#500 - LOCASH on Starting Their Own Label + How Bobby Changed Their Life + Bobby Delivers Some Disappointing News

00:00:06
Speaker 1: I'm asleep on the bus, and I can tell you what bunk I'm in, because when the struggles happen and you're out there on the road, nothing's going your way. You don't have a song on the radio, nobody barely knows your name, and you're trying to make ends meet. Chris wakes me up. He's just pressing you got to wake up. Bobby Bones just played our song on the radio.

00:00:28
Speaker 2: Welcome to episode five hundred, which is pretty wild. Five hundred episodes of the Bobby Cast, which for the most part has been a once a week show sitting down pretty much for an hour of time with an artist, which is also songwriters and producers. That's all artists to me. But five hundred episodes, and we thought about making it this massive deal and blowing it out and having a streamer or something to throw, but that wouldn't be how we do this show. We sit down and we just talk with folks and grind it out and learn about people. Luckily, five hundred was Friends of Mine, which is pretty cool. It's low cash and I believe was pressing on by himself back in the day, yeah, way back like in the thirty episode range, like zero thirty. Yeah, that's crazy. That's a long time movie. What house the second house, so not the condo that flooded, the one after that, the one that I had to move to because the condo flooded wherever they had to come in and walk upstairs. Yeah, dang, that's crazy. So this is episode five hundred. Thank you guys for your support. We really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing on your Instagram stories and tagging people in this episode. Again, it's cool because it is my friends from low Cash Instagram. At low Cash, they have a new song, well it's about to that'd be number one. It's their newest single called Hometown Home. We'll talk about that. They have a song called Isn't She Country, which is Isn't She Lovely? Isn't She count? Where they took that melody and they talked about, you know, some of the feedback and even backlash to that, which, of course, if you do anything, anybody's gonna be mad about everything. The world's crazy now. But low Cash, I Love This Live was their first massive hit. Thing went platinum. They have one big country song I know somebodies, they have multiple number ones. Just a little about them that we didn't talk about here because I've talked about it with them many times in other places. They met as DJ's like a wick of DJs. I'm not a DJ, the real DJ, I guess music DJs. Yeah, so they got together. They taught dance lessons at for us. It was called Electric Cowboy, but it was one of those type places here where they would do country music and then play like some hip hop stuff as well. So they were DJing and also teaching like line dance lessons, but they were both, you know, super musical, became a duo, had number ones. They used to be called Low Cash Boys in twenty fifteen, so the first couple of years that we knew them, they were the low Cash cowboys. But they're not called low cash. It doesn't even feel right to say cowboys anymore.

00:03:09
Speaker 3: It's just low cash.

00:03:10
Speaker 2: It sounds kind of cool, yeah, I guess. I guess it took forever to just say low cash and it not feel weird. Now. It feels weird that they were the low Cash cowboys because it's been so long that start their own record label. They're killing them. It's really cool. And so also just we don't mention this either, but you know they wrote hits for other artists. They wrote Keith Urban, You're gonna We're Gonna fly and Tim McGraw truck. Yeah, and all right, that's what's up here. They are anything I forgot, Mike, that's it. Big fans. They even know my teams, my sports teams. They brought me some pretty cool gifts sports related. And here they are low cash cowboys hot, just getting low cash.

00:03:50
Speaker 4: This is cozy in here too. I'm already getting cozy over here. It's a pickle vault.

00:03:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome. It's just we're ready for it to get warm again. It's been it got We built it and then we had like a month and a half and then it got cold.

00:04:05
Speaker 1: So those posts when you were building it were great too.

00:04:07
Speaker 2: You know, we weren't. We didn't actually build it. No, Michael, you rolling, Okay, No, don't tell me this. So the truth is, but it's an insight. It's a joke that a lot of people have been in on, including a very select group of listeners. So what happens was in my career, I've done this a few times where I will get on and I don't I don't. I don't hide it from everybody, But I got on a couple times and said, hey, Eddie and I are never building this pickleball court, Like we will destroy my property. Yeah, like I don't even know the art because I'll kill you. Like there was a time where I did maintenance and worked on lawnmowers, and then I worked at a marina and worked on boats. But now it will explode if I touch it. I'm so out of touch with anything to do with my hands anymore.

00:04:53
Speaker 1: I was so impressed. Thank you.

00:04:55
Speaker 2: Well, we didn't build it at all, So we told our listeners, as it's being built, we're gonna go take pictures with it, because we'd work out and be all sweaty, and then we'd walk over after the crew was done. The guys that built that would build it every day and then we would just get on the machine to take pictures. And we told the listeners that were in on the joke, you had to be waiting related in the morning. We said, when you see it, we need you to cover for us. Go and comment like crazy, it looks so good. It looks so good because the people that don't believe us will be like, this ain't true, but it's so covered up in comments. So it's funny that you say that because the pickleball court, they did a great job.

00:05:30
Speaker 1: It looks awesome, right, it's incredible, incredible. So I thought you did a great job.

00:05:33
Speaker 4: Your team is actually covering you up there is they said you did it.

00:05:36
Speaker 2: They know better, we.

00:05:38
Speaker 1: Want Literally we walked in and Chris is like, Bobby's got a pickleball court, and I was.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: Like, he built it with my own two hands.

00:05:44
Speaker 1: I said it right out there.

00:05:47
Speaker 2: I was bragging, and our listeners protected us, and my guys know, but one of I guess two of my friends that come and play a lot, I've forgotten. Not everybody knew the joke. I really thought the people that knew me knew. There was no chance I was building that thing. That thing would have been concrete, lopsided in a bit bubbles. I don't even know how you make bubble.

00:06:08
Speaker 3: Also, I was thinking when they told me.

00:06:10
Speaker 4: That was like, how did you have time to build that?

00:06:12
Speaker 2: Also a valid point. But like George Burgh, very close friend who comes to places all the time, was like all city tennis player, right, also a great athlete. He one day randomly he was like, I just can't believe this is holding up so well with you and Eddie, and I'm like, oh my god, that's what I would say. I was like, I can't believe you thought we built that. I see, but George has been playing on it. So Gator was like, you guys really did These are people that know me and know that there's no chance.

00:06:43
Speaker 3: Thank you.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: So some listeners myself, I mean, Eddie and I were like getting in the track. I mean we were getting in like the I don't even know if they're called that's how, No way we did that. So but uh, it's really cool.

00:06:56
Speaker 1: I mean I was thinking I was talking to a wife about how it must you must be level. How do you find a level that large?

00:07:04
Speaker 2: Like, great question.

00:07:05
Speaker 1: I can let you.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: Know after this, I'll take you back and show what we did. This is great. I think a couple of times too, we had posted pictures that we were like, yeah, we were doing this, but we were totally wrong and even how we were lying about it, and a couple people called us out on it, like that's not how it says. We took the pic. We took the post down and changed it real quick. So I'm so glad you're telling me this because most people don't know. We're about two months from my wife finding me in the backyard trying it.

00:07:29
Speaker 1: Because I'm like, Bobby did it, I.

00:07:30
Speaker 2: Could do this.

00:07:32
Speaker 4: You may have broke his heart because he looked at me.

00:07:34
Speaker 3: He's like, he built it.

00:07:35
Speaker 2: He built that, and you know the greatest, the greatest lies have a little bit of truth. We did strength. We did get the part of the net. There you go, right, okay, And we also admitted we didn't do the lights. We had light guys. We were like, we're not gonna lie. We got on. We were like, we're not gonna lie. We're building the court, but we don't know how to do electric We're not doing electricity lights. So we had people can put lights in. So then people were like, well, of course they're not lying if they're admitting that somebody put the lights in.

00:07:59
Speaker 1: It was just one of my favorite parts because I'm a tennis player.

00:08:02
Speaker 2: I didn't put the lights away. I just did the court.

00:08:04
Speaker 1: When there's no lights on tennis courts, you're done at six o'clock period. So that was one of my favorite features.

00:08:10
Speaker 2: Thank you what. I gotta admit all the rest it did. The lights I didn't do. We have a drone up date kind of I have to tell you of all the year.

00:08:20
Speaker 1: Okay, I couldn't understand why you didn't just shoot it with the shotgun.

00:08:25
Speaker 2: I did look it up. I did see if I could.

00:08:27
Speaker 1: Shoot, and what was your findings?

00:08:30
Speaker 2: Illegal? Really the only thing that you can Yeah, yeah, you can't shoot a drone.

00:08:33
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you told me this.

00:08:35
Speaker 2: I googled it because I was going to do that. The only thing I worried about was we have houses near us.

00:08:40
Speaker 1: I was going to text you and offer.

00:08:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I appreciate that, and you could have. I'd have showed you how to build a pick a ball court when you came over. The big drones too, like not huge lit little dribblers, big drones over the house. And so I was like, how do What can I even do about it? You can't shoot them federal law, you can't shoot in the air. Really, but you can't shoot because you don't know what the drone is doing. It could be, uh, the police looking for something, So you're shooting at something you don't know what it is, even though if it's over your stuff, you can't do it. Secondly, you have to you can call the cops. You can put up signs that say no drone zone, but I don't know a single drone is gonna like see the sign is your property, but it doesn't have to be right over to see the whole thing. It can be like on the edge and you don't own airspace. I learned this. And fourthly, you can launch a counter drone, which is what we did. We bought a drone and then we started flying at practicing to launch the counter drone. But then it got cold and wear whips, so we quit counter with your drone. We haven't done it yet now it got cold. That yes, So it's really we've been kind of like.

00:09:41
Speaker 3: What is that the EMP thing that you show?

00:09:43
Speaker 2: We're just gonna take video of it, see what it is and there what's up to maybe have a little talk up there or just bump it. Yeah, it's big our drones like when you buy it on Amazon that the drone they have is like a VW beetle like that big. Yeah. And I will give you a theory once we get off the air that I was told is.

00:10:04
Speaker 4: This like the same stuff that has been in New Jersey. There was the size of a car. Those were big. Yeah.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a big m if I said, I don't want to be the guy that pushes along. I don't want to be mister disinformation unless it has to pick a ball. Yeah, but then I've already let people know as a joke to begin with. So right, yeah, good time.

00:10:23
Speaker 1: I can't believe that. Okay, great to see you too. I'm heartbroken about pick a ball.

00:10:27
Speaker 2: But you shouldn't be. Just know you're not lesser because you can't do that. That's what you should take from it.

00:10:32
Speaker 1: That's right.

00:10:33
Speaker 4: It means you can do it.

00:10:34
Speaker 2: No, No, that means don't feel like you have to do it.

00:10:37
Speaker 1: I mean I was wondering how it wasn't going to crack and do all kinds. I mean I was researching it.

00:10:41
Speaker 2: I got a lot of notes I took while I was doing it. I can pass him over to you.

00:10:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he will try and build it in this back.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, it's not worth it.

00:10:49
Speaker 1: I'm not going to now.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want, do you guys play? Uh?

00:10:52
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:10:52
Speaker 1: All the time. We carry it on the road with this, but we have like this an outline of a court that tapes down so we can get off the bus and trying to bargain up.

00:11:00
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean that's what we would do until we build this thing. I almost joined, like down at Lifetime because they had an inside pickleball court, and I was like, I'll go do this because the weather was crappy, and then the weather got good, so I never joined, and then by the time the weather got bad again, I was like, I got a pickball court. Well, am I gonna go joined?

00:11:16
Speaker 4: You were.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: White tense.

00:11:19
Speaker 2: My wife is not gonna if I.

00:11:22
Speaker 4: Put ire out there.

00:11:23
Speaker 2: Yes, if I I've put up a freaking teller. It's a greenhouse, grow your own vegetables in there. She did design it as far as like the colors, because I would have made it like hot red. It'd been like Arkansas red. Yeah, you know, and it had flames. Yeah, I thought so too, Yeah sick, But no, it's it's definitely the colors that she chose go with the house.

00:11:46
Speaker 1: Okay, I get it. They're very they're classy, they're aesthetically Yeah.

00:11:51
Speaker 2: So anyway, God bless good to see you guys. Good to see you too. Man, I walked in. Were you up all night last night?

00:11:59
Speaker 4: Yeah? Me too.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: Horrible normal for me though not not that it's healthy. Or safe or good, But what's up? What's your story? I ate some spicy it didn't go and it kept you out.

00:12:09
Speaker 1: Chris has this stomach that's like, yeah.

00:12:11
Speaker 4: I have to eat like bland stuff spice. And I had a sushi roller and I saw spicy tuna. I was like, co, I can handle some spicy tuna. Two hours later just cramping up.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: You think it was something wrong or do you think it was just too spicy your threshold.

00:12:28
Speaker 4: I was coming off of a Bahamas trip where I drank a lot.

00:12:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, so also.

00:12:35
Speaker 1: I'm throwing them under the bus area are different.

00:12:37
Speaker 3: That's not spicy food.

00:12:39
Speaker 4: But I ate it last night and I was just like it was. I got up a five point thirty to fly in and it's like, well, I'm i as well to stay up.

00:12:45
Speaker 2: And stayed up all night. The stomach bug got me in New Orleans pretty bad. I have a I now have a week. I say weak, but I've had like a real bad digestion digestive system. So do I like my whole life with really knowing? Why have you been to I've been I've had it like every time.

00:13:04
Speaker 4: Whatever it is, Yeah, I got it.

00:13:05
Speaker 2: So whatever it is, that was the deal for me too, since I was like seventeen. Yeah, mine, since I was like since I started going to the doctor. But I didn't go to the doctor un till later. But yes, since young, and so I just kind of understood I want to eat food, not only that when I eat something, my stomach protrudes out automatically.

00:13:24
Speaker 3: I literally just had this conversation with my wife.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: It's it's unnatural, and I've been ashamed of it my whole life. And I also have had my spleen taken out when I was sick. I have surgery, so I had to remove my spleen because I ruptured it. So I have a scar that goes from the bottom of my sternom down to my belt line, and so half my belly button's gone. And what I learned in the past five years of all the scar tissue right above my belt line, and I've always been really embarrassed of it, and so part of it is that. And so but my digestion has just been awful, horrible. So I go to the doctor and I I got like colonoskies anddoscopies, all this stuff to just make sure that I don't have cancer of a lot of in my family and I get on chat GPT, which is AI, and I go, I was gonna tie some stuff in because I read there was a story about a kid who'd been to seventeen doctors. They couldn't figure out why I was in had this chronic pain, and he typed his symptoms into his parents did into chat GPT and I said, oh, it's probably this or this, and it was, and it was and the doctors did not. Seventeen doctors weren't able to identify it.

00:14:29
Speaker 1: I'm going home to type in so many things.

00:14:31
Speaker 2: And it doesn't mean believe it. Yes, So I type in, hey, I have a scar. It goes from here to here at my spleen taken out if I eat it automatically some of petrudes and it goes, oh, well if you have a scar, I put it in my voice. But it's basically, if I have a scar going down, it's my I probably have scar tissue in here that's pushing against my organs, that's not allowing me to digest food normally. Never thought that could be it. Yeah, and that's why it.

00:15:01
Speaker 1: Doesn't burn that out.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: If you can, but you have to have surgery. And I told My wife was like, well, yeah, you to make. That's a good point too. She was like, ge have a decision to make, and I swear to God. I said, well, I already know my decisions. She goes, what I well, I can't do it now. I got pick a ball for like five months. So maybe like next winter, I work on that digestion and get healthy. Then she's like, great, but you're getting older, but you're still healthy, you're in shape, You're doing a great job.

00:15:27
Speaker 3: And the good thing is it's not anything deadly serious.

00:15:30
Speaker 2: My biometrics got that my what do you call the what do you call like half? My metabolic age is twenty nine. Oh there you go, see twenty nine years old?

00:15:43
Speaker 3: What do you find that out?

00:15:46
Speaker 2: Three hours of your physical blood getting anything? Wearing this thing.

00:15:53
Speaker 1: I'm not letting crystal because metaball.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: Hot fries already put in like seventy hot fries alone, and that's this thing. Hot fries have driven already.

00:16:00
Speaker 4: I don't eat them as much because I can't find him anymore, like they like.

00:16:03
Speaker 2: Gas station hot rise.

00:16:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, oh he loves hot fries, one Coca cola day, hot hot things.

00:16:10
Speaker 3: Well, now I'm on that probiotic.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: You're talking to like your freaking twin. I want to do this to see if your hand moves.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: My stomach is jacked up.

00:16:21
Speaker 4: I can eat anything and it'll just go same.

00:16:24
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm not fat.

00:16:25
Speaker 4: I don't understand why I feel fat right now.

00:16:27
Speaker 2: I got so sick of New Orleans. I ate something called a mastafa. It's the mahama. It's a sandwich.

00:16:35
Speaker 1: Anything in the Roman gas station.

00:16:36
Speaker 4: Yep.

00:16:37
Speaker 3: I would get reflux just going.

00:16:38
Speaker 2: To New Orleans, like just flying over.

00:16:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like the taqitos from gas station.

00:16:44
Speaker 2: I forget the name of it, but it's some New Orleans type. Yeah, sandwich. And we had just finished NFL Honors, which is a TV show on Fox and super cool. But the Super Bowls there's nowhere you can't get anywhere eat, So we ask our driver, hey, can you take us somewhere as Eddie and I to we need food. We haven't had dinner because the war shows are at weird times, and I don't feel comfortable there because I don't know anybody. It's not like here or I know everybody, and I know kind of the food situation. And in a war show where I know when to eat. I did. It's all foreign. So I just show up early and don't eat, and he's like, yeah, it takes me to a gas station. Got so sick, I would never eat it again.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think I tuned in on the post where you had to take a bath in the hotel.

00:17:25
Speaker 2: My hot so there were no hotel rooms in New Orleans, so any hotel room was considered luxury, just to get a room, and so my stomach was starting so bad.

00:17:34
Speaker 4: It's the only thing I was going to sit in a hot bathos to a day.

00:17:38
Speaker 1: And but he showed the bathtub.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: No, it's not good leeches.

00:17:45
Speaker 2: It was it was like I don't even know what it was. It was like rust or poop or something. I don't know, it don't matter. I had to get in immediately. But the bath was the bath was so shallow that when I sat in it, the water would he may come up to the side of my thigh. It was so sh Yeah, I can't even like lay down it just the thought of it a bath.

00:18:00
Speaker 4: That's what I did, though. I went in the bathtub for about two hours last night and just laid there.

00:18:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why you have to.

00:18:05
Speaker 4: Eat at a certain time, Like I can't eat after seven.

00:18:08
Speaker 2: My schedule is odd because of the hours that I wake up, So I think I can't have that built in anyway.

00:18:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like if I do, I can't sleep.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: And that's what happened last night.

00:18:18
Speaker 4: No, last night, I was thought I was fine and then I just ate that in around nine o'clock.

00:18:23
Speaker 2: But if he eat, why did you eat later and eat spicy?

00:18:26
Speaker 3: Didn't eat? I didn't eat.

00:18:27
Speaker 4: I was working and I had nothing to do, and like like self induced and I do it.

00:18:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Okay, I feel you. That sucks. I'm sorry it does suck.

00:18:35
Speaker 4: I'm glad someone I hate that you're going through it, but I'm glad someone else understands that.

00:18:38
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you're going through it. So someone understands me right exactly now.

00:18:41
Speaker 3: Calling you not him and be like, oh, you know, I don't know what that's like. I eat spicy food and I'm like, oh cool.

00:18:46
Speaker 2: How often are you guys on the road now?

00:18:48
Speaker 4: A lot? Yeah?

00:18:49
Speaker 3: Right now we're finishing up the.

00:18:50
Speaker 2: Album, uh in one place, like an album in one place.

00:18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah here pretty much cutting most of the stuff here and then we're doing our normal tour, and you know, just being out on the road making money and trying to support the single that's out, you know, Hometown Home is out and so and we also launched a record label, and so we decided to go back to radio again with a radio tour of sorts, not really a real radio tour, but going out and doing some radio partnership stuff. And so we've been out doing that the last couple of months too.

00:19:25
Speaker 2: Last year it was crazy, we were going a lot because starting something new you kind of.

00:19:30
Speaker 4: Have to start it over.

00:19:32
Speaker 3: Yep, it's tough, man.

00:19:35
Speaker 2: So tell me about the label.

00:19:37
Speaker 4: It's called Galaxy, and what led to it?

00:19:40
Speaker 2: What did you not know that you know now?

00:19:43
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we were on BMG and they're great man. John Loba is a great friend of ours, the head of BMG, and we were talking about how, you know, you have to stream so many streams a week to kind of, i don't know, kind of justified going back to radio.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: For them to spend month of the way.

00:20:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of the new way, and we get it. And so we realized that, you know, being the guys that we are, we're sort of born at radio. We sort of thrive at radio, and we wanted to go back to radio sooner than that, and so we decided John LoVa gave us the opportunity to uh leave BMG and start our own label with BMG as our distribution, and so we're like, man, this could really be an opportunity. Beyond low cash, we could sign other artists eventually, and so in May of last year we started the negotiations and man, it took us a whole year to get to It was tough. Uh, it was one whole year of just getting out of the deal correctly through the contracts. It's starting a new deal.

00:20:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the hardest part about getting out of out of something?

00:20:56
Speaker 4: I think you know, you look at what the overhead was, what you what you oh recoups and then to make sure that you know, we could still do this and we're not going to be we could take our songs. We got to wait five years for the last album and then the first when I Love This Life came out that that album was on Reviver and we don't even know where a Reviver is, but we still had to wait five years for those songs and make sure that they're all.

00:21:21
Speaker 1: Five years after the song peaks.

00:21:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mean five years before you like, own the song or I can.

00:21:27
Speaker 3: Re record it.

00:21:27
Speaker 1: We were smart enough in our very first deal with Reviver that we put in the contract five years, five years after it peaks, that we could re record it and own that master, not the original master, but kind of like a tailor and Taylor Swift inspired, you know situation. So we wanted to do that, but there was three deals with the BMG thing, So we had to have one deal that got us off of BMG as an artist, another deal that signed Galaxy and BMG as distribution, and then a third deal that had low Cash signed to Galaxy c BMG, And so all three of those deals had to go down at once, and to negotiate those it took almost a year. It was crazy.

00:22:08
Speaker 2: The sound that I hear is just attorney fees. Yes, uh huh, yes exactly when you say three deals and I's summer Kurt.

00:22:14
Speaker 1: Now, it's tough, but we did it right, and we took your time, and we were writing the album and Hometown Home was getting set up at Daring all of that. So the minute we signed all three of those deals, then we launched Hometown Home and.

00:22:30
Speaker 4: I feel like we had all these chips and we put them right back in again. Yeah.

00:22:35
Speaker 2: So what's the best and the hardest part about the new version of you guys as not only artists but businessman.

00:22:45
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I'm having a little bit more fun because we can control.

00:22:48
Speaker 2: So some more freedom would be the wee can move fas freedom is really good, you know, and there's really not that much red tape anymore.

00:22:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, this town can be a slow town and you have to call and get a meeting and then you know, someone can't make it to the meeting and it gets canceled and postponed two weeks and you know this way, it's me and Chris on the phone and we just talk and we have Skip Bishop and Butchois from the Aristosny days. Uh, they've teamed up with us as managers and as label heads. And so the four of us we call ourselves like a little group text. It's the four horsemen, and we're having fun again.

00:23:21
Speaker 4: And we're dreamers and they're dreamers, but you know, they're kind of like him and Skip dream dream and then Butcher little dream.

00:23:27
Speaker 1: But we'll be like and it takes a little bit that ying and yang to work together, right, So it's.

00:23:32
Speaker 2: So, what's been the hardest part your own money?

00:23:34
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, budget, telling our wives, Hey, you know we're not going to take this much anymore.

00:23:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh cool. But in the long run, with the hope of with.

00:23:45
Speaker 4: The hope of you know, success, and I mean this it's working.

00:23:48
Speaker 1: We were sitting out in the truck today. I don't play very many artists for him because we haven't really been in a position to sign anybody yet. We wanted to get Hometown home as high as we could. And and now that we're weren't a position now we're like, okay, maybe we start listening to some demos and we start listening to some tapes and stuff, and so, uh, I got pitched somebody last night and I was so excited to have Chris in the truck and play it for him today. And so I played it for him. He got excited, and we're gonna call the kid after that.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll go meet with him.

00:24:17
Speaker 4: We've met with a couple guys just and not to be anything wrong. They could be absolutely huge, but if they don't have that that drive that we have, you know, then the hustle same.

00:24:28
Speaker 3: I don't want anything to do with it.

00:24:31
Speaker 2: So Hometown Home the first single you guys put out under the new Yeah, and I looked. I mean it's when I was top ten when I look, where is it? Do we know where it is right this day?

00:24:41
Speaker 1: Where at seven?

00:24:42
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:24:42
Speaker 1: Yeah? Where?

00:24:43
Speaker 4: Okay?

00:24:44
Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome, man, it feels good.

00:24:46
Speaker 4: It does feel good.

00:24:47
Speaker 1: What a blessing because you.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: Guys have had success and listen, what are this again? And here's another like minded thing. There's been success, but there's even with me, like I bombed out on so many things or things weren't the timed exactly right, and which is where the hustle comes from. So it's not like everything I've ever touched turned to goal. It's it's been very much the opposite of that at times. This timing. For you guys to have a top ten song at your first one, that's pretty.

00:25:12
Speaker 4: Cool, dudes.

00:25:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're enjoying it.

00:25:14
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna say lucky because it's not luck. That's pretty cool though.

00:25:18
Speaker 1: We hired a great team. I mean this team is I feel like Chris and I are quarterbacks and it's halftime and people are asking us questions about Galaxy and Hometown Home and low cash, and we just keep saying this team that we've hired, they are so good. And we got Carrie Wolf from up in Milwaukee, used to be with iHeart love him so much. He's the VP of our promotions. We got Cheryl Bros. She lives out in New Mexico and she just crushes. And we got Ray Vaughn. He's a gunslinger of a radio rep. And you know, we didn't go in regions. Instead of instead of regions, we went with the relationships because we're relationship guys. And so we said, all right, Cheryl, where who are your strongest relationships And she said, well, I know somebody in New Hampshire and I know somebody in Miami. And we're like, that's your territory.

00:26:13
Speaker 2: Go get I called them and handle have them give your song a chance. We're saying, oh, yeah, yeah, that's also. I was like, yeah, that's amazing.

00:26:22
Speaker 1: And in most labels you have regions and that works too, but you know, you have your West Coast and one person reps all of that, and that's fine too, but we wanted to base it off of relationships instead.

00:26:34
Speaker 2: So we're doing a couple of things at once. Here. We're doing the long form hour long and we're also using some of this on on the radio show as well. So I'm gonna ask you specifically about Hometown Home because you guys wrote this with a couple of people.

00:26:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zach Avin and Andy Albert. Awesome?

00:26:50
Speaker 2: Were you writing it for yourself?

00:26:52
Speaker 3: I believe? So, yeah, they came was it Andy?

00:26:54
Speaker 4: They came up with Andy had the idea and it came out and we were when he said talked about hometowns. We were like, oh, there's a lot of hometown song but they kind of turned it and uh, one of my favorite songs was that Jaco and song Anywhere with You. Yeah, it has that flavor. That's the kind of the concept of it. But you know it's like you're with your significant other. If she moves, you're gonna move with her. But hey, just a case we could make hometown home.

00:27:19
Speaker 2: You know.

00:27:19
Speaker 1: We wrote it during COVID and Andy had this idea hometown home. And during COVID it was around the time where everybody was taking RVs and just going around the country and sight sceneing and with their time off, and he's like, you know, I thought about the word Winnebago. It would be so cool to have the in the song, and so we're like, okay.

00:27:39
Speaker 3: Trying to find something that rhymes with Winnebeg and.

00:27:42
Speaker 1: So you know I was a song, right, We're trying to the whole time we're writing, trying to rhyme with Winnebago. Can we get it in here?

00:27:47
Speaker 2: Somehow?

00:27:48
Speaker 1: Never got it in never got it in the song was almost finished. At the end of the second verse. We're like, okay, we have to get winnebego in here, and so we did.

00:27:54
Speaker 4: It was cool.

00:27:55
Speaker 2: So did you run? Did you rhyme Winnebago? Did you Winnebago? Word in rhyme the word after winn We rhymed yeah.

00:28:01
Speaker 1: We rhymed it with yeah, I don't know.

00:28:05
Speaker 4: I don't in form Chris hit it?

00:28:08
Speaker 3: Is it in the of course?

00:28:10
Speaker 1: No, it's right before.

00:28:11
Speaker 3: Grandma's Every Sunday.

00:28:17
Speaker 4: Find you ain't wished on? Really just name.

00:28:25
Speaker 3: If we hit that road in a winner Bago?

00:28:29
Speaker 2: Uh you got.

00:28:32
Speaker 1: And we all cheered.

00:28:34
Speaker 4: We couldn't let go the ego though, because I kept saying I go every time.

00:28:39
Speaker 2: So what's the goal with the song? Do they think? Was the top five? Top three?

00:28:44
Speaker 1: Like?

00:28:44
Speaker 2: What do they because everybody already knows, right, or for the most part, they have a feeling where things are going to be.

00:28:48
Speaker 1: So we've been in all the meetings. Yeah, which and totally crazy too because we spent a lot of time on promo calls and spending time with radio.

00:28:58
Speaker 4: And other labels and other label for number one, right and shooting at the scene.

00:29:03
Speaker 1: It's a wild world out there. But so March twenty eighth, we are asking everybody to make Hometown Home the most played song. Okay, and four what's that?

00:29:14
Speaker 4: What's so?

00:29:15
Speaker 1: That will end on April sixth, and we are going to do the unthinkable and try to go after our first multi week number one song.

00:29:24
Speaker 2: We yn't g one week first before we do in the multi we do, yeah, but we get you also have to let's go for ten then if we're just.

00:29:32
Speaker 3: What I'll say, so much behind us.

00:29:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:29:34
Speaker 1: So at the end of every call, everybody would talk about our push week, and I'm like, guys, is it crazy to think that maybe we could have two weeks? And because the song is researching so well, it's resonating so well, and so I just kept saying it and kept saying it in the meetings, and finally somebody else said it, and they're like, maybe there is two weeks. Who knows.

00:29:54
Speaker 4: The only industry I mean, And I've talked to the other pop people, like especially Butcher and Skip, and they're it is the only industry where labels can call each other and say, Okay, well Lake's going for this week, or so and so is going for this week. We can open up this week for you make sure everybody gets what they want.

00:30:11
Speaker 2: It don't like the Eagles called. They were like, hey, chiefs, yeah, we're thinking about run spread in their first quarter, like defensively, you know what. It's crazy, it's odd, it's odd at times, it feels a bit predetermined, but you.

00:30:30
Speaker 1: Do have to get there first, you do.

00:30:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't get to swing unless correct, unless in the box. Yeah, unless you have we'll call it the credentials to be even fine in the fight.

00:30:41
Speaker 1: And still nothing's for sure.

00:30:42
Speaker 5: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor, and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

00:30:57
Speaker 2: I know the song, and I know it's not the song that you guys are like doing your your official push on, but the isn't she country? The Stevie Wonder melody, How did how how do you do that? You have to go and get that cleared. Ye, where did that come from?

00:31:13
Speaker 1: We're sitting in the back of the bus and Rob Pennington had that idea and.

00:31:18
Speaker 4: He's like, the last of the songs we've written like six already.

00:31:21
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know if you'd be into this idea or not, but I kind of had this idea and he's like is that she country? Like, well, that's kind of love, Steve, It's kind of cool, and so we kind of chased it for a few minutes. Then we made a work tape and then we turned it in and everybody was like, whoa, this is really different, this is crazy. Maybe you guys should cut this for the album. So then we found out we had to go to Stevie to get approval.

00:31:47
Speaker 3: For why basically his song?

00:31:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's his song, But.

00:31:52
Speaker 2: What about like you have to get permission but not just Adam as a songwriter, because that right, I mean, what's the difference.

00:32:00
Speaker 1: Because he can dictate how much of the song he wants, so he can't we can't just make him a songwriter. He comes back and says yes or no, and that you know, And here's how much I want.

00:32:11
Speaker 3: I'll tell you how much you wanted. I don't care.

00:32:15
Speaker 2: I thought it'd be higher. I'm be honest with you. I thought it would be high.

00:32:18
Speaker 3: Thought it was fine with it. I was like done, Yeah I could.

00:32:21
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:32:22
Speaker 1: And then we were gonna go on Good Morning America and they were they said, hey, would you like to do a second song because we're just gonna do Hometown Home and uh and we're like, yeah, we got this song we just finished called Isn't She Country? They were like, oh, you can't do that. Stevie has to approve live performances as well. We're like, we got to find Stevie twice, Like the first time was tough and then the second time was a little bit easier, but we found somebody that could.

00:32:47
Speaker 3: But and then it got ripped.

00:32:49
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, song has ever been ripped?

00:32:53
Speaker 2: Ripped? As hated it?

00:32:55
Speaker 4: Well? Oh just hated it?

00:32:57
Speaker 2: Well probably okay, yeah, yeah, but I can understand that we have way more views on that than any other song.

00:33:03
Speaker 1: That too.

00:33:04
Speaker 2: But so a platform that's elevated, like a literal platform that elevated has seen by more people. Therefore you have angrier people. So yeah, that Mike, can you hear it, like there, can we do something else because when he moves it in his hand, it's just there's just hold. I mean, I guess it's the mike standard. Yeah, let's have the mic stand, let's find another mic standard.

00:33:28
Speaker 3: Don't hold it, you can pick up so you can hold.

00:33:37
Speaker 4: Dude. It was some mean stuff.

00:33:39
Speaker 2: Oh I imagine because you're talking about a classic.

00:33:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's the one. I don't.

00:33:47
Speaker 4: I don't read anything anymore. I gave up a long time ago. But it's like, Chris, you just just just go take a look. And I'm like, man, I really don't care.

00:33:58
Speaker 1: You should sweet.

00:34:01
Speaker 4: That would have been about eighty five thousand tweets.

00:34:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have expected had the song been good, it would have been a really bad day for people that no one loved that song to comment on it. Had it been a bad performance, something that would have cared, right, I mean right, I mean really they would have been like this is nothing. Yeah, yeah, no, I think it should I And again we're not even I'm not even gonna put this part of answer doing the mics. But had you done it and you didn't get bombarded with negativity, I think I would have been surprised regardless, because that's an institutional song to some people. And also you're talking about two country guys not.

00:34:48
Speaker 4: Hitting everything right now, Yeah, because that's what all the negative is.

00:34:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just that so I can see.

00:34:55
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean, I mean, there was some funny stuff.

00:34:58
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean it's not awesome, doesn't mean it's not gonna do well, doesn't mean anything except I would have expected that those people.

00:35:05
Speaker 4: Are not our fans anyway, We're not you know, probably don't even listen.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: I would bet that too.

00:35:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, And all the matters to me is that Stevie approves it. He liked it.

00:35:16
Speaker 6: The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the Bobby Cast.

00:35:30
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, Bobby, this is this is an awesome setup. And I don't know if you remember, but I was on the Bobby Cast.

00:35:39
Speaker 2: It was a long time ago for four houses ago. Yeah yeah, yeah, and have room for me, that's right, we had, we had two mikes yeah yeah, and upstairs.

00:35:48
Speaker 1: So far, I mean, this is amazing. This is great.

00:35:51
Speaker 2: Uh mostly fraud through fraud and bank schemes. Well yeah, but yeah, we're here.

00:35:57
Speaker 1: It looks great.

00:35:58
Speaker 2: We're here. Okay, So I don't know. What do we do? What are we rooting for?

00:36:02
Speaker 4: Now?

00:36:03
Speaker 2: What song to hit?

00:36:04
Speaker 4: Song hit?

00:36:05
Speaker 1: And then we're pushing that that March twenty eighth, let's go.

00:36:09
Speaker 2: It was April. You just said it was April.

00:36:11
Speaker 1: March twenty eighth is when we pushed down. And then oh that second week?

00:36:15
Speaker 2: When was the April?

00:36:15
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:36:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So we'll see how it turns out. I mean, we're focused on one week, and if the second week happens and we.

00:36:22
Speaker 3: Get ten, great, great. But then we're fighting. Yeah, then we're fighting people.

00:36:27
Speaker 2: And you guys still living one here, one there?

00:36:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, live in Florida.

00:36:32
Speaker 2: How's that been for you?

00:36:33
Speaker 4: I'll be in Florida. I don't know if i'd live anywhere else.

00:36:37
Speaker 2: Why did you choose to move there?

00:36:39
Speaker 4: A lot of stuff I've told you off the mic, But yeah, I mean, I just my wife is from there, have three kids, and I wanted to there's no family here for for us, and I wanted a little separation from this industry because cincetre will tear you up. And I was not ready.

00:36:56
Speaker 3: I was just sawing myself just.

00:36:57
Speaker 4: Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, and I have bad anxiety already. So when I moved to Nashville, or when when I moved to Tampa.

00:37:04
Speaker 3: You know, her family's there.

00:37:05
Speaker 4: I moved my mom down there, and I just fell in love with that state.

00:37:10
Speaker 1: That he's also an ocean guy.

00:37:11
Speaker 3: Water the ocean.

00:37:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. The thing that would suck for the Eastern time zone for telling for like TV and events and stuff that that seems tough.

00:37:19
Speaker 4: It's tough, especially when you go a West coast. Oh, and then you're back and forth. But I'm telling you, man, it's just my community's great, my family's safe, and uh, you know it's it's awesome.

00:37:29
Speaker 3: I just opened the bat and gage down there too, right, Yeah.

00:37:32
Speaker 2: I like Tampa's like my favorite part. Yeah, because we spend a lot of time in different parts of the floor. I like Tampa a lot because it feels the most normal. Yeah, like the normal people.

00:37:40
Speaker 4: Yes, normal people just a little bit ten minutes north where I live about fifteen minutes north is very normal.

00:37:46
Speaker 1: It's already kind of going to see. It's also kind of great because when we both lived here, the industry found a way to use every single day, like they would find a meeting or some something that we needed to you need.

00:38:00
Speaker 3: To come downtown, you come downtown.

00:38:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now when he comes to town, it's more efficient, like we do everything in a day, or we do everything in a couple of days, and that's that's nice.

00:38:09
Speaker 4: And when we're home we can be husbands and yeah, dads, what.

00:38:12
Speaker 2: Was the conversation like with your wife and you're like, Okay, we want we're gonna start this thing. We're gonna have to invest more of us, more of our money, more of it's more time on the road.

00:38:21
Speaker 1: I think they were all about that.

00:38:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:38:23
Speaker 4: My wife still to this day is kind of you know, she she knows me, and she's just like, I know you're going through this trouble, but look where your songs at when it was like top twenty, and she's like, just keep doing it. You know. I hate being away from the kids and missing baseball for my son and my girls cheerleading, and you know it's cool because we you know, he has kids now too, so we both try to get home as fat We take the red eye when there's a red eye, we take the Red Eye, and that sucks, but we take it.

00:38:49
Speaker 1: And her zombies the next day for the stomach.

00:38:51
Speaker 4: By the way, for the stomach. Then we do it, and they're like, you know, she's she's been a positive behind me, like a rock, just pushing me to do it over and over again, you know, because she knows that we the chips are in and we could start to see Danny coming up and we can actually, well.

00:39:07
Speaker 1: Look, it works, it's us, and if it doesn't work, it's us. And so you know, it's a it. You know, you got all of it on your shoulders. And I think we have always wanted to have this label and always wanted to be in a position where we could call the shots.

00:39:21
Speaker 4: And I want, like you said, I want to sign some artists, two or three artists and be fair with them.

00:39:25
Speaker 2: Did you find the removing yourself from where the industry is also makes you not hate the industry as much.

00:39:34
Speaker 3: Here on my page?

00:39:35
Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's why I feel like I would like to leave here. Sometimes I didn't.

00:39:39
Speaker 4: I started not despising Nashville because I do love Nashville.

00:39:44
Speaker 2: The city's great, right, it's the tiny, little insulated mm hmm.

00:39:50
Speaker 3: It's like a web.

00:39:51
Speaker 2: And I do it to myself because I allow things to bother me. I allow insecurities, I allow right, yep. But that doesn't mean they're not real, right, And I wonder if removing yourself from it has kind of freed you a bit of that.

00:40:07
Speaker 4: It has, you know, I take medicine, antidepressants and stuff like that. I'm not scared to say that, but I don't know if I need it, but it does help. And now I just when I'm there, man and he.

00:40:18
Speaker 3: Sees a different guy.

00:40:19
Speaker 4: I'm a different guy though, I'm just like, yeah, it's all it's all good. It's all good.

00:40:24
Speaker 2: Now you've got a bating cage. What does that? He's like a business people can come to the batting cage.

00:40:27
Speaker 3: What's it called swag? Swag sports?

00:40:29
Speaker 2: And who runs it?

00:42:01
Speaker 1: Incredible, it's awesome.

00:42:02
Speaker 2: So I played a lot of ball growing up, but I hadn't played softball in a long time. So I joined the whole freaking league leading up to the game, and I knew I was probably get three at bats, but I wanted to be ready. Yeah, so I joined a whole league. So I played, you know, ten games, and I would go to the cages and they had these cages that would say you wanted twelve feet ten feet eight feet do you have?

00:42:22
Speaker 1: That?

00:42:23
Speaker 2: Stuff? Has gotten the technology what they allow.

00:42:25

00:42:26
Speaker 4: And now you fast pitched, slow pitch, crazy baseball, speeds, curves, sliders.

00:42:31
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

00:42:31
Speaker 2: I was blown away. I've been up to the cage in forever my head. I leave my hands all blistered, and like my wife knows, I dedicate myself in ways that it's not healthy, right, And she's like, why are you bloodying your hands up and playing in a whole league for three months when you're gonna go play for like an hour and a half. Dedication I'm like, because that's hour and a half.

00:42:52
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

00:42:53
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and so that's pretty cool. You got like another passion outside of your main Yeah, and.

00:43:00

00:43:07
Speaker 3: To do something else too. I was like, are you sure, you sure you want to do this?

00:43:10
Speaker 4: But I think she she enjoys it now because it's attached to the tier gym where my girls go, so she's always up there anyway, so she likes it.

00:43:18
Speaker 2: You guys still like music, Oh yeah, not your own, but you still like music, I mean do yeah.

00:44:13
Speaker 2: But I want to reggae, so Luke Bryant, But why would I want the song that I already like to sound worse?

00:44:17

00:46:10
Speaker 3: Oh you two?

00:46:12
Speaker 2: You two at sixteen?

00:46:14
Speaker 4: Good John oh Man.

00:46:16
Speaker 2: You guys haven't hit according to their list one, three, four or five, although five is kind of cheating, I'll give you five out loud. They considered the Jimmy Hendricks Experience a band. Oh wow, I would have not guessed that.

00:46:30
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say kiss, kiss, yes kiss.

00:46:33
Speaker 2: The most overt band of all time comes in. Oh they do twenty six.

00:46:39
Speaker 4: I'm in the twenties, guys. Most of my bands are Aerosmith.

00:46:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty one, mess Chris oh Man.

00:46:47
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna go Miley Crue because I love him. I love him too, but I don't know if they're top thirty.

00:46:55
Speaker 1: Come on, crewe nah.

00:46:56
Speaker 3: I know make it.

00:46:58
Speaker 4: Guns and Roses has to because they were the most selling.

00:47:00
Speaker 2: Twenty Yeah, number one. I think I'm gonna pall again. You're missing. I would to put the Beatles at one, guessing my person me neither, but I would have put the Beatles the one. There are two, so who's the only there. There are probably two bands that could be argued that would be as bigger, bigger than the Beatles. And I think one of you already said the Rolling Stones, right, So it's not the Rolling Stones. Who's the only other band in the history of the world that could be arguably the greatest rock band of all time? When I say it, you're gonna go, of course.

00:47:35
Speaker 3: And it's not a CD you like me in there.

00:47:38
Speaker 2: Many nights have had no sleep and so your brain is foggy as crap. I live for fog. It's difficult. That's why I'm not really shaming you know, I'm not saying bigger. I think the Beatles would be number one, but this band you could, people would argue, and it would at least be two or three if you haven't hit it yet mm hmm.

00:48:00
Speaker 4: And it's gotta be like something that's just right.

00:48:02
Speaker 2: It's a four person band already.

00:48:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the Eagles are more than that.

00:48:07
Speaker 2: The drummer is dead skinnered uh, the lead singer is still alive, the lead guitar players still alive. I think the basses is dead.

00:48:19
Speaker 1: The Skinnard on there.

00:48:20
Speaker 4: Skinner will be top thirty for sure. Probably not.

00:48:25
Speaker 3: No, wow, I mean Journey's on there.

00:48:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty four.

00:48:31
Speaker 1: Chris is good at this stuff.

00:48:32
Speaker 2: He's now on it.

00:48:33
Speaker 1: If this is church songs, I could the.

00:48:36
Speaker 2: Um you guys are literally you're gonna punch stuff in the head for four guys. Yeah.

00:48:40
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:48:40
Speaker 2: The drummer is dead, but his son then played in the band for a while.

00:48:45
Speaker 1: Oh it's easy. Top plays in the band.

00:48:52
Speaker 4: Oh van Halen, No, no, Van Haile's gotta be on.

00:48:55
Speaker 2: The rumor was they sold their soul to the devil and like in a castle.

00:49:04
Speaker 4: Brain farting this as I don't know this band.

00:49:06
Speaker 2: Mike, do you know who I'm thinking? You have it? Yeah, yeah, you have it. Uh. The lead singer did a country record with another with another artist poison No No did a good one. Wow.

00:49:25
Speaker 7: Oh you did a country record with the artist who's I would is the vocalist, but typically bluegrass ish.

00:49:36
Speaker 4: She is Alan Alison Krass Oh led Zeppelin, led Zeppelin, Sorry she was.

00:49:44
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him above I would not put him above Beatles.

00:49:46
Speaker 2: Okay, but none of us would. But that they're a top five band of all time, Yes for sure. So I'm gonna walk through some of these Leed Zeppelin at one, and I'm sure this is like an aggregate of many, many many. Yeah. LED's Uplin at one, Beatles of two, Queen at three, Okay, yeah, I can okay, Pink Floyd at four, Wow, Jimi Hendrix Experience at five, The Stones at six, Van Halem at seven, Eagles at eight, Metallica at nine.

00:50:12
Speaker 4: Oh, you gotta have them talking.

00:50:14
Speaker 2: I'm surprised there was no.

00:50:15
Speaker 3: I can't believe I didn't say that. Sorry, a CDC.

00:50:17
Speaker 2: At ten, Fleetwood Mac at eleven.

00:50:19
Speaker 3: There was never a Fleetwood Mac fan?

00:50:20
Speaker 2: Which favorite Fleetwood Mac song? Though?

00:50:23
Speaker 4: I don't really know them? No, you do?

00:50:25
Speaker 2: You just don't know the Yeah, I.

00:50:26
Speaker 4: Just don't never really paid attention to him.

00:50:29
Speaker 2: I know, you know so many Flee songs and you don't even know you know them.

00:50:32
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure I know them. You can go your wrong way. Okay, that's a good one.

00:50:36
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

00:50:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:50:37
Speaker 2: Landslide. I never liked Landslide. It don't matter. You don't mean to say anymore. Black Sabbath at twelve, Oh, okay, the no Motley Crue I'm gonna take this was kind of a novel.

00:50:49
Speaker 4: They were a glam band. They are fantastic, Yeah, fantastic.

00:50:53
Speaker 2: The Who, The Doors and the Clash thirteen fourteen, fifteen.

00:50:56
Speaker 3: Okay, Doors, I could see who Who.

00:50:59
Speaker 2: I can see clashes, a little stretch, the stretch that beat. The Beach Boys come on you two at sixteen.

00:51:06
Speaker 3: I thought they'd be higher.

00:51:07
Speaker 2: It was never an Iron Maiden guy. They're at seventeen.

00:51:10
Speaker 1: Iron Maiden and No Crew, Hey they were.

00:51:14
Speaker 2: Motley Crue did not make the list.

00:51:16
Speaker 1: I cannot believe.

00:51:16
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you like eight more and you know what, all been selected over Motley Crue.

00:51:20
Speaker 1: I think this is aggregated by one person. It's their favorite bands opinion.

00:51:26
Speaker 2: Rush. I think Rush is extremely underrated. I'm not mad. I'm not I'm not someone who will go and chase down Rush when I will look at their body of work and listen to them. Rush to me is like Sticks where it's like.

00:51:40
Speaker 4: Holy crap, like I think Russian Pink Floyd have that RT.

00:51:46
Speaker 2: Same with Sticks to me, except Sticks is like a band of studio musicians that were yeah, so freaking elite, but I missed them that they weren't my time and I never will like chase Sticks down. But if I hear like two songs. I'm like, go look at the library. I'm like, I'm kind of blown away. And how good they were. Rage at nineteen regigainst the Machine like that's that's rages me, Guns and Rods at twenty, Heart at twenty.

00:52:10
Speaker 4: One, Okay, come on, god miss me.

00:52:13
Speaker 2: Cream's at twenty two. Nope, I mean Clapton was in Cream.

00:52:20
Speaker 4: Does it matter if it was? Clapton said it makes me Nirvan.

00:52:23
Speaker 2: At twenty three, Journey at four, twenty four, Radiohead at twenty five Radio He is good. Kiss at twenty six. I think kiss is so overrated. I know when you guys a kids, I don't even the kisses that good. They didn't wear make up. They have a hit and a half.

00:52:36
Speaker 4: It was brilliant that they did though.

00:52:38
Speaker 2: Oasis at twenty seven.

00:52:39
Speaker 4: When I went there, God, they were so big, so big, like who Oasis?

00:52:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still wouldn't have went there.

00:52:51
Speaker 2: My wife is eleven years younger than I am, almost twelve, so she missed Oasis. I didn't. I was right in my wheelhouse. And Oasis was going kind of viral ish again because the brothers and said they were getting back together. They're going to tour night this year now I think it's this year. Yeah, and they so they were all over TikTok and then my wife was listening, You're like, you want to go to England. Watched the first show back. She kind of like became a fan because they re emerged. Tull at twenty eight what tool was a little aggressive for me, super aggressive. There's some schism. I can take some schism if I'm not going to walk out to something. I don't know. I don't wrestle or anything, but if I did, Yeah, twenty nine is easy top and he goes the top. And Aerosmith at thirty.

00:53:35
Speaker 4: Thirty got air especially been way higher than that.

00:53:38
Speaker 2: That thing about Aerosmith that was interesting to me was they never had a number one until freaking Armor getting crazy.

00:53:44
Speaker 3: Right, But look how long they've been around.

00:53:47
Speaker 2: Oh yeah for sure, the late sixties.

00:53:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:53:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:53:51
Speaker 2: And Steven Tyler. The first time I met him. I don't know if you guys ever met him. He was so nice. I met him two or three times, and I ran to him at Disney World once he randomly sort of.

00:54:01
Speaker 3: Was he at his place?

00:54:02
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give you a mid a mid flex because it just sounds weird running into Stephen Tyler. I was working for Disney. I was doing American Idol Dance with Stars. So they send you with a you get to break all the lines you have a person and then all those people they put you together if you're near each other. And I was, and so I get lumped in there with Stephen Tyler's and He's like, it's so nice. It was so nice.

00:54:27
Speaker 4: Do you get on his ride with it?

00:54:28
Speaker 2: No, we went to different rides, but we were kind of walking to that same area. That would have been surreal, though, but he you know, they went from what.

00:54:34
Speaker 1: He has his own ride there?

00:54:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, his own ride they did have?

00:54:39
Speaker 3: Or was that that was Disney?

00:54:40
Speaker 4: Was it used to be MGM, Hollywood Studios.

00:54:44
Speaker 1: Chris knows Disney, but I was Hollywood.

00:54:47
Speaker 4: Disney was Disney, Hollywood Studios, Disney Animal Kingdom.

00:54:51
Speaker 2: I have no idea. We didn't get on his ride. I didn't. I never wrote his ride.

00:54:55
Speaker 4: But it's pretty cool rock and roller.

00:54:57
Speaker 2: Coasters, it is.

00:54:58
Speaker 4: He can.

00:55:00
Speaker 2: He they started in like the late sixties, but he talked about how Freddy Mercury opened going open for them, and Freddy Mrkay right in the front of their tour bus. That's crazy, Like, that's how long that they've been an entity and their first real number one wasn't to arm again and they had massive albums and massive.

00:55:17
Speaker 3: What they rank him at thirty?

00:55:19
Speaker 2: But they well, this guy, this guy, these people, yeah, whomever these No bon Jovi? Oh shoot, you could have argued bon Jovi or over some of these Alan the hell's bon Jovi?

00:55:32
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna start an alternate list.

00:55:34
Speaker 3: This is crazy.

00:55:35
Speaker 1: We got to do some real runner und and.

00:55:37
Speaker 2: You can do that.

00:55:37
Speaker 4: And this is Forbes that did this.

00:55:39
Speaker 2: It's like a group of riders music writers at Forbes when they yes.

00:55:43
Speaker 1: Did they base this off of how much they made?

00:55:46
Speaker 2: They based because of They based this off of how irritated you'd be. They weren't my cru No, they know they I don't know. It can't it can't be because if you're looking at money, these bands are from ten, twenty thirty forty years apart. Then they adding inflation. I think they just probably wanted to write an article to get flex and if you want to get clicks, have an opinion, right, and then purposefully put something in there that's a bit outrageous in a list, even if you don't mean it, so then people can tell you how stupid you are, but you're only doing it for engagement and clicks. Yeah. Perfect, that's putting the class of fifteen to me and not Buddy Motley crue In. According to Preston, yeah yeah, what do you Jovi at this point? No, I never I was never a bun jo again, No, not really.

00:56:27
Speaker 3: They were huge though. I agree.

00:56:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.

00:56:30
Speaker 2: What do you guys do, like the rest of the day, and then how long are you in town?

00:56:34
Speaker 3: We got the opera tonight.

00:56:36
Speaker 2: You got to get some rest. Huh, well rest, what is that?

00:56:39
Speaker 4: My kids are flying in right now, so I'll pick them up. We're staying to the opera land, which would be great.

00:56:45
Speaker 1: We got the we got two hotel rooms with the suite in the middle, like the little parlor room in the middle, so all of our kids could play together.

00:56:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, like my little ones are his little one's best friends. Yeah, they are.

00:56:55
Speaker 3: Put them together in their party and.

00:56:57
Speaker 1: Then we can just go do what we gotta do and then come back and you know, order pizzas whatever.

00:57:02
Speaker 2: So you guys still like each other?

00:57:03
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, man, that's the that's the main thing that everybody asks us. They're like, man, how do you guys? You guys argue? We were we were doing some interview and they're like, it was the last argument. I'm like, I couldn't. I mean, we'll disagree with something, but there's never really a fight or an argument or I think we know each other by now, and we have the same goal, the same vision.

00:57:24
Speaker 3: We hustle together, we you know.

00:57:26
Speaker 4: And I also think that me moving down there also made me a better person, you know, not that I was a horrible person, but I was just you know how it is up period.

00:57:35
Speaker 1: But also we've been together a long time and so when he went to Florida, it kind of gave us a little space and makes you look forward to, you know, hanging out again.

Speaker 5: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

00:59:37
Speaker 6: And we're back on the Bobby Cast.

00:59:40
Speaker 2: Congratulations. Just like generally speaking, I guess I'll speak from the point of view of someone who respects that you guys are building something the risk that takes a lot of people don't do it because a lot of people get scared of the risk. And with the risk, there's sure there's reward, but oftentimes there's many, many, many setbacks before the reward. Yes, uh so, a lot of respect from me to you guys for just taking a shot at it, even before any success happens. But even to have like your first bullet like hit crazy, that's kind of crazy.

01:00:20
Speaker 3: It's pretty awesome.

01:00:22
Speaker 4: We're going to calls from other labels and they're like, what are you going to do with this label?

01:00:25
Speaker 2: And we're like, like, as hustlers, that's kind of crazy because I'm not nothing. Nothing is lucky about this and I'm not surprised it worked out, but just the odds of the first one.

01:00:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, I meant the.

01:00:39
Speaker 2: First one working on a major label doesn't happen a lot of times.

01:00:41
Speaker 1: I know, it's wild.

01:00:42
Speaker 3: It's it's pretty crazy.

01:00:44
Speaker 4: And the funny thing with the song when we wrote it, I mean, I just when you just feel something, man, I felt this song no matter what. And then while we were leaving, he really pushed for this song.

01:00:53
Speaker 2: We were leaving.

01:00:53
Speaker 4: BMG Lobas like played me something. I played them, We played him that song and he's like, where's the song?

01:00:59
Speaker 1: Ben was like, well, we turned it in two years ago, but I guess it never made it to you. And that's the trouble with sometimes with big major corporations. You know, you turn in music and not everybody's gonna hear him uddle because there's a lot of great songs. Uh, nothing against them. I got to take it back though, before we go, because when I think of the name Bobby Bones, I think of being in Augusta, Georgia on the bus. We're on the bus. You're right there with me, all right, So I'm asleep on the bus, and I can tell you what bunk I'm in because when the struggle, when the struggles happen and you're out there on the road, nothing's going your way. You don't have a song on the radio, nobody barely knows your name, and you're trying to, you know, make ends meet. Chris wakes me up. The curtains flies open on my bunk. My wife called me and he says, he's just pressing. You got to wake up. Bobby Bones just played our song on the radio and this is what to thousand, I mean eighty seven, fourteen, fourteen, twenty fourteen ish, and it didn't even register because this is I mean, this is the hottest show in America and maybe the world. And I'm like what And he was like, he just set our name and he wants us to call and I'm like, no way.

01:02:23
Speaker 3: That was the that moment the thing you Do movie, Yeah, that was that moment for us.

01:02:28
Speaker 1: It was like it was all behind the music right at the darkest moment, and all of a sudden, they cut to a commercial and they're like, but you know when you come back for the commercial, All of a sudden, Bobby is there, you know, and it's like, okay, So we go to the front lounge. I'm trying to shake shake out the cobwebs, you know, and I'm like, well, let's call Bobby. And so I don't have the phone number. So someone sends us the phone number and we call and you go live on the air and you're like, dude, this song. I love this life.

01:02:55
Speaker 4: I'm going to keep playing this chart the way to the top.

01:02:58
Speaker 2: Of the chart.

01:02:59
Speaker 1: It was crazy thing ever, and so we wouldn't be sitting in these chairs, we wouldn't have galaxy, we wouldn't have those things without you. So I always have to tell you thank you for that.

01:03:08
Speaker 2: No, no, that none of that back part's true because you would because your hustlers, your grinders. But yeah, no, that was cool. But if it wasn't good, I wouldn't have done it.

01:03:19
Speaker 1: Life changing for us and that and that and.

01:03:21
Speaker 2: That makes me. I like that, right, it makes me feel good. Mare you feel But again, just to put it back on you guys a little bit, It's not like I was out looking to give charity to somebody and you guys got fortunate enough that I drew your name out of a hat right, like I heard the song, and I think many times it just takes a light shined on something for other people to go, oh, holy crap, this is actually pretty good.

01:03:45
Speaker 1: And I've seen you do it for other folks too, and it's awesome.

01:03:47
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. And that song became a massive hit and it was not because of me. It was because it was a good song. I just happened to have a platform that was big and I played, but that was it. But that was it. I didn't write it and sing moments.

01:04:00
Speaker 4: Those moments are so big, and I always wanted to have that moment as like that thing you do because it was such a good movie, especially if you wanted to be a musician, And that was that moment. Man, that was that when they all run in together and.

01:04:11
Speaker 3: Like you listen to our song. My wife was screaming when she called me.

01:04:15
Speaker 2: I did call you LoCash and they call them the owne eaters. Though, yeah, I could have been here's locush. Yeah you guys, I love locush. Here's a man. Great to see you, guys, man rooting for you guys. You're gonna have our support whenever that number one week is thank you or if you're going ten weeks in a row, like, just.

01:04:35
Speaker 4: That's that, you know, we'll see what I'll take one week, Yeah.

01:04:39
Speaker 1: Just just let me know one week at a time.

01:04:40
Speaker 2: Good. I think was I sick last time they were coming in? Is that what happened? Dude? Well, I'll give you one final stomach story. I tore my stomach lining because that it's just bad, right, and so a lot of pressure and then it got infected. And that was the last time you guys supposed to be here.

01:05:00
Speaker 4: I can take.

01:05:02
Speaker 2: I had. They had to stick blue dye in me. Oh, they had to shoot me with the blue dye so they could find out where the rips wear in my stomach lining. And that's how they find it. They put the color dye in you to then do this. Wow, the imaging.

01:05:14
Speaker 4: What's that feel?

01:05:14
Speaker 3: Does it feel like sharp pains?

01:05:16
Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked, cause I forgot to tell the story to anybody. So the lady who's putting the dye in me goes, this is going to feel weird. I don't like needles, so I think that's going to be the feeling of it, like a needle, like a poke, And so she puts it in the blue dye. It feels like I'm peeing my pants. I go, oh my god, I think I'm paying my pants. She goes, no, no, no, that's the feeling. I said, No, I think I'm I think I'm peeing my pants because it's warm and it feels like you're urinating. And she goes, I promise you you're not, And I was. Then I started to want to people of pants to prove wrong. That's just like the person in me that wants to but I didn't. But that blue dye made me feel like I was just letting it go like that. That's crazy.

01:06:00
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:06:01
Speaker 2: So but that's why the last time you guys came we were gonna do this, I had torn my freaking stomach lining and I'm back. I'm like, yeah, a lot of the body does.

01:06:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you put like like an antibiotic or something like that.

01:06:16
Speaker 2: I took an antibiotic okay, yeah yeah, but I couldn't really get to it to like yeah, rub anything.

01:06:20
Speaker 1: I mean, how did you do?

01:06:22
Speaker 4: You know?

01:06:24
Speaker 2: I don't know where do you go?

01:06:25
Speaker 4: Tell me that?

01:06:26
Speaker 2: I mean, I went to Vanderbilt for the blue injection, but I have like a doctor that like my own doctor but I go to a different specialist for crab yeah like literally crad yeah like literally yeah. But they keep coming back with like, nothing's wrong, it's stress, you have ibs, it's stressed. But I think now we're learning it's the scar tissue. That's my new my new theory. But then I start to worry, like is it cancer? And then all these screens, Well I just did all these screenings like you're good, but I think it's probably all the above. Other than that, I see to move with Tampa. You know what I'm saying, But it sounds like you got mess up last night.

01:06:59
