Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's devastating to see what the people of Louisiana and
surrounding areas are dealing with right now in the wake
of Hurricane Laura. It's Amy from the Bobbybones Show here
and just wanted to let you know that you can
help out by going to Bobbybones dot com and if
you want to purchase a Pimp and Joy item from
there or a Louisiana Strong shirt that the Shot Forward
(00:20):
put up, we have those linked again at Bobby Bones
dot com. And if you're curious about what Pimp and
Joy is, maybe you're a new listener. It started years
ago as a movement when my mom was battling cancer
and it's definitely based on a positive message of choosing
joy when you're going through a hard time and spreading
joy to others. So anytime you buy a Pimp and
(00:41):
Joy item, it goes directly to spreading joy to those
that need it. And right now Louisiana needs our help,
so Bobbybones dot com for that. So Bobby Bones post
show pre show like to say thank you everybody that
has put up with my scratchy voice in the the past
few days, like it done a good job making sure
(01:02):
that it stays, Okay, not the best. But you know,
we didn't do a post show yesterday at all. I'm
just trying to save it so I can get onto
the radio show. So I just appreciate you guys. I'm
not pushing myself too hard. You know. Um, I got
a couple of things we're gonna do in the post show.
We'll keep it short today just because I'm gonna blow

give him morning. He just never done mornings. And I
was like, inside, I was like all right. Outside, I
was like, so stupid. I can do it, I can
do anything. But uh yeah, Inside I was like, yeah,
they shouldn't give a multimillion dollars station into some idiot

country song that year is Brooks and Done Red Dirt
Road Jam. The biggest pop song is in the Club
Its Descent. We played this every ten seconds in your show. Yeah,
(02:27):
and the biggest thing in pop culture. And Madonna shared
a kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and so
in the middle of that, Madonna brushed a piece of
hair from Britney's face and kissed her. Right after the kiss,
the camera immediately panted, justin Timberlake. But what people forget
is she didn't Christina aguilaight too. And that wasn't the
news story. It was just herming Britney because Britney was
a bigger deal then, right, Number one Award shows were cool.
(02:49):
We wait for him, watch them all the time. Now
we don't give buck cr ap. Oh one other thing
I wanted to play And I haven't heard this. I
purposely not listening because I know I'll cringe. This could
be cringe. Mike is a cringeworthy What is it? So?
Mike d found an old clip of me from ten
years ago. Oh boy, so a flashback Friday personal me
(03:11):
singing Billionaire with Bruno Mars. So a Billionaire Travie McCoy
featuring Bruno marsum I was going through an old hard
drive Mic wrote and found some old interviews and performances
from back in the day. This one was pretty cool.
Twenty ten, Bruno Mars had stopped by. He was Stole,
a new artist who was mostly known for his features
on Nothing On You by Bob and Billionaire with Trivy McCoy.
(03:33):
Here's Bruno Mars. Oh god, come on, I want to
hear this. Here's Bruno Mars doing the singing part and
I come in on the rap. Don't want to play.
I know I remember this, just really I just went
with something so I don't know how bad I'm already
sticking up for myself ten years ago because I know
this is gonna be terrible. Do I want the whole

see my name in shiny that Yeah, a different city
every night. Oh why I swear the world bets April
(04:39):
when now I'm a feeling. Now I would have a
show like Oprah. I would beat the host every day Christmas.
Give Bobby a wish list, I probably pull it out
Angelina and wrap it, adopt a bunch of babies that
they never had, giveaway of Mercedes, like, hey, lady, have
this and last, but my least, grab somebody they last wish.
(04:59):

I do more than FEMA did. Can't forget about me,
stupid everywhere. Okay, take it, Bruno, thank you. Hey, that
was awesome, so good. The things are stuck out to me. One.
(05:21):
I was really trying to mimic Traviy McCoy with my
my ya that thing too. I said the D word.
I don't haven't cursed in years. It's always weird to
hear me curse back in the day man in old days.
And also the big thing is Bruno Mars is so good,
so god amazing, it's so good. Huh when's he gonna

Mike d has Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. We'll see you guys.
Letter by everybody, Here we go what's up, studio, Good morning, studio,
(06:26):
Thank you. I stayed up all night last night just
dealing with this sinus thing. But I feel like I
want to I'm on the track back. I want to
track back. Baby good. Also, I talk like this round
the house and I'm not sick at all. It's just
once a year this thing gets me. And I take
every medicine in the world. I wake up, take three
allergy pills and take just non stuff like a medicine
(06:47):
cabin every day. But um, yeah, hopefully I got a
steroid shot. Maybe that helped you. When you have a
friend who's a nurse that helps Yeah, I was like, hey, dude,
and he got a little IV got a steroid shot.
I know. I'm pretty lucky to have a friend that's
a nurse that can do that. Not everybody does, but
definitely count them blessing on that one. But if I'm
performing in the city, if I'm doing stand up and
(07:09):
I have this, I'll find like a minute clinic. They'll
pop you with the steroid shot. You feel great for
about four hours, and then you just want to rip
your guts out the rest of the night because it's
such a sinker. So yeah, that's me. Last night I
watched the final night of the Republican National Convention. I
watched every night of both of them. I feel about that.
(07:30):
That's pretty Awesome's takeaway. That's a great question. What's my takeaway?
I feel like I'm suffering an existential crisis with myself
right now that I don't. I watch them both and
I'm like, yeah, to some of it, that's it. I can't.
I'm just not what I guess everybody is where you
(07:51):
just take yourself and firmly put yourself in aside and
dig in and go, we're here, you're not, you suck. Yeah,
it drives me crazy. So but that's what I found
that I'm not normal because I watch and there things. Listen,
I'm I'm for a smaller government, but then again, I
was on food stamps and welfare as a kid. You know. Um,
(08:14):
I am for guns Second Amendment, got guns at my house. However,
I think it should be a little harder to get one,
and so I just kind of walked down these I
love our law enforcement, but if you don't think there
are problems right now, you're out of your freaking mind. So,
but you almost can't have that opinion, because when you
get yelled at by both sides and that sucks, well,
(08:35):
that's what people spend the majority of their time doing
and then it just the bashing and the not. Just
feel like it would be so much more productive if
people thought that way. And trust me, I I for years,
just because it's how I grew up. I was a
very very narrow minded voter just because this was the
(08:57):
party I registered as, and so that's what I had
to vote for. You can say which one I don't think. Oh,
I'm a registered Republican, right, but I don't feel that
attached to it that it defines me as a person
and that means I have to agree with every single person,
or that I have to support candidates on the Republican ballot.
Like that just doesn't have to happen. And once you
(09:19):
give yourself that permission to like think other things, then
I mean, you just feel better. And I just feel
like sometimes people are just so stuck in their party
lane that they have blinders on. And I've been there
so just and I'm talking to all the politicians right now,
all the ones that are listening because they're all up early.
(09:40):
You know, take your blinders off. Well, they have to
act away to get the money they need. I know,
because they're getting money from people with blinders on. So
I'm also talking to people with money. Yeah, you'ah, good
luck with that. And people with money just want their
ideas pushed along. They're basically paying the ideas pushed. Yeah.
So there's just a lot. But I watch both both
and then I was like, let me draw my conclusion
and as to where I feel. And I just feel
(10:02):
like I'm not like everybody else. I just feel like
everybody most folks are on a side and they hate
the other side. And I can't make myself do that.
There are crazy racial issues in this country. Again, I
don't take the show and go down this road a lot,
but that's why. That's why I did. I got at
a cold and I watched both conventions and I finished
going I don't know what. I don't know what the
crabs going on with me, And when I run in Arkansas,
(10:24):
I don't know what I'm gonna do. I can literally
go one of three ways. I could be a progressive,
Republican conservative, moderate Democrat, or an independent. But you have
no money there, it's hard to get somebody to back you.
So if any of the Waltons are listening, any of them,
maybe you have someone Can I start to go fund
(10:44):
me now for my campaign if I do run. That's
getting a little testy around work too incorporate. Well, so
where are you with that? We're gonna see what happens
a selection. You know, I think how this maybe not
so much who wins, but I think how this election
happens from what happens in it, because this is something
we've never seen before. We're about to have mail and ballots,
(11:08):
which there's our completely legit. We're gonna have people not
wanting to vote because of the pandemic. We're gonna have
who knows what's gonna happen with the results afterward. So
I think a lot of that will depend on that
you're running. Yeah, you're running for in leaving this show
in twenty twenty one to go run. Okay, but I'm
thirty percent. So people ask me all the time for
(11:29):
me to check the temperature with an Instagram poll. No,
see who would get out and vote? Well, it's only
people in Arkansas. You know. I have followers from Arkansas.
We have we do have followers. But so that's what
I did we did that. I went to Amy's house though,
dropped her son's birthday gift off, took him a PlayStation four,
(11:50):
gave him one for his birthday. Oh yeah, is he is?
He gonna play with us now? Yeah? But he didn't
really care. Okay, no he did. He told me when
you care, That's what I told Ben, your husband. I
was like, he wasn't appreach it then, Yeah, but once
he plays, he's gonna be like, this is the greatest
thing ever. Yeah he didn't. I said, what I know?
He was so excited to get a gaming console because
that's what he wanted. And I asked him when you left,
(12:12):
I was like, why were you more excited? He goes,
it's embarrassing. Something about him is like shifting to where
he feels like how used to act is embarrassing. And
I'm like, that's not embarrassing to be excited because someone
bought you an amazing gift. But he does love it. Yeah,
he'll love it. I didn't have to love it now,
but he will love it. So the song that's the
(12:37):
all time worst again stuck in your head. I have
a list here four, three, two, one, Freddie and number five.
On the song that gets stuck in my head all
the time. If I hear it once, I can't stop
singing it. It's a newer one fgl meant to be

his pocket. Wow. That's very nice. Wow, pretty cool. Number four. Eddie,

the Breaking Bad Team was offered seventy five million dollars
to produce three more episodes after the final season, which
was estivated to be more than their earnings in five
whole years, but the team refused, saying that the final
episodes didn't accommodate additional installments. Did you guys ever watched

to recover his nephew's arm that had been bitten off,
and doctors managed to successfully reattach it dank. He went
it for the nephew. That's pretty amazing, son. For sure,
(17:57):
I would think, Okay, nephew, you go figure about it
for a little bit. Which is any arm, son or nephew.
I'd be like, oh man, that's too bad. The shark
got it. What about Stranger? That's awesome and that they
can reattach It's crazy. Yeah, that's the best part, all right.

That's your skinny hat. It's time for the good news lunchbox.
There was a woman in Utah. She was doing some
repelling down a mountain when all of a sudden, her
(19:56):
hair got tangled in her gear. So she's just hanging
there from the gate like the ropes with their hair. Luckily,
the football team from Dixie State University was there repelling
also and the football players. Some went down to the
bottom of the cliff just in case she fell. Other
ones grabbed her rope and for forty five minutes pulled
her up by their hands. By their hands, hold the
(20:16):
rope up. Wow, I thought she was scared to death.
Great story, that's what it's all about. That was tell
me something good. Sorry, yep. Today this story comes up
from Marathon, Iowa. A thirty two year old man stole
a pickup truck and police were trying to figure out
where he was and they checked GPS on Star and
(20:38):
they locate him. As they're approaching the suspect, they hit
the button to shut down the car, just like bait car.
And he's like, oh no, I gotta get out of
here because the door won't unlock. So he jumps out
of the window of the moving truck and he runs
over his own legs. Oh, he didn't jump far enough
out He landed in the truck was still moving, and
(20:59):
so happened to him. He went to the hospital. No,
no broken bones, but he was arrested. I'm lunchboxed at
your bone head store of the day. All right, my
former stepdad Arkansas Keith is Oh, he's hey, we're doing
you ordering food? Yeah? This is Bobby. What did you
just order? Yeah? What's up? Many'll do it. We're doing
(21:27):
pretty good. I actually got him all for a couple
of reasons. First, he texted me during the show and
was like, hey, I heard Eddie talk about that pink tricycle.
Oh yeah, what do you think? What do you think
about that? Keith? If they had one tricycle and it
was pink but for a little boy, what would you
have done? Well? I would have probably got the pink cycle,
took it home, and cameled it out with a camel take.
(21:51):
Here you go. Camel goes for every time. That's true,
So I'm just playing. It would have works fine that way.
If that's the only one to hand, I would have
probably gotten it. What'd you think about that girl? What
do you think about that woman? Given Eddie a hard
time though that, Hey, you should buy this one. Don't
don't worry about it. It's blue or pink. She should
have been doing that. She should have been thrown but personally,
(22:14):
I wouldn't be trying to fill any pink to anybody
want the boys back. That's just me though. Yeah, all right.
The other thing is and and Keith and Caitlyn and
myself were um at my place in Arkansas. We're having
dinner and we were talking about antlers or like a rack,
like like a buck rack in the house, and she
wants one, and I was like, you know, I just
(22:35):
feel bad that we're gonna have one if if it
we didn't kill it, and so we I said, O,
I'm not going to kill it when I was younger,
but I'm not killing anything now. And then she's not
gonna kill it because she's not a hunter at all.
But I said, okay, or your dad or Arkansas Keith
can provide us with one and that would also work. Now,
how do you feel about, first of all, my reasoning
(22:57):
on that, do you feel like that's legitimate? Well, you know,
everybody's not not a hunter. They're not a hunter. But
you know, I get your place look great with a
mound up there, So I'm just saying I have one
argue you, and then let's great. It's gonna look great
up there. I'll see it already. Okay, So when we
come back dark it's on a few weeks, you'll bring
us one. We'll bring you one. Keith's the only guy savent.
(23:20):
But it's real matic. It's gonna look beautiful there. Wait,
what what is it? Exactly? It's a mule dear book
nineteen seventy four. Have you cleaned that thing? Sending fords anybody?
It's just a it's a it's a mount. Yeah, it's
it's an amounted head. Didn't look good there, so like
it has like the like if the full head with
like you competit. It's yeah, well yeah they don't. They
(23:43):
don't know it's getting hit it. Well yeah, I know.
But I guess to Bobby's point, how do you clean that?
Do you dust them off or what you vacuum on him?
And you can just wind deck that's what I claim
the wind decks, Yeah, them off from wind And so
why this particular buck for Bobby? Is it's special or
(24:04):
not as visual? It's just it's just kind of special.
And you know my dad actually shot it. Oh that's cool.
So and it was scarling on me. So it's it's
you know, it's a meaning to me. Plus I'll pass
her out on. Yeah, you know, all right, well accept it.
It's just majestical looking. So it looked great. I promise
you can you text me a picture of it later today?
(24:24):
I will? All right, what else happened to about? I
have it. I have a video of my little choker
and I'll send it to you. He'll be the middle
of one. All right, it's a video. I'm walking around
the room and he'll be the middle one of the

and he's talking about Amy wrecking that car that our client,
Mazda gave her to drive around. I'm an auto adjuster
(25:49):
for an instance company, so I write estimate on vehicles
every day. I saw a picture of the damage on
the Masa that Amy was rest and I wrote an
estimate for damage around thirty one hundred dollars from what
I could. The thought that might be fun to know,
so fun. But I'll say you've given them well of
our thirty one hundred and advertising. This may be the
best thing ever. I liked to Maza stock yesterday. Spiked
(26:11):
hard because no, I am serious. If you're gotta the
one to suv, the Masa c X nine is amazing, Scooba,

Oh yeah, that's right, he has a big truck. It's
a little bit too big, Scooba. Let's be honest. Really,
(26:34):
it's not that big. Up and say four a lot,
but it's not coming here taking clothes off. No, thank you.
It's really not that big. It's it's it's standard tires.
It's not like it's like a forty and super swamper
or anything. I think it's okay, your truck is huge, Well,
thank you, I appreciate it. No, it's big. Big Truck's fine.
(26:56):
Your truck is purposefully larger than other trucks, which means
there's a reason. Why are you trying to show that
you love big trucks? Now? Honestly, I very similar to you.
I grew up super poor, always had crappy cars growing up,
and this is the first car that I was ever
able to buy that was really nice. And I've always
wanted a cool, nice truck. And you went hard. I
went super hard. Yeah, it went hard. It's awesome. Okay,
(27:21):
you're Samy's pile of stories. So this couple in Michigan,
they had a coronavirus friendly wedding. It was outdoors on
a Saturday. Everything was going great, people were having fun
until someone stole all the gifts and wedding money. Here's
the briding room talking about it. This day really admit
a lot to me. And it was beautiful. It was
our day, like to make her a trailer, to give
(27:43):
her my last name. After the way, we couldn't even
go to a honeymoon. Nothing. We just went home. We
went home. It killed the whole up. Everybody was upset.
Those gifts was given to us from our family and
our friends. And for somebody to take the time out
and to mess up my special moment. That hurts me.
That stinks to hear hers. That's sad. They had come
in a side gate, right, and then when they were
(28:05):
like we're taking them all inside because it was like
in a storm, or something. Yeah, well they were going
to put the cake out or something, and they said,
oh no, the groom's mom told us to move this stuff,
which was not the case. They were just stealing it.
But did the grooms mom tell them to steal this stuff?
That's a stinky story. Police are investigating. What's wrong with people?
What's wrong with people? All right? What else? I got
some good news for you. Costco is rolling out samples
(28:27):
at stores again. Costco is all of them everything. This
Coronavite is going to be popcorn tramp. Would you like
to try coronavirting? So, Eddie, is it your dad? He
used to see lunch my parents? Okay, yeah, a lot
of people would rely on Costco for some good sampling.
(28:48):
But if you're excited about the samples, don't get too excited.
They're limited on what they can put out. They will
be featuring dry, prepackaged goods only and one a day.
Get there hurly? All right? What else? And then Carrie
Underwood will once again open NBC's Sunday Night football broadcast
during the twenty twenty one NFL season. Who knows what
(29:08):

be weird if she wasn't. Yeah, honestly, Yeah, I mean
I just associated now carry with that NFL football of
finishing the season college what do you think? Fifty? A
(29:30):
little higher than I thought, but fifty it's gonna be tough.

but just because the entire conference is out? Yeah, Ohio
State within a conference like there's I'm sure that everything's
going to be different. You can kind of come and
go as you please without any penalty. But I did
see that Arkansas, who, by the way, we haven't won

good news with Amy. So this woman, Brianna, she was
on a break from work and taking a drive somewhere,
(30:57):
but she was speeding. She got pulled over and as
she was pulling over, she hit a curb and it
popped her tire. So then the officer comes to the window.
He realizes what has happened and decides to rip up
her ticket, and then called a tow truck and then
he drove her back to work. Then when she went
to go pick up her fixed car, the officer shout out,
(31:18):
officer paradise. He had paid for the tire and repairs. Wow. Wow. Yeah,
he probably felt like, oh dang it, enough, she wouldn't
have gotten a flat dire. But she posted on Facebook
that the officer has no clue what he did for her.
That day, and she's super thankful and he has restored
her faith in mankind during these hard times. Nice. That's
a great It is a really a wild story that
(31:39):

And one more voicemail. Hi Brabby, I absolutely love your
show and I just want to say thank you to
all the very nice people of Nashville. I own an
expediting company and I had a band breakdown over by Brentwood,
and I found a church that left me donate it
and they were the nicest people ever. And just want
(33:52):
to say thank you to all the people in Nashville
that sat by to make sure that we were okay
when we were starting on Nightway. They go listen, we agree.
None of us their natural Nashvillian. Nope, we're from all
over the place. If you don't know our show, we're
not supposed to be a show we want to put
together by some big corporation like most other shows are.
I was just kind of rolling by myself, and I
was in Austin, Texas, but I'm from Arkansas. But in Austin, Texas,
(34:16):
I started to make friends. I met Amy at a
Culver's restaurant. I met Lunchbox at a bar. I met
Eddie at a TV station. I met Raymundo as an intern,
Mike da as an intern. So you know, it's just
kind of organically come together. And I can say this
too that people in Nashville are great. I feel like,
(34:37):
you know, it's home now. I have three I feel
like I have three homes, Nashville, Austin, Arkansas, all of Arkansas,
the whole state, though, the whole state, the whole lunch Bucks.
I was thinking about you last night. I found a
story that I wanted to read to you today. Okay.
A study by researchers found that those who have had
divine encounter experiences encounters with ghosts, spirits, the sensation of
(35:01):
seeing a figure not from this world, reap lasting mental
benefits in a super positive way. What it's positive about
seeing a ghost. Many have reported experiencing deeply moving visions.
Visions they were just discussed about, how you know, bright
or into the tunnel, that kind of stuff, But they've
led to improvements in their overall mental health. To like
open them up a bit. I bring this up to
(35:21):
you because raymondoken, you play that place? How many days?
Fifty three days until Lunchbox goes to the Axe Murderer
ghost House? Fifty three days? We couldn't. We had to
edit that together. He can't just say that every time,
like it takes him. He's just gonna change the number
every day. Play that again. It's like it takes him
(35:43):
just as long to do the whole thing as it
really would to go fifty three days and edit it.
Play it again, ray fifty three days until Lunchbox goes
to the Axe Murderer ghost House. So he is gonna
go to Iowa or the ax murderers. Can we beef
that up a little bit. It just sounds like, right, yell,
we come back. We'll check it with it again on
Monday or Tuesday. But yeah, fifty three days Lunchbox. Any
(36:05):
update from your wife? Uh No. I was talking to
her and I was wondering if it would be okay
if I took the wife and kids, because I need
someone to go with me. I don't think the white
it's not something a family trip. We'll find someone for you.
Call or ten right now. Fifty three days until Lunchbox goes.
I live in the house where all those people were murdered.
(36:26):
The Friday morning conversation with Cohen Ray Colin, I tell you,
I'm so excited that you you came up here today, Bobby.
Thank you mean I was. I was blown away when
I got the email that you wanted me up here.
I was like, man, this is cool. Don't get to
do stuff like this that often, and this show is
the show. Well you were demand, so so thank you
so much for having me. Just first of all, let
(36:47):
me just geek. I think all of us will geek
out for a second. Ago we were just Matt. We
grew up in the nineties, you know, I was, and
we're just massive fans of you and your music, and
when we hear these songs, it reminds us of you know,
what we were doing when we were twelve or thirteen
or fourteen years old, right, were totally were all big fans,
like the universally were all a big fan. Thank you guys.
(37:09):
And that's the thing about music, I mean, because I mean,
I wouldn't have ever wanted to do this had I
not been a fan of it. And and I loved
the music that I grew up on and the greats
of country music and rock and roll and stuff and
and so but so I but you still, when when
it's beginning and you have that first hit or two
on the radio, you still don't think that that's ever
going to happen to you yourself, to where somebody might
(37:29):
twenty thirty years down the road would have that kind
of a feeling and you know, to make up give
him a warm and fuzzy so to speak, because of
something that I that I was a part of, you know,
So that's I could get through experience that all the
time now, which is cool. Well, I was on I
was looking through I was I was having a Calling
Ray nine at the house and I was just playing
a bunch of songs and like, my jam is little Rock,
(37:49):
and I was like, let me say, it's got to
be in his number one or number two much stra
and I couldn't believe it was like number five on
the street. Little rock? To me? Is that the definition
of a Calling Ray song? Now, thank you? I want
to ask you, though, what is this song the most
people know you for? Is it not little Rock? That
would be probably third? Wow? Yeah, I think love Me
was the first one, and that's that that that when
(38:10):
everybody knows, you know, everybody knows that one and that's
my story would be the other one, because it's funny
about that's my story. Is it's like I played worldwide internationally,
it would be that's my story because they could call,
you know, I've played in places in Europe, in different places, Singapore,
you know, and they're like, they're going, you know, Colin Ray,
Colin Ray, You're going to that's my story. And even
(38:30):
if it's not an English speaking country, they all know
the chorus, is that right? Yeah? Well maybe little Rock though,
because I'm from Arkansas, well, and I think we'll meet
me and I as am I UM and that's my
favorite of personal favorite of all the hits would be
Little Rock because I just think it's it's just such
a incredibly written song of one of the first country
(38:52):
songs of the nineties that had that kind of a
social message to it but was able to be a
hit because prior to that, it was tough to get
a song that that said something that deep to you know,
to shoot up the chart, you know, And so when
that did, I felt like we kind of broke some ground.
And so to me, that one will always be my favorite.
And because it's such a a well constructed song and
(39:14):
it's so picturesque and uh so vivid, it's still my
favorite one to sing too, because always feel like I'm
singing it for the first time, just the details, because
because there's no like washing it. It's like the Church
of Christ app selling VCRs a Walmart like it is.
You're very much in the exact place of this guy. Yeah,
(39:35):
that true, And so I know you have your guitar.
We're gonna spend some time together. Can you give us
a little bit a little rock right now? Why not?
If we're talking about it, let's go. Version of course, churse, okay,
willing no beauty time or two hand along way lost me.
(40:01):
I needed a new town from my new start selling
BCRs in Arkansa at a warm I haven't had a
drink in nineteen days. My eyes are clear and bright
(40:24):
without that haste, I like the preacher from the Church
of Christ. Sorry that I cried when I talked to
you last night, but I think I'm motal here in
(40:46):
a little rock. I'm sorry as a stone baby waiting. See,
I got just one small problem. You're a little grow
with that, you baby. I'm not mean without you, baby,
(41:14):
I'm not come on, I'm all smiling. This is the
greatest thank you, Holy that's my morning voice, by the way,
So I just can I sigh Let me say this too.
I know you just celebrate your sixtieth birthday. Thank you.
You can you can still well? Thank you, brother in
the high. Thank you. So I still hit pretty much
every note that I hit back in the day. Once
(41:35):
in a while, I'll tell you what since this whole
lockdown thing, we've caught obviously, like everybody got so many
dates canceled and been home just being a couch potato
so much. Your voice really is like a bice at
the old thing they say if you if you don't
use it, you lose it kind of thing. And it's
it's so when I do get a chance to sing,
it's like whoa, it's kind of it takes me a
little time to get it, get it open. You know. Man,
(41:56):
that was a lot of fun. Huh, that's awesome. Oh,
thank you so much? Wow? Wow, Okay, Colin Ray is here.
Uh so that that's nineteen ninety four letter I came out.
So you'd had, you know, a few hits by then
when that song starts to first picked as a single,
And did you feel like there's a there was a
real shot with that thing early or did it take
a minute to burn? Well, Paul Whorley and I found
(42:18):
the song. Uh. Tom Douglas of course wrote it. Who who?
That was his first cut as a writer. Of course,
he went on to write so many great songs for
Martina and timcbrawl for Randy. I mean, it's just great writer,
one of the best we have, and so I'm thankful
that we got to cut his first one. You know.
But and honestly, because of the hits that I had
had leading up to that, they'd either been kind of
rockers or straight up love songs, and so I was
(42:41):
a little leary. I loved it, and I thought, I'm
so proud of this record, but I thought, can we really,
can we really make this a hit? You know? So
I had I was a little apprehensive about it, but
I believed, and we had a good team over the
Empick and good radio team, and I thought, you know,
if you guys are into this, then then I'm into it.
And and the rest is history. I'm always curious to
about how songs find people because that the Tom Douglas,
(43:03):
you know, he's one of the writers of this song
and this story because I know Tom a little bit.
And this story is that he had moved to Nashville,
failed moved to Texas with selling real estate, but he
was living with his dad and they didn't they'd never
had a super close relationship. But he came home and
his dad had this one song that he loved and
it was little Rock, and Tom Douglas was like wow,
and that's what got him back into Nashville writing more songs. Again,
(43:24):
was your was your hit with a Little Rock? Well?
I knew, I knew part of this story. I didn't
know the part about his dad. He never told me that,
but but I knew that that song had got Okay,
I guess I can do this, and it's like, yes, sir,
you can, and that you're you're very good at this
oppin and then you just kill it because he a
song could be well written, but if you don't perform
and deliver it, yeah, it isn't. It's it's just a
greatly written thank you man. Well, I've always my my
(43:47):
theory was always, um, I'm not I'm not smart enough
to try to act anything. It's kind of like, look,
if if it's a song, if it's a song I'm
into and I love what it says, then I feel
like I can deliver it well if it's something that
I just and I've passed on hits that are songs
that went on to be his for other people, just
because it didn't I thought, I just don't think I'm
the one the guy to do that, you know, And
then somebody else would have a hit on it, and
(44:08):
they said, well, don't you wish you had that back?
And I go on them not really because they needed
that song. They that they were this person who was
supposed to sing that you know. But Little Rock was
one that I just felt so close to the minute
we heard it. And the original demo was just Tom
playing on like an old Attitude Wall Baldwin piano, singing
into a cassette recorder. So it was not a good
(44:30):
quality at all, and but there was like fourteen songs
on it. Love Remains was another one that was on there,
and but I think Little Rock was like number eight.
And we heard that and we looked at it, say wow,
did that just do something to you? You know? And
so like I said, the rest is history, and Tom
has done quite well since then. For sure. Let's go
back to the beginning nineteen ninety one Love Me, I
(44:53):
mean I did finally succumb to the pressure of the
room to go. Love Me as probably in my mind
as big as Little Rock Club, because I was like,
there's no song that should be ranked buab blah. But
so this song, like tell me is this was this
the first single you put out of the first hit
you had. Well, the first single was All that Can
Be Is a Sweet Memory, which which God Blessing Vince
Kiel sang Harmony with Me on, which really helped that
(45:14):
break that loose and that went to like number twenty
two on the chart, and but the video went number one,
and so it was like, okay, well that wasn't technically
what you'd call a big hit, but it did get
to twenty two and the video went number one, so
we're onto something here, you know. And then love Me
was the second single and it flew up the chart
and that and again for a for a kid I was.
(45:36):
I was thirty, which but when that was happening, I
couldn't believe it because the other song had been such
a struggle. You'd be like, okay, we're at ninety six,
or the next one, Okay, we still got our bullet.
We're ninety five now, you know, and you think this
is this is gonna be now, it's always going to be,
you know. And then love Me came out and it
was jumping like twelve spots, fifteen spots, you know, eight twelve,
(45:57):
and I mean it was a kind of a giddy
feeling when I was because I had the radio and constantly,
you know, and it was just getting played every thirty minutes,
it seemed like, you know, and uh so that that
was that's the one that I guess will always be
my my you know, calling cards, so to speak. I
guess you have a flip stations and you're on one
station and you flipped the other one in the town
and you're like, come on both stations at the same time.
(46:18):
Oh yeah, back in the day, it happened, you know,
because I lived in the Dallas area at the time,
and you had a big station in Fort Worth, you
had Kplex in Dallas, and then there was one other
in Young Country, and so I just I had them one.
I was just one after another, going back and forth,
back and forth, back, and so you want to hear
when that was no I was living in Texas. Wow. Well,
and so we're people like, hey, calling you gotta get
(46:39):
to you gotta get to Nashville if you're gonna Well
it was weird because I had been divorced and my
uh ex wife and my kids were living in Greenville, Texas,
and so and and prior to getting my record deal,
I was working at Reno, working casinos and stuff, and
I couldn't afford to leave because we were making really
good money for for a you know, for the level
we were at, making good money, and I thought, well,
(47:01):
I can't afford to leave here because I was taking
care of them and whatnot. And so when when the
record deal happened and love Me happened, I thought, okay,
I can afford now to leave here and go be
where they are. So I wound up moving there and
spent pretty much all the nineties. I didn't move to
Nashville until I think ninety nine. From nineteen ninety one.
Here's Colin Ray. He's like, oh, that's my cute. All right,
(47:23):
I just kill here we go? Here is I love me? Oh?
I read a note in my grandma wrote back in
nineteen twenty three. Grandpa kept it in his coat and
he showed it once to me. He said, boy, you
(47:48):
might not understand, but a long long time ago Grandma's dad.
He didn't like me none, but I love your grandma.
So we had this crazy plan to meet and run
(48:09):
away together, getting married in the first town we came
to leave forever, but nail to the tree when we
were supposed to meet. Instead, I found this letter, and
(48:34):
this is ward. It said, if you get there before
I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you
in My chores are through. Oh I don't know how
long I'll be here, but I'm not gonna let you down, darling,
(49:02):
waiting see and between now and then till I see
you again, I'll be loving you, love me big. Come on,
that's crazy. Thank you so much, guys. Colin Rays, I'm here.
(49:25):
We're we're gonna take a little break in a second.
Let's get drinking water. We'll come back. He's got some
some more songs up a sleeve back a sleeve songs
that I asked them. That's what I mean about to sleep.
The Friday morning conversation with Colin Ray. This Fruit of
the Loom song, I remember it, Colin this commercial here,
(49:47):
It was from a Fruit of the Loom underwork commercial.
It's from two thousand and five. I'm gonna play a
little clip of this here. Here you go. How the
world did they approach you? Well? How did you do
audition for that? You go? I have it? Or do
they go? With the producer, Chris Farren, as a friend
of mine, you know, had had this had the end
(50:08):
to Fruit of the Loom at that time, and had
he had found this song or had I think I
think it way. I'm sorry. He co wrote this song
for the jingle and Fruit of the Loom thought it
was great for the kind of the commercial they were
going for, and it was going to be a super
Bowl commercial, and and so he blessed his heart. He thought, well,
I need somebody this This song is really tongue in cheek.
(50:29):
It's about over, it's about being in love with your underwear.
So but it needs to sound really dramatic. Now, who
can I get that? We can make it that, We'll
get it, you know. And so I went down to
the studio and he played the song for him, and
I was cracking up, you know, and I said, are
you are you sure you want me to do? He goes,
oh yeah, and just sing it like it's sing it
like it's little rock. Just pour your heart out into it.
(50:50):
And so I did it, you know, thinking well, this
can't If it's gonna be on the super Bowl, this
can't be a bad thing, right, And uh it became Man.
People talked about that for years and years and years,
and it was it was a nice check I would
get ever so often too, just residuals that kept coming
in from it. Yeah, I mean, you'd rob a tough
time he's out. You could use little extra money, I mean,
had you know, if it was a down year or whatever,
(51:11):
All of a sudden there'd be a twenty five hundred
n't check in the mail for from Fruit to the
you know. So yeah, so it was a it was
a cool deal. I mean, I wish I could do
about one of those a year. Yeah, right, all right,
Colin Ray is here, we're we're kind of rolling through
some of the catalog here. So let's go nineteen ninety two.
Like when I bring up In This Life, what's that
(51:32):
make you think about? Man? I? Mike Read makes me
think of Mic Read, the writer who you know was uh,
you know Mike's story. He was a football player, played
for the Cincinnati Bengals, All Pro defensive tackle, but a
concert pianist too, which is with such an odd pairing.
And when he retired from football, he wanted to come
down here and be in rot country songs and he
(51:52):
and I think Alan Shamblin uh wrote in This Life
and so in the Garth fund Is actually produced that
album on me, the second album, and we were ready
to go. We had our I forgot how many twelve
songs or whatever we were going to do. We had
them ready to go, and uh, but we didn't have
that one. And the night before we actually was going
(52:13):
to track. The next day, somebody from that publishing company
brought the song over and it was Mike singing it,
you know, and he's a great singer, and we thought, man,
there's our there's our first single off this album. You know,
if we can hook it tomorrow, you know. And so
it was a very like a last minute thing that
came our way. And I loved it because it was
a love song, which at that time Sony was really
(52:34):
trying to push me as sort of about you know,
a love song guy, you know, and uh, And I
like it because it could be about anybody. It could
be a you know, it could be by anyone in
your life, you know, a child, you're one of your children,
a parent, um, anything. It was just a kind of
a universal kind of message about just loving somebody that
much and being loved by that person so much. So
(52:55):
I thought, this is this has got to be a winner.
So before you played this, I guess listen to you
about how they were kind of personifying you. Did they
ever go, hey, we love slow songs. I'm gonna work
on the radio back then? Oh yeah, see. And I
was more concerned about it than they were, actually because
because that's why I jump. The next single, I think
it was his next single after in This Life was
(53:17):
a song called I Want You Bad and that Ain't Good,
which was this rocker thing, and I pushed for that
because I said, guys, I don't want to be Perry Como.
You know, I don't want you. I want I do
because my live show was I was chasing Garth, you know,
I was trying to I was trying to do that,
but I was having to do a bunch of covers
to keep my show that exciting because so many of
(53:38):
the hits were ballots, you know, and so um in
this So I was working. So they I think they
were comfortable and just letting me be that for a while,
and then I just sort of forced the issue over
the next few albums and said, no, man, I got
I want a long career. I want this to last
a while, and we can't just keep giving them, can't
giving them ballot, can't keep giving your radio ballots. It's
time after time, you know, why don't we give them
(53:59):
a ballot? Right now? But I'm glad for the one
that did nineteen ninety two. By the way, Colin Ray
is here. Here is in this life. For all I've
been blessed with in his life, there was an emptyness
(54:22):
in me. I was imprisoned by the power world gone.
With one honest touch, you set me free. Let the
world stop turning, let the sun stop burning. Let them
(54:48):
tell me love's not worth going through. If it all
falls apart, I will no deep in my heart the
only dream that mattered had come true in this life.
(55:12):
I was loved by you. I feel that hairs in
the back of my necks. We've been hanging out with
like half an hour. By now, hair back of my
neck is still standing out long. Do you feel like
a reappreciation of your songs like that maybe fell off
(55:35):
for a bit, but now it's just back full force. Yeah.
And again that's something and a lot of my friends
from the nineties, my compatriots, you know that, uh, that
we're out at the same time basically, you know, we
all talk about it all the time when it was Tuesday,
is kind of It's kind of cool that and you
just you just didn't expect that. I almost kind of
feel like nineties country is kind of the new classic rock.
(55:56):
And by that I mean, you know, because I mean
I grew up on the classic rock and roll of
the seventies and stuff, and he had such a resurgence,
say in the nineties where you wanted to hear Grand Funk,
you wanted to hear fog Hat, you wanted to hear Seeger,
you know. And and their touring just exploded. And I'm
you know, making more money on the road than they
(56:17):
did back in the day because people wanted to relive
that music so much. And I think nineties country was
so big, and I give Garths so much credit for
that because he busted down a lot of walls and
opened up a made that narrow two lane road into
this big super highway. And uh, I think it touched
the music we did back then touched so many people.
(56:38):
Now they are at that age where where they want
to relive it, you know. And uh and they have
a little more money because they have careers and tickets
on the money, you know, and the touring is big.
You know. Well, up until this that's all this nonsense.
But but prior to that, I mean, we were it
was just it was amazing. And you and I would
see young people, I mean very young people twenty twenty
years old, twenty four years old, you know, seventeen years
(57:01):
old girls singing along to these songs, you know, and
they go, well, that means their parents raised him listening
to it. I was talking to Tracy Lawrence pretty recently.
He said the same thing about classic rock, exact same analogy.
It was like, it feels like it's a classic rock.
So we got to the point one er to hear
the old CCR stuff exactly, and so he's like, people
don't like that one music. Pay me at Birmingham because
(57:21):
I think that music for my generation, Tracy's generation, that
music was the biggest thing. There was the rock and
roll of that time, and you know, pop pop, slash
rock and roll at that time was the biggest thing
in the world, and so it had the biggest impact
on us, you know, as far as you know, told
on a lot of people, you know, because even country music,
I mean, I grew up on Merle Haggard and Buck
Owen's and Cash and Whylan and Johnny Horton and Jim Reeves.
(57:46):
But it was always kind of a exclusive kind of
club because you know, I remember being in high school,
even in the South, in middle school and high school
and stuff, and if you like country music, that really
they just didn't get it. They didn't under a lot
of kids just didn't understand. While we like it, you know,
but but rock and roll everybody like that, and so
I think it had that, you know, more of a
universal impact. And I agree with Tracy. I feel like
(58:08):
now as our time, it says like nineties country was
that big. Well, One Boy, One Girl? Where do you
put that in your set when you play it? Because
that's just smashed too, oh man, usually in the middle,
and that is that maybe, um one of the most
requested songs we get, because sometimes I'll not do that one,
or I'll not planned to do that one. If I
go to a calling ratio and you don't play One Boy,
One Girl, You're gonna find me getting a rEFInd a
(58:30):
real quick, you know what. I have heard that, And
because you know, there's certain ones, uh that you just
know you always need to do, and then others I
try to switch out, you know, because we had quite
a few, and you think, well, and there's new stuff
you want to do and stuff you know, and and
it's very hard for me to sometimes a lot of artists,
I think go through this. You think, well, well, I
want to play this because this means a lot to me.
(58:51):
But then I'll go see someone else and I do
the same thing. If they don't play two or three
of the ones, I get like, I get a little
mad about it. You, I can't believe they didn't do this,
So then I have to remember. Now they're saying the
same thing about me if I leave certain songs out.
So now I'm doing it all the time. Well, I'm
not gonna let you escape here without playing me a
little bit of One Boy, One Girl. I'd want to refund,
(59:14):
all right, Colin Rays, here, here we go. And I
never realized how many twins there were in America until
we put this song out, and apparently it was. There's
a lot of lots of families that have twins that
could relate to this story. And so he finally gave
in news friends girl friend when she said there's someone
you shouldn't meet in a crowded restaurant way a crosstown.
(59:39):
He waited impatiently when she walked in therizement and they
both stared, they're right there, and then everyone else disappeared,
but one boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly to
(01:00:07):
put in mild lyad was love at first side. He smiled,
she smiled, and they knew, right this was the David
waited for all their lives, and for a moment, the
(01:00:32):
whole revolved around one boy and one girl happening right now. Dang, dang, dang,
thank you so much. So you got a new albums
that's coming out called Scars. The whole album's out out.
It's gonna be on in October, right, yeah, Now, did
you record this in the last few months or ye?
(01:00:54):
We actually were wrapping it up when the whole Corona
thing started, and so I'm lucky we got it in
there when we did, and got named David Fergus and
Fergie uh produces. He's very acclaimed producer. And they what
the record Labe was audio and they kind of wanted
an Americana kind of record, and so I thought, okay,
well cool, I'm still sure what the definition of that is.
(01:01:16):
It kind of there kind of is no definition. It's
the way I took it. It's like, well, this can
be as as as edgy, a little bit dark, a
little bit happy, can be a little bit folky. It
can be whatever you want it to be. And that
seems to be the what they wanted. And so so
it was a really fun record to make. And I
wrote every song on it except for wrote or co
(01:01:37):
wrote every song on it except for a couple that
my brother wrote and if in bringing. He's played with
Miranda Lambert for since she began. He introduced me to
Miranda when she was seventeen years old, and so I've
known her a long time, and uh, he was sort
of her only band when she was playing around Dallas
and Austin and stuff and playing the little just acoustic
(01:01:57):
things and stuff. And he always believed in her, of course,
as did. I had no idea it was going to
go where it went, you know, But she's just awesome
and he's played with her up until recently. He's had
some health issues with his heart and whatnot, had a
really bad year last year, and he's probably done touring
at this point. And so anyway, this record was kind
of a full circle moment for us because he and
(01:02:19):
I started this together when we were you know, fifteen,
sixteen years old, and we got separated and went different ways.
We're very very different and a lot of a lot
of ways things things we wanted to do and whatnot.
But we've always been close. But it was so cool
to get to work with him on this record. He
plays on it, he sings on it, and the title
(01:02:39):
song Scars that Miranda sings with me on h Scott
he wrote that like twenty years ago, and I've been
holding onto that song for the right for the right time.
You know, I'm gonna play some of that right now.
Let's listen to some Scars here from Colin Red. Gotta
(01:03:09):
be a pretty cool that Randon was gonna sing with
you too. I mean, we're hearing you guys sing right there.
That's pretty cool. Huh yeah. And she, I mean she
she'd been threatening to do it for for a while,
you know, and I was like, yeah, and so because
he's again like we known each other really really long time.
And in her early early days, I would do things
where I'd show up and play on a bill that
(01:03:31):
she was on and whatnot, which she repeat appreciated that
when people when she was just getting started. Um, and
I guess this was her little favor to me and
to Scotty to get to do this, and of course
she killed it. She's a great singer in the studio
and uh went in there run. She knew the song too,
because she had done it, had played it live before.
Over the last few years. Whenever they would do like
(01:03:52):
an acoustic thing where it was just her and Scotty
and maybe you know, writers in the round kind of thing,
she would always do scars and just sang the paint
off of it, you know. And so Scotty was hoping
she'd cut it, and then she's, well, I'm I've been
thinking about it, I'm thinking about I'm thinking about it.
And so I said, well, hey, if she's not going
to do it, then I'm I'm cutting it, you know,
and then to bring her in on it. So obviously
(01:04:12):
she knew the song so well. She wasn't. She was
in the studio fifteen minutes and just killed it, you know,
And it really kind of anointed this record having her
on there. All right, the full album out in October. Um, well,
why don't we end on this, the song that you
say all over the world people know your most for this,
I wouldn't have picked up I know it, and it's
one of my favorites. I liked the group vocals, and
(01:04:33):
I rarely let the show do gang vocals. But I
was gonna ask you, how do we have permission? You need.
That's my story. That's my story. Oh, that's my It's
like you can't really do it without it. Yes, so
we're gonna be here for you on the gang vocals.
And that's my story. Okay, I would be honored the
(01:04:55):
last way, Colin Ray, here we go. Well, I came
in as the sun came up. She renting me over
her coffee. Come, She said, where you've been? So I
thought real hard and said I fell asleep and then
(01:05:15):
hammock in the yard. She said, you don't know it, Bubba,
but you just blew it. And I said, well, that's
my story and I'm sticking to it. That's my story.
That's my story. That's my story. Come on, that's my story. Well,
I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it.
You got it, but that's my story and I'm sticking
(01:05:36):
to nice. Well color herd a couple of things before
we get Thing Number one is we're all such big fans.
This has been such a joy for me personally. You know,
I got to be a bit jaded because I get
to do a lot of cool things now on my job.
But occasionally something he sets me. It's like, this is
(01:05:57):
what makes me happy and this, this whole thing made
me happy today. Thank you, So that means a lot
to me. And just again, thank you for having me
come in. It's been a it's an honor, big fan
and just love the show and you're on a roll
and it's just it's just it's really cool to get
to be a part of it. My final question, I
saved this for the very end. Do you remember our
great Twitter feud of twenty fourteen and you were going
(01:06:18):
to Can I explain that ahead? I'm ready, okay, Because
I wrote a book, yeah, okay. It was my life
story in the manner the management team I had at
the time, the story had really was it was basically
about my my life story. You know, um, some a
lot of tragedy in my life over the years and whatnot,
family stuff and it was basically was more about, uh,
(01:06:39):
my faith journey and the family situation. But yet there
was some music business stuff in it, and uh because
I knew, well, if it's a calling Ray autobiography, they're
gonna want to hear some stuff about the music stories too,
So we had a lot of some anecdotes in different
stories there. But my manager at the time was really
looking for a hook that he could for pr hook,
(01:06:59):
you know, and so and so we I'd made some comments,
I'd made some comments about the modern country music at
the time, and and uh, we got seriously taken out
of context, and he forced it, and so he was
the one trying to push that, and I was like,
I didn't mean that. So he kept trying to draw
me into this, to this thing because he thought it
would did sell, you know, And I've never been I've
(01:07:21):
never been a big fan of that, you know. And
so I a real quick story, but but I love
Travis Tritt, love him. He was one of my favorite
artists of the nineties. And there was a comment in there.
I was talking about certain records in the nineties that
I thought were just rocking. They were just like moments
where you just, you know, think that that's really good.
That's really good. And I always loved his cover of
(01:07:44):
t r o U b l E. The Oil Elvi song,
because it just was he slayed it, you know, the bands.
It was just a really great, great cover. And so
I mentioned that in the book. Okay, well the just
so you know, the way you write these books, generally,
none of us our authors where we sit down at
a typewriter. I basically sat in front of a video
(01:08:05):
camera an hour a night for like three months and
just would tell telling my story and then A go
ghost writer, I guess if you want to call him,
that would try to put it into manuscript, you know.
And so there were a lot of things that he
wrote differently than what I said, So I would go
back and try to ed I said, hey, I didn't
I didn't say that. I did say it's gonna be
taking the wrong way. So anyway, I fought with him
(01:08:26):
with a publisher throughout the whole process. I'll never write
another book again as long I live. And so, but
one of the things he said in there, he talks
about my comment about to trouble and he kind of
made it sound like I was this in the song.
And I was like, that's not what I said. And so,
and I thought, and I would say, take that out,
(01:08:47):
take that out, and final manuscript comes out. It's in there.
So so I thought, well, I hope Travis doesn't read
this book because he'll take it the wrong way. So
we're at the Randy Travis tribute that he had had
a couple of years back at Bridge Stone, you know.
And I'm back there and Travis hadn't seen anyone a while.
He comes up me, Oh, Colin, I read your book.
(01:09:07):
I got this look a panic on my face. I
was like, oh, hey, man goes, Oh I loved it,
so I don't. I guess it didn't. He didn't take
it as right. But I was afraid of that, I thought,
because I love the record. It sounded like I was
well like, not like didn't didn't dig that song, you know?
But no, he took it really well. But I'll never
forget that. I just got this. I was just broke
out into a cold sweat, you know. He goes, yet
(01:09:28):
I read your book. I'm like, oh no, well so anyway,
but so I didn't want to. My manager was going, Bobby,
Bobby wants to do this, and I was like, oh,
I don't want because I don't want to be known
for a guy that's this and the guys that are
out there now, and that's what he was trying to
get me to be. And I was like, I'm not
comfortable with that. So thank you for her. And I
(01:09:50):
saved for putting up with it. I saved it for
the very end in case it got off to a
fist fight or something. We got all the songs and
then the fist fight. But no, I think all I said.
I think I said something about the lyric. I felt
like the lyrics were kind of a lot of them
were kind of the same story, same message, dirt road,
et cetera. And I made some kind of comment about that,
and boy, he just ran with it. So this is good,
(01:10:12):
this is good. It's like, that's not what I meant.
Did you when you were coming up? Where there ever
folks that were like, ah, Colin Rad, That's like, hey,
it's that country. Oh yeah, I used to get that
all the time, and uh, you know, we would. I remember,
you know, Chestnut came came out to radio by the
same time I did. If he God Brest his soul,
and you had some really good country voices that were
out at that time. And because I sounded a little more,
(01:10:35):
you know, Don Henley as kind of um, people are like, well,
he's a he's a he's really a rocker and he's
just down here, you know. And if they only knew,
you know, I mean obviously with this guitar right now,
if you had if you had about six days, I
could sit here and sing sing classic country songs and
not not miss a word and never repeat the same song.
But because that was my specialty, so to speak, and
(01:10:58):
my early producer said, no, this is your thing. You
don't need to be doing too cold at home. You
need to be doing this. It's gonna make you stick out,
it's gonna make you sound different than everybody else. There
was a lot of people that thought, I just don't
know if he's really country or not. You know, so
I get that. I mean I've been on the other
the receiving side of that, where where it kind of
hurts your feelings a little bit you and go, yeah,
(01:11:19):
I am man, because I would sit there and name
you know, Glynn Campbell, Ray Price, who sometimes sounded his
country's cornbread. Other times he shouted like a pop singer.
You know, there's many of the Jim Reeves, There's many
of the greats that we all admire and idolize that
didn't all sound like Merle. You know, that's just one
style that Merles is just and then Merle is still
(01:11:40):
the king of that. But that Lefty for Zell kind
of thing that there's more than just that one style
of country music, you know, Hank didn't sing like that,
you know. But but I think there was a time
where if you didn't, if you didn't right, right, right,
if you didn't do that, oh he's not country, right
you know? So I so I get That's why I
didn't want to get into that whole thing, because like, man,
I'm not knocking this. This is a whole different generation.
(01:12:03):
It's a whole different time. Times change, music changes, and
everybody's doing their thing and they're successful because they're doing
their thing really well. And so anyway, I've I've but
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You remember that, all right, you'd forgotten.
We have had a great time. Colin's been great san yea,
(01:12:24):
thank you, Bobby, I speak for everybody in the room. Yes, yes, absolutely,
thank you guys so much. It's great pleasure. You can
follow call on Instagram Colin Ray Official and on Twitter
at Colin Ray. Thank you very much. Hopefully I'll see
around right there has Colin Ray. Thank y'all so much.
It's time for the good news. You know a lot
(01:12:46):
of teachers are going back to school right now. Big
shout out to all you guys if you're listening again,
so thank you for being here. And thanks for doing
what you do. The crazy thing about teachers, and you
know this like I do, Amy, is that a lot
of these teachers have to pay for school supplies themself, oh,
totally out of their own pocket. Yeah. So in sarah Sota, Florida,
there is a Facebook group Adopt a sarah Sota County Teacher,
where educators are going, hey, we need this if you
can help, and the communities basically sepped in and bought everything.
(01:13:09):
Stuffs still going up, and it's not all the way
done now, but as soon as it goes up, people
are hopping into help. So there's a teacher that's like, hey,
our need is even greater this year because of the pandemic,
and so people are reaching out helping teachers. Love that.
We love teachers and so not only I mean, I
guess you could search for adopt a sarah Sota County Teacher,
but you could also set up one for your own town.
(01:13:30):
Oh yeah, which I think teachers would really appreciate you.
Yeah there you go. All right, there, you guys, that's
what it's all about, right there. That was tell me
something good. I want to play this for you because
it went up this morning. It's me. Talking with Tracy
Lawrence on my music podcast, The Bobbycast. We talked about
how pay Me at Birmingham was never at number one
and all of us hits from the nineties. But I
(01:13:50):
asked him why the nineties are such a beloved decade
for country music. I think it was just such a
great It was really a magical time for country music.
All started in eighty nine with Guard Brooks and Clint Black,
Travis Tritt and Alan Jackson and Mark Chestnut. That was
the beginning of it, and that explosion drove so many
of us to come to mashful. I mean because of
(01:14:12):
by the time we got into the early nineties, it
was it was traditional country with an edge to it.
I really think that we're going to look back on
the nineties. It's kind of like what classic rock is
to the country these days. It's going to be that
music that sustains for a long long time. There was
just something really special about it. Colin Ray had mentioned
that earlier about the classic rock analogy, so check it out.
(01:14:33):
I talk with them for like twenty minutes. If you
love nineties country like I do, I mean, how can
you not love Paint me a Birmingham two thousand and three.
If we talked about that, you know it wasn't a
number one, but he was like, man, maybe the biggest
song of my career that or Time marches On nineteen
ninety six or Alibis nineteen ninety three, this first said
(01:14:57):
nineteen ninety one, six and stones. So we talked about
new music on the Bobby Cast that comes out every
week and then we have an artist on to talk
about and Tracy Lawrences this week. So search Bobby Cast
after the show's over on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen
to your podcast. It's up to it. I'd love for
you to hear it. I see your dad's coming over
to your house this weekend. He is on Sunday. First.
(01:15:18):
We're excited. He's been in a nursing Oh. He lives
in an assistant living home, but since they went on
lockdown mid March, he hasn't left so which was really
hard for him. He's very social and he would come
over to our house every week and we just haven't
been able to spend time with him in that way.
But they're allowing him to come over because we don't
(01:15:38):
live too far from him and we have to follow
social distancing rules and masks and the whole thing. But
at least he'll get to come over for a few hours.
And can you touch him? No, no, really, we have
someone watch you to make sure you don't touch him. No.
They said they trust us. They've they've watched us, you know, interact.
(01:15:59):
He said he will follow the rules. We've committed to
following the rules. So really they're just you know, hoping
that everyone does their part to keep I want to
keep him safe. So no, we're gonna do everything by
the books and then return him safely. We'll see how
it goes. Well, exciting it is, Yeah, he's I mean,
I think it's boosted his morale even just knowing that
(01:16:21):
he's coming already. By well, let's go to another good thing.
It is time for our final first round food feud.
After this we go to the next round. All right,
we have two food items here. They're going to battle
it out against each other. Now, I have a little
little voice thing going here, so I can't really give
(01:16:42):
him all today. But we've been putting two food rivals
against each other over the last week's and eventually we'll
see which one ranks at number one. This week Week eight,
it's Battle of the kids cereals in the red corner.
They come with hearts and stars and horse shoes and
Chloe for some blue moons and unic corns and rainbows
and tasty red balloons, plus crunchy bluten free yots. But
(01:17:06):
that part of don't like it. They are a serving
will run you one hundred thirty three calories ten grams
of sugar. They're magically delicious. Luck at you we are
look at John's right here and facing off. In the
blue corner, it's the cereal that consists of small squares
(01:17:29):
or rectangles of wheat and rice covered with cinnamon and sugar.
They're one hundred and sixty eight calories per serving, twelve
grams of sugar. The taste you can see, the crazy
squares you crave it is cinnamon toast cram. All right, Amy,
(01:17:50):
are make me a bowl over here? Okay both, I
mean you have the milk and everything. Yeah, yeah, this
is I do this bit only for free food, now,
I know. I'm my gram is you have to pick
one for it. I can't really decide. I initially was
going Lucky Charms, but I it's been so long since
I had cinnamon toast crunch. I feel like I just
(01:18:11):
don't know. I'm gonna go with Lucky Charms, since I
I know that as long as you have the perfect
spoonful of the marshmallow and the whatever, I don't do it.
Like yeah, I go all outs first so I can
celebrate at the end of the all my marshal I
know you do, but I like to make I do
my life. So Lucky Charms for me like Johns metaphor
for life, Eddie Man, there's a no brainer for me.
(01:18:32):
In my pantry lives one cereal consistently all the time,
and that's cinnamon toast crunch always. My kids love it.
I love it. It's my favorite. I'm pouring my second
bowl here. I've got one bowl of Lucky, one bowl
of cinnamon. Morgan, what do you got while I have
a bite. Oh, this is so hard. They're both so good.
(01:18:53):
But I think when I go to the store, I
always would buy Lucky Charms, So Lucky Charms is fine.
Oh man, these are both mouthwatering good. I love me
some Lucky Charms the marshmallows, but then you realize those
oats are just a waste of space. So half the
bowl is being wasted. So my vote is for cinnamon toast. Yeah.
(01:19:17):
Well yeah, and you're over there eating them yet. Like
if it wasn't we were in a pandemic, I would
be eating after you right now because it looks so good.

like yeah, we're building a bracket for everybody. Our buddy
(01:20:02):
Jaco and turns thirty nine years old today. I've said before,
pound per pound, I think Jake's the best guest on
our show. I tweeted that the other day and he
texted me, and then he replied on Twitter and he said,
I try to give you a one hundred and eighty
four pounds of me every time I come and see
you guys. So I don't know if that's a flex
and he's in good shape, I don't know what one
eighty four is for him. Usually he's tall, right, yeah,
(01:20:22):
pretty tall, and he Jake was. I'm gonna go the
first one that I knew, the first guy that I
knew in a couple of ways, but the first like
really great athlete that turned into a music star. Yeah.
I think Garth did that obviously, he was on a
track scholarship to Oklahoma State. But like within me and
who I know around town, the first one was Jake,
and then came Sam Hunt, and then came Riley Greene
(01:20:46):
played football, you know if he had a lot of
those guys now, Oh yeah, and what about Dustin Lunch
didn't he played golf? Yeah, and Jake was a great golfer,
you know. So all that but Jake's birthday today, I
have a top five list. I'm my favorite Jake songs
at number five on the jacoing list Barefoot, Blue g Night,
Never Gonna, Never Gonna. The song reminds me of moving
(01:21:09):
to Nashville, had me too, for sure. This is one
if I had to make a top five of songs
that remind me in Nashville. This one and who Randy
how new line? Yeah Yeah. Number four favorite Jaco went

top three are just my biggest top three alone with you.

favorite Jaco And song is a new one made for
you say I'm a sucker for these day like for you, Yeah,
(01:22:42):
for you have a birthday Jaco and thirty nine years old.
I feel like we're going to honor it like he
died or something. That birthday you know when when when
I moved to town, at this big press conference, and
you know, a bunch of industry like folks in the
business came and they all sit around this this little room.
It was little theater room, and Jaco On was one
of the guys. I was there. He was one of
the artists that came. There weren't a lot that came
(01:23:02):
because they were like, what is this show? But Jaco
and came. That's my first memory when we first moved
in and we had what was Jerry House's old studio
and there was a bunch of like weird things written
on the wall, and you know, it was like whiskey.
You know, it just wasn't our vibe. But I was
in a new place and always going to be made
a bunch of changes yet. But so I have a
(01:23:23):
picture of me in that room, maybe the first or
second appearance Jake Everarden on the show. His hobby was photography,
so he brought this humongous camera. He took a picture
and I didn't think much about it. And about a
year and a half later, it came over to the
house and goes, hey, man, I had this made for you,
And it was a picture of that from like our
first year and he wrote a big note on the
bottom of it, and I have enough my office at
home now. And then finally, as we celebrate Jake on
(01:23:45):
his death, on his birth, I know what it feels
like we're doing. Someone's just turning on the radio. They're like,
what Jake Owen died? Jake Owen has the most listened
to Bobby Cast that we've ever done, which is my
music podcast. He came over for when we did for
an hour we talked, he's done a couple of them,
(01:24:06):
but if you go back to the first one, we've
been so close and then fought so hard, and haven't
We've been on both sides for my almost eight years here.
We got into a real life fight on the air
and Mike d was producing it, sitting there going should
I turn this off? Should I leave? And we let
the Mike's roll and you got to hear us, Hey, buddy,
(01:24:27):
hadn't seen you in a while, real ugly. By the end,
we're like, you know what, we're both a little wrong.
Hey buddy, it's a good one, it is, but that yeah,
it's Episode fifty three, April seventeenth, twenty seventeen, ninety one minutes.
If you search for the Bobby Cast, you can hear this.
Jake is joined Bobby is joined by Jake Owen. This
one gets real right off the start is Bobby and
(01:24:48):
