Emergency BobbyCast: Misery for Bobby overseas, Oasis reuniting, and Linkin Park's new singer?

00:00:05
Speaker 1: Everybody welcome to just me, and we're gonna put this as a Bobby cast. A lot of things that I want to talk about here, mostly because I've been able to do nothing for about eight days. I had COVID and I was kind of reset. The last week or so, we were going on vacation and we were going to Italy. We went to Italy last year and we missed our last vacation this year. So we're gonna go to Italy this year when we're taking my wife's parents with her, which is very exciting because I love my wife's parents. Anybody that I would say, yeah, we're gonna go with my in laws, they were like really on a trip. But actually I really enjoy being around them. Maybe it's because I didn't have parents, maybe a little bit of it. Mostly I just think they're awesome to be around. So we go to Italy, and by the way, I'm going to say some things here that I probably wouldn't say on the radio show. You know, there are all these levels now of passive listening and people who don't know us in things we would say to people who do know us. It's like saying something in a group of close friends because they get you and the understand your humor or your history, versus saying the same exact things with people that you don't know. Maybe they just don't get it at all and they feel a different way about you. So I'm gonna just say some stuff here that I probably wouldn't say on the radio show because a lot of the people listening on the actual radio show could be new listeners, could be very passive listening, could be people for the first time, and they just would go, that's weird, or that's unrelatable, or that's unlikable, all those things. So I'll just be completely honest and authentic here, not that I'm not be a little more selective on the actual radio show. Okay, so we were going to Italy. We went last year, but I was approached probably four or five months ago about buying a part of an Italian basketball team. And I love sports, and I guess the reason I wouldn't say this in the radio show is because people could hear this for the first time and go, this guy is talking about buying a basketball team from a foreign country, not knowing like my whole backstory of I had nothing growing up, and now it's like now that I have success and I have some money, like, I want to go do all the stuff I didn't get to do. And if that's being a part owner of an Italian basketball team, that sounds freaking awesome, like I'm doing kid stuff now, except that's not really a kid thing. But I just wouldn't say it like that on the radio show. But that's the truth of it is. We were going over there because there was a one it was awesome last year, and her parents had never been and there was a basketball team that is for sale and they wanted me to be part owner. But because they're also taking the venue and turning it like the arena, which is really cool, which over the top of the basketball players, they have like the soccer stadium, there's like a over the bench, not the home team, but over the visitor bench. There's like a cover because in Europe they just throw crap and it covers the players on the bench. So I went to go to the basketball team. But the crazy part is before we left, I wasn't feeling great. But a lot of times I just chalked that up with I'm tired, and vacation is awesome once you're on it. But leading up to vacation. I think, like with a lot of other people in their jobs, you gotta sometimes work two and a half times the amount they normally do just to cover for whenever you're not doing vacation. And for us, we did an extra full show on Monday when we were gone, a ton of sponsor stuff that we have to do for the week that we're gone. So it was a pretty jam packed week. And not only that, we had two twenty five whistle shows we had to do way ahead of time, which is very hard in sports. But because now DraftKings is the sponsor of the show, they wanted a college preview at NFL Preview, so we're having to fit in all these shows. So I'm exhausted, but I'm often tired, and I think most of that though, just from waking up really early in the morning. But okay, so I'm not feeling great. And we had a softball game. I'm playing a rec league softball team now, and I went out and I wasn't feeling great. But again I felt like I was tired. I didn't play well, But okay, life goes on. Get on. We fly to Italy and I think our trip was Nashville to Chicago to Zurich, Switzerland to Florence, Italy, which is a lot of flying. And we land and I'm exhausted, but again, I just been on a play. I ain't haven't slept, so I kind of just chalk it up to that. And again, COVID doesn't even pop into my head anymore, Like it's not even something where I'm like, I wonder to have COVID, but I just wasn't feeling great. But I had every reason and I feel great in my mind. And so we land and we probably landed like two or three pm. And we check it out room in Florence. But you really don't want to go to sleep because if you go to sleep, then you're way off. So then you just have to stay awake until night and try to go to sleep, and it's the quickest way to catch up with the jet lag. So we do that. I wake up the next morning and I don't feel great, but again I haven't felt great in like four or five days, and I have every excuse to think of this is why I don't feel great. We go and we look at the basketball team, we go to look at the arena, We sit with another one of the owners of the team. It was a great meeting. It was me and Caitlin and Kaitlyn's dad. Her mom stayed backal and probably woud have said back to its supportive and okay, cool, So go back and go to sleep. And I'm starting to get it a little like a like a type thing. But again I'm tired. I have every excuse thing. I'm tired. Wake up the next morning and we're gonna go and we're gonna look at like the statue of David, the statue with a that it's supposed to be the perfect man. Michelangelo sculpted him. And they had a weird thing about penises back when they made these sculptures, and it's I guess it's not the weird thing about penises, but they did not make the penises. Let me say this again, I'm sure they sculpted the penises as accurately as possible. And then in my mind, because again on all these sculptures, they look small, and I'm thinking, if I am in whatever society this is, if I am deemed so important that they're going to sculpt me, I should then have the power say make my penis larger. In the sculpture than it might actually be in its natural state. But then I think maybe they didn't say that because the size of the penis wasn't what it is today in which men associate and compare them with masculinity in manhood. Maybe it wasn't that at all. Maybe it was the opposite. Small. No, but the penises are very small in these statues, so it must not have been a thing, because I can't imagine one single person now getting a sculpture like this and going, man, that penis is way smaller than mine. But yeah, I just gouldn't leave it. Like if like Baker Mayfield gets a statue unveiled it, oh you, and he's fully clothed in pads and his head bands just a little loft. They're like, oh, the statue is a joke. By dang, they put a tiny pecker on a statue. And those guys are like, yeah, leave it, why not, who cares? No one will look anyway, But anyway, it's weener is everywhere. And I was just thinking, man, this is I wonder when this happened, Like what part of our culture did we start to go The bigger the ding dong, the more manly and again I say that half joking, but you know, guys obviously always make those jokes, and if they have a small one, they're embarrassed. And that's what I think about sometimes. But so we decided to go on the tour, and that Caitlin and I went last year. It's not a tour. We hired a tour guide to walk us around and show us to places and explain things mostly, and part of the explanation was when you go, see, David, what is it here? What are these buildings? Because we're in Florence. It's very old part of Italy, although all of Europe is way older than we are in America. So I was feeling real bad though, and I didn't want to back out of the walking tour because that what a what kind of wimp does that? One with a small penis? And so I'm on it for like an hour and a half and I'm feeling real bad. I go with my wife and I'm like, I can't, I can't do this any longer. I feel so bad, and so she's like, okay, going back to the room, and it's like a twenty minute walk back to the room, and so I'm like okay. So I go back to the room and I start to really have some sinus stuff and I have really bad allergies here at home. So I'm just say, man, I must have brought my allergies with me. Again. I made every excuse possible. I don't even think about COVID being a real thing right now. I know it's a real thing. I know it's a but I don't It's not in my thought process of what I could possibly have. So we're leaving from Florence. We're only there like two days before we were going to Rome. And we're leaving from Florence to go to Rome. And before we get in our ride because it's a couple hour drive up, I go to a pharmacy and I'm like, I'm I need some medicine. I'm gonna get a couple of COVID tests. But I'm scared to even get COVID tests in Europe because I think if I just buy one, they're gonna be like the nerdy man got a COVID test, maybe we should lock him up in European prison and make sure he is sae. I'm already that kind of thing, Like I feel like somebody is watching me as they say that, and so I get my COVID tests. It doesn't matter. I'm feeling terrible. And we go to Rome, and so we've been in Europe two days of a nine, nine or ten day total trip, and as soon as we get to the hotel room in Rome, I take a COVID test and boom double positive. Well, I guess two's a positive positive. If you're watching the video here, this is the test. I felt so bad. I had had COVID a couple of times when COVID was going around and workplaces were shutting down, and I felt three times as bad with whatever version of this was then than I did any other time that I had it. And I told my wife and I was like, you, you can't get this, And so she went and got a different room. And I said, a hotel for six seven days by myself. That was it. That's all I did. And you're I said, a hotelle of by myself for six seven days. Never left. I had like two full days of meals when we got there, and I posted all the pictures on Instagram. But I was so freaking sick that it was one of those sicknesses where you get so sick, that you're just upset at yourself whenever you were well, that you weren't appreciative because I was so sick. My head hurts so bad, my throat hurts so bad, my nose was running, and I was angry at myself for not enjoying the times I wasn't sick. It was that kind of illness, and so you should check on me. But I didn't want her to get it. I didn't want her parents to get it. Luckily they never got it. But my ninety percent of my European vacation was me with a really bad case of COVID. I called my doctor and I was like, hey, what's up. When can I come home? He was like, well, the rules now, and he gave me I don't remember what the rules are now, their American rules. It's like, if your symptoms go away and it's a couple of days, just like chilled in the next episode. I think that's exactly what he said, just chilled in the next episode, boom boom. But that's so that's what I did for like four or five days. I was I was really sick. Simples went away after a couple of days, and then we left it. We left early a day early or twelve hours early, because I was like, I don't have symptoms. I will put a mask on my face. My doctor says I can now leave. So we left it day early or maybe like thirteen hours early and got home. It was. It was a brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal few days. I did not think that COVID was even something that people got anymore, or maybe if they did, it was like so light. And I know some of my friends have had it and they were like, now, it was not near as bad as it was the first time. But for me, my European vacation sucked is seven days. I do want to address a couple other things. One because I posted If you look at my Instagram, I posted a couple of picture I'm in the same clothes and all my pictures. You want to know why, because it's the only clothes I had on when I was able to be outside and walk around, because for the rest of the time I was locked in a freaking hotel room. But if you go to my Instagram, mister Bobby Bones, You'll see I'm in the same clothes for any picture I posted from Italy when I posted a picture. There's always somebody who goes. You guys took photographers with you everywhere you go, or you guys have bodyguards with you, and they're not saying it in a way of like, oh, that's really cool, you're taking a photographer with you. That wouldn't even be cool. I that would just be weird too. And also the pictures weren't that great. They were good pictures, but it's not like photographer as pictures. I say this again just so everybody watching and listening to this can understand. In my personal life, I never ever travel with a photographer, nor have I ever ever. In my professional life, I shoot a lot of content, and so you hear Read on a lot of these shows. Read travels with me and shoots too much access, shoots the podcasts. When I'm on tour, he shoots pictures and video. But I've never Caitlin and I have never, for any trip we've ever been on, ever travel with a photographer or taken read because that would just be weird. So no, I don't travel with a bodyguard for personal reasons whenever we're doing anything personal, and I don't travel with a photographer but people think it's like they're really getting one on me. They're going, oh, it must be nice travel with a photographer. One my wife can take a phone and put on like a stump, balance that thing, like freaking mister Miyagi, huh the crane and karate Kid take a perfect picture. Nobody takes some for us, or we'll just ask somebody. I don't like asking people to take a picture, so weird dynamic because I don't like asking people to take a picture. But I definitely don't mind taking a picture for people if they're like, hey, we take a picture, Like I really do the best I possibly can to take a freaking good picture, Like I'm like, up down, take a nineteen to them. But I do not want to ask any want to take a picture. I feel like that's just a little too much.

00:15:23
Speaker 2: Hang tight, the Bobby cast will be right back. Wow, and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

00:15:31
Speaker 1: So this is an interesting situation that happened to me, or that at least was proposed to me. I got a message from the Athletic department at the University of Oklahoma and they said they are having different I believe they used artists or celebrities or something like that. I really can. I don't want to go to that whole thing, but yeah, to come out because what they're doing between the third and fourth quarter every year or every game, excuse me for the rest of the year, is they're having someone lead in a Toby Keith sing along. So that's what the request was. Would you mind coming out to an Ou football game between in the third and fourth quarter and leading Toby Keith sing along? I believe red Solo Cup. And I've only ever been an Arkansas fan, and I think if you know me, you know that diehard. And I think my initial answer just would have been I don't think that's for me, because I never want anyone to think that I'm carpetbagging and acting like a fan of something that I am not. Now, I'm not not a fan of Oklahoma. Now I have learned as a husband. My wife is a massive Oklahoma fan, her parents are massive Oklahoma fans. I like to see them happy. Now when they play Arkansas, I do not want to see them happy, but I like to see them happy. And so I've been not rooting against Oklahoma, and at times I've been betting on games for Oklahoma to make me root for Oklahoma. So I am not anti Oklahoma at all. Actually, I would say if five is exactly even, I'm probably like six. But still I thought man board that I want be like a trader if I did that, because I definitely wouldn't want to go do it for like promotion of me and to be on the field at ou But after I stopped being a selfish douchebag and stopped only thinking of myself, listen, I knew Toby and I liked Toby a lot, and not only was like Toby a guest on the RATEDEO Show, which I think we were the last show that he ever did before he passed away, which was crazy because nobody, nobody that I knew, was expecting him to for just to wake up and be like Tobey Key's passed away like that was a surprise for a lot of people, even like at John Day, who I knew who I was texting with, who was very sad because him and Toby were close, but he didn't know. So I checked my douchebag card and I thought I really liked Toby because Tobi was always super nice to meet, big, boisterous personality. I didn't always have to agree with them, but I don't agree with anybody all the time, even me. Sometimes I'm like, man, I was really stupid one I said that or did that or felt that way. But Toby like, let Eddie and I open for him. It shows big shows. We did festivals with Toby. We uh At the Florida State Oh You game, Toby was up in the boxes and Jake and I went over and like a so I put the ou thing, which, by the way, I'm not even an hater. I just never want to be a fraud in the Arkansas world because that is so important to me. And I said, yes, of course I will do it. And so I'm gonna go and lead the crowd. Is I don't know if I'm supposed to announce this, So not not really announcement. Mostly it was more like an internal struggle on should I go sing I know you even though I'm not seeing. I'm just leading the crowd. I saw the first one. It was great, it's super cool. So because of Toby, that is what I'm going to do. It's not this weekend coming up, that's the Arkansas Oklahoma State Weekend. It's the weekend after that, and Arkansas is playing like UAB University of Alabama Birmingham, and I'm gonna be in Fayetteville the two days leading up to that game at the coach cal basketball camp. So but that's what I'm doing then, And I spent a good five minutes going I can't do it. I'm too loyal to Arkansas. I think one of the good things about being an adult, one of the maturing parts is sometimes you realize that you're just a terribly selfish douchebag sometimes and it's not always about you. And I was asked to do it, and it's not just about whatever connection I feel like I have to the state of Arkansas's most heralded program. But I'll be very happy to do it. And I'm actually looking forward to doing that too. And I love ouse athletic director Joe c Like I love that dude. I And again, I'm just gonna say this, just what everyone understands what I'm coming from here. I don't I don't personally donate any money to the University of Oklahoma. They don't ask me for any money, right. I didn't go to school there. Also, I didn't go to school to Deniversity of Arkansas. But that was in Arkansas. It's all we had, and I would have if I didn't have to have a job at seventeen, eighteen years old, and I already had a job on radio, and I was not going to give it up. And I am officially an alumni now that I'm a doctor honor? What is it? A not honor? What's my I'm a fake doctor? What do I think? I'm sure it'll come back to me, but so. But I don't give Oklahoma any money. But I have a great relationship with their athletic director, who I'll does an email, he'll call and talk to me. I know all about his family. I should say this to a bit of my Oklahoma relationship in a positive way is because DJ Gasso, brother in law, now coaches just an assistant on the softball team, assistant coach. His mom is Patty Gasso, who has won seven national championships at Oklahoma. And I do go and route for Oklahoma to win softball games. Absolutely. I love Patty. She's a freaking stone cold killer, the greatest of all time. So that is my OEU allegiance there. I do root for Oklahoma softball, but I don't root for them more than I do Arkansas Softball even before DJ was there. That all that needs to be said. But that's where I met Josie too, by the way, which while I have a great relationship, I have a better relationship with the athletic director ohe you than I do at the University of Arkansas, and I give them a ton of money. Like the the ou athletic director called and was like, hey, we would love because they were they were doing a big deal about joining the SEC, which is a big deal, and they were like, hey, day one, would you want to come out? Can we pay you to come out and do as It'll be a free show for this dude that my schedule wouldn't allow it allow it. I just had something on my calendar I couldn't get out of. But they were gonna pay me a bunch of money or a decent amount of money to come over and like play a free concert whatever. And I was like, man, that is so nice to you, Joe to think about to even ask if I'd be able to do it. And then we tried to help them, you know, find some But I love that guy. Where a bit in the opposite at the University of Arkansas like editing, and I just go and do free concerts and they give all the money, and then I think, yeah, the athletic director Sharks showed up for a little bit. I just don't really have a good relationship with It's not a bad one. It's just I guess I thought I would be better than it is. Maybe I'm just there's a loser. Uh, But I'm gonna go sing. I think I'm gonna lead Red Solo Cup, which is cool. It's crazy too. You know. We were in Italy and I saw Morgan wall and hat on what I think was an Italian. I'm not sure it was an Italian. Could have been an American, but I think it was an Italian. That's pretty cool. Country is blown up, like you think about Yeah, we have three three new stadium macs in country music. I'm not even talking about Kenny, who's been a state I'm not up Timers up, Boom, gotta go check out this auction. I'm not talking about Kenny, who's been doing stadiums for a while. And there's a difference in stadiums in arena is arenas where basketball teams play, stadiums where football teams play. The difference in venues is like twenty thousand versus seventy thousand, so stadiums Massive Kenny can do stadiums. Garth did stadiums. But we have three new acts now that are doing stadiums in country music, Morgan Wallin, Zach Bryan, lou Combs, and it's crazy. It's the popularity of country music all well, especially in America right now, but all over the world. And it's also Morgan Wallen had them, and it just reminded me of how cool it is that Morgan is freaking transcended like he has, which something I don't really talk about with the Morgan stuff. You know, when all that blew up and he got in all the trouble, I was so right and I was the only person the next day that had the balls to come on and be like, this is how I feel about the situation. The next morning, and you had all the people the other you know, people that do their shows the social media be just saying things like just very generic things like we just can't have this, and I would agree with that, but I got on the air and I was like, Okay, look, you can't say it. We shouldn't cancel them, but he's got to check out for a little bit and probably needs to do some learning on why that can't be. So the whole thing, I got crushed. This is something I never talked about. I got crushed. I got Let me tell you why I got crushed because I was. I feel a bit sensible in that you don't have to wipe Morgan off the face of the earth, because any mistake that anybody makes, as long as you're not hurting a kid or an animal killing somebody like I believe, you should have the opportunity to bounce back. I do because a lot of times you just didn't know any better. The second part of it is I didn't cancel them, and I also didn't say everybody just forget it. It's the same as it was yesterday. So because I was in this weird middle ground, I wasn't getting attacked by both sides, which was it was a crazy time and I just remember being like, I'm not looking at anything for like months, and I was getting called the people. The woke folks were going since he wouldn't cancel Morgan, he's a racist and we'll call him the I don't know extremely conservative folks. Although don't want like to turn. That's not really the turn, but we'll just call him that for this. They were like, the fact that you were even saying he should have to take a break for a minute shows that you're just big old woos. And I'm like, wait, where is the nuance of you can screw up and go and take a minute and fix it, but you do need to take a minute and fix it, and then you come back and be like, oh, yeah, I got it and I messed up and I'm not gonna do it again, because man, that sucked and I learned a lot of things. That's what I said, That's what I said the next morning after that. It was brutal. It was crushing from both sides. But it's really cool to see Morgan do as well as he's doing for many reasons. One of those reasons being he just makes freaking good music. Two, I think he absolutely deserved It's not even a second chance, but I think everybody should have an opportunity, including myself. And I'm saying this mostly because I've screwed up so many times. I gotta find a million bucks that I just want to be able to prove that, oh yeah, that was a screw up. That's not going to happen again. And I've learned why that was a screw up. So anyway, all that because I saw the Morgan Wallin had and so obviously Morgan went away for a while, and I remember it was just an odd time because both both sides were just shoving sticks in me. It felt like in all my holes. In the end, it's exactly what I said happened is what happened. And I feel pretty good about that now. I didn't feel good then. And I remember once Scooba Steve messaged me and was like, hey, do you want to have Morgan on the show? And I was like yeah, sure, but and this is like six months my timeline may be a little off on the months after it happened. And I was like, yeah, sure, but I have to ask about the situation. I can't have him on and not ask and he was like cool, cool, cool, and so I was like all right, cool, Yeah, he's gonna come on, not sure when whatever, And somebody had sent me a message on Instagram and they were like, hey, he's Morgan wall I never come on the show. And I was like, yeah, he's coming up. He's coming on sometime soon. I didn't know the exact time because Scoopa said you want him? I said yes, he said cool, everyone's agreed. Whatever, And like the president of Morgan Wallen's label sent me a text message cursing me out for saying he was coming on the show, and I remember thinking, I really think he is, or at least I was told and I wasn't like teasing a specific day or I wasn't making it like a bit. But I remember the Seth the president of that label message of me. And so that's always been fine cool. I mean I don't know him, know him. He's always been he's never been a bad thing. But I remember him like cursing me out in a text of me thinking what adult man talked to another adult man like this? Like if he would have said that to my face. I'm not a puncher, so when I punched him, but I definitely would have been like are you okay? Like who curses? Who talks to it? Maybe i'd have given him a good shove. I don't know, but I like him, And now I think maybe i've seen him since Maybe I have, maybe haven't. I like the guy in person, He's been nice. I saw him with Jake's daughter's birthday. He was super nice. But I remember him cursing me out in a text message, and I was like, what a douchebag coming from another douchebag. But I would never talk to another human like that and curse him over something like that because I did nothing. There was nothing I don't need. I don't need a single guest on my show. This is my feeling. I don't need a guest on my show period. My show is not a show where I depend on anything other than me. That's why I've been able to change formats. That's why I've been able to pick my format. That's why I've been able to last through these different forms of right because and mostly it's because I feel like I'm the only thing I can depend on. So and by me, I mean me and my crew. Like personal stories, I don't need it. I don't need artists. Artists come and go. I like Morgan. I would have loved to have him on, had him one. It wasn't a stunt in any way. And I just remember him messaging me, cursing me out, me being like, what are wrong with this guy?

00:30:47
Speaker 2: The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to the Bobby Cast.

00:30:55
Speaker 1: And okay, listen, he could I've been having a bad day. Oh but what I did? It was my old number and I had an Austin number. I moved to Nashville for like and had my Austin number for ten years. Is a five one two Austin number. And I had a new number, but I was still using the old number a little bit. We used to on the air. I'd joker at Bobby two phones because there was a brief period of like three months where I kept two phones because I didn't want to miss anything on my old But I was transitioning to my new and he had messaged my old number and I was like, oh, this is Bobby's phone anymore. I'm a college student at University of Texas. Who is this? Why are you texting a teenage girl? And he was like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to text a teenager. I never told him it to me, but I do have the screenshot of that and I showed it to a few people. It's pretty funny, but like, what can I And the weird thing is I like him and he could have been having a bad day and I haven't thought about that story. But I'm all dogging into here, going from the top of the dome, as we said in nineteen ninety doing this podcast. But that's a weird one. And I got what kind of adult man cusses out another adult man in a text message? I saw the Olympic rings are gonna stay up on the Eiffel Tower according to like the mayor, that stupid, that's trashy saw someone compared to leaveing Christmas lights up all year. I agree with that as the terrible It is terrible. Saw the tower Eiffel Tower last year. It's pretty cool. I have a couple of other notes here. Oasis is getting back together. I'll do another music thing that's pretty freaking cool. Loved Oasis. My wife is now listening to a little bit of Oasis because it is in her algorithm on TikTok and I don't know if our algorithms just like touched each other, like since my phone was near hers, it picked it up because I got I got a lot of Oasis reunites algorithms quick background brothers an Oasis Liam and Noel Liam. Liam's the singer. Younger brother Noel is mostly the writer or the older brother. They freaking hated each other, fought forever, but they were like the New Age. They were the biggest group in the world for a long time, not just UK, not just but like what's the story Morning Glory or their second record I'm just going again from I could be wrong. Second record that like we had access to was like a such a massive part of culture if you were between ten and twenty thirty. I mean even now, give somebody that knows three chords a guitar. Two Today is gonna be the day that I ever thought back to you. By now you should have somehow realized what you got to do. They're gonna play that one now. My favorite, but probably because if you'd like a band, and they're not my favorite band of all time, I was a massive fan. But another big one is Champagne sup and Ova we Are They're gonna tay a man on this side. That's a good one. Do they never man Laes advising there some mysmo oh Champions Supernova was awesome, Uh, probably my favorite hit of theirs. And s Sally can't wait. She knows it's too late. She's walking umber and away, but don't look back in anger. But don't look back in anger her to say, at least not today, broom. It's pretty cool. Oasis back together. The bands i'd like to see get back together, Rascal Flats, mm hmm, that's all I got right now.

00:35:16
Speaker 2: R E. M.

00:35:21
Speaker 1: Hoody got back together like that shout out Hoodie's all I got right now. Lincoln Parks doing a thing, which super cool. And I saw they put a clock up on their TikTok And I was a pretty big Lincoln Park fan, not near as big as Oasis, and it was way after uh, but I was a moderate Lincoln Park fan. But I like the MTV record they did with jay Z. Awesome but crawling in my gain these words again up beer. You know Chester died. He was the singer and Mike Schnoda was the rapper. One day. I don't know why try uh, but yeah, they're gonna, they're they're gonna, they're doing something. And I think they are going to have a new singer just for the tour. And I was watching a TikTok of some of the singers that that are rumored to have been on the list, and I have them here, and I I think it's got to be the the woman I hope because she could go. Let me find it here. Man, I know I said it on my TikTok. That sucks and I think I ribboned it. Mhmm, here we go. So that's Bonnie Frasier, right, come on, that's so legit, that's so legit. I hope, I hope it's her. That's so legit. I would go watch that show. And I'm not a big somebody dies replace him? But who is right? Who is? Who is? Final?

00:37:38
Speaker 2: Thing?

00:37:38
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. Tears on my Instagram of artists that I like to have as guests on my show, and it's not what artists do I like the most because there were people I didn't put on there that I felt I couldn't even judge as a or as a guest. Sometimes I know too much about people that it makes it hard for me to interview them. Brett Elder is one of my best friends. I didn't put them on the list. It's hard for me to interview Brett. Also, Brett doesn't love do interviews, but I didn't put them on the list. It's like because I don't love Brett Dirk, same thing. John Party like I'm really close to them, but that it's John. I say he had kids, not as much, not as but yes, John, I could still feel like I called John and he would come over and help me do whatever, because but yes, but I said, give me. They said, who do you like? Let me do the questionnaire who's favorite country artists? Interview? And I said, I based this on the generosity of the artist to allow me to navigate the interview, but also gives really good, unrehearsed stories based on where the interview goes. And I teered them out tier. And this is the tier that didn't really count because it's you would have them on. I would have these people on the show anyway, even if they sucked. But they don't suck. They're awesome as interviews. Dolly, Reeba, Garth and Brooks and Dunne, all four of them a plus as interviews, and you see why they're great and they have lasted so long every time. Then I have my tier of I will never say no, I don't care even if what they're promoting is them farting into a walkie talkie and selling that because their interview is going to be so good. Jake Who it doesn't matter, something's gonna happen, Urban who I love and my The goal with him is to try to get him to go oh. I've never been asked that before. Keith is a musical genius but also a nerd with music, and it's hilarious to me. The last time he came in, I got him talking about guitar tone and I saw him just light up. I love it, love what Keith comes on. That's a challenge for me. Landy Wilson, Lanny and I have been a day warner before she had a record deal, which has been super cool. Blake obviously, Luke. I have a relationship with Luke if. We worked together for four years on American Idols, so that's fun. Jelly Roll before jelly popped. I think jelly Roll is super loyal to me and us because when he popped, we were already there with him, which is super cool. I got very fortunate there. Bands can be really hard. I did that tier bands can be hard, but there are three bands that I love to have on band. Sometimes it's a power dynamic of who do you talk to? Sometimes the other people get jealous. If you just talk to the lead singer, sometimes the lead singers, not even the main talker, like a Fallout Boy. But there are three bands that I love talking with them because like I get the dynamic, I know the people, and everyone's gonna give a story if they raise their hand. And that's Dan and Shay lady A and Brothers Osborne for different reasons. I'd put Christ Apleton, who hates being interviewed. Chris Apleton hates doing interviews. He's just a quiet, shy guy. I love Chris. Now. Part of that may be because again, Chris and I have a relationship that goes back even before he went on CMAS, before he blew up, and so my favorite thing is to get Chris laughing because when he laughs, he laughs hard. I love it. I just love that guy. The other one is the category of I don't really see him as much as i'd like to, but they're good when they come on to McGraw and Billy Currington are in that I'd put my favorite new artist. It's probably Nate Smith. I think the tier is new favorites, but I don't have enough reps in studio with him yet. But Nate Smith is so funny that he's been on like three times. I love having Nate Smith on, but I can't put him in the big category yet. I haven't had him on like minimum seven times or whatever it is. But he has a ton of great songs. But he's so funny. I'll even take a phoner, meaning I'll even talk to them on the phone, which we don't do a lot of phone interviews. But Miranda, and then my final tier is I thought he hated me at first back in the day, but now it's always money when he shows up and quite possibly low key the kindest artist in Nashville, and that's Kane Brown. I take a bb repella for that dude. He's such a good dude, not a full bullet. I take a full bullet for anybody. Kane Brown is such a good dude. And he's not the most outspoken, not the loudest guy you're gonna meet. I just thought that many hated me, but I loved him. I love him now. All right. That's it, big shout out everybody, thank you and we'll see you soon.
