Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hey, everybody, another episode of In the Weeds. I'm going
to start with something that went kind of viral this
last week. I didn't expect it to and some folks
were angry, some folks weren't, but you always hear the
anger the loudest. And on the last episode, I was
talking about whenever I do an interview with someone and
they come in and there is a gift take in
(00:32):
the interview, meaning I've only got so much inventory here,
so much time on a show, and they want to
promote something, and so when they come in, I'll let
them promote what they're here to promote. That's why they
came in, and they are going to give me some
good content. That's why I'm having them on. And then
that's kind of the dance. And I talked about that,
(00:53):
and I said, I'm going to let you promote your
thing if I'm going to let you come in on
the show. And I had four or five artists that
got pretty pissed off about that, going, well, we don't
need to come in on your show. You're right, you
absolutely don't need to come in on my show. You don't.
(01:13):
Nobody needs me, nobody needs any one thing anymore. Is
what's crazy. Ten years ago, I would go, Yep, you
definitely need this show. You don't need any single entity
to promote something. Heck, you could almost need nothing if
you catch the algorithm a few times. And that wasn't
(01:34):
my point with that. My point was, if you're going
to come in and want to talk about your project,
don't just only talk about your project over and over again,
because my audience doesn't want to hear that. And I've
got to serve the people that are listening to me
through podcasts, through Netflix, through the radio show, whatever I'm in.
(01:54):
So that happened, and I had some artists to reach out.
One really big artist reached out was kind of pissed
off about it, meaning I said, oh, I don't need
your show. You're right, you don't need my show. I
completely agree, but if you do want to come in
on the show, it's fair for you to give me
if I'm going to give you. So that happened, But
what that was met with is what was crazy, because
(02:16):
I definitely thought it was kind of weird that some
artists reached out about that. So negatively, I started to
have people reach out that host pretty Big pot one two,
pretty Big podcasts, A couple guys that do radio shows.
One really famous sports writer hit me up and said
(02:36):
thank you for saying that. So it was a weird
week with that. I didn't expect that to go kind
of viral, and I did see too, Aaron Watson had
posted it, kind of reposted it. You know how you
do a duet and you keep it up on one
half and then you're on the other half. Sometimes you
say stuff and he was just like looking at it,
and he's always, you know, being funny, causing trouble. But
(03:00):
and I like Aaron. We had definitely got to a
fight a long time ago, but we're so over that.
He's been on the show multiple times. I enjoy the guy,
and I enjoy especially like what he does as an artist,
being independent, right, like the guy grinds. But I know
what he was doing. He was setting me up so
these other folks would be bashing me in his comments,
and boy did they. One person said that guy is
(03:20):
so overrated, and I really enjoyed that because that means
I'm rated high, and thank you. If I'm overrated, I'm
rated high. Thank you very much. Makes me so happy
that I'm overrated. People are rating me too high. That's
a weird thing that happened for the last episode, So
(03:40):
that's what's up. Artists got mad. Listeners and other people
that do podcasts and radio shows did not get mad.
Did not expect that to be a topic on Today's
in the Weeds. So if you've never seen the show before,
I talk about stuff that nobody should care about. This
is the show that's in the Weeds about my career,
the industry, the music industry, and I never would think
anyone would stream a single episode and who cares everything?
(04:04):
I'm gonna doing that after this? Who cares? Change it?
Change to go to the next YouTube video because this
is all gonna be so boring. Next up, what's the
hardest conversation you have ever had to have with an employee?
And I'm pulling these from the comments section of my
YouTube page. You guys are great at going and writing
comments there and I just copy and paste them over
(04:24):
for the next show, So thank you for doing that.
The hardest conversation that I think I've had to have
was with Amy, who is my co host, who was
on an episode a couple ago, and she was going
through a lot in her life. Her mom had died,
her dad was sick, she was going through she's now divorced.
(04:45):
There was a lot going on and I just had
to tell her she needed to go away and go
get herself right. And we do a show where we're
there and we're consistent five days a week. We do
a countdown on Saturday podcast. We want to be there
for you and whenever it's in your rhythm right that
(05:08):
that's my goal. When you're having your rhythm, I'm going
to be there for you so you can be entertained,
or you can learn, or you can do Because I
have podcasts that I do that with that if they're off,
I'm like, the whole day's messed up. So I want
to be that for you guys. And so even within
my show, I rarely miss. Something really crazy has to
(05:31):
happened for me to miss. But I don't think the
show members should live to that same standard. If I'm
not there, the show does not go on. Contractually, if
I'm not there, the show doesn't go or rerun runs
and I hate reruns. Even we go on vacation. We
create full new shows for you guys, because I know
what it's like. I am a consumer, so I know
(05:51):
when my when my show's out, and messages with my day.
So because of the expectation that I set, which is
show up on time every time, good attitude, work as
hard as a person next to you. I think it's
really hard for some people on the show to go, oh,
I should take a break, I should leave. And so
(06:13):
with Amy, it was you're going through a lot, I'll
see you in two months, I'll see you in three months.
And that was hard because I knew she might take
it in a way of oh, I'm not wanted here
or I'm not needed when it was precisely the opposite,
when it was a year so wanted here and so
needed here. I need you to get good for you,
(06:36):
because if you're not good for you, you're not good
for me. And that was a difficult conversation because I
had to make sure that she felt about it how
I felt about it, because it could have easily been
construed another way, especially because I don't miss I mean,
there are people that will come in on the show sick,
I don't. You should not come in. If you're sick,
(06:56):
you should not come in. If you have family drama,
you should not come in. If anything is in the way,
I need you to be the best version of you.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Do I live by that myself? No, because I kind
of can't. And it's what I signed up for. And
I'm okay with that now. If something's real bad, okay,
Like one of the crazier stories is I remember. And
by the way, this is me talking and I'm not bragging,
but it's me talking about how unhealthy I am about
(07:23):
this because I think all of mine comes from insecurity.
Meaning if I'm late, and I'm late over time, I
think that my job performance is going to go down.
And if it goes down because I'm late and I'm
not focused, I will then lose my job. And if
I lose my job, I will have no money and
I'll be back where I grew up. That's my constant fear,
(07:43):
has been my fear of my whole life. It's not rational,
but that does not mean that it's not real. And
so I'm there and all of my success is based
on being insecure. And so so if I'm sick, I
purposefully have my desk and tabled away from everybody else
(08:04):
in that room so I don't get them sick. And
if I can pick my feet up, I go in,
and I owe it to them to go in. I'm
the leader. It's not all. Everything's not the same. You
can look at a football team. Every player's not treated
the same. They shouldn't be treated the same. Everybody on
my show is not treated the same because people bring
different things to the show and also there are different personalities,
(08:28):
and so for me, as a leader, I got to
be there. I remember getting a call and this is
crazy because I don't think about this often. I remember
getting a call from my sister during my morning show,
and for someone to call me during the morning show
is a bit weird because anybody that knows me knows
from five am until around ten thirty or eleven, I'm
(08:51):
doing the show. So just text me unless something's wrong,
than call me. And my sister called and then it
went away, and then should call it again, And I
knew I'm my head immediately my mom died. I just
knew my mom wasn't sick. She'd had some trouble with
addiction over the years, and it had been recently had
some problem. She was just out of rehab, not having
(09:14):
completed it, but just had left it. But I knew
what she called the second time during the show that
my mom died. I remember answering the phone and in
my head, I said, I'm going to get some bad
news here. Whatever is said through that phone, I am
not going to let it affect me because I've got
to finish the show and I'm i going to say
anything to anybody else, and we're going to finish the
show and we'll talk about it later. And I picked
(09:34):
it up and my sister was crying and she goes, hey,
mom died. And I was like, I knew it. And
I was like, okay, oh no, and I wasn't like
that to her. I said, what happened? They said that
they found her in the trailer so and so founder
and I was like, so, you're like, what can I
(09:57):
do right now? She said nothing right now, We'll call
you later with whatever. I said, okay, great, just call
me as soon as you know, which was going to
be afternoon. I'd be out of work, hung it up,
went right back to the show and did the rest
of the show. And that's not a brag, that's a
that's unhealthy. It was unhealthy. It's probably unhealthy that I
(10:20):
hold myself to an unfair standard like that. Now, as
soon as the show is over, like eleven thirty or twelve.
I told him. I was like, my mom died, and
she was like, that's what that call was. I'm like yeah,
And so then I started crying and then I missed
a day of work. I wish I could tell me
back then to chill the f out, just like that
(10:41):
would be advice that I would give myself back then,
chill the f out. If you're sick or something bad happens,
it's okay to take a couple of days. But all
of my success has been heavily rooted in fear of failure.
And it's okay to fail, and I failed a lot,
but I don't want I don't want to fail. I've
(11:02):
written books on failure, and I don't think failing's not fun.
Sometimes people go, oh, you're the guy that likes to fail.
You're the person that likes to have diarrhea. No, you,
nobody likes to have it. I don't want to have it,
but I've had it so many times. I know that
it's going to happen, and I'm probably going to get
better because of it once the pain of it goes away.
(11:23):
Like my biggest fear is failing and not learning anything
from it. My biggest fear is not failing. Other than
that one hundred times, I'll do that one hundred more.
The fear is when I do fail, I get nothing
from it and I'm the same person. That's a fear.
And the hardest conversation I had was to tell somebody
(11:44):
the opposite of what I did, which was, you need
to go away for a long time because I need
you to be you. You don't need to do this
right now. So it's a long answer to that question,
but that was it. That's the hardest one because I
needed her to know she was valued and loved, and
she also needed to leave for a long time, and
(12:04):
those that juxtaposition doesn't feel linear at all. All right.
Other questions, if someone secretly filmed your average Tuesday, what
would surprise people? I don't know if anyone will be surprised.
But I'm actually recording this on a Tuesday, so I
can tell you what the day is like today. I
(12:26):
woke up at four point fifteen this morning. As soon
as I wake up, there's no shower, there's no slow stroll.
It's like this, oh God, And then I just start
hammering away to get everything done, I get to work.
I do the actual live show until around nine thirty AM.
It goes on until ten, but some of our East
(12:47):
Coast affiliates check out, so because it's ten thirty on
the East Coast. So we then we go live for
an hour on YouTube. After we've done the show and recording.
I do all that stuff at the studio until around
twelve thirty twelve forty five. I've started to have to
bring a little bit of lunch with me. I never
would do that. I have to bring my lunch, but
(13:08):
I'm bringing something to eat to work guy now, especially
on Monday and Tuesday, because I will go from where
we do the iHeart work to here where we shoot
the NFL Show and the Netflix shows. It's some studios
that we built here myself. I didn't build it, but
they're mine. I own them. I mean Dylan and Brandon
(13:30):
and Reid built them. It doesn't matter regardless. I come
here on a Tuesday. After I finish that, I leave
there about twelve forty I get here at one. From
one to two, I do the NFL Show with Matt Castle.
As soon as that's over, I will hop into this,
which is some sort of hour recording. I'm recording in
(13:51):
the weeds today, which is what we're doing. After this,
I will go to therapy. So I'll do this until
about three. I'll get to therapy at three thirty, three
thirty to four thirty. I get home around four forty five.
I will work out from four forty five until five thirty,
only forty five minutes because the baby's bath is a
five forty five and I got fifteen minutes to do
a shower to make sure the baby can get a bath,
(14:12):
and I'm in there. I'm half the hands in the
baby bath. Then i start working on the next day
shows because I've got a bobbycast tomorrow and the radio show.
Just it's all that. So if you ask me a Tuesday,
that's what a Tuesday is. But I'm not whining about it.
I enjoy it. I just wish my eating was a
little better. On a Tuesday, I have to find little holes.
(14:33):
If you ask me on a Thursday, it's a little
a little easier. I like to get ahead on Monday
and Tuesday, especially because if something happened, when I get
sick or something, I can't do a show on Thursday
or Friday. This is me being a neurotic. I like
to have enough done that I have that leeway. At
what point in money stop motivating you day to day?
And that's a great question. The answer is it literally
(14:55):
never has one time in my life motivated me day
to day, and I think if I had any money
it'd be different. Growing up, I feel extremely blessed at
this point in my life that I was so poor
growing up, And that is a weird thing to say,
but I was never motivated by money because I never
had money. I never needed to maintain anything. It was
(15:17):
all up up from here. So for me, it is awesome.
If I can have a job I love, that's all
that mattered. If I could pay the bills and have
a job I love, that's all that mattered. Now did
I think I was going to be successful. Absolutely, You've
got to be crazy to have to do a job
like this. But money has motivated me none day to
(15:41):
day because you would think earlier on when you had less,
it would more never, and then when I got more never,
it just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Do I have more now than before, of course, but
I don't think that I've ever worked harder than I
do now, at least consistent hours. I don't travel as much,
mostly because we do the show on Netflix, and I
do two sports podcasts and the Bible. There's a lot, right,
but it's awesome, like I couldn't and I have a
great team, and so I'm not saying, look at me,
(16:15):
look how hard I work. I'm saying, man, I'm so
fortunate to get to work this hard and never been
motivated by money. Not motivated by money now at all.
But that's probably because I have it. Wiseman once said,
having money is not everything. Not having it is true.
Words have never been spoken. That's a hip hop first.
(16:41):
You probably look that one up.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Hank Tight The Bobby Cast will be right back, and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Is it ever weird with people that you talk about
if you see them in public. I don't leave my
house a lot, so I usually don't see folks in public.
If I purposefully don't pursue going to something industry related
and I go to nothing industry related. At first, I
(17:20):
just didn't want to go because honestly, I didn't want
to have to be fake friends with people, or be
mid friends with people, and then have commentary about something
they're doing. Professionally because I felt like i'd pull punches,
like I really liked the person and they did something stupid,
illegal song kind of sucked. I decided I didn't want
(17:44):
to have to make that decision. I just wanted to
be true to the feelings I had, and so at
first I just really tried to become friends with nobody
in the industry. What's crazy is there's a lot of
great people here in this town, and so some people
that I think, I thought I shouldn't be friends with
(18:05):
them because I don't want to have industry friends. There's
awesome people, and I have friends that are amazing, that
are artists, that are famous artists, that are record label people.
I'd never wanted to But is it awkward if I
see him in the public. I can give you an example.
I a few weeks ago was saying some things. I
(18:27):
was doing some commentary on a a certain There's something
musical that happened that I thought kind of sucked, and
so I talked about it. Now it wasn't personal, and
then I saw the head of the label of the person,
(18:50):
and he was cold to me. And honestly, it's such
wrestling to me. I meaning when I'm on the air
and I'm talking about that stuff. It is not personal.
I forget about it when I leave. It's I do
feel that way, but it's faking that. I don't go
home thinking about it. I'm entertaining. So it's such wrestling
to me that when I saw this person that's ahead
(19:10):
of that label, I thought nothing of it, and I
was like, what's up, Hey, man, I rarely see anybody.
I like, great to see you. He's very cold to me,
and I couldn't figure out why. But he was so
cold that I thought something was up, and I said,
what have I done any And then I remember what
I said about said music, and I was like, oh,
(19:32):
he's pissed about that. But none of that stuff's ever
personal to me, but it can be to other people.
I get it, and you know what, maybe he should
have been cold to me, But yes, that can be awkward,
but for the most part, it's fine. I don't see
many people. Would you say most artists that we know
are good people are bad people? Well, that is a
(19:54):
weird question. I would say it's very much like people
you know in real life, Like I would put him
in that ratio because they're I'm not gonna say normal
because they have an abnormal job. But there are some
very famous artists that are the greatest people and that
with their whole heart. They lead, they give, they help,
(20:19):
they're humble. There are some that I look at and
I aspire to be more like because it's not a facade,
and sometimes they don't even put it out there at
all that they are that type of person. So, yes,
there's that. But there are also artists that are wildly famous, revered,
people love, and they are scum. And what's weird about
(20:42):
that is it's hard for me to look at any
article about them or Instagram about them and see all
the comments worshiping so and so, and I know in
real life what kind of person they are and how
they treat other people. So I'm not saying that the
whole industry is that at all, because there are probably
more A version A great than B. But there are
(21:06):
some that are so famous and they are bottom dwellers.
You get money or fame, it just makes you more
of who you were or who you really are. I
think it's what they say, if you give somebody a
bunch of money your fame, it just makes you more
of what you really are, and sometimes it is awesome
to see. And sometimes, man, there's one super famous artist
(21:28):
that is the worst. I'm talking about a bully treats
people bad. It doesn't matter. I don't want to. I'll
say something and you'll figure I don't because it doesn't
matter who it is. But for the most part, thumbs up.
For the most part, people are just normal anyway. I'm
not even gonna say like, they're not all the Pope
and they're not all Damien, but there are on both sides.
(21:49):
But there are a few. They are way, way, way
famous that people worship and they are garbage cans. It's crazy,
all right. Moving on, how are you doing on reading
comments only on Tuesdays? For the most part, that's what
I'm doing every once in a while because I do
giving Tuesday on my radio show, and I was doing
(22:10):
that to combat the negativity of my DMS generally speaking,
and so I find people that need help and I
help them. That's what's up. It was for me a
selfish mental health exercise to make me feel better on
social media. So I need something, I got, I'm av
in mom some money, and so that's been going for
about two and a half months now, and I like it.
(22:31):
It makes me feel good. Therefore it is it is selfish.
Now I'm doing something for other people, and that's cool.
But yeah, it's a selfish thing because I'm doing it
because it makes me feel good. But do I love
that I can help people? Absolutely? I needed help, so
I do that a lot. So I will sometimes get
in late Monday evenings and look at that, but comments
for the most part only on Tuesdays. I can tell
(22:53):
you I did this podcast called Human School and the
guys that does the podcast his name is Miles, and
I know Miles a little bit, and we did it.
We recorded a couple months ago. I started to wonder
if it was ever coming out, and it finally came out.
And I when I'm a guest on something, it's hard
(23:14):
for me to go and look and see what people
are saying about me because I know I'm just just
gonna eat me up because I want my page. And
I went over and there were so many nice things
said about me. A little bit. It felt so foreign,
but it made me feel so good. And I was
so appreciative to anybody who commented anything nice about me,
because my expectation is not that my expectation is that
(23:35):
everybody hates me. If I get online, if I'm reading
something about me, I feel like everybody hates me. Now
that's my irrational brain talking. Because it my rational brain,
that other side goes that can't be true because you
have a very successful career talking to people about things
(23:57):
that you like, don't like, things that are funny, things
that are said, you help people, You have a large audience.
If people didn't like you, you wouldn't have a large audience.
So the irrational brain can a little bit combat the
irrational brain. But the irrational brain is that I'm so
disliked because all I see is being disliked because most people,
(24:22):
if they like something, don't write about it. And I'll go, hey,
this is great. How many times you go to a
restaurant it's awesome and then you go do a review
and it's like, hey, really good stuff there, love the pizza.
Almost never, unless like that's your thing reviewing, you never
do that. I wish I did more of that. I
don't do that. I wish I did more of writing
thank you notes. I'm stupid. I don't do that. Always
go I get a thank you note from someone and
I go, dang, this is so nice. I got a
thank you note. I'm gonna be a guy that writes
(24:44):
thank you notes now and then I lay it down
and I never even think about it again until I
get another thank you note. Then I'm like, I got
this thank you note, I should be thank you. No guy,
I'm gonna do it. Thank you No. I lay it
down and think about it. I get another thank you note,
and then it's rinse and repeat. So Tuesdays are for
the comments late Monday night sometimes when I'm doing Giving Tuesday.
(25:04):
But that this is not a promo for that podcast.
You can listen to it. It's not my podcast. But
I did guest on Human School and the comments were
so nice that it made me feel really good and
I appreciate, appreciated that. Have you ever had to edit
things out because of the company. I give you one
and a half examples. On my NFL show, we had
(25:27):
pac Man Jones on. He got in a lot of
trouble in the NFL, but he was a really good
defensive back. But he came in with Matt Castle and
I on my show called Lots to say a plus
plus guest I'm talking about. He was saying self that
even I was going, is he really saying? I believe him?
But it's he even in say they would smoke what
(25:47):
right before I get I mean, it was crazy. He
was such a great guest. The differences on that show,
I don't own it, like I'm that's I worked for
the NFL. Well in that show, I am a one
hundred percent hired employee, So I don't have any final cut,
say if they want it now. They've never edited anything before,
(26:11):
but that one they got and they said we have
to edit like twenty five percent of this out, And
I said, I get it. It was awesome, but I
got it. I understood why. But so that would be one.
There was another one. I'm not going to mention who.
But I was talking about some stuff on the air
and a literal artist called my CEO to complain, what's
(26:36):
wrong with you? A literal artist called my ceo to
complain about what I was saying about. It wasn't anything personal.
And so I get a call from somebody in corporate going, hey,
this happened. What do you think. I was like, I
just deleted it. I don't give a crap, Like I'm
(26:56):
not fighting to free hostages here, but this artist, big
artist called my boss, big boss to go. You know,
oh luck, we need said and take it down. We
took it down, Woissie. You don't know who it is.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
And it may not even been in the last six
months or so because I like to time shift everything
just in case. Thank you for all the comments. I
got it, man, I have a few more here. Is
there any show drama within the room that doesn't make
the air, Yes, and most of the time I don't
know about it. Any group dynamic with people that are close,
(27:40):
there's going to be drama. You're talking about We've been
together twenty years and then other new people are in,
and you know, we got eight or nine people that
do all kinds of stuff from the countdown to the
night show, to the morning show, to podcast to at commercial.
Like there's a reason we all those people work there. Specifically,
there's one thing that people don't know I know about.
(28:02):
I don't want them to know that I know about
it because it is so dramatic within that unit of
my morning show that I don't want to be involved.
I don't want to be in anybody's drama. I myself
am not a drama queen too. I don't need to
know the drama. I hate tea. That's why I'd be terrible.
I'd be a terrible English person. I don't want your tea.
(28:25):
And so, yes, there's this one thing that happened a
while ago and it was thought. I never knew about it,
and it was significant and it went away, and I
know that it's back. But I never knew about it
the first time, so I can't know about it the
second time. But yeah, I know all about it, but
I don't want to talk about it to them, because
(28:46):
don't I don't want everybody to know I know. But yes,
it's also just a general group dynamic. Sure there are
issues to just anybody at work working together. You're gonna
have issues with people, But for the most part, no,
because I don't allow anything to affect the show. Anybody
comes in. If a single person is toxic to the
actual breath of the show, they're out immediately, goodbye, thank
(29:10):
you for your time serving. But you can't affect everybody
else trying to do their job in a positive way.
So for the most part, we have a very good culture.
I like to think I set a good culture. So
that's what's up? I should have been saying who these
are from? At Sea Buck two thousand, I remember reading
that you syndicated your show yourself. What does that mean?
(29:30):
When I was in Austin, Texas and I was doing mornings,
and I was just in Austin, Texas, I went to
a radio convention and I saw a little booth for
something called a com Rex. And the com Rex was
a little box. This is at the time that you
could do remote broadcasts from. So you go to a
mattress store, Hey, come on by, I'm crazy Bobby, and
(29:52):
the next six people to come by. You get free
movie passes and a meanie baby, and so you do
that kind of stuff. I'd go and do live event,
live remotes, and I thought, well, if the comrax can
go that far, like, how far can we stretch it?
Because I thought maybe I could get another affiliate in
a town close. And what I learned was you could
stretch the crap out of this thing, and you could
you could do one on the other. So I got
(30:14):
a com Rex signal, paid for two boxes. There were
two thousand dollars each, my own money, and I would
call stations and say, I will syndicate I'll do my
show on your station for free. I'll even pay for
the phone lines. I'll do everything for free. And I
got the boxes here you do nothing. And the first
city to ever say yes was Wichita, Kansas, and I
put two com Rex boxes together. It shot all the
(30:35):
way to Wichita, Kansas basically phone and we did our
show on there and we won. And so then Amarillo
and Lubbock were next. We were in Austin and I
bought two more com Rex boxes because just in one
each I had like nine comeracks. It's like smoking you
in the room. Just so we didn't have an engineer.
My company never said don't do it, but they didn't
know I was syndicating my show. But they were like,
(30:56):
you just I was twenty four years old in Austin.
They didn't know what was going on. They didn't care
what was going on because I wasn't in New York
or LA. They were just like, do your thing. It's cute.
You got a couple of boxes to do remotes from.
So yeah. At one point I had eight or nine
Comerx boxes and we were on in like twenty eight cities.
It was patched together by hangers and tape, not literally
(31:19):
but figuratively, and I didn't. I guess I didn't have
an engineer. But Elena, who was an intern later became
my executive producer. She had to learn how to engineer
all that crap, and so did I, and we would
do it and it was awesome. No, it was terrible
at the time, but it was awesome looking back at
it because how we were able to do that. I
think at one year, I made fifty thousand dollars is
(31:41):
my salary, and I spent thirty eight thousand dollars on equipment,
so I made twelve thousand dollars and if you take
taxes out, not even that. Man, those are the good
old days, though, I'm telling you, those are a good
fricking old days. So thank you for all your questions.
I have so many more. But I got ah because
my wife's car broke down and I gotta go pick
(32:02):
it up. And I just got a text going, hey,
you gotta go or can you please come? And so
she's back home, her car broke down. I gotta go
and meet somebody and we're gonna go probably tow it
or jump it or something. I don't know. But thank
you for watching in the Weeds. Please put a comment
down below if you enjoy the show. If you're listening
on podcasts, put a comment in the what depends on
what you're listening on. On Spotify, they have comments, and
(32:24):
I'll go through and I'll find it. I'll copy and
we'll do this again next week. And also check out
our show called Hosts, where I bring on other hosts.
It's also very boring. We do boring shows here for
some reason. You guys are streaming them, so you keep
streaming them. I'll keep being boring. Stay weedy, everybody. I
(32:44):
said that last time, and then I thought I'll never
say that again, and then people re quoted me. I
ought to go and stay weedy. Stay weedy, everybody. All right,
We're in the Weeds.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Bye, everybody, hang ty the Bobby Cast. We'll be right
back and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I want to play one of the podcasts here on
the old Nashville podcast Network. This is from movie Mike's
movie podcast, where he breaks down all the best and
worst new movies he watched for the whole month. And
he does this a lot to let you know what
movies to watch and what movies not to waste your
time on. Check out movie Mike's movie podcast. But here
it is what was the best movie in your opinion?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
For June it is going to be on streaming and
that is voicemails for Isabella Netflix.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I talk about movies that made me emotional. That movie
kicks you right in the gonads.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
It's so good. What is a movie about?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Okay, so it is about. This isn't a spoiler in
the trailer. It's in the trailer. Uh, there's a girl
who she is leaving voicemails for her late sister, like
just calling and like trying to stay in touch. And
then I gonna be thet way. But there's a guy
and a bit of romance. That's all you need to know.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And a lot of emotions. I think she is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
She is the rom com queen and it is a
rom com. There are some heavier moments, but it is
overarchingly a rom com.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Netflix like getting back to putting out really good rom coms.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
They are. I think that's where they put out two
this month. We'll talk about the other one. It's not
my best.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Oh yeah, they should specialize in that because I feel
like rom coms, especially like this, are hard to sell
tickets to, but it doesn't mean we don't want these stories,
which I want.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
The rom coms take me back to the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Which I think this is a great It kind of
has some elements of the early two thousands but feels
very fresh and modern and something that I didn't really
know I needed. And there were moments that very early
on they were able to establish a connection between these
characters and you feel for them instantly, which is really
hard to do.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
I think it helps.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So it's Zoey deutschen Nick Robinson are the leads, and
they have known each other since high school.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Great, she used to have a crush on him in.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
High school, and so I feel like that shared history
there made for such great on screen chemistry because they
have a history together, they know each other their friends,
Like I feel like that was like a safe space
for them to have that chemistry as characters.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Is it hard not to like go back to those
I mean, you have to go back to the feelings
you had when you had a crush on him.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Right, Yeah, And she's happily engaged in a relationship. But
it's like I think you can go back to that
and like, I think it's easier to play up like
you're not faking a crush on someone like you once
had it and you've been friends, like there's they've been
friends for like fourteen years, like there's a shared connection there.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
The only thing and problem I had with this movie
is it's partly said in Austin.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Texas, which oh yeah, that was like a fake setting.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
You were from. I lived there for seven years. They
did not portray Austin correctly that setting.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
One of the best parts of the movie is that
Esti hym is one of the music supervised. Oh yeah,
and the music in that film phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I think an underrated element that is probably expensive, but
having good songs at the right moments, like the perfect songs.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
There are what two Taylor Swift songs in this movie.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
They're not been three, might have been three. Yeah, that's expensive,
and I think that.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
You know asked, he was like, could I get the
BFF discount? Can I get the friendship?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Can I use promo code BFF.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
It's because I feel like studios don't want to pay
a lot to clear these songs, which is usually the
most expensive part or the unexpected expensive part of a
movie is getting a song cleared, and when a director
is putting together a movie, sometimes they just have a
song like place like as a placeholder, and they're like,
I would really love to get that song, but it's
(36:44):
so expensive, and oftentimes they have to go with a different,
cheaper song. But I feel like every song that was
included in this movie fit perfectly.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's like the Summer I Turn Pretty. They use a
lot of Taylor Swift. Jenny Hahn uses that music budget
a lot of Taylor Swift, and then they had Scott
Street a Phoebe Bridgers last year, so like that was listen.
She's in Songwriting Hall of Fame for a reason. Her
music goes to so many moments. It was like perfectly done.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
All right, my best For June, I'm gonna go with Tuoner,
Oh yeah, which was a movie we saw.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
That at the very beginning of the movie. I totally
forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
It was kind of crammed in there at the beginning
of the month. I feel like didn't get the promo
it deserved. But one that we just kind of saw
on a whim on a Sunday, where like, let's.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Let's go watch it. We saw the trailer.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
It look good.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
What the movie is about. It's about a guy who
works as a piano tuner. He has a condition where
essentially he is allergic to sounds, but makes him a
fantastic piano tuner. He was also like a prodigy at piano,
but due to his health issues, can't live out his
dream and you learn more about that in the movie.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
But then he discovers that because he's very sensitive to sounds.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
She was not even allergic to it, yes, but he's
sensitive to where like he can hear them mollest of
noises and it bothers him.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
So he wears like these really big headphones all the
time to kind of help protect his ears. But then
he discovers after his friend Dustin Hoffman in the movie,
who was like a ray of sunshine in this after
he has a bit of an accident, he discovers that
he can crack safes.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Because he can hear when you're turning.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Apparently there's like a latch where the mechanisms go past
each other and you can hear that if you listen
really really really really really carefully. And he's like hyper
sensitive to sound, so he could hear that so he
learns how to crack safes on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
You can learn anything on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
YouTube university, so he learns how to do that turns
to a life of crime but doing something good, and
then you have all the trials and tribulations that come
with that.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
You get a love interest, and he's balancing a new romance.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I love movies where it is good people doing bad things,
where you do.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
Love that because he is You're like wanting him to
get away with it.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, And I find this conflict within myself of I'm
rooting for him, but if I knew him in real life,
I'd be like, dude, that is a bad dude.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
That's like what was the movie or training Tatum lives
in the toys r Us Rufman Rufman, and you.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Like want him to get away with it.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's like they're criminals, but they're so charming and good
lugging that you're like, you wanted me to get away
with it.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
But that is also the power of good storytelling.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
If a movie can make you feel empathy for a
character who is doing rather awful and illegal things, that
is good storytelling.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
I love Leo Woodall.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I feel like in the past few years he has
done some incredible roles White Lotus, he did Prime on
Apple TV.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
He was in Nuremberg. Needed this. Yeah, I think he's
popping off right now. I think he's great.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
And he and Meghan Faye from also from White Lotus
and The Bold Type, they.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Make a great couple.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
This movie is perfect if you love thrillers, which is
up there in like my top three genres where the
only thing I would hold against this movie there's nothing
novel that happens. It is by the books kind of
a standard thriller, but it's done so well.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
But it's novel in that like the Price is. Yeah,
but as far as like the actual story, I don't
need everyone to rewrite.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, I don't know if something, if it's not broken,
don't fix it.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
It's not going to win an Oscar, but it won
my heart.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I think the actors made the movie like the performances
that we're stand out performances.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
And then we're walking out and who do we see?
Keith Urban going to watch a movie on a normal
Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
He was in front of us, and we did that
thing where we can just exchange a look when we
see someone famous, and we.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
Just kind of like look at each other and we're like,
did you clock that? Am I am? I seeing what
you're seeing?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
And then that's it held the door up and for us,
he was very under the radar, very under the radar,
which I wanted to ask him what he thought of it,
because it had like a musical element to it, it
had the action element to it.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Obviously he's a musician.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
I'm like, I just saw a TikTok the other day
that he apparently pulled up in his Rolls Royce to
a Jenny's.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Have you seen that one? And he was eating ice
cream in his Yeah, and he like gets.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
In his Rolls Royce, which it's very confusing because the
door's open weird in that, and I'm like, that's how
you know a car's fancy.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
The doors don't open the right way. I feel like
I'd be like, huh.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, they said he was eating ice cream in his
Rolls Royce for like thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
Yeah, what a life? What a life?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
But very nice he held the door open for him,
he did. I would have given Tuner a four out
of five. Thanks for listening to the Bobby cast.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Share this episode with a friend because they don't pay
to advertise US
Hey, everybody, another episode of In the Weeds. I'm going
to start with something that went kind of viral this
last week. I didn't expect it to and some folks
were angry, some folks weren't, but you always hear the
anger the loudest. And on the last episode, I was
talking about whenever I do an interview with someone and
they come in and there is a gift take in
(00:32):
the interview, meaning I've only got so much inventory here,
so much time on a show, and they want to
promote something, and so when they come in, I'll let
them promote what they're here to promote. That's why they
came in, and they are going to give me some
good content. That's why I'm having them on. And then
that's kind of the dance. And I talked about that,
(00:53):
and I said, I'm going to let you promote your
thing if I'm going to let you come in on
the show. And I had four or five artists that
got pretty pissed off about that, going, well, we don't
need to come in on your show. You're right, you
absolutely don't need to come in on my show. You don't.
(01:13):
Nobody needs me, nobody needs any one thing anymore. Is
what's crazy. Ten years ago, I would go, Yep, you
definitely need this show. You don't need any single entity
to promote something. Heck, you could almost need nothing if
you catch the algorithm a few times. And that wasn't
(01:34):
my point with that. My point was, if you're going
to come in and want to talk about your project,
don't just only talk about your project over and over again,
because my audience doesn't want to hear that. And I've
got to serve the people that are listening to me
through podcasts, through Netflix, through the radio show, whatever I'm in.
(01:54):
So that happened, and I had some artists to reach out.
One really big artist reached out was kind of pissed
off about it, meaning I said, oh, I don't need
your show. You're right, you don't need my show. I
completely agree, but if you do want to come in
on the show, it's fair for you to give me
if I'm going to give you. So that happened, But
what that was met with is what was crazy, because
(02:16):
I definitely thought it was kind of weird that some
artists reached out about that. So negatively, I started to
have people reach out that host pretty Big pot one two,
pretty Big podcasts, A couple guys that do radio shows.
One really famous sports writer hit me up and said
(02:36):
thank you for saying that. So it was a weird
week with that. I didn't expect that to go kind
of viral, and I did see too, Aaron Watson had
posted it, kind of reposted it. You know how you
do a duet and you keep it up on one
half and then you're on the other half. Sometimes you
say stuff and he was just like looking at it,
and he's always, you know, being funny, causing trouble. But
(03:00):
and I like Aaron. We had definitely got to a
fight a long time ago, but we're so over that.
He's been on the show multiple times. I enjoy the guy,
and I enjoy especially like what he does as an artist,
being independent, right, like the guy grinds. But I know
what he was doing. He was setting me up so
these other folks would be bashing me in his comments,
and boy did they. One person said that guy is
(03:20):
so overrated, and I really enjoyed that because that means
I'm rated high, and thank you. If I'm overrated, I'm
rated high. Thank you very much. Makes me so happy
that I'm overrated. People are rating me too high. That's
a weird thing that happened for the last episode, So
(03:40):
that's what's up. Artists got mad. Listeners and other people
that do podcasts and radio shows did not get mad.
Did not expect that to be a topic on Today's
in the Weeds. So if you've never seen the show before,
I talk about stuff that nobody should care about. This
is the show that's in the Weeds about my career,
the industry, the music industry, and I never would think
anyone would stream a single episode and who cares everything?
(04:04):
I'm gonna doing that after this? Who cares? Change it?
Change to go to the next YouTube video because this
is all gonna be so boring. Next up, what's the
hardest conversation you have ever had to have with an employee?
And I'm pulling these from the comments section of my
YouTube page. You guys are great at going and writing
comments there and I just copy and paste them over
(04:24):
for the next show, So thank you for doing that.
The hardest conversation that I think I've had to have
was with Amy, who is my co host, who was
on an episode a couple ago, and she was going
through a lot in her life. Her mom had died,
her dad was sick, she was going through she's now divorced.
(04:45):
There was a lot going on and I just had
to tell her she needed to go away and go
get herself right. And we do a show where we're
there and we're consistent five days a week. We do
a countdown on Saturday podcast. We want to be there
for you and whenever it's in your rhythm right that
(05:08):
that's my goal. When you're having your rhythm, I'm going
to be there for you so you can be entertained,
or you can learn, or you can do Because I
have podcasts that I do that with that if they're off,
I'm like, the whole day's messed up. So I want
to be that for you guys. And so even within
my show, I rarely miss. Something really crazy has to
(05:31):
happened for me to miss. But I don't think the
show members should live to that same standard. If I'm
not there, the show does not go on. Contractually, if
I'm not there, the show doesn't go or rerun runs
and I hate reruns. Even we go on vacation. We
create full new shows for you guys, because I know
what it's like. I am a consumer, so I know
(05:51):
when my when my show's out, and messages with my day.
So because of the expectation that I set, which is
show up on time every time, good attitude, work as
hard as a person next to you. I think it's
really hard for some people on the show to go, oh,
I should take a break, I should leave. And so
(06:13):
with Amy, it was you're going through a lot, I'll
see you in two months, I'll see you in three months.
And that was hard because I knew she might take
it in a way of oh, I'm not wanted here
or I'm not needed when it was precisely the opposite,
when it was a year so wanted here and so
needed here. I need you to get good for you,
(06:36):
because if you're not good for you, you're not good
for me. And that was a difficult conversation because I
had to make sure that she felt about it how
I felt about it, because it could have easily been
construed another way, especially because I don't miss I mean,
there are people that will come in on the show sick,
I don't. You should not come in. If you're sick,
(06:56):
you should not come in. If you have family drama,
you should not come in. If anything is in the way,
I need you to be the best version of you.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Do I live by that myself? No, because I kind
of can't. And it's what I signed up for. And
I'm okay with that now. If something's real bad, okay,
Like one of the crazier stories is I remember. And
by the way, this is me talking and I'm not bragging,
but it's me talking about how unhealthy I am about
(07:23):
this because I think all of mine comes from insecurity.
Meaning if I'm late, and I'm late over time, I
think that my job performance is going to go down.
And if it goes down because I'm late and I'm
not focused, I will then lose my job. And if
I lose my job, I will have no money and
I'll be back where I grew up. That's my constant fear,
(07:43):
has been my fear of my whole life. It's not rational,
but that does not mean that it's not real. And
so I'm there and all of my success is based
on being insecure. And so so if I'm sick, I
purposefully have my desk and tabled away from everybody else
(08:04):
in that room so I don't get them sick. And
if I can pick my feet up, I go in,
and I owe it to them to go in. I'm
the leader. It's not all. Everything's not the same. You
can look at a football team. Every player's not treated
the same. They shouldn't be treated the same. Everybody on
my show is not treated the same because people bring
different things to the show and also there are different personalities,
(08:28):
and so for me, as a leader, I got to
be there. I remember getting a call and this is
crazy because I don't think about this often. I remember
getting a call from my sister during my morning show,
and for someone to call me during the morning show
is a bit weird because anybody that knows me knows
from five am until around ten thirty or eleven, I'm
(08:51):
doing the show. So just text me unless something's wrong,
than call me. And my sister called and then it
went away, and then should call it again, And I
knew I'm my head immediately my mom died. I just
knew my mom wasn't sick. She'd had some trouble with
addiction over the years, and it had been recently had
some problem. She was just out of rehab, not having
(09:14):
completed it, but just had left it. But I knew
what she called the second time during the show that
my mom died. I remember answering the phone and in
my head, I said, I'm going to get some bad
news here. Whatever is said through that phone, I am
not going to let it affect me because I've got
to finish the show and I'm i going to say
anything to anybody else, and we're going to finish the
show and we'll talk about it later. And I picked
(09:34):
it up and my sister was crying and she goes, hey,
mom died. And I was like, I knew it. And
I was like, okay, oh no, and I wasn't like
that to her. I said, what happened? They said that
they found her in the trailer so and so founder
and I was like, so, you're like, what can I
(09:57):
do right now? She said nothing right now, We'll call
you later with whatever. I said, okay, great, just call
me as soon as you know, which was going to
be afternoon. I'd be out of work, hung it up,
went right back to the show and did the rest
of the show. And that's not a brag, that's a
that's unhealthy. It was unhealthy. It's probably unhealthy that I
(10:20):
hold myself to an unfair standard like that. Now, as
soon as the show is over, like eleven thirty or twelve.
I told him. I was like, my mom died, and
she was like, that's what that call was. I'm like yeah,
And so then I started crying and then I missed
a day of work. I wish I could tell me
back then to chill the f out, just like that
(10:41):
would be advice that I would give myself back then,
chill the f out. If you're sick or something bad happens,
it's okay to take a couple of days. But all
of my success has been heavily rooted in fear of failure.
And it's okay to fail, and I failed a lot,
but I don't want I don't want to fail. I've
(11:02):
written books on failure, and I don't think failing's not fun.
Sometimes people go, oh, you're the guy that likes to fail.
You're the person that likes to have diarrhea. No, you,
nobody likes to have it. I don't want to have it,
but I've had it so many times. I know that
it's going to happen, and I'm probably going to get
better because of it once the pain of it goes away.
(11:23):
Like my biggest fear is failing and not learning anything
from it. My biggest fear is not failing. Other than
that one hundred times, I'll do that one hundred more.
The fear is when I do fail, I get nothing
from it and I'm the same person. That's a fear.
And the hardest conversation I had was to tell somebody
(11:44):
the opposite of what I did, which was, you need
to go away for a long time because I need
you to be you. You don't need to do this
right now. So it's a long answer to that question,
but that was it. That's the hardest one because I
needed her to know she was valued and loved, and
she also needed to leave for a long time, and
(12:04):
those that juxtaposition doesn't feel linear at all. All right.
Other questions, if someone secretly filmed your average Tuesday, what
would surprise people? I don't know if anyone will be surprised.
But I'm actually recording this on a Tuesday, so I
can tell you what the day is like today. I
(12:26):
woke up at four point fifteen this morning. As soon
as I wake up, there's no shower, there's no slow stroll.
It's like this, oh God, And then I just start
hammering away to get everything done, I get to work.
I do the actual live show until around nine thirty AM.
It goes on until ten, but some of our East
(12:47):
Coast affiliates check out, so because it's ten thirty on
the East Coast. So we then we go live for
an hour on YouTube. After we've done the show and recording.
I do all that stuff at the studio until around
twelve thirty twelve forty five. I've started to have to
bring a little bit of lunch with me. I never
would do that. I have to bring my lunch, but
(13:08):
I'm bringing something to eat to work guy now, especially
on Monday and Tuesday, because I will go from where
we do the iHeart work to here where we shoot
the NFL Show and the Netflix shows. It's some studios
that we built here myself. I didn't build it, but
they're mine. I own them. I mean Dylan and Brandon
(13:30):
and Reid built them. It doesn't matter regardless. I come
here on a Tuesday. After I finish that, I leave
there about twelve forty I get here at one. From
one to two, I do the NFL Show with Matt Castle.
As soon as that's over, I will hop into this,
which is some sort of hour recording. I'm recording in
(13:51):
the weeds today, which is what we're doing. After this,
I will go to therapy. So I'll do this until
about three. I'll get to therapy at three thirty, three
thirty to four thirty. I get home around four forty five.
I will work out from four forty five until five thirty,
only forty five minutes because the baby's bath is a
five forty five and I got fifteen minutes to do
a shower to make sure the baby can get a bath,
(14:12):
and I'm in there. I'm half the hands in the
baby bath. Then i start working on the next day
shows because I've got a bobbycast tomorrow and the radio show.
Just it's all that. So if you ask me a Tuesday,
that's what a Tuesday is. But I'm not whining about it.
I enjoy it. I just wish my eating was a
little better. On a Tuesday, I have to find little holes.
(14:33):
If you ask me on a Thursday, it's a little
a little easier. I like to get ahead on Monday
and Tuesday, especially because if something happened, when I get
sick or something, I can't do a show on Thursday
or Friday. This is me being a neurotic. I like
to have enough done that I have that leeway. At
what point in money stop motivating you day to day?
And that's a great question. The answer is it literally
(14:55):
never has one time in my life motivated me day
to day, and I think if I had any money
it'd be different. Growing up, I feel extremely blessed at
this point in my life that I was so poor
growing up, And that is a weird thing to say,
but I was never motivated by money because I never
had money. I never needed to maintain anything. It was
(15:17):
all up up from here. So for me, it is awesome.
If I can have a job I love, that's all
that mattered. If I could pay the bills and have
a job I love, that's all that mattered. Now did
I think I was going to be successful. Absolutely, You've
got to be crazy to have to do a job
like this. But money has motivated me none day to
(15:41):
day because you would think earlier on when you had less,
it would more never, and then when I got more never,
it just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Do I have more now than before, of course, but
I don't think that I've ever worked harder than I
do now, at least consistent hours. I don't travel as much,
mostly because we do the show on Netflix, and I
do two sports podcasts and the Bible. There's a lot, right,
but it's awesome, like I couldn't and I have a
great team, and so I'm not saying, look at me,
(16:15):
look how hard I work. I'm saying, man, I'm so
fortunate to get to work this hard and never been
motivated by money. Not motivated by money now at all.
But that's probably because I have it. Wiseman once said,
having money is not everything. Not having it is true.
Words have never been spoken. That's a hip hop first.
(16:41):
You probably look that one up.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Hank Tight The Bobby Cast will be right back, and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Is it ever weird with people that you talk about
if you see them in public. I don't leave my
house a lot, so I usually don't see folks in public.
If I purposefully don't pursue going to something industry related
and I go to nothing industry related. At first, I
(17:20):
just didn't want to go because honestly, I didn't want
to have to be fake friends with people, or be
mid friends with people, and then have commentary about something
they're doing. Professionally because I felt like i'd pull punches,
like I really liked the person and they did something stupid,
illegal song kind of sucked. I decided I didn't want
(17:44):
to have to make that decision. I just wanted to
be true to the feelings I had, and so at
first I just really tried to become friends with nobody
in the industry. What's crazy is there's a lot of
great people here in this town, and so some people
that I think, I thought I shouldn't be friends with
(18:05):
them because I don't want to have industry friends. There's
awesome people, and I have friends that are amazing, that
are artists, that are famous artists, that are record label people.
I'd never wanted to But is it awkward if I
see him in the public. I can give you an example.
I a few weeks ago was saying some things. I
(18:27):
was doing some commentary on a a certain There's something
musical that happened that I thought kind of sucked, and
so I talked about it. Now it wasn't personal, and
then I saw the head of the label of the person,
(18:50):
and he was cold to me. And honestly, it's such
wrestling to me. I meaning when I'm on the air
and I'm talking about that stuff. It is not personal.
I forget about it when I leave. It's I do
feel that way, but it's faking that. I don't go
home thinking about it. I'm entertaining. So it's such wrestling
to me that when I saw this person that's ahead
(19:10):
of that label, I thought nothing of it, and I
was like, what's up, Hey, man, I rarely see anybody.
I like, great to see you. He's very cold to me,
and I couldn't figure out why. But he was so
cold that I thought something was up, and I said,
what have I done any And then I remember what
I said about said music, and I was like, oh,
(19:32):
he's pissed about that. But none of that stuff's ever
personal to me, but it can be to other people.
I get it, and you know what, maybe he should
have been cold to me, But yes, that can be awkward,
but for the most part, it's fine. I don't see
many people. Would you say most artists that we know
are good people are bad people? Well, that is a
(19:54):
weird question. I would say it's very much like people
you know in real life, Like I would put him
in that ratio because they're I'm not gonna say normal
because they have an abnormal job. But there are some
very famous artists that are the greatest people and that
with their whole heart. They lead, they give, they help,
(20:19):
they're humble. There are some that I look at and
I aspire to be more like because it's not a facade,
and sometimes they don't even put it out there at
all that they are that type of person. So, yes,
there's that. But there are also artists that are wildly famous, revered,
people love, and they are scum. And what's weird about
(20:42):
that is it's hard for me to look at any
article about them or Instagram about them and see all
the comments worshiping so and so, and I know in
real life what kind of person they are and how
they treat other people. So I'm not saying that the
whole industry is that at all, because there are probably
more A version A great than B. But there are
(21:06):
some that are so famous and they are bottom dwellers.
You get money or fame, it just makes you more
of who you were or who you really are. I
think it's what they say, if you give somebody a
bunch of money your fame, it just makes you more
of what you really are, and sometimes it is awesome
to see. And sometimes, man, there's one super famous artist
(21:28):
that is the worst. I'm talking about a bully treats
people bad. It doesn't matter. I don't want to. I'll
say something and you'll figure I don't because it doesn't
matter who it is. But for the most part, thumbs up.
For the most part, people are just normal anyway. I'm
not even gonna say like, they're not all the Pope
and they're not all Damien, but there are on both sides.
(21:49):
But there are a few. They are way, way, way
famous that people worship and they are garbage cans. It's crazy,
all right. Moving on, how are you doing on reading
comments only on Tuesdays? For the most part, that's what
I'm doing every once in a while because I do
giving Tuesday on my radio show, and I was doing
(22:10):
that to combat the negativity of my DMS generally speaking,
and so I find people that need help and I
help them. That's what's up. It was for me a
selfish mental health exercise to make me feel better on
social media. So I need something, I got, I'm av
in mom some money, and so that's been going for
about two and a half months now, and I like it.
(22:31):
It makes me feel good. Therefore it is it is selfish.
Now I'm doing something for other people, and that's cool.
But yeah, it's a selfish thing because I'm doing it
because it makes me feel good. But do I love
that I can help people? Absolutely? I needed help, so
I do that a lot. So I will sometimes get
in late Monday evenings and look at that, but comments
for the most part only on Tuesdays. I can tell
(22:53):
you I did this podcast called Human School and the
guys that does the podcast his name is Miles, and
I know Miles a little bit, and we did it.
We recorded a couple months ago. I started to wonder
if it was ever coming out, and it finally came out.
And I when I'm a guest on something, it's hard
(23:14):
for me to go and look and see what people
are saying about me because I know I'm just just
gonna eat me up because I want my page. And
I went over and there were so many nice things
said about me. A little bit. It felt so foreign,
but it made me feel so good. And I was
so appreciative to anybody who commented anything nice about me,
because my expectation is not that my expectation is that
(23:35):
everybody hates me. If I get online, if I'm reading
something about me, I feel like everybody hates me. Now
that's my irrational brain talking. Because it my rational brain,
that other side goes that can't be true because you
have a very successful career talking to people about things
(23:57):
that you like, don't like, things that are funny, things
that are said, you help people, You have a large audience.
If people didn't like you, you wouldn't have a large audience.
So the irrational brain can a little bit combat the
irrational brain. But the irrational brain is that I'm so
disliked because all I see is being disliked because most people,
(24:22):
if they like something, don't write about it. And I'll go, hey,
this is great. How many times you go to a
restaurant it's awesome and then you go do a review
and it's like, hey, really good stuff there, love the pizza.
Almost never, unless like that's your thing reviewing, you never
do that. I wish I did more of that. I
don't do that. I wish I did more of writing
thank you notes. I'm stupid. I don't do that. Always
go I get a thank you note from someone and
I go, dang, this is so nice. I got a
thank you note. I'm gonna be a guy that writes
(24:44):
thank you notes now and then I lay it down
and I never even think about it again until I
get another thank you note. Then I'm like, I got
this thank you note, I should be thank you. No guy,
I'm gonna do it. Thank you No. I lay it
down and think about it. I get another thank you note,
and then it's rinse and repeat. So Tuesdays are for
the comments late Monday night sometimes when I'm doing Giving Tuesday.
(25:04):
But that this is not a promo for that podcast.
You can listen to it. It's not my podcast. But
I did guest on Human School and the comments were
so nice that it made me feel really good and
I appreciate, appreciated that. Have you ever had to edit
things out because of the company. I give you one
and a half examples. On my NFL show, we had
(25:27):
pac Man Jones on. He got in a lot of
trouble in the NFL, but he was a really good
defensive back. But he came in with Matt Castle and
I on my show called Lots to say a plus
plus guest I'm talking about. He was saying self that
even I was going, is he really saying? I believe him?
But it's he even in say they would smoke what
(25:47):
right before I get I mean, it was crazy. He
was such a great guest. The differences on that show,
I don't own it, like I'm that's I worked for
the NFL. Well in that show, I am a one
hundred percent hired employee, So I don't have any final cut,
say if they want it now. They've never edited anything before,
(26:11):
but that one they got and they said we have
to edit like twenty five percent of this out, And
I said, I get it. It was awesome, but I
got it. I understood why. But so that would be one.
There was another one. I'm not going to mention who.
But I was talking about some stuff on the air
and a literal artist called my CEO to complain, what's
(26:36):
wrong with you? A literal artist called my ceo to
complain about what I was saying about. It wasn't anything personal.
And so I get a call from somebody in corporate going, hey,
this happened. What do you think. I was like, I
just deleted it. I don't give a crap, Like I'm
(26:56):
not fighting to free hostages here, but this artist, big
artist called my boss, big boss to go. You know,
oh luck, we need said and take it down. We
took it down, Woissie. You don't know who it is.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
And it may not even been in the last six
months or so because I like to time shift everything
just in case. Thank you for all the comments. I
got it, man, I have a few more here. Is
there any show drama within the room that doesn't make
the air, Yes, and most of the time I don't
know about it. Any group dynamic with people that are close,
(27:40):
there's going to be drama. You're talking about We've been
together twenty years and then other new people are in,
and you know, we got eight or nine people that
do all kinds of stuff from the countdown to the
night show, to the morning show, to podcast to at commercial.
Like there's a reason we all those people work there. Specifically,
there's one thing that people don't know I know about.
(28:02):
I don't want them to know that I know about
it because it is so dramatic within that unit of
my morning show that I don't want to be involved.
I don't want to be in anybody's drama. I myself
am not a drama queen too. I don't need to
know the drama. I hate tea. That's why I'd be terrible.
I'd be a terrible English person. I don't want your tea.
(28:25):
And so, yes, there's this one thing that happened a
while ago and it was thought. I never knew about it,
and it was significant and it went away, and I
know that it's back. But I never knew about it
the first time, so I can't know about it the
second time. But yeah, I know all about it, but
I don't want to talk about it to them, because
(28:46):
don't I don't want everybody to know I know. But yes,
it's also just a general group dynamic. Sure there are
issues to just anybody at work working together. You're gonna
have issues with people, But for the most part, no,
because I don't allow anything to affect the show. Anybody
comes in. If a single person is toxic to the
actual breath of the show, they're out immediately, goodbye, thank
(29:10):
you for your time serving. But you can't affect everybody
else trying to do their job in a positive way.
So for the most part, we have a very good culture.
I like to think I set a good culture. So
that's what's up? I should have been saying who these
are from? At Sea Buck two thousand, I remember reading
that you syndicated your show yourself. What does that mean?
(29:30):
When I was in Austin, Texas and I was doing mornings,
and I was just in Austin, Texas, I went to
a radio convention and I saw a little booth for
something called a com Rex. And the com Rex was
a little box. This is at the time that you
could do remote broadcasts from. So you go to a
mattress store, Hey, come on by, I'm crazy Bobby, and
(29:52):
the next six people to come by. You get free
movie passes and a meanie baby, and so you do
that kind of stuff. I'd go and do live event,
live remotes, and I thought, well, if the comrax can
go that far, like, how far can we stretch it?
Because I thought maybe I could get another affiliate in
a town close. And what I learned was you could
stretch the crap out of this thing, and you could
you could do one on the other. So I got
(30:14):
a com Rex signal, paid for two boxes. There were
two thousand dollars each, my own money, and I would
call stations and say, I will syndicate I'll do my
show on your station for free. I'll even pay for
the phone lines. I'll do everything for free. And I
got the boxes here you do nothing. And the first
city to ever say yes was Wichita, Kansas, and I
put two com Rex boxes together. It shot all the
(30:35):
way to Wichita, Kansas basically phone and we did our
show on there and we won. And so then Amarillo
and Lubbock were next. We were in Austin and I
bought two more com Rex boxes because just in one
each I had like nine comeracks. It's like smoking you
in the room. Just so we didn't have an engineer.
My company never said don't do it, but they didn't
know I was syndicating my show. But they were like,
(30:56):
you just I was twenty four years old in Austin.
They didn't know what was going on. They didn't care
what was going on because I wasn't in New York
or LA. They were just like, do your thing. It's cute.
You got a couple of boxes to do remotes from.
So yeah. At one point I had eight or nine
Comerx boxes and we were on in like twenty eight cities.
It was patched together by hangers and tape, not literally
(31:19):
but figuratively, and I didn't. I guess I didn't have
an engineer. But Elena, who was an intern later became
my executive producer. She had to learn how to engineer
all that crap, and so did I, and we would
do it and it was awesome. No, it was terrible
at the time, but it was awesome looking back at
it because how we were able to do that. I
think at one year, I made fifty thousand dollars is
(31:41):
my salary, and I spent thirty eight thousand dollars on equipment,
so I made twelve thousand dollars and if you take
taxes out, not even that. Man, those are the good
old days, though, I'm telling you, those are a good
fricking old days. So thank you for all your questions.
I have so many more. But I got ah because
my wife's car broke down and I gotta go pick
(32:02):
it up. And I just got a text going, hey,
you gotta go or can you please come? And so
she's back home, her car broke down. I gotta go
and meet somebody and we're gonna go probably tow it
or jump it or something. I don't know. But thank
you for watching in the Weeds. Please put a comment
down below if you enjoy the show. If you're listening
on podcasts, put a comment in the what depends on
what you're listening on. On Spotify, they have comments, and
(32:24):
I'll go through and I'll find it. I'll copy and
we'll do this again next week. And also check out
our show called Hosts, where I bring on other hosts.
It's also very boring. We do boring shows here for
some reason. You guys are streaming them, so you keep
streaming them. I'll keep being boring. Stay weedy, everybody. I
(32:44):
said that last time, and then I thought I'll never
say that again, and then people re quoted me. I
ought to go and stay weedy. Stay weedy, everybody. All right,
We're in the Weeds.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Bye, everybody, hang ty the Bobby Cast. We'll be right
back and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I want to play one of the podcasts here on
the old Nashville podcast Network. This is from movie Mike's
movie podcast, where he breaks down all the best and
worst new movies he watched for the whole month. And
he does this a lot to let you know what
movies to watch and what movies not to waste your
time on. Check out movie Mike's movie podcast. But here
it is what was the best movie in your opinion?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
For June it is going to be on streaming and
that is voicemails for Isabella Netflix.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I talk about movies that made me emotional. That movie
kicks you right in the gonads.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
It's so good. What is a movie about?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Okay, so it is about. This isn't a spoiler in
the trailer. It's in the trailer. Uh, there's a girl
who she is leaving voicemails for her late sister, like
just calling and like trying to stay in touch. And
then I gonna be thet way. But there's a guy
and a bit of romance. That's all you need to know.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And a lot of emotions. I think she is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
She is the rom com queen and it is a
rom com. There are some heavier moments, but it is
overarchingly a rom com.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Netflix like getting back to putting out really good rom coms.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
They are. I think that's where they put out two
this month. We'll talk about the other one. It's not
my best.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Oh yeah, they should specialize in that because I feel
like rom coms, especially like this, are hard to sell
tickets to, but it doesn't mean we don't want these stories,
which I want.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
The rom coms take me back to the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Which I think this is a great It kind of
has some elements of the early two thousands but feels
very fresh and modern and something that I didn't really
know I needed. And there were moments that very early
on they were able to establish a connection between these
characters and you feel for them instantly, which is really
hard to do.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
I think it helps.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So it's Zoey deutschen Nick Robinson are the leads, and
they have known each other since high school.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Great, she used to have a crush on him in.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
High school, and so I feel like that shared history
there made for such great on screen chemistry because they
have a history together, they know each other their friends,
Like I feel like that was like a safe space
for them to have that chemistry as characters.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Is it hard not to like go back to those
I mean, you have to go back to the feelings
you had when you had a crush on him.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Right, Yeah, And she's happily engaged in a relationship. But
it's like I think you can go back to that
and like, I think it's easier to play up like
you're not faking a crush on someone like you once
had it and you've been friends, like there's they've been
friends for like fourteen years, like there's a shared connection there.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
The only thing and problem I had with this movie
is it's partly said in Austin.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Texas, which oh yeah, that was like a fake setting.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
You were from. I lived there for seven years. They
did not portray Austin correctly that setting.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
One of the best parts of the movie is that
Esti hym is one of the music supervised. Oh yeah,
and the music in that film phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I think an underrated element that is probably expensive, but
having good songs at the right moments, like the perfect songs.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
There are what two Taylor Swift songs in this movie.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
They're not been three, might have been three. Yeah, that's expensive,
and I think that.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
You know asked, he was like, could I get the
BFF discount? Can I get the friendship?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Can I use promo code BFF.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
It's because I feel like studios don't want to pay
a lot to clear these songs, which is usually the
most expensive part or the unexpected expensive part of a
movie is getting a song cleared, and when a director
is putting together a movie, sometimes they just have a
song like place like as a placeholder, and they're like,
I would really love to get that song, but it's
(36:44):
so expensive, and oftentimes they have to go with a different,
cheaper song. But I feel like every song that was
included in this movie fit perfectly.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's like the Summer I Turn Pretty. They use a
lot of Taylor Swift. Jenny Hahn uses that music budget
a lot of Taylor Swift, and then they had Scott
Street a Phoebe Bridgers last year, so like that was listen.
She's in Songwriting Hall of Fame for a reason. Her
music goes to so many moments. It was like perfectly done.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
All right, my best For June, I'm gonna go with Tuoner,
Oh yeah, which was a movie we saw.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
That at the very beginning of the movie. I totally
forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
It was kind of crammed in there at the beginning
of the month. I feel like didn't get the promo
it deserved. But one that we just kind of saw
on a whim on a Sunday, where like, let's.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Let's go watch it. We saw the trailer.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
It look good.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
What the movie is about. It's about a guy who
works as a piano tuner. He has a condition where
essentially he is allergic to sounds, but makes him a
fantastic piano tuner. He was also like a prodigy at piano,
but due to his health issues, can't live out his
dream and you learn more about that in the movie.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
But then he discovers that because he's very sensitive to sounds.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
She was not even allergic to it, yes, but he's
sensitive to where like he can hear them mollest of
noises and it bothers him.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
So he wears like these really big headphones all the
time to kind of help protect his ears. But then
he discovers after his friend Dustin Hoffman in the movie,
who was like a ray of sunshine in this after
he has a bit of an accident, he discovers that
he can crack safes.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Because he can hear when you're turning.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Apparently there's like a latch where the mechanisms go past
each other and you can hear that if you listen
really really really really really carefully. And he's like hyper
sensitive to sound, so he could hear that so he
learns how to crack safes on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
You can learn anything on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
YouTube university, so he learns how to do that turns
to a life of crime but doing something good, and
then you have all the trials and tribulations that come
with that.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
You get a love interest, and he's balancing a new romance.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I love movies where it is good people doing bad things,
where you do.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
Love that because he is You're like wanting him to
get away with it.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, And I find this conflict within myself of I'm
rooting for him, but if I knew him in real life,
I'd be like, dude, that is a bad dude.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
That's like what was the movie or training Tatum lives
in the toys r Us Rufman Rufman, and you.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
Like want him to get away with it.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's like they're criminals, but they're so charming and good
lugging that you're like, you wanted me to get away
with it.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
But that is also the power of good storytelling.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
If a movie can make you feel empathy for a
character who is doing rather awful and illegal things, that
is good storytelling.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
I love Leo Woodall.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I feel like in the past few years he has
done some incredible roles White Lotus, he did Prime on
Apple TV.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
He was in Nuremberg. Needed this. Yeah, I think he's
popping off right now. I think he's great.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
And he and Meghan Faye from also from White Lotus
and The Bold Type, they.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Make a great couple.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
This movie is perfect if you love thrillers, which is
up there in like my top three genres where the
only thing I would hold against this movie there's nothing
novel that happens. It is by the books kind of
a standard thriller, but it's done so well.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
But it's novel in that like the Price is. Yeah,
but as far as like the actual story, I don't
need everyone to rewrite.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, I don't know if something, if it's not broken,
don't fix it.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
It's not going to win an Oscar, but it won
my heart.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I think the actors made the movie like the performances
that we're stand out performances.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
And then we're walking out and who do we see?
Keith Urban going to watch a movie on a normal
Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
He was in front of us, and we did that
thing where we can just exchange a look when we
see someone famous, and we.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
Just kind of like look at each other and we're like,
did you clock that? Am I am? I seeing what
you're seeing?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
And then that's it held the door up and for us,
he was very under the radar, very under the radar,
which I wanted to ask him what he thought of it,
because it had like a musical element to it, it
had the action element to it.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Obviously he's a musician.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
I'm like, I just saw a TikTok the other day
that he apparently pulled up in his Rolls Royce to
a Jenny's.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Have you seen that one? And he was eating ice
cream in his Yeah, and he like gets.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
In his Rolls Royce, which it's very confusing because the
door's open weird in that, and I'm like, that's how
you know a car's fancy.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
The doors don't open the right way. I feel like
I'd be like, huh.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, they said he was eating ice cream in his
Rolls Royce for like thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
Yeah, what a life? What a life?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
But very nice he held the door open for him,
he did. I would have given Tuner a four out
of five. Thanks for listening to the Bobby cast.
