1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to episode five five five of the

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Bobby Cast.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: Coming up in a few minutes.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: We'll talk about big country songs that actually never were

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: number one, which is pretty crazy.

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: Eddie will join me for that.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: this week, especially all the Dancing with the Star stuff

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: that's happened, because I definitely didn't think.

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: That was going to go super viral.

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: It's weird when something goes a bit viral because it's

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: like a snowball. I'd made that video and a couple

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: things I won. Was on a crazy amount of pain medicine,

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: which I have been and you can see if you're

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: watching on video. I am in a full cast because

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: ID have surgery on my ankle and it's been killing me.

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: So I don't blame it on pain medicine at all,

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: because I stand by everything I said, But just so

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: you know where I was at, like mentally, every year

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: about this time of the year, I would say mid

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: October to early November, there's always someone on that show,

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: which there should be, who isn't the best dancer, but

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: that America like gets behind and roots for Every year

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: this happens and it's awesome, and it's really what that

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: show's about that shows. It wasn't made so the best

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: dancer can win. It's made so the best dancer mixed

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: with the most likable person. Let's figure it out. It's

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: like life. Like in life, the person that's most qualified

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: for the job doesn't always get the job. It's the

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: person who's really qualified, but also who the person who's

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: hiring wants to hire because they want to be around them.

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, That's very much what life is about. It's

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: about be somebody who people like. And then also can

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: you do the job?

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Can you get better at the job? For sure?

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Like when I hire for positions, I don't always hire

37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: based on what the person can do right then, But

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: one do I like being around them? And then two

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: can they grow into that position even in a way

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: different than they probably think or I think they can now.

41
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: So around this time every single year, I just hit

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: my social media and it is NonStop, just people ripping

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: into me for no reason other than I'd won that

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: show years before.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: And I have pretty thick skin.

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: I have very thick skin because every day I say

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: stuff and people kind of come to meet in dms

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: and comments all good. So it was no different this year,

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: except for Tom Bergeron had kind of jumped in and

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: added to the mix for some reason. And the reason

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: is he was going back on the show after he

52
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: had been fired, and I still love Tom, and so

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: he was doing press and I saw what he said.

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: He had done like twenty interviews, and they had asked

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: him what's one of the more shocking eliminations. That was

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: the question. It was nothing about who won that shouldn't

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: have and he immediately flipped it and he was like,

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I tell you who shouldn't have won?

59
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Who I was shocked by that won. And it wasn't

60
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: even that because I was shocked that I won, But

61
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: it was the facial expressions. The out is because nowhere

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: in that interview did he allude to, well, it's because

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: of the judging and what's weighted and what's not, Like

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: that's what's been said since then. That's that's really not

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: what he meant. But my feelings were hurt, and I

66
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: just said this. I didn't say I was mad. So

67
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: my feelings were hurt because it was somebody that I like,

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: really respected and was also so great to me. While

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: I was there on that show like he was the greatest.

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: He was like the one person because Aaron Andrews wasn't

71
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: there that much.

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: She was doing.

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: NFL, she was doing you know, she had other jobs

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: other than Dancing with the Stars. And at the time,

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: those were the two hosts, and so he was there

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: a decent amount and we were talking about all kinds

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: of stuff, just broadcasting, like he's an old broadcaster, had

78
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: done a bunch of TV shows. I was, you know,

79
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: working on Idol. I was getting ready to start doing

80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: a show on that GEO, and so I would ask

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: him for advice and he was generous with his time

82
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: and his answers. So when he said that, that one

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: hit me a little different. And so I just remember

84
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: waking up and being like, dang, this sucks. And it

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: had that trophy. And I've had the trophy and it

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: used to be in the house and I would always

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: keep it somewhere really annoying in the house. And then

88
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: I got married and my wife's like, do we have

89
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: put trophy right here by the front door?

90
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: And I was like good points.

91
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: So then I moved it down to our studio, and

92
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: every year when this would happen, I would start to

93
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: feel like, man, this trophy does not make me feel good.

94
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: And so I packed it up and I gave it

95
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: to my assistant and I still had the box that

96
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: it was in, and I said, hey, just mail this

97
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: back to ABC because it does not make me feel

98
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: good to look at. I don't even want to put

99
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: it away. And yeah, I was a little bit. It

100
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: was for drama, for sure, but it made me feel good.

101
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: And one of my heroes in life, Marie Condo, if

102
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't spark joy, get rid of it. One of

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: my top heroes for sure. Shout out, that's her name, right,

104
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Marie Condo. Yeah, that's it, thank you, So send it back.

105
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: And I got on my phone and it was I

106
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: wasn't mad, and I was just like, what was I

107
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Like every year all these people come

108
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: at me over and over again. Now, granted I had

109
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: taken pain medicine probably hours before from my foot, so

110
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: I was probably a little bit emo. And I've never drank,

111
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: never had drink of alcohol. But people say when you

112
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: drink a lot of times you're just allowed or more

113
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: real version of yourself. And I think I allowed my

114
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: feelings to get hurt because I was just those pills

115
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: had allowed my senses to feel, and so my feelings

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: wire work because Tom had done that. They had been

117
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: years and years of people just like pounding me over

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: doing nothing wrong. It wasn't even an opinion that I had,

119
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: because that happens a lot where I have an opinion

120
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: or I say something and people get mad at me,

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes it comes back years and years. And I'm

122
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: fine with that because I did that, like I had

123
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: the opinion that either pissed people off or made people

124
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: happy with this, I just did what was asked to me,

125
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: go on the show when and not only did I

126
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: win again, I was told by multiple executives at that

127
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: network it was the largest gap from first to second

128
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: place in the history of the show. And I've even

129
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: seen some people go, well, yeah, because you used your audience.

130
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: Of course, so did people with way more followers on

131
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: social media that would get on every show every day.

132
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: I'd be like, vote for me, vote for me. Everybody

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: used their audience. That's the point of that show. They

134
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: want people to get their audience to watch and to vote.

135
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: So did that melt the trophy back, made the video

136
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: and then it's really weird to slowly go viral. So

137
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: I posted I don't think much about it, and mostly

138
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't think much about anything, because again, I've been

139
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: kind of in a weird stage of just being in

140
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: pain with my foot. And the day that I posted that,

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: I did the radio show and then I had a

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: couple of interviews, and one of them was with Phil Rosenthal,

143
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: who's going to come up next week on this podcast.

144
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Phil was awesome. Phil Rosenthal is the creator of Everybody

145
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Loves Raymond.

146
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: He has a show called Feet. Don't Feed Phil, Feed Phil,

147
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: Somebody Phil, Thank you. It's a great show. But now

148
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: he's got a cookbook too, called Field. He's got a

149
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: lot of feel things right now, I'm confused one on

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: which ones which. But he came by and we talked

151
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: about a lot of things in the interview went like

152
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: an hour and a half. In that hour and a half,

153
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: I look at my phone and that video has now

154
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: gone hundreds of thousands of views on Instagram, hundreds of

155
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: thousands on TikTok, and I'm like, oh wow, this thing

156
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: got some traction. Now.

157
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't ashamed in any way for what I said,

158
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 1: because I didn't take any shots at anybody. I wasn't

159
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: mad at anybody. I just said that the process has

160
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: removed my joy towards that show, which it was completely joyous.

161
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: It was very hard, but it was really one of

162
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: the great things that I felt like I've done. All

163
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: the negativity has come in the years afterward, and really

164
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: the most is when Tom Bergeron had said that just

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: because my feelings were hurt for no other reason. So

166
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, this is Then I see like E

167
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: pick it up and.

168
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh wow, Okay. Then people, then Yahoo.

169
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: Then I got a whole list of them, and then

170
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: it just started to blow up and it's starting to

171
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: be everywhere. Then friends are texting me like, hey, did

172
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: you see this? I I'll show the story doesn't matter.

173
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: I had a meeting yesterday afternoon with a pretty I

174
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: want to say, a successful television producer, somebody that I

175
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: knew of but didn't know personally, but I knew of

176
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: because they've had a bunch of success in a specific area,

177
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: and so we'd set up this meeting weeks ago. We

178
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: get on the uh the zoom and the first thing

179
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: they say is I saw you in the news today.

180
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: And I was like yeah.

181
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: They were like, what was that all about. So I

182
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: told them the whole story, and it just becomes such

183
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: a a present part of your day. Anytime I go

184
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: to my phone, it's a text. I'm full of notifications.

185
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: But again, I then would watch the video back, and

186
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: most of the time I don't watch videos back, just

187
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: to make sure I didn't say something that I would regret,

188
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: or say something where I was angry, because I wasn't

189
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: angry at anybody.

190
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: And then like.

191
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: People that haven't heard from in a long time, then

192
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: like artists start reaching out then. And the real weird

193
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: part about going viral is the next day it's over.

194
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: It is like the biggest dump of water on you,

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god. Good or bad, You're like,

196
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, and then you go oh. The next

197
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: day you wake up and it's completely gone because the

198
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: new cycle is totally flipped. And so that's what it's

199
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: like today. As I'm recording this, I'm glad it's over.

200
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: I never really meant it to be anything more than

201
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: it was. I do see now what the headline was was.

202
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: And it's funny that I sent the Meriball trophy back.

203
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: That's funny. It reminds me of Reggie Bush when they

204
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: took the Heisman from him, except they didn't take the

205
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: trophy for me. I was just like, I don't really

206
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: want this round. It doesn't make me feel good, and

207
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a funny, dramatic thing to do

208
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: to send it back, because you know what, if nobody

209
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: really wants me there, you know, I don't have to

210
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: be there. And I try not to talk about it

211
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: unless it's right when they announce the cast, because that's

212
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: when I get asked the most about it, because I

213
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: never want to be the guy that's just like yep,

214
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: I want to dance with the stars all the time.

215
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Also because I think there were these negative I know

216
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: there were these negative thoughts and feelings about me winning,

217
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: but I didn't cheat. I didn't manipulate the system. Even

218
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: with the new version of how they are judging it,

219
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're weighted rules, I would win again with

220
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: what happened then. A lot of it, too, was the cast.

221
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: All the casts are different, all the soup is cook

222
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: different every single year. But I'm saying if it was

223
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: the same exact cast put out this year with their

224
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: new weighted rules, I would still win again. Based on

225
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: that situation. But I love the show. I have nothing

226
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: to say negative about the show or the people on

227
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: the show, or even Tom, Like I think Tom is

228
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: the greatest. And if Tom was like, Hey, I want

229
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: to come on the podcast, let's go love to talk

230
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: to you. But that's why I put the video up.

231
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: And then I just want to explain kind of what

232
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: it was like. When you go and something happens and

233
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: it goes viral, it feels again. You know, we see

234
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: a coach get water dumped on them, they're like, oh god,

235
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's what it feels like because you're like, oh,

236
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: I didn't really expect this to happen.

237
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: Oh crap.

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: I also didn't make any other videos about it, and

239
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: I think had I started going, oh, let me take

240
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: this momentum and keep building on it, I felt like

241
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: that would be a bit disingenuous for me to like

242
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: comment on what I said that now everybody's commenting on.

243
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: So I don't want to say anything else about it,

244
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: because that wasn't the point.

245
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: The point was to just share how I felt. The

246
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: point was to.

247
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Share what I did about it, and it wasn't to

248
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: continue making content about it. But I made this part

249
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: of the video because one while I'm doing an intro

250
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: for the full podcast, and two to just kind of

251
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: explain what it feels like to go viral. And this

252
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: is not a I rolled on a way that lasts

253
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: for like years. I think people will probably remember this

254
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: and I'll probably ask about it in interviews for other projects,

255
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: and I'm happy to talk about it because again, I

256
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: don't feel like anybody got hurt from this. So yeah,

257
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: that's what's up. Still love the show, Still love my

258
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: time on the show. I just was probably on pain

259
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: meds and probably got my feelings hurt more than I

260
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: normally would because I think the walls were down a

261
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: little bit. But yeah, it sucked, It really sucked. But

262
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: I don't dislike Tom bergeron at all. Like I think

263
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: my old phone has his number on it. My new

264
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: phone I don't have as many numbers in this phone.

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: And last night I thought I should go check the

266
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: old phone and see if I got a text from Tom,

267
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: because I think Tom and I had texted a couple

268
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: times because he had given me his number, Like that's

269
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: how great he was. It was like, if you ever

270
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: need anything, never thinking.

271
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: Well, what I need is for you to shut up,

272
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: So I need to go in check, because what will

273
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: really suck is if I go check that phone and

274
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: there's like all these text from people going like, hey man,

275
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: I just want to reach out.

276
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: And say sorry, and I did. I know where that

277
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: phone is. And the only reason I even keep it

278
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: with that old number is because there are some things

279
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: that I like sometimes they have to get a text

280
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: back to a certain number if I'm logging into something

281
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: like the multi factor authentication. I think I have like

282
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: two accounts where that's the case. And so I keep

283
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: that phone. And I was gonna get up, but my

284
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: foot hurt so much. I was like, I'm not getting

285
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: up right now. You will get that phone. So all

286
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: this to be said, I just wanted to address it

287
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: after the fact. I did get invited on some really

288
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: cool podcasts talk about it, and I said no, because

289
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to make this any more dramatic than

290
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: it already is. And I don't think me doing this

291
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: is dramatic either. This is my own little avenue I

292
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: get to create and drive on. And also it's not

293
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: so dramatic that I dislike anybody for it. So that's

294
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: what's up. Love everybody love doing the show. Since trophy back,

295
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: and here's the thing, if they send it back to me,

296
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: I will accept it loudly and proudly. That would be

297
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of funny, Mike. Before we jump over to the

298
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: other part, any questions, did you reply to Tom at all?

299
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: And for no, I saw his Instagram post and then

300
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to create any more conflict, even

301
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: in a comment section, So I can't today. I think

302
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: now everybody's moved on, I kind of I think I

303
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: will reply to Tom today. It's a good point. I

304
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that. I just saw where he said, hey,

305
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: sorry for pouring salt in the wound that I know

306
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: happened after you won. The thing is I would I

307
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: would win. I would go and do the show for

308
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: the first time and try to win again. I don't

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: know that I would do the show again right now,

310
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: knowing everything that I know. But I only did it

311
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: originally because as American Idol ask me to do it.

312
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I never was like, I gotta be on Dancing.

313
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: With the Stars.

314
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: So I think today though, I will go and post

315
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: a comment underneath where he wrote that, where he wrote like, hey, sorry,

316
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: so no, I haven't, but I will.

317
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: Anything else. How cool A podcasts were you invited on?

318
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to know.

319
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, it was just some podcasts that I think are

320
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: really cool, Okay, yeah, like that I like listen to,

321
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: or that I know have massive followings. And I just

322
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: don't want this to seem like I was doing this

323
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: specifically for attention, because when I do things for attention,

324
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: a lot of times it doesn't get attention. So it's

325
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: one of these random things where I posted this and

326
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: just made a quick video because I was affected by

327
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: what Bergern had said in that Parade magazine interview. And

328
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: and if you Phil Rosenshal was like, oh boy, we're

329
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: getting some traction here.

330
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

331
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I really wasn't like the intention or anything. So that's

332
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: what's up, love everybody. I would have gone to the

333
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: twentieth birthday if my foot wasn't hurt, like I had

334
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: plans to go to that. I had plans even once

335
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: I knew I was having surgery, which if you listen

336
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: on the show, I was like, Man, can I still go?

337
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: I realized I can barely move around the house, much

338
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: less get on an airplane, get an ubers be in LA.

339
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: So I would have even gone to that.

340
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: It was a cool episode. Yeah, I don't. I don't

341
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: have it. I don't get to watch it because you

342
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: know why, because YouTube TV it doesn't have Disney and

343
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: they can't watch ESPN. I can't watch ABC.

344
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: I saw some clips of it, but I missed it.

345
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Did they do it in Memoriam?

346
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they show me.

347
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: They did not show you. They showed me with my

348
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: foot up propped up with the thumbs up. I imagine

349
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: that in Memoriam was a lot on Len.

350
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: He was at the very end, so they showed like

351
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: everybody who had been on who's passed away.

352
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: Were there a lot? It was a good amount.

353
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: You're kind of surprised, I say, at least maybe eight

354
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: or nine people.

355
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: Wow, And then the show.

356
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Hasn't been on one hundred years, it's been on twenty.

357
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, some most.

358
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: People you forgot die, like Suzanne Summers. They used to

359
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: do that show twice a year. Like used to go

360
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: one season and they just start the next one. So

361
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: they would do two, which is why there's been thirty

362
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: plus seasons in twenty years. And they used to do

363
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: two episodes every week. I think we had two episodes

364
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: where they would do the whole competition, then you vote,

365
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: and the next night is like a I'm not sure

366
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: if we had two.

367
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: Maybe we only had one. I think it was just one.

368
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: Maybe, so maybe we were one of the first seasons

369
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: to do one. But they used to have two episodes

370
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: where they would do the eliminations and have like some dancing,

371
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: but not really part of the competition. That second night,

372
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: that's when the show was really popping. But the show

373
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: is really popping again and it's super cool to see.

374
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: So how will this shake out?

375
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: Who knows? That's all I got. Let's enjoy the rest

376
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: of the podcast. Thank you all for being here.

377
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 4: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,

378
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: WO and we're back on the Bobby cap.

379
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: All right, We're going to talk about famous country songs

380
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: that never went to number one. And I would ask

381
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: you the question, do you think this one went to

382
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: number one? But the answer is.

383
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: No, because they all didn't go to number one, to

384
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: all of them.

385
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: So we'll start at number ten. Number ten never went

386
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: to number one. Whiskey Lullaby Brad Paisley and Alison Krause.

387
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: Wow, what a shame?

388
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: Well, and that's a ballad that's going to be all

389
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: these There's a difference though in times and songs being

390
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: number one. I think back in like the fifties and

391
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies, number ones were a massive deal that translated.

392
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: I think in the nineties and two thousands, number ones

393
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: were a big deal.

394
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 2: But there are a couple eras where number ones really

395
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: weren't that big of a deal because there were like

396
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: five different charts. It was like in college football when

397
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: they were like seven different national champions Yeah, because they

398
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: had all these polls.

399
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: Even now, if you get a number one on the radio,

400
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: that's big, but it's not near as big as it

401
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: was ten years ago because there were all these other

402
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: outlets as well, Like you could satellite could say there's

403
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: a number one, they just make that up radio number one.

404
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of politics involved in the number one.

405
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: In radio streaming, well we're the biggest streamer, but people

406
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: buy bots in order to get streams.

407
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: So there's so much to say about a number one.

408
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: Now you just kind of take it and it's just

409
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: a plaque you put on your wall and you can

410
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: say you got a number one, but it really doesn't

411
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: mean as much.

412
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: What goes into being a number one, Like what.

413
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: Well, now there's like eleven different things, say, like say

414
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: ten years ago, like you said, for the most part,

415
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: radio radio play, and what was so important about nineties

416
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: to two thousands is they would actually allow a song

417
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: to stay number one for three, four, five, six, seven weeks.

418
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: That really doesn't happen often now because it's such a

419
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: political game of people just kind of trading out number one,

420
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: sharing the number one. Yeah, it really is like if

421
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: there's a multi week number one, even for two weeks,

422
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: big deal. Hardly ever is there a three or four

423
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: week number one. But there used to be like eleven

424
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: week number ones in country music, wow, because it just

425
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: was that dominant of a song and unless you could

426
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: come take down the champ. It was always a weird

427
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: thing to me with the number ones, even in my

428
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: time in Nashville, that it would be number one for

429
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: a week and then go away. People don't just love

430
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: a song the most for one week. Right, If it's

431
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: a number one song and it's loved, it's got a

432
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: few week's shelf life until something else comes up and

433
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: is now the new loved song.

434
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: People don't just love for a week. And I remember

435
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: artists would say like, oh, yeah, we wrote that song

436
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: three years ago. We recorded it two years ago. I've

437
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: been playing it live for two years straight and it

438
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 2: just became a number one.

439
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: Well that's because it takes a long time for promotion

440
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: teams to get radio to play it and build spins

441
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: up and it has started overnights and then it has

442
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: to But that wasn't always the case. And I feel

443
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: like now it's like I don't know much about getting prostitutes,

444
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: but actually I know very little.

445
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's better. That's a better way of putting.

446
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: Actually actually know nothing except for like what I hear

447
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: from Charlie Sheen.

448
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: There you go.

449
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: But now it's almost like buying a hooker, because interesting,

450
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: you just get a hooker and you're onto the next.

451
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: That's like what a number one is. Now it's a

452
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: good hooker, damn, but you're.

453
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: Just on to the next instead of like a great analogy.

454
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: So's like a girlfriend that you have for many, many weeks. Yes, yes,

455
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 1: number ones now are high prize hookers.

456
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: I said it, dude, we don't even talk about that

457
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: girl because.

458
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some hookers are better than others, and you

459
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: remember when you tell your friends about them. Some number

460
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: one songs are actually memorable, but there are some by

461
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: some artists and you're like.

462
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: I don't even remember that song. How do songs become classics?

463
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: Then when the number the hookers just keep revolving.

464
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Because they're great, because they're great songs, and they organically

465
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: leave an impression on people. Like that's how songs become classics,

466
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: because all these are classics without being number ones. Whiskey

468
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: What year was this? Two thousand and four? I think.

469
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: You know that song? Universally loved. It's one of my

470
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: favorite songs of all time, not just country music but

471
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: of all time. One of the saddest songs ever written

472
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: in the two thousands, maybe the best song of the

473
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: two thousands. I did win Song of the Year at

474
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the CMA's in two thousand and five. It did fail

475
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: to reach number one. It peaked at number three. Now,

476
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: Tim McGraw, some of this is timing too. Tim mcgral

477
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: had one of those rare multi week number ones with

478
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: a song that still matters, that people still sing in reference.

479
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: Can you name that song? It was a five week

480
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: number one, five week number one, Tim mcgrawl, I would

481
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: bet when you heard this song you went that is

482
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: an amazing song, and I felt that don't take the

483
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: girl Nope. Later uh, I felt that, oh I do

484
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: that with something like that, But I know that's not

485
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: the answer.

486
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: It's an emotional song.

487
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: Hmm. Oh I live like you were dying of course. Yeah. Man.

488
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: And and again that's one that we will be singing

489
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: forever and referencing forever, like I still reference all the

490
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: time for sure.

491
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: Number nine Head's Carolina tells California.

492
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: Dang, that should have been a number one a ten weeker?

493
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: Are you gonna say this after everyone? I just want

494
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: to know now if you want to know, because I

495
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't have put Brad Paisley as a ten weeker. I

496
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: love it, but it should have been a number one.

497
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: Should have been a number one. But Head's Carolina, Okay,

498
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: So that's what you're gonna do. You're gonna say how

499
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: many weeks you think it should have been? Okay, that's fair.

500
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: So heads Carolina tells California two months straight, you think

501
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: it's at least an eight to ten weeks.

502
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: And it's such a jam like so so good.

503
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: It is a ninety standard when we think in nineties

504
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: country music still one of the most iconic hits of

505
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: the decade. When I think of Jody Messina, this is

506
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: the song, although she does have other great songs that

507
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: remind you of that decade.

508
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: It peaked at number two. It was blocked by Brooks

509
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: and Dunn. My Maria, Oh man, well I get it.

510
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, timing gets weird with some of these two.

511
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, number and that's what you're referring to, you know,

512
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 2: with like you gotta take down the champ. Taking down

513
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 2: My Maria must have been so hard. This was when

514
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: the number one' were number one? Yes, how are you

515
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: going to take that one down? Number eight Fancy by Riba, ooh, fancy.

516
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: I'd put fancy a five week number one. I'd put

517
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: like a thirty weeker. No, oh no, too dark. Yeah,

518
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: dude sent his hey hooker. She sent it her daughter out.

519
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: We've already done too many hook Hooker talks here. So

520
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: that was a cover, you know that, right? I didn't

521
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: know that from nineteen sixty nine, Bobby Gentry. Reba's interesting

522
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: because Fancy is a cover and what's.

523
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: Her other cover? The Lights Went Out in Georgia the Night.

524
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: Becky Lawrence, Wow, both cover songs interesting. So Reba's cover

525
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: of the nineteen sixty nine Bobby Gentry track has become

526
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: I think Reba's most signature song.

527
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: Would you say? Yeah? I would like if you were like,

528
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: name a RIBA's song, her famous song, go Fans. I

529
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: think I'd go fancy yep.

530
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: And so it was released again in nineteen ninety one

531
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: by Reba. Hundreds of millions of streams. It only reached

532
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: number eight. Wow, what a shame nineteen ninety one, probably

533
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: because of what the song was about. Yeah, and some people,

534
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: if you just get a few people that don't commit

535
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: to it, just a few that are like, I don't

536
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: really believe that should I don't believe that I should

537
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: be on the radio?

538
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Were these are the days where people would call

539
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: the radio station? Is that why you playing that? Yes?

540
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: I have my kids in the car, yes, Like the

541
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: kids are really listening to the storyline. Oh yeah, I

542
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: didn't listen to any stories. And there'd have been a

543
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: lot of songs back in our day. I was probably

544
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: singing this song word for a word when I was

545
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: a kid. There was a song by Jordan Knight when

546
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: he went solo, and I was probably eighteen or nineteen,

547
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: and I sang it all the time. I never really

548
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: I might have even been younger. I never even knew

549
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: what I was singing, but it was like, baby, you know,

550
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: I will give it to you. Never knew You're like, okay,

551
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: I'm just giving something to her, like a gift. Yeah something.

552
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: Or the one I really think about was baby, when

553
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: we're grinding, I get so excited.

554
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: Next too close. It was all about having a boner

555
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: and dancing with somebody. Yeah do you remember that song?

556
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

557
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: No, no, that kid Hide it makes it really I

558
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: never knew that I was just singing along.

559
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: I used to sing, I wan up you like an animal,

560
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: and I probably that was like cleaning a deer.

561
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: I had no clue what I was singing. Rascal Flat's

562
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: Life is a Highway?

563
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: Oh cover? Yeah, do you know the artist? Ooh god,

564
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: is it? Gosh? I don't know. I'm thinking Joe Wash.

565
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: It's not Joe Wash, it's that, is it? Joe Joe something?

566
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: Tom Cochran, Tom Cochran. I would have gotten there eventually.

567
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: So this song was never even a single. It was

568
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: done for the movie Cars, and then people just started

569
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: playing Wow. There was never like a concerted effort, and

570
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: you don't get a number one unless there's very much

571
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: a concerted effort, because you got to get these promotional

572
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: teams to make sure that all these stations are playing

573
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: it at the same amount at the same time.

574
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: Wow.

575
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: So it was a cover of that song for Cars,

576
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 2: massive crossover two for those guys because they were pop.

577
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: This was a pop song. It was one of the

578
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: most string country songs still is. But because it was

579
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: not a single, it hit number eighteen. And also they

580
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: had My Wish that was the real song at the

581
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: same time. And so when you got two songs going

582
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: and you got one song, everybody's pushing that one was

583
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: just getting played as like a secondary song, and My

584
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Wish was well the number one song.

585
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah. And Cars was such a huge movie that

586
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: it made the song huge. Yeah.

587
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: Tom Carr as a cover of Tom Concran's nineteen ninety

588
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: one single for Cars. I guess Cars was probably if

589
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm guessing.

590
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: He does five, he does six. Ah, so close, you

591
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: were right there, so close. Yeah.

592
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: The original Life as a Highway feels like it's like

593
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: the seventies, Is it not nineteen ninety one.

594
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: Oh, that's crazy. I would have put it seventies too. Yeah.

595
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: I literally just read that again as a cover of

596
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: Tom Cochran's nineteen ninety one sing Wow Yeah Old Read

597
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: Blake Shelton.

598
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: Nah, I mean, I wouldn't even put it as a

599
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: number one. I agree. I don't know why. I'm not

600
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: trying to be mean or anything. It's just not one

601
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: of my favorites.

602
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: I like it, But is a George Jones song originally? Right,

603
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that's written. I'm fairly certain it was

604
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: Georg Jones cover.

605
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

606
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety Blake Shelton put out Old Red one of

607
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: his self proclaimed signature songs. Despite the song being used

608
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: heavily by Blake Shelton both on stage and in marketing,

609
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: the song was shockingly not even a top ten hit, Mike.

610
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: Was it originally by George Jones? It was? That's interesting,

611
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 2: it said self proclaimed because yeah, I mean, I guess

612
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: no one's I wouldn't put that as his number one

613
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: signature song. Yeah.

614
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: Back then he didn't have a bunch of signature songs.

615
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: Some beat that's early black, No, that's that? Oh it

616
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: old Red's pre s Beach. I would assume, yeah, oh

617
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: in Austin pre Austin too. Austin was first, Okay, my

618
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: years are getting mixed up because not even know when

619
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: Georg Jones put it out. Georgones might have put it out,

620
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: and you put it out nine ninety okay, and Blake

621
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: Shelton put it out went two thousand.

622
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean that is it's it's I mean he's got

623
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: restaurants named Old Red. Yeah. Yeah, I mean he has

624
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: made it his staple song that he's known for. Number five.

625
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: Toby Keith read solo cup. Oh man, that's a ten

626
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: that's a ten weeker for me. Oh yeah, I love

627
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 2: that song.

628
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: It peaked at number nine, never hit number eight, seven, six,

629
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: fout four, three, two or one.

630
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: It's funny, And we've talked about the one of the writers,

631
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: Jim Beaver, is talking about how it was just as

632
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: just a dumb, funny song that they wrote.

633
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was kind of a throwaway, goofy song, and

634
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: they recorded it like in their own little room and

635
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: you hear even like Jim and the Riders of yelling

636
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: in the background, and Toby just sang over like.

637
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: The track they had already created. Yeah, so cool. They

638
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: didn't even really go back into the studio and recreate it,

639
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: and that ended up being the one You think that

640
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: would be his his staple song. Should have been a cowboy.

641
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's good. I just said that without thinking, But

642
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean, for sure should have been a cowboy? Is

643
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: I think Toby Keith big one.

644
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: I think there's I think Toby Keith's an artist, so

645
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: that has eras so I think should have been a cowboy.

646
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: That's the that's the bolo era, and I think courtesy

647
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: of the Red, White and Blue the nine eleven era,

648
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: nine to eleven American Area era.

649
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: And then funny Toby is either red Solo cup or

650
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: like you want to I want to tip me?

651
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: No, I know you.

652
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 3: Should have been a Cowboys His most stream song.

653
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: It is I would think to me, that would be

654
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: the quintessential Toby song. But I wouldn't fight you over.

655
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: I saw a cool video of like back in the

656
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: nineties where he's singing it to to uh. Troy Aikman

657
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: is just sitting there like kind of weird. It's awkward

658
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: for sure. It's way before the song was a hit too.

659
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: And I know what it's like for somebody to play

660
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: me a song and they wrote what do you do?

661
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: You have to bob your head, and that's what Troy

662
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: was doing. He was like right men, and Troy's.

663
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Troy's in like a cutoff T shirt.

664
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 2: He was about to go work out. It just got

665
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: out of practice.

666
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: Number four Crazy by Patsy Klein Ooh Crazy Crazy, which

667
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: was famously penned by Willie Nelson, has not only become

668
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: Patsy Cline's signature song, but one of the most iconic

669
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: songs in the history of country music, often being referred

670
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: to as an era defining song.

671
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: I agree with that, yeah, big time.

672
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: Klein never went number one, peaking at number two with Crazy.

673
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: It was blocked by Leroy van Dyck's massive nineteen week

674
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: number one song walk On By, which would remain the

675
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: longest running number one country song in the chart for

676
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: over fifty years. Hold On until Florida Georgia line broke it.

677
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad lyat somebody good broke it good with yes

678
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: with cruise Wow. I'm glad at least somebody with some

679
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: substance ended up breaking.

680
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: That fifty year resud. I was thinking the same thing, man, man,

681
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: when you putting Nelly on it can't stop it. That's

682
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: the thing.

683
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: If what song is that Leroy van Dyke would have

684
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: putten Nelly on walk on By.

685
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: I think would have had another five weeks alive. Can

686
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: just imagine or jaw rule let's walk on By. I

687
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: have no idea like that's I don't even know what

688
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: that is in nineteen week Yeah, I would have put

689
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: crazy over that for sure. Put crazy as a nineteen weeker.

690
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: I think, let's see what year was that, sixty and fifty.

691
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: I don't have a I don't have.

692
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: A year on it, but I would think the life

693
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: expectancy of a human was like nineteen weeks back then,

694
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: is so.

695
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: Old than they have lockjaw at some point. Let's see

696
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: what's his name? Leroy van Dyke nineteen sixty one. Oh,

697
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: dang okay, Leroy van Dyke. His number one song is

698
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: not even walk on By, it's the Auctioneer. But here's

699
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: walk on By. I'll play for my phone down below

700
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: so we don't get shut off. Never heard that. M

701
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: think about Leroy van Dyke. I did really like at

702
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: the beginning of his TV show when he tripped over

703
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: and fell and Mary Tillimore picked him up. Oh, the

704
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: Leroy van Dyke show. Yeah, that was good. It's one

705
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: of the best. Never heard of Leroy man me either,

706
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: that's crazy.

707
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: And I do consider myself a bit of a traditionalist.

708
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: The auctioneer sixteen million.

709
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a jam. Somebody needs to sample this into

710
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: a new song. Yeah, can I suggest Florida Georgia line. Guys,

711
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: they're calling you again. You know those guys. One of

712
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: them is happy as the clamor right now. The other

713
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: is miserable because the other one is happy as a

714
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: clam right now. Yeah, that's interesting how all that turned out.

715
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: Because the one, Tyler has got a bunch of hits.

716
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: The other his wife has a store. Yeah, a successful store. Yeah,

717
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 2: that's that's got to drive him crazy. That's just hard.

718
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: Though Tyler's the voice. He was the voice of Florida

719
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: Georgia line. That's that's easier, you know. That's like, that's

720
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 2: like if Brooks and Done broke up and and and

721
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: they did. I know, but it's gonna be hard for

722
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: Kicks to have a big career because he wasn't the

723
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: voice of Brooks and Done.

724
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: But he did have songs that he sang that were hits. Yeah,

725
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: I know that the Kicks actually had number ones. Where

726
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: he's saying, it's a little different. Also, we shouldn't compare

727
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: Brooks and done to Florida, Georgia.

728
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I got the Eddie and Bobby the Raged idiots

729
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: Like it's like if Eddie tried it. You know, I'm

730
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: the one of the lead singer of the.

731
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: Rage, but you're better singer, so you should have always

732
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: been the singer.

733
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: That's the deal. Yeah, I don't. I gotta be honest.

734
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know Leroy Leroy van Dyke. I'm assuming Mike

735
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: he's not alive anymore. I don't think so.

736
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: Would love to get a Bobby cast and hear the stories.

737
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 2: Of yesteryear if he's available.

738
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: He had a nineteenth week number one song.

739
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing. That's wild.

740
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: Not in one of the few not pretty by actually

741
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: Gorley written or produced?

742
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, written, ye, written alive. He is ninety six years old, dude.

743
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: You got to get him in to talk about that story.

744
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: You talk about how Patsy was upset with him. Man

745
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: at ninety six, that's a tough interview, I man, I

746
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: have to get him on the telegraph.

747
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not even about him, it's just ninety six

748
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: is a tough ye.

749
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: It's a tough age.

750
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: The younger or the older, they are the tougher they get.

751
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: For the most part. That's pretty cool. He's still with us.

752
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: Step was not a number one song, Shania Twain. Man,

753
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: I felt like a woman. That's ridiculous.

754
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: Despite being one of the highest streamed country songs of

755
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: all time with over seven million streams, and being one

756
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: of the best selling country albums of all time, the

757
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: two time Diamonds certified, Come on over, man, I feel

758
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: like a woman failed to reach number one. It did, however,

759
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: chart well and over a dozen countries, even going number

760
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: one in New Zealand. Oh wow, but never hit number

761
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: one here on the country chart. Does it say who

762
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: blocked it? Yes, it sure does Lee Roy van Dyck.

763
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: With cruise. This is how we rolled. I'm not gonna lie.

764
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: Leroy Vandyke looks pretty good for ninety six. I see

765
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: a birthday post he turned ninety six three weeks ago.

766
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: Does he still live in town? No? Oh he doesn't.

767
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Was the birthday post a selfie?

768
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: Please tell me as a selfie? No, I was him

769
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: with somebody else.

770
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: Okay, the Bobby Cast will be right back. This is

771
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: the Bobby Cast.

772
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: Number two. Colin Baton, Rouge, Garth Brooks, Dang, yeah you

773
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: know that's a weird one because huge Garth Brooks song,

774
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: but not one that I remember would stand out as

775
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 2: a radio song. What mm hmm. Like you know, obviously

776
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: Friends in the Places, all those the River, like those

777
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 2: are big songs that I remember on the radio. Colin

778
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: Baton Rouge, I don't remember a big radio song.

779
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: I have like two tiers of Garth songs, songs that

780
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: I feel were awesome and everybody knows and songs that

781
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: I know were really good that some people know. And

782
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: I think that line is like Beaches of Cheyenne is

783
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: like right below the line is the first song below

784
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: Fresh Horses even lower, I think, because I like, I

785
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: like Beaches of Cheyenne, but I think that's the first

786
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: one that hits that lower tier.

787
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Colin Baton Rouge is up in that upper tier.

788
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: Through that's a top twelve to fifteen song. Yeah, I

789
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: think third album, third album in pieces, but I think

790
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 2: that like the big songs off that album were like

791
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: in Going Down to the Sun comes up standing Outside

792
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: the Fire. Oh if we.

793
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: Listed Garth in order, now, would we list gen Pop's favorite,

794
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: because obviously Jen pops number one Garth Brooks song of

795
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: all time his friends in little places, not mine.

796
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, not mine either.

797
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: But Colin Baton Rouge would be in that top tier

798
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: for sure. But it was number two, but it was

799
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: blocked out for seven weeks by two different songs, so

800
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: it was number two for seven weeks. Okay, it was

801
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: blocked out by Brooks and Dune, which I don't I

802
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: love Brooks and Done. I don't think this song's bigger

803
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: than Colin Baton Rouge. A big song for them.

804
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: She's not the gee cat. Yeah, not as big as back.

805
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: That was number one for three weeks, and then Alan

806
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Jackson had a four week number one with a song

807
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't feel as as big as Colin Baton Rouge,

808
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: but is great living known mane.

809
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: No Time without Somebody other than Anywhere, the dumb great song.

810
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: I feel like Colin Baton Rouge is bigger than both

811
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: of them.

812
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 2: I agree with you, But though those other two songs

813
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: were pretty big.

814
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe you don't think Colin Baton Rouge is

815
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 1: like an elite Garths.

816
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: It is an elite Garth song, but it was almost

817
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: an elite Garth song because we were Garth fans. I

818
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: don't know way I don't remember it being a huge

819
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: song on K frog. Was that your country was our

820
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: country station K Frog. There were a lot of K Frogs,

821
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: but I didn't know that was yours down in the valley.

822
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: Number one, never a number one song. Then Dune and

823
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: Doom Doom, Oh Amarilla not a number one Yeah, blasphemy.

824
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: M o Rillo by Morning is George Strait's signature song.

825
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: He has over sixty number one hits, and it did

826
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: not hit number one. It peaked at number four April

827
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, and that is his staple song. Yeah,

828
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: and I know he didn't write it, but was he

829
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: the first to record it?

830
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: No? Wait, wait didn't we We've talked about this where

831
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: there was one that sounds it's like a it's like

832
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: a demo, very low quality that we've played before, and

833
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 2: then someone else and then George.

834
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: So it was recorded three times if I recall correctly.

835
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: Let's go over to our fact checker, Mike, because I

836
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: know again George Strait is the Kenny Chesney or Kenny

837
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: Chesney is the George Straight of then where they both

838
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: pick great songs about the people. They don't write a

839
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: lot of their songs and they're massive stars, and I'm

840
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: not even comparing the two like as a country cultural impact.

841
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: But Kenny can write songs, but he just goes and

842
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: finds the best. He didn't really write a bunch of songs,

843
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: which they're skilling that finding good songs. Yeah, but you

844
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: have to write good enough songs at the beginning for

845
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: the most part, to even have the option to get

846
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: good songs pitched to you. Mike what he got originally

847
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: by Harry Stafford, who also wrote it and put.

848
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: It out back in nineteen seventy three. So just one

849
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: and as it mentioned anything about Leroy van Dyke.

850
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: In that entire description, did not steal Roy on this one.

851
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm so curious about Leroy van Dyke. I know, so

852
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: congratulations George Strait am Marilla by Morning. That's crazy never

853
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: a number one song. Other ones that were never number one,

854
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: just as honorable mentions. This is so old school because

855
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: I don't really know what the charts were like then,

856
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: But I'm so lonesome I could cry. Hank Wiamsat Williams

857
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: go rest high on that mountain.

858
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 2: Vince Gill very slow.

859
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if that mattered as much back then,

860
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: but it only peaked a number fourteen. In nineteen ninety five,

861
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: Willie Nelson Whiskey River peaked at number twelve as a

862
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: jam Midnight Montgomery Alan Jackson, that's a good one. It

863
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: peaked at number three, but it could never pass well

864
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: two songs because I like Midnight. It's a great song, Alan,

865
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: but it couldn't beat two songs. One why known as

866
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: cover of I Saw the Light, But I wonder what

867
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: which I saw the light?

868
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: That was I saw the Light? Huh? And then and

869
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: Billy ray A Can Break Your Heart. Oh well, that's

870
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 2: some that was massive. Yeah, forty week forty week number

871
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: one for sure. The other was in in Color by

872
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 2: Jamie Johnson, peaked at number nine, ifthing else and Bershon

873
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: should have seen Bad Deed Bad you should have seen

874
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: it in color. I should have seen it in color.

875
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: You should have seen it in color.

876
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: It So those were songs that never actually hit number one.

877
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: What are your final thoughts on that?

878
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, some of them for a good reason.

879
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: But I love, dude, I just love I wish we

880
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: can go back to those. You know, you have to

881
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: take down number one to be number one, because that

882
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 2: that that to me makes more sense for a lot

883
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: of these big songs to not hit number one, Shanaiah,

884
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: I get it. It would be a little more fair

885
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: if like was like Rick Flair explain, to be the man,

886
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: you got to beat the man who? And I am

887
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: the man. And that's not about what happened. It's a

888
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: better model financially for country music to have more number

889
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 2: one sure, And then that what this town loves to do.

890
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: Share the wealth. I don't know about sharing it, make

891
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: the wealth, but but they're but they're really good at

892
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: like splitting.

893
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: The pie up, yes, because they want more of the pie.

894
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: Who the town I don't think. I don't think this

895
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: town is some charity that's like everybody deserves.

896
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 2: No. But they've almost designed it to where like, Okay,

897
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: we're all going to make money here, not just one person.

898
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 1: Because they can make more money doing it that way individually.

899
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna tell you one thing about

900
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: this town. No good hearts running around. It ain't good

901
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: hearts running around. I'm curious before we leave, though, Leroy

902
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: van Dyke, Yes.

903
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: Book him. I'll pick him up, dude, I'll bring him

904
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: over here. I don't trust it, but.

905
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask my assistant to just give me

906
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: a brief overview of his life and career. Hello, I'm

907
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: curious about the country singer Leroy van Dyke. My friend

908
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: and I were discussing him and did not know much

909
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: about him. Could you give me a semi brief overview,

910
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: maybe a couple minutes long, about the lifetimes and success

911
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: of Leroy Van Dyke.

912
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'd be happy to give you the rundown.

913
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 6: So Leroy van Dyke is definitely a name that rings

914
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 6: a bell in the world of classic country music. He

915
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 6: was born in nineteen twenty nine in Missouri, and he's

916
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 6: known not just as a country singer, but also as

917
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 6: an auctioneer and a songwriter. In fact, one of his

918
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 6: early claims to him was a song called the Auctioneer,

919
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 6: which he wrote based on his own experience as you

920
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 6: guest did an auctioneer.

921
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 5: That song became a big hit in the mid nineteen

922
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 5: fifties and really.

923
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 6: Put him on the map. But probably his most famous

924
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 6: and enduring hit is walk On By, which came out

925
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 6: in nineteen sixty one. That song was a massive success

926
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 6: on the country charts and even crushed over a bit

927
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 6: into the pop charts. It's one of those classic country

928
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 6: songs that's really stood the test of time. Over his career,

929
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 6: Leroy van Dyke recorded a bunch of albums, performed internationally,

930
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 6: and became known for his smooth, polished style and that

931
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 6: kind of era of country music that blended honky Tonk

932
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 6: was a bit of a pop sensibility. He's been active

933
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 6: for many decades, and even into his later years he

934
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 6: was still performing and making appearances.

935
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 5: So that's the jest. He's a country music veteran with

936
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 5: a couple of iconic hits, especially walk on By, and

937
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 5: a career that spanned.

938
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: A bit long. While you know what I'm listening to

939
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 2: this week, le Van Dyke, Well, there you have it. Ooh,

940
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: Live with the Broken Spoke? All right? What year? I

941
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: thought the spokes were still all together back then. Now

942
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 2: it's just he's just in front of it on an

943
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: out before it spoke broke. Bro dude, you know what,

944
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: this episode was way better than the last one. What

945
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 2: was the last one? Do the death of the last one?

946
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: I did with you? That one wasn't bad. I liked it.

947
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't that. It's just I thought about it all

948
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: week too, and I even went more deep dive into

949
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: Randy Rhodes and like you.

950
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: Should, you should tell that story. So in the an

951
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: episode we did Back in Time Go Look at Celebrity

952
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 1: Tragic Deaths, we did this episode and we talked about

953
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: different musical artists who died in tragic ways, and one

954
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: of them was Randy Rhodes, who was the guitar player

955
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: for Black Sabbath Ozzie.

956
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, did he play for Black Sabbath? Though I think

957
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 2: it was just just Ozzy because Ozzie was in Black Sabbath.

958
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: I just assumed it was when Ozzi went on.

959
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: Probably assumed wrong, and that's on me, I believe. So

960
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: when asked my assistant, yes, please, okay, do you want

961
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: to ask her about the Randy Roads thing?

962
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 2: Yeah? See what she says, Hey, got a question for you.

963
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: So we're talking about Randy Rhodes, the guitarist, and we're

964
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 1: wondering one if he played for Ozzy Osbourne and Black

965
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: Sabbath or just Ozzy Osbourne? And can you give me

966
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: some details about his tragic death in the airplane.

967
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 5: Absolutely, let's dive into that.

968
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: So Randy Rose was indeed the legendary.

969
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 6: Guitarist who played for Ozzy Osbourne, but he never actually

970
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 6: played for Black Sabbath. What happened is that after Ozzy

971
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 6: was out of Black Sabbath, he started his solo career,

972
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 6: and Randy was his guitarist in that solo band. So

973
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 6: Randy's name is really tied to Ozzie's early solo work

974
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 6: albums like Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman,

975
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 6: rather than Black Sabbath itself.

976
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 5: As for his tragic death, it's a really sad story.

977
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 6: Randy Roads died in a plane crash in nineteen eighty

978
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 6: two when he was just twenty five years old. The

979
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 6: band was on tour in Florida, and during a rest stop,

980
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 6: the tour bus driver, who also happened to be a pilot,

981
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 6: decided to take a few people up in a small

982
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 6: plane for a quick flight. They made a couple of

983
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 6: successful passes, but then on another pass, the plane clipped.

984
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 6: The tour bus lost control and crashed into a nearby house.

985
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 6: Randy and two others on the plane were killed instantly.

986
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 6: It was a huge loss to the music world because

987
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 6: Randy was known for his incredible talent and innovative guitar work.

988
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 6: Even though his career was relatively short, he had a

989
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 6: big influence on heavy bettal guitar playing and is still

990
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 6: remembered as one of the grace.

991
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: Was there a story about they were using the airplane

992
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: to buzz the tour bus as kind of as a

993
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: practical joke.

994
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 5: Yes, that's exactly right.

995
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 6: So the plane crash that killed Randy Rhodes did involve

996
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 6: what was essentially a really reckless prank. The pilot, who

997
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 6: was also the band's tour bus driver, was trying to

998
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 6: buzz the tour bus, basically flying really low and close

999
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 6: to it to scare surprise the people inside. It was

1000
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 6: meant to be a kind of the air deevil joke,

1001
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 6: but it went horribly wrong. On one of those passes,

1002
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 6: the plane got too close, clipped the bus, and then crashed.

1003
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 6: So yeah, the whole incident was kind of the result

1004
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 6: of this ill conceived stunt that went tragically out of control.

1005
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 6: It's a pretty heartbreaking story all around.

1006
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: A couple things from that one. I like it when

1007
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 2: her emotion changes, Oh, she got like, yeah, it's pretty sad.

1008
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean she's it sounds like a human man.

1009
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so what I didn't know from you because

1010
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: you went deeper down this and people actually saw them

1011
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: in the plane.

1012
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a couple things. So I when we were

1013
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: talking about the story, I thought it was nighttime. I

1014
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: don't know, it felt like just a nighttime antics to

1015
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: do this. It wasn't. It was early in the day.

1016
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 2: The bus driver knew the bus drive the bus company,

1017
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: and he knew that the owner lived in Florida and

1018
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 2: that they were having air conditioning problems and they could

1019
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 2: just stop during the day and they can fix it.

1020
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: So they had stopped there to get the bus fixed,

1021
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 2: and while the bus was being worked on, he was like, oh,

1022
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: there's a plane right there. I'm a pilot, although he

1023
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: had been doing drugs on Wait, it wasn't his plane,

1024
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: it wasn't even their planet. On the property there was

1025
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 2: a runway.

1026
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: They didn't even like going lease the plane.

1027
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no. The owner of the bus company

1028
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 2: owned a couple of planes and even had a runway

1029
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 2: in his property. And so he says, let's go, I'll

1030
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 2: fly the plane. I'm a pilot. You know, I'm a pilot.

1031
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 2: And so it's on drugs. He'd been doing drugs all night.

1032
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: Randy Rhodes and the hairdresser were like, we'll go with you,

1033
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: and he didn't say anything. We're gonna prank. We're just

1034
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: gonna go up on the plane. Randy Rose was a photographer,

1035
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: so he took his I'll take my camera, I'll get

1036
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 2: pictures up there, and the hairdressers like that sounds fun.

1037
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: While they were in the air, that's when he was like,

1038
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: watch this. So it wasn't a prank to begin with.

1039
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: Get in, let's prank. Correct, Oh my god. Correct. And

1040
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 2: so the tour manager and some of the band members

1041
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: heard the first buzz flyover, got out of the bus, like,

1042
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 2: what's happening. They saw it. They did it again the

1043
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: third time. They could see there was struggle in the cockpit.

1044
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: Meaning whomever was in there didn't want to do that, meaning.

1045
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: Like stop, stop doing this. And then once that happened,

1046
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: they clicked. They clipped the wing clip the tour bus

1047
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: and then it hit a house that was nearby. Bizarre, dude, bizarre,

1048
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: And that's crazy. When we first talked about it, I

1049
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: always shook when we first talked about it, But here

1050
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: that those layers and in my head too him like

1051
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 2: that's so rock and roll, that's so eighties. But then

1052
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: you get the real store and it's like, dude, Randy

1053
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: didn't you want to be on? Like he didn't even

1054
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 2: want to be part of that, Like it wasn't.

1055
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: Because I think it's him being crazy and a playing

1056
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: same because he's a rock and roll metal guitarist. Let's

1057
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: go do some pranks and fly and tour and bust.

1058
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: Some people live young, live hard.

1059
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 2: Same. But no, it was just a dude who was like,

1060
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 2: I can fly. Yeah, And while he was up there,

1061
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 2: he's like, oh my god, very sad. So that's why

1062
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: AI said, yeah, the whole episode was pretty dark. It

1063
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 2: was dude, But I thought about that all week after

1064
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 2: we take we taped that episode, and like I called

1065
