Speaker 1: All right, Welcome to episode twenty three The Bobby Cash
Speaker 1: Our guest this week guest producer Ready from the very
Speaker 1: popular Bobby Bone Show and award winning band The Raging Idiots. Hello, Wady,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the studio. This is awesome. And he's never
Speaker 1: been to the house before. Eddie text me, I don't
Speaker 1: even know my address. Eddie text me was, hey, what's
Speaker 1: your address? I was like, I don't know, dude. Is
Speaker 1: that really? You don't know your addressle like Mike had
Speaker 1: to give me. I don't know my zip code. I
Speaker 1: don't know anything, dude, Dude. I like the place. It's nice.
Speaker 1: I don't know my mailing address. Um uh yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's a it's a nice place. Thanks. When I grew up,
Speaker 1: I want a place like this. It's like Mario Brothers
Speaker 1: because there are three levels, or it's a lot of
Speaker 1: climbing because there aren't stairs. It's all just ladders to
Speaker 1: get to the next floor. We were thinking though, because
Speaker 1: Dusty has to go up now stairs all the time,
Speaker 1: because he just runs up and down the three levels
Speaker 1: of the house that we have. I have to find
Speaker 1: somebody to build ramps down every staircase, like carpeted ramps
Speaker 1: so he doesn't slide down them, and I think it's
Speaker 1: easier on his legs. He's thirteen now, so I don't
Speaker 1: falling down the stairs. No, but and he doesn't even
Speaker 1: not like him yet he gets tired going up and
Speaker 1: down them all the time. I thought having a backyard
Speaker 1: was gonna be crazy for him. But it's just the stairs.
Speaker 1: He just gets tired. But again in the next year,
Speaker 1: as his body deteriorates as he is an old man,
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to have some some kind of
Speaker 1: stare thing built. Can you do that me? You can?
Speaker 1: Why because I built stuff? Because you can do build
Speaker 1: anything or break into or break into any dude, I
Speaker 1: can break into things. He goes, yeah, I can build things,
Speaker 1: break into things. I can fix my car. And he
Speaker 1: can take a credit card to get into any door.
Speaker 1: Not any door. I've never seen you not get into
Speaker 1: a door with a credit card. It's weird, dude. My
Speaker 1: dad used to have this, uh Swiss army knife and
Speaker 1: he would be able to open our car doors with
Speaker 1: just that little knife. Is it because the car door
Speaker 1: was so old or because your dad was so gifted
Speaker 1: with Swiss army Because there are two because there are
Speaker 1: old cars that we had that I think a butter
Speaker 1: knife could have started the car. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: did start the car. Yeah. I mean this was back
Speaker 1: like in the nineties, so I mean I guess like
Speaker 1: he's just he was just good at the nineties. That
Speaker 1: was his tool. Let's do this. Let's talk about Blue
Speaker 1: Apron for a second. For less than ten dollars per meal,
Speaker 1: Blue Apron deliver seasonal recipes along with preportioned ingredients to
Speaker 1: make the lustious home cooking meals. And Blue Apron knows
Speaker 1: when you cook with great ingredients, you make in incredible meals.
Speaker 1: So they use ranchers and fisheries and suppliers and they'll
Speaker 1: send it right to your house. It's box. You have
Speaker 1: a good boy, apron um No. I tried to get
Speaker 1: Lunchbox the Blue Apron for his wedding anniversary, but he
Speaker 1: said it wasn't a good gift. Try to give him
Speaker 1: like a whole year's supply of blue I know, I
Speaker 1: was gonna pay for it, and that was my gift. Oh,
Speaker 1: but since he already buys it, he doesn't even get
Speaker 1: it free. Like GE's the show. Every time he still
Speaker 1: pays for it of course. Yeah, yeah, she'd probably work
Speaker 1: on that. Um. You can check out this week's menu.
Speaker 1: You get the first three meals for free with free
Speaker 1: shipping by going to Blue Apron dot Com slash Bobby
Speaker 1: Mills Meals Meals Due. I'm I've listened to all these
Speaker 1: Bobby casts Bobby meals. You struggle with that Mills No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I say it how I say it, and I struggle
Speaker 1: with having to change it. You guys want me to
Speaker 1: be somebody I'm not. Yes, you do me U. Blue
Speaker 1: Apron dot Com slash Bobby Meals you love how get
Speaker 1: a fields and taste Blue Apron dot Com slash Bobby
Speaker 1: Meals Blue Apron a better way to cook? But type
Speaker 1: that Blue Apron dot Com slash Bobby meals No, I'm trying.
Speaker 1: Here's the big disconnect amongst our show is we come
Speaker 1: from a lot of places, but all of us met
Speaker 1: in Texas, all the main cast we've been together for
Speaker 1: years and years and years, and Texas as much as
Speaker 1: I love Austin, I was like a home to me
Speaker 1: and I still live there and they're building that's a
Speaker 1: crazy studio, which is awesome because and be there more like,
Speaker 1: please build a studio because I live there and I
Speaker 1: want to be there more. For like two years, they've
Speaker 1: been promising and finally they're doing it. So but the
Speaker 1: thing is, Texas is not the South. There is a difference.
Speaker 1: Texas Texas, absolutely, and so whenever we say things like meals,
Speaker 1: that's my southern accent, that's Arkansas, yes, and Texas is
Speaker 1: a different accent. So it is Oklahoma the South, yeah,
Speaker 1: parts of it. Man, So it's just Texas, Texas, Texas,
Speaker 1: own Country, Texas and New Mexico, Arizona. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like the Southwest. That's it's it's very much so. But
Speaker 1: Austin is different than all the rest of Texas too,
Speaker 1: because the rest of Texas is like Austin is its own,
Speaker 1: almost its own republican itself because nothing else is like Austin.
Speaker 1: And then you go down to San Antonio and it
Speaker 1: becomes more Mexico. You go to the east and it's
Speaker 1: like like Pine country, cowboys, oil builds. You go up north,
Speaker 1: Texas is well, it's so big though, it's huge, huge,
Speaker 1: and that's what I grew up in, like Texas being huge.
Speaker 1: So traveling once we moved up here, it's like whoa,
Speaker 1: I can go to Kentucky and I can go to
Speaker 1: uh Yeah, Like that's crazy that we can drive to
Speaker 1: another state in less than like four hours. Another one
Speaker 1: of my points, as you're wearing a knit cap on
Speaker 1: your head, as you would call it a beanie. Now,
Speaker 1: I grew up calling it a toboggan. And when I
Speaker 1: moved to austin twenty one two, I was told, hey, stupid,
Speaker 1: that's not called a toboggan. It's called a beanie Texans.
Speaker 1: So I when in Rome, started calling it a beanie,
Speaker 1: but never felt right really, so you changed, well because
Speaker 1: just because I didn't want to start. I don't want
Speaker 1: to have to explain myself, right, That's the way I
Speaker 1: am with people that say guacamole guac like it's not
Speaker 1: guaka's guaca. More like you guys say guests okay, so
Speaker 1: and it's gistl Like no, that's just like that's an accent.
Speaker 1: So that's a different not a different word point. It's
Speaker 1: not a whole. But in Arkansas we said cheese dip.
Speaker 1: That's terrible that I agree with. But no, here's the difference,
Speaker 1: so too again, difference in Arkansas. Growing up, it literally
Speaker 1: was cheese dip. It was just melted cheese. It wasn't
Speaker 1: so you would get like craft slices and melted. My
Speaker 1: grandma would take velvita or we take government cheese. Come
Speaker 1: in the box and you have melted and then we
Speaker 1: just take chips. That literally was cheese dip. And that's
Speaker 1: what a lot of Arkansas had because it's not like
Speaker 1: there's a lot of great Mexican food there. And I
Speaker 1: moved to Texas and it was Queso. So for me,
Speaker 1: it was just struggled knowing there was a difference. Listen,
Speaker 1: I changed, I fit in do you call do you
Speaker 1: called guacamo and guawk? Mm hmmm, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's one of those you say that. I don't think
Speaker 1: I call it guacamole. It's just too many. I will
Speaker 1: have a side of guaco mooley, please, guango moley? Can
Speaker 1: I get some guaco? Yeah? Just because I really don't know.
Speaker 1: Another thing is that I would like my step dad
Speaker 1: would say. I would say, hey, what's the state that
Speaker 1: looks like a boot? What's the state looks like a boot?
Speaker 1: The state in America looks like a boot? That was easy? Idaho, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's more like a sideways Bryan Pan you know a
Speaker 1: boot it's down below Arkansas. I'm just you know what
Speaker 1: it it's not a trivia question, No baton rouge. Louisiana Louisiana. Right,
Speaker 1: like my stead dad who's on the show quite often,
Speaker 1: does not call it. That called the Louisiana in Arkansas.
Speaker 1: You called Louisiana Louisiana Saturday night. Right. And another thing
Speaker 1: is there's the state with all the s is in
Speaker 1: it Mississippi Mississippi. Right, That's not how we set it
Speaker 1: growing up. And does Mississippi Mississippi. It's like you cut
Speaker 1: a hole, it's off of it instead of Mississippi. It
Speaker 1: was Mississippi. Were gonna go down to We'll go to
Speaker 1: the boats and gamble like we go to you know,
Speaker 1: like Charles or that's in that's in Louisiana, Louisiana. Where
Speaker 1: were the we're the boats in Mississippi? Uh? Where were
Speaker 1: the boat Missisippi? Yeah, but we wouldn't go that far.
Speaker 1: Where were the boats in Mississippi? Uh? Most of the
Speaker 1: time we would go to uh not because we go
Speaker 1: through southern Arkias. I've been so long as gamble, dude,
Speaker 1: remember you used to gamble so much. But we would
Speaker 1: go to Tree Reports. Where we go, Yeah, we go
Speaker 1: to the boats in Shreveport, and then let me go
Speaker 1: to Scotty that you can call Scotty now in that Shreeport, Louisiana. Okay, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we used to go to Cashata, Louisiana like Charles, Louisiana Treeport. Um, dude,
Speaker 1: Scotty and his family are big. They like to the boats.
Speaker 1: And you know what it knows about Scotty and your
Speaker 1: set down. They both say, um, do what do what?
Speaker 1: Do what? That's like, yeah, excuse me? Do what what?
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Hey, we're on the air recording something
Speaker 1: right now. So I just got a question for you. Uh,
Speaker 1: when you guys would go to the boats in Missisipi,
Speaker 1: where would you guys go? Tunica? Tunica? Yeah, that's the way.
Speaker 1: But when we would go, we'd mostly go to Streport, Louisiana. Right.
Speaker 1: Scotty moved to Kansas City, by the way. What Yeah,
Speaker 1: he loves Scott didn't know that. That's Eddie by the way,
Speaker 1: yelling at you. Yeah all right, anyway, that's all all right.
Speaker 1: See that boy by Scotty a man of very few words,
Speaker 1: very few words. Scott is my neighbor going up. Scotty
Speaker 1: and I have state friends since Scott used to beat
Speaker 1: me up when as a kid. Really yeah, because it
Speaker 1: for fun. Two years older than me when you're in
Speaker 1: high school, in elementary school, he was your bully. Hell yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for a long time. Yeah yeah, told me this story. No,
Speaker 1: he lived next door and he was two years older
Speaker 1: than me. And when you're in fourth grade, in sixth grade,
Speaker 1: that's a significant difference. So Scotty beat the crap out
Speaker 1: of me, right, But you guys are like best buds now, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you grow into it. Wow. Yeah, and we had a
Speaker 1: lot of similarities. We go ahead and fish. And if
Speaker 1: you fought today, who would win? I kill him. He's
Speaker 1: much bigger than I. I would kill him because I'm
Speaker 1: a good shape. I mean, he may get a couple
Speaker 1: of punches. But the reason I would win many fights
Speaker 1: with people in my age now is not because I'm
Speaker 1: a good fighter, but because I'm in a good shape
Speaker 1: and fighting takes a lot of energy. Yes, you've said
Speaker 1: that about me, I'll kill you. Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: should try something. You would probably, But here's the thing too,
Speaker 1: I'm you're not even scraping. That would be on the
Speaker 1: golf course and he would say something. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: don't don't mind up. I would tackle you and I'm
Speaker 1: going to tackle Eddie like he was a freaking punching bag.
Speaker 1: You were just sitting up. Sometimes I would just kind
Speaker 1: of fall before you even know. We were out. This
Speaker 1: weekend we were playing we only have here's the thing
Speaker 1: with the raging Idiots. Eddie and I are pretty much
Speaker 1: done after these last two shows. Depending on when you
Speaker 1: hear this, we have a couple of shows left, one
Speaker 1: in Vegas, one in Albuquerque, and I thought then we
Speaker 1: were going to retire and just calling it a day.
Speaker 1: But then Stage Coach. Stage Coach called and said, would
Speaker 1: you guys come play Stage Coach and they have this
Speaker 1: is the main stage where the big Axe play the
Speaker 1: huge acts, and they were like, you can play early
Speaker 1: in the day on the big stage, or you can
Speaker 1: close out the small stage. And if we're gonna go,
Speaker 1: we might as well because we'll we'll never go to
Speaker 1: that again in our life, probably because it's just so
Speaker 1: far and we see all that anyway. Here, it'd be
Speaker 1: like traveling to Japan to watch an episode of friends
Speaker 1: on CAP I get to watch in our bedroom. Why
Speaker 1: would go to Japan to do it? So? Why would
Speaker 1: I fly out to California to watch all the country
Speaker 1: acts every day? But it is supposedly a cool experience.
Speaker 1: So we chose to play later in the day on
Speaker 1: the smaller stage. But we planned to not playing your
Speaker 1: reging IDEO shows next year at all. Were gonna call.
Speaker 1: We were actually gonna wrap it up, and so we're
Speaker 1: doing that show. But now the people know, I'm getting
Speaker 1: requests that crazy to do him next year. Hey, the
Speaker 1: money is good, We'll do anything that's not. No, that's
Speaker 1: my slogan. That's my slogan for governor. I'll do any
Speaker 1: act for money. Dude, that's gonna that's gonna get you
Speaker 1: the governor. I have to raise money, I'll do I'll
Speaker 1: do any act for money. I think it's crazy that
Speaker 1: the governor of Arkansas or by the way, I tweeted
Speaker 1: him and I thought it was a need. He tweeted
Speaker 1: me back. First of all, someone from like a press
Speaker 1: course something saw it. He's done pretty close to seven
Speaker 1: year old man. And I'm sure he's not reading he's
Speaker 1: not my Twitter. I don't know he's on Twitter. Probably not,
Speaker 1: but he's probably not reading my tweets, and so I
Speaker 1: didn't even put him in the first tweet. I ended
Speaker 1: up putting them more later and somebody said, hey, Governor
Speaker 1: Hudson respond back, and he did, or someone in his
Speaker 1: team did, regardless. The next morning he called the request
Speaker 1: line the governor of Arkansas. That's crazy to me. To me,
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. I don't know if governors are
Speaker 1: big deals to other people. I don't know if growing
Speaker 1: up to the governor of to us, the governor was
Speaker 1: big because Bill Clinton was our governor, you know that
Speaker 1: being the president. Mike huck could be was our governor
Speaker 1: and he ended up running for president and being a
Speaker 1: big national figure. So the governor was always a big
Speaker 1: deal of Arkansas. And so you know, I said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm going to run. I really am serious about writing
Speaker 1: a political office. I know you are. I know I
Speaker 1: can see it in your eyes. You're serious. It's scary.
Speaker 1: Are you messing with me? No? No, it's scary because
Speaker 1: I know how serious you are and it and it
Speaker 1: scares me because that means that you're gonna put all
Speaker 1: your attention on that when this time comes. And then
Speaker 1: it's probably and then that's it's it for me. No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, it's not that unless I've become the consultant
Speaker 1: of you how you can go and do digital stuff
Speaker 1: and take pictures. Thanks, But I don't it. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I want to do it because I and
Speaker 1: I've talked on the podcast before, like I want to
Speaker 1: give the presidency a run, and so if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do the governor thing, I probably need to do it
Speaker 1: in the next eight or nine years. And one thing
Speaker 1: you allway said about the presidency is that you kind
Speaker 1: of feel like you need to be young while you're
Speaker 1: going to be the president. I think that there should
Speaker 1: be an age limit, not on the bottom side of
Speaker 1: the presidency, on the top side, because I think if
Speaker 1: you if you're over sixty five, you shouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to run president. Like, let's just go and cut that.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be because because you're just not thinking straight.
Speaker 1: Two things. One, you're you're just too old. You're probably
Speaker 1: know and you're probably not in touch with and it's
Speaker 1: not that you are. Right then, but let's stay in
Speaker 1: four years and then if you if you have a
Speaker 1: decent termament for you, you go eight years. So here
Speaker 1: you are, you're sixty five, you get in at sixty
Speaker 1: six or seventy four. A seventy four year old making
Speaker 1: a lot of decisions on everyday Americans. Most of them
Speaker 1: are way below seventy four. It's just weird because in
Speaker 1: history we look at the presidents and they look really
Speaker 1: but that's the thing with our country. We get so
Speaker 1: stuck into these patterns, in these traditions that we think
Speaker 1: we have to stay with it forever. So instead of
Speaker 1: there being it being thirty five whatever the minimum age
Speaker 1: is ruin the president, there shouldn't be a We should
Speaker 1: just have a law in America that says you're an adult.
Speaker 1: That's it, period, and you get all the adult things,
Speaker 1: all the adult options. So eighteen year old president, If
Speaker 1: you're eighteen and you want to run for president and
Speaker 1: you want to serve in war, and you want to
Speaker 1: buy alcohol and you want to buy a cigarettes and
Speaker 1: you want to gamble, if eighteen is the adult age,
Speaker 1: then it's just the adult age now. But we voted
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old and probably well we vote a
Speaker 1: seventy eight year old Hillary Clinton, and no, probably not
Speaker 1: because she's too old. Um, I mean she didn't win
Speaker 1: at seventy probably probably either, but because in reality it's
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. An eighteen year old and
Speaker 1: a seventy eight year old. Like absolutely that that was
Speaker 1: my point, and at least with an eighteen year old
Speaker 1: they can grow positively into it. Now, eighteen year old
Speaker 1: will never get elect it that we won't because they're
Speaker 1: not smart. But what if one comes along that it
Speaker 1: is eleven year old to graduate college right, and they
Speaker 1: get to go to m I T because they at
Speaker 1: eleven are smarter than people at forty. What if someone
Speaker 1: comes along who's nine years old and they really are
Speaker 1: at a level then none of us were even close
Speaker 1: to a thirty I mean, should they not be a consideration?
Speaker 1: Do we have to wait until the thirty five? Again,
Speaker 1: it's point one percent, there's not even a chance. But
Speaker 1: I do hate that there's an age element on the
Speaker 1: young side and not the old side. I just feel
Speaker 1: like me mentally, I'm never gonna be there, Like I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna look at an eighteen year old candidate or
Speaker 1: a nineteen year old candidate in bait and say, but
Speaker 1: did you ever think you look at a reality show
Speaker 1: host and go that president? No, that's my point. Until
Speaker 1: it happens, you don't know. You just don't know. And
Speaker 1: that's why I think that I don't think I can
Speaker 1: win the presidency, but I think I have a shot
Speaker 1: at it. I think if any anyone they can get
Speaker 1: to that point of running is in the race. And
Speaker 1: the whole key to being governor or president. Just get
Speaker 1: in the race and then see what shakes out and happens.
Speaker 1: So you think if you make it too you know,
Speaker 1: the election, Like if you're a candidate, I think if
Speaker 1: our candidate in two years, in two years, you think
Speaker 1: that if you don't get the presidency, if you don't
Speaker 1: get it first governor, Like, how far will you have
Speaker 1: to get for you to think that you made it.
Speaker 1: I did enough, I got I tried hard enough. You
Speaker 1: know I would have winning. Just keep you just keep going. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's running and I probably won't win
Speaker 1: the first time. If I run in two and a
Speaker 1: half years, I probably don't think I'm gonna run do
Speaker 1: it half years, by the way, there's a chance I
Speaker 1: put it, not a high chance. But let's say I
Speaker 1: have two and half years on this contract left with
Speaker 1: my heart and I hope to god, I signed another one.
Speaker 1: I love it here, I love the show, I love
Speaker 1: the listeners. But if they say, hey, listen, we're gonna
Speaker 1: go in a different direction instead of going over one
Speaker 1: of these other companies I want to hire me, I
Speaker 1: would probably just step out and go. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: I think I just want to run for politics and
Speaker 1: change my course of my life. And I don't say
Speaker 1: this jokingly. Um, and I don't have a party. I
Speaker 1: really don't have a party. And because I never felt
Speaker 1: I felt that, and I know you eventually you have
Speaker 1: to get one if you want the money. That's the problem. Yes,
Speaker 1: to get donors and they want supporters and because that's all,
Speaker 1: and you have to have a platform. Yes, this has
Speaker 1: showed us that. Unfortunately it doesn't matter now there aren't
Speaker 1: any rules. Someone just broke all the rules. Love them
Speaker 1: or hate him what He just broke all the rules
Speaker 1: and has shown you that you can break the rules
Speaker 1: and still win. Sure. Well, I'm just saying in past,
Speaker 1: like the Independent, you don't because but this Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is not a real Republican, right, He's debinitely not a Democrat.
Speaker 1: He used to be. He used to be a Democrat.
Speaker 1: He's had like three political parties. I think he just
Speaker 1: found the leads past path through resistance and design and
Speaker 1: went for it, and so's he and I don't either.
Speaker 1: And I'm on both sides with the different issues. Mostly
Speaker 1: on the social side, I would say, Eileen liberal, not all,
Speaker 1: but most on the yes. Like if I have zero
Speaker 1: problem with gay rights, I think if you want to
Speaker 1: be gay, dan gay, kiss gay, gay gay gay, that's
Speaker 1: just gay it up. I love it. I can't get
Speaker 1: enough of it. I do think people should leve their lives.
Speaker 1: And who am I am I judging you gay away?
Speaker 1: You welcome, buddy, I'm looking at you want to um.
Speaker 1: And so that being said, uh, you know, I also
Speaker 1: have guns and think you people should be able to
Speaker 1: have guns, and I don't think they should have bulletproof vests.
Speaker 1: But I just I'm not on one side on anything.
Speaker 1: And but but I say, uh, socially, I lean on
Speaker 1: the liberal side. Not all of me is liberal on
Speaker 1: the social side. But then on the fiscal side, like
Speaker 1: the money part of it. I grew up really poor
Speaker 1: and I've made to this point. I've been pretty successful
Speaker 1: by myself. And it's like man government. You know, I
Speaker 1: did a lot of work and I struggle for many
Speaker 1: years to get to why I'm down, and you're trying
Speaker 1: to take like almost everything. So I also would be
Speaker 1: a Republican if you looked at me from how government
Speaker 1: comes into our lives and works in our paychecks. And
Speaker 1: so I don't have a party, I don't have anyone
Speaker 1: that I identify with. But at the same time, I'm
Speaker 1: still for programs to help because I was on those programs.
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for as we mentioned earlier, government cheese
Speaker 1: and that the joke people used, I had that if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for welfare, I had that someone like me
Speaker 1: wouldn't anyway, I'm going to run for probits. I don't
Speaker 1: know when. And if they said, hey, you know, we're
Speaker 1: considering maybe not even having your show anymore, or we
Speaker 1: wanted to take a pack up, but like you know,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm just gonna go run for office, I
Speaker 1: could be completely content and happy with it. But if
Speaker 1: they do offer, you would love it. I love Yes,
Speaker 1: it's not a red new it would be a new contract.
Speaker 1: I love it here. I do not want to leave.
Speaker 1: But if the option was this, and let me tell you,
Speaker 1: there have been other companies, other platforms that are come said, hey,
Speaker 1: when your contract, that would love to hire you. I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna do that. I want to go
Speaker 1: and rump for office if I don't do this. This
Speaker 1: is my home. I've been with I Heart Radio. The
Speaker 1: company's changed the name, but since I was twenty one
Speaker 1: years old, fifteen years and through big changes, and I've
Speaker 1: always loved it. And people will give it a hard time,
Speaker 1: but they've always been so great to me. And Bob Pittman,
Speaker 1: our CEO, has been the greatest to me, and Rod
Speaker 1: and Tom, all these guys have been I have nothing
Speaker 1: bad to say. At times it's so it's so rare,
Speaker 1: and at times it's so big that sometimes you get lost.
Speaker 1: The benefits of working for a big company are that
Speaker 1: if you're successful, you're really successful. But if you're not,
Speaker 1: then you can get lost in the shuffle. And you know,
Speaker 1: when we first came over, and this will get back
Speaker 1: to a story about you and I, but we first
Speaker 1: came over to Nashville, a lot of people were upset
Speaker 1: with me because there had never been a nationally syndicated
Speaker 1: morning showing country in the format ever ever. So here
Speaker 1: I am this guy who people just go okay, here's
Speaker 1: this guy go, here's this guy coming from hip hop
Speaker 1: coming over to take the country. He but he ain't
Speaker 1: even old enough to drup for president. He's trying to
Speaker 1: do and so they don't know. They don't anything about me,
Speaker 1: right that they really don't. They just know what's on
Speaker 1: the service. So here I come over here and what
Speaker 1: sucks was it's business. It's not me. I didn't go, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'd like to take over the jobs of a d people.
Speaker 1: But if morning germs weren't performing to a certain level
Speaker 1: and they were making too much money, or there are
Speaker 1: a lot of these things. They had to make business decisions,
Speaker 1: and there's what's to find somebody and put them in
Speaker 1: the spot and whomever it was, because it wasn't me.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know the shop existed, by the way,
Speaker 1: until it was offered to me. I didn't know it
Speaker 1: existed really, And then I was like, of course I
Speaker 1: picked this after I knew because they gave me options.
Speaker 1: Do you wanna stay in graw syndication and taught fourty
Speaker 1: do you want to go and do alternative in l A.
Speaker 1: Do you want to do? I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to go do comedy, move to national and New Country
Speaker 1: because that's where my long term future that's most comfortable.
Speaker 1: And so um yeah, if everybody man basically no, I do.
Speaker 1: I remember that start to when when that was happening,
Speaker 1: when you know, you would gain them, we would gain
Speaker 1: a market or whatever, and that we would find out
Speaker 1: that a show that already existed got moved or at
Speaker 1: first it was forty dude, I remember, you would struggle
Speaker 1: with that. It feels terrible, man, like these guys they're
Speaker 1: not gonna have a job, or they got or they
Speaker 1: got moving afternoon afternoons or whatever. And that was okayish
Speaker 1: because they didn't get cut. And the company that I
Speaker 1: worked for now so much better about that. Back in
Speaker 1: the day, under a different regimen, they was like cut,
Speaker 1: good bye, piece out and you know what, that's still business.
Speaker 1: Sure it is in business about hugs and kisses. Um.
Speaker 1: But now with the company, they really nourished talent. And
Speaker 1: if if they're you know, radio people to the hate
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio, it's because they don't work for I Radio.
Speaker 1: That's really that's true. Um. But now it's most of
Speaker 1: the time, a lot of the times, if it's a
Speaker 1: show that's been there for a while, they moved them
Speaker 1: to the afternoons, they still get to their full show.
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I'd love to do afternoons. Oh dude,
Speaker 1: can you imagine coming in waking up a normal hour.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end updying early because the schedule, for sure,
Speaker 1: you've gotten ears taken off of It's like you've been
Speaker 1: doing this since you were what. Yeah, I compare myself
Speaker 1: to an NFL football player, which is hits to the head.
Speaker 1: You're gonna die early. You're just taking hits to the head.
Speaker 1: Know what you're doing. You're gonna have some fun right now,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna die early. Problem is, I'm not even
Speaker 1: having that much fun right now. Problem, but I hate it.
Speaker 1: I hate waking Number three, am Are you still tired
Speaker 1: all the time? All the time? I'm all the time,
Speaker 1: And part of me doing like eighty jobs is that one.
Speaker 1: I just have to continue to prove I don't suck
Speaker 1: and to listen there, Uh, let me let me time
Speaker 1: shape this and let me person and shade this. I
Speaker 1: got a buddy of mine, Okay, he went to a concert.
Speaker 1: It's been like eight months ago, and I feel like
Speaker 1: you can tell the story now. And this concert is
Speaker 1: up in the Northeast. He ran into a program director
Speaker 1: for another station that isn't an I Heeart radio station,
Speaker 1: and I'm on stations outside of my Heart Radio too,
Speaker 1: but that I'm not on the station and I'm not
Speaker 1: in the city. And he's like, hey, you know Bobby
Speaker 1: Bones right, and my friend is head but the other
Speaker 1: guy was drunk, really drunk. He's like, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: one of my good buds in the programs I'll do.
Speaker 1: I'll do a LaunchBox voice as the as the program
Speaker 1: d he was. I hate that guy. He's like, why
Speaker 1: he he just comes into our format, like like he
Speaker 1: knows everybody. I've been trying to be friends with Kenny
Speaker 1: Chesny for four years and he comes in and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, him and Kenny your buddies, and he's
Speaker 1: like calling him and stuff that's horse blank and my
Speaker 1: buddy's like no, But I think if you knew him,
Speaker 1: you would understand one who he isn't when he comes
Speaker 1: from and two that really there isn't anyone that works
Speaker 1: harder at having a diversified portfolio. And and he's like,
Speaker 1: I hate him. He's a real Nobody likes him. He's like,
Speaker 1: who else you say nobody who else. Yeah, Kenny probably
Speaker 1: just fights it so he can get it. I remember that.
Speaker 1: The thing about Eddie and I, we were Eddie was
Speaker 1: my TV producer for that's how we met. Yes, we met,
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even like we bumped into each other,
Speaker 1: like you were literally working in the TV station. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they assigned us together because you were you're kind
Speaker 1: of working on your intro to talent TV talent. Oh.
Speaker 1: I've done news for a bit out of college and
Speaker 1: I hated it. And I didn't college, but I didn't
Speaker 1: do it anywhere else. Yeah, and I would do local
Speaker 1: little thing for like Fox and the Local. But I
Speaker 1: was like, I want to do it every something every day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this was like a music station and and you
Speaker 1: had auditioned and they did and they picked you, and
Speaker 1: then they kind of teamed us up to work together
Speaker 1: and we did a music TV show we did every
Speaker 1: day every day. We shot at eleven am on the
Speaker 1: roof top for after your morning show. I would labor
Speaker 1: adio and go over to the TV station and Eddie
Speaker 1: and I would work. And then from that we did
Speaker 1: a late night talk show for a while and um,
Speaker 1: then that ended. Eddie and I got fired, except Eddie
Speaker 1: got fired, I haven't. I still haven't been fired this day.
Speaker 1: They never still get money from no, no, no. The
Speaker 1: only way, the only way that I knew that I
Speaker 1: was not working anymore when Eddie calling goes, hey, I
Speaker 1: got fired. I think they closed the station and I
Speaker 1: was like really, I was like, yeah, I'm gona on
Speaker 1: in front of the job and I was like what
Speaker 1: do I do? Goes, I don't know. I was like
Speaker 1: I don't know either. So no one ever called me
Speaker 1: from the TV station ever. It was a weird shutdown.
Speaker 1: They had just kind of called us in one day
Speaker 1: and was like, all right, we're setting down. That's it.
Speaker 1: It was like a network that was trying and didn't
Speaker 1: make it. Yeah. They had a bunch of investors, and
Speaker 1: I remember they were like maybe seven or eight solid
Speaker 1: investors that were putting money into this this project, a
Speaker 1: lot of Dell money, a lot of Dell money, and
Speaker 1: and they had kind of showed signs of like slowly
Speaker 1: a couple of investors pulling out. So we kind of
Speaker 1: had an idea. But when the when that stuff happens,
Speaker 1: the day that it happens, and they come call you
Speaker 1: in and say, like that's what your job's done. Dude.
Speaker 1: Well that's a crazy you feeling like what do you do?
Speaker 1: Like I did not prepare for this. I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do, and you you had a job. This
Speaker 1: is your side. That was your side, gig. So that
Speaker 1: was scary. And I had just I had just I
Speaker 1: guess Junior, my eight year old now was one. Then
Speaker 1: I remember Eddie coming out to me. We were on
Speaker 1: the rooftop and he goes, uh, my wat's pregnant. I
Speaker 1: was like, what the What I said to I was like,
Speaker 1: you can never have a kid. You're not going to
Speaker 1: ever be a good dad. That's what I thought too.
Speaker 1: And I remember the drive home when she told me like,
Speaker 1: come home, I got something to tell you, and I
Speaker 1: knew what it was. Uh, And that drive home, it
Speaker 1: was like in my head like you know those movies
Speaker 1: where someone's drowning and they like start flashing back their
Speaker 1: whole life. Yeah, it was like that. But I was
Speaker 1: looking forward, so I knew exactly what she was gonna
Speaker 1: tell me and so um, but it was like looking
Speaker 1: forward though, and I saw my life just like going
Speaker 1: from like you know, young dude, you think to like
Speaker 1: little League to like changing diapers to just my whole everything,
Speaker 1: to me pulling my pants up to my chest, going
Speaker 1: to home depot. So she called me and said, hey,
Speaker 1: so I I think you need to come home. I
Speaker 1: took a test. Oh so you she gave you the test.
Speaker 1: So she basically told you she did without telling me.
Speaker 1: What if the testso was not, then we would go
Speaker 1: get some of the champagne. No, no, no, no no, I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: what if it was like an AIDS test? Oh God,
Speaker 1: why would you say that. No, I'm just saying I
Speaker 1: don't think she can I took an AIDS test. Coming.
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is if all she said was test,
Speaker 1: my brain works different than yours. Yes, you're you're a
Speaker 1: very positive person, and you're like I was like, come
Speaker 1: and take a test and it for me. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: it was no. No, she already talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: being late and all that stuff. I had an idea, alright,
Speaker 1: So I'm just telling you that's what's wrong with me.
Speaker 1: My brain it always goes to the bad part. If
Speaker 1: there's the crevice and negativity in my brain, it finds it.
Speaker 1: I've worked in the last year and a half, a
Speaker 1: change in that two years and really pointing it in
Speaker 1: a positive direction the time. I can get that way,
Speaker 1: but sometimes I just go back and I wasn't that bad.
Speaker 1: But I mean dark spots. I go to a dark spots.
Speaker 1: So you thought that I was gonna be a bad
Speaker 1: dad as soon as you know, it was just you
Speaker 1: were just nuts. I was wasn't ready for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, but who is no one? That's the thing
Speaker 1: from everybody that I talked to. Because I don't have kids,
Speaker 1: You're not mentally ready, emotionally ready, financially ready, ever. So
Speaker 1: it's been it's been years and years for me to
Speaker 1: realize that. But I love it. Man, It's the best
Speaker 1: thing in the whole world. It's crazy. The Eddie Juniors
Speaker 1: eight about to be nine. I just remember the day
Speaker 1: you walked up to me and said, my wife's pregnantly,
Speaker 1: Like you gotta be kidding. Now I know you, And
Speaker 1: now you've got two kids. That's crazy. And one of
Speaker 1: them was in Austin born And then I was there
Speaker 1: at the hospital. I forget the baby. I watched Junior
Speaker 1: and I and I came to deliver, came to deliver
Speaker 1: the baby. Yeah, I was in there when they rolled
Speaker 1: at his wife and with the new baby, and I
Speaker 1: asked if you wanted to hold him, and you're like, nope,
Speaker 1: I'm out. It's I'm gonna tell you why, the same
Speaker 1: reason I don't hold fine pieces of art or expensive
Speaker 1: watches because you want to buy them. Nope, Because what
Speaker 1: if the one person chance I drop the thing? An
Speaker 1: that's true, I would kill you anywhere that like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk aunt, Like what am I gonna do?
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's cute, and it really would be cute,
Speaker 1: but what if anything happens wrong? It's on me insurance
Speaker 1: purpose from the national anthem? Ye, the national anthem. It's
Speaker 1: a no win. Nobody remembered you saying it. And if
Speaker 1: you do good, okay, cool, get out of the way,
Speaker 1: let's let the game start. Thank you for that. But
Speaker 1: if you do bad, it's all over the internet and
Speaker 1: it's like, this is the worst human number O win.
Speaker 1: So if they were asked us to do the national anthem,
Speaker 1: we say no, oh yeah, mostly because if we can't
Speaker 1: sing yes, that's like you're going to be bad. I
Speaker 1: wonder if we're the worst singers to ever turn it
Speaker 1: into quite the enterprise with the raging idiots. Probably it's
Speaker 1: probably us in Chase Rice. Huh no, dang, Maybe. I
Speaker 1: mean that guy's fine, but he you know, he he's
Speaker 1: you know, good looking dude. You know, it's not like
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Vocalist of the Year and he plays
Speaker 1: cruise and everything's all right. Yeah, but he doesn't go
Speaker 1: up there and act like he's trying to be the
Speaker 1: best singer. Right Listen. What I've learned about any sort
Speaker 1: of performing is it's just confidence. And you know, now
Speaker 1: I'm a confident person on stage anyway. But you know
Speaker 1: who I learned like musical confidence from and not worry
Speaker 1: messing up is Lindsay because she'd be like, who, nobody's
Speaker 1: paying attention anyway if you mess It's true. I remember
Speaker 1: at the beginning when we were playing, we'd mess up
Speaker 1: and we'd make a deal out like I'd look at
Speaker 1: you or you look at me, come on, man, And
Speaker 1: it was just Eddie and I were playing restaurants. It's
Speaker 1: like a little awkward for people to watch that, but
Speaker 1: we would call each other out, like on stage on
Speaker 1: our two parodies that we and the rest of it.
Speaker 1: I remember we might Austin once, like we played for
Speaker 1: like three they wouldn't let us stop playing. They just
Speaker 1: didn't stop us. And it was and it's not that
Speaker 1: we knew. This is like three years ago and man
Speaker 1: first started and this isn't this is the first cardination
Speaker 1: of the band. Now, I'm gonna say we're really good
Speaker 1: because we surround ourselves with fantastic people. If there's a
Speaker 1: raging idiot show, I would tell people now. And I asked,
Speaker 1: I tell our bosses, come come. You used to would
Speaker 1: be like stay away. Now it's like come because you're
Speaker 1: gonna be blown away because we know how to do
Speaker 1: a show now and neither one of us have. And
Speaker 1: by the way that I say, I don't have lead
Speaker 1: singer disease, I don't have to sing even have the song.
Speaker 1: I don't care. As long as people having fun, I
Speaker 1: don't care. But Eddie was impossible to get him to sing, period.
Speaker 1: And you're the actual good singer. Well yes, but because
Speaker 1: I played guitar and I didn't want to sing. That
Speaker 1: was your job when it was just us. But I
Speaker 1: didn't care, but I would get it. I was like, Eddie,
Speaker 1: I have no issue. What do you sing? A matter
Speaker 1: of fact, please sing? No, I get it. But it
Speaker 1: just felt like if I was gonna sing and play guitar,
Speaker 1: then you were just gonna stand there. And I was good.
Speaker 1: I was fine with that though. I felt like, to me,
Speaker 1: it's like the radio show. I don't have to be
Speaker 1: the person. All the stories are about a matter of fact.
Speaker 1: I like it. Whenever Amy's got great stuff, youve got
Speaker 1: great stuff I have. I don't have host disease where
Speaker 1: everything's got to be about me, because actually I like
Speaker 1: for someone else to have drama. Me just comment on it.
Speaker 1: That's kind of my favorite thing to do. So that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the weird thing about the Raging Idiots. And we
Speaker 1: played Tampa this last weekend and three thousand people packed
Speaker 1: and it was a fantastic show. And the weirdest thing is,
Speaker 1: I know every show they're going to get on Instagram
Speaker 1: be like, m I don't know if that's worth the money,
Speaker 1: but they're like, that was the greatst show ever. And
Speaker 1: I'm stunned by it. Still me too, I really am.
Speaker 1: And I think it's so cool to hear people still
Speaker 1: that haven't seen the show say like, yeah, I wonder
Speaker 1: what that's about. I just don't get it. I don't
Speaker 1: get what you guys do really, and then you listen
Speaker 1: to them after the show and they're just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. Or the husbands that come with the
Speaker 1: watch that's my favorite, and they're like, hey, I don't
Speaker 1: even want to be here. Look what people before the
Speaker 1: show would be like, I don't even want to be here.
Speaker 1: And you can tell she drugged the husband with her. Oh, Mike,
Speaker 1: it's obvious. There's just like they're they're bitter, and by
Speaker 1: the end of it, he's a bigger fan than she was.
Speaker 1: That he's like, you'll tweet us, and I don't know
Speaker 1: who you guys were. I love never listen to the
Speaker 1: radio show. Loved it. Um that that's fun. It's been
Speaker 1: a fun run. Do you have Do you have fun? Not?
Speaker 1: Not so much anymore. Really, it's okay, I just am not.
Speaker 1: I will say this. I haven't proved the singer about
Speaker 1: for sure. It's just a It's like anything else. You
Speaker 1: just practice. You're doing it over and over and over.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get better because at first I had no
Speaker 1: idea how to sing, and now I've hit the wall
Speaker 1: of how good I can sing. But I have more
Speaker 1: confidence and I kind of know spots where I'm good
Speaker 1: and when to back off and not going to hit
Speaker 1: it and what songs not to do and to give
Speaker 1: over to, you know, Lindsay or Natalie. Are you um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's it's funny because we don't talk about
Speaker 1: this stuff like you and I never talked about like, hey,
Speaker 1: how was that show? Like did you never do we don't.
Speaker 1: We just we just kind of do it and then
Speaker 1: we move on. Yeah, it's like okay, But but it's
Speaker 1: interesting because I, like, I've always wanted to know, like
Speaker 1: you're still having fun, You're still tired, You're tired, I'm
Speaker 1: over it over Yeah. I was excited about these last
Speaker 1: four shows because they were fun shows. I couldn't wait
Speaker 1: for that. This second leg of the Florida run, like
Speaker 1: the Tampa show was been, I knew it was gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome. I can't wait too. Albuquerque. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: fun because it's so like crazy. It means the people
Speaker 1: that are passionate, and so that's gonna be fun. The
Speaker 1: Vegas is fun because people in Vegas they just turn
Speaker 1: out like crazy. They do. If the people are like
Speaker 1: if there's a ton of people that want to come,
Speaker 1: I'm pumped about it. If it's a struggle and there's
Speaker 1: like people, boy, how jaded are we? There are artists
Speaker 1: that would kill people, I know, but we we just
Speaker 1: it's like a ball and it's been a weird snowball.
Speaker 1: It's been a weird snowball. And when it's when it
Speaker 1: gets smaller, you're just like, wait, what's happening. It's like,
Speaker 1: I didn't do this to be an artist. So if
Speaker 1: we're gonna go backward, I was gonna back out. But
Speaker 1: I've become tired and the whole and I like our
Speaker 1: band a lot, but it's just a lot of people.
Speaker 1: It is a lot of people, and I haven't to
Speaker 1: manage a lot of people. Dude. It's just crazy because
Speaker 1: we've really just started with three of us, you, me
Speaker 1: and just just me and you was on the stage
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I just mean on the road now, and
Speaker 1: then Justin would drive us around yeah, and honest to God,
Speaker 1: and went to Tampa. I looked at the amount of
Speaker 1: people that are with us the deep like an entourage
Speaker 1: fifteen because it was Eddie and I, Natalie Stove all
Speaker 1: in Nikita that's the front four, and Brandon Ray was
Speaker 1: playing guitar and singing too. So there's five are drummer
Speaker 1: Matha Brown, our bassist Ryan Their seven our background singer
Speaker 1: a mod again, we're just our trainer is just everybody
Speaker 1: like these are all our friends who like, hey, come
Speaker 1: out on the road, let's make a show. There's eight.
Speaker 1: Just in the suit is nine Tim head of security
Speaker 1: is ten Y Forest, My manager is eleven. Zach who
Speaker 1: was doing video videography was twelve. Mike might signs again.
Speaker 1: Just a friend who lives in Dallas becomes It was thirteen.
Speaker 1: Who else was there? I think that's it's we're forgetting people.
Speaker 1: Because there were fifteen people with us, Yes, because I
Speaker 1: counted them. I was like, we're filth. What you counted
Speaker 1: us too? I think soles. There were a lot of us,
Speaker 1: and so I think for me, it's like the sound
Speaker 1: checks for an hour long Yeah, you don't what Friday's.
Speaker 1: Fridays are hard. You wake up at three am, you
Speaker 1: don't get a bed to one and you don't recover,
Speaker 1: and Saturday night you're doing it too, and Sunday to
Speaker 1: travel day and you're back on the air. I mean basically,
Speaker 1: it's like twenty eight days on in two days off.
Speaker 1: It's weird because I've always dreamt of this, Like, but
Speaker 1: you dremped up without doing a radio show all morning, correct,
Speaker 1: got treat of it, not having a full time job.
Speaker 1: It's been but but I'm not complaining because that's why
Speaker 1: we do it, why we're able to do it. And
Speaker 1: I love them both as much, like they're just love
Speaker 1: the radio show more you do. I love the radio
Speaker 1: show the most. I love doing stand up a close second,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, but the raging idiot stuff, it was
Speaker 1: just something that came out of nowhere. I just got bigger, bigger, bigger.
Speaker 1: But what I love about raging Idiots is that on
Speaker 1: the radio show, we talk and people listen, but we
Speaker 1: don't see them raging idiots. We get to meet and
Speaker 1: see the people that we talked to every morning, and
Speaker 1: to have them like come back and say, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: like I loved it when you said this, or I
Speaker 1: love it that you're always about this or whatever, like
Speaker 1: that's cool because I remember the first time that happened.
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize We're flying across the country to
Speaker 1: show and they're real people to listen to the show.
Speaker 1: That's been a really great part of it because again,
Speaker 1: it put you. When you go back in the studio
Speaker 1: Monday morning, you know who you're doing, Realize it's it's
Speaker 1: real faces instead of just walking in out of the studio.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's been a big part of it. Yes,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm ready for a break. And that's why
Speaker 1: next year we were gonna, I say break as I
Speaker 1: go on a full stand up tour. Yeah, dude, you're
Speaker 1: about to get January through. But but then there's no
Speaker 1: sound check. I don't have a band, and I don't
Speaker 1: have to you know, band members to pay. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just so much less and I find more satisfaction
Speaker 1: in that because there's not a ceiling for me in
Speaker 1: stand up. I'm growing, I'm writing, I don't have to sing.
Speaker 1: I can tell jokes and come up with things, and
Speaker 1: that's what I'm much better at. So anyway, all that,
Speaker 1: I don't know how we get in that layer. But um,
Speaker 1: I can remember Eddie and I've been on the golf
Speaker 1: course in Austin. I was like, hey, dude, um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna move to Nashville. I'm gonna do a show, national show,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go do country and Eddie and I
Speaker 1: what our thing was even before this, we would drive
Speaker 1: rapid on iHeart Radio or back then Pandora. People still
Speaker 1: live in to Pandora. I never hear I don't really
Speaker 1: anybody even talk about Pandora anymore. Um and if they're
Speaker 1: if listen to Pandora, shout out. But um, before I
Speaker 1: Heart was big, it was even Pandora, and we would
Speaker 1: put it on the nineties country station. We played name
Speaker 1: that tune, all golf, all for four because that was
Speaker 1: our favorite kind of music, like the nineties and early
Speaker 1: two thousand country. And to be quite honest with you,
Speaker 1: that phase of like two thousand five to two thousand twelve,
Speaker 1: we were like, this kind of sucks. I just didn't
Speaker 1: know it. So we have you know, mostly we knew
Speaker 1: the good, good stuff and the huge stuff, but it
Speaker 1: just wasn't our cup of tea. And so like most people,
Speaker 1: our age, our glory days was that nineties two thousand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Garden mcgrals even like the Sawyer Brown said that
Speaker 1: weren't as big, but had you know, a few big
Speaker 1: hits all of that. Right, So we read, you know,
Speaker 1: we're in the golf course one day and don't let's
Speaker 1: not say what song it is, what and I was like,
Speaker 1: I really want to do this because I feel like
Speaker 1: I can influence a format, and so we go. And
Speaker 1: growing up in Arkansas, that's what we had was country.
Speaker 1: It was an alternative kid too, but and hip hop
Speaker 1: kid later on in my day, like high school day.
Speaker 1: But we were listening to the song and it was
Speaker 1: on the Big NINETYA in Nashville, and we're like, this
Speaker 1: song sucks. We can't move to Nashville and do this
Speaker 1: because the songs sucks so bad. I remember thinking like,
Speaker 1: how are how are you going to do that? I
Speaker 1: don't I didn't know, and for a minute I thought
Speaker 1: about not doing it because the song sucks so bad.
Speaker 1: It was played on radio and I was like, Eddie,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know right now. And to
Speaker 1: be fair, that song I don't hear no never never
Speaker 1: just never gets. But it is by a big artist. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a big artist that everyone knows. But this song
Speaker 1: and this artist now is it makes really good music,
Speaker 1: which is ironic. Yeah, it makes really good music. And
Speaker 1: you can guess we're not gonna answer you yes or no.
Speaker 1: I see your wills turning. Who would you think it was?
Speaker 1: That's by by saying that you don't have a guess
Speaker 1: a song because you want to know the song. No, um,
Speaker 1: We're good to say no, but so you can't guess
Speaker 1: anymore because if it is yes, we're not gonna say.
Speaker 1: But there was a song and it was playing. We
Speaker 1: were listening to my heart. We were playing the University
Speaker 1: of Texas golf course. No no, no, we were in Yeah.
Speaker 1: We were great rock man. I used to play golf
Speaker 1: is crazy every day, so every day. I haven't played
Speaker 1: in years now, But that's when I had time back
Speaker 1: in the day. And if we didn't have time, we
Speaker 1: made time. Eddie would leave work and live ab shooting
Speaker 1: news and be like, gotta go cover nine homicides, see
Speaker 1: you in four hours, come back. It was a non story,
Speaker 1: guess fake um. But we heard this song and we
Speaker 1: were like, this is terrible. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: can do it. And we talked about it for a
Speaker 1: bit and we were to listen, and it was like,
Speaker 1: let's just go and see if we can kind of
Speaker 1: be part of how the direction it's going while keeping
Speaker 1: it somewhat the same. And because even I know and
Speaker 1: people that annoy me the most are the people they're
Speaker 1: like well that any country, just because it's said every
Speaker 1: single generation of music. And there are things that I
Speaker 1: don't understand. They're like money. I don't know anything about money, right, no,
Speaker 1: nothing anything. I grow poor, don't. I have people now
Speaker 1: that I just trust and they know what they're with
Speaker 1: with all money and so. But people also, you know,
Speaker 1: they'll be talking about money. But but I'm making a
Speaker 1: comment like, well that's stupid. Really, I don't know anything.
Speaker 1: When someone goes out in country, I go, okay, well
Speaker 1: they're stupid about that. Like money, they don't understand that
Speaker 1: if it stayed the same, it would die because if
Speaker 1: it stayed exactly the same, if people were like, well
Speaker 1: I like my country, like Merle and I like my
Speaker 1: if it stayed exactly like that, it would be like
Speaker 1: the sawmill in my town. My town is dying because
Speaker 1: the sawmill is dead. And eventually people age out of it,
Speaker 1: and people would age out of the format, and they
Speaker 1: would the same people like that nobody knew would come
Speaker 1: into would be very few. Nothing is regional anymore in music,
Speaker 1: and the reason the country was so regional in that
Speaker 1: southeast and the California side was because there wasn't the
Speaker 1: ability to get it out. And it's weird to me
Speaker 1: that older people struggle with this because I would think
Speaker 1: that they would. They would have have experienced all the
Speaker 1: changes in music before and seen it like cash and cash,
Speaker 1: like all of the Beatles, even even the seventies stuff,
Speaker 1: the Zeppelin. Yes, everything had to evolve to become what
Speaker 1: it is today. We even had to experience hair metal
Speaker 1: as not even as as pop pop music for things
Speaker 1: to change, and grunge had to come in. And like,
Speaker 1: so when people go well that in country, I automatically
Speaker 1: think they're dumb about that subject. They may be brilliant
Speaker 1: about something else. I only have money, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: that's stupid. I would you invest in that I have
Speaker 1: no idea talking about and something and someone I can
Speaker 1: look at me and go, Okay, you're really stupid about this.
Speaker 1: And maybe I don't think I am at the time,
Speaker 1: but I am right. And so when we will go
Speaker 1: with that in country, I go, Okay, you're just not
Speaker 1: intelligent on how popular cult your works. And if you
Speaker 1: want country music to die as a format, then it
Speaker 1: will stay the same. I do know what they're saying,
Speaker 1: though they're the one that they don't enjoy the direction
Speaker 1: it's going. Correct, there are sometimes I don't enjoy the
Speaker 1: direction it's going, and I'm like, this sucks. Even on
Speaker 1: the air now, some of the stuff we play sucks.
Speaker 1: But I also understand that the market dictates the format,
Speaker 1: and that's just a business part of it. If you
Speaker 1: want to hear someone play an acoustic guitar in a
Speaker 1: barn with the cowboy hat, you can find that. And
Speaker 1: if you want Willie Nelson, go listen to Willie Nelson.
Speaker 1: If you want Merle, there's a ton of Morral out there,
Speaker 1: you can have a download. Somebody told me I don't
Speaker 1: even remember who it was, but that we were talking
Speaker 1: about the raging idiots and I was talking about how
Speaker 1: bad we are and I don't know how we've got
Speaker 1: this record deal? Were how we were, yeah, and and
Speaker 1: how we got the record deal and all that, And
Speaker 1: I remember them telling me specifically, that's the beauty of
Speaker 1: this format is that there is room for every thing.
Speaker 1: Like it's not about you think you're bad, but obviously
Speaker 1: you're good because people are listening. There's something that was
Speaker 1: something that resonates, right, And so they were just saying
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it that like some people may
Speaker 1: not like it, but somebody does. And that's the beauty
Speaker 1: of it. There's a room, so much room, and you
Speaker 1: don't think of it because then I think you made
Speaker 1: a comparison one time about like they're being room. Oh
Speaker 1: what I said, we're on the road. I said country
Speaker 1: music is turning into Top forty. Not musically because Sophifortic
Speaker 1: changes to always soft, is always changing boy bands, hair metal,
Speaker 1: hip hop, head his top sometimes countries country big time, right,
Speaker 1: So what I said was country is turning into kind
Speaker 1: of a hits country format, meaning you're gonna have the
Speaker 1: top couple of traditional artists, You're gonna have the top
Speaker 1: couple new age. This sucks. That really is kind of catchy,
Speaker 1: you know, pop sounding country music artists. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: the top kind of like bluesy country artists like this.
Speaker 1: And that's what The country format is going to be
Speaker 1: a bunch of sub formats and the main country format
Speaker 1: is going to be the winner of all the sub
Speaker 1: formats at the time. But there will be room for everything, yes,
Speaker 1: and they'll be breakouts and they'll be sub formats. You've
Speaker 1: are you already seeing that with these older formats like
Speaker 1: Cumulus has Nash stations that are not old people. You
Speaker 1: know that we like the nineties people and they're old.
Speaker 1: Now we've even started stuff the icon, you know stuff,
Speaker 1: So you're seeing sub formats. But anytime you hear someone
Speaker 1: go without any country, just realize they're an idiot about
Speaker 1: music and they are really hoping the format dies because
Speaker 1: you know what, it's not the country maybe that you're
Speaker 1: used to. But just because you're not used to it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're right. And if I had to understand it,
Speaker 1: but myself too, just because it doesn't mean it's not
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's a universal truth. Because I feel
Speaker 1: a way about That's how we started. That's changed thinking
Speaker 1: that way with country. Before we got here, we had
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we were like this sucks because we're had
Speaker 1: no idea. And now this this is not shando, We're
Speaker 1: out come on. Now I love it. Now I'm like
Speaker 1: choosing country music over other genres. Yeah, me too, six
Speaker 1: the time. Some of it really sucks and some of
Speaker 1: the artists are really awful people. But but but only
Speaker 1: we know that that's true. But there are some really
Speaker 1: good people to but yeah, some of them are real dicks.
Speaker 1: Did I like this radio show. Oh the thing is,
Speaker 1: our bosses don't even listen to this. I can say
Speaker 1: whatever I want, like people, nobody listens. I mean our
Speaker 1: listeners listen. It is in my house, it is you
Speaker 1: shut that mouth, so sorry, but yeah, nobody especially I
Speaker 1: want you to get like more than minutes. No Bostons.
Speaker 1: But that's the point where they just draw. They dropped
Speaker 1: it like eight or nine. But let's say that they're
Speaker 1: on a run or something, you know, let's do what
Speaker 1: are talking about the mother. Let me tell you about
Speaker 1: this guy. We were out we're playing in Tamba this
Speaker 1: last weekend and Brandon Ray, who's done one of these before.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you that guy can sing his
Speaker 1: butt off. He doesn't have a deal yet, and I
Speaker 1: think it's he's got to find kind of a song.
Speaker 1: Everybody needs a song, and so he doesn't have a
Speaker 1: deal yet. But when it just comes to singing and playing,
Speaker 1: the dude's phenomenal. He's got, you know, taking on a
Speaker 1: crowd and like grabbing him and just getting him sing
Speaker 1: every word to a song. That's hard and he's good
Speaker 1: at that. He and you should listen back if you
Speaker 1: haven't listened to the Brandon Ray Bobby cast like he's
Speaker 1: really really good and so he's also someone I didn't
Speaker 1: think I would like. That's funny you say that, because
Speaker 1: I didn't like him at all. For about thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm never gonna like this guy with
Speaker 1: hair Jael and Jeane Jackets and and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is not the kind of guy I would Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm in love with you is He's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite people in the world. It's like text with I
Speaker 1: don't basically you Lindsay am Brandon Amy less and less
Speaker 1: um brand because she has she's always on like Haiti
Speaker 1: or some third world country health or um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so anyway, love Brandon. This is a story. So we're
Speaker 1: on stage and Brandon Ray's run this Alan Jackson T
Speaker 1: shirt last weekend. He was so proud like he was
Speaker 1: and I don't know why, but Brandon was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: everybody in the crowd, and remember there are three thousand
Speaker 1: people in this theater and there aren't screens. No, it's
Speaker 1: just the stage. It's just the stage. So if you're
Speaker 1: back but behind Road twenty, you're probably not gonna see
Speaker 1: a shirt anyway. If you're in the upper deck, probably
Speaker 1: not seeing a shirt and he's he's doing a song
Speaker 1: and you introduced him. I was like, anyway, I wanna
Speaker 1: wanna one of my friends have been playing guitar. Here
Speaker 1: he has Brandon Ray, and Brandon Ray is kind of
Speaker 1: like the upper cut, like we've been killing them, right,
Speaker 1: We've having so much fun during the show that Brendan
Speaker 1: just kills them and sings his brains out right and
Speaker 1: he's like, do you like my Alan Jackson shirt? And
Speaker 1: then cauds like yeah. It's like who looks Alan Jackson?
Speaker 1: And they're like yeah. And then he goes, I got lost,
Speaker 1: so aforia and then he hits it and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, this starts to play and we're like why
Speaker 1: is bon Job playing? We're like what? And I'm like, Brandon,
Speaker 1: I said, you gotta stopped. Stopped at music for a second. Stopped.
Speaker 1: I was like, Brandon, stop playing for a second. It's like,
Speaker 1: give what's up? I said, you can't get people going
Speaker 1: by who loves Allen Jackson and then play bon Jobi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he said, but they like it. Let's let him
Speaker 1: vote who they like more or like no, First of all,
Speaker 1: we don't want to crowd to vote for or against
Speaker 1: Alan Jackson's job. We just don't want that. What is
Speaker 1: there to have fun? So I say it, we're in
Speaker 1: Florida too. I'm like, they're tired of voting in Florida.
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like no one got that joke.
Speaker 1: You know, it was in the I got it. It
Speaker 1: wasn't even stand up comedy now, it wasn't. It was
Speaker 1: just the show, right. And so he plays a song
Speaker 1: and he kills it and the crowd singing everywhere, and
Speaker 1: then at the end, I'm like, dude, you gotta play
Speaker 1: Allen Jackson now, just so people don't get angry. And
Speaker 1: so we played Chattahoochie. We try to play Chattahogie. We tried.
Speaker 1: We played Chattahoochie and like a really low key because
Speaker 1: we didn't We've never done that song before. So he
Speaker 1: starts singing. It's just like this is terrible and show.
Speaker 1: It was like, what's Alan Jackson? Yeah, there's a little
Speaker 1: song by the Beatles. We're like, wait, what the you
Speaker 1: all see my shirt? Do you see it? Was like, row,
Speaker 1: I don't see it. This is Alan Jackson. Do you
Speaker 1: love him? Let me hear you say, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: here's a little something now up in my favorite band Lit.
Speaker 1: That That that that that that Lit is awesome. Do
Speaker 1: you remember our long, our long argument over Lit? Yeah,
Speaker 1: over my head, I'm in over my head. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you're singing some for you one. I'm singing Lit. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you have it? Play it ten years from now.
Speaker 1: There's not something to settle. They both have a song
Speaker 1: called over my but the song I was singing was
Speaker 1: LIT about the song I was singing with some forty
Speaker 1: one and we're like, who sings over my Head? And
Speaker 1: we got a huge fight over it. I think we
Speaker 1: agreed to disagree on that one. But no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they both have a song. I know, I know. Do
Speaker 1: you do you argue a lot everyone? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: if people want me to, I do. I get paid
Speaker 1: to argue, So I don't care. I got you. I don't.
Speaker 1: I can get nothing to say. Okay, and Lindsay and
Speaker 1: I talk a lot about music, and it's never argument though,
Speaker 1: it's just discussion. Yeah, because that was a long argument.
Speaker 1: That but there was my arguments. There is no argument
Speaker 1: because they both have a song called over my Head.
Speaker 1: My argument was I was right, no, because because I
Speaker 1: originally sang the LIT version and then you said, nice, dude,
Speaker 1: some forty one song. I'm like, no, it's lit. You
Speaker 1: didn't sing it very well. Then I'm man over my head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: see no, still it sounds like lit to me. Here's
Speaker 1: let's screen. I don't need the screen. Turn that around.
Speaker 1: This is called over my head and this is a
Speaker 1: song that I know, and you're singing over my head.
Speaker 1: One thing that Eddie when we did it's the longest
Speaker 1: because of music too. We did that was how we
Speaker 1: fell in love. You're a favorite band, Pearl Jam. Pearl
Speaker 1: Jam my favorite band. Since let's do this. Let's do
Speaker 1: non country in the country. Okay, favorite, let's go stay
Speaker 1: out of country. Don't put anybody County into your country.
Speaker 1: Top three artists non country go Pearl Jam Number one one,
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam. Okay, that's kind of a song that's not
Speaker 1: been in their songs. But but I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: one of those guys that like says like, oh, I
Speaker 1: like Pearl Jam, and I only like the song that
Speaker 1: you don't know. I like them all like better Man
Speaker 1: is probably my favorite Pearl Jam song. That's my favorite program.
Speaker 1: I'll see, that's why we dated. I mean better Man,
Speaker 1: it's awesome, dude. It was on Vertigo Hytology and Boggs
Speaker 1: was on by Bugs Bugs. Better Man funny story, Dude, dude,
Speaker 1: this is a dude. We're like, I love geeking out
Speaker 1: over this stuff and my kids hate it, my wife
Speaker 1: hates it, but this is what I do. Better Man
Speaker 1: was written by Eddie Eddie Vetter who's the lead singer
Speaker 1: of Pearl Jam in his first band, Temple Dog. No
Speaker 1: before then it was called bad Radio. Do you know
Speaker 1: Temple Dog was Pearl Jam without Eddie Vetter? You don't
Speaker 1: know that. It's like Pearl Jam with the Chris Cornell
Speaker 1: and Sound Garden drummer. You know that? Yeah, you go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it was a song that he had written way
Speaker 1: before Pearl Jam and three albums in which is Vitology.
Speaker 1: He's just like, I got this old song, like we
Speaker 1: could bring it back. This was the only one of
Speaker 1: Vitology that made any difference for people. They did win
Speaker 1: a Grammy though for last Exit, I think or dropped
Speaker 1: the kneed. Is there a song called what's this song called?
Speaker 1: They they want a Grammy? It was like a pitty
Speaker 1: Grammy because of an album they put up before. Because
Speaker 1: oh they had put up like great albums like ten
Speaker 1: Versus with all these awesome songs in it. I mean
Speaker 1: last Exit was on It's not last anyway, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because the record as a whole wasn't that good.
Speaker 1: Spin the Black Circle and and everyone was just like,
Speaker 1: what is that song? And that was their first and
Speaker 1: only Grammy and they were just like for a record
Speaker 1: that really wasn't anything. I love better Man Now Better
Speaker 1: Man is my favorite song. Alright, that's favorite. Um, I'll
Speaker 1: go Bob Dylan, what a thing to say? Why Bob
Speaker 1: Dylan sucks to you? Bob Dylan's Bob Dylan to me
Speaker 1: is Tupac, and you in Tupac sucks. Tupac culturally humongous,
Speaker 1: made such a difference culturally, uh Now, and I like
Speaker 1: Tupac's music better and Bob Dylan stuffs. I just Bob
Speaker 1: Dylan mused sonically. I'm not into Bolved. I haven't read
Speaker 1: his book. I love Bob Dylan's story, and I love
Speaker 1: the fact that what Bob Dylan did the culture of
Speaker 1: music and how he changed and he went from unplugged
Speaker 1: to plug now. But he hated his gut So interesting
Speaker 1: to me, yes, all of it so in his music.
Speaker 1: I have National Skyline, like I have the record, the record,
Speaker 1: record record. To me, I just am not into the
Speaker 1: music A Bob Dyland. Yeah, I love that stuff, and
Speaker 1: I love his older stuff. This this folk stuff that
Speaker 1: like he did like before. This is one of the
Speaker 1: stuff that I like. Like I like the hits these
Speaker 1: were Rolling Stone nil Zine, Like, I'm such a poser
Speaker 1: with Bob Dylan that this is what this is not
Speaker 1: even what you like, Like I like Na Na Knocking
Speaker 1: on Heavens do. Yeah, that's older. And also I like
Speaker 1: him acoustically doing like, don't think twice. It's all right,
Speaker 1: that's why you're cool. No, I'm not. That's just what
Speaker 1: I like. I say cool as a compliment. You're cool
Speaker 1: because you I don't think. I don't think you call
Speaker 1: people cool as if you're a genuine Bob Dylan fan.
Speaker 1: You're cool as you know. I can the kind of delians.
Speaker 1: I do think that's cool because you you Bob Dylan's music.
Speaker 1: And I love the fact that I live in Nashville
Speaker 1: now and I you know, he spends so much time
Speaker 1: here and he changed the sound here. I'm not into it,
Speaker 1: all right, I get it. I get it, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are gives Bob Dylan a
Speaker 1: bad name. A lot of people are posers, they give
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan a bad name. Like I love Bob Dylan,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hmmm, Nama song is not a hit,
Speaker 1: how about the times they are changing? Now? Still hit?
Speaker 1: So I respect that you're a Bob Dylan, a literal Bobdylon.
Speaker 1: Now I'm a fan of what Bob Dylan did culturally
Speaker 1: and again changed a lot everything Like, but I get
Speaker 1: his music. To me, this isn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: It's like Mozart, like awesome, Awesome does not suck. Change
Speaker 1: the game doesn't suck, just not into it. Understand the
Speaker 1: importance Tupac. I likes music a little better than I
Speaker 1: do the other than the other guys. But Tupac culturally
Speaker 1: was a big deal and he changed the game. So um,
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan to me is Tupac. Okay, okay, what else?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a number three? And that's Jimmy Buffett. Now. Now,
Speaker 1: now he could be considered country, but he because Margaritaville
Speaker 1: was kind of like a Nashville hit. But he's not country.
Speaker 1: But Jimmy Buffett, and these are all like change, these
Speaker 1: are all periods in my life too, Like this was
Speaker 1: huge for me. Oh, just all Jimmy Buffett stuff because
Speaker 1: I lived kind of by the beach a little bit
Speaker 1: and that was like my beach phase. All the music.
Speaker 1: I love Water pave Water. Yeah that's fair, and but
Speaker 1: you love Buffett. But Eddie and I went. I took
Speaker 1: Eddie to watch Jimmy Bufet a charity event once and
Speaker 1: it was probably wander people there and Eddie to the
Speaker 1: top of the rod. I was like, I'm so bored, dude.
Speaker 1: I was like front row just jamming every song, and
Speaker 1: I'm and here's the Jimmy Buffett story. So I've actually
Speaker 1: met and hung out with Jimmy Buffett. Like I don't like,
Speaker 1: I don't like this story on a personal level. I
Speaker 1: actually hate this story. And he's super kind, and I
Speaker 1: I don't justslike Jimmy Buffett. I don't just like Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, as far as like big fans go,
Speaker 1: I'm not if their music, Like I like he's Burgerdi
Speaker 1: Like that's fun to me, but I wouldn't rest it myself.
Speaker 1: Come on, but I went and I met Bob Dylan. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that would have been cool and super kind, and was
Speaker 1: wearing I see this hold on, this is like pulling
Speaker 1: the veil like, this is like revealing the veil behind. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't like this. You don't run the wizard. You're
Speaker 1: ruining the wizard here. But it's just kind of something
Speaker 1: that you told me once. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to know that. So I went and Jimmy
Speaker 1: a friend and I and I a friend who knows
Speaker 1: Jimmy was like, let's go hang out a tear hanging
Speaker 1: out back and he was in his hotel and we
Speaker 1: hung out like an hour and just chit chatting. And
Speaker 1: he was wearing pretty much a suit and a button
Speaker 1: up shirt and nice shoes. And my buddy was like,
Speaker 1: I rarely see you like in these kind of clothes.
Speaker 1: He goes, Oh, we're the clothes all the time. I
Speaker 1: just put that stupid crap. I want to go on stage.
Speaker 1: And Eddie hated at the story, was like what he
Speaker 1: wasn't wearing flip flops and I eat sponge cake. Sponge
Speaker 1: cake with Margarito, dude, that's so heartbreaking. He was really nice, yes,
Speaker 1: and that matter. He's really rich and stuff, and like
Speaker 1: I jimm buffet Networth, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: It's just Jimmy buff net Worth over under a hundred million,
Speaker 1: a hundred million, a hundred million, a hundred million over
Speaker 1: I think over to go over Jimmy Buffett Networth going
Speaker 1: to Mike d R producer not too much, but over you. Oh,
Speaker 1: I say it is that close to half a billion?
Speaker 1: Just guessing that's a lot of money what he got
Speaker 1: Mike d Jimmy Buffett Networth on Google is right, he's
Speaker 1: almost at half a bill Yeah, not half a billion,
Speaker 1: not a bill a bi billion dude? That what? And god,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. He's got all those restaurants too, I guess,
Speaker 1: and beers and and probably stuff. We have no idea.
Speaker 1: You're right about rich people. They investment. The most great
Speaker 1: people are rich because they're smart or because when their
Speaker 1: parents get much money, they also gave them people that
Speaker 1: were smart and so they had money all kinds of
Speaker 1: the Ashton cut. Your Airbnb story was interesting. He was
Speaker 1: talking about how he stayed an airbnb fright, But then
Speaker 1: you realize he's also on a huge investor of it.
Speaker 1: That's why he's talking about it right now, a trickery. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's smart. Smart guys. My top three artists Moti Country.
Speaker 1: Do you know my number one? John Mayor? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not even close. It's just it's just
Speaker 1: John Mayer. It's just John may just John Mayor. And
Speaker 1: this Continuum album is my favorite. Just it's just John
Speaker 1: Mayor and anyone that goes you know what, my favorit
Speaker 1: John Mayor song is Your Body Is in Wonderland. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: you're not John Mayrathan, because no, real John Mayrathan. This
Speaker 1: is the jam turned this up. I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: is not the jam. When I think John Mayer, I
Speaker 1: think this. Okay, So it's your Bob Dylan. We have guys.
Speaker 1: This is the first artist in my lifetime that I
Speaker 1: felt like was actually speaking to me through songs. Ever,
Speaker 1: I like, just no, not, no, not Your Body is
Speaker 1: in Wonderland. That's not stupid. I thought it was coming
Speaker 1: to came out, and that that's what. Never, it never
Speaker 1: touches my ears unless you're like pa, never, so you
Speaker 1: never listen to it alone. Never. Never. I'll put on
Speaker 1: lots of stuff. But he's a couple of years older
Speaker 1: than I am, but he would like say things and
Speaker 1: I would be like, wow, like that's my that's me,
Speaker 1: that's what I say, that's my inner of voice talking.
Speaker 1: That was the first time music ever felt like me
Speaker 1: speaking ever, and it was weird. And that's why I
Speaker 1: stopped this train my favorite song. It's because it's like
Speaker 1: the whole song is about stop this training. I want
Speaker 1: to get off, like life's going too fast, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want it to don't want to get any older.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm so scared of getting older. I'm only
Speaker 1: good at being young. And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that was me because forever, from twenty one to twenty eight,
Speaker 1: I was like this pheno. I'm radio guy who was
Speaker 1: doing things that people didn't do. And and again now
Speaker 1: I'm still younger than nine percent of people at this level.
Speaker 1: But still but I'm not I'm just kidding. Uh just no,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. The only weird thing is it's
Speaker 1: not weird for me. I can have kids to I'm
Speaker 1: seventy and I'll have kids. But it's like if I
Speaker 1: get to be and I don't have any kids, right,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know, I want kids. I can't
Speaker 1: find a fifty year old female to have kids, so
Speaker 1: I guess I gotta go get a twenty two year
Speaker 1: old Yeah, and that's just what you have to do. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: its yeah, but and again and hopefully by then, and
Speaker 1: I'm in a great relationship now hopefully it works out.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even scared of talking about it in
Speaker 1: that way. But um, that's the only thing that's weird
Speaker 1: to me. And then if I'm the fifth year old
Speaker 1: guy with the twenty six year old girlfriend, then I'm
Speaker 1: a creeper. But all I want a baby, right, that's
Speaker 1: all you want. I mean, I'm just trying to have
Speaker 1: a baby, you know, it's all might right, Mike d Yes,
Speaker 1: all right. Uh. My second favorite artists not Country of
Speaker 1: all time. I'll go Food Fighters, although I've seen them
Speaker 1: more times than anybody else except for John here No. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kind of Grows, yeah for sure. Kind of Crows for sure,
Speaker 1: for sure. And I have a mutual love for County Grows,
Speaker 1: except mind is just a little more mutual because I
Speaker 1: kept up with them while you quit. Oh yeah you
Speaker 1: did you know? You were stuff? Eddie and I went
Speaker 1: and we watched Count of Crows and for seventy of
Speaker 1: the show. We sing every word every song. We did that.
Speaker 1: Even their tour manager was like, guys, he was like,
Speaker 1: I've been watching you all. He was like, you really are,
Speaker 1: because well, here's what happened. So the tour manager comes
Speaker 1: over and he says, hey, I was told because my
Speaker 1: manager knows it owns part of the County Crows management, right,
Speaker 1: And so it comes up and goes, hey, I stuff,
Speaker 1: you guys want to go meet the man? Be cool?
Speaker 1: You guys to go meet count of Crows afterwards? And
Speaker 1: I was like, I never want to meet my heroes.
Speaker 1: You never want to him too. I was like, I'm good,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter. I still want to want to meet him. Right,
Speaker 1: And I met John Mayron. You know what I'm good
Speaker 1: like when the experience weren't pleasurable, and but I'm cool
Speaker 1: with that. I can separate them. I can absolutely separate weird.
Speaker 1: It's weird to meet people in their work environment. And
Speaker 1: it's also weird to meet people because you love them
Speaker 1: for something and you don't want to dislike them for
Speaker 1: something else because it makes you dislike over that too.
Speaker 1: So Eddie, now are it's kind of singing every song
Speaker 1: and therebody. This is from my last record. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a beer and I said, they're just
Speaker 1: sing away. I know, you know, but kind of crowds.
Speaker 1: My second favorite. Ah, it's your third. Now food Fighters
Speaker 1: are probably four? Is it something close to Food Fighters? No?
Speaker 1: Not really, but I love food Fighters and Chili Peppers
Speaker 1: and that stage of my life. Um no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, um oh A SA Bass there it is
Speaker 1: all that I sold sign I opened up my side.
Speaker 1: All that makes me think it was Nikita. Are they
Speaker 1: from Australia? I don't know. I have no idea how
Speaker 1: would know all that A SA Bass see where they're
Speaker 1: from the Netherlands are all? They're probably not from Australia. Dude,
Speaker 1: if you if you nail the Netherlands, that's crazy. I
Speaker 1: haven't thought about them forever. Yeah, I mean A seven bass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're amazing. They remember when they came out, you
Speaker 1: know what ASA Bass got me into that. Remember when
Speaker 1: they would do those Columbia house by a t D
Speaker 1: for pennies and Bass was in that Sweden so close,
Speaker 1: same area. Yeah, it's not going Nashville, but you mean
Speaker 1: to be fair, you covered a lot Australia or Australia.
Speaker 1: I just did that because Nikita, I would have guessed
Speaker 1: the Netherlands that like, if I was betting money, I'd
Speaker 1: went Netherlands because that was my I've read this book
Speaker 1: called Blank. It's about your gut and how smarter than
Speaker 1: your brain and what when you get a gut feeling
Speaker 1: and gut reaction. It's really all your brain and chemical
Speaker 1: all working really quickly. True all the books fantastic. Really
Speaker 1: it's called gut. It's called blink. But it's about the
Speaker 1: feeling you get your gut and how most of the
Speaker 1: time stronger than your brain. And your gut reaction isn't
Speaker 1: something in your gut, it's your brain doing it quickly
Speaker 1: and precisely. Weird. Yeah, it's cool. Uh No, go ahead, okay, one,
Speaker 1: give me give me a hint a single person, and
Speaker 1: aside from Garth Brooks in studio, it's my second favorite
Speaker 1: live performance thing I've ever done in my whole life
Speaker 1: in a radio environment. What on earth, Billy Ray says,
Speaker 1: give me another hint? Uh, known for an instrument, but
Speaker 1: not a guitar. What on earth do you know who
Speaker 1: it is? Mike? You do? I wonder where your mike's
Speaker 1: not working? Mike, do you know you on three? I
Speaker 1: have the push buttons? Oh you know four, I'll turned
Speaker 1: you down a long time ago. And he's been in
Speaker 1: our studio. Uh not not here, not here? Not here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not here in Naturville. Oh ben Folds gott got it?
Speaker 1: Have you seen him here? Like have you met him? No?
Speaker 1: And you know there was a funny bit. So ben
Speaker 1: Folds is my third favorite art and I love Ben Folds,
Speaker 1: and I mean I could play you a hundred been
Speaker 1: Fold songs that I just think are fantastic. Like you
Speaker 1: like ben Folds five or loved him? What did you
Speaker 1: like better? Uh? It's it's like what kid do you like?
Speaker 1: That's the real answer. I like ben Folds and obviously
Speaker 1: he was the main even in like the force behind
Speaker 1: it was different kind of music. Yeah, he takes it
Speaker 1: down a notch at times with ben Folds, and I
Speaker 1: like that, like sad stuff. But ben Folds has been Folds,
Speaker 1: so I just think he was doing the same thing
Speaker 1: that Ben Folds five was, Like I'm trying to pay
Speaker 1: to other people for the same stuff. But if there
Speaker 1: were only three members, or was there three members of
Speaker 1: the Ben Folds five, so um, Ben Folds came into
Speaker 1: the studio and play whatever song I wanted that and
Speaker 1: I wasn't whatever about that. He said, I'll play for
Speaker 1: an hour. To him, I said, like, I got a cold,
Speaker 1: so I'll play like the first minute of any song
Speaker 1: you want. And he didn't know how a super fan,
Speaker 1: so I was calling album track. It was like any
Speaker 1: weights and he was like, okay, what a song? You
Speaker 1: got it? All the dog freaked out. So anyways, anyways, anyways,
Speaker 1: so you have been fauld to start and if food
Speaker 1: Fighters I love Yeah, I love them so much. If
Speaker 1: you go to country country, now, are we doing it
Speaker 1: current for all time all time? Okay? Well, and that's
Speaker 1: hard to do a three of all time. I'll go
Speaker 1: first because Garth Brooks is my favorite. Yes, I have
Speaker 1: said had a hundred thousand times and so um there's
Speaker 1: not even any Garth Brooks shore on my on my screen,
Speaker 1: but my favorite Garth Brooks songs. If tomorrow never comes,
Speaker 1: so Garth Brooks, boy, then it gets tough. It's really
Speaker 1: hard if you're doing all time, I mean, because that's
Speaker 1: including the greats, the legends and think about and it's
Speaker 1: such a poser thing to say Johnny Cash, it is,
Speaker 1: but if you truly like it, it's I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say it. I respect it and I have
Speaker 1: it all and I have records and be cuts and
Speaker 1: I have all of it because my grandma made me
Speaker 1: listen to it. Because he's from Arkansas. That's a big
Speaker 1: deal here from Arkansas. Other people from Arkansas are a
Speaker 1: big deal to you, John Daily, Johnny Cash, Brooks, Robinson.
Speaker 1: I can go through the people of Arkansas that got
Speaker 1: out and it's like that those are huge deals to us.
Speaker 1: And so my grandma talking about Jhnny Cash being protested
Speaker 1: because he wasn't country and he was rock con roll
Speaker 1: and people were like that any country and and it
Speaker 1: was just crazy to her because even to her, I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that's kind of rock con roll. But
Speaker 1: he's from Arkansas, so he's obviously country. That being said,
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna put it there. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Garth Brooks, and then I'm probably gonna go Randy
Speaker 1: Travis because of my grandma, because a lot of Randy
Speaker 1: Trap that was probably her favorite artist that wasn't Johnny
Speaker 1: Cash because it's from Arkansas. So it was digging up Bones.
Speaker 1: It was you know, Deeper in the Hall or Forever
Speaker 1: and ever. Amen, that's not I mean, they're talking about
Speaker 1: Grandma so much. I sit it on the table and
Speaker 1: I talked to it too. Four I read some Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, this is like, you know, you get that feeling.
Speaker 1: I read this book once it's called it's not it's
Speaker 1: not right, it's okay, or something like that. It's all right,
Speaker 1: it's okay. My therapist to me, I forgot the name
Speaker 1: of it. But it's like whenever you hear something that
Speaker 1: trigger something as a kid, for that split second, it's
Speaker 1: the same exact emotion and feeling you had when you
Speaker 1: were a kid, because your brain works and it's that
Speaker 1: same put that the same chemical that did from that time.
Speaker 1: That's so cool to me. So when I hear digging
Speaker 1: at Bones, I think of sitting at my table learning
Speaker 1: pay around me with my grandma and she would play
Speaker 1: Rainy Travis oh Man. Yeah and so yeah. And on
Speaker 1: the other hand, I mean all that, I love that.
Speaker 1: And sometimes I'll take nights and just do that with
Speaker 1: my with my player and listen to old songs just
Speaker 1: so I can have those memories again. Count the reason. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I could stay with you. Crazy. Ne reminds me of
Speaker 1: like my dad had jukebox that he bought when we
Speaker 1: were younger, and all these records were in there, and
Speaker 1: like I didn't know half the songs, but we just
Speaker 1: pushed numbers and whatever played played. Oh it's crazy, man,
Speaker 1: makes me kind of like said my third favorite country
Speaker 1: artist and happy. My grandma raised me, so it was
Speaker 1: crazy to think about her. Um probably lindsay l get out,
Speaker 1: stop it, come on, what's wrong with it? Things change? Okay,
Speaker 1: you're going all time? Times break down in the middle
Speaker 1: of nowhere, another lots around? Man, all right, can't do
Speaker 1: my list? U one all time? Right? A man? When
Speaker 1: it gets to third, because I didn't, I didnt think
Speaker 1: about sports, you're talking third. I love the Travis Trip.
Speaker 1: I got a bad taste in my mouth with the
Speaker 1: current Travis Trip. And people say he's a real dick too.
Speaker 1: We're not talking about them, I know. And that's why
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to say this, because notoriously he's
Speaker 1: apparently not a good person. I don't know that. I
Speaker 1: got in a fight with him on Twitter, a huge one.
Speaker 1: He saw that. I saw that crazy fight, and so
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have a good but people
Speaker 1: are like, you know why. You know, he wasn't invited
Speaker 1: at the c m A fiftith anniversary. If you noticed
Speaker 1: he wasn't there, he had a huge deal. He mean,
Speaker 1: Travis Trip might be my third favorite country artists of
Speaker 1: all time. And I canceled him something. I talked about
Speaker 1: it here. I canceled him on our show after our
Speaker 1: Twitter fight. I just silently said, hey, I know you're
Speaker 1: coming in, but I'm gonna not have you in. That's
Speaker 1: awkward business, but it would have been awkward. And so
Speaker 1: but you know what, probably Travis Trip at number three. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's dude. I think that's cool. That's separation of person
Speaker 1: and music because this is the music that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: And you know what, Travis Trip wasn't country back then.
Speaker 1: He wasn't rock and roll, was he really? He did
Speaker 1: songs with the Eagles, but when the Eagles weren't really
Speaker 1: considered country, take it easy when he did a whole yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he did. Uh, let's see Travis Trip. Well,
Speaker 1: obviously it's great to be a live as quarter called hibody,
Speaker 1: who guys, I mean truck to your country club? I
Speaker 1: mean all of that, but I'm gonna be Oh dude,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be somebody one of these days. I'm going
Speaker 1: to break these chips. That was a jam to take
Speaker 1: it easy. Man, got so many big songs, um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he was considered a little too rock and roll at
Speaker 1: the time. Interesting, which is crazy. I haven't heard I
Speaker 1: haven't even thought about this song in a while. I'm
Speaker 1: the leaders guitar on the hard side of time. God,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be somebody so good. I don't even know
Speaker 1: if I wrote these songs because now half of say
Speaker 1: half the artist don't write their own songs. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember when I found out that like George Straight or
Speaker 1: a lot of garth stuff, he didn't write and and
Speaker 1: hardly any of George Straight steft did he right, I
Speaker 1: mean maybe like two songs where it was for me
Speaker 1: the moment that I realized that country artist didn't write
Speaker 1: their songs because you just expect people to write their
Speaker 1: songs was seeing Miranda Lambert on the c M as
Speaker 1: before we came to the format in the house that
Speaker 1: built me one for Song of the Year, and she
Speaker 1: didn't go get the award and somebody else did. Sounds
Speaker 1: like wait, Miranda Lambert, it's about her house. How did
Speaker 1: she not write a song about her house? But she
Speaker 1: didn't write it, she had, I mean someone gave it.
Speaker 1: You know. That was definitely eye opening for me too,
Speaker 1: and like I drive your truck, Lee Bryce. When we
Speaker 1: first got over here, I was like, oh, because Lee Newson.
Speaker 1: It was like, no, not only the Lee not write it.
Speaker 1: And I'm friends of the person who did write Jesse Alexander,
Speaker 1: one of the writers. She also wrote the Climb of
Speaker 1: Miley's IRUs, one of the A c M board together
Speaker 1: was the whole different subject, but um let he was.
Speaker 1: It was actually offered a Drek's first and Drek's turned
Speaker 1: it down. That's I can totally see him doing that
Speaker 1: song too. Oh yeah, right, because it's almost got the
Speaker 1: same as as I Hold On And it was such
Speaker 1: a big song that it would have made Dark's a
Speaker 1: superstar faster and Dark is just not getting into superstar territory,
Speaker 1: and it made him a superstar a lot faster. Didn't
Speaker 1: quite work out for Lee because he doesn't have superstar
Speaker 1: quality about him. It's hard to see Dirk's as like
Speaker 1: barely getting there because I feel like he's been grinding
Speaker 1: so for so long because he has sixteen years and
Speaker 1: he's got tons of number ones, but he doesn't have
Speaker 1: he hasn't he does now and now he's boy's on
Speaker 1: the cusp of that A A A when you're playing
Speaker 1: arenas like Bridge Stone and Nashville, that's it. And I
Speaker 1: like Dark's a lot and he's found his sound and
Speaker 1: his style. He found it. It's awesome because he's a
Speaker 1: good guy. But if Dark would had I drive your
Speaker 1: truck like Lee doesn't. I don't mean he worries the
Speaker 1: hat backward. I mean he's like a chubby er at Church,
Speaker 1: just not as good man the chief. You're comparing him
Speaker 1: to the Chief, I said, not as good. Eric Church
Speaker 1: is really good and the only reason Eric Church can
Speaker 1: be quiet and be mysterious because he's so breaking good
Speaker 1: all the all. Was surprised to be doing the halftime show,
Speaker 1: and you'll probably here this after Thanksgiving. I didn't think
Speaker 1: that was a little the Cowboys game. I thought it
Speaker 1: was a little hokey for him to do a halftime show,
Speaker 1: not for anybody else but Feric Church. Let's see how
Speaker 1: he does it, though I hope he does it in
Speaker 1: a box. You don't see him in the box. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because Eric Church is the guy puts out a does
Speaker 1: a whole concert tour, but no opener. Yeah. But he
Speaker 1: may be changing because now he's doing furniture commercials and stuff.
Speaker 1: He's got his own furniture line. That's true, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's cheaper, lazy boy. He's coming out
Speaker 1: of the box alright. Top three country artists of all
Speaker 1: time alright, Number one Garth for sure life change there yeah,
Speaker 1: and number two George really over Tim, Yeah over Tim,
Speaker 1: because well, George is just a big part of me
Speaker 1: growing up. Whether I liked it or not, it's just
Speaker 1: what everyone played and what everyone liked. Quintessential George Strait
Speaker 1: song for you, ocean front property. I got some ocean
Speaker 1: front property zone. Yeah, that's a good one. I mean, George,
Speaker 1: there was just so much. And I remember my brother
Speaker 1: and I would work in like fields and stuff and
Speaker 1: like um the ranch, and my brother Wood just blaired
Speaker 1: George straight all day long, and it's like that's when
Speaker 1: you talk about memories. I was like George Straight bashing
Speaker 1: country radio a couple days ago and the news it
Speaker 1: was him and Jamie Johnson. They wrote a song together
Speaker 1: that was about given the finger to minute country radio.
Speaker 1: It was like what Jamie Johnson does, right, Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a nut um like he bashes. Yeah, he's his thing.
Speaker 1: Good for him, and he's a great artist as far
Speaker 1: as an artist, but you have to be a great artist,
Speaker 1: and you've got to either be smart yourself on how
Speaker 1: to strategize or have people that strategize for you to
Speaker 1: do both, like you have to do have it and
Speaker 1: he's I don't, I don't. I think he lacks on
Speaker 1: the other side because he's great, saying a great artist, wonderful, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, he just it's not easy to be around
Speaker 1: from all the indicators and there are many of them,
Speaker 1: but don't know him personally. But George teamed up so
Speaker 1: they did a song together. Was not agether George put
Speaker 1: it out and I like, George has been super nice
Speaker 1: to me. I met him him. But they were like,
Speaker 1: this is the middle finger to couch radio because they
Speaker 1: won't play us, And great if you feel that way,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Um. However, then I hear a commercial for
Speaker 1: George straight on count radio asking people to buy his record,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, I thought got radio sucked, but
Speaker 1: now you gotta use it. To sell your record. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like anybody, let's let's stay on the same path here.
Speaker 1: That is kind of weird. COUNTR Radio sucks and on
Speaker 1: our show was like, hey, it's George stryd to got
Speaker 1: a new double album out now, And I'm like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you just said it is sucked. So maybe there's a
Speaker 1: difference between what he has to do and what he
Speaker 1: really want. You need a team around you, and George
Speaker 1: is in his sixties now, his team can guide him
Speaker 1: and it. Yeah, and that's interesting because at his age,
Speaker 1: you know, he's really not two hands on, is he. Um.
Speaker 1: I think when you're that successful, you just expect that
Speaker 1: regardless because you've been successful for so long. I think
Speaker 1: you saw this with Garth. Last record that nobody played
Speaker 1: was that. Garth was surprised. He's like, well, I can't
Speaker 1: just come back and people care. Nope, you can't. You're
Speaker 1: a legend to us and we will always love you
Speaker 1: for it, and you're gonna sell shows out and you
Speaker 1: are the man. You're a legend. You are Mickey Mantle, yes,
Speaker 1: but but you're not Mike Trout. Wow, that hadn't been
Speaker 1: really hard for I think Sony came back and he
Speaker 1: knewed up his sound and knewed up a lot of things,
Speaker 1: not all things, because you're not Garth. It's a weird
Speaker 1: line to walk, but you know, George Star like radio
Speaker 1: middle Finger, but please, I'm gonna go on radio. Please
Speaker 1: buy my record. So the hypocrisy, there's a little something.
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed George straight as a person. He's always
Speaker 1: been very kind to me. Uh and number three and
Speaker 1: then the still relevant legend Tim McGraw, which by the way,
Speaker 1: does not get the credit for being a legend. Nope,
Speaker 1: and relevant like he humbling kind, like that's such a
Speaker 1: strong song today today, and he's saying he didn't write it,
Speaker 1: but he's saying it and he's not. He doesn't lions
Speaker 1: he wrote it, like Laurie McKenna wrote, isn't who I've
Speaker 1: become great friends with that she wrote girl Crushed and
Speaker 1: is just a fantastic writer. But he can still put
Speaker 1: out songs and they on today issues. You can do
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, we go back a few years
Speaker 1: to hot I don't care when he puts on the records.
Speaker 1: When we were kids, McGraw was huge, like Indian Outlaw,
Speaker 1: Don't take the Girl, I remember listening to the radio
Speaker 1: like sixth grade. But Chesney the same way. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna if we're gonna put them to Him and Chesney
Speaker 1: are both legends that are still relevant. And that's a
Speaker 1: weird hard place that didn't Chesney's growing on me because
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't listen to a lot of Chesney growing up.
Speaker 1: His beach sound loses me a bit because I'm not
Speaker 1: a beach person, you know. And it's not a beach person.
Speaker 1: You're more of a treat person, you know. I'm more
Speaker 1: of a well now, more of a WiFi person, if
Speaker 1: I'm being honest. Yeah, it's a really different beach. Let's
Speaker 1: just keep it. I just want to be on my computer,
Speaker 1: on my laptop on Twitter and but but that knew
Speaker 1: Pink and and Kenny's song is fantastic. I was talking
Speaker 1: to Kenny and the mics weren't on, and he was like,
Speaker 1: I said, hey, crazy, huh like the success of this
Speaker 1: song because it was going to Hot a C and
Speaker 1: still is, which is a contemporary radio um so. And
Speaker 1: I was like, congrat that's all they hit the top
Speaker 1: four you in Hot a C. And he was like,
Speaker 1: it's crazy because this song has given me another seven years.
Speaker 1: They're like, what do you mean? He goes, well, because kids, now,
Speaker 1: what do they care about Kenny Cheseny? They goes, My
Speaker 1: contacts are aging out too, and you know the younger
Speaker 1: people there are thirty eight. He goes, however, because this
Speaker 1: song is so cool. You have twenty five year old
Speaker 1: listening and going, I love that song and then get
Speaker 1: into here, going back here some of the older stuff,
Speaker 1: and that song was so big. Give him eight years,
Speaker 1: eight more years of being relevant. So true, you don't
Speaker 1: think about that stuff. And that's got to be hard
Speaker 1: for a lot of artists when they get to that
Speaker 1: point of their careers where they're not as relevant as
Speaker 1: they were. You just need good direction. You have to
Speaker 1: have good direction once you can't tell yourself anymore. Politicians
Speaker 1: have good direction, The good ones do, because do you
Speaker 1: think they know how to use Twitter on Instagram? And
Speaker 1: do you think Governor market I was really messaging me. No.
Speaker 1: We had a great person on his team that he hired,
Speaker 1: that watched that saw and went back around anyway. It
Speaker 1: might be how long we end this will probably long, huh,
Speaker 1: but go another hour we probably could. It was your
Speaker 1: favor who's your favorite? Jazz artist Miles Davis. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: it was good. All right, we're gonna go. Uh, We're done.
