Speaker 1: All right, welcome to episode eighty nine of the Bobby Cast, brought to you my Blue Apron tab. How good that is? In a second?

That's our most listen to podcasts on this thing too. It's like he's got so many downloads because we get into a fight in the middle of it. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, But uh, I like, oh Jake, So there you go. Good Company with Jaco and is available now. Some things talk about before I talk about Blue Apron Ronny, get back to Blue Apron a second. But I was reading this article about Judy Garland. I touched on it on the air this morning a bit. And Judy garl Land is Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz was um before we were born. But I think at least I was born in the eighties. Everybody in my lane had seen the Wizard of Oz. Now you were born what year? Okay, so you're born in the nineties. Is that a thing for? Not in these kids? Is he Wizard of Oz? Okay? True? So I was reading this story about Judy Garland and I pulled it up just I wouldn't mess it up. But by the way, she died in her forties, and really what we would know her for is just a Wizard of Oz. And she was a kid actor, and she did a whole bunch of movies that weren't as big as a Wizard of Oz as a kid. And they were reading the story and I saw the story on Reddit. I'm a big redditor, like I felt, Reddit is kind of the paper for me, Like I read a lot of news sites, but I have to check Reddit about three times a day because it moves. It only stays up twenty four hours and everything goes away. I was reading this story about Judy Garland because they're making a new Wizard of Oz, like a live version of it, I think for television or maybe for a movie, you know, I mean they're doing like have they done this? Yeah? They did one with James Franco the Wizard of Oz. Yeah, but that was like the all that was like Oz. That wasn't there wasn't like a real the Wizard of Oz exact because they'll do like sound of music, and it was exactly the sound of music with Carry Underwood. So anyway, I think they're doing that like a new version of the exact Wizard of Oz. And so because of that, they're talking about Judy Garland when she was a kid actor. She got The Wizard of Oz it sixteen years old, and she's been doing movies for a long time inside of I believe at the time MGM. And what stuck out to me in the article was that they had spies that watched her and made sure that she kept a steady diet from this article coffee, cigarettes and chicken soup, And for seventeen years, that's what she did, so she could keep her body looking a certain way, and people would watch and make sure they were hired by the studio to make sure that that's what she did, Like smoke up to eighty cigarettes a day because that curbs your appetite. So that's what she had coffee, smoked cigarettes, and a chicken soup. That was her. Those were her meals. And and the article gets really dark too, even darker than that's already dark, like you have a kid. And then they would talk about how Judy Garland would to wake up. They hit her with adrenaline. They shoot her with adrenaline, and it put her asleep. It was sleeping pills. And can you like years and years of this, It's horrible. And at times she would work for sixty hours at a time, sometimes doing multiple movies at once, like do a movie within hours or the next day, just go to another movie. And that's what happened. They would give her pills to go sleep and shoot with adrenaline and get her going. And you read this and you're like, oh my god. And it even gets into some of the harassment and molestation from everyone from executives to the munchkins of the filming of it, and how that while they were making the movie, the adults on the movie were so jealous and resentful of her, like the main cast of The Lion, the Scarecrow, the tin Man. They hated her, so they ignored her and the only person was nice to her of that whole crew because she was the kid she I mean, she was the main but she was the only kid. Really was the wick a wing to the West, which in the movie was her enemy, and I read that later. I believe it was the Lion ended up it could have been the tin Man. It feels ridiculous talking to them in this form, ended up feeling like a total dick and befriending her and like he was the only one in her funeral from the wizard. It was a story, and I'm gonna try to remember the postic that talked about it this morning. I never posted it. And the reason I bring it up again is because I went, I was talking to my therapist today and I go. I try to go once a week. Now I've gone like six weeks in a row, seven weeks in a row avenue therapists, and going to a therapist is like dating. And I come from a place where I didn't know what therapy was. Like. We're worried about trying to afford Hamburger helper. We weren't worried about how did you how do you feel today? Now? For me, especially in this job, like I have to manage and I've learned more about mental health and it is a thing. It's a real thing, like mental health, mental health, And then I don't want there to be a stigma attached to it. So I try to talk about it, and there's a fine line that I have to walk and talking about it and where I don't want to sound like I'm not regular. Well, first of all, I'm not regular in many ways, like I'm nuts. I don't get in a bad way. There's not even a bad way unless you're killing people are like. So it's a it's a weird thing for me to talk about, to go, yeah, I'm going to a therapist, because a lot of people will go, oh, therapy, and we'll look at fans pants over there, are you going to a therapy? Or who a therapist? Something abuse. I don't want there to be a stigma, and I don't want people to go look at all fancy because it's not for me. It's not a fancy pants thing. I wasn't I was told to go back to I wasn't going back to a therapist. I went for years. I loved it, but then just got lazy because it's it is a commitment psychologically, it's commitup with your time. It tooks me thirty minutes to get there. It's miserable. But then I get there today and I went and I was the story that moved me so much I could stop thinking about it. I thought about all night. I wasn't gonna talk about it on the show today, and I was like, I have talked about it, talk about on the show. And then I got into my therapist office and part of this article was she, I believe only saying Somewhere over the Rainbow twice publicly after the Wizard of Oz. She was saying it to her kids. I believe that she had like I lizaim and La I live her daughter Um, but she because it was brought back terrible memories for her because it's it's the song from Wizard of Oz, which by the way, they almost cut from the movie because they were like this is too sentimental, and like that's the song from Wizard of Oz. So I go to my therapist's office today and I was talking about this article and how she felt like the only place that she felt love was when she was on stage, and that's why she continued to perform because she had these issues where she couldn't open herself up to others because of all of the trauma that she had been through psychologically and even physically, and so that that's why she would perform, and that she would feel this love and then she'd go off stage. And that's what a lot of comedians will talk about, how it's like that they crave that love. And people that are funnier, people that have Hugue personalities not all the time, but a lot of times, are people that are very broken. In a similar way, I think we all have parts of us that are broken. And I've learned that i've gotten older that just because I grew up really poor doesn't make it any worse than someone who grew up super rich that had some other weird issues, like issues or issues. And I used to just be totally resentful of people with money. Now I'm not resentful. I'm just like, we don't understand the same things, Like I don't know what it's like to have any sort of safeting net. And I used to just be like, I just hate everybody who has money and is rich. I don't do that anymore, partially a little bit because I'm successful to the point where right right now I have a little bit of money, but also because I've also seen that it's not it's as different as it is, it's the same. And so my therapist office, I was like, hey, so I kind of feel after I read this article, and I've watched a lot of performers and read a lot of books from performers, like I'm kind of in that place where I said to break up, my dog's dying. There's all this stuff happening. That's not even the end of the world. People, I have lots more problems than me, but I paid for that time then in their danging it summer, I've been talking about me, right, And so we talked about that for a while, and I just wanted to bring up that article and I was gonna I'll tweet it out. It was over but it and it's like it also was I said on the air this morning, you just don't know what anybody is going through. Ever, if you don't know, and we don't know, like i'd say, you and I are close, so I know what happened. I know where you're really going through. When you go home and you're in your room for three hours, I know, like I don't. I try to be nice and I'm trying to be kind. I try to think. I have no idea even when people are real jerks to me, even artists that I don't get along with. And I don't have to get along with everybody, and they're artists that I have been and I don't get along with. But I'm like, hey, it's good for the show, and what do I care? I always go, man, I wonder what's going on? Like and I tried to. I try as hard as I can to always have that perspective, and I don't always, and nobody's perfect, but I tried to. And reading this story just reminded me like you would think she was a kid on top of the world. She was in the freaking Wizard of Oz, the biggest movie of all time, you know that, and Freddie got fingered, Tom Green spectacular there, but it was all. It was just and she died in her forties, and somewhere over the rainbow was watching a video and she was performing it and it was she was doing a show. It was that Judy Garland show and it was black and white. Gett a bunch of email. Sorry, um, she was performing the show and it's in black and whites on YouTube, and she's singing it as one of the one of the two times, and you can see her crying as she's singing it. And listen. The thing the actresses do is they act, but after reading the story, you're just like, either she's the greatest actress of all time or you're witnessing real pain right there. And there's a reason why she didn't sing that song because all I did remind her of this whole story that I did. You when I talked about you go find a story, did it shake you a bit? It really more than I thought. And I was like, oh, just look at a guy, just just a goods Oh my god. And I couldn't stop reading it. Yeah, so um, I would suggest not don't care to read it or not, But for me, that was that was the thing. I was like. A thing too was I watched The Punisher and it's a series on Netflix. I'm drinking tea, so I'm a set. That's so The Punishers series on Netflix, And uh, if you don't like superhero movies, maybe it's not for you. But he's not really a superhero because it doesn't fly. He really doesn't have any powers except you can get pushed in the faces and bounce back pretty quick, like the superhero thing about him is like people scrap out of him and like two hours later was like, all right, I'm ready to go. I'm gonna go kill some more people. No more bruises or anything. Do you ever do the thing with movies where it's movies they are completely ridiculous, right, and every part of it ridiculous, But if one little thing happens, I'm like, they hurt their elbow, but all of a sudden they're throwing in the next thing like that could never happen. He hurt his elbow, yet he's flying for building the building and it's like you disbelief is all, like you suspend all that until someone twists their ankle and they're running in the next scene. So Punisher I thought was really good. Um, I watched uh, Who's the Blind Guy? Daredevil? Watched Daredevil and enjoyed Daredevil, and the Punisher shows up in Daredevil season two. And I don't even if I don't read comic books as much as I love these comic books shows on Netflix, I don't read comic books, and I'm not a comic book hater. Like, first of all, I think they're totally nerdy, but I also think that I do totally nerdy things, so that's kind of a respect thing for me, Like you love comic books, You're such a nerd. But that's okay because I'm such a nerd too in other ways. So I watched The Punisher and I spent Thanksgiving bene watching it, and that was fantastic. And how it relates to the story this Judy Garland story is that I didn't expect to be moved by this Judy Garland story. I didn't know anything about it. I'm watching The Punisher and a lot of it intermittently talks about how people that serve during wartime go and they serve, and they come back and they can't really find their place back because they've lived a life doing a which is so abnormal to what you and I do. And they come back and then they're putt in the place where you and I are again, and they're like, well, we have this whole skill set, have developed, my mind has been doing trained to do this for years, and I don't feel like I fit in or again, there's PTSD. There are all these things, and then we're not there for them. And I'm watching this and I've I've probably talked to me. I don't know a number, but hundreds of vets because I do a lot of I and we as the show, do a lot of things for for veterans because I don't have the courage to that, like what they do, and police officers what they do, what they got paramedics do, like all these all those things like that, even what teachers do. And I'm not comparing all of them, but they have hearts and encourage that I don't have, Like I don't. I don't. I can't do that whatever that thing is. I don't have that goodness in me. I don't have the goodness in me to go serve my country and be a hero like that because I am a puss, like I just am. And because people do all those things, I get to do this, and so I respect that and I feel like it's my right to go, hey, let's help the distance. But this is not applied to anything for helping. My point is I've been able to talk and have relationships a lot of veterans and that show. That show put me in a new place with how hard it is. That fictional superhero show put me in a new spot with how hard it is for people to serve and come back, and again I was moved by it. It's a superhero show, but there are people because his character is someone who wouldn't serve it in war, things happen, so that's what makes him his talent special, like you shoot really well and he decides to do things with his talents. And it's a whole part of the show, but in part of it, there are other people that served over the war too, and you're just like, Oh, it took that to communicate it to drop down levels to me, That's what because that's how I had to happen to me, and they had to take it down levels to a superhero show for me to go, oh my god, Like I already kind of got it, but I didn't really get it, and I still don't get it because I haven't experienced it. But I got it more and it took them drop it. I needed it to come down to that level for me because I'll talk to old vets that have served in World War two, even some of Vietnam. These are different generations, Iraq, Afghanistan, a lot of Middle East now that are my age or seven eight years older and something something younger, and they're all, um, now I have stories and they're but they talk in a language of them and I don't understand that sometimes and I tried to. But when I watch Daredevil, I was like, oh my god, I'm I'm moved by this by how hard it is for someone to go and Sir had developed a skill set take it, serve, use it, mentally, go through all that and then come back and their skill set isn't needed in day to day life, which they've spent all these years just getting better at cultivating. And they come back also with things going on in my mind that I have no idea I'm seeing that I don't know what it's like to all the time be like I wonder if someone's gonna blow up around me. But Daredevil did it, and I was like, oh, there was an empathy that came from watching Daredevil that I'm because I've always had sympathy where I was like, like, I felt terrible that you had to go through that, and that's you doing something that I wouldn't have the courage to do. I would love to help, But there was an empathy that came from watching Daredevil where it was like, not so much where you go. I just feel bad, but it's like, oh, I kind of understand more. Don't fully understand, but I kind of understand more, and it makes me want to do more. And again, it took a Superhero show taking it down three notes to my level down to the down to me being done. Need to watch the Superhero show. I'm seven, but it did. If it hit me in that way, I don't know about you, but to me it was I just never looked at it like that until that. I think it was more than it was unexpected. Like I think after like the third episode, I just had back that they wait a minute, this is this is crazy, Like this is something that I've never thought about in this way before. And that's what it took. Basically writing a children's book for us people that haven't served and and writing it in a children's book and making it But by the way, jar, that was not a children's book. And what no no Punisher anything, and god nay those shows. It is a violent it's the most violent of all of them. It was good and there are times when I just turned my head. You know what I else have a problem with and this is out there with the Punisher. I don't like when shows show needles going into arms and legs. You can show the needle and you can show the person going oh roll. You don't have to show it going into the skin. So many shows do that. I don't need to see it. I don't think there's anything gained by it. Can I turn my head anyway? And if you take the needle and you go okay, and you put it out to the skin and then you show the reaction, I know the needles going in the skin. I have nothing gained by showing. Boy, they do that in all the shows now. They'll do that thing where they come up by me want to stick them in the neck with the needle and put them down, and so many and I'm like, oh canny, And then then it makes me uncomfortable for a while. I can hear the needles. It's the bones breaking. I don't know what. I don't know. Watch the NFL, like there was a player that broke it, like basically this this weekend, and um, you couldn't watch it, and every highlight show it. I would just change it or I would do that when you're seven, you cover years. I cover my ears and close my eyes because that was that that's I can't watch the Napoleon Coffin knee injury. I don't know if you've ever seen that from It's it's old now from the ry I believe you's went for the Raiders at the time, right back foot readers, and it it went the wrong way. It's like went the wrong why you know I need Ben's one way, it went the other way. There was Ohio statement, I can't either, So uh there's oh because Blue Apron is awesome. And I have pictures this time too for those that are watching on Facebook. I have pictures. I can remember which what's the stuff that I have, which I've had four of them lately. Um, I've had the butternut squashed pasta with kale and brown butter walnuts, which I would never be able to make myself unless it was for from Blue Apron. So what I'm gonna say is that you can go to blue Apron dot com slash Bobby Cast, and what they're doing right now is there's a thirty dollar value. It's basically a free dinner if you visit blue Apron dot com slash Bobby Cast one word Bobby Cast with Blue Apron. It's it comes right to your door, and you have to eat it right then because some of those things are on The thing was you go in the store, you go to these meal places. They have already package, they're already made the healthy meals, and you just put in the microwave. Blapirl is awesome because don't have to do that. If it's like a Tuesday, you can eat it on Thursday and Friday, and it's all prepackaged. There's a card that tells you how to make it, and all of a sudden you're making Like I said, I made the butternuts. Fuck. There was another one too, seared steaks and garlic butter with oven fries and roommate salad like I had this I don't have. I had like one fry. I have all the fries because I'm trying to stay away from that. But there's also vegetarian options. So Blue Apron is awesome, reflexible. They have differentipes every week. Blue Apron dot com slash Bobby cast If you want to, just try to bla apron dot com slash Bobby Cast. Um. So there's that. Um. That Judy Garland thing was crazy. The Netflix thing was crazy. I wanna talk about the Grammys in just a second. Uh. I do want to say that Christ able to come and by was pretty cool. There was a there was a pressure I felt that put on myself. And if you haven't heard the Chris Stapleton Bobby cast, I'd like free to go listen to it because Chris doesn't talk a lot, and I've been lucky to know Chris more than just the guy in the radio, and I think that's why he came. Honestly, I think that's why he came here too, was because he felt comfortable coming and sitting here for an hour and he just drove up in his cheat, came by himself, hum talked, laughed to all kinds of stuff. There was a pressure on me. It was like, man, people, I don't know the stable has ever done an hour straight, and he may have somewhere else. I don't know, but I was like, man, if I don't do an adequate job, people are going to crush me. Because how often does Kris Ableton talk? No, I'm hardly ever unless he's promoting an album, and then it's like he's gonna come on the show. You'renna listening to this. I'm recording this on What to Day Wednesday, He's gonna come on my radio show. You can hear this two weeks from now or a month from now. He's gonna I don't know what. I don't even anymore. I'm so long on my days. I hate my calendar. Right now, my phone goes off. Let me get to my point real quick. Stapleton is gonna come by and promote the album a bit on the radio show because it's a different audience. This thing is over time and it's millions a month, but people don't listen to it the next day always. But it's gonna come up and we'll talk for eight minutes, and then it'll be better than surface because I'm a better interviewer in the eight minute spot that I think other people are. But that hour, I mean, it's pretty it's pretty cool. He left, and I wasn't ashamed of myself. I won't go back and listen to it. And now there are things I wish I would hit on, like some of his early songwriting, but I wasn't ashamed of myself, and a lot of times I'm shaming myself. I'm like, oh suck. So I encourage you to go back and listen to that Bobby cast. Um, I do want talk about the Grammy because I came out to day and which is cool. I mean lots all like music. Um, I went on a whole ring. I mean I just got lightly wrisk slapped today, lightly yeah, because I even said on the air, well, I'm gonna get in trouble for these comments, and kind of what it's It's almost like when in c double a T football team and they know they're gonna get in trouble, so they go ahead and they give themselves, you know, a scholarship production like scholarships by me doing that, That's kind of what happened. And so I got in a little trouble today because I was talking about how our format, the country music format is it's going to to hurt itself so badly because of the radio culture that exists. And as much as I on my phone and I stream and radio isn't what it was in it's still by far the most massive medium there is for music. It's not gonna be the same anten years. It's absolutely not going to be. It's gonna be lesser. But radio, to me, isn't just the thing that comes to the car this is radio right now that I'm doing this, this is radio. My show digitally is radio when people stream it or podcast, that's radio to me. Radio is not just what I do. But I'm talking about radio transmitter to car. In five years you're looking at probably twelve to fift gone to the other part of radio, still radio, but not as much car to transmitter, but more of Hey, you have a four G or five five G in my car, I can listen to whatever I want. Or there's satellite, or there's Spotify if you want to pick songs or That's why I'm glad I'm in the content business, because if you're just a DJ and you're introducing songs, mean goodbye, punch ticket, You're out. Nobody cares like bye bye because nobody wants here. People are just picking their own radio stage, making their radio stations. And like, my company has a hard all access which is that, and they're developing that and it's still becoming this thing of Spotify album music. I have all these things because because I'm such a music nerd and I don't want to miss anything. Same thing, like I have to get a Hulu account. I heard there's a show called too funny, too too funny to fail, and I haven't seen it, but one of my friends takes me to it was like, this is right up your alley. It's like the story of the Dana Carvey Show. Have you seen it? No, I've heard about it, and so I'm like, oh no, I gotta get account. You get it, and then eventually I'm gonna cancel my k I can see it now, I'm not gonna okable. So the point is that radio is still by far the biggest, and I love it that it is, and I love it. Then in five years it's still going to be the biggest, slightly less, but radio is where it goes less. It's it's going to be more digital, like those who find their way digitally are going to punch their own tickets. Um. So that's why I get so mad at country radio is that, you know, it's the system, in my opinion, of just a bunch of record levels trading out number one. You know, and people think radio that stations like pick singles of otn't pick singles for hard It's not. That's how it works at any pop HIV hop country we don't pick the singles. The label picked the singles, and then radio goes, huh do I like this single? Let me play a little bit, we'll see how well it does. How it tests. They tested into a lot of testing, like focus groups. That's how a lot of songs move up. They get tested. People like, why is this song moving up? It's been tested, like they've let ten thousand people hear it, and it's got fantastic scores. And so most of the time they don't just go, let's just make this song big. Let's let's let's you make this song a top twenties song. Um, and it kind of circles around and I get to that in a second. So somebody people be like, you know what, radio sucks, Well, that's the benefit of you having I Heart Radio or Spotify or Apple Music. You can listen to whatever you want. Like, get off my nuts because you can listen to whatever you want. I got no problem with you listen to your favorite music. It's everywhere music. YouTube. That's how I found so many artists. That's that's how I've broken so many artists. It's freaking YouTube. He's like, let me just let me just starch around and now I click that and it'll be like you may also like click that. You may also like like Tucker bet third. As an example, if someone I found on YouTube or like oh well it's cool, okay, cup, I'll played it, they weren't even ready for radio with that and rock on I went to number two? Did you got number one? But it was the number two song. It's found on YouTube. But you know, but there's like the cams that um marins, the stuff people like that that I just found online and was like, oh, I'll play this. And so with radio it's still the by far, the only thing that makes an artist. It sells tickets, like Spotify is more peer to peer. Does anything on to me? And Spotify, Apple Music, I heard all likes this um title. All those are the same. We'll call them streaming music. They're mostly peer to peer, meaning you got a friend, they'll recommend it to you. But it's not really gonna even on a playlist. It's not really going to create anything I have. There are people I know, buddies in mine that have twenty million listons on a playlist and they can't sell out a bar. So when people are like, oh guess what, I got ten million players on Spotify, I'm like okay, Yankee yank. You know, it doesn't mean anything. It's just somebody putting out a playlist and someone listening to. And I don't think those numbers are real anyway. I don't even know if the numbers are really listening to my show. You know, they'll be like, you have million listeners. I'm like, did you talk to the mall? Because I don't think that means people like me? So again, data is just data, and we use what we use, and maybe it's more, maybe more people listen to than I thing. They always go like five million, you have five million listeners, and I'm well, I was like, man, that's a lot. Now I can see the digital numbers and I know that's in the millions. So that's what makes me believe maybe it is five million, because I know right now, so radio is bigger than digital. So and what do I know. I don't know anything. I just say stuff. Sometimes sometimes there's just a hold of film, I just say words to fill it. I was like, well, look at eighteen seconds of Phil let me just say some words here. And so with radio, in my opinion, labels calling they trade out number one and it's like, hey, you know, well, That's why a song will go this is to me, ear takes the crap out of me. A song will be number one, and then next week they'll just yank it and take away. You'll get three thousand spins less than the week before. And I'm like, wait a minute. Logically, if a song is number one, you don't wake up the next day and go, well, if nobody likes this song anymore, That's not how it works. When you're a pro golfer and you've worked your way to number one, you don't have one bad tournament and follow number seventy three. That's not how it works. You don't go nine and three in the NFL and lose a game and it's like, oh, they got a playoff contention there. Now they now suck because they lost to the Dolphins. And how life works? And so REP radio does that cut your radio? Does that? Pop radio as stupid as it is, and I'd work over. I worked at pop radio wherever, and I hated some of those songs. That's like, I can't stay some of the songs. Now. There will never be a format I'm in where I love all the songs. I would say I actually love like one out of ten songs, I like about four out of ten and the other six I'll be like, yeah, I don't care, it's not that good, but I think that's normal human that's just how we are. We're and radio still the biggest thing for exposing new music and listen, I'm a guy that's totally on the I was having a conversation with some one of my boss is like, hey, yo, yoyo, we gotta be building our bomb shelter here because you realize And now I'm the guy that's super progressive digitally, like everything's digital. I don't do a radio show for people listen. It's almost I don't even care about ratings anymore. And it's the best year ratings we've ever had in the history of our show, and we're the biggest show ever and Lottie Dotty freaking Dah who cares. But I'm like, ready, they don't even gonna matter. It's all gonna be downloads and how many people are actually consuming it? Like, did you can prove I say that we have extremely happer ratings? This was a weird thing to say, but it's it's easier to say that when you have good ratings, because if I were saying that had bad ratings, they'd be like, you're just saying that gives you have bad ratings. So I say it now, so want to have bad ratings because it's in radies go up and down, down, and it's in edible. I get bad ratings and'll be like, it doesn't matter, and so it always matters, but um, it's going to become a prove it to me data landscape. And so what happens is radio labels like, hey, okay, you can have number one this week and we're gonna do our syndication and get all the spins, and did you take number one this next week? But no songs live, They have no no life, and so there's no passion behind them because they're here and gone and then ye goodbye, and then songs get screwed. If I'm correct, and I am a lot of times, I believe Sam Hunt's Body Like a Back Road on the radio chart was only number one for two weeks and maybe three, But I believe only two weeks. And that's a travesty because it's the biggest song of but because that's not how radio works, and you want to trade out on I'm labeled and trade it out. Okay, I gotta I will trade do you Bobby Benniga Tops Night seven card and you give me a kid Griffree Jr. Rated Rookie don Rists. That's basically what happens. And so when the Grammys come out today and there are no major categories of the country artists, I'm like, it's because we've got the passion level go because we're just like service number one, surface number one, surface number one. They have been number one songs in the past or four week I'm like, that's the number one song. That's just it's just a label trained out like Lanco should have been at least in the fight for multi week Thomas Right's unforgettable in the fight for multi any I think I'm forgetable may have been a may have been a two week number one. That's song that should just up there for four weeks like you hear Chesney came in and I'm trying to touch it and he was like, you know what, man, I'm back when I forget which maybe it was, um, it's five o'clock somewhere Alan Jackson. Chesney couldn't get past I think you couldn't get to number one. Because Alan because for eight we because he was at number two, and that's how it should be. We don't all get promoted to boss for a week and you go back down. That how this works. I'm done talking about that part of it because I will sit here for an hour and just be disgusted with how the record labels to do and record labels and radio and listen I mean, and people like, go, don't you. I don't pick all the music. I pick all I don't have to. If I can't have time pick music, I'll pick things like single songs and be like this is the jam and what I can do. And everybody does it differently, because I think everybody has their own place. Like what Spotify I canna do is put this out there and you can it saturated, people can check it out. It's that it's there for everybody. Everybody can take a look at it and and you can share it. What Satellite can do is they can take something place as much as they want a hundred times. And all these are positive things and not even I think there are places. This is where basic places. What Satellite does I like is that they can take a song, and they can take a song h a Maggie Roads for example. It doesn't have a label, fantastic singer, um, it doesn't have a record deal, but they can take one of her songs and make here what they call a highway fine. They played all they want. They don't have ratings to live up to. They literally have no idea what people listening to their station, but they don't care. And that's cool. That's because that's what they're they're doing. Like they can play it fifty times and they can see where it goes. And usually satellites power is about they get a song up to about forty like on the on a download chart or any kind of digital chart. Where I come in is I can't play a song all the time, but I can play it and go, cherk this out, and I can make it pop and react and it's a real react, like a gauge. Like do people like it? I can tell you because if you come in and I play it three times and it doesn't go top five, then let's just see where it sits. I got christ Able to not Chris step and a Christiansen drunk girl. They came in, No, you didn't come in. I just played that was a song. Is fantastic like two months ago, shoo shot up. I mean sending bought me a boat. That's how I got a record deal. It was buy me a Boat went to number one on iTunes in a day. But um, and I don't say that like a little bit, dude. But mostly it's like the listen listeners have to love it. It It doesn't matter if the listeners don't like it. Nothing matters attending on the show, Like I can sit here and say whatever I want about me but without people going, oh, like I'm entertained by Bobby either he's funny, compelling to being a real dick right now all that has to happen or nobody cares like they have to do that. And I understand that I'm only here because of the listeners. Off she listen to me right now, I listen to the show like I that's part of the game. I get like, I don't get to do this without them, So I try to serve them, and I try to serve you. That's listening with honesty, even if it's uncomfortable at times, because I feel like you'll at least respect that. So that being said on the air today, I know that segment hurt ratings. I know some people were like, okay, Bobby's graph about the format again change. I know that it's gonna hurt short term ratings, but I think for me, I'm okay with that for long term change. And I don't think that one segment long term change. But I'm the only guy with the national voice that's screaming about how this whole system sucks AND's gonna kill the format. And it's so weird because of the super progressives. I'm the guy that like loves eighties and nineties country and it's like, oh, and is it sometimes progressive enough? But to the people that are super traditional, I'm so progressive and it's like, oh, well this guy he get in a bath with Sam Hunt. Yeah. But much like being in a format, and I've been in the moment, I've never fit in anywhere. It's so weird to never fit in. I don't fit in, and I ended up picking the country format because that's where I fit in the mode. Do you understand our most second most popular segment behind tell Me Something Good, our second most popular segment, It's a segment on country radio where I play hip hop songs, which is the dance party because I would sit and I would scream at people. Scream uh not literally over and over again, figuratively. I know it's scaring at people and be like the listeners of the radio, they don't just listen to one format. Let me just entertain them, Like, let's serve them the format they came to hear country music. But in this segment, it's my time. I would like to serve them with some biggie. I would like to serve them with some Ed Shearing, mixing a little George Straight and Garth, and then made we go and play and they were like, oh, I don't never work. Okay, well cool, let's test it. Let's send it to a thousands of people and say they're like, well, oh, it was a bad day for a p d S. Whenever I got the results back from research to the dance party was our second biggest segment. Like they all took their man or woman this is female, male whatever. They all took their ding dong put it between their legs and they were like, Okay, we'll give up on fighting this fight. Because I just know, like I know my people, not all the time at the time. Sometimes I'll talk about something times and people are like, Okay, you're just too crazy. I have no idea. I don't relate to that one bit. You're just nuts time Like, I know my people, and I fight for the format even though it doesn't seem like it whenever I'm playing a little oozy song and I'm doing a bit going like, but I fight for the format, and I'm the person to fight for the format because I'm today's normal listener of country music, meaning I love it, also love other things, and so I but it's the most important format to me and only my formats. I think formats are stupid. I think formats are stupid. I think formats back in the day are cool, Like how it was so different and splitting. Everybody had their own place. Everything. Now with the digital age, being able to just kind of intertwine has changed the culture. So because of the culture change, I don't get angry when things start to sound somewhat sonically similar. You can't get angry at that. And so I love formats from the sixties and the seventies, the eighties and the nineties, even then it started once Napster came out, influences just were happening. And sometimes you don't even know your influenced by things, yet you are so much so that you can try to make a traditional country record, but then you end up making a John Party record, which is you don't get more country the John Party. I had a had a thirty minute conversation with John Party and okay, uh disclosure. John Party and our friends not buddies. Only have like three friends in my life, John Party, I are good buddies as far as artists go. One of them that I would call and go, Hey, I know it's ten o'clock on a Saturday. Would you mind like driving over the house from minute and help me out with this? Like I would all John Party to do that, and he'd be like, yeah, man, i've been down. I come to it, or he wouldn't be able to. But we're talking about stink bugs and renovating all these things. But John Party made an album that's traditional country, but really sonically is so progressive sounds and tracks and people because of the cowboy hat and because he really is that's John Party the country dude. But John Party was completely influenced by R and B hy bop, A lot of sounds that you don't even mean to know that you just are and that you know his California Sunrise it's name of right, um, it's Wise Records so good, he's mixed. He found the way to make it both and make everybody happy. Like there are people don't like country. They're like beings cracked down, still trying to get paid. That's a gem. Like I don't even know why I like that one because it's a good song about what format it is? This whole I guess about the Grammys. Haven't even got there. Have a drinking tea? Oh my god, are we that far? Oh man? I have a meeting too him? Like, okay, okay, what I've everybody watching on Facebook right now listening to me? Continue to go on and I'll go back and read the comments later, not all of them, because people will start fighting. I'll be like, Bobby's a douche, and that's by the time I check out. I'll be like, why do you think he's a douche? Because now he has a beard, And I'm like, well, there's no there's no logic behind that. If you're like, he's a douche because he feels this way and I don't agree, I'd be like, I don't agree, but you can see where you're coming from. I feel like I'm a douche, Like I know that I'm a douche because I don't think a douche is a bad person. I have friends in the douchebags. I think a douchebag is someone that at times feels they're the much cooler than they really are. And the only thing I'm good at is this, and I'm good at it. I'm in the Hall of Fame. Good God, I'm in the Hall of Fame. Is that crazy play? And that felt the whole thing felt ridiculous. It's the whole different vigu. I felt ridiculous, and the whole thing was ridiculous. And I shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame, But too bad, I'm in it. I'm in the Radio Hall of Fame, sucking everybody? How about that? Should? I mean, I shouldn't be, but I'm in it. Like my listeners put me in the Hall of Fame. And if you were like, okay, all things that even should you be in the radio Hall of Fame? Of course? Not? No, the absolutely not. But you know what, I'm in the Hall of Fame. Go to Chicago to having museum pictures pictures there, I signed that thing I'm in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, that was pretty crazy. It's like it was like me and a bunch of seven year olds in the picture. I felt stupid the whole night. I felt stupid the whole night. I felt like, this is so ridiculous. I don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, but I deserve to be here to represent the listeners, which is why when I got on stage, I was like I and everyone else is you know, these guys have a whole career to think people that have been there with them for fifty years as while I was like, listen, I would be listeners. Some of them are listening online right now. Let me just say I just wouldn't be on this podium. I probably shouldn't be on the podium, but without the people listening to the shows, I wouldn't be here. And then I think some people obviously were influential to Mike. It was like I wrote a memoir in my book. I was like, I should remember, this is stupid. I was thirty four, thirty five years old, Like what have I done in my life to deserve to write a memoir? And so I was embarrassed to turn it in. And I've said this. I don't even know if I said it on the air, but I've said this to enough friends where it's I mean this in a sincere way of When I wrote that book, I was embarrassed, not at the things that I said inside of it, but because I felt like I was gonna have to go promote something that wasn't a good product, because I'm like, this is not a good I'm not a good writer. The book is not good. Why would someone read about me? There was the best seller for four weeks, so I'd like to say this, I'm gonna New York Times number one best selling authors suck get. But again, I would never have thought that, because it was like, I just did not think it was good. And when I sent the first two people send it to, I was like, oh, and I know people are gonna say sometimes because you send work to them and you're like, they're gonna be like, oh, it's good. That book was. I was embarrassed. I was so embarrassed until the week after it came out and people were like, dude, some of your stories I so relate to and thank you for telling those stories. About yourself because I felt like nobody related to them. That book was the thing for me where it was like, nobody understands what I'm about to say, nobody has been through the situation A, B, C, D, E F G. I go to comedy shows I could do. You know, people like you know what story and I was like, like, really, you you know what that feels like. They're like, oh my god. Yeah. I was like wow. And so for me, that's been the big time. And I'm writing the second book now and I hate. It's terr It's terrible. It's a terrible book. And I feel the same way I did my first book, and it's the only tool that I have to keep me from going insane because the first book I was runing the all time. But like, it's terrible. The second book, it's a terrible book, and I'm like, I'm gonna have to put it out and it's probably gonna suck. I'm not gonna live up to what the first one is, which I thought sucked anyway, and people convinced me it wasn't. But because I went through that first round feeling that way, I can at least have this voice on my head of a little bit of real life, going, hey, you felt this way once and it didn't turn out like you thought it was going to. So it's like I have two voices, the one going this sucks and the one going, yeah, you told yourself that before and turned out pretty good, so let's not beat yourself up completely. So that's the process of them going through right now. I just had an email with my publisher, Like the book sucks, I say it it's I don't the whole and waits to the title of the book yet, but the whole thing is about how failing is just essential to succeeding. Then I told this started his head talk on with that thing. That tip talk was called um losing to win or winning by losing. Yeah, Like the people that are the most successful, and we see them as people we want to because so successful. They're the people that we didn't want to be for a long time because they felt so much like we had no idea that we have no idea people's failures. We only see the big successes. We have no idea that ten thousand things they were rejected for. But the biggest winners are the ones that can learn from rejection. They get up and just take another punch, and then they learn from that point and they get up, they take another punch, like the freaking punisher I dud took so many punches the needs and got out and he was all healed up immediately. That's what the second books about, and every and people are also telling their stories, like I've reached out to friends I think like Charlemagne, the governor of Arkansas, people like they don't know we're spoil it, but are like the question I asked him was like, Hey, what's your low what's your low point? Like I don't care about the success. I know how successiful you are. People know notw successiful you are. That's why you're being talked to you what's your low point? And there's in all these super successful who have so many low points, and it's like that's that's the common thing. That's the common thing of successful people that they went through a ton of failure. So that's what the book is about. And then I'm probably like two thirds away through it and it is not good. I'm let's say that right on the record, is not good to the Grammys. I say the Grammys, which was the whole reason we're gonna do this um country song better man from a Little Big Town. These are the nominees. Taylor Swift songwriter, There You Go, Body Like a back Road, Sam Hunt, Zach Kroll, Sam Hunt, Shane mcinally, Josh Osborne, songwriters, Broken Halof, Chris Stapleton, and Mike Henderson Drinking Problem Midland Drink. A lot of people wrote that song, Holy crap, like a Beyonce song, Like no of people on the thing. But I think the band was part of it. It's like when Lady A writes a song, there's like five people because three three the band or like a little big town you know you hear that, it's like where it was a little big town. Well that's four writers, holy crap. So yeah, I like people wrote that. And then ten Men written by Jack Ingraham Randall, Lambert John Randall, so mr that the Jack l you don't know hell Lucky? How about that? I know that happened. So those are the five songs. Um all all deserving people are like being a hater on Midland because they have one song, and never be a hater on somebody that gets something. You can always be disappointed for someone who didn't get put in, but never ever be the hater that goes they don't deserve it, because there probably times you didn't deserve something and you got it. I know, God knows I have. I don't think that's fair. And there are people like Sam hump Body like a background. It's the biggest song of the freaking year. Let's just take this away from this. Never be a hater for someone that has something. You can always wish someone that didn't get it would have got it. But don't be like, no, they don't deserve it, says who says you? Who are you? And I'm even me and I'm nothing like. Don't be a hater towards somebody who has something. Be someone who lifts somebody else up. You're like, you know what I really felt like? I don't. I mean, I don't feel this way. But let's go blueing your color. I really feel I feel like bluanch your color should have been in that, and I just don't think better man should Well no, no, that's leave the second part out screwed, the better man not being in there. That there there's nothing to do with it. Okay, it's okay that you feel like bluanch your color got snubbed. Don't be like I don't think better Men should be in there. I don't know, and I saw some people doing that towards Midland, much like Mad and Take at the CMA is people like, well, they shouldn't have been in Duo of the Year. How about instead of people that shouldn't you go? You know who I thought really kind of got robbed was big and Rich. I think they could have been in uh in that Due over the Year award. Not Let's take Maddie and Tau because I haven't put a single out in a year. Don't be hating people that have stuff. Be supportive of people period that you enjoy and like. So I have no problem with any of those songs. A matter of fact, let's see better Man was the number one. I believe Body Like a Bacco was number one. Broken Halo still isn't still in top twenty. Um Sampleton may never have a number one because all the stuff is so good people which want to play it all and and everybody playing it all helps his albums, which is why it sells so many albums, but it hurts the singles and then people go, well, radio sucks are gonna play a thing? And no, no radio plays everything of his. It's like the as soon as Chris comes out with a song, I play it. I was like, oh, I love this one, Scarecrow play it, and then I can't play another one for another forty five minutes. So maybe it takes a broken halo spin out and then so yeah, the whole Stapleton Devin radio single argument. People say that's always stupid to me because people love Stapleton so much. That's why he doesn't have a radio because they want to play all his songs and you can't play three Stapleton songs a hour. Um, I'm fine, So I'm just gonna do. Who do I think will win? Um, I wish. I'm not gonna wish all these I wish body like a back road to win because Sam gets overlooked because he's so progressive and he ain't country. You know, I wish body it. But it'll be probably it'll be Stapleton or Miranda. Yeah and rightfully, so there's not a bad pick in this any of them when Hey, kudos to you, but it'll be Staying and probably probably Stapleton because he crosses genres a little better than mirandidized people that don't like country music like Stapleton, So probably I'm gonna telling myself in to go with Krista Ableton winning that award. I think that's who will win. Um country album Kenny Cosmic Calleluja, which had all the pretty girls girls, Lady a Heartbreak, A Little Big Town the Breaker. I love that Little Big towns Long is so good and I don't know if it's even gonna do anything in radio ah, but I love it. Thomas Rhett Life Changes and then um, Chris Stapleton from a Room, Volume one, and that song is awesome. Okay, I'm gonna do it right now. You know what song did not what album did not get in this that should have is the Miranda record. Oh yeah, it was that. The Maranda Record absolutely should have been this category. Will it win? I don't know. Am I the biggest Like do I listen to Rainda Labor at Home by myself? No? Not really? This album more than any of your others because it's more of an R I like the art slow and I like this album more than I have like when you know piste Off Rando's shooting dudes and the nads, you know gun you know that's really not my kind of jam. I do like this record, um that she did like from my personal taste, but I think she should have been in this. I don't think there's anybody that shouldn't be. Uh. Stapleton wins with from a Room Volume one, and then he wins again from a Room Volume two next year. I mean that, dude, And like, if he didn't win his lives exactly the same to him, he wins his lives exactly the same to him he did. He nothing changes, That's what's awesome about him. There were times when I would talk and and again I'm lucky to get to know Chris a little more, and you would see you're in here. I'd make him completely uncofortable, completely and he looking down and I would just hammer him and I would not let out. But like, dude, look at me, like I take the friends. I think Chris Stapleton wins that Album of the Year. Uh do you have any more? Are there any more? There's the two country with that up. Yeah, okay, let me do um. Song of the Year is that to start with Desposito? Alright? This cetoot it's kind of jam. Jay Z four four four four phone four that whole album sucked. I love jay Z. I was so underwhelmed. I haven't stole the album illegally because it wasn't gonna come out like you had to be was the title was that it was the title thing, and I was like, I'm not I'm not subscribing the title for a jay Z album. So one of my friends like, I'll send you the record. I normally don't do that, Like I said, I'm not a perfect person, but I didn't. I was like, Oh, I'm glad I didn't subscribe for this. It was not that was not my chamb. I just felt like old jay Z. That wasn't like lyrically when I read it, it was it seemed like wonderful poetry. But I just it, Yeah, listen to it once. They never went back to, yeah, are you apologizing? That's the song of the year. Julia Michael's issues so different, so awesome. Love it. I sit on the show this morning like that's one of those where you gott look at the radio and go, what is this because nothing sounds like it. That's good logic featuring all those people. One hundred two seven three to five five, which is the actual number to call it's a suicide hotline. Uh, great message and the song is really good too, which is which is crazy because then I said the number of the song, which is crazy. But what a brilli good idea. That's the name of the song. But they don't stay in the song because they don't need to, like, here's the message, but here's the title and if you need to know, here's the number here for you to call love that well, it's set. That's different level, that's second level thinking a day that's good. And then Bruno Mars is what I like. That's what I like, lucky. So here's what happens. Jay z song that's garbage. Um, it's not really garbage because I can't do it, but it just this a category. Jay Z o the garbage, UM, garbage. The desk Withsito And that's what I like are the populist votes because they're both so big. That is so big, so big, it's just when it when Biebers on something, critics go and they shouldn't, but they go, no, we're not gonna get this an award. They shouldn't. Jess Bieber was good. Uh, and that song is good and I love that a non English song dominates for a while to mean that even though I don't know, there's saying it's gotta be so good. It's like this group BTS the K Pop crem I don't get it, but I'm like, that's cool name. There's something to it. I don't know what they're saying, but it's like, don't it's yeah, they're not in any awards, but I wanna, you know, I think that, um, we're gonna pick one of these. It's I'm gonna go with because I'm torn between the two. I'm gonna go because of the message. I'm gonna go with logic. I think that one song in the year and isn't the biggest song. No, but you have to start weeding things out. I'm gonna go that. I want you Yeah, what would you pick? I'd probably just see them such a big it was the biggest song. I just feel like people see justin Bieber. Maybe the data can replace the Biber hate because the data is that's the biggest song. And I hope and if it doesn't, I mean probably it's like Samlan it probably should be. But I just feel like people see Bieber and goat n he's a brat. It shouldn't not all time there's some other country get like a country group do a performance which or there's something the worlds just gets so weird and so like odd. But um, everybody who cares country selo performance I don't even know what that means. Performance like but you have to submit a YouTube video of you perform a song in your living room or what like. I really don't know what that means. Um, but like Sam and Alison Krause is nominated, Miranda Lambert, Mary Morris, Chris Apleton, listen, I Christ Appleton's in an award, Just go ahead and give him the award. If our country do a group, you just give it to Brothers Osborne. They're awesome and the people love them and the critics love them. It's a rare thing. It's a rare they don't have a number one song, but it's a rare thing that critics and people both love them. Also, I love them in many ways. Best New Artists, which the interesting category how long we've been on the air. By the way, on the air we are live on Facebook. Best new orders. That'll like this category, except there's no last ye way two country. We had two country females yeah, this year ain't crap. None of the big fourteen categories that they have country artists and it already went touch Biel. It's irritating because like for somebody to root for on the TV show, because the TV show is I mean, that's whenever it watches. Otherwise you have to remind people. Yeah, I want to Grammy, cool cool cool. I see it was a commercial. It's on YouTube. No no, no no no, they gave it to me at three pm at a and it's still a Grammy and that's awesome. But want me on t V show And none of our people are gonna be on TV. So let's see. Unless they put one of the country category, I don't know if they put they may do Country out of the Year or something like that, like they may do one of those uh new artist this Alicia Alicia Carra Lessia Carra. Yeah, I know the song. I know she is a fantastic singer. Yeah. I listened to when I leave that the Scott Beautiful, This got to your Beautiful, I listened to. Um. I'll listen to Elvis Dan sometimes on after the show, but they don't play music on Elvis podcast. I don't get to hear the music, but I do listen to Ryan's show because they're two hours behind. So if I do, if it's ten thirty or eleven, all right, I'm in the car after the show, I'll flip it over and put it on Kiss in Los Angeles and listen. That's how you hear a lot of the music. Also, UM have satellite too, and so they have Kissing Z one hundred or on satellite, and so I'll listen to them from that music that Hits one channel. Kind of douche because they totally stole tell Me something Good. They they literally do a segment so like Secret Says too. But Ryan called me and was like, hey, dude, and now even don tell me some good in fourteen years. Do you mind if I do it? And I mayna do it the same way you do it, but I'm gonna do it like you do where I play the jingle And I was like, sure, I hope everybody's tell me something good, but only with written permission from me. I don't know to say that. But they do that on Hits one and they do tell me some other good and I'm just like, man, I'm just only being a hater, but picking different things like other shows. Dude, like, here's the happening happy news in the day. Do tell me something good the same exactly way we do it Google's I'm sure they're nice people. But I listened to that hits one and I'm like, yeah, and what else you got here? Um? Location from Kalid Texas Kid. I remember going over and looking at his Twitter and he had like a thousand followers like when he first came. I mean yeah, and now I watched him at the BT Awards this year too. I got like a tweet posted like three years ago. He's like, I'd like to go to the Grammy someday and you re tweeted it today. He's like, Hey, I did it and that great. Yeah, that's cool. It's pretty cool. This is a good song. I like this. He's not with DJ Khali, you know what I mean. It's Kalid, right, is it? There? You go? I've mispronounced two names so far. I don't hear him said, I's listening to songs. I do love that. Say you're Lokis. That's good. He's Beaumont right, got no shame of my pronouncements, Lozi, Louzy Bert. He's really I mean, he's obviously really good. But when he came out with that chair and I was like, this garbage, why are you running that chairing performance? But again, I'm threaty seven now, so I probably not getting it. Like it's also me. It's like I'm a mispronounced kids and I'm not like some of the new stuff. But I recognize that here we go. I just I have no idea what you just said, just in case you're wondering you're listening at home, no idea the words he just said. I just red Rock, Devin Stock, red Rock. That's not right. But that's why I'm thinking. I just masso Fascar, NASCAR and then got no one that we moved. Listen, I got a fast car and NASCAR. Yeah. I also understand that's not meant for me, meant for a younger generation. For I meant for twenty two year olds. So I respect that. But to me, I just hear, get off my lawn. You know that's me. I'm the old man. Kids get so a little goosie vert that I'm ready thing today where this is the first year that um like best artist maybe new artists, Julie Mikos, like there were no white males. They were like, hey, look at that. Look at that. White males aren't dominating. Yeah, And I was like, yeah, that's cool. Wait I'm a white male. I still like that's cool. Yeah, Like listen. In the same way, I'm like, I'm enough with white males. Like let's say some female. Let's get some diversity in there. We've seen what white males do. Just in general, enough enough with old white males. Um Julian Michaels for Best New Artists. She's awesome. I mean she's like two foot all and she wrote all these songs for all these artists too. She's a songwriter. First I watched her do like a medley of all our songs playing them, and then I went up and I was just geeking out there. I was like, I gotta get a picture with you. It was one of the few artists that I would do like, I didn't care, stepped through people. Was like, Julia, get a picture with here, but it's a big fan. I turned into a little loozy but speaking in and she's okay, I take a picture of that. Ran away like Michaels NASCAR Fast Car Julie Michaels. And then another one that I guess I don't want not to pronounce because Scissa. Yeah, yeah, but I didn't pronounce that before. But it's as z a Weekend. I know the song just keep you on the It's like all the cycles come back, like that's nineties R and B right there? Man? Or is it seventeen R B? Or is it both? You know? Who wins that? Probably Collied probably he. I think he's I think people probably at a tough point because it's just that that's a that's a wide wide open when last year I don't feel like it was so what chancel one last year? Right, I feel like that was wide open at all, And I was like, that's you know, that's who's gonna win this year? Probably? I mean I like Julian Michaels a lot because she's a great songwriter, but probably Klid As I called him five minutes to Gilbert Kelly. Are you think when that I was also going to colle I mean, I think it's between them and Julia Michaels. Yeah, but I think you got it. Yeah. I think it's all I want to do. How I've been talking one oh six longer than we get an artist in here is just me rambling on about stupid stuff. UM, thank you for being here. If you listening this far, you can always tweet me. It's say hey, Bobby, you pick your notes on Facebook. Or you can say I appreciate your thoughts on stuff, or I I agree with you, thank you're for sharing, or I don't agree with you, but if you used to, if you're just a dick, I'm gonna block you. I got no problem blocking somebody like Twitter. My Twitter feed you when I hit a reply that's not property. How many people won't stand on my property. I don't want my property. No one's gonna stand in my front yard and tell me how it's stupid I am. If I don't want them telling me how stupid I am, so I will block them from being in my front yard. That's the way I will block someone on Twitter if they're just being ridiculous and hateful for no reason. If I deserve it, I was like, oh, we're gonna black hole. If I don't deserve it, get in my yard. I got in my yard. Kids, all right, we're gonna go. Thank you very much. This has been an episode eighty nine.
