1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: All welcome to a special edition of the first episode

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: of the series called the Trouble Tapes, where we go

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: back through some of the history of me and the

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: show and talk about when I are we got in

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: trouble and there's always a chance of getting fired. But

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: this segment is brought to us by LifeLock. How much

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: is your identity worth? According to an online security education company,

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the going rate for an internet to use their identity

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: is about bucks. That's how much it's worth to hackers

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: on the web. So the whole deal is, we're all

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: living in this chain of all of our world is connected,

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: and it takes one of the links to get busted.

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: In their end, somebody's got all of our information. They

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: can use the device stuff or heard our credit. Good thing.

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,040

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: for years, way before they were a partner on the

29
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: podcast or the show. And yeah, here we go, this

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: is a new, a new deal. We've come up with

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of ideas. Through the history of of this

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: whole project, the Bobby Bones Show, there's been a few

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: really really close calls where I was really really almost

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: fired hard. In this episode, we'll talk about one of

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: the biggest scandals sort of and I say sort of

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: because nobody knew about it when it was happening as

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: far as that I was involved in it. And we're

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: not gonna be in the same room because what happens

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: when we talk about stuff we have different opinions and

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: we start fighting about it, especially when it's the controversial.

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: So all these interviews are done separately and so over

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: the first time you hear my story than Amy's and

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Lunchbox and Eddie's, and you'll get their version without us

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: arguing over each other, and maybe a clearer take from everyone.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what I was gonna say, because

46
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember when everyone found out. Before I get

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: into my side of the story, let me set the

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: stage for you. It wasn't until May until the Washington

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Post did a story that revealed I had paid for

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: those billboards to be put up myself, and they saw

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the story because it was in my book, Bare Bones,

52
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and they had a copy of the book to review

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: it before anyone else did. So I'll start with my

54
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: side of the story and then you'll hear everyone share

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: what they remember from the story as well. So this

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: is the trouble tapes, the billboards, they go away, Bobby

57
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Bones billboards. I think one of the other biggest scandals

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: is that time about billboards in town. Now, you have

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: to understand our when it came to town, and still

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: to this day, was really a counterculture of what was

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: happening in mainstream country radio. It really hadn't been anyone

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: do a lot of new when we came. And for me,

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, I was feeling it big time because the

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: listeners weren't really getting the show. Yet the people inside

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: the industry hated the show, because you have to remember,

66
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: if something new comes in and it works, everyone who's

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: still doing the old starts to go, oh no, does

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: that mean what I'm doing is not working? And that's

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: really not what it meant. But it did mean that

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: there was something new that wanted to be heard, and

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: that was our listeners, and that was our type of listeners,

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: someone who loves country music but also loves other things.

73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: And it was absolutely acceptable to say that you liked

74
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: other kinds of music too. So we came into the show.

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: We had this whole message of we're normal humans, we're

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: not really one genre only. And I really wasn't resonating

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: at first, and our shows never a show that you

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: hear the first time ago I love it, but we're

79
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: a show this kind of the slow burn and then

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: you're with us, And so the slow burn was happening,

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: but really nobody was with us, and we were just

82
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 1: getting crushed and in the press, ratings weren't that good,

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: and most places ratings weren't that good. We were still

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: a new show. So what I decided to do was

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: to come up with they scheme to get people talking

86
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: about us, to get people feeling sorry for the show

87
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: instead of hating it, to get people acknowledging that we

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: were even here, that we were So I thought about

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: it for a long time and I finally came to

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: where I was gonna do like a reverse pr like

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: uh pseudo publicity stunt where I wanted to do negative

92
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: publicity about the show. And I didn't know what I

93
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: was gonna do it. First about a by doing a

94
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: fake Facebook page. I thought about doing a fake blog

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: and somehow highlighting that. And I was watching a thirty

96
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: for thirty on Brian Bosworth and they were talking about

97
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: Brian Bosworth, who played linebacker in Oklahoma. He also played

98
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks and a crazy haircut. He was

99
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: really good in college, wasn't really great as a pro.

100
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: But what he would do because he was so hated,

101
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: is that he would go and he would make clothing

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: like a merchandise and he would sell you know, Brian

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: Bosworth sucks T shirts out on the street. Now he wouldn't,

104
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: but you'd have people do it, and so they were.

105
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: He played for the Seattle Seahawks, so they would go

106
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: to play the raiders, right. They go to Los Angeles

107
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: the time, and there'd be people on the side of

108
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the road selling Brian Bosworth sucks t shirts. Literally they

109
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: know Brian Bosworth was the one selling the shirts. I thought, Wow,

110
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: what an interesting idea that you can actually use people's

111
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: hatred or distaste for you to your advantage. You know.

112
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: That's where the blog I came in. That's where the

113
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: fake Facebook page came in. And I had all these

114
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: ideas of how to manipulated, and I thought, why not

115
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: just go for it, and I'll just buy some billboards.

116
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: And at the time, I didn't know I was gonna

117
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: write on them. I don't if I was gonna put

118
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: a picture in my face with a circle through it.

119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know how obvious this should be too. Actually,

120
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: you know, put something up there that maybe had a

121
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: logo on it. There was self deprecating, but you knew

122
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: it was me putting it up. Like I had all

123
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: these thoughts, I didn't quite know what I wanted to do,

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: and so when I decided to put up the generic

125
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: message white back with black letters, they just said go away,

126
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones. I didn't think it was too distasteful. I

127
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: thought it would leave room for people to go I

128
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: wonder if that is Bobby. I thought people would go,

129
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones, who's that? Or Bobby owns? Go away? Upon

130
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: was I agree with that or I don't agree with that? Like,

131
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: I just felt like it was going to give people

132
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: all these different feelings. And so Imember the morning they

133
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: went up, and I told no one, And so the

134
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: billboards go up and people start calling about them. People

135
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: start calling when they're putting them up. You know, he

136
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: see the little guy up on the bill we're rolling

137
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: the letters. People start calling, going, hey, they're putting there's

138
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: the billboard going up. I was like what, And so

139
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: these billboards go up in lunchboxes out reporting about him.

140
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: He didn't know, at least not not at first. I

141
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: started to get a little foggy about when people knew,

142
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: because I had on such lockdown that my company didn't

143
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: know at first, and they started investigating, trying to figure

144
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: out who it was. The local news was doing stories,

145
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: my company was trying to figure out who would put

146
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: them up, and I was completely on lockdown. What I

147
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: had done is I created a company that paid another

148
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: company that I created that paid the billboard company. So

149
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: there was no way to actually track it back to

150
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: me through companies. Read a book, learn how to do that,

151
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: and so the next thing you know, all the billboards

152
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: are up. I think they're up for three four weeks,

153
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: right in the middle of Nashville, big old billboards too,

154
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: and people couldn't figure out. And the only time they

155
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: ever got revealed it was in my book two years later.

156
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: So luckily nobody found out. Nobody had a big mouth.

157
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: That's why I wonder who on the show even new

158
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: because I think I might have had to clue them

159
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: in at some point, but nobody ever said anything. I'm

160
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: Amy from the Bobby Bones Show, and what I remember

161
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: about the billboards is being really disappointed in someone that

162
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: put him up. Like I remember thinking, who would be

163
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: so rude to put up a billboard like that and

164
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: spend their money just to say, um that Bobby Bones

165
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: needed to go away? And I mean we were new

166
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: to town, like it was nerve racking coming to a

167
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: new city, a new format and like starting over, and

168
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, well that's one way to send

169
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: a message. And I just remember driving past the billboards

170
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: end of being awkward, because there's one I would pass

171
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: like a lot, and I was like, huh, And it

172
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: really didn't bother Bobby that much, so I was like, okay, well,

173
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let it bother me. And then I

174
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: didn't find out that it was actually Bobby until he

175
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: put out his book, which I wasn't totally annoyed by

176
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: that because he's really good at keeping things like that

177
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: to himself. Um, and you know, it was genius marketing

178
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: move on his end. Quite the investment though, and so

179
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand him keeping it on the lowdown,

180
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: but sometimes he will tell me things, so part of

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: me was kind of like, oh, well, thanks, you didn't

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: tell me about that one. But I found out when

183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: when the book came out. I was I was like, okay,

184
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: totally makes sense. I felt kind of dumb for falling

185
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: for it because I thought someone else had done it,

186
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: and when people would even say to me that what

187
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: if Bobby's behind it, I was like, no, don't be ridiculous.

188
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: I sort of like stood up for him, and then

189
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: it really was him. So I mean, I mean, I

190
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: don't think I ever would have put it past him

191
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: by any means, because I do know him. But at

192
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: the same time, I was kind of. I guess, just

193
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: a little bummed. I didn't have a heads up like

194
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: I found out with everybody else. Although yeah, no the

195
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: full book. I think there was parts of his book

196
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: I got to read early and then um, and then

197
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: I read the whole thing when it came out. February four,

198
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: lunch Box reporting live from the side of the highway.

199
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: We're on Highway Highways twenty four out here in Nashville.

200
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: We are going westbound. This Smith Way is westbound, and

201
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: if you look, we had reports of a billboard going

202
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: up saying Bobby Bones go away. Well, if you look

203
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: over my right shoulder, you are loaded. Here is a

204
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: billboard and says go away Bobby Bob So funny hats

205
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: Bobby bonds it up. He spend their hard oard more

206
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: to put up this billboard. Yea, we have confirmed reports

207
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: that there is a billboard, and we have seen it

208
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: with our whole eyes. We have bus So if you

209
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: are taking the trip and you're trying to or remember

210
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: put this up. That's very rude. But it says go away,

211
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones. And if you're going eastbound, it is also

212
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: on the other side. That is right, Ladies and gentlemen,

213
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: breaking news. It is a double sided billboard and says,

214
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: go away, Bobby Bone. We brabed the elements we came

215
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: out here. We didn't want to think it was true.

216
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: We didn't want to think someone say miss Loan. But

217
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: guess what someone did. They are rude, they are me

218
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: and they want Bobby Bones to go away. I remember

219
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: that we got a call from a listener saying, hey,

220
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: I was driving on I don't know the names of

221
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: the highways twenty four or forty, and they said there's

222
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: a billboard that says go away, Bobby Bones. And I

223
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: was like, who in the world would spend their money

224
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: on billboards? Because they hated Bobby so much. So I

225
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: went out there to investigate. I had no idea. I

226
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: was like, this is crazy, and I thought it had

227
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: to be another radio station that was a little nervous

228
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: about the show coming to town and they hated Bobby

229
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: so they put him up. But then another color calls.

230
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: The next thing goes there's one on this other highway,

231
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: so they were on two different highways. I was like,

232
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: this is crazy. That's all I had was radio station

233
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: because I didn't think anybody hated Bobby enough for him

234
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: to go away. The only person I thought that would

235
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: hate him is another radio station because he's coming in

236
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: to steal their listeners. That's it. I didn't think it

237
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: was like another human, because one other human hates another human.

238
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: To put up a billboard, it has to be a

239
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: company paying for it. And when did you find out?

240
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: I found out whenever Bobby wrote his book. I mean

241
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: he said I revealed something about something in the book,

242
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: and then the book it says I paid for the billboards.

243
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, I hate you because you didn't

244
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: tell me, Like, why not tell me? Why not tell me?

245
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: Bobby's a pretty smart dude, so he knows what he's doing.

246
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: I guess it. Uh what do you call it? Draws

247
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: up interest? Or people are like, who's that Bobby bones guy? Uh?

248
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Smart move, Bobby, Like, props to you. You tricked everybody

249
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: for years, for years, no one had any idea. And

250
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: if anybody knew, they didn't tell me. If you told

251
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: Amy before me, not cool. If you told any before me,

252
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: not cool. I don't know who all knew, but I

253
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: didn't have any idea. Oh. I tried to ask everybody.

254
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, tell me, really, who did

255
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: the billboards? So I don't know. I don't know, I

256
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: don't know. So bill Boards that was a good one.

257
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: I remember Bones came up to me and said like,

258
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: oh man, but about to do something crazy, like something

259
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: really crazy. It's gonna be big. I think it's gonna

260
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: be really big. And then he didn't tell me what

261
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: he was doing, though I found out later what he

262
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: was doing when they actually came up, and I started thinking, like, dude,

263
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: this guy one. I thought, we're people gonna believe it,

264
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: like where people are really gonna think that somebody's gonna

265
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: pay this much money to like trash talk, some new

266
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: radio DJ that came into town. I knew as soon

267
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: as it came up. Somebody had tweeted it, I think,

268
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: and we saw a picture. Somebody had a listener tweeted

269
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: like wow, look what I saw on the road. And

270
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: I say, as I saw the picture him like Okay,

271
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: this is what he was talking about, Like this is

272
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: the big thing Bone said he was gonna do. Honestly,

273
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know if he was ever going

274
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: to reveal it, Like, I didn't know if he was

275
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: ever going to talk about it or if this is

276
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: just gonna be a thing that he knew that he

277
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: had to do to get people's attention about the show

278
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: and all that. But I didn't know that he was

279
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: going to come out later and talk all about it,

280
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: which is refreshing because when he did, I was like,

281
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yah, yeah, yeah, the billboards. Yeah, we all

282
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: knew about it. So any would get brought up in

283
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: conversations like people ask you, what would you say? It

284
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: was the worst, man, it was the worst. I had

285
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: to look at them and be like, it's crazy, right,

286
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, Like I mean, who would hate

287
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: us that much? Like I would start talking about that

288
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: and then just let them kind of go because I

289
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to give too much information. I would just

290
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: be like, I know, right, and then they would go off.

291
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: Anyone I would talk to on the streets or whatever

292
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: or play events or whatever, they would be like, dude,

293
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: this is like who would do something like that? Do

294
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: you guys, do you have any idea? Do you think

295
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: it's an artist? Do you think it'd be? Like? Oh't know? Okay,

296
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: So this has been first episode in the series we

297
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: call the Trouble Tapes. Yeah, so I got lucky on

298
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: that one. Probably could have been fired or it could

299
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: have worked out terribly, but in this instance it didn't.

300
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: By the way, I would like to say that I

301
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: do not think Eddie knew, because Eddie never said anything

302
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: to me, and I know Eddie said there, oh, I

303
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: said something big was gonna happen. I say that all

304
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: the time. I don't think any new. He would never

305
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: once said anything to me, and I would think that

306
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: would at least be a side conversation over the years

307
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: and years. Honestly, after hearing Amy, I didn't know that

308
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,840
