know, just be like, what's it going
Speaker 7: to you know, one heartbreak after another. But every door
Speaker 7: that closed, another one open. And there was always like
Speaker 7: that carrot dangling that kept me focused, and I just
Speaker 7: something inside told me not to give up. That the
Speaker 7: right opportunity was going to come along. And when Luke
Speaker 7: and Keith signed me, that was the right place for
Speaker 7: me to be. And Keith was Alan Jackson's producer Randy
Speaker 7: Travis like he he got the country thing. He wasn't
Speaker 7: trying to turn me into something else. He signed me
Speaker 7: because of that, and you know, I really appreciated the
Speaker 7: artistic freedom they gave me, especially on my fourth album
Speaker 7: that was not as mainstream. They were really great. They
Speaker 7: were a great label for me to be on, and
Speaker 7: that worked out the way it was supposed to. I
Speaker 7: just had to wait a little while.
Speaker 1: Do you ever perform not in a cowboy hat? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I have. Yeah, there are when I do solo shows
Speaker 7: there there is mostly for those ones. Sometimes I'll kind
Speaker 7: of wear it for half the show. But you know,
Speaker 7: I realized it's such a trademark that that I really
Speaker 7: don't take a cowboy hat. I do a rock encore
Speaker 7: in my show. I do a rock medley of you know,
Speaker 7: pop and rock songs, and I'll take it off for
Speaker 7: that and and just just for something a little bit different,
Speaker 7: but then I put it right back on.
Speaker 1: Have you had to sign thousands of cowboy hats? Oh? Gosh, yeah,
Speaker 1: probably the number one thing.
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely a lot of cowboy hats. And I hate
Speaker 7: those ones that are those really cheap ones that that
Speaker 7: that look like they've been woven. They're hard to they're
Speaker 7: hard to sign, they got holes in them. Real hat.
Speaker 1: And I learned John Parties a friend of mine, and he,
Speaker 1: you know, has given me cowboy hats. I'm not a
Speaker 1: cowboy hat guy, but he's like, you wear like a
Speaker 1: felt I could be wrong, like a felt hat in
Speaker 1: the winter, and definitely a straw type hat in the summer.
Speaker 1: Do you do that o real day?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Like the white like you can't wear white?
Speaker 1: You can't wear So do you have different kinds of
Speaker 1: hats depending on the weather?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I usually switched to straw, you know, June first
Speaker 7: or right after Memorial Days. It's the thing to do.
Speaker 7: And yeah, And I honestly was wearing straw hats because
Speaker 7: I had a bit of a deal with a hat
Speaker 7: company for a while, and they didn't really make great
Speaker 7: felt hats, So I wore straw hats for a good
Speaker 7: ten years all the time. And then when that deal
Speaker 7: was over, I'm like, I'm going right back to the
Speaker 7: whole Texas Cattleman's crown cowboy hat, and I'm gonna do
Speaker 7: it the right way, you know, felt in the winter
Speaker 7: and fall and straw in the summer.
Speaker 1: Two more hat questions because I just thought about them.
Speaker 1: Your hat has been in a specific way. It's very much
Speaker 1: your shape. Yeah, who does that?
Speaker 7: I do it?
Speaker 1: And how do you do it? Do you have like
Speaker 1: a mold now that's just the tarry mold, and you
Speaker 1: put it in.
Speaker 7: The hat steamer. You use the steamer and and you
Speaker 7: can shape a hat the way you want. In fact,
Speaker 7: this is a funny story. I had to go get
Speaker 7: a hat for a photo shoot and I was in
Speaker 7: the middle of another move, so all of my felt
Speaker 7: hats were in storage. So I went down town to
Speaker 7: I think it's a boot Country down on a lower
Speaker 7: Broadway to get a felt hat. And I walked in
Speaker 7: and bought the hat and they wouldn't let me shape it.
Speaker 7: They said, it's just we have to do it, and
Speaker 7: I said, oh God please. So funny thing is, I
Speaker 7: used to work at boot Country in Hendersonville before I
Speaker 7: got a record deal, and the same guy owns the
Speaker 7: whole chain. So I said, can you call ed Smith
Speaker 7: and telling him his former employee with like the shape
Speaker 7: her own hat got him right, so they did. They said, well,
Speaker 7: let just let her do it. They made the exception
Speaker 7: it's an insurance thing. The steamer can burn you or
Speaker 7: something like that. So because I was going right from
Speaker 7: the store to the photo shoot, I didn't have time
Speaker 7: to go home and do it. But that's how you
Speaker 7: shape them. You use a steamer and it makes them
Speaker 7: soft and you can shape them. But yeah, I do
Speaker 7: kind of have my own shape. I never just wear
Speaker 7: a hat the way it is off the shelf.
Speaker 1: If you don't wear a hat, well, there were people
Speaker 1: that don't recognize you that should that, you know, because
Speaker 1: I've not worn my glasses, and executives past me didn't
Speaker 1: even know it was me.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, it's definitely your glasses are your trademark. You know.
Speaker 7: People you could somebody could draw a caricature of you
Speaker 7: with with your life, they'd know it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Or Harry Carey one of the two. All right,
Speaker 1: carrect Okay, so look, we're gonna play some stuff from
Speaker 1: your record, and you're just so fun to talk to you.
Speaker 1: So let me say this. She's doing She has like
Speaker 1: twenty dates left this year. The record is out, Terry
Speaker 1: Clark Take two. I think we'll play the Ashley Better
Speaker 1: Things to Do in its entirety. Okay, I like I
Speaker 1: like this one a lot too, because I like both
Speaker 1: of you, and I think this is the song I
Speaker 1: think about. Is this most people's number one song with you?
Speaker 7: I would say it's the number one streamer, But the
Speaker 7: Cody Johnson Kelly Clarkson duets on Take two are blowing
Speaker 7: up stream Wark. They're doing really well.
Speaker 1: I guess I mean just in general with your songs.
Speaker 7: My songs. Yeah, that's the one I think most people
Speaker 7: identify me with. Yeah, it was the first one. It
Speaker 7: was you know, that whole pan from my boots all
Speaker 7: the way up, you know, and I'm this super skinny
Speaker 7: twenty six year old girl. That's the thing. Remember And
Speaker 7: the T shirt sleeves rolled up in the hat with
Speaker 7: the electric guitar. That was the very it was a
Speaker 7: very uh it was it was. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 7: very defining moment in your show. Yes, I play it last,
Speaker 7: and the audience gets to sing and it's a big
Speaker 7: party and it's it's so much fun. And we're doing
Speaker 7: the new the new arrangement from the new record. Actually
Speaker 7: on that one, it's not that different, so I don't
Speaker 7: even know if nobody notices it. But it's fun for
Speaker 7: the band, you know, I'm going I'm playing electric on
Speaker 7: it now and I used to play acoustic, and we uh,
Speaker 7: we're enjoying playing some fresh takes on these.
Speaker 1: The melodies are the same, though, r because the worst
Speaker 1: thing is when you go watch an artist and it's like,
Speaker 1: here's a song that was a hit for me, but
Speaker 1: I'm now going to do it operatic style.
Speaker 7: No yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I think you
Speaker 7: the customer is always right, and they're they're buying a
Speaker 7: ticket to hear something that they can sing along to.
Speaker 7: Don't mess with the business. That is the business. You
Speaker 7: don't mess with. And I'm not going I'm not going
Speaker 7: to go see James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac or somebody or
Speaker 7: Bonnie Rate and want to hear something and completely off
Speaker 7: the wall of a song that I love so much,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 1: Or a whole lot of new stuff. I'm good with
Speaker 1: a couple of news.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I don't want.
Speaker 1: I don't want a whole show on news.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I I you know, I even play like,
Speaker 7: if I need more content in my show, I'll play
Speaker 7: some stuff that were hits in Canada that but but
Speaker 7: weren't here. But I'll also, you know, I'll also play
Speaker 7: songs that maybe weren't huge hits here, but were singles
Speaker 7: like dirty Girl and three Mississippi.
Speaker 1: And I don't even mind new stuff, but as long
Speaker 1: as like five in a row.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, I think it's I think it's important
Speaker 7: for artists to stick to a roadmap as it hits
Speaker 7: in their show because that's what people really want to
Speaker 7: and nineties countries kind of this thing now that people
Speaker 7: have really gone back to and are digging deeper. And
Speaker 7: you know, some of them may have heard your songs
Speaker 7: for the very first time listening to a playlist, and
Speaker 7: they're gonna show up and buy a ticket to your
Speaker 7: show and it's gonna sound completely different. Yeah no, that
Speaker 7: would suck.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now it's our straight to talk wireless question, Terry
Speaker 1: to stay grounded. Who tells it to you straight?
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you that my manager, Clarence is no
Speaker 7: bs at all, like he is very very honest, and
Speaker 7: he will give me the real story. And I think
Speaker 7: that's really important. My mom, when she was alive, was
Speaker 7: definitely that person. And I've got friends that I ate
Speaker 7: dirt with in my life that have been around for
Speaker 7: forty years who are very very honest with me. You know,
Speaker 7: I have I have some and music fans in general
Speaker 7: and see artists and ask questions about the industry. But
Speaker 7: that I can lean on for you know, when you
Speaker 7: go to a show or Okay, if somebody really iconic,
Speaker 7: not me, I'm talking about a James Taylor or somebody,
Speaker 7: it makes a new record, Are you excited about that? No, okay,
Speaker 7: like it's sort of that. It's that honesty, like do
Speaker 7: I make another record of new music or not, I
Speaker 7: don't know if I do it, I'm doing it for me. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do it because it's something I really want
Speaker 7: to do without any kind of expectation of an outcome,
Speaker 7: because it's the only reason to do that stuff now.
Speaker 7: But you know, I do talk to my friends. I
Speaker 7: have people in my life that are very honest and
Speaker 7: always will be and people who's, you know, opinions I
Speaker 7: really respect.
Speaker 1: I have found that the people that I care about
Speaker 1: that will tell me when something's not good are the
Speaker 1: people that I care about when they tell me something
Speaker 1: is good, because it's anybody. You know, people say all
Speaker 1: kinds of good stuff to you if things are going
Speaker 1: well for you because they want to be around they
Speaker 1: run the success, right, So it's really I only take
Speaker 1: good from the people that I care about, and we'll
Speaker 1: hear bad from it.
Speaker 7: It's well, it's amazing who I'm hearing from, you know,
Speaker 7: who's texting me because now I'm talking about this project
Speaker 7: and I'm a little more in the forefront as far
Speaker 7: as you know, doing some interviews and press and stuff.
Speaker 7: And it's like, oh, look who just texted me? Right,
Speaker 7: It's just you know, you have to take take it
Speaker 7: as it comes.
Speaker 1: And I try not to take criticism from anybody. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't take advice from.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, because that's right.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to offer criticism out of nowhere.
Speaker 7: Everybody's an armchair expert, you know, and and thinks they know.
Speaker 7: You know, there was somebody who the comments on the
Speaker 7: new record have been all so positive and so great,
Speaker 7: and everybody's loving it. But you know, there's always a
Speaker 7: couple and one person was like, uh, why does your
Speaker 7: voice sound like it's in a wind tunnel. It's compression, right,
Speaker 7: But people who aren't engineers, engineers mix records now with
Speaker 7: different effects because you know how most people listen to
Speaker 7: music through their iPhone speaker, Like a lot of people
Speaker 7: just run around listening to stuff through.
Speaker 1: And there are engineers.
Speaker 7: They have to almost like the volume has to be different,
Speaker 7: like it's a whole different it's a whole different world now.
Speaker 1: Terry Clark Take two with music from obviously all Terry songs,
Speaker 1: but Laura Alaina, Paul Brant, Kelly Clarks and Cody Johnson,
Speaker 1: Ashley McBride Carly Pierre spin rector Laney Wilson also go
Speaker 1: to Terry Clark dot com. A bunch of shows all
Speaker 1: the way through twenty twenty. You have a show in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five on the list, I.
Speaker 7: Know, And there's a whole bunch of shows that I
Speaker 7: have that we haven't announced yet that are coming up
Speaker 7: this winter, and we're adding stuff all the time, so
Speaker 7: we're all in all, we're probably going to be at
Speaker 7: seventy five shows for the year by the time we're done,
Speaker 7: which is a really good year.
Speaker 1: Final final question. I washed dishes for about a year
Speaker 1: and a half. Is I did too? It's a terrible job.
Speaker 7: I washed dishes.
Speaker 1: It's terrible. I watched the restaurant's a terrible job. I
Speaker 1: had to work out of that to be a bus boy.
Speaker 1: But and I am not somebody who likes gross. I
Speaker 1: don't do well with gross. But I washed dishes.
Speaker 7: You don't do well with gross?
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 1: And that's the grossest job, especially if you don't have
Speaker 1: a good wait staff that's helping you, at least on
Speaker 1: the front side cleaning like scraping the plate.
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 7: It is horrendous. Did you have the big Sprayer. Yes, yes,
Speaker 7: I did that in high school for my high school job.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What did you learn from washing dishes?
Speaker 7: That people are gross?
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly and I try to not be so gross
Speaker 1: because of that. Yes, Sarah Gross. Terry Clark, great to
Speaker 1: see you. You're one of my favorites. Now, you're one
Speaker 1: of my favorites. And I didn't know you, but now
Speaker 1: that I know you, like, you're one of my favorites.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Bobby, You're You're absolutely one of my favorites.
Speaker 7: Maybe the favorite interview ever that I've gotten to be
Speaker 7: a part of today. It's not we'gotten, no, I mean
Speaker 7: I really enjoy talking to you, Like I would sit
Speaker 7: and have dinner with you and we could have some
Speaker 7: really like, you know, off the record conversations that would
Speaker 7: be I think, really meaningful. So I like getting that
Speaker 7: feeling from somebody I'm talking to and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll seecretly recorded and bring it on the next day,
Speaker 1: but it would be good, though, Terry Clark. Everybody, here's
Speaker 1: a voicemail from Stephanie and Sacramento.
Speaker 8: What do you do if your dog or pet hurts
Speaker 8: an animal? So today, Michelden retriever caught a bird and
Speaker 8: it didn't die, and it was injured and could not fly.
Speaker 8: I put it in a box with some paper towels,
Speaker 8: and I called a local wildlife rescue that has a
Speaker 8: bird nursery, and I took it in and sadly, both
Speaker 8: of its legs are broken and it's not going to
Speaker 8: make it.
Speaker 4: If this happens again, what should I do?
Speaker 5: What's the right thing to do?
Speaker 1: What would you do?
Speaker 8: Leave it out for nature to take its course, or
Speaker 8: did I do the right thing?
Speaker 11: Or what would you guys do?
Speaker 5: I'm curious?
Speaker 8: Thanks so much, love the show.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a wrong thing to do here.
Speaker 1: I think if you're from the country, you shoot it.
Speaker 1: If you have a gun, you put it out of
Speaker 1: his misery from the country, country. If you are from
Speaker 1: the city, or like, why is a bird here? This
Speaker 1: is the city? You're just confused, right, Yeah, there are
Speaker 1: so many diseases on wild animals. I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: touching it. That sucks. But I think if you if
Speaker 1: you're Arkansas Keith, my stepdad, you probably shoot it. But
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a wrong answer here. YEA sounds
Speaker 1: like what she did was you had a good heart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: big heart, totally the right thing for what needed to
Speaker 1: be done. You could stomp it. Oh no, you could
Speaker 1: stop its head.
Speaker 5: No, that's that's traumatic for me.
Speaker 1: No, No, I hear you. You could. I'm saying, if
Speaker 1: you don't have a gun, you you could. How I
Speaker 1: grew up. If an animal there's no bouncy back, you
Speaker 1: put out of its misery as fast as possible? Shouble,
Speaker 1: Can you let the dog finish it off? You can't.
Speaker 1: But the problem with that is I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. Then the dogs I got it in the
Speaker 1: holl the dog you don't want to do. Not feel
Speaker 1: bad about this. This is my point. You did nothing
Speaker 1: wrong here. Do not feel bad about it. That's a
Speaker 1: terrible situation. You have a big heart, and I think
Speaker 1: any of the options would have been big heart. It
Speaker 1: stinks I have to kill an animal like that.
Speaker 3: I have to answer her specific question about it. If
Speaker 3: she should what she should do the next time it happens.
Speaker 3: If it happens, do exactly that again.
Speaker 5: The dog. The bird may live and may be totally fine.
Speaker 1: And okay, who's going to take care of a bird
Speaker 1: with two broken legs?
Speaker 5: It can't function but bird sanctuary.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, big heart, love it all right?
Speaker 1: Play the next one please.
Speaker 11: Good morning studio.
Speaker 1: This question goes out to lunch box.
Speaker 11: So I have a dating question for you. Actually, I've
Speaker 11: been seeing this girl write for almost a month now,
Speaker 11: and you know, we're getting to the point where instead
Speaker 11: of just like go on the specific dates, we're kind
Speaker 11: of just hanging out. Now I've been on more than
Speaker 11: like seven days by now. But anyways, I have the
Speaker 11: questions right, So I'm starting to thinking about this first
Speaker 11: kiss with her. I'm wondering, do I go fool out,
Speaker 11: make on sesh, you know, just make out with her,
Speaker 11: you know, come bare or you know? Are you going
Speaker 11: to go for a little peck on the list and
Speaker 11: let her be much about figured you'd be Ananda tummy.
Speaker 1: So you tell me what I should do and I'll
Speaker 1: do it. What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: You've been hanging out for a month and you haven't
Speaker 2: French kissed her.
Speaker 1: You have been gone days, he said, more than seven.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. You gotta go full on tongue all up
Speaker 2: in her mouth.
Speaker 1: When would you have gone full on to a tongue
Speaker 1: up in her mouth?
Speaker 2: Probably first night yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you have to go full on tongue up in
Speaker 1: her mouth before you ever knew their name?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Oh oh yeah, I still I mean I can still
Speaker 6: name some of the girls, like what they're wearing. Don't
Speaker 6: know their name, but you know what's wearing, yeah, green dress,
Speaker 6: because she was in my phone as green dress.
Speaker 1: No idea, is she still in your phone as green dress?
Speaker 1: Did you ever clear all of them out? Like did
Speaker 1: you in check?
Speaker 6: Because I you know, I wonder if like if they
Speaker 6: get rid of their phone number, does it like delete
Speaker 6: from my phone.
Speaker 1: Now she just calls whomever answers. Now, would you ever
Speaker 1: how to ask this?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: Gently? Would you ever do more with that? Knowing their name?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's not in there for some reason Green dress.
Speaker 6: No, maybe it didn't transfer over when I got an
Speaker 6: iPhone because I used to have a flip phone back
Speaker 6: in those days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course green dressing the flip phone day's
Speaker 1: flip phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no, Yeah, there's definitely girls I did more
Speaker 2: with it. I didn't even know their name.
Speaker 1: They were just hot.
Speaker 6: Do you think they knew your name? Oh for sure,
Speaker 6: probably for sure. Probably did they know it as lunchbox? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: there was no real name given, no need for that.
Speaker 1: Is that why they hooked up with you?
Speaker 6: Probably is that I was good looking, thought I was funny,
Speaker 6: thought I was entertaining, and yeah, being a celebrity it helps.
Speaker 5: No, he knew you. I always thought those girls were
Speaker 5: trying to get to you.
Speaker 1: You thought they come to my house. Wow, he's like
Speaker 1: the opening band. I don't want to be on that stage.
Speaker 1: I'm off that venue and the no bill I'm not there. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's I never thought that was the case.
Speaker 1: If you weren't lunchbox and whatever that means, could you
Speaker 1: still got these girls? Yes?
Speaker 2: I got skills, all right?
Speaker 1: Okay, Okayay, So your advice to this person is oh,
Speaker 1: full on tongue and I mean, dude, you have I
Speaker 1: don't know why you waited seven days.
Speaker 2: This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: No, No, everybody goes at their own pace. It totally fine.
Speaker 1: I hear you. But this pace is even for me.
Speaker 2: Seven dates.
Speaker 1: That's like she thinks you're her buddy at this point.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we're just pals. Okay. A lot is defined
Speaker 1: in the first couple to three. That's good luck, though.
Speaker 5: Man, some people don't even give still their wedding.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not sure.
Speaker 2: Who does?
Speaker 1: Like three people who like that's a new story when
Speaker 1: it happens, because that never happens. Thank you. You guys
Speaker 1: can call us anytime. Eight seven, seven seventy seven Bobby.
Speaker 5: Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 6: This story comes us from Pennsylvania. Eight twenty two year
Speaker 6: old man was going to visit his buddy in jail,
Speaker 6: and his buddy's like, hey, I need you to bring
Speaker 6: me a gun. He's like, man, I don't know if
Speaker 6: I can get the gun in, but I'll do my best.
Speaker 6: So he hid the gun in his shoe walk. Then
Speaker 6: beppeep metal detector goes off. He goes, oh, must be
Speaker 6: my nose ring, takes out the nose ring, tries to
Speaker 6: go through the metal detector again, beppppepep, and they.
Speaker 2: Do his search and they finally gun like, eventually.
Speaker 1: They're gonna find whatever that metal is. Right, did he
Speaker 1: think if he took his nose ring out they would
Speaker 1: be like, that must be it. You're good to go,
Speaker 1: no need to go back through. We found it. I
Speaker 1: wonder if he said, like, uh, I guess it wasn't
Speaker 1: the nose ring. He's confused. I wonder what they'll find
Speaker 1: this time. You know, that's when you could run. You
Speaker 1: get out of there. All right, thank you, I'm munch Box.
Speaker 2: That's your Boneheads story of the day. All right.
Speaker 1: I think we all can agree that tipping culture is
Speaker 1: it's a bit out of control. Oh yeah, but you
Speaker 1: don't have to tip in some places where they're like
Speaker 1: you did this, You can't tip. Some places you probably
Speaker 1: should tip, but it's all on a who you are,
Speaker 1: what you believe.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 1: But yes, there are too many tip lines. I will
Speaker 1: even agree with that. And I'm someone who feels like
Speaker 1: I need to tip everywhere because I people will tip
Speaker 1: me with all my jobs going up, Morgan, what is
Speaker 1: your question? So I went to a.
Speaker 12: Restaurant and they automatically had the gratuity included.
Speaker 7: This is just a two top.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a big group or anything, and it was
Speaker 1: a twenty two people. They automatically Wow, it wasn't even
Speaker 1: a question.
Speaker 5: It was like and she told us.
Speaker 12: The server was like, hey, just so you know, it's
Speaker 12: automatically added into the bill.
Speaker 1: What's what was it twenty Was it twenty twenty percent? Wow?
Speaker 1: I've never heard it. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And so but we signed that, and we were
Speaker 12: sitting there like, do we still tip? They're still a
Speaker 12: tip line. But this is the first time we've ever
Speaker 12: been at a situation with two people, not like a
Speaker 12: big group where they've automatically included it. So do you
Speaker 12: add an additional tip.
Speaker 5: Or are you like, okay, we're good.
Speaker 7: That was the bill.
Speaker 1: Uh. If you would have tipped twenty percent, you're good,
Speaker 1: you're good. If you wanted to tip more, if you
Speaker 1: would have tipped more, anyway you can add another few bucks.
Speaker 1: And even the fact that the waiter, waitress whomever knew that,
Speaker 1: that's them also saying, hey, you don't have to add anymore,
Speaker 1: like for them to go, hey, it's already added. You
Speaker 1: don't have to add anymore. They're also tell you this
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. So if the problem is, let's say,
Speaker 1: and I'm not I always tip at least twenty percent,
Speaker 1: but let's say you didn't want to tip twenty percent
Speaker 1: and they've already added in twenty the problem is that
Speaker 1: they just have that money. You can't take that off.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to call a manager.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: A little minus can type like a minus because imagine this,
Speaker 1: what if you did a minus for all that you
Speaker 1: paid and you got everything free. I've bet no one's
Speaker 1: done that. Let's flip that around. I think that's a
Speaker 1: little bizarre. I've never heard of that. At a two top,
Speaker 1: for sure, parties of six or more, we had a
Speaker 1: tip built in, for sure, because you just didn't want
Speaker 1: to spend and put a lot of effort into a
Speaker 1: friggin six top with a baby in a high chair
Speaker 1: and they get stabbed with no tip. You just dedicated
Speaker 1: a bunch of your night to it. But I think
Speaker 1: you don't have to tip anymore. The expectation is not
Speaker 1: to tip anymore, and if you do, that's great. But
Speaker 1: I haven't heard of that. But I think you're totally cool,
Speaker 1: and I think the weight person knew that too.
Speaker 12: What would you add if you decided to add some
Speaker 12: what would be the threshold?
Speaker 5: Would it be like five dollars?
Speaker 7: Would it be two dollars?
Speaker 1: That's how good you are at math, so you can
Speaker 1: break down the percentages, or at twenty percent, Let's say
Speaker 1: your bill was twenty eight bucks, right, you could add
Speaker 1: another three or four bucks because anything over that is
Speaker 1: that's that's just that's money. What's twenty percent of twenty eight. Well,
Speaker 1: so ten percent of twenty eight would be two dollars
Speaker 1: and eighty cents, right, okay, now double that that would
Speaker 1: be five or sixty. That's fast, it's slow down.
Speaker 2: I got a question.
Speaker 1: No, I did it slow so I can explain to
Speaker 1: you how it works.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, So now the waiter really doesn't have to
Speaker 6: do a good job and you get they get twenty percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is so stupid.
Speaker 2: Can you tell me the restaurant it's off my list?
Speaker 1: Well, it is a nicer restaurant, so it was already
Speaker 1: off your listing. Yeah, it's a nicer restaurant. It's offulous already.
Speaker 1: Good question. Never heard of that or two. But also
Speaker 1: they must be doing it because people aren't tipping.
Speaker 12: I think, And it takes out that question of you know,
Speaker 12: you're at a nice restaurant. It's already included. Don't worry
Speaker 12: about it.
Speaker 1: They should write that, don't worry about it unless you
Speaker 1: really want to worry about it. Do you think people
Speaker 1: aren't tipping? No, but some people will tip away less.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, like I don't know less people will do that.
Speaker 1: I think some people are like revolting against tipping culture
Speaker 1: and tipping way less just to be like, I hate
Speaker 1: tipping culture, but it's like some of those places you
Speaker 1: have to tip because they're making two bucks an hour.
Speaker 1: But no, it's a good question, and I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people probably wonder that. But you're fine, you
Speaker 1: have to tip anything. Did you tip anything? On top
Speaker 1: of that? I didn't. You weren't supposed to because I
Speaker 1: was like twenty percent. Sweet, Okay, you're not a loser.
Speaker 1: You're not a loser. I would tell you if you were.
Speaker 1: Don't worry everybody
