WEBVTT - 9-15: Bobby Cast Ep. 8 (Q&A) 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:07.080 All right, welcome to the episode eight does the Bobby 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:11.680 Cast Our special guest today is Dusty the Dog sitting 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.200 in the chair across from me. No guest today. We've 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.960 had guests last three or four episodes, and we had 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.000 Craig Campbell in earlier this week. But I thought I 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.680 would come on and simply just answer questions that you 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.279 guys have posted on Facebook. And so I have my 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.600 laptop in my lap now as we do this, and 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:30.760 so I guess about an hour and a half ago, 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.360 I simply wrote on Facebook, I'll be doing the Bobby 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.120 cast answering your questions. What do you want to be addressed? 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:41.159 And so all I'll do is just go down through 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.240 the line. As of right now, there are a few hundred. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.360 I will be able to get to all of them, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:45.680 but I'll try to get to as many of them 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.000 as possible, and we'll kind of break it up this way. 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.920 Uh So, thank you guys for listening again. Thanks to 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:56.040 our sponsor. We don't have one yet, but soon, um well, 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.480 we'll have a sponsor hopefully. All Right, are you ready? 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.640 Here we go. Uh, let's just kind of roll through 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:07.679 some of these questions. Question number one, Uh, Kim Johnson writes, 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.399 what do you think of Ryan Seacrest doing tell me 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.919 something good? Do you feel he stole it or intentionally 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.360 offer it up? Um? Do you see yourself doing Top 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:21.800 forty radio ever again? I eat Elvis and then, um, 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.480 it's a bunch of stuff here, a bunch of stuff here, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.160 odd tell me something good. Ryan Seacrests actually called me 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.480 and said, hey, do you mind if I do it? 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:30.920 And I said, no, I don't care, Like I mean, 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.080 I don't own it. We were the first ones to 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.600 do it. We were the first ones to do like 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.959 a segment that tested. It's just a weird thing because 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.759 we didn't invent positivity. We didn't admit doing a good 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.240 news story. But what happened was we started doing a 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.840 segment like thirteen years ago and it became such a 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.440 success they started making other shows do it, and other 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.160 shows started doing it. Then before you know it, it 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.200 tested in research and now everybody does it. So um, 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.120 I'm glad everybody does it. But no, Um, it was 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.800 actually nice of him to call and say, hey, do 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.080 you here if I do it and do it the 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.000 same way that you do it, because he didn't have 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.480 to do that. He very easily could have just I mean, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.840 he's Ryan Secrauch and do whatever he wants. Um. No, 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.120 I don't see myself going back to top forty or 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.240 to rock or toy. I can see myself doing sports 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.760 again on the side, but I've been approached about doing it. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.040 I don't. I don't want to leave a guy. I 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.600 feel like where I am now, so I'm supposed to 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.920 be unless they get fired, which could always happen. But no, 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.799 I've had people come to me, even in the company, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.400 and say, hey, you know what you you know, just 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.120 bringing it up, and for me, it's not even a 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.480 a thought. I don't ever want to leave. Like I'm 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.120 I'm good right now. Okay, reading things from Facebook, these 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.959 may rattle off a little slow. Let's see, what is 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.880 your definition of country music? I think Aaron Lewis was 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.000 just being bold. I don't have a definition of country music. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.919 That's the thing that there is no such thing as 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.480 here is the exact definition. I just didn't like how 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.919 I went after specific artists, because every artist is just 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.600 trying to make their art and make their living, and 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.240 you after somebody because of them making art. And you know, 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.000 he crossed over. He was on pop radio. You know, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.000 ten years ago, I just thought a little hypcritical, that's all. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.880 I didn't expect it to do what it did. I'm 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.799 glad he called in. I thought it was funny. He said, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.080 you know, he was just playing for the crowd. That's 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.480 not how I would have handled it. Would have been like, no, man, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.720 I believe what I said. I boys shut up. They 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.480 all suck. I was surprised at that part of it. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.480 But um no, there is no definition. That's why people 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.120 are for so for sure about it. Here's the thing 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.960 about people. Anybody that that tells you they know everything, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.960 they know nothing. Someone's like, oh, I'm an expert in this. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.839 They're not those people to trust. Um so um, there's 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.640 no definition authenticity. You know, you don't have to have 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.640 a steel guitar. I don't. I'm tired of even talking 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.200 about it because I feel like we've had talked about 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.320 the ten times. Because there's always somebody who goes without 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.040 any country. Okay, well in your definition, that's like someone 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.360 going without any American Well that ain't okay in your mind, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.120 but good for him. You gotta pop for his record, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.840 like you want to press. He got it. So um. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.440 I thought that was you know, a nice little moved 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.360 by him. But I'm done talking about the definition of countries. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.280 I just I don't care. Like that's it. Here's one 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.000 from Kelsey. I'd like to know why the top of 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.040 the hour Bobby Bones show jingle has been shortened because 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.760 he used to go Brothers and Sisters transmitting across the nation. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.719 It has been short and it's funny that you noticed that, 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.400 because what happens is there's a fifteen second local liner 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:33.720 at the top of the hour, and then we had 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.760 a fifteen second one and it was just too much 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.080 of it, like going to No. Number One hit music 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.719 country Weenie in the bud. Yeah, So it was just 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.520 too much of just talking with the voice guy, and 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.520 so I said a thirty seconds, it's like twenty now. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.559 Total of the local station does like a fifteen second, 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.960 and then ours is very quick now and you know, 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.360 all of our stuff is in her name, but it's 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.080 like we have to say it so many times over 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:01.360 and over again. So that, um, that's why we did 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.720 shorten it. That's that's cool that you noticed that. Though. Uh, 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.040 let's see Bobby. I've seen you twice in Raleigh, which 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.240 is where I lived, to take my forty six birthday. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.080 And we're going to Charleston, South Carolina, so I can 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.920 see you tomorrow night. Just got in town, were sight seeing. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.840 That'd be cool that Lee and Michelle, we'll see you 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.599 tomorrow night. Michelle and Lee, we are the Raging Idiots. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.240 Will be in Charleston tomorrow night, playing and making on 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.800 Saturday night. I've been sick for the last and six 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.159 A weird word because I haven't really been sick. I 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.160 just sounded like crap and I've had a terrible cough. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.520 I feel great so much so that I feel so good. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.240 I move around and that's when I get my cough 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.320 back because I feel good. But um, yeah, tomorrow i'd 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.760 be good. Here's one. I've been reading your book. I'm inspired. Um. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.720 I've been trying to get into radio for so long, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.680 but no one has ever given me a chance any suggestions. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.000 That's from Caitlin. Uh there, there's really no way in. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.640 That's why it since that sucks like there was. I 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.840 didn't have a way in either. I begged. I went 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.839 begged and cleaned the radio station. Like That's how I 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.080 got in. I was like, hey, can I work and 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.680 clean the radio station? It wasn't to be on the air, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.680 and people just want to be on the air now 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.240 and that's just not how it works. So I was 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.880 hired to clean and then I went over and started 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.680 doing weekends after some people got fired. Even Mike d 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.880 who produces this show, he start you were an intern 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.080 forever for free. Just show up every day, do random things. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.280 That's the suggestion is that you have to dedicate a 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.320 lot of your time and sacrifice a lot for nothing, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.320 because it wasn't. You don't get into this business for money. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.240 Um you know, eventually you can make some, but you 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.160 don't get into it for it. But um, so yes, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.640 it's tough if you if you feel like there's something 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.920 else that you could do, then this is not for you, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.279 like any creative field. Like even you don't talk too 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.680 artist friends and like, you know, maybe I could go 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.320 do this. I'm like, well, then you probably shouldn't be 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.280 an artist because you have to put all of your 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.760 effort into it, like all of your heart, all of 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.400 your soul. If not, then it's probably not for you. 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.479 So I hope you get it, Like I hope. My 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.799 advice is just do everything possible to get your foot 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.680 in the door. So again I'm reading these as we 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.720 go down. So a couple of questions for you from 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.160 kier and on Facebook. Is there anything you look back 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.400 on that you would change or redo? Um? I mean, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.120 I didn't like getting fined. I gotta find a million dollars. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.280 That wasn't pleasant that I wrote about that in my books. 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.000 That wasn't good. And there aren't a lot of things 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.360 like I say, you know a couple of things. It's 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.280 like either win or you learn. You know, I don't 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.160 think you'd lose very often. And when you do lose, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.160 you you use it and you use it to win 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:49.000 the next time. So, um, but that I would take 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.000 that back. Not a lot of scripts I would take 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.880 back because I've learned a lot from doing stupid things. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:58.600 But that would be one of them. Let's see, I 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.400 let's see, did dide spots kid is never ending? All 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:07.000 of garden pass? Um? I think it was today? Did 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.560 it one night? So I guess we'll know in the morning. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.880 I don't know. I was thinking about getting one too, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.600 but um, I forgot about it. I don't know, We'll 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.480 find out in the morning. Let's see here do you 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.200 team with other I Heart shows? Um? Mason Remy and Alabama. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.600 I know them. I was actually in the here with 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.960 them today because they do mornings in Chicago and then 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.840 afternoons in St. Louis. We do mornings in St. Louis. Um, 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.600 and we have I have a two stand up comedy show. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.120 So I was doing the afternoon show with them talking 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.360 about the St. Louis stand up shows. So I do 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.360 know them, yeah, um, yeah, I was. I mean I 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.040 kind of mentored them a bit when they first got 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.400 into country radio. So other good people like Alabama is great, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.400 Like I think she's fantastic, and she's new to that 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:56.199 show over there. Let's see more radio breaking the radio 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:01.160 business man. It's tough, tough cookie to crack. One of 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.280 the raging ideas, come back to Las Vegas. The last 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.040 show was amazing. I can't say yet it will be 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.040 this year and it will be for free. That's all 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.320 I can say right now. But it will be a 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.920 free show. I'm positive because show was so big last time, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.440 so much fun, that we have to come back because 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.160 some people couldn't get in and sold out so fast. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.120 But I think it's gonna be a big free show. Um. 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.719 Let's see on one of the previous podcasts. You made 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.240 mention to Craig or Chip of the seven biggest artists 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.880 in country, would you mind elaborating. I think that was 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.000 just a number that I use. There are certain artists 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.559 that they put a song out is pretty much just 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.840 gonna go number one. Like you, it almost has to 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.760 not be good more than just be good. So if 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.920 someone like Luke puts out a song, it's probably you know, 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.000 it's just gonna be a number one unless something crazy happens. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:57.080 So like Luke and al Deane and Blake, you know, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.640 and who knows what's gonna happen with this one from 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.360 Blake now, But and Blake's have like seventeen a row 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.640 or something like that. Blake and Carry is one of them. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.000 There's just that upper echelon of people that their songs 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.280 just they go number one every time, just every time, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.760 number one, number one, number one. Um. So yeah, and 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.080 maybe seven isn't the number. I just kind of threw 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.440 that out there. It's hard for new artists to break 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.120 through because those other guys, they it's like automatic number one. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.440 Like they put a song out, it just goes number one. Um. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.560 They also have you know, they have huge fan bases 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.960 and big downloads, and they work with the best writers, 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.920 so usually their songs are the best as well. But yeah, 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.160 it's weird when their songs don't go number one. It 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:43.400 doesn't leave a lot of room for um new artists, 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.920 which is tough. Are charts based off of sales or 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.080 other factors as well? This is from Sierra. Well, there 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.600 are two charts. It's like a media based chart, which 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.040 is the one that we work on, the big one, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:57.240 the radio one, and it's based on radio spins and 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:58.880 how many spins it gets per week and like how 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.199 big the markets are. And then there is like Billboard 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:09.079 which factors in CD sales and streams and downloads. So 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.560 they were both of those and most of the time 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.040 they'll be number one at the same time. Sometimes they're not, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.480 but most of the time the number one song is 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:20.439 number one on the same time. Melissa asks where did 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.439 you get Dusty from? Would you ever be interested in 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.080 getting a playmate? No? No, I adopted Dusty. They did 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.040 a raid on a like a kennel when I was 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:36.520 living in Austin and where they were breeding dogs, and 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.959 so they had all these puppies and I took Dusty 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.440 before he was even old. Enough to be a real dog, 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.120 Like he was still like weaning for his mom, and 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.080 so they took them and I adopted him. I could 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.640 fit in my hand. But now I s thirteen. He's cool, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.920 Like he's about to have a backyard. He didn't even 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.520 know that yet. You know, we're gonna move in a 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.480 few weeks and gonna have a yard. But he's good. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.560 I think he'd just be annoyed. And Morgan's dog comes 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.480 over a lot too, so he gets enough plate time. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.280 He just chills. One would you do Dancing with the Stars? 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.520 This from Monica. Um what if you had a bunch 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.200 of questions? Man Um, I've actually been asked to do 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.960 Dancing with the Stars a couple of years ago. It 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.520 wasn't hey, do will you be on the show? Was hey, 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.520 would you be interested in talking to us about it? 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.880 So I can't say that they sent me a contract 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.160 because that would be a lie. But I could not 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.560 do it because on my schedule, Um, at the time, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.959 I would probably consider it. Now, I mean, Jane is 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.200 doing it. She has having a great time. I talked 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.160 to her today. Her back, her ribs are so messed 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.280 up that she's still trying to work through it, but 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.199 that would be fun, I says, will you fill into 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.240 the coast with Kelly Rippa? That's been talked about. I 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.800 don't know. The problem is is that show comes on 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.640 during my show, so it's tough for me to go 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.880 do other things whenever my show is going on. One, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.880 because contractual obligations, I can't go do another show while 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.080 that shows on. I can't go and do an the 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.839 TV show, Walmart Radio shows on and then two. Um, 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.160 I mean yeah, probably mean I would do that, and 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.480 I might. Who knows who would make your top ten 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.680 favorite athletes of all time? From Kate? I mean top 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.400 ten is crazy, so I don't I wouldn't go top ten, 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:25.160 but like Mark Grace, Andre Dawson, Ryan Sandberg staying the wrestler, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.560 you know people like that. Let's see here ranked the 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.880 cast of Friends by the funniest Um. Okay, I would 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:48.400 go in order Chandler one, Monica too well, Joe is funny, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:54.640 but he's so one dimensional, So I go Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.559 Phoebe and put Joey last. Even though I get the 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.960 biggest belly laughs out of Joey. Sometimes he very one dimensional, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.880 just the dumb guy so I'd have to put them 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.000 at the very end. But they're all funny in their 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.760 own way. But Chandler, to me, is the funniest. Why 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:12.319 who do you put it one? Where do you picture 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.680 yourself in ten years? You know, I have I have 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.719 no idea hopefully doing some version of this here. It's just, 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.120 you know, you don't know where the technology is going 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:26.000 to go. I hope on whatever radio is, then radio 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.120 could be like it is right now where you know 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.560 I'm actually on FaceTime right now, live and I'm talking 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.000 for recording for a podcast and you can watch it 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.960 right now or you can listen to it. So I 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.760 don't know. I think it's it's always going to be 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.680 that content and who gets content out Like the days 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.400 of being radio DJs and talking over music that stuff, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.280 it's almost done, Like there are almost none left there 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.280 you can it's people who can provide content that other 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.360 people can't. And so that's what I always tell people, like, 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.800 what can you do that nobody else can? Those are 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.320 the people that are gonna cut through in radio and 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.600 television and make it. It's people that can do something 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.320 other people can't. There's a reason that howar'dstrna makes a 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.720 hundred million dollars a year because he can bring an 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.080 audience and he can be compelling in a way nobody 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.640 else can. There's a reason Charlemagne the God is the 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.920 number one hip hop guy. There's a reason Ryan that's 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.360 what he does in l A. You know, there's a 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.920 reason that I'm here doing this. And it's not always 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.600 the right reason. Some people hate my guts, some people 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:29.320 love my guts. But it's you. You have to be different. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.040 And back in the day, every station had talking DJs 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.280 over songs and it was a thing. And when I started, 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:35.720 that's what I did. I talked over in music. It 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.800 was like, hey, what coming at here? Number three? But 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.160 that's done. Like, there's not a lot of it left 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:46.080 in the next five seven years. You know, there's not 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.960 even a lot of DJs talking over music anymore. So 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:54.880 it's about content. If you get about five other living 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.120 people to dinner, who would it be? Uh? And this 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.200 was kind of a talk we had this morning. I 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:05.280 would put, um, you know, David Letterman is my hero. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.560 You know, I think I mentioned Howard Stern earlier. I 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:15.160 think he's funny. I mean, he's radio wise, the greatest ever. Uh. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.600 Probably Charlemagne because he's a close friend. He'd be he'd 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.280 be mad. I wouldn't bring him if I had David 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.400 Letterman and Howard Stern over who gus I bring John 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.080 mayor maybe have hung with John Ayrabit. He's add but 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:35.080 it's cool. Um. I don't know. Maybe just to fill 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.800 it out like Garth or something, if they're alive, that 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.920 would be cool. Um Man, I don't know. I'm just 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.600 reading these off the page here. Um. Next week. By 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.280 the way, Ryan Heard is gonna join us. He is 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.720 a songwriter, he's gotta he's got songs out now too. 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.120 But he's been a like a big songwriter for a while. Um. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.360 He wrote the song with Blake Shelton and Ashraman Road 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.240 Lonely Tonight. He wrote Derk and Maren I'll be the Moon. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.640 And now he's got this song. Uh uh and nobody 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.919 do it like we do. Uh. Anyway, he's gonna be on. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.320 We'll talk to him next week. Let's see. Taylor says, 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:14.720 I'm trying to make it as a country singer. Do 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.360 you think it'd be a good idea to move to Nashville? 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.840 You almost have to move to Nashville. It's almost a 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:24.359 one thing because everybody's here. It's not a hudd percent 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.560 because nothing in life is. I mean, Zach Brownell, they 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.359 don't love in Nashville. I don't know if they ever 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.480 like did if they did, I wasn't here like they 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.480 live in Atlanta, at least Zach does. But yes, the 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.879 answer is yes, there's because everything is here, all the 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.520 people to find you, all the people that promote you, 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.560 all the people even like Justin Moore who lives in Arkansas. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.439 Now I had to move here for a while, but 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.320 then he's like, I'm out. Darius lives in South Carolina, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.360 but he's Darius, but he was here and he's out. 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.639 So yes, especially to make it, you kind of have 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:59.240 to be in Nashville. Have you ever met Adam Carolla 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.520 that maybe somebody I would have at dinner, Like, I'm 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.480 a huge Adam Carola fan, Like he's one of the 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.199 funniest people in my mind that exists. I've heard you 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.000 mentioned you're a fan of his. Adam Carola is so funny. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.919 He's on the list when I think of people make 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.560 me laugh out loud, it's Adam Carola and Chris Rock 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:20.240 and Ricky gerbais um those guys are all super funny. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.439 To me. Adam Carolla is kind of the reason that 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.560 Mike d the producer, lost a hundred pounds, right. Yeah. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.480 I met him back in Austin, like a few years ago, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.280 and we take a picture together, and I mean, it's awesome. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.640 It's Adam Carola, and I mean I've loved him forever. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.960 It's like love line. And then I looked at the 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.520 picture like, man, I don't you want to post that thing? 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.080 So yeah, maybe you want to lose weight. And since 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.879 it's also over a hundred pounds, Yeah, Adam Crowl is awesome. 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.680 If you had to relate to any Wheeler Walker junior song, listen, Well, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.320 he's a friend of mine, but I don't I can't 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:57.240 really read tweeting thing he said. It's so dirty, Like yes, 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.280 I can't even. He's actually a good guy too, and 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.760 I don't want to ruin, you know, but he's he's 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.479 really funny. But that's all I'm gonna say about that. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.480 I have nothing bad. I enjoy him a lot, but 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.680 I can't ever really promote it because it's his thing 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.120 is so dirty, that is iron but it's really funny. 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.280 It's weird because I don't curse at all, like none 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:22.520 and that's all you know, that's what he does. But 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.720 he does it for comedic reasons. It's not like someone 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.240 who's using curse words to add just for the sake 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.280 of being dirty, like he used a very It's very 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:37.199 smart if that's the thing. It's very smart dirty. Um, 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.600 what do you try to focus on when you're anxious 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.560 at nighttime and you can't sleep? I turned the TV 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.440 on Full House or a TV show that I've seen 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.440 every episode of, so I don't get because I'll try 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.159 to start watching shows. I must leave my TV on 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.560 at night or I can't sleep at all. Because I 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.000 grew up never had a bedrooms. I lived in the 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.480 living room, stuff on the couch my whole life, so 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.399 there was always a TV on. So without a TV on, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.400 it feels is crazy. So I put it on shows 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.359 that I know the episode already and I can just 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.080 close my eyes and know where it's going. So it's 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.919 full House or Raymond. It's basically Nick at Night or 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.399 TV Land and maybe TBS if they're showing an awards 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:19.280 show on one of those other channels. So there's that. Um, 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:23.399 let's see, just scrolling through I would like to know 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.440 how spouses fill out being talked about on the radio, 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.000 says Talicia. I think it's different with everyone on the show. 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.880 One of the things that obviously you guys don't know, 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:38.280 but I think most of you understand, is that nothing 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.880 really gets screamed out that's off limits. Some people will 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.880 get on Facebook like I cannot believe you would talk 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:45.679
