WEBVTT - MON PT 2: Bobby's Q+A On Rejection, Feeling Less Famous, And The Segment He’s Over 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:04.640 Boones everybody, we're gonna do a Q and A. And 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:06.160 so I did one of these on my Instagram and 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:08.680 I said, hey, just ask your questions. The problem is 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:10.440 I get a lot of great questions, but then it 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.399 just takes forever to type and I'm not going to 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:14.840 do a bunch of videos, so I thought we would 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.520 answer them here. So I've grabbed a few of these, 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.520 all right. Number one, how do you deal with the 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:26.920 scrutiny that comes with your jobs. I think that I've 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:31.320 been able to grow in my job with the scrutiny 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.040 that comes with my job. Meaning whenever I was starting 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.320 out in Hot Springs, Arkansas, there was just a slight 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.040 better scrutiny, like cople maybe a couple calls on the 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.199 little quest line and so you start to call us 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.960 up just a little. And then I go a little 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.000 Rock and it's a little more, but not much. Then 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.600 I go to Austin and then I'm doing mornings, and 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.960 then that starts to get pretty rough. Austin was weird 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.240 and rough though, because there was another morning show that 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:01.640 were just awful, awful, awful people and like they started 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.240 to like rattle the cage. And so I've been fortunate 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.319 enough to grow with it and now it's all the time. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.640 But I think had I just been dunked into this, 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:13.480 And I feel bad for some people who go on 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.600 like a television show and they've never done anything in media. 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.560 They haven't been known at all. They go on television 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.920 show or podcast and all of a sudden, they're famous, 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.920 and they're getting crushed like they didn't have the luxury 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.080 of growing with that. I oddly remember an episode of 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:35.600 Home Improvement where Wilson was talking about kids and having kids, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.520 and Wilson was the guy behind the fence. You never 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.920 saw his face until like the final episode, and even 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.000 when they would come out, because sometimes they would show 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.000 where the whole cast would come out and they'd be 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.200 like and tim aland waved to the crowd and they 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.280 would say Wilson, and Wilson would come out but would 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.280 still hold that fence in front of his face. So 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.960 for those that don't know, we didn't have the internet 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.440 back in the nineties, not to see Wilson's face Rest 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.400 in peace, by the way, but he came out in 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.440 the final episode and showed his face, and it's kind 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.920 of weird, I'll be honest with you. But he said 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.680 it in an episode once and he was talking about 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.160 having children and how hard it's going to be when 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.080 they get older, and he said, you know, you get 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.919 to grow as a parent as the kid grows as 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.560 a kid. So you're learning little things while the kid 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.440 is learning little things, and you're learning hard little things, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.120 while the kid is learning hard little things, and you're 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.080 learning mid hard things while the kids learning mid you 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.720 have the ability to grow with that child being a parent, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.520 And I just kind of feel like that's a bit 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.200 of what my job is. I have the luxury to 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.760 have started at a very small place and have grown 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.880 through the years to a level now which is wild. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:53.960 So ninety six percent of the time, it's just another day. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.800 Every once in a while, I am human. I think 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.840 I was talking to someone on a podcast about this recently. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.400 If I'm having a weird day, a bad day, or 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.400 I didn't get enough sleep type of day, I don't 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.399 look at anything because I know, regardless of what said, 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.920 if it's bad, my conditions are already not good and 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.280 it's going to make me even more not good. But 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.400 for the most part, I feel like I'm pretty good 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.480 with it because I've grown with it. I also have 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:25.000 an understanding of people that are the scrutinizers on the 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:30.079 Internet in that there's a reason that they do that 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.239 on the Internet, probably because they don't really have much else, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.240 much else of a voice, right. I think the easiest 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.600 voice to be heard is the voice that's loud and angry, 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.720 and I think that's what the Internet is. I have 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.320 a role too. I don't go to comments unless it's Tuesday. Tuesday, 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.000 I dive in. I'll dive into Twitter comments occasionally. I'll 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.440 look at Instagram comments a little more than on just 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.680 Tuesday if there's a reason for me to do it, 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.320 or if I'm going to reply to some stuff to 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.119 help engagement. But Twitter doesn't matter. Twitter's accessible. I still 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.360 love it for like new but Twitter's assess pool. But 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.880 I don't go to Facebook at all, and never look 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.800 at Facebook, don't look at any message boards, don't look 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.320 at Reddit. I haven't been to those places in literal 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.320 years because there's no benefit for me to go to 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:16.560 those places. Also, the anger that's online not just to me. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.640 But I look at someone like Logan Paul who he's 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.440 killing it. He's one of the best ww wrestlers. He's 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.400 one of the biggest creators period, millions of dollars. Like, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.080 he's so popular except if unless you look, if you 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.359 look online, everybody hates him. But that's the thing. Logan 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.160 Paul is so popular, But because people only use their 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.920 voice for the most part for ugly things, you would 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:46.599 just think Logan Paul is so hated. So I'm able 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:51.800 to see that pendulum. I actually need it. It's not 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.600 good for my mental health, and I don't expose myself 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.080 to it. But if people stop talking about me in 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.799 a negative way, if I come at a crime or something, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.279 I deserve negative But if people stop talking about me 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.360 in a negative way, opinions on things that I'm doing, 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:12.479 why I'm not good at something, people don't care. On 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.440 the other side either. And for as much as people 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.920 you can say love or enjoy the show or enjoy 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.400 me or what they do like, it swings both ways. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.600 So as much as I'm loved is as much as 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.960 I'm hated. And that has been the constant since the 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.200 very beginning of all of this. And if it went away, 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.719 if I saw there was nothing being said bad about me, Ever, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.960 I also have to understand there's nothing good being said 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.800 about me because I'm not making a difference at all, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.360 Like I'm not resonating at all. So if you do 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.240 want to do things and be loved, you have to 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.440 understand that people are going to hate you for the 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.320 same reason that people are loving you. And also I've 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.320 been lucky enough to be calloused by it. I think 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.760 that's my answer to that, and then only go on Tuesday. 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.160 That's my answer to that too. What would you say 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.760 to someone moving to Nashville or getting into any creative 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.560 field for the first time. This is a good one. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.680 I get this a lot, mostly from new artists that 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.800 are already here, some that are thinking of moving here 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.800 or moving here. So the first thing that you'll do 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.560 when you go anywhere new and it doesn't have to 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.560 be anything creative. It could be even I was a 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.760 new kid in school a lot. Being a new kid 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:22.520 in school sucks because you never start right When school 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.760 starts in the morning. They always open the door at 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.839 like eleven ten in the middle of the third period, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.600 and they go, this is your new student, And everybody 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.280 looks up and they look at the new student. And 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.480 then you go and sit an empty desk and everybody's 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.800 kind of looking at you as they're still trying to 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.680 pay attention to the teacher. It sucks being a new student, 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.680 but the first thing that you do as a new 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.520 student is you find your crew. And usually the crew 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.280 that you meet on your first day of school, second 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.479 day of school, that's not really your crew. That's just 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.040 people that are nice, or people that don't have friends 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.800 that oh well, or people that doesn't end up being 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.920 your crew. But the sooner you find and go through them, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.080 you find your real people. Like I would say the 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.719 first thing you do when you get here or get 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.080 anywhere or new job is like find your people. And 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.080 then in the creative world, I would encourage people to 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.840 understand and accept that there is something that is a 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.000 healthy jealousy, not an unhealthy jealousy. There is a lot 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.640 of unhealthy jealousy that manifests itself in ways that are 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.119 really ugly, especially in this town, especially within artists here. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.960 But I think a healthy jealousy and I would give 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.440 you a comparison. I have a very healthy jealousy to 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.560 one of my really good friends, I would even say 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.160 best like media friends. Who is Charlemagne the god in 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.520 New York, Like I message him all the time going 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.880 I cannot believe you're getting to do this. I'm so jealous, 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.800 and I'm literally jealous, but not in a way that's negative. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.600 If anything, I am jealous, but I'm more inspired by 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.760 watching him do it. So I would say, find your 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.840 crew and understand that the crew is gonna have different 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.760 levels of successes at all different times, Like you're gonna 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.560 pop while they're not. They're gonna pop while you're not, Like, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.280 maintain that, and then also understand that it's so to 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.920 be jealous if it's a healthy jealousy, and that you're 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:07.440 open about it, because I have it, especially with Charlott Magne, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.760 and he probably would say that he has it similarly 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.440 with me at times too, So that would be what 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.480 I would say. And then also just do it. The 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.600 hardest part of anything just doing it, even going to 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.160 work out, Like I hate working out. The hardest part 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.560 of my going to work out. It's not running or lifting, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.200 it's just freaking putting my shoes on and going and starting. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.400 So go, just go, go, start, just go and figure 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.760 it out, because no one's going to have all the 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.400 answers until they get there, and then they're still not 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.040 going to have all the answers, but at least now 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.440 you're in the middle of it and you're creating something 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.599 number three, would you say you are more successful or 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:49.120 less successful than five years ago? It's mixed. Here's a 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.720 situation that I think I deal with a lot I 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.080 never get, especially in the TV space. I can do that. First. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.680 I don't ever get the big shows that I get 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.719 mentioned for, but I don't want and pass on any 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.320 of the small shows. So it's like this purgatory. Like 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:10.160 I remember whenever Noamy was coming out, this is four 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.560 or five years ago, and they were like, man, you'd 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.680 be perfect to host Noamy. That may not be what 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.240 it's called. It was called let's make a Deal, and 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.760 there's a version of it now Noamy and pressure Luck, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.120 thank you, and man. I thought I had that job, 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.080 and then they gave it to Elizabeth Banks and I 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.240 was like, ah, dang, she's actually famous, so she kind 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.200 of deserves that job. There have been a couple of 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.360 those big shows that I don't get, and then if 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.719 it's a little show, I don't really take it. I 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.480 don't really do any like one offs anymore for TV, 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.520 meaning I don't really fly to California because I would 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.640 go and do like a red carpet here. I don't 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.760 really do those anymore, so I would say in that space, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.760 probably I'm not doing as much, so probably less. But 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.720 I think that's because I've dedicated so much to building 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.079 a lot of this, A lot of what we have now. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.679 Bobbycast is now on Netflix, which is great. We've built studios, 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.720 I've got a bunch of shows on my podcast network, 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.079 the radio show like Financially, I have never been better, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.240 So I think that's probably part of the reason. I 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.760 also think that I'm less if the word's famous, I'm 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.160 less famous than I used to be. But I think 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.920 everybody's kind of less famous than they used to be 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:25.520 because famous not it doesn't exist at the level that 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.200 it used to. Like you could have a TikTok channel 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.520 on broccoli and be the leader and be the number 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.559 one broccoli influencer, and someone would see you walking down 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.480 the street and be like, holy crap, that's Frankie the 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:40.160 broccoli guy, and you are famous to them. So less 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.320 famous although I don't ever feel like I got fully famous. 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.640 I've flirted with fame for about three years. I had 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.120 a good run of about three years where most places 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.520 I went people kind of that doesn't happen as much 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.880 in Nashville. It really happens medium to very little other 0:10:55.880 --> 0:11:00.480 places more so. But I think I'm probably I don't 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.319 really have a good answer there. It's just different now. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.200 But I'm still getting to make stuff that's pretty cool, 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.920 and I'm owning a lot more stuff of my own, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.240 which is pretty cool. So I think there's a lot 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.760 of freedom in that. There's another question, would you go 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.560 on Dancing with the Stars if they did a winners episode? 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.760 Is that what they're called, because I know they've done 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.200 those episodes where they bring back past champions. Maybe it's 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.160 an all Stars. Maybe it was called like Dancing with 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.679 the Stars all Stars and they brought back people, and 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.920 maybe it wasn't even just winners, but people who were 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.040 really good. No, No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't because there's 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.400 really nothing for me to gain. I will always be 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:44.120 the guy that won and people can't believe he won. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.800 And I've said this before. What's weird about that whole 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.640 situation is and it feels like yesterday and twenty years 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.720 ago at the same time. What's weird about that is 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.320 I wasn't even the bad dancer on on my season, 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.680 like I wasn't good, but I wasn't like the bad 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.040 dance because every season there's like a bad dancer that 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.120 lasts a long time and they're like kick them off. 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.760 Can't believe it. I wasn't that on my season, which 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.480 is what was crazy. I'm the bad winner, but I 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.920 really wasn't the bad dancer, And in no way am 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.400 I saying I'm a good dancer. But it was just 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.080 weird to go from. I really wasn't getting a whole 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.000 lot of hate during my season because I wasn't the 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:28.080 worst one that kept existing. It just happened really after 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.040 I won the show because I was the bad winner. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.480 But I don't think I would do a winner's episode 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.400 because I think I'd be the first to go. They'd 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:41.160 sacrifice me somehow. I'd be out of there. I'd be 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.320 like a side character in a horror movie. I'd go 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.160 down and check the basement way early. Next thing, you know, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.240 I'm out of there and I'm a winner. I left 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:50.800 the show. I'm a winner. I don't have anything to 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.319 prove and dance. I would go back for you know, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.040 if they were like, hey, would you guess judge or 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.040 I was almost host of the show, and I have 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:00.959 an interview with Tom Berger coming up on the Bobbycast 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.360 soon where we talk about that. But no, I would 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.800 not go back and do a whole season. Even if 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.640 they said, well, you come back and do a dance 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.960 with somebody like you know they do like the triple 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.840 three way or I don't know what they call that. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.760 That kind of sounds pervy. I don't even know that 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.439 I'd have to really consider even doing that because I 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:27.240 think that I would hurt the person dancing unless they 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.959 were of limited dance ability. I don't know that I 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.000 would go back either because I know my role there. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.720 How do you keep the show or podcast from being boring? Well, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.360 the answer there is I don't always. I think there 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.840 are times where the show and I don't think it's 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.120 purposefully and I don't think I always know when it's happening. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.400 But it usually it catches when the show can get 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:58.520 stale because we're doing not the same things but the 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.720 same formula because it's work working well and we're told, hey, 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.400 you're killing it in these cities, and it's like, well, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.559 maybe I'm not as fulfilled by it. But I'll give 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:12.440 you an example. Don't hold this hands me. I could 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.160 never do tell me something good again and be happy. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.719 I could kick tell me something good that segment in 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:21.080 the balls and just ride off into the sunset. That 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:25.680 segment tests so high. I don't hate the segment. I 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.040 just get tired of doing it, Like I feel like 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.920 there's something else maybe I want to talk about there. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.320 But people enjoy that segment, So I'm going to keep 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.720 doing that segment as long as people enjoy it. Kind 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.960 of my job. That thing could die and I'll be okay. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.640 We've been doing that for twenty plus years. Like I 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.840 actually own the trademark to it to tell me something good. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.280 I just made before I said this here. I made 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.920 sure last week. I own the trademark to anything that 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.920 tell me something good audio as a segment in any 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.840 of that, because we've been doing it for so long, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.600 and I've paid for the trademark. But and there are times, 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.480 for sure where things can get stale, especially doing it 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:07.080 this long, or some change has to happen. So how 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.200 do I keep it from being boring? I don't always. 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.320 I try to, but I don't always. And I do 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.920 understand that if you just do something for a long time, 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.760 it can get stale. There are podcasts of shows that 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.480 I've listened to and I'd be like, I'm just kind 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.400 of bored by it now, And sometimes I go back 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.120 and it's way better and changed, and hopefully that happens 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.880 with us that if people leave, they give us a 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.760 break to come back and there's something fresh about it. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.160 I think there's also something to the fact that I've 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.120 had the same crew and this is a positive for 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.520 twenty years, that we could fall into that pretty easily. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:42.600 But also like there's some real consistency, familiarity, there's some 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:49.600 comfortability with all of us doing it together for so long. Listen, 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.760 if it were a miserable place to work, people wouldn't 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.320 be last in twenty years. I promise you. I'm not 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.320 always the easiest guy to work for. I have no patience. 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:03.360 But if it wasn't generally a wonderful place to work 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.720 and we weren't winning on a wonderful level, there wouldn't 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.440 be these wonderfully long careers of all of us working 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.880 together for twenty plus years. So yeah, I don't have 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.160 a good answer, except sometimes it does get stale, and 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.880 I apologize for that. Do you ever hang out with 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:27.760 artists after an interview almost never. I was trying to 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.520 think of times if it's a friend and it's hey, 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.120 come and do the podcast, and then we'll go get 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.680 some dinner or something, and that's pre planned out because 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:42.560 there's a friendship involved. Yes, but it's so rare. Brett 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.880 Eldridge and I was one of my best friends. Maybe 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.360 the last time he came over, we went to just 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.360 eat after it, because we hang out a couple times 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.200 a week. So but it'd have to be something like that. 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.920 I have made friends from doing the podcast, meaning my 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.400 introduction to people were in this environment because this is 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.120 a very intimate environment. I meaning we're not naked filling 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.480 each other's holes, but we are sitting a few feet 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:12.840 from each other, relying on each other. Because I'm asking 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.119 a question, I'm trusting that they're going to give me 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:19.600 a good answer. They're trusting that when they're done talking, 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.120 I'm going to follow up or go somewhere at least 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:23.720 for good ones. Like there's a lot of trust and 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.720 intimacy involved in a one on one interview that's thirty 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:31.560 forty fifty sixty seventy minutes, and so there have been 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.320 friends that have come from it. I would say one 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:39.920 of them is Been Rector, Been Rector Artist. Whoa whoa, whoa, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.920 whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. That's one of his songs. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.240 Maybe you've heard it. He's a dear friend of mine 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.760 now and he is from Oklahoma, went to school at 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.560 University of Arkansas, and I knew his music, but I 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.600 never met him, and I had friends that knew him 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.040 and they were I was like, Ben Rector, it's a 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.320 great guy. And I was like, I don't care. And 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:07.560 so we did an interview and it reminded me that 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.439 I hadn't met him once in a Southwest flight in 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.280 line for the bathroom and I was like, Ben Rector 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.520 and he was like guy, and I was like, that's right, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.760 I'm a guy. And so we had that memory and 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.640 we sat and we talked and we did this interview 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.639 and you can again it's a very intimate thing. And 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.920 then after that we just I think started dming. Now 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.120 our families know each other. Now my wife and his 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.479 wife will just make plans to go spend time together 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.000 like it's like that. So I have had instances where 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.639 that has happened, where I've sat with people become friends 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.000 with them through this, or at least that's launched the 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.040 possibility of a friendship. But no, no, really, we don't 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.960 hang out after interviews becase I'm tired. It's I'd compare 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:52.400 it to being on a seven or eight hour road 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:53.800 trip where you're like, why am I tired? I've done 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.240 nothing but sit here for seven or eight hours, But 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.080 your brains had to work the whole time, even if 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.639 you know it isn't working. Your brains had to work 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.080 the whole time. Because I'm going, Okay, what are they answering? 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:03.320 I want to listen to what they're saying. I want 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:04.760 to follow up with what they're saying. I have a 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:06.359 point that I want to get to. I have a 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.800 full narrative that I think I think would be great. Nope, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.120 not doing that, got a pivot. All this is happening, 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.720 and so after it's over, I'm tired. That being said, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.760 I guess Luke Combs, we did a Bobbycast recently and 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:25.040 we probably stayed around fifteen minutes just talking, like off cameras, 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.439 just catching up. I like loop, but that's rare, and 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:34.840 that's probably the most Yeah, but almost never all right, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.359 two more, four more? What's the worst piece of advice 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:45.399 you've ever gotten, to be patient, because a lot of 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:51.320 times patients just turn simply into waiting. It's not strategically 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.240 waiting for something, it's just I'll just wait. I have 0:19:54.320 --> 0:20:00.359 found it has been way more beneficial to me to 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:04.479 be aggressive, even if it's unsuccessful. Then do be patient, 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.439 because if you do something and it goes wrong, at 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.119 least you know it was wrong. If you do nothing 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.480 and nothing happens, you don't know if it's right or wrong. 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.960 And if you do something wrong, you can always make 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.800 a judgment and change your pattern. If you're just waiting, 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.919 you really can't do anything. You're not doing anything, And 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.879 a lot of times patience turns into paralysis, especially for me. 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.080 So when people say just be patient about this or that, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.400 I find that to be extremely negative advice. But also, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.080 like I said earlier, I'm not patient. I'm not a 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.720 patient person at all. I even talk fast, like everything 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.360 about me is fast. I can't sleep at night because 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.280 my brain's going five hundred miles an hour. That's why 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:44.240 I take xanax sometimes anyway, mostly to sleep. Though. Let's see, 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.719 what's something you bought when you first made money that 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:53.960 you immediately regretted. Okay, I'll tell something I bought. It 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.679 wasn't on a first man money. That I still regret 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.560
