Bobby started with a voicemail from a listener who touches on a sensitive subject for us, but we address it anyway. We also got an update on the YouTube channel subscriber count. We then got into an argument trying to figure out who is at fault, Eddie or the equipment. Bobby's favorite band, Counting Crows stopped by the studio! They talked about their feud with SNL, how they craft a setlist and how Bobby was originally afraid to meet Adam. We then returned with Miles who is on our Canadian radio stations who told us about his crazy life story living all over the world including Scotland, Dubai, England and Canada. Then we played an Anonymous Tea Message about someone who has a complaint with Eddie.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I do want to start with a couple of voicemails.
Is Eric from Bismarck, North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
First time caller, and I've been a listeners since the
day that I heard live on the radio opening the
first thing from the Palette. Since that moment, I have
went back and listened to every single episode that has
been available. I'm about a year and a half sober,
and I don't know where I would be without you all.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
You guys.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
The chemistry just makes me feel like I'm part of
the family and I love you guys. I don't know
where i'd be without y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thanks man, congrats on a year and a half. And yeah,
the Palette, that's almost the voltimore of this show almost where.
We do speak about it occasionally, but we know we
trouble when we do. That's all. Yeah, But I just
don't want to get into it. I just want to
get it talk about it, but I'm not in the
mood to get into it now. But go ahead.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Can I just say I'm happy that the Palette was
able to help in his journey.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
No, no, because the Palette has hurt our journey. It
made me start drinking it's the opposite of him. I've
never but because the palette, we have not got our
money back. I'm now I'll say it. I drink.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Oh no, you don't. It makes me so mad though.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Me too about what It pisses me off that we
don't have our money.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Yes, and I've had to let it go. Y'all need
to let it know.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're not letting it go. We don't talk about it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm moving. Hey, business people, you're not a business person.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Were Pokemon cars. They're still saying, we don't have any
money for that.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
So you guys get that we bought and that bit
with stuff to hold and let it grow in value.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What do you think the stuff from the palace doing
that stuff's not growing in value. It's a piece of rope.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
No, it's sold one hundred dollars bill and then.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Pay us to give us our part of what we have.
It's like when you started not like a like a
next voicemail.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Hi guys, Okay, I just saw that you hit three
hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Curious as to if accounts since it was after the
show ended, or if you're gonna let it go let
me know.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Not sure that question. I think there are some comments
that we should have on this. We did hit, but
it was what I gave it until the show ended,
and then I gave another hour and a half and
we did not hit until even after we went off
the podcast after that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But I think it was only like five minutes after that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It was quick, but I did give it an extra
hour and a half because I really wanted to do it.
So I saw that you had three anything if it counts,
So no nobody got paid out because nobody hit it
in that, But I'm still going to pay somebody one
thousand dollars or all three of you one thousand dollars. Yes,
if we hit five hundred thousand before September first, or
(02:31):
one person gets thirty five hundred if what if you
decide to play a game for it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I like it, but we'll get there first once we
hit that number. Week decide that.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But a lunchbox has a problem because he's tried to
figure out a way to wiggle in to say he
deserves one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
But yes, I would like to on behalf of Eddie
Morgan and myself. I would like to come into Bobby
Bones's courtroom and say that we actually did hit it
by the end of the show, because if you are
living in Sacramento, California, the show was still on the
air when we hit three hundred thousand, So technically the
show was still on. The show was still going when
(03:07):
we hit three hundred thousand, and you said by the
end of the show, and so my belief is the
show was not over.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So by the end of the show, then that argument
could be used because it's always streaming on one of
the channels. The iHeart channels like that too, it's always
on demand. No, it was until the end of the show,
as we do the show. When we ended the show,
I still said, I will give you guys another hour
and a half and it still didn't hit. But I'm
giving you guys the opportunity to make a lot more
(03:35):
money with the neck. By the way, I don't make
any money off of this. This is money I'm just
giving out of my own pocket.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Eddie.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We need sound, let's see that.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Sorry, you mean we do this whole thing with no sound.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, that's what Morgan is saying.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
No way, lill bit, this isn't helping's case.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There, it is.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh my wave been this whole time. None of that
went on. Did we at least get up for the podcast? Yeah,
we're recording of area we got.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's just just a stream.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
This wasn't our first day over here.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh my god, stop it.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
You know it's not my fault. My computer updated.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Over the weekend, so it's not your fault.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
But it did over the weekend and it restarts everything.
So like, I didn't see that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you didn't see, but it wasn't your fault.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But technically we were on air in the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, that's not true. We're on the air.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Technically it's the computer's fault, not mine. Yes, I'm sorry, dude,
it didn't see it up, But you just.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Said it wasn't your fault, So why are you sorry?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, because this computer when it restarts it like does.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I just want to do a quick lesson for everybody listening,
just in general. If something's ever your fault, just say
that's on me, my fault. I'll get better, sorry about that,
and move on because that allows everybody to move on,
allows you to move on, allows the people that are
over you to move on, and everybody when you say
it's not my fault, and obviously was your fault. All
it does is extend the communication about whose fault it
(05:02):
was and where either the lack of communication from you
or the lack of or the inability of whatever program
we're using to run. So now that's extended a whole
bunch more.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
So and further infuriates your superior.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, it's just like it was it your fault? Was
it your fault?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I should I should have seen that on there, my
bad man.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Just in general in life. If that's it, Yeah, it
sucks for a second, but it's like a pill man,
it tastes very good, but all right onward.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know what's stupid about this whole thing?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Though, Okay, I would just move on.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
This is also a space where we get to talk
things through and we move on.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But I think we do this and we have to
keep going on a podcast. But cut our stream and
start it over, because anybody watching the beginning of that's
going to see four minutes of silence and they're not
going to watch the stream.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I wouldn't or maybe they just got on right now,
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It goes loaded up as a YouTube video, which you're
trying to get more videos for therefore, why would anybody
watch any of the content?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
All right, take it down?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, well, we did a video on YouTube and no,
I mean, Morgan thought this was gonna get so many
views and got nine hundred views.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, but you can't fight those video hold on algorithms.
You cannot predict. So I'm not gonna be on anybody
for putting anything up.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I was just being funny.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I was like, I looked at it, and I was like, man,
I thought we were gonna I was like, that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Was you being funny? It was okay, So can we
start the stream over? But keep the podcast going.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
A Morgan, I'm sure, I mean you can do anything.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Okay, just start the stream over.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, we're still recording over here, raising.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And let me know where when it comes back.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And this is what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What everybody just hushed. Everybody hush.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
He's mad at me.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'm not mad at you.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Everybody, No, everybody shush. Start the stream over. Let me
know when we're back on, and then we will start again.
But we won't start over. But from the start of
that content on video, if you don't hook people in
the first few seconds, nobody's gonna watch any of it,
and you're running us with four minutes of silence. There's
no way that then would get over like fifty views. Now,
people may turn on the Facebook stream because that is live,
(07:07):
or watch it live on YouTube, but if we want
you able to watch it as it's loaded, they're not
going tom But these are the decisions you have to
make in order to get more followers.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I'm interested to see what Eddie was mad about.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I want to wait till the stream comes up. Are
we working on it now and Morgan's working on the
back end. It's not I'm Morgan, not Mortgan's fault.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No one's blaming Morgan.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
That's just getting you the key.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Thank you, and I'm looking. We'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Bekay.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You know what, why don't we just go to the
Atom Dirret's interview. Oh, we'll come back on the other
side of the Atom dirrets interview. Okay, Okay, so we'll
just we'll just shut it all down.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
But also just so Eddie feels better, maybe because of
the everything we talked about, somebody listening to that is
going to mess up at work this week and they're
going to own it right away because of you and
it's gonna be better. It's gonna be better for them.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
They're gonna call it an eddie.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I pulled on Eddie.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, so let's do this. Let's go to Adam Durrett's
from Counting Crows and we'll come back on the backside
on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Now, Adam Durrett's Counting Crows.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Adam going to see you again, buddy. Hey, no, I
realized there's things going on in the head that I'm
missing out on.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It was literally a voice just going And now Adam
Durrett's Counting Crows. I mean, if you really wanted to
hear that?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Did sound cool?
Speaker 9 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Intro seven out of ten?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
All right, okay, it's cool. I was as long as
I got the idea. Now I feel like I've hit
the stage. There's been a yeah, I'm here here. Do
you guys have an intro?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Now? When you come out? Like? Why do you guys
come out?
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We usually played this song it lately it's been stand by.
It's lying the family stone, lights go down, stand comes on.
We come on about midway through the song.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So the song is playing like over the top and
you guys walk out on the hall, it comes out
when you do a set list. How often does it
change during a tour?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Every night?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Is that part of your or you know, I don't
know creative nightly task is to recreate the set list?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, im or who he was here a second ago.
He and I do it after dinner sometime.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Does that depend on the mood that you're in.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, just sort of what do you want to
play tonight? That way, we're playing stuff we want to play.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Do you ever do want of you ever go hey,
maybe we haven't played this song in a while, we
throw this in. Is there ever like a battle?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, it's usually like that, you know, somebody wants it's
I mean, anybody in the band can say, hey, you know,
I've been really dying to play this, and if we
you know, if it's if we've been playing it, we
just stick in the set list. If we haven't been,
we'll work it at sound check and then put it
in the set list. Sometimes we need a few days
to work on something if we haven't played it for
a decade or something. You know, Oh, you'll bring old
(09:44):
songs back sometimes, yeah, because people like you know, we
have so many records at this point and so many songs,
and people like get to where they're dying to hear
someone or someone's girlfriend is pretty insistent about something. My
girlfriend really wanted us to play this song, Butterfly and
Reverse for a long time, and it was a song
even when it was released we only played it once
or twice. One of my friends checked on the whatever
(10:06):
the archive, we only played it once or twice, and
we worked on it and put it in the set.
And now it's been like every night for a few years.
That everybody loved it so much that it's kind of
stuck in there. But yeah, you know, there's things you
haven't played in a long time.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Are there any songs that you feel you have to
play every night? Is there one song that stays in
the thread the whole time? A long December does nothing else?
I mean, I don't feel like there's anything I have
to play every night, because sometimes you just get tired
of it. There anything there is, you get tired of it.
Except for some reason, for me, A long December, I
never get tired of it. There's never been a night
(10:39):
where I didn't want to play it. I don't know
why that is. I have no idea, but I was
kind of excited to play it like an arrangement change
up on that song, like playing it by yourself at
a piano or the full band. Does that ever change
even though the thread as you play that song every night.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, I mean, we'll change little details of it. There's
little like breakdowns that go into it. For the last
couple year and a half, I started, I just was
we went to see Taylor Swift and it was really great,
and I really loved that song, the one, and so
I started like backstage working on a version of it
by myself, and then I just walked down stage one
(11:11):
night and played it and let it right into A
Long December. So it the end of that song built
and became the intro to A Long December. And I've
been doing it that way for about a year now
and I'm really loving it. I don't know, It's such
a great song and it was a real cool surprise
to then crash it into a Long December and start
that song from there. So I've been doing it that way,
(11:32):
but I've done that with different songs. I remember doing
it with Live Forever, that Oasis song. We were touring Anyone
once and I went, you know, and figured out how
to play Love Forever and then just surprised everybody on
stage at one.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Night with cell phones too. It's got to be different
because if you're gonna go do Taylor the one that's
either gonna go super viral or it's not, it's gonna
be kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, it was kind of cool because at some point
midway through the first verse, I always hear the scream
from a bunch of girls, like it happens because it's
not immediately recognizable as that song because I'm playing it
pretty differently. It's kind of inside out. But at some point,
like two thirds of the way through the third verse
or the first verse, there's just a scream from a
(12:15):
bunch of girls who realize what's going on, and then
I don't know where they're hitting their mom going no,
you don't understand, mom.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How has content creation been for you with music, because
that's different for anybody that was, you know, playing the
nineties and two thousands. I have friends now that are
struggling with man, I have to make content now to
go with my music. How has that been for you
and you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, it's kind of a I was really enthusiastic about
social media when it first started, I was on the
message boards at AOL, you know, in ninety six when
I realized, oh, here's a way to talk directly to fans,
I don't have to go through the press or something.
And then when Twitter came out, I really jumped on that.
But the problem is you're not always at the forefront
(13:01):
of something, Like you're patting yourself on the back for
being on the message boards, you know, ten years before
social media, and then you're patting yourself on the back
for building up Twitter, and you don't realize that Instagram
is the next thing, or you don't or you finally
get a hold of that. And you know, as you're older,
you're not in touch with the same stuff that kids are,
and so you don't realize that TikTok is really important.
(13:23):
You know that it's just inevitable that you fall behind
because you're not keyed into the same you know, zeitgeist
as kids are. But yeah, you just kind of adjust,
you try to. I mean, I think at this point
in my life, I'm always a little behind, which is okay.
It's you know, it's kind of fun to catch up.
Sometimes some of my friends are like, man, I hate
(13:43):
singing into a phone like that. They really have struggle
with like singing in their songs into a phone to
put it on TikTok?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Was that? Ever, when you shot content, do you shoot
it wider because you can shoot a video ish style
or where it doesn't feel as ridiculous, because it does
feel kind of weird to put your phone up and
sing right into it. How are you guys doing that?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well? Early on, I mean, I don't mind singing into
my phone because I was doing it for voice memos.
It was like, Wow, I got a thing I can record,
I work on new songs. I can record and write them.
That seemed like the coolest thing in the world to me.
I didn't need a recording studio. I had my phone.
And then I started doing like it was a little
while to learn how to do all the stuff and
learn to edit. You know, I had to go learn
how to edit stuff, get the editing apps. And I
(14:23):
was making cooking videos because I was bored during the pandemic.
So I was making I was, you know, teaching kind
of cooking lessons on my Instagram. And then you know,
I watch a lot of it. I see people doing
these clips of songs and how you only have to
do a whole song. But clips of songs are really
cool and I kind of like watching them, So, you know,
I wised up to doing that, but it took me
(14:44):
till this record to wise up to doing that. It's
not hard to do them though, sometimes doing my phone.
Sometimes we have a videographer who works with us. He'll
come over and just film me doing stuff, or he
filmed when we were making the record, he was there
with cameras. So you know, lately we've been using clips
of all of us from in the studio that we filmed,
and then I had them come over and shoot a
(15:06):
bunch of clips of me just doing the vocals because
they were a little bit it wasn't as immediate the
clips from the side away from the mic in the studio,
so I wanted to cut a bunch of clips that
just my face doing stuff. I called them up and said,
I want to make videos out of these, but I
don't want to just use the studio footage. I want
to shoot stuff in front of a screen. And so
we did that and we've been putting those up for
(15:27):
Spaceman and now for Under the Aurora.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You mentioned voice notes. So what were you using before
voice notes? Was it just a pad of paper all
that that was a notebook all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, I mean I always use these notebooks. But I
also had there was an app. It was it was
just called like recorder, but it was just an app
that had really good compression on it that you just
pushed record so I could use it on my computer.
Back then, it was a really great It was a
better app than any I've found since then. It just
sort of did it all for. You had a great compression,
(15:58):
a GRADEYQ on it. It was boneheaded. You just pushed
record and play and it did great recordings. I did
a whole record with that app. At one point just
called all my buddy Valentine's. It was like Valentine's the
week before Valentine's Day ten years ago or whenever it was,
and I just said, I'm gonna record a song. I'm
gonna learn to cover a day and record a song
a day for the next week leading up to Valentine's Day.
(16:21):
And I just did seven songs and ended up putting
it out and giving it away to all our fans.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do you have any of your original handwritten lyrics to
any of the old any of the old songs.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh yeah, I've got all these lyric books. Yeah, that
just live somewhere in your house. Yeah, there's like piles
of them. I've always written in these books. So I
have these little ones that they are like spiral binders
that are about that big. They're like for school, you
know notebooks. I use them when I was in college, too.
I don't do it as much anymore. I find the
notes function in my phone is really great because I
just lay around. Also, we've all stopped writing, so writing's
(16:54):
not as like natural as it was. So you know,
with my phone, I can walk around when I'm working
on a song, can just humming stuff to myself and
I just you know, type it into the notes. I
have a lot of lyrics in my notes, but I
still use the notebook for stuff too.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
We were talking a little bit ago about how gen
Z doesn't know has never written a handwritten letter, and
my answer to that was, well, you know, our parents
never churned butter, and I'm sure their generation ahead of
them was like, I can't believe the kids now. I
don't churn butter. So there are certain skills that you
don't have to have you know as time goes by.
I just feel though if I use a like GPS,
(17:30):
I know how to get nowhere because I GPS everywhere.
And if I write everything down onto my phone, like
I write a bunch of joke ideas and on my
phone constantly, but I don't remember stuff as well if
I'm putting it in digitally, does your mind remember the
same digitally as it as handwritten?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
No? I mean I realized last night. I was I
can't remember what I was out to dinner last night,
and my girlfriend was giving her phone number to somebody
like one of our friends. And uh, I suddenly realized, Oh,
that's not cool. You don't know her number. I mean
I knew.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know why I.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Know, like seven or eight number, I wouldn't she was
saying it. I was in my head going, oh, and
then the last two numbers I had wrong, I'm like, Wow,
you don't know your girlfriend's phone number.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I would be in trouble if I were being held hostage.
I know nobody's phone number unless it was from Like
I know my friend Evan's dad's number from when I
was like twelve, Like, I can remember that one, but
I don't know anybody's phone number.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Now, being held hostage comes with a lot of other
problems anyways, But first I need to call somebody. They're like,
they're like, we demand ransom, and I'm like, I don't
know how to get ahold of anybody. And that's kind
of the cops. Give you one call. I don't know
about hostages. Sometimes they do, but what if they just
don't like you.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Then they will not want to ransom and you're not hostage,
you're just dead. Yeah, then you're just dead.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, it's there's a lot of problems of the hostage
situation above and be on the phones. But I get
your point.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Did you watch Why Lotus last night?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
But I did? I did?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You did?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, No, I'm not done yet. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Then I was a little disappointed.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But we're not giving any answers, not saying anything, but
a lot of people. So I watched the whole thing, right,
My wife had already watched all of it, and I
just wanted to watch the finale with her. So I
did like seven episodes this past weekend just to totally
catch up. And I was told by a lot of
people season three was pretty slow. I felt Season three
(19:14):
the people in it, and again no spoilers, not to
be as gross as seasons one and two, just generally,
you know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's the weird thing. Season one had like six episodes
and season two had seven. Season three had eight, and
I thought six would have been great for all of them.
They'd just be he's a really, really, really good writer,
and somehow expanding it just kind of I don't want to.
It's such a good show. I had never watched it,
and then this year I never My girlfriend talked me
into watching it, and we watched the first season like
(19:41):
binged it, second season binged it. Third season got through
two episodes and I was like what, and she said, oh, no,
that's that's where we're up to right now. Why are
we watching it? You know? I don't. I like to
binge everything, you know, and she so, then I've been
doing it every week. I'm not sure whether it's distorting
how it feels to me because I have to wait
(20:01):
for it. It felt really padded.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I did all binge all three seasons, and I finally
finished right before the finale. So my feeling was my yeah,
season three people didn't feels gross, felt pretty good about it.
That's cool. But there was I never felt the need
to get back to it, but I did enjoy it
while it was on. It was one of those weird,
slow burned shows for me.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I love the other seasons. I just like, I kind
of felt like also, I felt like there's a lot
of padding this season. But I was also thinking, well,
I bet the ending it will be great, you know there,
because we're gonna get there finally. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
We don't worrybody, We're not gonna saying about it. We're
not gonna say it. No, no, no spoiling there. What
else do you guys watch?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Like? Did you watch Severance? Watch the first season and
I thought that was incredible.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
One of my favorite seasons ever of any show.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And we're gonna I think we're gonna watch the second
season after this. We just watched is it Black Doves?
That Kieran also that was great, freaking awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'd be a Black Dove. I'd be good at that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah you would, Yeah, I mean, as long as you're
not held hostage. Yeah, well, I just didn't know a
phone number if I'm held hostage. How does writing songs
now compare to writing songs twenty years ago? You know,
we talked about the difference in digitally or writing it
with a hand, But like, do you feel the need
and do you schedule writing now or can you only
just go when you feel like it. I just write
(21:17):
when I feel I don't write a lot. As soon
as I started touring and really being in this band,
I stopped writing all the time. I wrote every day
for you know, ten years before that when I started
writing songs. But then I can't really write on tour
because I don't play guitar. I play piano and poorly
at that, And then I so I wouldn't write for
(21:38):
like a year and a half because we'd be on tour.
So I tend to Ever since then, I've tended to
just kind of not write for a year or two
and then write with ten songs whatever the record is,
and sometimes there's an extra song or two, but not many.
I want to write a lot of extras. So it
was different this time because I I wrote it. I
(22:00):
just think the I've been sort of changing some of
the ways I write and sort of my the music
I was writing was a little more ambitious than my
ability to play it, and so I couldn't really tell
how the songs were I finally I sat on them
for a couple of years because I hadn't have a
lot of confidence in them. And then I called the
guys up and said, I wrote, We'd love for me
(22:22):
to z from this the first song on the record,
and I knew I loved it, and I thought, I
got to figure out what I'm doing with the rest
of the songs. And I called, you know Immer and
a couple of other guys are bass player and drummer,
and said, just I need everybody to come to my
house for a week. I just need to play this
stuff with you. I need to hear how it is
with the band and then I'll know. And when as
soon as we started playing it, I was like, oh wow,
this is I love this stuff, but this is the
first time. A lot of it was in my head,
(22:43):
like I couldn't really play it, but I knew it,
I knew how it was supposed to go. Had the chords,
I just my ability to play piano. I couldn't do
these songs. And so I was carrying around in my
head until I heard them play it. I describe what
I wanted and it was great and I was really excited.
But that that hadn't really happened.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Before the with Love from A to Z whenever, because
I've listened whenever the first half came out, it was
all one track. Loved that, thought it was super cool,
and then I guess then it split up into songs later.
I will shout out the name Bobby uh two references
on this record.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, I know it was very inspired by you know,
the last time we were hanging out.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Thank you very much, well Bobby and the Right Kings
I think was already exist existent when we hung out
last time, but this one, but I knew we were
gonna hang out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew it was
gonna happen. Spaceman of Tulsa, I get a shout out
as well, you're back, Yes, I'm back baby.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So when you do new records, how how many of
these songs do you put in a set list tonight?
You have so many songs to kind of jump between.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I don't know. I mean the sweet I really only
liked playing the suite altogether. The guys that tried to
get me to like just play single songs, but I
really like it all is one, So that's a chunk.
If you're going to play that. I mean, that's twenty
minutes of the show right there.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I guess it depends on the night We'll start doing
it and you stick them in.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's weird, you know, like we're you want to play
your whole new record. But sometimes there was a time
we could do that when everyone was buying all the
records and everybody knew all the songs. So maybe if
Spaceman and Tulsa blows up to the roof or under
the Aurora does, or one of them does, we can
just play the whole record for people.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What's the song that you hear out randomly the most
of ours?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, I suppose it's probably mister Jones. I hear long
December a lot. Especially. It's become kind of a Christmas standard,
Like every like holiday season, it seems like everybody's covering
it and it shows up like on TikTok and on Instagram,
you know, people playing it. This year m J. Linderman
was doing a version right around Christmas and Gracy Abrams
(24:39):
sanging it. I saw that benefit for the fires.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It was awesome. What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That was cool? Yeah, I mean I always think it's cool.
I don't know. I think our songs are kind of
weird sometimes that you know, my phrasing's a little difficult.
I don't, I don't. I don't hear a lot of
people covering us except in bars sometimes, you know, where
you don't necessarily want to hear it as much. But
have you been at a Barnhart someone covering it? Yeah?
And sometimes it's really good that I heard a version
of around here a while ago that was like, wow,
(25:05):
that that was really good, actually suppressed.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Do you tell them it's you?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, No, Well I used to have it used to
be obvious it was me before I shaved off the dreads,
like it was, there was no question it was me.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Then.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I think I'm a little more anonymous now I think
I'm a lot more anonymous now.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Was that a big decision to cut off the dreads?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Not really. I felt it wasn't a big decision to me.
I just felt like I was excited. I mean, it
wasn't really that. I just kind of did it on
a whim, you know, like, uh, But I think it
was a big decision for a lot of other people somehow.
And I get asked about it a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
One of my neighbors lives a few houses down is
t Bow and Burnett. Oh really yeah, and he was
that he was over a few weeks ago. We were
talking about August and everything after and the Wallflowers. What
was working with him like as a producer, that's a
long time ago.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I mean it was cool. He's really good. He's got
you know, there's a lot of producers that just have
like a sound like they've got a studio trick that
they do and that's what they their records sound like.
T Bone's not really quantifiable like that. He he helps
you figure out who you are and who you want
to be on a record. I think he's really It's
why he's worked with a lot of bands on their
(26:16):
first records. It made a lot of really good first
records with bands because I think he really helps you
define yourself. He's got a thing that, you know, an
understanding of music that not everybody has. He's really really
good at that.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He brought the coolest friend over, which is Ringo Star.
They came over together. That's pretty that's a strong friend
or guest. Yeah, that's that's a strong friend who was
responsible for putting you as background vocals of sixth Avenue Heartache.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, you know, uh, the Wallflowers had made their first
album on Virgin and it's a really good record, but
it didn't really make much of an impression. It's it's
it's not. It didn't really sum up who they were.
And Jake and I were friends. I was bartending at
the Viper Room and he was there a lot, and
we would talk about, you know, what we were doing.
And he asked me at one point, I think if
I had any advice about that, and I said, well,
(27:05):
you know, t Bone is really good. What I just
told you is like helping you define yourself. And I
felt like that's kind of what that record needed. That
he's a real unique guy and a unique songwriter and singer,
and that didn't get brought out as much on that
first record, and so I suggested T Bone. And you
know a few months later, I was at home. I
lived in Laurel Canyon then, and I got a phone
(27:26):
call from either T Bone or Andy Slater, who is
Jake's manager, and they're like, we have we're working on
this song and it's just not singing yet. You know,
do you want to come down and singing? I was like,
which song is SI six ave new Hardeck. I said,
I don't really know that one, because I knew a
lot of the Jake songs that he was working on.
And he said, well, will you just come down the hill?
(27:46):
And so I went down and had a beer and
listened to it, and then had a beer and sang
it a couple of times and left. I mean it
just felt great. I mean it was like that. They
just felt like we figured out eas exactly. That was
just what that song needed. It was a great song.
It just needed something to pick up the chorus, and
it just felt great right away. I think I only
(28:07):
sang it once or twice, and then I went back
home and it turned out great. How long until you
actually hear it? I think they sent me a copy,
like the next day I got it. But I heard
it right then and we went into the controller matter
I sang it. It sounded great. I mean, that's like
he's got Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers playing the guitars
on that song. It's a really good band. I think
Ben montangees on that one too, from the Heartbreakers. I
(28:31):
don't know about that, but yeah, it just felt great.
I knew it was great right away. It just felt
really like sometimes you just figure out the right thing
to sing and makes it makes it work.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
SNL just did their fifty years You Guys performance on
SNL one of them. I'm not sure how any you did.
I just popped up on my TikTok the other day.
This guy named Huggy posts all the music performances on TikTok.
What do you remember from SNL.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It was a rough week. It had a really hard
time we had. We had said no for a long
time when they asked us because we were just sort
of like we wanted to play around here at Mister Jones.
We wanted to play round Here first. We didn't want
to edit the songs we had. Both Lettermen and SNL
were asking us to be on and we just were
(29:18):
really determined to do it the right way. It was
going to be our first appearance ever on television.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
They wanted to edit it for time.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, they wanted both have medited. They wanted Mister Jones first.
I really wanted to play round Here first. I didn't
want to edit the songs, and so we kind of
negotiated with both shows for the longest time until SNL agreed, Okay,
yeah you can. You can play them the way you
want to and you can play around here first. And
then we got there that week and they were like, oh,
by the way, we changed our mind and I was
(29:43):
like no, and they said, yeah, I know, we're going
to have to do it this way, and I said, no,
we're doing it this way. It's okay, we'll leave, but
we're not doing that. And it was just a difficult week,
fighting with them all week, and then it was great.
We played great. It made our career. I'll say that
it made our career because we weren't even in the
top two hundred, and that record jumped forty spots a
(30:06):
week for five weeks after we played Saturday Night Live
and until we were at number two for the next
two years. I mean it made our career.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
What'd you play first?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Round Here? Yeah, I mean it was great. It was
It was perfect because like mister Jones is a great song,
it really is. But there's a lot of songs like
mister Jones that are just catchy, you know, kind of
rock tunes. But round Here is unique, you know, and
I think it just like this is who we are.
It's it's not what you've been hearing before, and it
completely made our career. We were not even in the
(30:38):
top two hundred before we played SNL and you know,
a month later we were at number ten and then
number two or something like that, and you know, but
it was a difficult week. I went there once. My
friend was Ian McKellen's agent, and when like all the
Lord of the Ring movies are coming out, he hosted
and there was this one producer who kept getting sent
to do all the talking to us, you know, and
(30:59):
I was in the green room because they wanted me
to come. I had never been back since then, so
it is like eight years later, and I saw this
guy walk by in the hallway and then he came
back and he's like, whoa, I never thought i'd see
you again. That's going on. And I was like, uh, nothing,
just my friend represents Ian and he's like, oh cool, well,
(31:20):
you know, no hard feelings. I was like, no, that's fine, man,
all right, do you want to get high? I was like, no,
that's cool, I'm right, okay, cool, see you later.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
It was weird.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I was like the he'd look on his face and
he's like, wow, I never thought i'd see you again.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
That's funny. Yeah, the record. So it's the completion of
the twenty twenty one right, So that's what it seems
like to me. So it's the rest of that. This
is all one album. So why was this a whole
body of work that you, you know, had been working on
(31:53):
and recording and now you're done with it. Or to
just keep going after twenty twenty one and keep building
on that. No, I just wrote the sweet It was
really like a standalone thing. And then we were interrupted
by the pandemic anyways, and then when the pandemic was over,
I went back to my friends. He's got a farm
in the west of.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
England, which is where I wrote the whole suite, and
I worked and I wrote a lot of this stuff,
and on the way home, I stopped in London and
sing on my friend's record. They've got this band, Gang
of Youths, Australian band. They live in London now. And
when I got home from that a little while later,
they sent me the record and it was so good.
It's called Angel in Real Time. And I just had
(32:32):
this thought like, Wow, these songs aren't as good as
their songs. I thought this stuff was really great, but
I'm seeing it in perspective compared to their stuff. You know,
I need it needs some work. And I actually went
back to the drawing board and I rewrote the chorus
for under the Aurora, like I rewrote a bunch of
the stuff, and I thought it was really good at
that point. But that's kind of why I didn't have
a lot of confidence in it, and I sort of
(32:52):
sat on it for two years before I wrote with
Love from A to Z and then called the guys,
like I told you, Uh, but it was a new
experience I've never had before. I've never kind of like
finished things and thought, oh wait, they're not that they're
not good enough. But that's kind of why it took
a little longer. But the originally I was just writing
(33:13):
the suite, but then I wanted to write this stuff
to go along with it.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You mentioned you had a Taylor Swifts tour. What did
you see there that was inspiring?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It was just really well thought out, you know. I mean,
I write songs and sing, and there's a lot that
goes into a concert that has to do with like
set design. We don't do a ton of that. If
you want to do visuals and videos, and stuff. There's
a lot of thought that has to go into what's
the right visual to put behind your song? And I
(33:42):
know how complex that thought process can be. And we
don't do a lot of video. We're generally set moods
with lights. But the thought that had gone into the
visual presentations at that tour, like how it was really moving.
It was really really good. And this combination of the sets,
(34:05):
the incredible video presentation, the movement on stage, the whole thing.
There's just a lot of complex creative thought that goes
into making a show like that. You know, it's it's
practically like making an entire movie, you know, and also
it's three plus hours long. It's a lot you know that.
I was really impressed with the amount of creative people
(34:28):
from different disciplines that had come together and made that
really impressive show that wasn't just like laserium, you know,
like lasers like you know you see it. It was
like moving. Each song was really thought out. All the
things that went into each song were really thought out,
and they really worked. I was just very impressed by it.
It's not the kind of show we put on, but
(34:50):
I thought it was brilliant, you know.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
One of the old Man. Things that I say kids
miss out on now are the secret tracks. And there's
a couple of different secret tracks that I think of
with you guys, And one was the maybe it was
Hard Candy you hold down the fast forward and you
guys did the Joni Mitchell song before Vanessa Carlton came on?
Was that Hard Candy? Get the end of Hard Candy?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Or yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
We had to rush out the initial pressings of that record,
so we didn't have Vanessa's parts on there yet.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I think you had to like hold down the fast
forward but just barely to get to it or let it.
You fall asleep with it on and then all of
a sudden the song startles you. But even before that, when.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
It was the what I Want Wow in the Desert Life.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, and at the end of that that that that
art is no longer because now if there's a track
that's seventeen minutes long, you just see that and you're like, well,
why would you guys pick those songs to do hidden
and who was the one that suggested to do it
hidden track?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Well, sometimes it's just something I really like that doesn't
work in the flow of the record, like it just
didn't feel like part of the record. Like Kid Things
on a Desert Life just didn't feel like part of
the record. But I really loved it, and thematically it
was part of the record, but it was done really low,
and it just it didn't fit in the I tried
to fit in the flow, and I couldn't sequence it.
(36:05):
I mean, I know nobody listens to records anymore, but
I really like to make records and I want you
to be able to sit down and listen to it
all the way through, even if nobody's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's what I really like. I like making that work.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And sometimes I just couldn't get a song to fit,
which meant I left a couple of songs I love
off records, and I hit a couple just because that
seemed kind of fun. It was like a nice Easter
egg for fans. That was the thing with the with
the Kid Things, it just didn't it fits thematically, but
it didn't It didn't flow in the record. But uh,
(36:39):
big yell A Taxi was different because we just spent
this one weekend doing all these covers for B sides.
When we were while we were mixing the record, we
were like in another little room just cutting cover songs,
and uh, that just turned it. We had this kind
of acoustic hip hop version of Big Yellow Taxi that
we play in concert, but we wanted to try doing
(37:00):
a remix with it. We like went out to Pharrell
back then it was just starting in the Neptunes, then
went back to him, Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis from
the time, but we weren't able to sort of get
any of it done in time. And Ron Fair came
and said, Hey, I know you've been doing this with
all these other guys, but I actually did a version
and I think it works really well. And he sent
(37:22):
it to me and I was like, oh, that does work.
That's really cool. Thanks, And then he wanted to have
someone sing on it. And right before we were mixing
Hard Candy, he was in there mixing a record with
this with Vanessa Carlton, her first record, you know. And
I had heard a bunch of it because he was
in there, you know, and Jack jose Pleegu had played
me some of her songs, thought that they were really good,
(37:43):
and I knew that I had to leave for tour
before we were going to be able to finish it,
and I thought it might be intimidating for someone to
come in and sing on one of our tracks, but
he could get a lot out of a woman he
had just worked with. Well, she would be comfortable enough
with him to actually like improv on our track, and
she did. Yeah, it worked out great. It's funny because
she was this total unknown singer and then by the
time it came out, she was very popular.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
The complete Sweet comes up May ninth. Man, you guys
are doing a lot of shows too. Do you do
the touring where you just go away and don't come
back for a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah? Mostly, Yeah, we the weekend, this sort of a
Nashville thing, I know.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, it's Friday, Saturday, maybe maybe Thursday, maybe Sunday. But
back home. Yeah, that sounds very convenient. Yeah it is. Yeah,
so you guys just go because you guys are going
like Europe too, the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah, we're doing the whole summer is gone. We're out
on the tour in America. You know, we passed through
home wherever your home is, you usually pass through it,
and then we'll go to Europe in the fall.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
That's pretty cool. A lot of day it's from June
and we'll put them up in the notes here on
the podcast. But from June, yeah, all the way up
until November. Yeah, yeah, until it gets cold.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Do you do cold weather shows or most of your
show's amphitheaters?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, not during the summer, but other times a year.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Do you ever play? You ever play a long December?
And December in the crowd goes ah, like just because
you yelled December, it's like yelling a city when you're
in it.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, like he said, our month, he said our month.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
This is crazy. I should write one for each month
because then I would have hits any time of the year.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Yeah, that would be good. Uh, we're gonna play some
some music here in just a second.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
By the way, I should tell you not that it matters.
I looked it matters me. It doesn't matter. But this
was the first book ever wrote, and it was bestseller
for a little bit. It's pretty cool. I'm pretty proud
of it. But I thank you guys in the back
of the book. Really I did, Can I have a copy?
Well you don't want? No, No, it's not sure you
can have a copy. But it wasn't for that. I
just I it was laying here by my foot, and
I was like, you know, because you guys are you
(39:36):
guys are my favorite band of all time, And so
I said, I wonder if I thanked them in the
credits like the book, and I did. You're on the
back page when I was like, hey, I want to
think kind of cross.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I mean, you came to that show in Nashville a
few years ago and they told me you were there,
but then you didn't come backstage.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, because I don't want to be that guy like
I just want to and honestly, and I think you'll
understand this, I didn't want to not like you because
I love I love my relationship with your music, and
I didn't want to not like you. And so I
was like, you know what, I'm good because the place
I'm in now with Count of Crows, it couldn't be better.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
I hear you, I hear you. If you come backstage
at some point, I promise not to be well.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Now I like you, though now I'm feel good about it.
But that was really the reason. They were like, you
want to go meet at him and I was like, no,
I just enjoyed the show. I was like, I do
not because right now I love Adam. He might be
well and not even that, but like I intured doing
stand up, and some days you just don't feel good.
Some day that's true, and so I just didn't want
it to be there. So next time I probably still won't.
But right NOW'M gonna say, well, can I have.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
A book or else?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Ye? Now, I'll give you a book.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I want a book. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
They were thanking in the back of the book.
Speaker 6 (40:41):
I how did you like?
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I said, I just thanked him for the music for
like all the you know, I mean.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
You read it, read it?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Okay, what if it's like Adam, I'm in love with you.
Also a big sad hug of the County Crows for
making lots of great music that makes me sad by
feeling happy, by feeling sad.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Actually that's pretty great. Actually yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, because I mean that's how I felt. So I
got a little choked out. That was actually pretty good.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Well, thank you well, and I'll clarify some importance behind that.
Some of Bobby's upbringing, you can have a lot of
space to feel, so I think your music gave him
that space to feel sad.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Hug all around. I'm not making funny you. That's actually
really sweet. I'm kind of touched by that.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
But any hug at all was happy for me.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And now we're going too far.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
That's right, Okay, okay, welcome back everybody. We have Miles here.
Who I met Miles in Las Vegas. Miles, everybody, prepare yourself.
He has a British accent. Miles. How's it going?
Speaker 9 (41:51):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (41:51):
How are you good?
Speaker 3 (41:52):
So?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
But he lives in Canada, but you grew up where.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
So it's complicated. I was born in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Oh, it's not British, my bad.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
No, it is. Scotland's in the UK, so any country
in the UK's is considered British.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Oh by what about Scottish.
Speaker 9 (42:07):
Yeah, that's like you can be English from England. Yes,
England is also in the UK, so that's still British. Okay,
you can be sco Scottish from Scotland. Scotland is also
in the UK.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
It could be Welsh, so it'd be like an American accent,
but an American Southern accent.
Speaker 9 (42:23):
Sure, okay, yeah, but my accent's all messed up because
I was born in Scotland, grew up in England. I
moved over to the Middle East. I was in Dubai
for six years when I was eighteen.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
So at eighteen years old, you moved to Dubai.
Speaker 9 (42:35):
Yeah for what? Radio?
Speaker 2 (42:37):
So you decided at eighteen that you wanted to pursue
a career and why Dubai? Was that the first job?
And how'd you find a job in Dubai?
Speaker 9 (42:43):
It was crazy? So I'm a radio nepo baby. My
dad is in radio where in Scotland? So he's been
a morning show host for like forty years wow, and
now he's in management. So for years, like out of school,
when I was internal and stuff, I was always Robin's kid.
Oh you're Robinson, you know, and I kind of wanted
(43:05):
to move away and become my own man.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Gets no further than going to the Middle East. Yeah,
So how did you find a job there? And what?
I don't know. I think I'd be scared to go.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
So basically, when my dad was doing a morning show,
I was telling this to Amy off the air. He
was doing a contest with a new airline and they
offered him some flights to like New York, I think Brussels,
like Belgium and Dubai and it was right before nine
to eleven, so him and my mum originally picked New York.
Then nine to eleven happened. He was like, well, we're
not going to go there anymore. Let's try Dubai. So
(43:35):
they went to Dubai, went for a week, had an
amazing time. When they came back, the sales rep was like,
how was it. Did you enjoy the campaign, the flights
and everything, and they were like, yeah, it was great.
But they were like dredging for oil off the coast
of the hotel in the beach, and they were like,
that's not dredging for oil. They're building a man made
island called the Palm. It's like a palm tree with
like it's insane. It looks like something up like the
(43:57):
Sims or something. It's crazy. My mom and dad bought
a place in Dubai off plan when they were building
that man made island. So then every single school vacation
we would go there every single time, like Easter, Summer, Christmas.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Even how far away is that from where you were?
Speaker 9 (44:14):
Seven hours?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Oh not even that bad. That's closer than if we
went to Hawaii.
Speaker 9 (44:18):
Yeah, seven hours, four hour time difference. And basically when
this one time, this easter vacation we were there. I
think it was twenty eleven, maybe even early twenty ten,
there was this volcano in Iceland that erupted. This is
the most far fair story ever, by the way, but
there was a volcanic ash cloud that shut down the
entire European airspace. So my dad was stuck there for
(44:39):
over two weeks. He was off his morning show and
everyone was talking about it. It was like a really big,
big story. So he wanted to find a studio in
Dubai to get on the air and broadcast to Scotland
and do his morning show. So I went in with him,
kind of, you know, just shadowing him, I guess, and
they were like, what do you do? And I was
like seventeen at the time. I was like, I'm still
in school, but I really want to get into radio.
(45:00):
And they said, would you consider coming out and doing
like a summer internship? And I was like absolutely.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
And at this point you already felt comfortable in Dubai
because you had been so many times exactly.
Speaker 9 (45:08):
Yeah, So I did kind of know my way around,
and I knew to be respectful and you know how
the lulls work and stuff. Because it is kind of
it's very conservative, like compared to what it used to
be for the Middle East, but it's definitely different. You know,
you can't talk about alcohol, you can't talk about gambling
and all those kind of things.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
As in on the air or in general both kind of.
Speaker 9 (45:30):
Well yeah, mostly on the air, I mean.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, okay. So you're like, okay, cool. And so when
you turn eighteen, they offer you a job.
Speaker 9 (45:37):
Yeah, morning show producer like on air slash morning show producer.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
And what did your dad say about you moving to
Dubai after having been there a bunch times. It's different
being on vacation or holiday as you guys call it.
What do you say about moving there?
Speaker 9 (45:51):
He thought it was cool because they still had their
place there, so they lived. Yeah, until they kicked me
out and they were like, okay, we want it back
now this is our holiday spot, you know.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
So how long were you in Dubai.
Speaker 9 (46:01):
I was there for like five six years?
Speaker 2 (46:03):
And what was your ascent? Like in radio? There were
you producer the whole time? And then you left Dubai
to go get a different job or did you move
into a different role to the station.
Speaker 9 (46:11):
I moved into a different role I actually moved from
one station to another to like the biggest station out there,
which is Virgin Radio. So I was there. There's a
guy that does the morning show host. He's a good
friend of mine. He's called Chris Fade. He's like a
really big Australian radio personality in Dubai. He's like the
Ryan Seacrest of the Middle East, but he's Australian. Yeah,
and they accept that he's Australian Lebanese, which really works
(46:31):
because he's got like the kind of western side of
it of his heritage, and then he's also got like
the Middle Eastern side, so he really just talks to
a lot of a lot of the demographic there.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
So you worked for him.
Speaker 9 (46:41):
I worked with him. He was the assistant program director
at the time, and then I was doing the night show.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Okay, so you had your own show then, yeah, and
so you're there and then when do you leave? And
why do you leave?
Speaker 9 (46:51):
I got fired for doing what I just really didn't
get on with the program director. Personality company, yeah, personality conflict.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Yeah, and then you're like, what now, what.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
Do I do?
Speaker 9 (47:01):
I moved back to the UK. I didn't want to go.
I didn't want to stay there. I went through a
breakup as well. I kind of had a little bit
to do with it.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
So I want to just sidetracked for a second. Dude
to me, I've never been to Dubai. Just from what
I see about it on the news, it doesn't feel
like it'd be super safe.
Speaker 9 (47:19):
Is it so safe?
Speaker 2 (47:20):
More safe than even here?
Speaker 9 (47:22):
Define safe? Are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Like, I don't know. I don't want to get scooped
up and then thrown into a Dubai penitentiary and chop
my head off because because I showed my knee in
public or something.
Speaker 9 (47:33):
Have you ever been arrested here? No, So you'll never
get arrested there. Just don't do anything you wouldn't do
in your normal daily life.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
And but I want to you want to go do
buy and go crazy anyway?
Speaker 7 (47:43):
So I could, So I could.
Speaker 5 (47:44):
Urinate in an alley behind a building there.
Speaker 6 (47:46):
I mean, you can't do that here.
Speaker 7 (47:48):
But I've never been arrested for it.
Speaker 9 (47:49):
But like, don't get caught basically, so just don't be
so are there bars?
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah? Loads?
Speaker 9 (47:55):
Yeah, It's like that was my like university, that was
my college being in Dubai because I was a team,
right so that was like my going out partying and
having fun. I was also DJing after the show as
well in clubs and stuff, and I had the best time.
It was crazy. I used to have friends that come
over and they'd be like, you live like this, this
is crazy. I'd be like, no, I'm only doing this
because you're here.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
So do you feel like the representation of it because
it's in the Middle East is a bit unfair?
Speaker 9 (48:18):
One hundred percent? I think when I say yeah, Like
I started off by saying I moved to the Middle East,
what I should have said was I moved to Dubai
because I think when people hear the Middle East, especially
in North America, they're like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah I do. Even when you go Dubai, I'm like,
whoa Middle East. But ye, you have to be really
rich to live there because I see all the really
expensive things.
Speaker 9 (48:35):
Hey, it's tax free.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
What do you mean no tax? Like no income tax? Yeah,
no sales tax. Uh.
Speaker 9 (48:42):
They introduced like the smallest like luxury goods tax. I
think it's like two point five percent or something, but
no tax.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Wow. Yeah, that was fun looking up jobs now.
Speaker 9 (48:52):
I always tell everyone it balances out right because you're
spending so much money. It's really expensive there, especially if
you want to drink out there. It's really expensive because
everything's being important. Nothing's grown there. Really, it's difficult to like, yeah,
to make things there.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Would you ever want to go back and live there?
Speaker 1 (49:07):
No?
Speaker 9 (49:07):
But I really appreciate it going back now and enjoying
it as what it is designed for. And it's designed
to be a vacation place, so you will go back
one hundred percent. I got engaged there to my Canadian fiance.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
So you okay, so we're gonna get to Canada. So
you moved back to the.
Speaker 9 (49:21):
UK, which part this place in England called Gloucester, tiny
tiny place, tiny radio market.
Speaker 2 (49:27):
Well okay, so to do radio, Yeah, to do a
morning show, So you're doing mornings in Gloucester.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (49:32):
Is it Gloucester, England, UK?
Speaker 9 (49:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (49:34):
And how'd that go?
Speaker 9 (49:35):
It went really well for a year. I had the
best on air year I think in terms of like
growth and learning how to do a solo morning show
just me and a producer. I loved it. It was
for a really big brand, but one of their local affiliates.
The funny thing is my dad was on one of
those local affiliates too doing a morning show. We were
doing the same hours, playing the same songs in two
(49:58):
different markets at the same time for the same brand.
The station was, So you.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Aren't competing aast each other. You've never work up for
the same company, Yeah, got it? Yeah, And so how
long were you there until you moved?
Speaker 9 (50:07):
I was there for a year and then all of
a sudden, I think there was twenty five local morning shows.
We attended this group like programming meeting, and everyone kind
of knew that they were going to scrap one of
the local shows. We just didn't know which one. We
thought it was going to be afternoon Drive, but it
was mornings. So they canned twenty five morning shows like that.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
You and your dad, Yeah, yeah, same time.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (50:32):
My mom was like, oh, so then what happened? The
next day we got told to go back on the air.
We started to work out like the rest of the
couple months, knowing that we were just losing our jobs.
The next day, I was with my producer in the
studio and he was like, well, what are you going
to do? And I was like, I don't know. I'm
going to look at like see who I know and
where they are in the world. I don't want to
(50:52):
go back to Dubai. I was like, I've been there,
have done that. I always wanted to move to the US,
but it's really difficult with visa, especially if you don't
really have any experience over there yet. But with Canada,
the UK and Canada, they're in the Commonwealth, so your
passport kind of works and it's easy to get a visa.
So basically, I knew that my old program director who's
(51:14):
hired me in Dubai was in Vancouver. He was working
for a station called Kiss. So I booked a flight
to Vancouver on my own. I gave myself a month
flying back from Toronto, so kind of west coast, east coast,
with no plan in the middle, and I just thought
I'd network the hell out of it and try and
meet as many people as I could, you know, just
try and you know, hey, can I can I meet you?
(51:34):
Can we go for a coffee? Can we go for
a drink? This is what I do. You know, I've
got my show real I've been in Dubai.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Do you save up money from your jobs? Do you
have enough saved up to do this?
Speaker 9 (51:42):
They gave us like severance pay from that morning show,
so I used all of it for that, so it
was like all or nothing.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Really.
Speaker 9 (51:48):
On my last day in Toronto, I met my NOW
program director and it really worked out well. It was
right before COVID. They hired me and I was like, perfect,
I'll take the job. Went back to the UK, got
my visa. That was in July twenty nineteen, and I
moved there in September twenty nineteen, so you've been there.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
I saw a video of you in Richard Branson, which
I thought the picture of first was a fake plastic
or like a wax. Richard Branson was he was literally
at your station. Yeah yeah, yeah, So he's the big,
big big he oounds Virgin right because.
Speaker 9 (52:18):
I'm at Virgin Radio. So he came out because his airline,
Virgin Atlantic, had reintroduced the service from Toronto to London
Heathrow in England, so he was promoting that. So it's
part with that, you know. Whenever he's in town, you know,
I'm sure he's been at the Virgin hotel down the street.
I'm staying there here in Nashville for free. I got
(52:40):
a good deal.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
His room has like a pole in the it's pretty nice. Yeah,
the room. Yeah, like on the tights on the top
of the hole. Anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (52:49):
He's pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (52:50):
So yeah, I interviewed him when he came out. I'd
already met him before because he came out to Dubai
for the ten year anniversary of that station in Dubai
and we did a broadcast from the top of the
tallest skuy scraper in the world. It's called the Bersh
Khalifa and that was real fun. So yeah, I met
some amazing people along the way.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
And how long have you been at the station?
Speaker 1 (53:07):
Now?
Speaker 9 (53:07):
Five years? Just over five years? And what's you're all,
I'm the national night show host so.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
And what uh top forty yeah, top forty yeah, so
twelve twelve stations. I would imagine anybody in Canada then
that's going to do interviews comes by where you are
if you're there, Yeah, especially in Toronto. Yeah, Like you
get to see a lot of cool people. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (53:26):
The cool thing about Toronto as well is if you're
into movies, Mike, uh, the Toronto International Film Festival TIFF
is one of the biggest film festivals in the world,
so we get loads of stars coming in September for that.
But then Outside of that, we've also got a huge
number of huge venues that you know ours per format.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
And a couple of questions about living in Canada. It's cold.
Speaker 9 (53:48):
It is cold, and I made the mistake of visiting
first in July.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
When it wasn't as Oh yeah, yeah, what a mistake.
What outdoor sports do they do up there?
Speaker 9 (53:58):
They ski? They snowboard.
Speaker 2 (53:59):
What about there's really no golf? Right, Yeah, there's golf,
but I mean for like a window, I mean the
windows like open and close. Right.
Speaker 9 (54:05):
The courses are just about to open at the end
of the month.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
What about pickleball?
Speaker 9 (54:09):
Yeah, it's big, it's big, and uh, paddle pedal Yeah,
pedel paddle.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
I don't know, but it's basically similar. It's awesome because
you bounce it off walls and stuff. Yeah, we don't
have that here, but it's like racketball meets kind of
a paddle ball type thing.
Speaker 9 (54:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
Uh do you play? Do you play those?
Speaker 4 (54:23):
No?
Speaker 9 (54:23):
I don't. I play golf.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
I play golf, you do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (54:26):
How can you play golf if it's only like for
three months a year?
Speaker 9 (54:28):
It's quick. Yeah, you got to get out there as
much as you can.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
Yeah, So Miles and I met at iHeart Festival in Vegas,
and we were just walking to the hall and I
stopped and talk about them, and I was like, hey, man,
if you want to come and just like see what
we're doing, I don't know that'll help, but come come by.
And so he came down and flew out for a
couple of days.
Speaker 9 (54:46):
I feel like Charlie in the Chilcolip Factory. I've been
I've been listening to this show since when you guys
were on Top forty when I was in Dubai. Actually,
the reason I found you, I think I was just
looking for like radio shows to listen to them way
in because with the time difference, you know, we use
like prep sites and prep sheets. For those of you
who aren't in the industry, there's loads of prep that
(55:08):
you can get from morning shows. Most of them are
tailored for morning shows. But by the time I was
on the air doing a night show, it was already
like done.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
It was like news.
Speaker 9 (55:15):
It was old news. So I would always listen to
like West Coast or not West Coast, but like Western
time Zone or North American radio shows. I found you, guys,
and like I stole, tell me something good and loads
of stuff like that. So yeah, I always I always
remember listening to you guys, and yeah, just never never stopped.
(55:36):
Really And when I remember your last show on Top
forty radio moving to country, and I was like, wow,
I was like, do they know country music? I feel
like all I've heard them is talk about Kesha and
Justin Timberlake Justin Bieber Yeah, but you guys have You've
absolutely killed it. So congrats.
Speaker 2 (55:53):
That last show's funny. I have a picture in my
house in the last show that's in an office. I
haven't thought. I hadn't thought about that last show until
you brought it up last time we were talking, because
you had said you'd heard that show.
Speaker 9 (56:02):
I remember when you all left the studio one.
Speaker 2 (56:04):
By one, one by one.
Speaker 7 (56:06):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 9 (56:07):
I was in a coffee shop and dude by crying
listening to that. Yeah, I still remember it.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
That's awesome. So this is how crazy his workplace is.
They did one day allowed him to come down here
and he's working from studios here. Did they pay for
you to come down here?
Speaker 9 (56:23):
I know, I just paid my flights. I got a
really good deal in the on the hotel.
Speaker 6 (56:26):
Do you fly down here, Virgin.
Speaker 9 (56:28):
No, no, no, no, no air Canady have that here?
Speaker 5 (56:31):
Did?
Speaker 1 (56:31):
Well?
Speaker 2 (56:31):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (56:33):
I think there's Virgin America. I took in New York.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
To l a flight with no I mean fore no,
maybe not to Nashville. I've flown Virgin America before. It's awesome.
It's like lights. Yeah, when you walk there's like red lights,
green lights.
Speaker 9 (56:44):
I believe they were one of the first airlines. I
think Virgin Atlantic to have a stand up bar like
in the eighties.
Speaker 7 (56:51):
That's smart.
Speaker 9 (56:51):
That's on the plane.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 7 (56:53):
We need to bring that back.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (56:54):
Hey, how far is Toronto from here?
Speaker 6 (56:57):
Long?
Speaker 1 (56:57):
Two hours? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (56:58):
New York stop it.
Speaker 9 (56:59):
Yeah, you should come in hours. Yeah, come up to Toronto.
Just don't come in winter.
Speaker 7 (57:04):
It's too I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (57:06):
Mike went and it was not quite winter, but it
was getting there. Yeah, it was getting a look old.
It's cold, but it wasn't like super cold, and I
was like, if this is like mid cold, this sucks.
Everybody was super nice. Everybody's awesome.
Speaker 9 (57:16):
Well, your show is obviously on the iHeartRadio Canada country
affiliate is called Pure Country. Yeah, so obviously your show
goes on the same time as mine.
Speaker 1 (57:26):
So we're head to head competitors.
Speaker 5 (57:28):
And you know what's weird is this dude he met
one chick in Canada and he's marrying her.
Speaker 9 (57:31):
Yeah, that's right. I got to Toronto that week in
September and within a week I met mine now beautiful fiance, Heather.
Speaker 2 (57:40):
So you met more than one chick, you just met
her and then it was over.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (57:44):
I was like, could you get me a permanent residency
and she was like yeah, done.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
When did you get engaged?
Speaker 9 (57:49):
We got engaged in May twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (57:52):
And you're not married now, No, when are you getting married?
Speaker 9 (57:55):
Okay, yeah we are. No one knows that.
Speaker 2 (57:58):
We had to Yeah, we had to get to reveal
it here.
Speaker 9 (58:01):
No, it's fine, breaking news, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (58:03):
So you're married, Oh, just your status legally.
Speaker 9 (58:06):
No, it's not. It's nothing to do with that. We're
getting married.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (58:12):
Have you ever seen ninety day fiance?
Speaker 2 (58:14):
That's me.
Speaker 6 (58:15):
No.
Speaker 9 (58:16):
Basically, we're getting married in Scotland, where I'm from and
most of my family live. It's in a castle. Amazing,
ven you can't wait. That's in July. But to actually
get married officially, you have to provide like a certificate
by the time you get over there. So we went
to a park recently in Toronto with this wedding offician
and it was the most like it was like homeless
(58:37):
people in the park were getting married. It was like
a ten minute ceremony. So we got the legalities, the
formalities of it over and done with. So we are
officially married.
Speaker 2 (58:45):
Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (58:46):
So will you celebrate your anniversary like in July or
were you celebrated in the homeless people in the park
in July.
Speaker 9 (58:52):
Maybe we'll do something in the park as well.
Speaker 2 (58:55):
I do so Miles is here is going to be
the next couple of days. But I do have to
get to this spill the tea because I know we
put it in the teaser and we had a little
issue with our video at first. So do Ray, do
we have this ready? So someone here on the show,
this has not on Miles. By the way, this is
not about Miles, Okay. I put this in the description
(59:18):
of the video, so I need to make sure we
do it so people that are here, like, I never
heard that spill the tea. So someone on the show
anonymously wanted to spill the tea on somebody else. So first, Ray,
would you play spill the tea.
Speaker 7 (59:30):
Let's spill the tea.
Speaker 2 (59:32):
And so this is anonymous. They're they're using the voice changer.
It's thirty one seconds hit it ray.
Speaker 4 (59:40):
This message is about Eddie. Does he not understand when
you water a plant that you need to have something
underneath it to catch the water. Eddie brought us plants
and thought, oh, what a great gift. But one sits
outside the studio and Eddie continues to water it and he.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
Pours a bunch of water in it, and the water just.
Speaker 4 (59:58):
Comes out the bottom of the plant and weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
All over the table and floor.
Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
But Eddie doesn't care about keeping on workspace clean or
common areas clean as plant. Who cares if it weeks
all over the floor? Eddie too better?
Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Okay, that's anonymous. I wonder who that was.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
That was.
Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Eddie?
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Your answer to that?
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Yeah, I really couldn't understand much of it because it
was anonymous.
Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
But I guess like you're being sloppy. There's water everywhere
from you with this plant, but that's not my plant.
I don't even know what they're talking about, you watering it?
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
No? Oh, then I don't even know who, Like I.
Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Gave you, I didn't.
Speaker 8 (01:00:33):
Right, So I gave yours to someone else. It's not
even here. And then I gave Amy one and lunchbox.
Lunchbox said he took his home, So I guess that's Amy's.
Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
I'm not watering it, so I don't know, man, who's
watering it?
Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Scoba, Do we know anything about this?
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I don't know. There's one over here on the table
of it.
Speaker 7 (01:00:51):
It's got some water underneath this. I'm not sure. Well,
maybe the clean lady waters it. Maybe let's let's just
say this.
Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
I mean, whoever it was anonymous may have been sitting
there and watched Eddie un screw a bottled water and
pour water into it right around that table.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Is watering it, so I did.
Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
I don't remember that, lunchboxes.
Speaker 8 (01:01:08):
So yeah, he just threw himself under the bus. He's
the he's the anonymous, but I.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Think he took that. He said, I'll die on my
sword to.
Speaker 7 (01:01:13):
See because she denied watering is.
Speaker 5 (01:01:16):
I was like, all right, if you're gonna lie about
watering it, I'll go ahead and reveal myself on this one.
Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
So why are you water Why don't you just take
it home?
Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
I guess I will, Yeah, I guess if Amy.
Speaker 6 (01:01:23):
Doesn't want it, well, how do you know that's fine?
Speaker 8 (01:01:26):
Because lunchbox took his home bobbies bobbies, I give it
to someone else in the building.
Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
Oh, that's mine.
Speaker 7 (01:01:32):
Then she's like she was like, how am I getting
busted here?
Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Hold on, yeah, I want up. Let's get all the
plants out can we We're getting the habit of leaven
like stuff out there. Let's not get in the habit.
I don't care who Scuba puts in charge of every
day making sure that our little lobby is. I'm not
saying spick and span, but we got some stuff from
Walmart last week on Friday. They sent in a bunch.
They have a new food line. People send stuff all
(01:01:57):
the time. The stuff is still sitting there like half eaten.
We're acting on it, like move it in the snack
room because it's been there for like four days.
Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
I don't want to do anything. You're taking the snack room.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Then the saleslady isn't get home. It doesn't sit in
the lobby for four days because it doesn't look good.
We look like slobs.
Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
Question what what if we just get like a bottom
for the plant and then it's like a welcome like
it's a it's a it's not a bad plant, it's
just it needs a bottom.
Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
We can't even keep snacks not looking like they're tossed in.
There's garbage every all the time. So we'll work on
plants and maybe bases. Picture all that later.
Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
I was going to see if we could get a
I forget the exact kind. I'll look it up. But
there's a particular plant that's really good for the air
in here, and.
Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
I want to plants in here.
Speaker 6 (01:02:42):
What no, Bobby, Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
It'll get knocked over. This carpet is terrible. We can't
have anything nice.
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
We're gonna walk it.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
We can't anything.
Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
We'll be gone for a week vacation.
Speaker 6 (01:02:55):
Don't you want cleaner?
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Why don't we get like a pet porcupine and a
a terrarium in here as well?
Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
I was going to say a gumball machine is good
from morale in the studio.
Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
We have learned the one thing we've long. We can't
have anything nice for living because it dies or it breaks.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
No, Like a fish would be cool and.
Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
It would die. Yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
So the tank breaks in the air, water everywhere around
all this equipment.
Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
Spider plant, that's what it is.
Speaker 7 (01:03:25):
A ship of sale.
Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
No chloros I.
Speaker 8 (01:03:29):
Gave you a money plant. You didn't even want that.
What do you want?
Speaker 6 (01:03:32):
Because the air lunchbox brings into diseases. And if we
have a spider okay.
Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Says miss covids, have covid in here for a week.
Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
Okay, use infection now we're on it. That's don't even
get me started on the tuberculoses.
Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
You gave me exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Okayyphilis.
Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
We're out of here, Thank you, everybody. Uh, Miles going
to see you. Miles, gonna be here for a couple
of days.
Speaker 9 (01:03:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
I think that's all for now. We're gonna go all right,
shut her down, boys,
The Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I do want to start with a couple of voicemails.
Is Eric from Bismarck, North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
First time caller, and I've been a listeners since the
day that I heard live on the radio opening the
first thing from the Palette. Since that moment, I have
went back and listened to every single episode that has
been available. I'm about a year and a half sober,
and I don't know where I would be without you all.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
You guys.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
The chemistry just makes me feel like I'm part of
the family and I love you guys. I don't know
where i'd be without y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thanks man, congrats on a year and a half. And yeah,
the Palette, that's almost the voltimore of this show almost where.
We do speak about it occasionally, but we know we
trouble when we do. That's all. Yeah, But I just
don't want to get into it. I just want to
get it talk about it, but I'm not in the
mood to get into it now. But go ahead.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Can I just say I'm happy that the Palette was
able to help in his journey.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
No, no, because the Palette has hurt our journey. It
made me start drinking it's the opposite of him. I've
never but because the palette, we have not got our
money back. I'm now I'll say it. I drink.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Oh no, you don't. It makes me so mad though.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Me too about what It pisses me off that we
don't have our money.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Yes, and I've had to let it go. Y'all need
to let it know.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're not letting it go. We don't talk about it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm moving. Hey, business people, you're not a business person.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Were Pokemon cars. They're still saying, we don't have any
money for that.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
So you guys get that we bought and that bit
with stuff to hold and let it grow in value.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What do you think the stuff from the palace doing
that stuff's not growing in value. It's a piece of rope.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
No, it's sold one hundred dollars bill and then.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Pay us to give us our part of what we have.
It's like when you started not like a like a
next voicemail.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Hi guys, Okay, I just saw that you hit three
hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Curious as to if accounts since it was after the
show ended, or if you're gonna let it go let
me know.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Not sure that question. I think there are some comments
that we should have on this. We did hit, but
it was what I gave it until the show ended,
and then I gave another hour and a half and
we did not hit until even after we went off
the podcast after that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But I think it was only like five minutes after that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It was quick, but I did give it an extra
hour and a half because I really wanted to do it.
So I saw that you had three anything if it counts,
So no nobody got paid out because nobody hit it
in that, But I'm still going to pay somebody one
thousand dollars or all three of you one thousand dollars. Yes,
if we hit five hundred thousand before September first, or
(02:31):
one person gets thirty five hundred if what if you
decide to play a game for it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I like it, but we'll get there first once we
hit that number. Week decide that.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But a lunchbox has a problem because he's tried to
figure out a way to wiggle in to say he
deserves one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
But yes, I would like to on behalf of Eddie
Morgan and myself. I would like to come into Bobby
Bones's courtroom and say that we actually did hit it
by the end of the show, because if you are
living in Sacramento, California, the show was still on the
air when we hit three hundred thousand, So technically the
show was still on. The show was still going when
(03:07):
we hit three hundred thousand, and you said by the
end of the show, and so my belief is the
show was not over.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So by the end of the show, then that argument
could be used because it's always streaming on one of
the channels. The iHeart channels like that too, it's always
on demand. No, it was until the end of the show,
as we do the show. When we ended the show,
I still said, I will give you guys another hour
and a half and it still didn't hit. But I'm
giving you guys the opportunity to make a lot more
(03:35):
money with the neck. By the way, I don't make
any money off of this. This is money I'm just
giving out of my own pocket.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Eddie.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We need sound, let's see that.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Sorry, you mean we do this whole thing with no sound.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, that's what Morgan is saying.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
No way, lill bit, this isn't helping's case.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There, it is.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh my wave been this whole time. None of that
went on. Did we at least get up for the podcast? Yeah,
we're recording of area we got.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's just just a stream.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
This wasn't our first day over here.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh my god, stop it.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
You know it's not my fault. My computer updated.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Over the weekend, so it's not your fault.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
But it did over the weekend and it restarts everything.
So like, I didn't see that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you didn't see, but it wasn't your fault.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But technically we were on air in the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, that's not true. We're on the air.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Technically it's the computer's fault, not mine. Yes, I'm sorry, dude,
it didn't see it up, But you just.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Said it wasn't your fault, So why are you sorry?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, because this computer when it restarts it like does.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I just want to do a quick lesson for everybody listening,
just in general. If something's ever your fault, just say
that's on me, my fault. I'll get better, sorry about that,
and move on because that allows everybody to move on,
allows you to move on, allows the people that are
over you to move on, and everybody when you say
it's not my fault, and obviously was your fault. All
it does is extend the communication about whose fault it
(05:02):
was and where either the lack of communication from you
or the lack of or the inability of whatever program
we're using to run. So now that's extended a whole
bunch more.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
So and further infuriates your superior.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, it's just like it was it your fault? Was
it your fault?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I should I should have seen that on there, my
bad man.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Just in general in life. If that's it, Yeah, it
sucks for a second, but it's like a pill man,
it tastes very good, but all right onward.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You know what's stupid about this whole thing?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Though, Okay, I would just move on.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
This is also a space where we get to talk
things through and we move on.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But I think we do this and we have to
keep going on a podcast. But cut our stream and
start it over, because anybody watching the beginning of that's
going to see four minutes of silence and they're not
going to watch the stream.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I wouldn't or maybe they just got on right now,
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It goes loaded up as a YouTube video, which you're
trying to get more videos for therefore, why would anybody
watch any of the content?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
All right, take it down?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, well, we did a video on YouTube and no,
I mean, Morgan thought this was gonna get so many
views and got nine hundred views.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, but you can't fight those video hold on algorithms.
You cannot predict. So I'm not gonna be on anybody
for putting anything up.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I was just being funny.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I was like, I looked at it, and I was like, man,
I thought we were gonna I was like, that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Was you being funny? It was okay, So can we
start the stream over? But keep the podcast going.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
A Morgan, I'm sure, I mean you can do anything.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Okay, just start the stream over.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, we're still recording over here, raising.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And let me know where when it comes back.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And this is what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What everybody just hushed. Everybody hush.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
He's mad at me.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'm not mad at you.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Everybody, No, everybody shush. Start the stream over. Let me
know when we're back on, and then we will start again.
But we won't start over. But from the start of
that content on video, if you don't hook people in
the first few seconds, nobody's gonna watch any of it,
and you're running us with four minutes of silence. There's
no way that then would get over like fifty views. Now,
people may turn on the Facebook stream because that is live,
(07:07):
or watch it live on YouTube, but if we want
you able to watch it as it's loaded, they're not
going tom But these are the decisions you have to
make in order to get more followers.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I'm interested to see what Eddie was mad about.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I want to wait till the stream comes up. Are
we working on it now and Morgan's working on the
back end. It's not I'm Morgan, not Mortgan's fault.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No one's blaming Morgan.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
That's just getting you the key.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Thank you, and I'm looking. We'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Bekay.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You know what, why don't we just go to the
Atom Dirret's interview. Oh, we'll come back on the other
side of the Atom dirrets interview. Okay, Okay, so we'll
just we'll just shut it all down.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
But also just so Eddie feels better, maybe because of
the everything we talked about, somebody listening to that is
going to mess up at work this week and they're
going to own it right away because of you and
it's gonna be better. It's gonna be better for them.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
They're gonna call it an eddie.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I pulled on Eddie.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, so let's do this. Let's go to Adam Durrett's
from Counting Crows and we'll come back on the backside
on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Now, Adam Durrett's Counting Crows.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Adam going to see you again, buddy. Hey, no, I
realized there's things going on in the head that I'm
missing out on.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It was literally a voice just going And now Adam
Durrett's Counting Crows. I mean, if you really wanted to
hear that?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Did sound cool?
Speaker 9 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Intro seven out of ten?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
All right, okay, it's cool. I was as long as
I got the idea. Now I feel like I've hit
the stage. There's been a yeah, I'm here here. Do
you guys have an intro?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Now? When you come out? Like? Why do you guys
come out?
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We usually played this song it lately it's been stand by.
It's lying the family stone, lights go down, stand comes on.
We come on about midway through the song.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So the song is playing like over the top and
you guys walk out on the hall, it comes out
when you do a set list. How often does it
change during a tour?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Every night?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Is that part of your or you know, I don't
know creative nightly task is to recreate the set list?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, im or who he was here a second ago.
He and I do it after dinner sometime.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Does that depend on the mood that you're in.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, just sort of what do you want to
play tonight? That way, we're playing stuff we want to play.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Do you ever do want of you ever go hey,
maybe we haven't played this song in a while, we
throw this in. Is there ever like a battle?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No, it's usually like that, you know, somebody wants it's
I mean, anybody in the band can say, hey, you know,
I've been really dying to play this, and if we
you know, if it's if we've been playing it, we
just stick in the set list. If we haven't been,
we'll work it at sound check and then put it
in the set list. Sometimes we need a few days
to work on something if we haven't played it for
a decade or something. You know, Oh, you'll bring old
(09:44):
songs back sometimes, yeah, because people like you know, we
have so many records at this point and so many songs,
and people like get to where they're dying to hear
someone or someone's girlfriend is pretty insistent about something. My
girlfriend really wanted us to play this song, Butterfly and
Reverse for a long time, and it was a song
even when it was released we only played it once
or twice. One of my friends checked on the whatever
(10:06):
the archive, we only played it once or twice, and
we worked on it and put it in the set.
And now it's been like every night for a few years.
That everybody loved it so much that it's kind of
stuck in there. But yeah, you know, there's things you
haven't played in a long time.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Are there any songs that you feel you have to
play every night? Is there one song that stays in
the thread the whole time? A long December does nothing else?
I mean, I don't feel like there's anything I have
to play every night, because sometimes you just get tired
of it. There anything there is, you get tired of it.
Except for some reason, for me, A long December, I
never get tired of it. There's never been a night
(10:39):
where I didn't want to play it. I don't know
why that is. I have no idea, but I was
kind of excited to play it like an arrangement change
up on that song, like playing it by yourself at
a piano or the full band. Does that ever change
even though the thread as you play that song every night.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, I mean, we'll change little details of it. There's
little like breakdowns that go into it. For the last
couple year and a half, I started, I just was
we went to see Taylor Swift and it was really great,
and I really loved that song, the one, and so
I started like backstage working on a version of it
by myself, and then I just walked down stage one
(11:11):
night and played it and let it right into A
Long December. So it the end of that song built
and became the intro to A Long December. And I've
been doing it that way for about a year now
and I'm really loving it. I don't know, It's such
a great song and it was a real cool surprise
to then crash it into a Long December and start
that song from there. So I've been doing it that way,
(11:32):
but I've done that with different songs. I remember doing
it with Live Forever, that Oasis song. We were touring Anyone
once and I went, you know, and figured out how
to play Love Forever and then just surprised everybody on
stage at one.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Night with cell phones too. It's got to be different
because if you're gonna go do Taylor the one that's
either gonna go super viral or it's not, it's gonna
be kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, it was kind of cool because at some point
midway through the first verse, I always hear the scream
from a bunch of girls, like it happens because it's
not immediately recognizable as that song because I'm playing it
pretty differently. It's kind of inside out. But at some point,
like two thirds of the way through the third verse
or the first verse, there's just a scream from a
(12:15):
bunch of girls who realize what's going on, and then
I don't know where they're hitting their mom going no,
you don't understand, mom.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How has content creation been for you with music, because
that's different for anybody that was, you know, playing the
nineties and two thousands. I have friends now that are
struggling with man, I have to make content now to
go with my music. How has that been for you
and you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, it's kind of a I was really enthusiastic about
social media when it first started, I was on the
message boards at AOL, you know, in ninety six when
I realized, oh, here's a way to talk directly to fans,
I don't have to go through the press or something.
And then when Twitter came out, I really jumped on that.
But the problem is you're not always at the forefront
(13:01):
of something, Like you're patting yourself on the back for
being on the message boards, you know, ten years before
social media, and then you're patting yourself on the back
for building up Twitter, and you don't realize that Instagram
is the next thing, or you don't or you finally
get a hold of that. And you know, as you're older,
you're not in touch with the same stuff that kids are,
and so you don't realize that TikTok is really important.
(13:23):
You know that it's just inevitable that you fall behind
because you're not keyed into the same you know, zeitgeist
as kids are. But yeah, you just kind of adjust,
you try to. I mean, I think at this point
in my life, I'm always a little behind, which is okay.
It's you know, it's kind of fun to catch up.
Sometimes some of my friends are like, man, I hate
(13:43):
singing into a phone like that. They really have struggle
with like singing in their songs into a phone to
put it on TikTok?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Was that? Ever, when you shot content, do you shoot
it wider because you can shoot a video ish style
or where it doesn't feel as ridiculous, because it does
feel kind of weird to put your phone up and
sing right into it. How are you guys doing that?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well? Early on, I mean, I don't mind singing into
my phone because I was doing it for voice memos.
It was like, Wow, I got a thing I can record,
I work on new songs. I can record and write them.
That seemed like the coolest thing in the world to me.
I didn't need a recording studio. I had my phone.
And then I started doing like it was a little
while to learn how to do all the stuff and
learn to edit. You know, I had to go learn
how to edit stuff, get the editing apps. And I
(14:23):
was making cooking videos because I was bored during the pandemic.
So I was making I was, you know, teaching kind
of cooking lessons on my Instagram. And then you know,
I watch a lot of it. I see people doing
these clips of songs and how you only have to
do a whole song. But clips of songs are really
cool and I kind of like watching them, So, you know,
I wised up to doing that, but it took me
(14:44):
till this record to wise up to doing that. It's
not hard to do them though, sometimes doing my phone.
Sometimes we have a videographer who works with us. He'll
come over and just film me doing stuff, or he
filmed when we were making the record, he was there
with cameras. So you know, lately we've been using clips
of all of us from in the studio that we filmed,
and then I had them come over and shoot a
(15:06):
bunch of clips of me just doing the vocals because
they were a little bit it wasn't as immediate the
clips from the side away from the mic in the studio,
so I wanted to cut a bunch of clips that
just my face doing stuff. I called them up and said,
I want to make videos out of these, but I
don't want to just use the studio footage. I want
to shoot stuff in front of a screen. And so
we did that and we've been putting those up for
(15:27):
Spaceman and now for Under the Aurora.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You mentioned voice notes. So what were you using before
voice notes? Was it just a pad of paper all
that that was a notebook all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, I mean I always use these notebooks. But I
also had there was an app. It was it was
just called like recorder, but it was just an app
that had really good compression on it that you just
pushed record so I could use it on my computer.
Back then, it was a really great It was a
better app than any I've found since then. It just
sort of did it all for. You had a great compression,
(15:58):
a GRADEYQ on it. It was boneheaded. You just pushed
record and play and it did great recordings. I did
a whole record with that app. At one point just
called all my buddy Valentine's. It was like Valentine's the
week before Valentine's Day ten years ago or whenever it was,
and I just said, I'm gonna record a song. I'm
gonna learn to cover a day and record a song
a day for the next week leading up to Valentine's Day.
(16:21):
And I just did seven songs and ended up putting
it out and giving it away to all our fans.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do you have any of your original handwritten lyrics to
any of the old any of the old songs.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh yeah, I've got all these lyric books. Yeah, that
just live somewhere in your house. Yeah, there's like piles
of them. I've always written in these books. So I
have these little ones that they are like spiral binders
that are about that big. They're like for school, you
know notebooks. I use them when I was in college, too.
I don't do it as much anymore. I find the
notes function in my phone is really great because I
just lay around. Also, we've all stopped writing, so writing's
(16:54):
not as like natural as it was. So you know,
with my phone, I can walk around when I'm working
on a song, can just humming stuff to myself and
I just you know, type it into the notes. I
have a lot of lyrics in my notes, but I
still use the notebook for stuff too.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
We were talking a little bit ago about how gen
Z doesn't know has never written a handwritten letter, and
my answer to that was, well, you know, our parents
never churned butter, and I'm sure their generation ahead of
them was like, I can't believe the kids now. I
don't churn butter. So there are certain skills that you
don't have to have you know as time goes by.
I just feel though if I use a like GPS,
(17:30):
I know how to get nowhere because I GPS everywhere.
And if I write everything down onto my phone, like
I write a bunch of joke ideas and on my
phone constantly, but I don't remember stuff as well if
I'm putting it in digitally, does your mind remember the
same digitally as it as handwritten?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
No? I mean I realized last night. I was I
can't remember what I was out to dinner last night,
and my girlfriend was giving her phone number to somebody
like one of our friends. And uh, I suddenly realized, Oh,
that's not cool. You don't know her number. I mean
I knew.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know why I.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Know, like seven or eight number, I wouldn't she was
saying it. I was in my head going, oh, and
then the last two numbers I had wrong, I'm like, Wow,
you don't know your girlfriend's phone number.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I would be in trouble if I were being held hostage.
I know nobody's phone number unless it was from Like
I know my friend Evan's dad's number from when I
was like twelve, Like, I can remember that one, but
I don't know anybody's phone number.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Now, being held hostage comes with a lot of other
problems anyways, But first I need to call somebody. They're like,
they're like, we demand ransom, and I'm like, I don't
know how to get ahold of anybody. And that's kind
of the cops. Give you one call. I don't know
about hostages. Sometimes they do, but what if they just
don't like you.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Then they will not want to ransom and you're not hostage,
you're just dead. Yeah, then you're just dead.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, it's there's a lot of problems of the hostage
situation above and be on the phones. But I get
your point.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Did you watch Why Lotus last night?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
But I did? I did?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You did?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, No, I'm not done yet. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Then I was a little disappointed.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But we're not giving any answers, not saying anything, but
a lot of people. So I watched the whole thing, right,
My wife had already watched all of it, and I
just wanted to watch the finale with her. So I
did like seven episodes this past weekend just to totally
catch up. And I was told by a lot of
people season three was pretty slow. I felt Season three
(19:14):
the people in it, and again no spoilers, not to
be as gross as seasons one and two, just generally,
you know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's the weird thing. Season one had like six episodes
and season two had seven. Season three had eight, and
I thought six would have been great for all of them.
They'd just be he's a really, really, really good writer,
and somehow expanding it just kind of I don't want to.
It's such a good show. I had never watched it,
and then this year I never My girlfriend talked me
into watching it, and we watched the first season like
(19:41):
binged it, second season binged it. Third season got through
two episodes and I was like what, and she said, oh, no,
that's that's where we're up to right now. Why are
we watching it? You know? I don't. I like to
binge everything, you know, and she so, then I've been
doing it every week. I'm not sure whether it's distorting
how it feels to me because I have to wait
(20:01):
for it. It felt really padded.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I did all binge all three seasons, and I finally
finished right before the finale. So my feeling was my yeah,
season three people didn't feels gross, felt pretty good about it.
That's cool. But there was I never felt the need
to get back to it, but I did enjoy it
while it was on. It was one of those weird,
slow burned shows for me.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I love the other seasons. I just like, I kind
of felt like also, I felt like there's a lot
of padding this season. But I was also thinking, well,
I bet the ending it will be great, you know there,
because we're gonna get there finally. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
We don't worrybody, We're not gonna saying about it. We're
not gonna say it. No, no, no spoiling there. What
else do you guys watch?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Like? Did you watch Severance? Watch the first season and
I thought that was incredible.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
One of my favorite seasons ever of any show.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And we're gonna I think we're gonna watch the second
season after this. We just watched is it Black Doves?
That Kieran also that was great, freaking awesome.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'd be a Black Dove. I'd be good at that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah you would, Yeah, I mean, as long as you're
not held hostage. Yeah, well, I just didn't know a
phone number if I'm held hostage. How does writing songs
now compare to writing songs twenty years ago? You know,
we talked about the difference in digitally or writing it
with a hand, But like, do you feel the need
and do you schedule writing now or can you only
just go when you feel like it. I just write
(21:17):
when I feel I don't write a lot. As soon
as I started touring and really being in this band,
I stopped writing all the time. I wrote every day
for you know, ten years before that when I started
writing songs. But then I can't really write on tour
because I don't play guitar. I play piano and poorly
at that, And then I so I wouldn't write for
(21:38):
like a year and a half because we'd be on tour.
So I tend to Ever since then, I've tended to
just kind of not write for a year or two
and then write with ten songs whatever the record is,
and sometimes there's an extra song or two, but not many.
I want to write a lot of extras. So it
was different this time because I I wrote it. I
(22:00):
just think the I've been sort of changing some of
the ways I write and sort of my the music
I was writing was a little more ambitious than my
ability to play it, and so I couldn't really tell
how the songs were I finally I sat on them
for a couple of years because I hadn't have a
lot of confidence in them. And then I called the
guys up and said, I wrote, We'd love for me
(22:22):
to z from this the first song on the record,
and I knew I loved it, and I thought, I
got to figure out what I'm doing with the rest
of the songs. And I called, you know Immer and
a couple of other guys are bass player and drummer,
and said, just I need everybody to come to my
house for a week. I just need to play this
stuff with you. I need to hear how it is
with the band and then I'll know. And when as
soon as we started playing it, I was like, oh wow,
this is I love this stuff, but this is the
first time. A lot of it was in my head,
(22:43):
like I couldn't really play it, but I knew it,
I knew how it was supposed to go. Had the chords,
I just my ability to play piano. I couldn't do
these songs. And so I was carrying around in my
head until I heard them play it. I describe what
I wanted and it was great and I was really excited.
But that that hadn't really happened.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Before the with Love from A to Z whenever, because
I've listened whenever the first half came out, it was
all one track. Loved that, thought it was super cool,
and then I guess then it split up into songs later.
I will shout out the name Bobby uh two references
on this record.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, I know it was very inspired by you know,
the last time we were hanging out.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Thank you very much, well Bobby and the Right Kings
I think was already exist existent when we hung out
last time, but this one, but I knew we were
gonna hang out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew it was
gonna happen. Spaceman of Tulsa, I get a shout out
as well, you're back, Yes, I'm back baby.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So when you do new records, how how many of
these songs do you put in a set list tonight?
You have so many songs to kind of jump between.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I don't know. I mean the sweet I really only
liked playing the suite altogether. The guys that tried to
get me to like just play single songs, but I
really like it all is one, So that's a chunk.
If you're going to play that. I mean, that's twenty
minutes of the show right there.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I guess it depends on the night We'll start doing
it and you stick them in.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's weird, you know, like we're you want to play
your whole new record. But sometimes there was a time
we could do that when everyone was buying all the
records and everybody knew all the songs. So maybe if
Spaceman and Tulsa blows up to the roof or under
the Aurora does, or one of them does, we can
just play the whole record for people.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What's the song that you hear out randomly the most
of ours?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, I suppose it's probably mister Jones. I hear long
December a lot. Especially. It's become kind of a Christmas standard,
Like every like holiday season, it seems like everybody's covering
it and it shows up like on TikTok and on Instagram,
you know, people playing it. This year m J. Linderman
was doing a version right around Christmas and Gracy Abrams
(24:39):
sanging it. I saw that benefit for the fires.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It was awesome. What do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That was cool? Yeah, I mean I always think it's cool.
I don't know. I think our songs are kind of
weird sometimes that you know, my phrasing's a little difficult.
I don't, I don't. I don't hear a lot of
people covering us except in bars sometimes, you know, where
you don't necessarily want to hear it as much. But
have you been at a Barnhart someone covering it? Yeah?
And sometimes it's really good that I heard a version
of around here a while ago that was like, wow,
(25:05):
that that was really good, actually suppressed.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Do you tell them it's you?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, No, Well I used to have it used to
be obvious it was me before I shaved off the dreads,
like it was, there was no question it was me.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Then.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I think I'm a little more anonymous now I think
I'm a lot more anonymous now.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Was that a big decision to cut off the dreads?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Not really. I felt it wasn't a big decision to me.
I just felt like I was excited. I mean, it
wasn't really that. I just kind of did it on
a whim, you know, like, uh, But I think it
was a big decision for a lot of other people somehow.
And I get asked about it a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
One of my neighbors lives a few houses down is
t Bow and Burnett. Oh really yeah, and he was
that he was over a few weeks ago. We were
talking about August and everything after and the Wallflowers. What
was working with him like as a producer, that's a
long time ago.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I mean it was cool. He's really good. He's got
you know, there's a lot of producers that just have
like a sound like they've got a studio trick that
they do and that's what they their records sound like.
T Bone's not really quantifiable like that. He he helps
you figure out who you are and who you want
to be on a record. I think he's really It's
why he's worked with a lot of bands on their
(26:16):
first records. It made a lot of really good first
records with bands because I think he really helps you
define yourself. He's got a thing that, you know, an
understanding of music that not everybody has. He's really really
good at that.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He brought the coolest friend over, which is Ringo Star.
They came over together. That's pretty that's a strong friend
or guest. Yeah, that's that's a strong friend who was
responsible for putting you as background vocals of sixth Avenue Heartache.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, you know, uh, the Wallflowers had made their first
album on Virgin and it's a really good record, but
it didn't really make much of an impression. It's it's
it's not. It didn't really sum up who they were.
And Jake and I were friends. I was bartending at
the Viper Room and he was there a lot, and
we would talk about, you know, what we were doing.
And he asked me at one point, I think if
I had any advice about that, and I said, well,
(27:05):
you know, t Bone is really good. What I just
told you is like helping you define yourself. And I
felt like that's kind of what that record needed. That
he's a real unique guy and a unique songwriter and singer,
and that didn't get brought out as much on that
first record, and so I suggested T Bone. And you
know a few months later, I was at home. I
lived in Laurel Canyon then, and I got a phone
(27:26):
call from either T Bone or Andy Slater, who is
Jake's manager, and they're like, we have we're working on
this song and it's just not singing yet. You know,
do you want to come down and singing? I was like,
which song is SI six ave new Hardeck. I said,
I don't really know that one, because I knew a
lot of the Jake songs that he was working on.
And he said, well, will you just come down the hill?
(27:46):
And so I went down and had a beer and
listened to it, and then had a beer and sang
it a couple of times and left. I mean it
just felt great. I mean it was like that. They
just felt like we figured out eas exactly. That was
just what that song needed. It was a great song.
It just needed something to pick up the chorus, and
it just felt great right away. I think I only
(28:07):
sang it once or twice, and then I went back
home and it turned out great. How long until you
actually hear it? I think they sent me a copy,
like the next day I got it. But I heard
it right then and we went into the controller matter
I sang it. It sounded great. I mean, that's like
he's got Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers playing the guitars
on that song. It's a really good band. I think
Ben montangees on that one too, from the Heartbreakers. I
(28:31):
don't know about that, but yeah, it just felt great.
I knew it was great right away. It just felt
really like sometimes you just figure out the right thing
to sing and makes it makes it work.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
SNL just did their fifty years You Guys performance on
SNL one of them. I'm not sure how any you did.
I just popped up on my TikTok the other day.
This guy named Huggy posts all the music performances on TikTok.
What do you remember from SNL.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It was a rough week. It had a really hard
time we had. We had said no for a long
time when they asked us because we were just sort
of like we wanted to play around here at Mister Jones.
We wanted to play round Here first. We didn't want
to edit the songs we had. Both Lettermen and SNL
were asking us to be on and we just were
(29:18):
really determined to do it the right way. It was
going to be our first appearance ever on television.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
They wanted to edit it for time.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, they wanted both have medited. They wanted Mister Jones first.
I really wanted to play round Here first. I didn't
want to edit the songs, and so we kind of
negotiated with both shows for the longest time until SNL agreed, Okay,
yeah you can. You can play them the way you
want to and you can play around here first. And
then we got there that week and they were like, oh,
by the way, we changed our mind and I was
(29:43):
like no, and they said, yeah, I know, we're going
to have to do it this way, and I said, no,
we're doing it this way. It's okay, we'll leave, but
we're not doing that. And it was just a difficult week,
fighting with them all week, and then it was great.
We played great. It made our career. I'll say that
it made our career because we weren't even in the
top two hundred, and that record jumped forty spots a
(30:06):
week for five weeks after we played Saturday Night Live
and until we were at number two for the next
two years. I mean it made our career.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
What'd you play first?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Round Here? Yeah, I mean it was great. It was
It was perfect because like mister Jones is a great song,
it really is. But there's a lot of songs like
mister Jones that are just catchy, you know, kind of
rock tunes. But round Here is unique, you know, and
I think it just like this is who we are.
It's it's not what you've been hearing before, and it
completely made our career. We were not even in the
(30:38):
top two hundred before we played SNL and you know,
a month later we were at number ten and then
number two or something like that, and you know, but
it was a difficult week. I went there once. My
friend was Ian McKellen's agent, and when like all the
Lord of the Ring movies are coming out, he hosted
and there was this one producer who kept getting sent
to do all the talking to us, you know, and
(30:59):
I was in the green room because they wanted me
to come. I had never been back since then, so
it is like eight years later, and I saw this
guy walk by in the hallway and then he came
back and he's like, whoa, I never thought i'd see
you again. That's going on. And I was like, uh, nothing,
just my friend represents Ian and he's like, oh cool, well,
(31:20):
you know, no hard feelings. I was like, no, that's fine, man,
all right, do you want to get high? I was like, no,
that's cool, I'm right, okay, cool, see you later.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
It was weird.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I was like the he'd look on his face and
he's like, wow, I never thought i'd see you again.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
That's funny. Yeah, the record. So it's the completion of
the twenty twenty one right, So that's what it seems
like to me. So it's the rest of that. This
is all one album. So why was this a whole
body of work that you, you know, had been working on
(31:53):
and recording and now you're done with it. Or to
just keep going after twenty twenty one and keep building
on that. No, I just wrote the sweet It was
really like a standalone thing. And then we were interrupted
by the pandemic anyways, and then when the pandemic was over,
I went back to my friends. He's got a farm
in the west of.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
England, which is where I wrote the whole suite, and
I worked and I wrote a lot of this stuff,
and on the way home, I stopped in London and
sing on my friend's record. They've got this band, Gang
of Youths, Australian band. They live in London now. And
when I got home from that a little while later,
they sent me the record and it was so good.
It's called Angel in Real Time. And I just had
(32:32):
this thought like, Wow, these songs aren't as good as
their songs. I thought this stuff was really great, but
I'm seeing it in perspective compared to their stuff. You know,
I need it needs some work. And I actually went
back to the drawing board and I rewrote the chorus
for under the Aurora, like I rewrote a bunch of
the stuff, and I thought it was really good at
that point. But that's kind of why I didn't have
a lot of confidence in it, and I sort of
(32:52):
sat on it for two years before I wrote with
Love from A to Z and then called the guys,
like I told you, Uh, but it was a new
experience I've never had before. I've never kind of like
finished things and thought, oh wait, they're not that they're
not good enough. But that's kind of why it took
a little longer. But the originally I was just writing
(33:13):
the suite, but then I wanted to write this stuff
to go along with it.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You mentioned you had a Taylor Swifts tour. What did
you see there that was inspiring?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It was just really well thought out, you know. I mean,
I write songs and sing, and there's a lot that
goes into a concert that has to do with like
set design. We don't do a ton of that. If
you want to do visuals and videos, and stuff. There's
a lot of thought that has to go into what's
the right visual to put behind your song? And I
(33:42):
know how complex that thought process can be. And we
don't do a lot of video. We're generally set moods
with lights. But the thought that had gone into the
visual presentations at that tour, like how it was really moving.
It was really really good. And this combination of the sets,
(34:05):
the incredible video presentation, the movement on stage, the whole thing.
There's just a lot of complex creative thought that goes
into making a show like that. You know, it's it's
practically like making an entire movie, you know, and also
it's three plus hours long. It's a lot you know that.
I was really impressed with the amount of creative people
(34:28):
from different disciplines that had come together and made that
really impressive show that wasn't just like laserium, you know,
like lasers like you know you see it. It was
like moving. Each song was really thought out. All the
things that went into each song were really thought out,
and they really worked. I was just very impressed by it.
It's not the kind of show we put on, but
(34:50):
I thought it was brilliant, you know.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
One of the old Man. Things that I say kids
miss out on now are the secret tracks. And there's
a couple of different secret tracks that I think of
with you guys, And one was the maybe it was
Hard Candy you hold down the fast forward and you
guys did the Joni Mitchell song before Vanessa Carlton came on?
Was that Hard Candy? Get the end of Hard Candy?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Or yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
We had to rush out the initial pressings of that record,
so we didn't have Vanessa's parts on there yet.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I think you had to like hold down the fast
forward but just barely to get to it or let it.
You fall asleep with it on and then all of
a sudden the song startles you. But even before that, when.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
It was the what I Want Wow in the Desert Life.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, and at the end of that that that that
art is no longer because now if there's a track
that's seventeen minutes long, you just see that and you're like, well,
why would you guys pick those songs to do hidden
and who was the one that suggested to do it
hidden track?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Well, sometimes it's just something I really like that doesn't
work in the flow of the record, like it just
didn't feel like part of the record. Like Kid Things
on a Desert Life just didn't feel like part of
the record. But I really loved it, and thematically it
was part of the record, but it was done really low,
and it just it didn't fit in the I tried
to fit in the flow, and I couldn't sequence it.
(36:05):
I mean, I know nobody listens to records anymore, but
I really like to make records and I want you
to be able to sit down and listen to it
all the way through, even if nobody's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's what I really like. I like making that work.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And sometimes I just couldn't get a song to fit,
which meant I left a couple of songs I love
off records, and I hit a couple just because that
seemed kind of fun. It was like a nice Easter
egg for fans. That was the thing with the with
the Kid Things, it just didn't it fits thematically, but
it didn't It didn't flow in the record. But uh,
(36:39):
big yell A Taxi was different because we just spent
this one weekend doing all these covers for B sides.
When we were while we were mixing the record, we
were like in another little room just cutting cover songs,
and uh, that just turned it. We had this kind
of acoustic hip hop version of Big Yellow Taxi that
we play in concert, but we wanted to try doing
(37:00):
a remix with it. We like went out to Pharrell
back then it was just starting in the Neptunes, then
went back to him, Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis from
the time, but we weren't able to sort of get
any of it done in time. And Ron Fair came
and said, Hey, I know you've been doing this with
all these other guys, but I actually did a version
and I think it works really well. And he sent
(37:22):
it to me and I was like, oh, that does work.
That's really cool. Thanks, And then he wanted to have
someone sing on it. And right before we were mixing
Hard Candy, he was in there mixing a record with
this with Vanessa Carlton, her first record, you know. And
I had heard a bunch of it because he was
in there, you know, and Jack jose Pleegu had played
me some of her songs, thought that they were really good,
(37:43):
and I knew that I had to leave for tour
before we were going to be able to finish it,
and I thought it might be intimidating for someone to
come in and sing on one of our tracks, but
he could get a lot out of a woman he
had just worked with. Well, she would be comfortable enough
with him to actually like improv on our track, and
she did. Yeah, it worked out great. It's funny because
she was this total unknown singer and then by the
time it came out, she was very popular.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
The complete Sweet comes up May ninth. Man, you guys
are doing a lot of shows too. Do you do
the touring where you just go away and don't come
back for a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah? Mostly, Yeah, we the weekend, this sort of a
Nashville thing, I know.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, it's Friday, Saturday, maybe maybe Thursday, maybe Sunday. But
back home. Yeah, that sounds very convenient. Yeah it is. Yeah,
so you guys just go because you guys are going
like Europe too, the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah, we're doing the whole summer is gone. We're out
on the tour in America. You know, we passed through
home wherever your home is, you usually pass through it,
and then we'll go to Europe in the fall.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
That's pretty cool. A lot of day it's from June
and we'll put them up in the notes here on
the podcast. But from June, yeah, all the way up
until November. Yeah, yeah, until it gets cold.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Do you do cold weather shows or most of your
show's amphitheaters?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, not during the summer, but other times a year.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Do you ever play? You ever play a long December?
And December in the crowd goes ah, like just because
you yelled December, it's like yelling a city when you're
in it.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, like he said, our month, he said our month.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
This is crazy. I should write one for each month
because then I would have hits any time of the year.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Yeah, that would be good. Uh, we're gonna play some
some music here in just a second.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
By the way, I should tell you not that it matters.
I looked it matters me. It doesn't matter. But this
was the first book ever wrote, and it was bestseller
for a little bit. It's pretty cool. I'm pretty proud
of it. But I thank you guys in the back
of the book. Really I did, Can I have a copy?
Well you don't want? No, No, it's not sure you
can have a copy. But it wasn't for that. I
just I it was laying here by my foot, and
I was like, you know, because you guys are you
(39:36):
guys are my favorite band of all time, And so
I said, I wonder if I thanked them in the
credits like the book, and I did. You're on the
back page when I was like, hey, I want to
think kind of cross.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I mean, you came to that show in Nashville a
few years ago and they told me you were there,
but then you didn't come backstage.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, because I don't want to be that guy like
I just want to and honestly, and I think you'll
understand this, I didn't want to not like you because
I love I love my relationship with your music, and
I didn't want to not like you. And so I
was like, you know what, I'm good because the place
I'm in now with Count of Crows, it couldn't be better.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
I hear you, I hear you. If you come backstage
at some point, I promise not to be well.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Now I like you, though now I'm feel good about it.
But that was really the reason. They were like, you
want to go meet at him and I was like, no,
I just enjoyed the show. I was like, I do
not because right now I love Adam. He might be
well and not even that, but like I intured doing
stand up, and some days you just don't feel good.
Some day that's true, and so I just didn't want
it to be there. So next time I probably still won't.
But right NOW'M gonna say, well, can I have.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
A book or else?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Ye? Now, I'll give you a book.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I want a book. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
They were thanking in the back of the book.
Speaker 6 (40:41):
I how did you like?
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I said, I just thanked him for the music for
like all the you know, I mean.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
You read it, read it?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Okay, what if it's like Adam, I'm in love with you.
Also a big sad hug of the County Crows for
making lots of great music that makes me sad by
feeling happy, by feeling sad.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Actually that's pretty great. Actually yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, because I mean that's how I felt. So I
got a little choked out. That was actually pretty good.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Well, thank you well, and I'll clarify some importance behind that.
Some of Bobby's upbringing, you can have a lot of
space to feel, so I think your music gave him
that space to feel sad.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Hug all around. I'm not making funny you. That's actually
really sweet. I'm kind of touched by that.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
But any hug at all was happy for me.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And now we're going too far.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
That's right, Okay, okay, welcome back everybody. We have Miles here.
Who I met Miles in Las Vegas. Miles, everybody, prepare yourself.
He has a British accent. Miles. How's it going?
Speaker 9 (41:51):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (41:51):
How are you good?
Speaker 3 (41:52):
So?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
But he lives in Canada, but you grew up where.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
So it's complicated. I was born in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Oh, it's not British, my bad.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
No, it is. Scotland's in the UK, so any country
in the UK's is considered British.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Oh by what about Scottish.
Speaker 9 (42:07):
Yeah, that's like you can be English from England. Yes,
England is also in the UK, so that's still British. Okay,
you can be sco Scottish from Scotland. Scotland is also
in the UK.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
It could be Welsh, so it'd be like an American accent,
but an American Southern accent.
Speaker 9 (42:23):
Sure, okay, yeah, but my accent's all messed up because
I was born in Scotland, grew up in England. I
moved over to the Middle East. I was in Dubai
for six years when I was eighteen.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
So at eighteen years old, you moved to Dubai.
Speaker 9 (42:35):
Yeah for what? Radio?
Speaker 2 (42:37):
So you decided at eighteen that you wanted to pursue
a career and why Dubai? Was that the first job?
And how'd you find a job in Dubai?
Speaker 9 (42:43):
It was crazy? So I'm a radio nepo baby. My
dad is in radio where in Scotland? So he's been
a morning show host for like forty years wow, and
now he's in management. So for years, like out of school,
when I was internal and stuff, I was always Robin's kid.
Oh you're Robinson, you know, and I kind of wanted
(43:05):
to move away and become my own man.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Gets no further than going to the Middle East. Yeah,
So how did you find a job there? And what?
I don't know. I think I'd be scared to go.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
So basically, when my dad was doing a morning show,
I was telling this to Amy off the air. He
was doing a contest with a new airline and they
offered him some flights to like New York, I think Brussels,
like Belgium and Dubai and it was right before nine
to eleven, so him and my mum originally picked New York.
Then nine to eleven happened. He was like, well, we're
not going to go there anymore. Let's try Dubai. So
(43:35):
they went to Dubai, went for a week, had an
amazing time. When they came back, the sales rep was like,
how was it. Did you enjoy the campaign, the flights
and everything, and they were like, yeah, it was great.
But they were like dredging for oil off the coast
of the hotel in the beach, and they were like,
that's not dredging for oil. They're building a man made
island called the Palm. It's like a palm tree with
like it's insane. It looks like something up like the
(43:57):
Sims or something. It's crazy. My mom and dad bought
a place in Dubai off plan when they were building
that man made island. So then every single school vacation
we would go there every single time, like Easter, Summer, Christmas.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Even how far away is that from where you were?
Speaker 9 (44:14):
Seven hours?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Oh not even that bad. That's closer than if we
went to Hawaii.
Speaker 9 (44:18):
Yeah, seven hours, four hour time difference. And basically when
this one time, this easter vacation we were there. I
think it was twenty eleven, maybe even early twenty ten,
there was this volcano in Iceland that erupted. This is
the most far fair story ever, by the way, but
there was a volcanic ash cloud that shut down the
entire European airspace. So my dad was stuck there for
(44:39):
over two weeks. He was off his morning show and
everyone was talking about it. It was like a really big,
big story. So he wanted to find a studio in
Dubai to get on the air and broadcast to Scotland
and do his morning show. So I went in with him,
kind of, you know, just shadowing him, I guess, and
they were like, what do you do? And I was
like seventeen at the time. I was like, I'm still
in school, but I really want to get into radio.
(45:00):
And they said, would you consider coming out and doing
like a summer internship? And I was like absolutely.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
And at this point you already felt comfortable in Dubai
because you had been so many times exactly.
Speaker 9 (45:08):
Yeah, So I did kind of know my way around,
and I knew to be respectful and you know how
the lulls work and stuff. Because it is kind of
it's very conservative, like compared to what it used to
be for the Middle East, but it's definitely different. You know,
you can't talk about alcohol, you can't talk about gambling
and all those kind of things.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
As in on the air or in general both kind of.
Speaker 9 (45:30):
Well yeah, mostly on the air, I mean.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, okay. So you're like, okay, cool. And so when
you turn eighteen, they offer you a job.
Speaker 9 (45:37):
Yeah, morning show producer like on air slash morning show producer.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
And what did your dad say about you moving to
Dubai after having been there a bunch times. It's different
being on vacation or holiday as you guys call it.
What do you say about moving there?
Speaker 9 (45:51):
He thought it was cool because they still had their
place there, so they lived. Yeah, until they kicked me
out and they were like, okay, we want it back
now this is our holiday spot, you know.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
So how long were you in Dubai.
Speaker 9 (46:01):
I was there for like five six years?
Speaker 2 (46:03):
And what was your ascent? Like in radio? There were
you producer the whole time? And then you left Dubai
to go get a different job or did you move
into a different role to the station.
Speaker 9 (46:11):
I moved into a different role I actually moved from
one station to another to like the biggest station out there,
which is Virgin Radio. So I was there. There's a
guy that does the morning show host. He's a good
friend of mine. He's called Chris Fade. He's like a
really big Australian radio personality in Dubai. He's like the
Ryan Seacrest of the Middle East, but he's Australian. Yeah,
and they accept that he's Australian Lebanese, which really works
(46:31):
because he's got like the kind of western side of
it of his heritage, and then he's also got like
the Middle Eastern side, so he really just talks to
a lot of a lot of the demographic there.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
So you worked for him.
Speaker 9 (46:41):
I worked with him. He was the assistant program director
at the time, and then I was doing the night show.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Okay, so you had your own show then, yeah, and
so you're there and then when do you leave? And
why do you leave?
Speaker 9 (46:51):
I got fired for doing what I just really didn't
get on with the program director. Personality company, yeah, personality conflict.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Yeah, and then you're like, what now, what.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
Do I do?
Speaker 9 (47:01):
I moved back to the UK. I didn't want to go.
I didn't want to stay there. I went through a
breakup as well. I kind of had a little bit
to do with it.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
So I want to just sidetracked for a second. Dude
to me, I've never been to Dubai. Just from what
I see about it on the news, it doesn't feel
like it'd be super safe.
Speaker 9 (47:19):
Is it so safe?
Speaker 2 (47:20):
More safe than even here?
Speaker 9 (47:22):
Define safe? Are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Like, I don't know. I don't want to get scooped
up and then thrown into a Dubai penitentiary and chop
my head off because because I showed my knee in
public or something.
Speaker 9 (47:33):
Have you ever been arrested here? No, So you'll never
get arrested there. Just don't do anything you wouldn't do
in your normal daily life.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
And but I want to you want to go do
buy and go crazy anyway?
Speaker 7 (47:43):
So I could, So I could.
Speaker 5 (47:44):
Urinate in an alley behind a building there.
Speaker 6 (47:46):
I mean, you can't do that here.
Speaker 7 (47:48):
But I've never been arrested for it.
Speaker 9 (47:49):
But like, don't get caught basically, so just don't be
so are there bars?
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah? Loads?
Speaker 9 (47:55):
Yeah, It's like that was my like university, that was
my college being in Dubai because I was a team,
right so that was like my going out partying and
having fun. I was also DJing after the show as
well in clubs and stuff, and I had the best time.
It was crazy. I used to have friends that come
over and they'd be like, you live like this, this
is crazy. I'd be like, no, I'm only doing this
because you're here.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
So do you feel like the representation of it because
it's in the Middle East is a bit unfair?
Speaker 9 (48:18):
One hundred percent? I think when I say yeah, Like
I started off by saying I moved to the Middle East,
what I should have said was I moved to Dubai
because I think when people hear the Middle East, especially
in North America, they're like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah I do. Even when you go Dubai, I'm like,
whoa Middle East. But ye, you have to be really
rich to live there because I see all the really
expensive things.
Speaker 9 (48:35):
Hey, it's tax free.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
What do you mean no tax? Like no income tax? Yeah,
no sales tax. Uh.
Speaker 9 (48:42):
They introduced like the smallest like luxury goods tax. I
think it's like two point five percent or something, but
no tax.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Wow. Yeah, that was fun looking up jobs now.
Speaker 9 (48:52):
I always tell everyone it balances out right because you're
spending so much money. It's really expensive there, especially if
you want to drink out there. It's really expensive because
everything's being important. Nothing's grown there. Really, it's difficult to like, yeah,
to make things there.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Would you ever want to go back and live there?
Speaker 1 (49:07):
No?
Speaker 9 (49:07):
But I really appreciate it going back now and enjoying
it as what it is designed for. And it's designed
to be a vacation place, so you will go back
one hundred percent. I got engaged there to my Canadian fiance.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
So you okay, so we're gonna get to Canada. So
you moved back to the.
Speaker 9 (49:21):
UK, which part this place in England called Gloucester, tiny
tiny place, tiny radio market.
Speaker 2 (49:27):
Well okay, so to do radio, Yeah, to do a
morning show, So you're doing mornings in Gloucester.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (49:32):
Is it Gloucester, England, UK?
Speaker 9 (49:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (49:34):
And how'd that go?
Speaker 9 (49:35):
It went really well for a year. I had the
best on air year I think in terms of like
growth and learning how to do a solo morning show
just me and a producer. I loved it. It was
for a really big brand, but one of their local affiliates.
The funny thing is my dad was on one of
those local affiliates too doing a morning show. We were
doing the same hours, playing the same songs in two
(49:58):
different markets at the same time for the same brand.
The station was, So you.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Aren't competing aast each other. You've never work up for
the same company, Yeah, got it? Yeah, And so how
long were you there until you moved?
Speaker 9 (50:07):
I was there for a year and then all of
a sudden, I think there was twenty five local morning shows.
We attended this group like programming meeting, and everyone kind
of knew that they were going to scrap one of
the local shows. We just didn't know which one. We
thought it was going to be afternoon Drive, but it
was mornings. So they canned twenty five morning shows like that.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
You and your dad, Yeah, yeah, same time.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (50:32):
My mom was like, oh, so then what happened? The
next day we got told to go back on the air.
We started to work out like the rest of the
couple months, knowing that we were just losing our jobs.
The next day, I was with my producer in the
studio and he was like, well, what are you going
to do? And I was like, I don't know. I'm
going to look at like see who I know and
where they are in the world. I don't want to
(50:52):
go back to Dubai. I was like, I've been there,
have done that. I always wanted to move to the US,
but it's really difficult with visa, especially if you don't
really have any experience over there yet. But with Canada,
the UK and Canada, they're in the Commonwealth, so your
passport kind of works and it's easy to get a visa.
So basically, I knew that my old program director who's
(51:14):
hired me in Dubai was in Vancouver. He was working
for a station called Kiss. So I booked a flight
to Vancouver on my own. I gave myself a month
flying back from Toronto, so kind of west coast, east coast,
with no plan in the middle, and I just thought
I'd network the hell out of it and try and
meet as many people as I could, you know, just
try and you know, hey, can I can I meet you?
(51:34):
Can we go for a coffee? Can we go for
a drink? This is what I do. You know, I've
got my show real I've been in Dubai.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Do you save up money from your jobs? Do you
have enough saved up to do this?
Speaker 9 (51:42):
They gave us like severance pay from that morning show,
so I used all of it for that, so it
was like all or nothing.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Really.
Speaker 9 (51:48):
On my last day in Toronto, I met my NOW
program director and it really worked out well. It was
right before COVID. They hired me and I was like, perfect,
I'll take the job. Went back to the UK, got
my visa. That was in July twenty nineteen, and I
moved there in September twenty nineteen, so you've been there.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
I saw a video of you in Richard Branson, which
I thought the picture of first was a fake plastic
or like a wax. Richard Branson was he was literally
at your station. Yeah yeah, yeah, So he's the big,
big big he oounds Virgin right because.
Speaker 9 (52:18):
I'm at Virgin Radio. So he came out because his airline,
Virgin Atlantic, had reintroduced the service from Toronto to London
Heathrow in England, so he was promoting that. So it's
part with that, you know. Whenever he's in town, you know,
I'm sure he's been at the Virgin hotel down the street.
I'm staying there here in Nashville for free. I got
(52:40):
a good deal.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
His room has like a pole in the it's pretty nice. Yeah,
the room. Yeah, like on the tights on the top
of the hole. Anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (52:49):
He's pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (52:50):
So yeah, I interviewed him when he came out. I'd
already met him before because he came out to Dubai
for the ten year anniversary of that station in Dubai
and we did a broadcast from the top of the
tallest skuy scraper in the world. It's called the Bersh
Khalifa and that was real fun. So yeah, I met
some amazing people along the way.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
And how long have you been at the station?
Speaker 1 (53:07):
Now?
Speaker 9 (53:07):
Five years? Just over five years? And what's you're all,
I'm the national night show host so.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
And what uh top forty yeah, top forty yeah, so
twelve twelve stations. I would imagine anybody in Canada then
that's going to do interviews comes by where you are
if you're there, Yeah, especially in Toronto. Yeah, Like you
get to see a lot of cool people. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (53:26):
The cool thing about Toronto as well is if you're
into movies, Mike, uh, the Toronto International Film Festival TIFF
is one of the biggest film festivals in the world,
so we get loads of stars coming in September for that.
But then Outside of that, we've also got a huge
number of huge venues that you know ours per format.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
And a couple of questions about living in Canada. It's cold.
Speaker 9 (53:48):
It is cold, and I made the mistake of visiting
first in July.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
When it wasn't as Oh yeah, yeah, what a mistake.
What outdoor sports do they do up there?
Speaker 9 (53:58):
They ski? They snowboard.
Speaker 2 (53:59):
What about there's really no golf? Right, Yeah, there's golf,
but I mean for like a window, I mean the
windows like open and close. Right.
Speaker 9 (54:05):
The courses are just about to open at the end
of the month.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
What about pickleball?
Speaker 9 (54:09):
Yeah, it's big, it's big, and uh, paddle pedal Yeah,
pedel paddle.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
I don't know, but it's basically similar. It's awesome because
you bounce it off walls and stuff. Yeah, we don't
have that here, but it's like racketball meets kind of
a paddle ball type thing.
Speaker 9 (54:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
Uh do you play? Do you play those?
Speaker 4 (54:23):
No?
Speaker 9 (54:23):
I don't. I play golf.
Speaker 1 (54:25):
I play golf, you do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (54:26):
How can you play golf if it's only like for
three months a year?
Speaker 9 (54:28):
It's quick. Yeah, you got to get out there as
much as you can.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
Yeah, So Miles and I met at iHeart Festival in Vegas,
and we were just walking to the hall and I
stopped and talk about them, and I was like, hey, man,
if you want to come and just like see what
we're doing, I don't know that'll help, but come come by.
And so he came down and flew out for a
couple of days.
Speaker 9 (54:46):
I feel like Charlie in the Chilcolip Factory. I've been
I've been listening to this show since when you guys
were on Top forty when I was in Dubai. Actually,
the reason I found you, I think I was just
looking for like radio shows to listen to them way
in because with the time difference, you know, we use
like prep sites and prep sheets. For those of you
who aren't in the industry, there's loads of prep that
(55:08):
you can get from morning shows. Most of them are
tailored for morning shows. But by the time I was
on the air doing a night show, it was already
like done.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
It was like news.
Speaker 9 (55:15):
It was old news. So I would always listen to
like West Coast or not West Coast, but like Western
time Zone or North American radio shows. I found you, guys,
and like I stole, tell me something good and loads
of stuff like that. So yeah, I always I always
remember listening to you guys, and yeah, just never never stopped.
(55:36):
Really And when I remember your last show on Top
forty radio moving to country, and I was like, wow,
I was like, do they know country music? I feel
like all I've heard them is talk about Kesha and
Justin Timberlake Justin Bieber Yeah, but you guys have You've
absolutely killed it. So congrats.
Speaker 2 (55:53):
That last show's funny. I have a picture in my
house in the last show that's in an office. I
haven't thought. I hadn't thought about that last show until
you brought it up last time we were talking, because
you had said you'd heard that show.
Speaker 9 (56:02):
I remember when you all left the studio one.
Speaker 2 (56:04):
By one, one by one.
Speaker 7 (56:06):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 9 (56:07):
I was in a coffee shop and dude by crying
listening to that. Yeah, I still remember it.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
That's awesome. So this is how crazy his workplace is.
They did one day allowed him to come down here
and he's working from studios here. Did they pay for
you to come down here?
Speaker 9 (56:23):
I know, I just paid my flights. I got a
really good deal in the on the hotel.
Speaker 6 (56:26):
Do you fly down here, Virgin.
Speaker 9 (56:28):
No, no, no, no, no air Canady have that here?
Speaker 5 (56:31):
Did?
Speaker 1 (56:31):
Well?
Speaker 2 (56:31):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (56:33):
I think there's Virgin America. I took in New York.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
To l a flight with no I mean fore no,
maybe not to Nashville. I've flown Virgin America before. It's awesome.
It's like lights. Yeah, when you walk there's like red lights,
green lights.
Speaker 9 (56:44):
I believe they were one of the first airlines. I
think Virgin Atlantic to have a stand up bar like
in the eighties.
Speaker 7 (56:51):
That's smart.
Speaker 9 (56:51):
That's on the plane.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 7 (56:53):
We need to bring that back.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (56:54):
Hey, how far is Toronto from here?
Speaker 6 (56:57):
Long?
Speaker 1 (56:57):
Two hours? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (56:58):
New York stop it.
Speaker 9 (56:59):
Yeah, you should come in hours. Yeah, come up to Toronto.
Just don't come in winter.
Speaker 7 (57:04):
It's too I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (57:06):
Mike went and it was not quite winter, but it
was getting there. Yeah, it was getting a look old.
It's cold, but it wasn't like super cold, and I
was like, if this is like mid cold, this sucks.
Everybody was super nice. Everybody's awesome.
Speaker 9 (57:16):
Well, your show is obviously on the iHeartRadio Canada country
affiliate is called Pure Country. Yeah, so obviously your show
goes on the same time as mine.
Speaker 1 (57:26):
So we're head to head competitors.
Speaker 5 (57:28):
And you know what's weird is this dude he met
one chick in Canada and he's marrying her.
Speaker 9 (57:31):
Yeah, that's right. I got to Toronto that week in
September and within a week I met mine now beautiful fiance, Heather.
Speaker 2 (57:40):
So you met more than one chick, you just met
her and then it was over.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (57:44):
I was like, could you get me a permanent residency
and she was like yeah, done.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
When did you get engaged?
Speaker 9 (57:49):
We got engaged in May twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (57:52):
And you're not married now, No, when are you getting married?
Speaker 9 (57:55):
Okay, yeah we are. No one knows that.
Speaker 2 (57:58):
We had to Yeah, we had to get to reveal
it here.
Speaker 9 (58:01):
No, it's fine, breaking news, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (58:03):
So you're married, Oh, just your status legally.
Speaker 9 (58:06):
No, it's not. It's nothing to do with that. We're
getting married.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (58:12):
Have you ever seen ninety day fiance?
Speaker 2 (58:14):
That's me.
Speaker 6 (58:15):
No.
Speaker 9 (58:16):
Basically, we're getting married in Scotland, where I'm from and
most of my family live. It's in a castle. Amazing,
ven you can't wait. That's in July. But to actually
get married officially, you have to provide like a certificate
by the time you get over there. So we went
to a park recently in Toronto with this wedding offician
and it was the most like it was like homeless
(58:37):
people in the park were getting married. It was like
a ten minute ceremony. So we got the legalities, the
formalities of it over and done with. So we are
officially married.
Speaker 2 (58:45):
Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (58:46):
So will you celebrate your anniversary like in July or
were you celebrated in the homeless people in the park
in July.
Speaker 9 (58:52):
Maybe we'll do something in the park as well.
Speaker 2 (58:55):
I do so Miles is here is going to be
the next couple of days. But I do have to
get to this spill the tea because I know we
put it in the teaser and we had a little
issue with our video at first. So do Ray, do
we have this ready? So someone here on the show,
this has not on Miles. By the way, this is
not about Miles, Okay. I put this in the description
(59:18):
of the video, so I need to make sure we
do it so people that are here, like, I never
heard that spill the tea. So someone on the show
anonymously wanted to spill the tea on somebody else. So first, Ray,
would you play spill the tea.
Speaker 7 (59:30):
Let's spill the tea.
Speaker 2 (59:32):
And so this is anonymous. They're they're using the voice changer.
It's thirty one seconds hit it ray.
Speaker 4 (59:40):
This message is about Eddie. Does he not understand when
you water a plant that you need to have something
underneath it to catch the water. Eddie brought us plants
and thought, oh, what a great gift. But one sits
outside the studio and Eddie continues to water it and he.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
Pours a bunch of water in it, and the water just.
Speaker 4 (59:58):
Comes out the bottom of the plant and weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
All over the table and floor.
Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
But Eddie doesn't care about keeping on workspace clean or
common areas clean as plant. Who cares if it weeks
all over the floor? Eddie too better?
Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Okay, that's anonymous. I wonder who that was.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
That was.
Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Eddie?
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Your answer to that?
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Yeah, I really couldn't understand much of it because it
was anonymous.
Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
But I guess like you're being sloppy. There's water everywhere
from you with this plant, but that's not my plant.
I don't even know what they're talking about, you watering it?
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
No? Oh, then I don't even know who, Like I.
Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Gave you, I didn't.
Speaker 8 (01:00:33):
Right, So I gave yours to someone else. It's not
even here. And then I gave Amy one and lunchbox.
Lunchbox said he took his home, So I guess that's Amy's.
Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
I'm not watering it, so I don't know, man, who's
watering it?
Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Scoba, Do we know anything about this?
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I don't know. There's one over here on the table
of it.
Speaker 7 (01:00:51):
It's got some water underneath this. I'm not sure. Well,
maybe the clean lady waters it. Maybe let's let's just
say this.
Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
I mean, whoever it was anonymous may have been sitting
there and watched Eddie un screw a bottled water and
pour water into it right around that table.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Is watering it, so I did.
Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
I don't remember that, lunchboxes.
Speaker 8 (01:01:08):
So yeah, he just threw himself under the bus. He's
the he's the anonymous, but I.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Think he took that. He said, I'll die on my
sword to.
Speaker 7 (01:01:13):
See because she denied watering is.
Speaker 5 (01:01:16):
I was like, all right, if you're gonna lie about
watering it, I'll go ahead and reveal myself on this one.
Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
So why are you water Why don't you just take
it home?
Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
I guess I will, Yeah, I guess if Amy.
Speaker 6 (01:01:23):
Doesn't want it, well, how do you know that's fine?
Speaker 8 (01:01:26):
Because lunchbox took his home bobbies bobbies, I give it
to someone else in the building.
Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
Oh, that's mine.
Speaker 7 (01:01:32):
Then she's like she was like, how am I getting
busted here?
Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Hold on, yeah, I want up. Let's get all the
plants out can we We're getting the habit of leaven
like stuff out there. Let's not get in the habit.
I don't care who Scuba puts in charge of every
day making sure that our little lobby is. I'm not
saying spick and span, but we got some stuff from
Walmart last week on Friday. They sent in a bunch.
They have a new food line. People send stuff all
(01:01:57):
the time. The stuff is still sitting there like half eaten.
We're acting on it, like move it in the snack
room because it's been there for like four days.
Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
I don't want to do anything. You're taking the snack room.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Then the saleslady isn't get home. It doesn't sit in
the lobby for four days because it doesn't look good.
We look like slobs.
Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
Question what what if we just get like a bottom
for the plant and then it's like a welcome like
it's a it's a it's not a bad plant, it's
just it needs a bottom.
Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
We can't even keep snacks not looking like they're tossed in.
There's garbage every all the time. So we'll work on
plants and maybe bases. Picture all that later.
Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
I was going to see if we could get a
I forget the exact kind. I'll look it up. But
there's a particular plant that's really good for the air
in here, and.
Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
I want to plants in here.
Speaker 6 (01:02:42):
What no, Bobby, Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
It'll get knocked over. This carpet is terrible. We can't
have anything nice.
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
We're gonna walk it.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
We can't anything.
Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
We'll be gone for a week vacation.
Speaker 6 (01:02:55):
Don't you want cleaner?
Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Why don't we get like a pet porcupine and a
a terrarium in here as well?
Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
I was going to say a gumball machine is good
from morale in the studio.
Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
We have learned the one thing we've long. We can't
have anything nice for living because it dies or it breaks.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
No, Like a fish would be cool and.
Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
It would die. Yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
So the tank breaks in the air, water everywhere around
all this equipment.
Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
Spider plant, that's what it is.
Speaker 7 (01:03:25):
A ship of sale.
Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
No chloros I.
Speaker 8 (01:03:29):
Gave you a money plant. You didn't even want that.
What do you want?
Speaker 6 (01:03:32):
Because the air lunchbox brings into diseases. And if we
have a spider okay.
Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Says miss covids, have covid in here for a week.
Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
