Speaker 1: episode one one of the Bobby Cast here with Jaco
Speaker 1: and which a lot of hype about this one. Wait, no, kidden,
Speaker 1: did I get special music on the intro? I don't
Speaker 1: think you had that last time I was here. Well,
Speaker 1: last time you're here was episode fifty three, so it's
Speaker 1: been a hundred episodes. And last time I wasn't here,
Speaker 1: I was at a different place. You have upgraded since
Speaker 1: I was here last Yeah, I moved houses. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is nice, man, it's pretty sweet. I was. I did
Speaker 1: not feel threatened driving down you know, your your hood.
Speaker 1: My other house, it was very exposed, like you were.
Speaker 1: The front door was on the road. Yeah, I remember that,
Speaker 1: And but I moved there. What happened once in my
Speaker 1: old house it flooded and I had to buy a
Speaker 1: place like in a day. The house that I wasn't flooded. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: So um my, I had a condo downtown, right and
Speaker 1: I lived on the top floor and it was a
Speaker 1: really cool place. But one of the maintenance men was
Speaker 1: was banging on a pipe and the water main busted
Speaker 1: and it went through the water problem and went through
Speaker 1: every floor its million dollars of damage and all the
Speaker 1: floors it went through of the's living rooms. So I
Speaker 1: lived on what floor, like the six every every floor
Speaker 1: flooded and then to move everybody out of the condos.
Speaker 1: So they were like, insurance is gonna pay for you
Speaker 1: a hotel and that had a dog, and I was
Speaker 1: like nope. So I went and bought a house and
Speaker 1: that was the house there. I bought it like a day.
Speaker 1: It's cool. It is a cool house. It's cool area
Speaker 1: over there. This is a great house. It's a great place,
Speaker 1: and it's a great time to be back. And yes,
Speaker 1: I was wondering how people, if people might be excited
Speaker 1: that we were chatting, because I haven't talked about it
Speaker 1: a whole lot. But the people I have, they're like, man,
Speaker 1: we listen your episode of episode fifty three, because it
Speaker 1: was the first time you and I had spoken in
Speaker 1: a while, because we don't know, we just hadn't talked
Speaker 1: a while. We got to a pretty good fight and
Speaker 1: all right, is a disagreement, but it was one that
Speaker 1: you could have with someone because had we not been close,
Speaker 1: we had never been able to fight like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still don't look at it as a fight. Though
Speaker 1: I listened, I learned a lot from that. My point is,
Speaker 1: if we weren't close, we would never have allowed that
Speaker 1: to happen. We would have either said it's not worth
Speaker 1: it or we have walked out. But that was the
Speaker 1: biggest single show ever until I went on to Dancing
Speaker 1: with the Stars behind the scenes for two years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got beat out by Dancing with the Stars. Talking
Speaker 1: about I didn't. I didn't even get beat by John Mayr.
Speaker 1: Not John Mayor, not Chris Stapleton, you see Chris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: John is a big one. So wow, that's pretty Why
Speaker 1: do you think that is though? Is it because word
Speaker 1: of mouth? Word of mouth? Or is it also I
Speaker 1: think possibly it was because there you have a great
Speaker 1: knack of of introducing and talking to people and bringing
Speaker 1: them out of their show. But it's rare that you
Speaker 1: come out of yours and ilished me a bit. But
Speaker 1: what I would hear from people, even our artists and
Speaker 1: creative peers, was I've never heard anything like that between
Speaker 1: two people that I know he's going at it, and
Speaker 1: they would tell their friends and that was a word
Speaker 1: of mouth show, all right, But that's how everything gets
Speaker 1: shared now, you know. Whatever on like, how do you
Speaker 1: watch TV shows now? Like? If you watch them on Netflix?
Speaker 1: How do you get onto it? Speaking of which I've
Speaker 1: I've really recently got into that. I've never had internet before. Um.
Speaker 1: I was always in a place where I didn't have nice,
Speaker 1: uh efficient internet, where it was always like they start
Speaker 1: throttling me because I only had like satellite or something.
Speaker 1: But now my friend I have Fiber. So I've gotten
Speaker 1: into the Netflix. And where do I hear Netflix from?
Speaker 1: Usually either some friends, which is a good thing for
Speaker 1: me because if I'm the kind of guy it's gonna
Speaker 1: sit there and watch Netflix. Um, I will spend more
Speaker 1: time watching or trying to find something to watch than
Speaker 1: actually watching something. Man. My point is we trust our
Speaker 1: friends because they know our sensibilities. Same thing with that show.
Speaker 1: People were just telling people about it, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: there we heard Jacobobby be Friends. We'll call it that,
Speaker 1: we'll call it. What are you watching on Netflix? Uh?
Speaker 1: Do you watch bird Box yet? Yeah? I just watched
Speaker 1: that the other night with my girlfriend and she is
Speaker 1: the one who said, everybody's talking about this, we have
Speaker 1: to watch it. And it was kind of disturbing for me.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, um. And then the ending
Speaker 1: really disturbed me because we don't say what the ending.
Speaker 1: I won't at all. I just think I would say
Speaker 1: this to anybody. Um, it's a cool movie. I guess
Speaker 1: it's kind a very interesting, just the way the whole
Speaker 1: plot is. Whoever wrote that it's a book, I thought
Speaker 1: it was some about a true story, right was here?
Speaker 1: That's what because when I thought, like a zombie story.
Speaker 1: It's exactly because when I heard that a true story,
Speaker 1: I thought, Man, I don't. I'm glad I didn't know
Speaker 1: about that that year, you know whatever, last year it happened.
Speaker 1: It's not story, but that was like it. Um no, No.
Speaker 1: I appreciate movies for cinematography. And I think Sandra Bullock,
Speaker 1: who I haven't seen since like that thing she did
Speaker 1: with Keanu Reeves or something Speed I haven't seen. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen her since the Speed days. But she did
Speaker 1: a great job. I mean she looks good too, for
Speaker 1: I mean it's been a lot of years since Speed,
Speaker 1: so she looks she looks the same. The I liked it,
Speaker 1: but I watched it earlier lea before the anytime the
Speaker 1: hype gobble something up, it almost can't live up to
Speaker 1: the gobble. There's almost no way that movie could have
Speaker 1: lived up to where it sits now, because anybody watching
Speaker 1: it now it's gonna go it's fine. But I will
Speaker 1: tell you though, as much as I said that I
Speaker 1: didn't like the movie and it was blah blah blah
Speaker 1: like I was the night before last, I think I
Speaker 1: watched it so that the next morning, when the sun
Speaker 1: came up, part of me felt a little guilty looking
Speaker 1: outside it, like, you know, the sunshine. I just didn't
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen to me. So I feel I
Speaker 1: liked it because I have never seen a Netflix movie
Speaker 1: that was good like that. I went, oh, it was good,
Speaker 1: and I watched it early. But really, yeah, what what
Speaker 1: TV shows do you watch? I don't, honestly, man, I
Speaker 1: don't really watch any TV nex I've enjoyed. I like Godless.
Speaker 1: I've been watching Godless. I like westerns. I love good westerns,
Speaker 1: like like movies like Lasting the Mohicans and stuff like
Speaker 1: that Dances with Wolves. I was always a big fan
Speaker 1: of those kind of movies. Um, so I like that
Speaker 1: Godless is really cool. It's about this town where all
Speaker 1: the men died in a mind and so it's just
Speaker 1: the women are left there to maintain this town and
Speaker 1: and rebuild it, and people are coming in trying to
Speaker 1: buy the buy the oil there. So that's cool. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think what I really hadn't got anything. I
Speaker 1: do love I do love watching on It's only on
Speaker 1: iTunes though, But Mike Judge did Tales from the Tour Bus.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen that. Check that out?
Speaker 1: What is that different artists? So my Judge basically was
Speaker 1: right King of the Hill. It's basically that. But so
Speaker 1: he goes in the interviewed, he's interviewing, um, let's say
Speaker 1: Johnny Paychecks, some of Johnny Paychecks band, or Whaland's band,
Speaker 1: and then it'll it'll be like all this time Whaland,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it switches to this
Speaker 1: cartoon of whaling and its whole skit, and it's all
Speaker 1: these real stories that happened that he brings out through
Speaker 1: these interviews, and it's just really it makes you go, Wow,
Speaker 1: people these this day and age that think they're badass,
Speaker 1: they're just not. Like, what's it called Tales from the
Speaker 1: tor Bus? What is your girl watch? Because she has
Speaker 1: to rope into things right, m hmm, not really, but
Speaker 1: we have a lot of similarities where we don't tend
Speaker 1: to watch a lot of um watch a lot of television,
Speaker 1: and you don't count Netflix's TV, like just me saying
Speaker 1: that you didn't go right to Netflix. Uh well, when
Speaker 1: I think just I'm like, it's kind of like saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: I want to coke, and they're like like growing up
Speaker 1: and there's like a coke like sprite coke. You know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of just use it as
Speaker 1: a thing. Uh No, I think just I rarely well,
Speaker 1: like last night, I sat there, I watched the National
Speaker 1: Championship football game. I guess I dates this podcast. Sorry
Speaker 1: that all right? Everything listen, we're talking about bird Box
Speaker 1: won't even be a thing in four months, but um okay,
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be what keeps network television
Speaker 1: live relevant, live events because we're getting into with everything music,
Speaker 1: even my radio show, even television, Like we want everything
Speaker 1: on demand when we want it right now, and that's
Speaker 1: that's gonna be what everything is. And I actually have
Speaker 1: no problem with it. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: get upset because I've been like that in my whole life.
Speaker 1: You just wanted it right now this second, everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about how people want that nowadays because of social media
Speaker 1: and stuff like. No, I've been like that for forever.
Speaker 1: You watched the game I did wasn't pretty? Huh? It was.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't a pretty game I thought. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was well played by by Clemson, but it just
Speaker 1: wasn't what I thought it would be. How's how's I
Speaker 1: haven't seen you? You went? Life is awesome? Well, you
Speaker 1: did the USA show and then I went off to
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. Before that started, we both kind
Speaker 1: of were like, all right, see on the other side,
Speaker 1: TV is different, isn't it. Yeah, it's a whole cool on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. When I did Idol last year, I
Speaker 1: went in for like four episodes, right and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's been thirteen hours here. Then they
Speaker 1: used nine minutes of of all of the stuff that
Speaker 1: I did, So yeah, I kind of learned the hard
Speaker 1: way there. How was that show for you on USA?
Speaker 1: It was really good. It was, I mean, it was
Speaker 1: super interesting. And by the way, I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to text her back. I feel so bad I'm
Speaker 1: even saying this on your show, But so Shania Twain
Speaker 1: Um and Travis Traitt on this show together. It was
Speaker 1: the first time I really well, I never met Shania,
Speaker 1: and I in passing met Travis UM. And it wasn't
Speaker 1: necessarily the greatest experience. It wasn't so much Travis was
Speaker 1: like at the time, like eight nine years ago, playing
Speaker 1: show and like his crew just wasn't cool to our crew.
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. But so I didn't know
Speaker 1: how to take I don't know how Travis was gonna
Speaker 1: be and I definitely never met Shanna. Travis was amazing,
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the kindest, nicest, coolest dudes. Um.
Speaker 1: We had some really great talks about classic country music
Speaker 1: in my adoration for it, UM, and then Shania was
Speaker 1: it was was great. Um. It's just interesting, like she's
Speaker 1: in another another world as far as um the way
Speaker 1: that I think she sees because of what her career
Speaker 1: has brought her. You know, Like I don't think there's
Speaker 1: very many artists that can relate to selling a hundred
Speaker 1: million albums, So what does she see like talk about
Speaker 1: that for a second, don't understand. Well, I don't mean
Speaker 1: to say that as if she she thinks she's better
Speaker 1: than anyone. She's just uh, I don't know. I wondered that.
Speaker 1: I wondered what her perspective was. Her perspective on the
Speaker 1: show was definitely a out bringing diversity to our formats.
Speaker 1: What she did, I mean when she came in, she
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily no one thought like she was the countriest
Speaker 1: girl in the format. She kind of was breaking barriers
Speaker 1: and I think that's how she sees it for all
Speaker 1: for all um artists, guys, girls, anyone that was on
Speaker 1: the show. She brought that aspect. Travis Trip brought the
Speaker 1: aspect of wanting to bring back real traditional country, which
Speaker 1: I love too, but that was his thing. Mine was
Speaker 1: kind of what I am. I mean, I love all
Speaker 1: kinds of music. I love traditional country. Um, there's some
Speaker 1: lots of new stuff coming out that I'm I love.
Speaker 1: I feel like fall in love with these artists and
Speaker 1: then um, and then I love like modern pop, anything
Speaker 1: like some cool any kind of music. I'm into all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, so which I think anyone like our
Speaker 1: generation and below are like Napster shifted that for everybody.
Speaker 1: When Napster became a thing and you got all this
Speaker 1: music for free, then you took all the music for free,
Speaker 1: and it just kind of made you, Oh, things aren't
Speaker 1: uh consumed or the delivery system is that regional anymore?
Speaker 1: You get whatever. I'll never forget, I mean, and I
Speaker 1: mean it's like I'm growing up always loved, you know,
Speaker 1: my dad like Grandy Travis and Keith Whitley and Verne
Speaker 1: Gozin and guys like that. And I loved Allen Jackson
Speaker 1: and George Strait and He's but they would always talk
Speaker 1: about as artists who they loved, you know, Alan Jackson
Speaker 1: talked about how he loved uh, Hank Williams and and
Speaker 1: and Merle Haggard and guys like that. But at the time,
Speaker 1: as a kid, I wasn't going out to the store
Speaker 1: and spending all my money on on Merle Haggard records
Speaker 1: and stuff. And my dad had this old Verne Gozin
Speaker 1: and Keith Whitley Greatest Hit seed. And anyways, when I
Speaker 1: got to college and Napster came out, I remember going cool,
Speaker 1: I can check out Merle Haggard down and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden I was able to check out all the
Speaker 1: Merle Haggard stuff for Whalon Jennings or Hank Thompson whatever
Speaker 1: it got me into that now as a as a songwriter,
Speaker 1: as an artist, and knowing what that did for a
Speaker 1: lot of people as far as their income and how
Speaker 1: it changed everyone's world, there's a part of me that goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was so mad at Metallica when they were like,
Speaker 1: you should not get this for free, right, And I
Speaker 1: was like, suck it, I deserve it for free. Was
Speaker 1: an idiot. And now you understand. I understand because I
Speaker 1: streamed content that I create, Right. But here's the Also,
Speaker 1: here's the thing that I'm I'm I'm an advocate of
Speaker 1: I love it, I love streaming, I love all these
Speaker 1: these platforms because all I ever wanted to do, and
Speaker 1: all anyone ever wanted to do that got on a
Speaker 1: bar stool or picked up a guitar for the first time,
Speaker 1: was have a few more people at the campfire, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like they're sitting there playing their
Speaker 1: song and they just kind of your look. You look
Speaker 1: up after you played some bon Jovies song or something,
Speaker 1: and you just hope that maybe people thought you were
Speaker 1: good and more people came. And the only way for
Speaker 1: that to happen was some people to hear you do it.
Speaker 1: So on any of these platforms like that. Now, to
Speaker 1: be able to get the music out there quicker into
Speaker 1: the massive amount of people is what we all set
Speaker 1: out to do, and without it we would be a
Speaker 1: little bit of a disadvantage, I think. So I love
Speaker 1: for me to take it, put it everywhere you possibly can.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, for me, the issue becomes with streaming
Speaker 1: because I streamed everything. I don't I don't download anything anymore.
Speaker 1: I think most people are. I shouldn't say most people.
Speaker 1: I think people that are on the listening to this,
Speaker 1: the techie savvy er people are streaming most things. Um.
Speaker 1: The problem is how they're starting to kind of use
Speaker 1: the metrics to go this song has this many million
Speaker 1: streams because I can due that. I can spend three
Speaker 1: d bucks and put a song on me farting and
Speaker 1: I can buy a million streams. So I don't trust
Speaker 1: anything when someone goes, oh, new artist, They've already got
Speaker 1: seven million STA on this song called Honkytong Joe, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, I can actually, so I don't trust anything.
Speaker 1: And now what I like about Apple mut But that's
Speaker 1: the thing about streaming, though. It gives you the opportunity
Speaker 1: to buy into whatever you want to buy into right
Speaker 1: absolutely like it, pass on and go to something else,
Speaker 1: and you can go you can listen to everything. Two
Speaker 1: things that does. One for me as a person who
Speaker 1: I really enjoy music and I have and I don't
Speaker 1: consider myself anymore the guy who is trying to break
Speaker 1: music all the time. I just play songs that I like.
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm a personality. I just play songs
Speaker 1: I like. But I have people constantly going, well, there's
Speaker 1: ten million streams here, and I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I know an artist who has fifty streams who actually
Speaker 1: sells tickets, and you have ten millions and you can't
Speaker 1: get seven people to come to a ball are like
Speaker 1: to me, the only real piece of data is how
Speaker 1: many people actually come to watch you. Yeah, well that's
Speaker 1: definitely the truth and the problem too. And I again,
Speaker 1: I'm as a consumer. I love streaming and music to
Speaker 1: me just goes. I love it, Let's go the next song,
Speaker 1: like I love it. I love streaming so much because
Speaker 1: I can just I can listen to John Mayer that
Speaker 1: I can go over, to Post Malone that I can
Speaker 1: go over, and I can listen to read the Franklin
Speaker 1: and it all costs the same. However, it also makes
Speaker 1: music a bit more disposable because of people like absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 1: but there's there's a lot of disposable music right now though. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I think no matter what it is, no matter how
Speaker 1: people get their music, people recognize stuff that that that
Speaker 1: they relate to. And then there's the stuff that's just
Speaker 1: like here today, go on tomorrow sort of thing. And
Speaker 1: there's always been that. But as an artist too, that's
Speaker 1: what the artists have to understand is that it's a
Speaker 1: lot it's gonna be now because of this streaming. It's
Speaker 1: gonna go, you better go, and it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot more fickle. Like I'm really fortunate, and I mean
Speaker 1: this as I told you earlier as we were chatting
Speaker 1: off this, um I'm so. I don't mean this arrogantly
Speaker 1: and nothing. But it took me a while to get here.
Speaker 1: It took me a while to be at a point
Speaker 1: in my life where like I wake up some days
Speaker 1: and I I, you know, I'm thankful of saying my
Speaker 1: prayers good Lord for what he's giving me, but I
Speaker 1: look around and I think, like this wasn't just given
Speaker 1: to me, Like I've worked hard for it. And on third,
Speaker 1: twelve years into my career. Um, I feel I'm really
Speaker 1: proud of that because it's a fickle business man, especially
Speaker 1: as I as as it's I I see it too
Speaker 1: right now too, with a lot of artists, younger artists,
Speaker 1: their path is a lot quicker than mine was because
Speaker 1: of the streaming. When I first got my record deal
Speaker 1: in two thousand five, As weird as that sounds, it
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, but there was no iTunes wasn't
Speaker 1: out yet because the iPhone wasn't even out until two
Speaker 1: thousand nine, So that isn't that weird to think about
Speaker 1: that day. But I looked back at my career and
Speaker 1: I think about there were times I was frustrated because
Speaker 1: people weren't hearing my stuff faster, they weren't doing it.
Speaker 1: But now I think about that and I think, well,
Speaker 1: it gave me an opportunity as well as a blessing
Speaker 1: because it gave me an opportunity as an artist to
Speaker 1: learn from things I shouldn't maybe have done, or learned
Speaker 1: from music I made and who I needed to be
Speaker 1: more as an artist. That by the time I figured
Speaker 1: myself out is right when, right when that was popping
Speaker 1: off and people could stream it. And nowadays, like artists,
Speaker 1: you better have you have your ship together when you
Speaker 1: come out, because you're gonna be judged by that first song.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you can continue to pop stuff out because
Speaker 1: like you said, you can put whatever you want out,
Speaker 1: but it better be quality and it better be something
Speaker 1: that otherwise it's just another song amongst the sea of songs,
Speaker 1: and the CEA is just flooding more than you can
Speaker 1: ever hold like. And even on a good song, I find,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you do this, I find that I'll
Speaker 1: fall in love with a song. It's a good song,
Speaker 1: but next week there's another badass song that comes out,
Speaker 1: and I'll go a few weeks and go, oh, I
Speaker 1: forgot about that song. As a consumer, I love streaming
Speaker 1: so much because it gives me the opportunity to listen
Speaker 1: to all I want, whenever I want. It's just like
Speaker 1: a big Thanksgiving meal that never ends and every days Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: But as someone who has to use and have to
Speaker 1: hear people talk to me all the time how good
Speaker 1: something is, I can't listen anyone tell me anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: look at most right, but I can't look. It's not
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at them because I would do that too,
Speaker 1: but I can't look at metrics and that that they're
Speaker 1: feeding me going. This has ten million streams and believe it.
Speaker 1: Speaking of metrics, man, uh, this is the This was
Speaker 1: the most listened to podcast last time. I just hope
Speaker 1: at this point I've been thinking, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I feel like at this point in the podcast, I've
Speaker 1: thought about it. I'm like, are we doing good enough
Speaker 1: to really start thinking about it? It It doesn't matter. You're
Speaker 1: gonna fight about something. Hold on, let me um, let me,
Speaker 1: let me do this commercial real quick. I love a
Speaker 1: lot of things, right, I love sleep. I don't always
Speaker 1: get the most, but when I do, I love it
Speaker 1: so much. And that's why my sleep number bed is

Speaker 1: the first time acknowledge you had a girlfriend. Oh thanks

Speaker 1: bad thing. It's actually a good thing. That it's no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it is a good It is a good thing. And
Speaker 1: that was my intentions. Um. But see, here's the hard
Speaker 1: thing about having being like I came from. I had
Speaker 1: a lot of things in my mind and things, and
Speaker 1: it's coming from having a family and getting married and
Speaker 1: having a little girl. Um, and then then moving off
Speaker 1: to order. Uh. It wasn't long after that I met
Speaker 1: Erica and we started thinking that there was this part
Speaker 1: of me for so long that was scared to admit
Speaker 1: that she was my girlfriend. Not to not to the
Speaker 1: public or anything, but like I was worried what my
Speaker 1: own daughter would think. Like Dad's already moved on that quickly.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was in my head. Um,
Speaker 1: but all along, um, I've always known that, Like Eric
Speaker 1: and I have always just been like, it's just so easy,
Speaker 1: it's so great, and she's like my best friend. And uh, anyway,
Speaker 1: how did you find out? Like was she like I
Speaker 1: think I might be pregnant? Like was she like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm pregnant. How did that all happen? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: see here's the thing, man, I know how to make
Speaker 1: a kid, you know what I mean, Like I don't, Well,
Speaker 1: it's easy, it's very I don't know if we need
Speaker 1: to go into it on this on this deal, but
Speaker 1: I mean everybody knows how the first part, how to
Speaker 1: get there. It's just a matter of you know, it's
Speaker 1: like it's it's like for it's you can't leave it neutral,
Speaker 1: you know, you put it in drive and um, so
Speaker 1: I knew like the day I put it in drive, man,
Speaker 1: and uh. And so when she told me it wasn't
Speaker 1: a surprise, it wasn't like And I think part of
Speaker 1: it for me is is that we're not married obviously,
Speaker 1: and that's the thing, like I just don't give a
Speaker 1: ship what people think anymore. I think I cared about
Speaker 1: what people thought, like when I remember when I got
Speaker 1: married before and had my child or got married and
Speaker 1: because my ex wife was pregnant, I just remember reading
Speaker 1: stuff and thinking people were like, oh, here here goes
Speaker 1: one of those typical marriages where they'll be together for
Speaker 1: three or four years and then they're divorced. And I
Speaker 1: was like, it pissed me off. And then you know what,
Speaker 1: it happened. And it wasn't because those people said it
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. It is because like her, like our
Speaker 1: own reasonings, and um, now this time around, I felt
Speaker 1: like I wanted to keep it sheltered. But with with
Speaker 1: feeling that way, I've also realized that, um, it wasn't
Speaker 1: fair necessarily for a long time to Rika, because like
Speaker 1: I never want to hurt I know a woman ever
Speaker 1: wants to feel like they're like they're not, they're not.
Speaker 1: No one knows about it. And I guess I bring
Speaker 1: that up because you said last time you're on the
Speaker 1: show was the first time you really told people about here,
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm glad you said that, because, yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess maybe part of me maybe you should have been
Speaker 1: a little more. No, I don't. I think a little bit.
Speaker 1: I kind of crowbarted a bit. I'm like, what's the deal,
Speaker 1: what's the deal? And you know it's cool. You're like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, so not to put you in a weird spot.
Speaker 1: We've been did it for like on three years, so
Speaker 1: it's you're not putting me in a weird spot at all. Dude.
Speaker 1: I'm in zero weird. I'm in zero weird spots in
Speaker 1: my life right now. It's pretty great feeling. Actually, I've
Speaker 1: never felt this way. So I've never had an announcement
Speaker 1: to share, like I'm having a baby. So whenever you
Speaker 1: guys find out that she's pregnant, when do you go, Well,
Speaker 1: we have to tell people, like what's that I told people?
Speaker 1: I would tell people publicly, like No, I I definitely
Speaker 1: tell people probably like I remember when she told me.
Speaker 1: We went to uh, we were going to Bellevue to
Speaker 1: do something she told me the day before, and I
Speaker 1: was so excited. I wanted to tell someone, but I
Speaker 1: couldn't tell anyone, but I realized but I could tell
Speaker 1: someone that didn't know me, just to tell him to
Speaker 1: get it off my chest. And I remember we were
Speaker 1: in like Michael's or something to get something for like, uh,
Speaker 1: like the craft, and uh, there was this lady standing
Speaker 1: behind us in the line and she was just kind
Speaker 1: of looking at me, and I was looking at her
Speaker 1: and like kind of did that glance of where it's
Speaker 1: like a nice like half smile so they know you're
Speaker 1: a kind of human beanie. And she kind of just
Speaker 1: how are you today? And like my answer to her
Speaker 1: was I'm awesome. My girlfriend's pregnant. We just gott out
Speaker 1: and and UH was like, what are you doing? How
Speaker 1: came you're telling her? She's like, oh my gosh, I said,
Speaker 1: you're the only person that knows, like and she's like, what,
Speaker 1: how does that feel? You're the only person that knows
Speaker 1: about this child we're about to have. And the lady
Speaker 1: didn't know who I was or anything, but she's like, wow,
Speaker 1: I feel really special, I said, you should. So that
Speaker 1: that's my answer to how I let people know? How
Speaker 1: did you decide to let it be known to the press.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing, Bobby I didn't like it was
Speaker 1: I was doing this. I did this cool thing over
Speaker 1: the holidays. On Thanksgiving, I filmed with this thing called
Speaker 1: going Home. WHOOPI gold Bird produced it. It was on
Speaker 1: NBC on Thanksgiving Day, and it was about me growing
Speaker 1: up and going back home and how much my home
Speaker 1: has made me who I am today. And part of
Speaker 1: it was sitting around the pool with my twin brother
Speaker 1: and my dad and my mom, and we were all
Speaker 1: talking about life and this and that, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I really want Erica to be a part
Speaker 1: of this, because again, like a lot of that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, she just gets left out of. And I
Speaker 1: just I'm making it more of a priority for me
Speaker 1: now to I've noticed the reason my mom and my
Speaker 1: dad have always been together and and why they've worked
Speaker 1: out so well as and my dad's always made my
Speaker 1: mom a priority and and she's just as important as
Speaker 1: anything else he's doing. And so I said, I want
Speaker 1: her to come out here. And so she came out
Speaker 1: and sitting there and we were talking, and I just
Speaker 1: I knew that at something. Here's the thing I think
Speaker 1: in anything life, you get ahead of it and don't
Speaker 1: allow something else to manipulate what you want to tell people.
Speaker 1: You got to tell them the way you want them
Speaker 1: to know you're narrative to you're a narrative. And uh,
Speaker 1: I've done the thing before, like when when I was
Speaker 1: pregnant before we kind of told and they put a
Speaker 1: press release out and you have all these people like
Speaker 1: these outlets. I want to be the first to tell people.
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of weird. So I thought, well,
Speaker 1: the easiest I could do this that the TV production
Speaker 1: crews there and they're talking. I was like, hey, we
Speaker 1: should tell them about that thing. And Eric was like
Speaker 1: what And she's on camera and I didn't tell her.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell anyone, and she's looking at me. And
Speaker 1: I looked at Jared and I said, Jared, Eric wants
Speaker 1: to tell you something about what's about to happen in
Speaker 1: our life. And he's like, are you guys getting married.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, man, we're gonna have a kid.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a baby. And uh, everyone from the
Speaker 1: people the producer of the show, like they were probably thinking,
Speaker 1: like jack pot baby, we just got some new news.
Speaker 1: But uh, it was cool. And then at that moment
Speaker 1: it was like a relief because I felt cool and
Speaker 1: I'll tell anyone anymore. This is on National TV Thanksgiving night,
Speaker 1: Boom said it. But there's still people every day that
Speaker 1: they're like, you guys are pregnant. Do you get the
Speaker 1: people going when are you gonna get married? Is that everybody? Okay?
Speaker 1: So check this out. So I went to a friend
Speaker 1: of mine's wedding in Dallas a while back, and it
Speaker 1: was in Erica was with me. We were walking around
Speaker 1: this little cool area Dallas, and uh, they were this
Speaker 1: girl who said, oh my gosh, you're Jake Going I've
Speaker 1: been one of your shows. I said, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: She's like kind of get a photo and I'm taking
Speaker 1: a photo within her mom. She's like, mom, this is Jake.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, this is my girlfriend, Erica. Um,
Speaker 1: and she Eric is starting to show a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, and I said we're about to have a
Speaker 1: little girl, and and that her mom looked right at
Speaker 1: Erica and said, well, where's your ring, honey? And Erica,
Speaker 1: to her credit, she just kind of laughed it off.
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't say anything, but those are the
Speaker 1: kinds of things that you know that weighs on my
Speaker 1: heart as a man like has me not marrying her
Speaker 1: has nothing to do right now with me not loving
Speaker 1: her feeling fulfilled. I just I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna We're a different place in the world
Speaker 1: where I don't know. Marriage is an interesting thing, man,
Speaker 1: How do you feel about marriage. I've never been married.
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude. I think marriage is unbelievable. I
Speaker 1: think it's an unbelievable partnership when you find that person
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be that way, and I really believe
Speaker 1: that Erica is that person. I'm sure at some point
Speaker 1: in the future we're gonna get married, but right now
Speaker 1: I'm starting to rushed to do it. Like everything in
Speaker 1: my life, I've worked hard for to plan out and
Speaker 1: I had a little bump in the road, which is
Speaker 1: part of life, a few years back, but I had
Speaker 1: the greatest gift come from it with my little girl,
Speaker 1: and then during that time with my divorce, everything my
Speaker 1: my career too, was really kind of boiling in a
Speaker 1: weird spot because right about the time you got what
Speaker 1: year was it you got the Bobby Bond Show two thousandwelve, eleven,
Speaker 1: uh eight, two thousand Thirteen's right about the time that roused,
Speaker 1: right after Barefoot and Blue Night. Here's my first number one.
Speaker 1: And for those first few years or when you were
Speaker 1: when you all had your show and everything was popping off,
Speaker 1: your crushing and honestly, dude, I'm fucking still crushing it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I said I'm I am. I'm busting
Speaker 1: it man every day, Like I feel like I'm not
Speaker 1: any less behind than I was then. But due to perception.
Speaker 1: That's a big thing in our business. People don't see
Speaker 1: like perception and perception and so having a song or two.
Speaker 1: I only had like one or two songs that just
Speaker 1: didn't go number one. Died in fifteen or twenty. But
Speaker 1: like people think it's funny. I hear people now they're
Speaker 1: like this down to the hockey, Tonk is crushing it
Speaker 1: and people are like, Jake, it's so good to have
Speaker 1: you back on the radio. I just want to be like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, what do you mean, like what, I
Speaker 1: haven't been anywhere, but be honest with it kind of
Speaker 1: makes me. It bothers me a little bit when people
Speaker 1: say that, because it makes me realized, Wow, they really
Speaker 1: didn't think I was gone, like I went away. Uh okay,
Speaker 1: you did switch record labels, which you which kind of
Speaker 1: pulled you back for a second. And then people go,
Speaker 1: Jake switching record labels and it did keep you out
Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind for a few months, to
Speaker 1: be fair. Huh, yeah, I think so. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe what maybe didn't feel that way to me just
Speaker 1: because I was still out on the road while everybody
Speaker 1: else thought I wasn't while I wasn't doing anything. I
Speaker 1: was out there on the road literally not only working hard,
Speaker 1: but like supporting band, crew of hand for busses and
Speaker 1: and it takes a lot to do that, and um,
Speaker 1: it's hard to accept that when you feel like people
Speaker 1: are saying, uh uh, it's worried what's happening to But
Speaker 1: the only people, let me say this, the only people
Speaker 1: that are saying that and feel that way are also
Speaker 1: the only people that have seen it that way, meaning
Speaker 1: it's people that are so inside the circle the bubble
Speaker 1: they see it. Like your fans and the people that
Speaker 1: love cutching music. You never went away to them because
Speaker 1: to them, barefoot is still the jam that is as
Speaker 1: good today as it was when the first time they
Speaker 1: came out. It's only people in the industry that go,
Speaker 1: where's the next song. It's only in the bubble that
Speaker 1: you felt that and that it existed because, like you said,
Speaker 1: you're out working and people are coming to shows. Do
Speaker 1: you think anyone cares what record label you're on. No,
Speaker 1: they don't at all. Only industry people to go yes,
Speaker 1: because that affects you every day. Now, someone listen to
Speaker 1: this now at home, and iwa doesn't affect them what
Speaker 1: record when you're on. They just want to hear good
Speaker 1: jake going songs, and they have a bunch of good
Speaker 1: Jake going songs. I guess some good ones coming. Team man.
Speaker 1: I've said this publicly many times. I think Down to
Speaker 1: the Honky Talk is one of the best songs and
Speaker 1: I think it's the best on the radio right now
Speaker 1: that one think Speechless is good. Um yeah, they're killing it,
Speaker 1: they're killing it. But Down to the Hockey Talk is
Speaker 1: so freaking good. Thank you play it here. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's because you're in front of my face.
Speaker 1: I said it down down, I go down. That's the
Speaker 1: damn dare I don't love that that makes me smile?
Speaker 1: You know how often I get to smile it songs? Now,
Speaker 1: thanks man, I'm really a lot of my new music. Um,
Speaker 1: I went back to a lot. It's kind of a bridge.
Speaker 1: It's weird because I'm this guy that grew up on
Speaker 1: the beach and very beach, but I love classic, cool
Speaker 1: country music. So it's kind of a blend between the
Speaker 1: beach songs that I love and classic country songs. And
Speaker 1: that was that one. There is more on the classic
Speaker 1: country vein and uh. Ever since I started singing, I
Speaker 1: I love singing in a register that's low because my
Speaker 1: voice sits there, and I finally found a way to
Speaker 1: kind of utilize that. So it's funny every time I
Speaker 1: hear that song on the radio and I hear that,
Speaker 1: I go down and I was like, damn, I'd every
Speaker 1: now I didn't know I could get down there, And damn, man,
Speaker 1: I remember when I was doing idol earlier in the year,
Speaker 1: you sent me. I was Jack and I don't ever
Speaker 1: take music from people, and You're like, I know you're
Speaker 1: not gonna listen to this, and so you texted it
Speaker 1: to me and I was like, I'm not gonna listen,
Speaker 1: but not listened anyway. And this song, like did I
Speaker 1: there's number one? But it really it did great. It
Speaker 1: did better than a normal one week number one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it did really well. Um and and we're all really
Speaker 1: proud of it was the first the first song off
Speaker 1: my you know, big loud release, so there was a
Speaker 1: big tune and uh, it was a start to getting
Speaker 1: that momentum back. I think what we're talking about earlier,
Speaker 1: you have to have momentum. And I would say that
Speaker 1: to any artist as a as a piece of advice
Speaker 1: that like young up and comers and stuff, it can
Speaker 1: this this world can be kind of polluted with the
Speaker 1: smoking mirrors of it all. Um, when you have a
Speaker 1: shiny hit that you know, your label paid a bunch
Speaker 1: of money and had regionals working for fifty weeks and
Speaker 1: and then you have a number one and like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, it starts and and yeah that's where it starts.
Speaker 1: But it's it's almost like it gets harder at that point.
Speaker 1: And um, and so it's nice to have that momentum
Speaker 1: back for me because the minute you can create momentum,
Speaker 1: but the men and the momentum starts, you know, dwindling
Speaker 1: just a little bit, which is just like anything, Like
Speaker 1: any professional athlete is not gonna step up to the
Speaker 1: plate and hit a home run every single time he
Speaker 1: steps up to the plate. But you know what, like
Speaker 1: that's how I feel like. I'm gonna go out trying
Speaker 1: to and if I strike out, which I've done a
Speaker 1: couple of times, cool for the next time I come
Speaker 1: back up, I'm gonna try to knock it out of
Speaker 1: the park again. My favorites made for you. I told
Speaker 1: you this, I know you played it. This is what happened.
Speaker 1: You played an erotic charity event. So we went out
Speaker 1: to that event and you played it and it wasn't
Speaker 1: out and I was like, dude, that's the greatest I
Speaker 1: love it. Nex Yeah, so what's what is this? What's
Speaker 1: the next one for you? By the way, are you
Speaker 1: not you have to say no, no, it's cool. I
Speaker 1: have so I can't. We don't know, man. I have
Speaker 1: some great songs, like really good songs and d made
Speaker 1: for you with the jam and we're just we're bounding
Speaker 1: to this tournament. I've gotta I'm I have a little
Speaker 1: bit of a chip on my shoulder. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: lie I don't know if you can see different reasons,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. You always come in with a
Speaker 1: good chip, a healthy chip about something. Yeah. Well I've
Speaker 1: always had a chip on my shoulder, I think from
Speaker 1: the beginning days, trying to trying to you know, just
Speaker 1: like anyone. It's a it's a confidence. It's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Looked at me like you flinch, Like why you're saying that. No,
Speaker 1: I have a chip on both of my freaking shoulders
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, I don't think it's a negative thing.
Speaker 1: I think you can take you to both places, super
Speaker 1: positive and super negative. But I think you're someone who
Speaker 1: has a chip all the time. And that comes from
Speaker 1: someone who has a chip all the time. You constantly
Speaker 1: have something to prove. Yeah, but I'd have a lot
Speaker 1: more to prove after like last year and just like
Speaker 1: a lot of changes and stuff. And I'm surrounded by people,
Speaker 1: um now that are just they're just they're so great
Speaker 1: and it feels so refreshing to work with people that
Speaker 1: are so I've worked with I say that, but let
Speaker 1: me say this though, for thirteen years at another label,
Speaker 1: I worked with people that made me who I am today.
Speaker 1: Like so, but they're they're just after a while at
Speaker 1: any place it gets it's like it's like a relationship. Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta find ways to spice it up. And when
Speaker 1: one one person in the relationship is not wanting to
Speaker 1: spice it up, man, find spice elsewhere. Is that true?
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's what I do. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let me do this. Well, you don't have a girlfriend
Speaker 1: these days or anything? We can come back to that. Um,
Speaker 1: let me say this to Jake has a podcast called
Speaker 1: Good Company with Jaco and Twitter. Are you gonna be
Speaker 1: on my podcast whenever you want? Okay? Cool? I feel
Speaker 1: like that would be cool, right, because then I can
Speaker 1: ask you all the questions. You can't ask me whatever
Speaker 1: you want right now. You can call me and ask them.
Speaker 1: You can say I want to come on your show.
Speaker 1: I had. There's no rules about what you can and
Speaker 1: can't ask me, or a venue or you can and
Speaker 1: can't ask me. I wonder comfortable? Can we talked about
Speaker 1: a hour and I never talked to people here? Have
Speaker 1: we been talking for an hour? No? No No, we talked
Speaker 1: for forty five minutes before we even hit record. Because
Speaker 1: we're talking about business stuff and we're, you know, working
Speaker 1: together I have been fine, hit a record on it.
Speaker 1: I just really try to put here's my thing. If
Speaker 1: I lie, I can't remember it anymore. Yeah, so I don't,
Speaker 1: so I just say I just put it out there
Speaker 1: from my freaking hemorrhoid too. Yeah. I've noticed that you
Speaker 1: talk about that on this show and stuff ever. But
Speaker 1: it's the first thing in the morning, man, And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I admired that you'll talk
Speaker 1: about anything something hemorroid, but it's that the good and
Speaker 1: the bad. Are you still as weird as you used
Speaker 1: to be? Has all this fame and when Dancing with
Speaker 1: the Stars made you weirder? Because that's where we were
Speaker 1: last time I said you were weird. I don't feel
Speaker 1: there's a fame. I actually feel like it's taken some
Speaker 1: of the weirdness away from you because you can't dodge
Speaker 1: it now, like you're in so many different spotlights and
Speaker 1: people are wanted. You can't be as weird as he
Speaker 1: used to be. I don't understand what that means. Weird though,
Speaker 1: but it's a good weird. But that doesn't make sense, Like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean weird defined I don't understand your
Speaker 1: question because weird is such a vague term. Um, how
Speaker 1: did I used to be weird? And how am I
Speaker 1: less weird? And I'll answer your question and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why I'm not whatever it is, But go ahead.
Speaker 1: I had a big breakthrough, but I'll tell you that
Speaker 1: you did. Yeah. I want to on site, man, dude,
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about to go in there. Dude. It changed.
Speaker 1: Is the best thing I've ever done, everything I've ever
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that sometime off off this. I did
Speaker 1: eight It was eight hours for five hours a day
Speaker 1: of NonStop therapy. I bet it was amazing. Hardest thing
Speaker 1: is that it took three I cried three days and
Speaker 1: cried in tenures. Right except for cried like two years ago,
Speaker 1: except for rooting ninety one, um and my mom, and
Speaker 1: that was on the edge of I haven't cried. I
Speaker 1: didn't cry. And because I never cried, for me, do
Speaker 1: not to this the hardcore therapy I bought like a baby,
Speaker 1: and I came and it was people like Dave Heywood
Speaker 1: who was like, you gotta go, and Nicole Galleon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. The people that like also will admit that
Speaker 1: that that they've got to figure some stuff out as well.
Speaker 1: We all have to figure stuff out. And you know what,
Speaker 1: we never figure it out because as soon as we
Speaker 1: figure one thing out, it opens the door for the
Speaker 1: nine other things about figure out. Yeah, the thing that
Speaker 1: I figured out, I don't know anything. I don't really
Speaker 1: don't know anything. I figured that out a long time
Speaker 1: ago that I didn't know. Always thought I could fake
Speaker 1: it or I could just manage it. I don't anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. That's okay, though I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be a bit more vulnerable. You know, that was a
Speaker 1: big thing for me. But I don't listen. I'll always
Speaker 1: be weird. I don't even know what you mean about weird.
Speaker 1: You can elaborate if you want. Um. No, I mean
Speaker 1: I think like when I first Scott to know you,
Speaker 1: like I just didn't know. I didn't really know. I
Speaker 1: mean you you're who you are, you know. I think
Speaker 1: at first I was just trying you. I couldn't figure
Speaker 1: out if you were who you were, or if you
Speaker 1: were like the Bobby Bones guy on the radio, and
Speaker 1: then like this other guy when you weren't you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, am I? No? I feel like you're
Speaker 1: the same guy that's behind them like in the mornings
Speaker 1: and then the same guy off. You know, but you
Speaker 1: have so much extra culurricular things happening that I find,
Speaker 1: at least for my life personally, for me to be happy,
Speaker 1: I have to have outlets things that like things that
Speaker 1: are like hobbies of mine that I love to do.
Speaker 1: And if someone said to me, like, hey, man, what
Speaker 1: do you think Bobby's hobbies are question, that would be
Speaker 1: a great Bobby now here's this week's Bobby's hobby. He's
Speaker 1: gonna try this one. You're like, maybe you should try this.
Speaker 1: But honestly, I would say you're one of those guys,
Speaker 1: like a couple other friends of mine that are very successful,
Speaker 1: I don't know what they do outside of work, and
Speaker 1: and that kind of like as your friend and someone
Speaker 1: that knows you, it's kind of like. That kind of
Speaker 1: bothers me a little bit because I feel like it's
Speaker 1: a piece of happiness that you're you could I'm not
Speaker 1: judging your happiness. I'm just saying you could add to
Speaker 1: your life by implementing a couple like super cool hobbies
Speaker 1: that take you away from the whole business side of things.
Speaker 1: My issue has been I have a hobby, right and
Speaker 1: then I go no, no, no, Like I'll find a
Speaker 1: hobby and then I'll go, you know what, I can
Speaker 1: actually turn this into something. For example, I started a
Speaker 1: box right not bought two gyms in Nashville. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed so much, why don't get involved in it.
Speaker 1: It sounds to me like you like money. No, actually
Speaker 1: not at all. I like building things like from this
Speaker 1: podcast to a radio show, one market to a small box.
Speaker 1: I like, I like to figure things out and then
Speaker 1: once I get it, I go, Okay, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to something else. But I don't know if that's a hobby.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I have. Like I you know,
Speaker 1: I would like write funny songs. I was like, let
Speaker 1: me just make a band and then we tore all
Speaker 1: the time. Do you find it for your show? A law?
Speaker 1: And also along the lines of other like artists. I
Speaker 1: feel this way to like guy like Allen Jackson. Right,
Speaker 1: take a guy like Allen Jackson came from noon in Georgia.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot. I was working I think
Speaker 1: at Walmart or something before he made it big and
Speaker 1: then his his tape got found on the airplane. Froy
Speaker 1: Harold shed from his wife with whatever he goes from
Speaker 1: noon in Georgia to like, you know, a few years ago,
Speaker 1: it's like Alan Jackson sells his house for thirty million dollars? Right,
Speaker 1: how do you always? How do you stay to where
Speaker 1: you can stay relevant and understand people as you grow,
Speaker 1: like into a life that isn't what's necessarily exactly like
Speaker 1: your audience? Does that make sense? I've asked myself that too,
Speaker 1: Like you see certain artists, have you seen how like?
Speaker 1: And I've always watched myself from from afar like to
Speaker 1: make sure that I never like my my people that
Speaker 1: got me to where I am, don't ever think that
Speaker 1: I've gotten to another level to like to where I'm
Speaker 1: too big you know what I'm saying, or flashy or
Speaker 1: anything like that. I think a lot of its rooted
Speaker 1: in Yeah, I mean, I grew up the first twenty
Speaker 1: two years of my life just gutting it out right
Speaker 1: and right and being extremely poor and having to figure
Speaker 1: it out. And then now you know what I do.
Speaker 1: That is really cool because again I have a job
Speaker 1: even if there wasn't money, and I have a good
Speaker 1: career even if there wasn't money attached to it. I
Speaker 1: still have a job that isn't normal where I get
Speaker 1: to go and do something for fun. Had to be
Speaker 1: goofy and write and creating, write books. I mean that's
Speaker 1: not a normal thing. But what I have found that
Speaker 1: really centers me is touring and meeting and talking to
Speaker 1: people like I do an hour mean great before the
Speaker 1: show and like an hour afterwards every stand up comedy show,
Speaker 1: and just being able to spend time with people regrounds
Speaker 1: me every time. And I think I've seen that Ellen degenerous.
Speaker 1: Yeah I thought you'd like she was great. Yeah, she's great.
Speaker 1: And again how does Ellen get up and relate? But
Speaker 1: then she gets up when you go and she owns
Speaker 1: herself like she owned the whole. I'm a lesbian thing
Speaker 1: and it started from the beginning. So you, like you
Speaker 1: said earlier, you take the power out of someone else's
Speaker 1: hands too, assuming you you deliver your own narrative. Things
Speaker 1: pretty cool And I to me, it's always been a
Speaker 1: focus to be able to give back because I was
Speaker 1: given to because people fed me. You know, you've definitely
Speaker 1: done that pta group, church groups, uh, school like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have got so making it a priority to make
Speaker 1: it about other people has been made me go, I
Speaker 1: don't even matter, Like really, we don't. I don't matter
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things. People just think everyone,
Speaker 1: everybody on everybody on earth is going to forget who
Speaker 1: I am at some point. Same thing with you eventually,
Speaker 1: unless the world blows up, everybody on earth is there's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a single trace of Bobby Bones left
Speaker 1: in four years. Okay, what's your hobbies? I don't hobbies?
Speaker 1: Like in the next like, like, you have ten seconds
Speaker 1: to think of two things you like to do that
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the work. I mean, I
Speaker 1: watched I like watching Netflix at a hobby. Yeah, that's cool. Cool,
Speaker 1: that's a hobby Outside of that. I mean, do you
Speaker 1: like you know, you like to work out? You do?
Speaker 1: Somebody that I don't even like to work out. I
Speaker 1: hate it because I I just do it because it's
Speaker 1: work that needs to be done for me to be healthy.
Speaker 1: So wait, who do you know? Send me up with somebody?
Speaker 1: I know lots of people, man, but the thing is
Speaker 1: you're not. I'm actually trying to get my twin brother
Speaker 1: right now and moving to Nashville. He's starting a snow
Speaker 1: phase of life, and uh, I keep telling him part
Speaker 1: of his I think frustration is is that he has
Speaker 1: not found a great girl. Part of finding a great
Speaker 1: girl is being out a place in your life where
Speaker 1: you're a good person that attracts a good girl. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in a place in your life
Speaker 1: you're just kind of like sketchy, you're gonna attract sketchy chicks.
Speaker 1: And uh so I think, um, are you, I mean,
Speaker 1: are you ready? Are you ready for somebody to be
Speaker 1: really serious with? Yeah? First of all, there's no sketchy
Speaker 1: about me. There's I'm just gone a woman that's sketchy.
Speaker 1: I've dealt with Yeah, totally gone all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's seven sex with anybody. But here's the thing
Speaker 1: I think to a woman, I've I've learned this like
Speaker 1: it's it's it is appealing like work ethic of a man.
Speaker 1: They see someone like yourself works hard, you have a
Speaker 1: lot of things set up in a great way because
Speaker 1: you've you've worked hard for them. They get to be
Speaker 1: a part of that. You admire them for their work.
Speaker 1: I think blah blah blah blah blah. But there comes
Speaker 1: a time though, where I don't care if you do
Speaker 1: what you do for a living, I don't care if
Speaker 1: some guy's a salesman for meta pharmaceutical sales. If you're
Speaker 1: gone all the time, it's hard on someone, and so
Speaker 1: it's about finding someone. Maybe it's also gone a lot.
Speaker 1: I thought you were dating that girl dancing with the
Speaker 1: Stars for sure, because she's hot that we never never dated,
Speaker 1: never even talked about it. I'm gonna tell you the
Speaker 1: honest to God true. The first night she came to
Speaker 1: I figured this is gonna be another one of your
Speaker 1: things where like you're like, you know, like kind of
Speaker 1: like somebody else in the bit, like it just organically
Speaker 1: worked out that way. But I can see this kind
Speaker 1: of would like that to happen though, right, not with
Speaker 1: her why it was in l A. First of all,
Speaker 1: here's the whole thing, right, But nobody's asked you this.
Speaker 1: I bet nobody's asking about the situation. But I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you from everybody to watch that thing. And from
Speaker 1: my perspective, like every picture you guys posted and you're
Speaker 1: staring at each other's eyes and all this, I was like, dang,
Speaker 1: good for Bobby Man. She is hot. Here's the real story.
Speaker 1: By the way, I think we're closer now after the
Speaker 1: show than we were during the show, because uh, because
Speaker 1: that was it was torture because I didn't know how
Speaker 1: to dance right and every day she was. But see,
Speaker 1: that's what she admires about you, Bobby. She now knows
Speaker 1: that you went from something you were uncomfortable doing. That's
Speaker 1: that's what women want. They want to take you into
Speaker 1: something you're uncomfortab well and make you great at it.
Speaker 1: Here's the story. The first day she came to town,
Speaker 1: she came over to the house and said, hey, come
Speaker 1: over because apparently we're gonna spend a lot of time together.
Speaker 1: And she was like, yeah, we spent almost she came
Speaker 1: to this house. Yeah, So she walked in and was like,
Speaker 1: he's a baller. I don't know if people think that,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a totally of course they think
Speaker 1: that you pull up here. I don't feel that way
Speaker 1: because it's my house and I'm here all the time,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. You know how, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You can say whatever you want. I don't. But she
Speaker 1: comes over and I say, hey, listen, we're I don't
Speaker 1: know what the environment. Can I pause you for a
Speaker 1: second because I'm a d D mike. I did notice
Speaker 1: for for Bobby having such a nice house, Why are
Speaker 1: you parked on his grass? Bro? Yeah, but I could
Speaker 1: get in, I could go around. It's a loop, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like, damn, Bro, it's parking
Speaker 1: on the grass. We didn't want we wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure you so you sacrificed your grass for me. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that I did that. At a Christmas party recently,
Speaker 1: we all we're up. We're givers, right, Like um I
Speaker 1: told her the first day, I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what the deal is, but we I can't. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna fall from you it. I'm not gonna try
Speaker 1: to have sex with you. I'm not gonna flirt with
Speaker 1: you because I have to win this show and I'm
Speaker 1: I came here to win. And that's why now after
Speaker 1: the show, you guys are closer because you already got
Speaker 1: business behind you. And now that the business has been settled,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're so what you're in l A nine.
Speaker 1: You're in l A is fifty percent of the time. Now,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll ask her, I'll text her and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, Jake said, but now it was never
Speaker 1: a thing forever. But you know, like you like, but
Speaker 1: if it could be, you don't see yourself maybe pursuing it. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Really, yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But here's like what I also wanted, because she is
Speaker 1: cute and she is that girl that like brings guys
Speaker 1: like you like when they go to do the show,
Speaker 1: like they're uncomfortable and she's got to make them feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: So how many guys, just like yourself, they maybe have
Speaker 1: done the show like the same thing, like you would
Speaker 1: want it to be cheesy, like you're just the next
Speaker 1: guy that like hit on her that she worked with. Also,
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I'm not gonna hit on you
Speaker 1: because I know and I think all of her partners
Speaker 1: fell in love with her right because she's awesome and hot,
Speaker 1: Like everything about her was like, oh, totally be into it. Um,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't want to be that as well.
Speaker 1: I knew that if I was trying to be funny
Speaker 1: and flirt with a girl, I could not focus on
Speaker 1: what I had to do. There's just no way because
Speaker 1: I was so not good at it. I thought, you're
Speaker 1: pretty good. Everybody else did two you won. I didn't
Speaker 1: win because I was good. I want because I was okay.
Speaker 1: And because I chose the other side of it to
Speaker 1: focus on. When two things were split and everybodys focusing
Speaker 1: on one side, I went and made the people love
Speaker 1: me and made the judges you know, tolerate me. But
Speaker 1: I think you should give her a call, man. I
Speaker 1: think you should just call or to say why not?
Speaker 1: What if? She said? It would be nice to have
Speaker 1: somebody that can see you know, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: And also I don't want to run her news. But
Speaker 1: she's gone, gone, gone, gone gone. I'm not running her news.
Speaker 1: It's that's just not gonna work. It's not gonna work. Uh. Well,
Speaker 1: I think thanks for asking. Yeah, I just thought maybe
Speaker 1: that would be something, you know, But I'll keep my
Speaker 1: eyes and here, if I ever get married, she'll be
Speaker 1: at the wedding. Yeah, like we'll be that close. Cool.
Speaker 1: Well that's good enough. Yeah. But you definitely have know
Speaker 1: people you surround yourself with, and you you definitely have
Speaker 1: quality females around. I have all females because I was
Speaker 1: raised by off females. My head producer, my assistant, my
Speaker 1: agents manager. They have to be female. I don't trust dudes.
Speaker 1: Dudes are scum, not all of them, man, no, but
Speaker 1: all of us are a little bit. We have a
Speaker 1: scum meter, you know, we at least have a few
Speaker 1: few percentage scumpoints because we're dudes. Yeah, some are, but
Speaker 1: that that's that's it. No, we didn't date, that's it.
Speaker 1: I was like, who you know? You know, I gotta
Speaker 1: help hook me up with anybody. I don't. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would trust you. I don't hang out that much. I
Speaker 1: wish I did. I don't hang out either. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm on that. I'm on that riah app I was
Speaker 1: on that, are you? Yeah? It was great, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: But again, everybody lives in other cities. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't. I don't have time to
Speaker 1: go to New York. And I didn't thinking that I
Speaker 1: would meet someone that would understand my lot life. And
Speaker 1: then it was became for me more or less like
Speaker 1: this weird thing of of knowing that I was saying
Speaker 1: hi to people that I would actually never say hello
Speaker 1: to ever again. So it was like cheap conversation and
Speaker 1: I'm really uh and I really like like good honest,
Speaker 1: every day down home stuff. That's where I came from.
Speaker 1: So anyway, how did you know I was gonna be
Speaker 1: a dance with a start before anybody else did, because
Speaker 1: you sent me a text and you were like, oh
Speaker 1: I heard you're gonna be dancing with the stars and
Speaker 1: you've seen a little dancey man. And I was like,
Speaker 1: how do you know that? Because I know lots of things, man,
Speaker 1: before lots of people. I do. Who told you? I
Speaker 1: don't remember who told me? But we we we have
Speaker 1: a lot of the same circle network people. So somebody
Speaker 1: in your circle of network like we have to so yes,
Speaker 1: somebody probably. Okay, anyway, okay, what's when you know? What
Speaker 1: I like about what you're doing musically is of all
Speaker 1: of us talking about all the stream of music. I
Speaker 1: hope this is super engaging. Man. I've been a long
Speaker 1: as podcast. We're fifty minutes and we like four minutes left. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're only is yeah, okay, let me say this, um,
Speaker 1: because I have to get a spray tan after this,
Speaker 1: I was wondering why you didn't look as tan as usually.
Speaker 1: I have an American Otto shoot tomorrow and I have
Speaker 1: to hold it to the very last minute. I know
Speaker 1: that's because I'm so relatable, but I have to have
Speaker 1: to get a break in it's part of the job.
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about music and putting it out.
Speaker 1: A lot of the time you haven't put out a record,
Speaker 1: but you continue to feed out songs. Yeah. Well, I've
Speaker 1: been getting worn out from my label about when I mean,
Speaker 1: I literally just I have a meeting tomorrow about it.
Speaker 1: It's they want to know when they want to put
Speaker 1: the record out, and I've just been going to I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, but I'm ready. Now are
Speaker 1: you going to put out a record? Oh? Yeah, it'll
Speaker 1: I think the record will be out by March, probably
Speaker 1: a record record like twelve thirteen songs, ten songs, yeah,
Speaker 1: ten to twelve songs, probably go full post Malone do
Speaker 1: like ninety. Yeah, I've got a bunch, but I want
Speaker 1: to kind of just keep plugging away at it and
Speaker 1: keep pushing stuff out. UM. But I also I also
Speaker 1: long for I have this. One of my goals this
Speaker 1: year is to make like more of a like a
Speaker 1: conceptual record, um where it's all based around one certain thing,
Speaker 1: because I've always wanted to do that. I feel like
Speaker 1: I've made a lot of great records, but there are
Speaker 1: a lot of songs that don't necessarily tell a story together.
Speaker 1: They're just songs, and um, when I listened to like
Speaker 1: Casey Musgrave's Golden Hour album, those songs don't all necessarily
Speaker 1: all relate to one another lyrically, but sonically this it
Speaker 1: makes you believe that they do. And so I've always admired, uh,
Speaker 1: those artists that put together an album like that that
Speaker 1: kind of has a more cohesive sound and out and
Speaker 1: and that's how this one will be as well. But
Speaker 1: I just I want to get more into like the
Speaker 1: like Sturgill Simpson made an album, um that was for
Speaker 1: his son, and it was all the songs written for
Speaker 1: his son. It was actually the Sailor's Guy to Earth,
Speaker 1: And Um, when you listen to the songs, you unless
Speaker 1: you heard me say that or him tell you that,
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't know. I didn't know that. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: when you go back into the record twenty times, I
Speaker 1: did not know that. Now now that you know that,
Speaker 1: I go back and listen to it, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: And I know Sturgill Simpson's obviously the cool guy to
Speaker 1: reference these days, you know, or whatever when it comes
Speaker 1: to the country format. But um, I just I think
Speaker 1: doing just pushing the envelope a little bit like. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't want to become the same.
Speaker 1: I don't want to keep putting out the same kind
Speaker 1: of solence that people. It's like you said earlier, people
Speaker 1: expect something. You want to give them what they expect,
Speaker 1: but I want to give them a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I think it's also to give somebody a little bit
Speaker 1: more than they expect. I didn't say that here. I
Speaker 1: said before we came on, just so people know that
Speaker 1: they didn't miss a great point. I was making a
Speaker 1: brilliant point. That was a good point. Not but now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is people want to know what they're getting.
Speaker 1: But you can slowly shift it slowly, and by the
Speaker 1: time you do four projects, be a totally different artists
Speaker 1: and nobody feels like you've left them. Right. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do um, let's do this list real quick. I'm about
Speaker 1: to be in a movie, though. What what? It's a
Speaker 1: big movie? Man? What movie I got? I supposedly there's
Speaker 1: some people I've heard that are not too happy that
Speaker 1: I got the part. Okay, now you're kidding about something.
Speaker 1: You're going somewhere, Go ahead, what's the movie? No? No, no, seriously,
Speaker 1: it's a big it's a cool deal. Man. It's uh, okay,
Speaker 1: what's the movie? Can you say? Yeah? Yeah, it's it's um.
Speaker 1: I think I can say um. So it's got a
Speaker 1: casey Afflecks in the movie. Um, Dakota Johnson, Um, the
Speaker 1: guy from what's the what's the movie? The movie? I
Speaker 1: believe the title is, And I hope these people want
Speaker 1: to hear me this, and they don't hold each of this,
Speaker 1: but I believe. I'm almost I think the title is
Speaker 1: My is the Best Friend. And it's a true story.
Speaker 1: It was. There was a big article in Esquire written
Speaker 1: by the husband of this girl there from farareh Hope, Alabama,
Speaker 1: and she got cancer and um, it was just hard
Speaker 1: on him to take care of her. And she had
Speaker 1: this friend of his of hers, her best friend. They
Speaker 1: called and said, hey, man, I'll quit my job. I'll
Speaker 1: move there and help you guys with all this. And
Speaker 1: he comes ends up like sleeping on their couch and
Speaker 1: it was only gonna stay for a few weeks and
Speaker 1: ends up staying the whole time through this process, and uh,
Speaker 1: she ends up passing away. But it's the story told
Speaker 1: from the husband and about how this guy was this
Speaker 1: unlikely person to be in their life at this at
Speaker 1: this moment, when they're going through so much that a
Speaker 1: child she's got cancer. Um, but how much he helped
Speaker 1: and how much he brought her her husband closer to
Speaker 1: understanding her thanks to him. So, Um, I'm one of
Speaker 1: the friends of this guy, and you're acting. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: do you start shooting? Uh? Next month? Look at that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and fair Hope, Alabama. How long do you shoot for?
Speaker 1: I think a month? It's exciting. Man, I've been kind
Speaker 1: of dipping my my tail into lots of different things.
Speaker 1: But uh, I was really surprised to get this I got.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why, but and I've never
Speaker 1: been one of these guys either just gonna like aet
Speaker 1: like lose touch with what I really really brought him
Speaker 1: to the table. But as you said earlier, I mean
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm at a place in life where
Speaker 1: I can try and do a lot of different things,
Speaker 1: and it's about taking risks and kind of putting and
Speaker 1: putting yourself in that uncomfortable situation all dancing with the stars. Um.
Speaker 1: And I've never acted for and I've never done that,
Speaker 1: and I kind of want to be pushed. I want
Speaker 1: to see if I can do it. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I could fall, I could be terrible, I could, you know,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Then
Speaker 1: um Or DiCaprio was pissed you got his role. There
Speaker 1: was a few people I think that I wasn't DiCaprio.
Speaker 1: There was a few people though that I heard, like
Speaker 1: one ed it because I would surprised me. So I'm excited.
Speaker 1: The last thing you will end with this list here
Speaker 1: the last thing you blank, last thing, last TV show
Speaker 1: you binged? Um probably eastbounding down, last album you listen
Speaker 1: to all the way through who all the way through?
Speaker 1: The last album? Uh? This band called Bob Moses. Last
Speaker 1: app you downloaded. Oh it's all about bettering yourself man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead. UM. I downloaded this app called Task and
Speaker 1: basically what it is it helps me compartmentalize my life.
Speaker 1: So today or uh today, our deal was if I
Speaker 1: go back to my today thing it shows Bobby Bones
Speaker 1: podcast six thirty. I met with my business manager in
Speaker 1: my farm. Basically, when you add something like and I
Speaker 1: have ideas all the time, and so I wanted away
Speaker 1: that when I got an idea to be able to
Speaker 1: put it on my phone or somewhere and I can
Speaker 1: store it away in a different like maybe that idea
Speaker 1: doesn't need to happen today, but it needs to happen
Speaker 1: this day where it needs to happen by that day
Speaker 1: or one day. Maybe it's just a dream box. It's
Speaker 1: got it filters all my ideas and it's called task.
Speaker 1: Task the last person you follow on Instagram, M hmm,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I will say this.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm struggling with Instagram lately and struggling with Twitter. Um,
Speaker 1: I think I've been turned off by just generic content
Speaker 1: that I see, like people put out there, which I
Speaker 1: get is is day to day life and people want
Speaker 1: to see that. But I haven't really posted that much
Speaker 1: stuff really. I used to be on Instagram and Twitter.
Speaker 1: You're one of the originators of somebody with like a
Speaker 1: music platform using like Twitter. You write pretty revolutionary for
Speaker 1: country music. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to get I'm trying
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to come back. That's what
Speaker 1: we're talking about earlier in a way. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: come back and do it more because I love doing it.
Speaker 1: I just I feel like it's you just become piled
Speaker 1: in with all this other random stuff that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And uh, what my I think I'm gonna do is
Speaker 1: maybe I should tell you off but off this thing
Speaker 1: is a pretty cool idea for the like Instagram like
Speaker 1: stories and stuff like that. Actually I'm not I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just say it and then if someone does it then,
Speaker 1: but I'm kind of wanna I'm gonna make like a
Speaker 1: mini like docuseries movie, but like where every story, like
Speaker 1: the story of each fifteen seconds that you're seeing is
Speaker 1: like done, but it's done live. It's not done like
Speaker 1: get it and produced it and then added it, uploaded
Speaker 1: it to your story. It's just gonna take some good intertwining.
Speaker 1: But I have a pretty good, uh idea for what
Speaker 1: that shall be the last thing you read about yourself
Speaker 1: that wasn't true, Um my net worth didn't you're like
Speaker 1: search like? Well I did, ever, I didn't search my
Speaker 1: net worth. The other day. I was trying to search
Speaker 1: for my website or something because we were doing updates
Speaker 1: to it. And if you type, you know, if you
Speaker 1: type in, somebody that always puts in after, like it
Speaker 1: could be like Jake O and uh whatever net worth
Speaker 1: is Jaco and gay is just whatever else pops up
Speaker 1: and uh and this, and I saw like, what's Jacoen's
Speaker 1: net worth? And I was like, I'd like to know
Speaker 1: my network right now? What is what's my net worth?
Speaker 1: And I and I clicked on it was like two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty nine million dollars and I thought, wow,
Speaker 1: wait what Yeah, dude, my net worth two and nine
Speaker 1: even jas net worth? And see what this says? You
Speaker 1: see ten million right now? Well it goes everywhere between
Speaker 1: two million, two hundred and eighty millions. There was one

Speaker 1: in your book, I was I loved it when I
Speaker 1: got to the part where you talked about meeting your
Speaker 1: dad and meeting him at that barbecue place, and like it.
Speaker 1: I was happy for you, man, because Uh, it was
Speaker 1: one of those things where in all of our lives,
Speaker 1: there's so many situations. I work with a guy right now,
Speaker 1: as you know, issues with his father and and I
Speaker 1: think life's too short. And I just made me feel good.
Speaker 1: I just want to say that, like as a person
Speaker 1: that knows you, and then also read your book to
Speaker 1: know and I don't know where you're at now with that,
Speaker 1: where that went from there, um, but the way you
Speaker 1: described it in your book and and standing there with him,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure out what you're gonna eat
Speaker 1: and uh and then that moment of him, like you know, him,
Speaker 1: him pulling up in the parking lot and you being
Speaker 1: like is that him? You know? Is that it's cool?

Speaker 1: you about did do that. He went and talked to
Speaker 1: his dad and it's all like, it's really cool now

Speaker 1: just takes taking that chance. And I think for whether
Speaker 1: it's you or whether it's the people that read your
Speaker 1: book and what you're doing. I think to get if
Speaker 1: anybody else out there that's listening, if you have whether
Speaker 1: it's your dad or it's your brother, or whether it's
Speaker 1: anything um life, so sure that it's important to go
