Speaker 1 (00:01):
Comitting, Hey, what's so Welcome to Tuesday show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Appreciate everybody being here. All right, more in the studio morning.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, let's go around the room and check in
with everybody. We're trying to convince him to start wearing
a tupe, but he thinks it'll look fake and.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
He says, no way. It's producer Eddikay.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
So I got a question for you guys that I
saw online. I was like, this is interesting. Who is
the most underrated country artist in your mind? Like somebody
that you really like but never gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Okay, I would say for the amount of hits that
he has, So there's two versions of this, I would
say Billy Carrington. So many massive songs and sometimes you
don't know that that's him when.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You start to go what's Billy Carrington's playlist?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It's one banger after another banger, Hey girl, watch you.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Nay girl, good turn beans.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And I would go Billy Currington for an artist that
has massive success that probably isn't considered in that group
that sometimes they have less success than him. But part
of that too, is it Billy just goes away and
does his thing, and so he doesn't want to play
the game, and sometimes you gotta play the game a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But I'll go Billy Carrington.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And then also I think underrated can mean just not
discovered yet, like not hit, And so I would say,
like an Ian Munsick.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh that's a good one, dude.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You know, he performed at our Million Dollar Show. I've
done an hour long podcast with him. He does his
own style and he's from the West. He lived on
a ranch. He does whatever he does. He does like
those wolf howls and his songs. Yeah, and it's all legit.
He dresses like that, he is like that. Yeah, and
he's so good. And I think it's taken him a
bit of time to start to break through because he's
(01:56):
been so different. But then once you break through and
you're different, you own it. So I go Ian Munsick
as well. The really fascinating thing about Ian is so
in and I sat for an hour and talked to
Ian has a pretty determined stutter. Oh yeah, and after
a while the stutter was a bit less. But when
he talks in normal life, he is a stutter. When
(02:16):
he sings, no stutter, And we talked about that. That's
amazing how that works. Yeah, it was sing in front
of five thousand people, no stutter but talking.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
He can't fix it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, so I would go those two Billy Carrington and
Ian munsick.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But this can be interpreted so many ways.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I feel like, yeah, so many. I wish I'm thinking
of more people. I wish we played more up on
the radio. Go ahead, Well, like Casey Musgraves, I've just
been listening to her new album a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I'm not the only one that plays her.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah that's a good one because yeah, she I mean,
she's always say she's rated very highly.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Grammy for the Album of the Year.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
We don't in country radio don't hear a lot from her, though,
I do you do that player all time?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But just in general, she.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Doesn't really even she doesn't do much stuff here though.
It's kind of like Billy Carrington. It's not like she's
and for a good reason, and I get it. I
wish I could do that and be like screw everybody,
but you know, purposefully, she doesn't do a lot of
in Nashville stuff. I mean, her whole Golden Hour record
wasn't even country really, But I okay, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Parker McCall, I just love that dude.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And I feel like when you have a list of
country artists, he's never really on there.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So all the people we named a Casey Parker, Billy
through Massive park ourselves out of arenas, you know, amphitheaters.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But Parker's young. You only had a few hits because
he's so young.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
He's got jams due every time I hear one of
his songs, like gosh, it's gonna the new of the
Burn that Burns, It's so so good.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Gosh, we need to get this guy going to full ray,
Sam Hunt and Parker.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
No, no, no, no, I'm not like that. Oh I'm not
gonna start dressing like Parker or anything.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Again, you can defind it however you want. But I
feel like Parker's pretty widely like respected. Hey, we need
to get him.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Higher, higher rated. How do we okay rate him higher?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Guys?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Go ahead, lunchbox, Chris Stapleton, excuse me, Chris Stapleton.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I mean he's I think everybody.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
No, no, he's a superstar. But I don't we don't
ever play him.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yes, he's had, he's on the radio, like his last
three songs about number ones.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
All right, Well, the question is not who do you love?
Like who do you love?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That doesn't get a lot of at But how would
you say Stapleton's underrated?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like people he wins, He's like everybody knows his best singer.
He's considered one of the top ten songwriters in the
past fifty years. He's got multiple number one hits, he
sells out tours. So how would he be under underrated
in your mind?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Has he won Entertainer of the Year.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, yes, actually two years ago. Yeah, okay, okay, so
we'll move on from the underrated part. But what was
the question? Why does he love him so much? No,
he just does love him so much. Yeah, like he's
really good? Was the question that who?
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Okay, who is under I mean I don't know anybody
that's underrated then because I don't really pay attention to.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
All Right, okay, anybody in your radar knew anybody that
they came in the studio and you're like, man, they're
really good.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Who came in here?
Speaker 7 (05:12):
There?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Recently a lot of people know that the.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Legs, the stray guys. Just because they gave me a hoodie.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
The reded So if they give you free stuff, they.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yeah, well, I mean that was the best giveaway.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Like most people come in, they don't give you anything.
They give you a CD.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
It's like, oh, I mean they gave us legit like
nice hoodies.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And I was like, this is perfect. So that's your
official answer? Will accept it?
Speaker 8 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What's then answer?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
The straight clays, straight clays, red red, red red stray clays.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Almost think of dirt. I mean you've got the words
the red dirt, straight red. Oh you said think of dirt.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Because red clay on the ground.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I think of dirt. It's not say dirt. All right,
let's get going here.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Glad you guys are with us. We got a big
show playing for you. Today's Sam Hunt's coming up in
just a little bit. He'll be in studio lockerray of.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Let's open up the mail bags. You friend the name
mail and we read it all the air.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
It's something we call Bobby's mail bag.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, hello, Bobby Blonas. I've always proud of myself on
my looks. Take great care to make sure I always
look my best. About six months ago, I was in
a car accident. It left me with a significant scard
in the middle of my forehead. Now I don't want
to go out in public and I can't imagine anyone
finding me attractive. It's a few times that I've been
out I can tell people are looking at my scar.
How can I totally change the way I've always felt
about myself? And then my looks is the most important
(06:35):
thing about me? Can ever learn to love a less
attractive version of myself? Signed Misty and Minnesota. Well, sometimes
things are introduced to us in a way that are
not pleasurable but are really good for us long term.
But we all got to lose our looks anyway. Eventually
we're get older, like that's gonna happen. And I get
(06:57):
if that was your thing, Like you're the hotty and
all of a sudden you can still be high, but
with a scar, so don't let don't. People probably aren't
even thinking about the scar. If it's just a scar.
They may see it because it's there on a forehead.
It's kind of hard. It's like if somebody walks in
with like part of their hair dyed green. It's like
just a little strip. You're probably like, well, that's a shame.
We don't think about it any more than that one
second where you look at it. But also it's a
(07:20):
probably a good lesson per opportunity. Yeah, but I'm assuming
if you guys pride of yourself on look, you probably
also looked at other people's looks and held them in
higher regard because of it. And so but now maybe
you're understanding that that isn't really the most important thing.
And it's kind of a Again, it's a hard lesson sometimes,
(07:40):
but I think macro versus micro it can be a
really great lesson. Anybody you'd want to be with anyway
is not going to be turned off just if you
have a scar on your head.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Like if there's.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Somebody that you would have met and you thought you'd
have fallen in love and you'd have been so happy together,
that's not that kind of person that won't be with
you now because of a scar.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is not that person anyway. So that sucks.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
A lot of stuff sucks in life. You know what
you gotta do. Son comes up, You get up with it,
and now you get to learn a lesson that a
lot of people learn later. And you know what, the
lesson's not even gonna be. It's not near as big
as you think it is. It's like when we're worried
about getting up and embarrassing ourselves in public, or if
you have to give a speed or whatever it is.
We're like, oh, if I humiliate myself, nobody's thinking about
(08:21):
it one second after it's over, because everybody's so self
consumed anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So good for you.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You get to learn and you get to find value
in more important things.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, signed ugly geeky Bobby. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I think it's an opportunity to get to know other
parts of you, because you do have more to offer
than your looks. So get to know the other things
about you that are amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
And if it's just a scar and you're very good looking,
you're still probably pretty good looking.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It's true, and.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
It's a conversation starter.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, scars are cool man.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, there's always a story behind a scar.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That story is not good. You can make up a
good story. Robin a liquor store. I got a good story.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I got bit by a shark. You change it, Yeah,
you should change it. And then later you're like, I'm
just joking. I was just Robin liquor store.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, it sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you, but
I think you'll get a lot from it. And it
also allows you to understand that that's not the most
important thing in life. If that was your understanding that
that was the most important thing in life. We always
we get these lessons of different ways. So yeah, congratulations.
Look at it as a as a bit of time
to grow and the person you've been happy with forever.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And a person's not gonna date you now because your scar.
That's all all right, close it up.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
We got your game mail and we read it on
your Now it's find the clothes Bobby failed that year.
We're gonna play never Gonna Get It, and I'm gonna give.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You the question. Then we're gonna play the new theme song.
Speaker 3 (09:46):

these automotive accessories?
Speaker 2 (09:52):

another hint.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Fourteen percent still due in another like eleven percent say
they used to, so half of them have hunted it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And that's a free hint.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Oh that's a tough one. I'm gonna take a wild
guess here, and I'm gonna say the air freshener. Are
you hanging fart in your rear of your mirror?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hey, you'll, you'll tree, you'll pine try Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, great guess, but that's not it. It's hard
because you're never gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You know you're not gonna get it. You're never give me.
How do you feel fine? Lunchbox? Great, Eddie? I feel good.

fourteen percent say they still do.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
About eleven percent say they used to, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
We're talking about the club that you put in your
steering wheel so they don't steal it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That's interesting, it's actually good. Morgan.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Well, they used to have is a lot when I
was in high school. It's the wheel and seat covers,
and they can be all different kinds of things. They
can be fuzzy.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We all like on top of the.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Wheel, on the wheel, and then also on the seat.
They all match.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, lunchbox tassel hanging from the rear view.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Like after you graduate high school yep, or college.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
People did that a lot, mostly high school again, Yeah,
people did that.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
A vanity plate, also known as like a personalized.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
License, right one? Amy? Hey Courtney, Yes, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Of those four answers, which one did did you like
the best? It doesn't matter, it doesn't. Somebody got it, really, yeah, somebody.
Speaker 10 (12:15):
Got the club, probably the.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Club we all hate.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
They tricked you into saying the club. I don't think
it's definitely not. We all had. I never had the
club we use. The club costs more than my cars.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Back then, I was just seeing if she would stay
loyal to Amy and I.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I guess you kept the club.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
She didn't say there is vanity plates. Amy is the
winner and so is Courtney. Wow, congratulations court.

vanity plate say, Courtney, if you get to assign one

What about me?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I don't know?
Speaker 10 (14:33):
What would Bobby's say? You would probably just get a
picture of like the uh, the University of Arkansas mascot
yours wouldn't say anything. You would probably just say the
University of Arkansas. Or you would probably put like Caleb's
husband on it because that's probably your favorite title.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeh c T L n h B sort of yeah

What about dumb it d M b A.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Alright, Coordiney is our winner.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
It's time for the good news, So shout.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Out to Laurie Pinya, who is a mom of six
and her husband. I think that's probably why they were
dialed in on the toddler that was walking.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
On the freeway or near it.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Oh my god, and they're like, okay, something's not right
with this, and if that was one of our kids,
we got to stop right now.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
We got to help this kid out. They ended up contact.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Way, yeah, and the toddler was able to communicate that
he lived in a house near by and was able
to get the officers there.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Once the police showed up.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Some mature toddler or like the oldest level of toddler four,
like a young four yea four five? So the five
is not toddler, it's not kindergarten's not toddler. Oh okay, right,
no way, that's toll But there are no rules and
we're being way too no way, idiots.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Well, he was left with his six year old brother
at home, and they what they determined was when the
dad got home shortly thereafter.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Who knows what happens.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Child services is looking into this, but there was a
safe environment. Everybody seemed to be doing good. So it's
probably one of those crazy wild.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
That happens, right, super accidents happened. This is the actual
definition of a toddler. One to two. There's no way
that two year old could be that communicative. Okay, uh.
Three to five is considered a preschooler. But I didn't
know that toddler or preschooler were like the same version.
They didn't know either the internet stupid.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
Yeah, telor can totally before.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's that's a good story. I'm glad they found the toddler.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
Good so far, we're still looking into it.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, but the kids safe. Good, it's safe. That's what's
all about.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
That was telling me something good on the Bobby Bone Show. Hey, Sam,
good to hear it. Good to see you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
The microphone is on your in your chair over there,
and you should be able to hear.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Ray mess up a few times. You get Ray. Yeah,
I've got to see you are real good.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I was pumped because I saw your tour and we
were talking with your old football coach and this this
is a whole situation where we're talking to Ty Hilton.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, so Ryan too, and were up at wester Kentucky
working out with the team. So he's the head coach
there now, Yeah, And he said, was he your quarterbacks coach?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The offensive coordinator? What was he?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (18:13):
He was, He was the quarterbacks coach and then also
helped out with the offense. So his his dad, it
was a long time legendary coach coach there at ub
when I was there, and then Tyson, his son was
it was the quarterback coach. Yeah, so he was, and
he was not that much older. He was he was
older than us, but he was fairly younger.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah. No, yeah, I mean so we're hanging out and
he said, he said, hey, you ever talk to Sam?
I said, yeah, sometime. So Tyson's the Hilltoppers head coach.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Now and is he the head coach? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Oh wow, yeah he's crushing. And he said, uh, tell him,
I sew what up? And give him my number? And
I was like, I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't really know how to handle this right now,
but he sent along his regards.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Would you still I'd like to I'd like to get
your get his numbers.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh we got it in the good this is all
thank goodness. No, no, we can give you a number
that because I was like, I don't know. I'm told Sam,
you want to know you're good?
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Yeah? Absolutely cool, good night. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
We stayed in touch for a long time and then
after life got crazy, when you know, several years after
moved to Nashville. I just I've not talked to a
lot of folks that from my past life.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
You have to change your number.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I have a couple of times because people like I
don't know Stalker's ray, I mean any like people like that.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
No, No, I don't remember.
Speaker 12 (19:24):
I changed Actually I had the same number until about
five years ago, and I've changed it twice since then.
And and it's good. I get overwhelmed a little bit
with times. Would you regular one number to everybody?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I just give you his number or give him your number.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Either one, I'll take it. I'll take his number from me.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Was talking about how he's like, I just tend to
give my number out to anybody and then.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I can go from.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
So I have a little guilt for unanswered text messages,
and I am bad with text messages, and then so
that guilt sort of weighs on me.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And anyway, give the red dots, like lots of red dots?
Are you that guy? Or do you clear them all off?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Now? They're in there.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
So you don't even open them. So your guilt is
not that you open them and then don't respond or
forget to respond. It is that you just never open them.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
No, I Ope.
Speaker 12 (20:10):
A lot of times it'll be I'll see them while
I'm driving, or I'll be in the middle of a
writing session, or I'll be in the studio and I'll
see the text come in and I look at it
and I'm like, Okay, I think to myself, you know,
I'll get back back to yeah, and then it just
adds up.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
My problem is if people text me at like ten
thirty PM, even nine thirty, if I'm asleep, because if
to wake up so early on the weekdays, I'll see
it at three point thirty and.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I'm like, I can't reply now because I'll wake them up.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
And then I don't even think back about it at
eleven because I've already moved past it.
Speaker 12 (20:40):
I know, and I'm sort of add So if I'm
in a frame of mind or in a state of mind,
I've got some focus going. If I entertain a conversation
that is about something completely different than whatever I was
thinking about's gone and now I'm in the world of
this text message conversation.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So do you think you can write a song about
anything and it'd be good?
Speaker 8 (21:00):
No? No, definitely not.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I have.
Speaker 12 (21:02):
That's why it's so hard for me to put out music,
because there's only I feel like, my h the sweet
spot for what I can write about or what would
work for me is it's so small that a lot
of ideas come along that I'll just I'll pass on
them or think, you know, that's just not a good
idea for me. But oh, there's probably plenty of guys
in Nashville who could write those ideas and they end
(21:24):
up great songs.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The legacy of Sam Hunt the writer is that you
are much more of a perfectionist or someone who needs
to sit with it a lot longer than the average songwriter.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Would you say there's truth to that?
Speaker 12 (21:38):
Yeah, I think I got that reputation during about a
three year period where I was probably overthinking and you know,
I wrote my first album and had some success with it,
and then I should have been writing while I was
on the road, but I was touring for two years
not writing at all. So when I went back in
to write, I was trying to figure out exactly what
I had done on the first album that made it successful,
(22:02):
and so I think I started overthinking that and trying
to get a little too formulaic and breaking everything down
into this sort.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Of math problem you had a little bit, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Think, so are you still in that spot where you
need to live with it for days and days and days.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
No, I've stepped back away from that.
Speaker 12 (22:16):
I've I tend to just move forward now, which is
the approach of most songwriters who I write with. It's
just just keep going and get the song written, and
that tends to be more productive if you zoom out
and look at.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
It long term.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Body like a backroad one of those who took a
long time and kept rewriting.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
Yeah, yeah, it's funny to like the silliest song I have.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
But sure it's silly in that, but still you had
to find the exactly that song's got to make you
feel are envisioned certain things.
Speaker 12 (22:47):
That was the problem was there was so many ways
to miss and then that was one where if I
missed bine inch, I'd missed by a mile, And so
it was a delicate tightrope walk and so I had
to get it just right.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
So like it was just writer or did you go
I can't hold onto this any longer?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
A live bit of both.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
Yeah, I finally got I just I didn't want to
have any lines or sections that were that didn't match
the rest of the song and feel like the same character.
But I also feel like it just came out because
if I wanted to feel like it just came off
the top of the head, top of my head, but
it took more thought and effort to get it to
make it feel like that.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
It kept feeling overwritten.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
Every every line early on was like a reference to
the back Road, and it was like just felt overwritten
and too cute.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
So I had to find that sweet spot. It took
a little while.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
If I especially when I've written books, but or even
a joke, if I live in it so long, I
lose whatever I thought was good about it, Like I
can't identify it anymore. Like if I'm writting a joke
and I'm like, man, I don't even know if this
is funny, and because I've just been inside of it
so long, or the book too, I'm like, I hate
it because I don't do you do that with songs
where you're in it so much you can't even identify
what was good to you at first.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
Yeah, And that's the argument against taking too much time
with something and trying to or we're just overthinking it,
is that will come a point where you can't see
it anymore and you just you lose perspective. And so
that initial burst of inspiration, it's almost better. I think
to try to mine that for all you can early on,
(24:17):
while you've got that, why you can really see it
and instead of sleeping on it and coming back to
it weeks later.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I locked up tour. You guys get tickets at Sam
hunt dot com. Russell Dickerson, George Burgh on the Canadian run,
which we're in a bunch of Canadian places too, shout
out Dalton Dover kicks off June twenty eighth, and it's
in you know, a lot of cities. The shows in
June twenty eighth and Bendor again end up doing that northwest,
coming all the way through. I guess my question is
(24:42):
I wouldn't watch John Mayor's acoustic tour, which I'm a
big John marrafan, Like, that's like the first songwriter I
ever heard speak for me, just to me, but for me,
I'm like, oh, you see a good comedian. You're like, oh,
I thought that. I just didn't think of it like that.
He was the first person that I ever heard.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Write a song. I was like, oh, I've always thought that,
I just know how to say it.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
His lyrics are really thoughtful.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
And guys like that or who those are the guys
that make me overthink lyrics, just there's a bar there
that though some of the guys like that set and
you always feel like you're.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Not People do that to you too in the same way, right,
they're like, well, Sam's the bar because he will spend
all this time getting it perfect. We all have a bar,
and we're all somebody else's bar too, and it's just
not to be driven crazy by the freaking bar.
Speaker 12 (25:21):
Yeah, right, And we all value subjective and we value
different things some people some songwriters value they wanted from
the melody to be fantastic and wanted to feel and flow.
I've already always been attracted as a lyrics and John
Mayer has some great lyrics.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
He did the Acoustic Torn It was super cool, and
I wondered, but I'm a massive fan, like what it
was going to be like with him just up there
with a guitar and really nothing else.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I feel like that kind of show that would be
awesome for you to do.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Would you ever do that? Just go out and go
to me and a guitar, let's go.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Yeah, I've thought about that. He's a fantastic guitar player.
I don't know if I could carry a show with
just me but if I had a couple partners with
me to play maybe or something that could work potentially.
I thought about that, Yeah, like doing theaters, maybe throwing
some old covers.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Are people surprised at because if they just have heard
a few songs on the radio, Let's say they're not
a massive Sam Hunt fan or even a massive country
music fan, but they're just a casual of both or either.
Are they sometimes surprised at? Like how country you actually are?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Because you are?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I mean you're literally like you grew up in it.
Give you a guitar or you can play it all.
Do you find people like, oh, you actually are that dude?
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Yeah? I think it comes out, I guess.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
And if people are surprised, I think people have preconceived notions.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
I think about it sometimes.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
I guess I grew up country, but I grew up
Southern country, and there's so many shades of country.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
In the South.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It's classic rock, which is a big part of country. Yeah,
and in the South to hip hop's a massive I
mean even for me in Arkansas, well hits streaming music
though right like the generation above us, they only could
get it at stores and so regionally there would only
be a dominant amount of whatever was big, but like
you're seeing folks now that are in their mid thirties,
(27:11):
late thirties, early forties who had the opportunity to be
influence and affected by everything. Yeah, and that's a bit
of what I feel like at times your music isn't
in the greatest way. But I think sometimes people are
like Sam, like it's really country and they're surprised by it.
Speaker 12 (27:25):
I told you, yeah, I just I never there's so
many themes that in country that we push really really hard,
and the country boy lifestyle like that gets pushed really hard,
and it's it's almost sometimes feels like it's a signal
to that group to say, hey, I am one of you.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I am one of you, and it feels pandury and.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Like like when they check certain artists, it's very pandury.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Yeah, there's an element of that.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
So I've always been, I guess, try to avoid that
and probably going a little too far out of my
way to avoid it.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
The new EP that just came out, so four songs.
Outskirts is on it, which we're gonna play coming up
in just a second, but the other three songs locked
up Yeah, like a really personal song it's gonna be
people you really trust. We set that aside for when
you're gonna be with people like Shane mcinally.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
Yeah, essentially, I love branching out and right when you folks.
But for the most part, because of that relationships, you
just can't replace a ten year relationship overnight. So for
the most part, I still just write with the two
or two or three folks, and luckily we have that
long term relationship and we've talked about everything under the sun.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, I'd be worried, like to get too personal with
somebody I don't really know, because like what are they
going to take out and tell their buddies?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah right, Like that's what, right?
Speaker 9 (28:39):
And it just not like hippa.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
No, there's not hip and song there should be, absolutely
should be.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
We talked about a body like a Backer.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
One of the things I learned from that song is
that there are people out there that just want to
hear a lighthearted, easy going song. It's easy to sing too,
and it puts a smile on their face. So I've
leaned into that since then, and this is one of
those songs that that I don't know that fits that
Bill Funny.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
We talked about John Mayra, but he was in and
him and I talked for like half an hour and
we were talking about songs that are like that, and
he's like, you know, the songs that people mostly connect
with are not the ones I spent the most time on.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
He was talking about waiting on the World to change.
He was like, that song feels like I just.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Wrote it and was like generic, yeah, and he goes,
but that's the one that people most connect with. And
at times, as he said, sometimes you can get in
your head so much about creating something that is so
revolutionary that then nobody relates to exactly.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:32):
Yeah, that that desire to validate yourself as an artist,
I think is in anybody who does anything creative.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
And but that's just that's ego.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
And you once you feel that in a song and
it feels trying, it can it can be. You know,
it's not lost on the listeners. So hopefully, you know,
I'm capable of writing some of those songs at times
when they come out, and naturally they can be what
they're supposed to be. But I think I took for
granted songs like lighthearted songs that are just that are families,
(30:05):
and you know, I see, we have a lot of
kids at our shows now, which is interesting, and there
songs like this, you know that my brother can put
on in the car with all his with all his
kids and they can all sing along to it.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
So there's something to be said for that too.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I got a song I'm just looking for the right
person to write it with. It's called rural plural murals.
It's the hardest thing along ever and nobody really has
the ability or the.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
They really don't have the guts to write it with me,
have they, Eddie. That's it the guts. So what I
wanted to write was the hardest ever. It's about driving
in the country.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Real plural murals, murals, ploral rural murals, whichever one. But
it's like multiple murals in a rural city, and all
of a sudden you're just affected.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You're like, all right, you singing rural plural.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know anybody gets so, you know, I don't know
if that's just think about it, just to keep that
on the back song for you. Yeah, But I mean,
but you're you know, you're great song alright've written for
other people. So if something like comes to you, like
a good melody for rural plural murals.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Yeah, I'll think on that.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, let me because that's one of those you know,
that's one of those next level ones.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I can't tell if it's got a ring to it
or or the opposite.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Both at the same time. That's it's so next level.
It's so simple with a ring but no ring at all.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Take that out of here.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Who blew on my mind?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
You announce a tour now, Skirts are doing really well.
But did you put out the music to go, hey,
here's some new stuff you can see if you come
out and you've seen me on a hundred times before, sorry.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
When you play those live?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Or do you put out the new music so people
can go, oh cool, it's put out some new stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
We'll also get to see them to a few new songs.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
Yeah, I mean putting out new music. Try to put
out as much as I can.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
But are you thinking about plural and your roles? When
I ask you that question, he was already in it.
I could see he was trying to write a song
there in his head. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 12 (31:42):
Uh, the biggest thing was putting out I wanted to
put out a new album, but it probably would if
I had put out all the songs at once, it
would be about right now before I had gotten them
all done and out. So I've been putting this album
out a little bit at a time, and I have
the last three songs ready now, So this is really
(32:03):
me putting out the last bit of what has been
an album over a year and a half.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
But I didn't want to put out all.
Speaker 12 (32:09):
Those songs as an album because seven of them have
already come out, and I feel like my my fan
base is already sort of rolling their eyes that how
little music I put out, and to put out songs
as an album that have already been out just didn't
quite feel like it would land very well.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
What do you think you can max out bench press?
Because I know what I can. Oh man, we don't
do that anymore.
Speaker 12 (32:33):
But probably if I tried it, i'd probably my shoulders
would probably both blow out, But.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
So Sam and I have the same trainer. We trained
a time right by each other. I mean we're the
same size on't original train together because we're probably lift
the same weights.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know that's true? We should yeah by you know
what I thought about it? Like two sixty yeah about Wow,
don't worry about me though it's only on Instagram. Don't
worry about me though.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Is that like one press?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, one's like a lot of plates, bars bending based.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Wow, that's like that's two big plates and what like?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I have so many you can't even count it. Yeah,
I was counting the murals the plural.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Well, at least Kluge is doing his job. He's got
you up to too six.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Where you at, Sam? Yeah, where you at? I don't
know that's how you know? So Mu's really strong or
really good at what they do. They don't even need
to say they just like you want to feel bad.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
I'm afraid to guess, and then I get in there.
Always overestimate my strength. I don't know where I would be.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
You have any injuries from playing ball that still hurt?
Like when it rains?
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Yeah, I have had two back surgeries in college.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Still bother you when he gets the weather gets a
little little funky.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
I mean they kind of bothered me all the time.
Speaker 12 (33:39):
But yeah, certain times a year, I don't know if
it's the weather or my you know, trying to do
too much in the gym. But yeah, I've got to
sort that out at some point.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Sam a big fan obviously, Thanks for playing our our
show for Saint Jude, which I was listening.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Super cool, Thank you, said, y'all have me again. Yeah,
and then the tour Sam Hunt dot com.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
All the tickets are up there and there are a
million places that we're on that you can hear us.
And I would get tickets as fast as you can
because I I just heard there.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Oh, they're almost sold out. They got in my ear
right now, they're almost what's that? Some of them are sold.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Out for Wednesday night?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
No, I don't know, I'm talking about you.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
It's already happened.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
What Yeah, Yeah, my brother's coming.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
In reality, it's actually we're recording this the day before
the show, but we're acting like it already.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Which, by the way, you crushed them in You crushed it.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
You did great.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
But I don't know why I started flashing that. It
was weird if you did. Like so she got up
at the show Wednesday night. All the dudes started flashing
us and I.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Was like, I've never seen that before.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
No, it's weird, saying it's crazy. Man if sum up?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
But oh boy, Sam show in one word for people
like if they're going to go see a show like
what's to raise one word?
Speaker 11 (34:56):
What's it about ray uh old school meets new?
Speaker 3 (35:01):
What about Sam is awesome to you? Did you bring
him up a lot?
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Well?
Speaker 11 (35:05):
I told you guys back in the day he started
the baggy shirt movement.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He was one of the first people to ever do
it where he wore the shirt down to his knees.
Speaker 11 (35:11):
And so I didn't have any of those shirts, so
I would wear like cut off shirts underneath my actual
hang shirt so it'd be even long though, and my
wife eventually, the girlfriend back then, just said stop wearing
your shirts.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Like Sam Hunt, all that was because of a long shirt.
Speaker 11 (35:25):
All this, I mean, he's the one that started it
across America, but it was the sham Hunt and then
I saw him do it, so I started doing it,
and then T Babe started doing it upstairs, and then
it spread across the country.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
But I'm saying it's just a shirt. It was the shirt.
I mean, that was his swag.
Speaker 11 (35:39):
So his clothing and then his music was good as well.
But he had an aura and you could just feel
it in his shows. And like I wanted to ask
you this one quick thing, So do you remember the
Dave and Buster show, Like back in twenty fourteen in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I mean it was a venue way too small.
Speaker 11 (35:52):
For you, and dude, there were cop cars, there was
a security called in.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Dudes were flipping tables.
Speaker 11 (35:57):
I think that's really where you started to feel how
big you worthy.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
You were bigger than the venues you were playing in.
Speaker 12 (36:02):
Right, Yeah, that's the first time I'd seen any like
excitement from people about the music. And it was, uh yeah,
it was outside the uh the David Busters and uh
that Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
That was because I mean I hang out at that mall.
Speaker 12 (36:17):
I go to that ma all the time, and so
I'm standing there all the time, and then I'm in
that same environment and then there are barriers and you know,
lots of people in the parking lot and everybody's singing
along to the song.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So it was a wild That was a wild moment, dude.
That's where I got the first taste. And I was like, oh,
I don't say you got the first taste.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
See it was all good, like we felt it. It
was pretty good, mature. The first taste feels weird first.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
The best part about that, but it's right here, does
they first taste?
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, that time in Ray's life is on Instagram. He
posts this photo of David Busters, whose I was fourteen.
He's like me and Sam, but it's like Ray in
the front of the picture and then all these people
and then Sam is in the very back and he's
like circling Sam's head and he's like my first photo
with Sam.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's where it started.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, I never met him.
Speaker 11 (37:01):
And then I went to your show in twenty seventeen
and Nashal at Ascend and that's when you would run
through the audience you still do at your show's and
it was insane. I went reached my hand out, got
a high five.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
And I mean girls touched him and during the show.
Speaker 11 (37:12):
Yeah, and because he came right by my road and
I was with my friends and they're all like, oh
my gosh, you touched him on and girls were ripping
his shirt and stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
And you still do that to this day.
Speaker 11 (37:19):
You run in the crowd at your wifet show at Bridgetone. Yeah,
I mean that's a security thing.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
Yeah, I'm a lot bigger than most of them.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Most of the So the twenty seventeen that was the
second taste. I don't know, I don't know how many.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Tastes had to be honest, and then you went away
a little bit. You had a little Dave Chappelle moment
where you weren't touring.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
What's your favorite song of all time in your life?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Song, not just period, all music that's ever been invented
for I mean it's it's definitely Sam. Yeah, which one?
Speaker 11 (37:46):
Okay, so it is the same, I mean the one
that made me leave downtown. I lived on First Avenue,
d Mumbriean and Broadway. I moved from Downtown to West
because of your song Downtown instead, because I was like,
I got to get out of the city.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
The tour, the Lockedout Tour starts in June. Tickets to
Sam hunt dot com. The new EP is locked Up.
It just came out, and you know, Ray is a
massive fan. But we're gonna leave that boundary, right.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, yeah cool. I mean we chilled in Vegas together,
we chilled in Nashville together. We're chilling, chilling together. If
you have to get a pass to go meet him, no, no,
we were hanging out, dude. Oh I got a question.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
I got a question, Go ahead, Ray, I guess messaged
Sam on Instagram with like on a snow day or something.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Did you do you remember seeing that?
Speaker 8 (38:26):
Sam? I did see that.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Yeah, did you really want him to come over because
he said he was gonna bring some A six or
what was it.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
Yeah, Yeah, I didn't know if he would take me
up on it or not, but I didn't think he would.
But if he's shown up, then yeah, we could have
made a day of it for sure.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Oh my god, he will. He'll talk about this for
six months now.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Okay, the new EPs locked up, obviously, the tours locked up.
Tour uh, Sam Hunt and go to Sam hunt dot
com to get tickets to the show.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
Sam.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Appreciate you, buddy, Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Pretty good. Took a minute for it to come out,
but you got to tell you so that's dope. Yeah, yeah,
all right there Samline everybody that.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This is Alex from Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
I just had a question in regards to your interviews.
Whenever you have the artist, if you've ever had or
like encountered a bad artist, meaning like you just wanted
to end the interview right then and there on the show.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yes, yeah, And it's not always that it's a bad
artist or somebody that's not nice. Sometimes I can tell
that a they're sick and they and there have been artists.
I will give an example because I know she won't care.
Megan and Roney came in. It was sick one time
and she was champed even come in. I was like,
you do not have to sing, you do not have
to sing, Like we're gonna go on there, but you
(39:42):
don't have to sing, and she was like no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
But I could tell she didn't feel good.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
So I kind of wrapped that a little earlier than
I would because I know that she was just gutting
it out. Now, that's the positive side of it. But
there are also people that have come in. Oh, there
have been people that have been really nice but really
bad too, where I I don't want to expose them
anymore for being a really bad live singer. And I
(40:07):
wish I wouldn't have asked them to perform live or
that they said i'll perform live, and I'm like, sure,
I've never heard you perform like that's happened.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
What about like a conversation where you're just not getting
much from them?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
You know, I'm okay with that. Sometimes I'm okay with that.
Would you cut that on short?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yes? If I my key.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
This is a tip for anybody that has any interview ever,
is just sit in silence. Like if you have some
awkward though, if you have like the patience and you
have it's hard, you gotta be strong to do it.
But if somebody's not giving you something and we're on
the air and I just sit in silence for a second,
they feel the pressure to talk. So I'll do that
(40:48):
some and then if they're not, but again they could
just be having a bad day. But I could tell
you rarely anymore does anybody come in here that's a
jerk Because we kind of know who the jerks are.
We kind of don't have them on the show anymore.
So have I ended interviews early because of certain factors.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Have I gotten into fights with people back in the
old days, Absolutely, But we kind of have it curated
to like we know who's fun to talk to, is
fun to be around. And if one of those people
come in and they're not in a great mood or
great spirit, they're not feeling well, I'm happy to cut
it early or I'm happy to say, hey, don't perform.
I know you're not feeling well. But the days of
(41:24):
people coming in just being awful. Are kind of over
I only have two or three instances of me kicking
people out of the studio.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
There are some people where we're like, I wonder we're
gonna get today, Like we're gonna get this kind of
because they're all over the field.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
The thing about artists, even to pursue art and music
or well any art, you got to have a screw loose,
and usually it's when it's the right screw loose they
become famous successful. But sometimes that right screw sometimes place
and they come in and they're a little out out
of there.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Amy's Pile of Stories.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Three out of four millennial parents think that they are
currently doing a better job with their than their own
parents did with them.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
That's seventy five percent of us.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
Basically, I would think we learn more about the past,
just generally. It could be parenting, it could be being
a boss, it could be even athletics running. We can
learn by all the things that were done wrong before
us and try to get better. And then with parenting,
I wonder too, I think we're parents in general are
a little softer now and a little more trying to
(42:29):
be emotionally available.
Speaker 9 (42:32):
I agree with that and before.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Because we learn not because our parents did anything wrong.
They did the best to their knowledge, that maybe hitting
and making me go pick a switch, whooping the craft
out of me. Sorry, guys, I'm going to the one right,
I have a little trauma. Sorry, sorry, But would you
say that there's something to do that?
Speaker 9 (42:49):
Yeah, I mean for me, I learned in therapy.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
I didn't even know emotional the neglect was a thing
because I felt like I had felt like I had
good parents. I mean, yeah, they got divorced and whatnot,
but they both are good parents to me, like I
don't have any crazy possible right right, But I did
not realize how emotionally shut off both of them were.
Like they just were not available to me in that way.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
And I bet you they didn't know as compared to
their parents they were emotionally shut off because I bet
their parents were even more exactly yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:21):
Like they were already doing better than yeah with their
parents offered them.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Well, I would think, as being you know, not a parent,
knowing everything about parenting, that if you just try your winning,
don't give up.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
I don't know. I just say I don't know about parents.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
Okay, I guess there are four parenting strategies that were
using that our parents didn't, and I'll quickly run through
them gentle parenting, which is sort of what you were
time to get loose to general though exactly.
Speaker 9 (43:45):
I think that.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
There's there's no there's no right line though you can't
walk that line exactly right.
Speaker 5 (43:49):
And then we're open to getting advice, we're open about
mental health, and we are more present with our kids.
Speaker 8 (43:56):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
I think we try to be a little more present
everywhere because we're not at all because.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Of all the things that were all the social media, phone,
but like my dad was never home, like physically present. Yeah,
I'm always.
Speaker 5 (44:07):
Home and when my dad was around me, he was
always on his cell.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Phone, different jobs. Okay, go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 5 (44:15):
So if you're afraid to declutter your home, you're not alone.
It's an overwhelming task, and like forty percent of people
that were surveyed about it were like, yeah.
Speaker 9 (44:24):
No, I'm I'm too scared. I'm just not going to
do it. I'm just gonna live this way.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I went to a like an antique warehouse two days ago.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
A wife was like, hey, we should go to this place,
and I was like, yeah, sure, whatever, and we go
and I'm disinterested in antiques. But antiques is not what
I think of antiques nowadays. I think antique is like
just old tables from nineteen forty that look, there's some
awesome stuff there. Like people just have like shirts, like
shirts and records.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
That's cool. They had Like I bought an Edison bust.
You know what a bust is.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
I would hold it ahead yea, yeah, I bought it
because I love busting now like paying him to be
like razorback people.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
So I bought an Edison.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
We walked around this thing and my wife's like, I
think we shoot, we can go now, And I'm like,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (45:09):
This is the greatest like flea market. That's what I
would call. It's like a flea market that I've ever
been to.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
And so the problem is now we got to declutter
all the crap that I wanted exactly. I would say
this with decluttering in general, say it amy, say it
the elephant thing.
Speaker 9 (45:22):
Oh oh, how do you eat an elephant? One bide
at a time.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
To declutter your whole house, to look at it like that,
it's like trying to run a marathon. You can't do
it all in a day. You gotta slowly do a
little bit here. Okay, finish the bedroom. You gotta do
a little bit here. Come go to the bathroom today.
The problem is you cut up the bedroom again while
you're in the bathroom. You gotta make sure you don't
do that. Yeah, as long as you do it and
you kind of section it off, you can accomplish anything.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
It's like when I used to run. I used to
run tree to tree.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
I couldn't run ten miles at a time running doing
a triathlon. If I did that, I was like, I
gotta run ten miles today dead. But if I go
out and run to that tree, only good, then I quit.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
That's tree. That's it.
Speaker 5 (46:00):
Real Simple magazine, that's Martha Stewart's. She put out a
whole thing like that.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
You can do it called Real Simple. Yeah, our magazine
is still a thing at the store.
Speaker 9 (46:09):
You can follow them on social too.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
But I feel like those are just one. Those are
like the antique store, the only one.
Speaker 9 (46:14):
Yeah, well, that's their whole thing.
Speaker 5 (46:15):
You can declutter in a month to just tackle it
one week, do living room week two, kitchen week three, bedrooms,
move it from.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
One room to the other. I'm like I'm going to
declutter the kitchen and then we move into another room like,
oh god, I'm cluttered. Oh is terrible right now?
Speaker 5 (46:30):
Honestly, so, I saw a funny thing from back in
the day. This is a throwback from nineteen ninety one
when the Highwaymen were being interviewed and the reporter said, hey, like,
are y'all all teamed up together for this? Because you
can't sell tickets individually.
Speaker 9 (46:43):
To your shows?
Speaker 2 (46:43):
You know, the Highwaymen are by the way.
Speaker 9 (46:45):
Name Whalon Jennings.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
How about this, Oh Lily, I know, hello, hello prison
Yah good? This that's my name is Chris, Chris Chosopherson. Okay, okay, good.
What's the clip here?
Speaker 5 (47:06):
This is Wayland James, answering the reporter's question about whether
or not they're just on tour because they can't sell
tickets individually.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
One critic, at.
Speaker 10 (47:15):
Least one critic, probably more critics have suced it's because
none of you can now fill the holes anymore on
your own that it takes four of you.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
How do you answer critics? Kind of you to point
that I might point out that I sell out smaller venues.
Tell you one more point too, that if you ask
another question like that, we'll burn your home.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
And they really would. They would outlaws burn that outlaws.
Chris Christopherson, that's a pretty god impression.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
That's really good.
Speaker 5 (47:45):
Could you imagine a little Brett like that today? I mean,
obviously he's joking.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
You know, they parent a different back then. To reporters.
Speaker 9 (47:53):
I made. That's my file.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
That was Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 8 (47:58):
It's time for the good news lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
They always ask what can FedEx do for you?
Speaker 7 (48:07):
April Chacone is a driver for FedEx and Horizon City, Texas.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
What can the Brown do for you? It is a brown,
a whole different company. Whatever, just go with it, guy, Well, no,
I stort. Didn't wonder if I was crazy.
Speaker 9 (48:20):
No, it's what can the Brown do for you?
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (48:22):
Anyway, anyway, April Chacon is driving for FedEx and she's
driving a regular route dropping packages.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Here you go, here's this, here's.
Speaker 7 (48:30):
That, And all of a sudden she sees someone house
on fire, and so what does she do. She gets
on the phone, calls nine one one, says, hey, there's
a fire, we need you. And she doesn't stop there.
She goes and knocks on the door. It tells them.
Then she gets the neighbors garden knows and she starts
shooting it with water.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
That's crazy. Now she didn't completely extinguish the fire. A
lot of thumb pushing. Yeah, they said her actions limited
the damage. That's good, I mean, so that's all I mean.
And risky.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
You gotta go grab a hope this fire happening, and
your thumb probably get sour for pushing the water le
hard making that flat. And now she's probably gonna be
delayed on the delivery road. And by the way, it's
where now, Where now meets next? And the world on time?
Speaker 2 (49:17):
That's FedEx. What the Brown can do. That's not the
same company at all. It doesn't matter matter. Let's not
get lost in what the said said.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Yeah, here, are you right? We're just gonna get corrected.
I'm the one that gets corrected when we mess up.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
And that's fine. I just want everybody know I.
Speaker 9 (49:33):
Knew, now, I knew.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
Yeah, thank you, thank you, hey.
Speaker 7 (49:36):
Thank you April for chacom for delivering packages and saving
house fires boom or stopping house fire, saving fire.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
The World's on time or something like that. All right,
there you go. That's what it's all about. That was
telling me something good,
Comitting, Hey, what's so Welcome to Tuesday show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Appreciate everybody being here. All right, more in the studio morning.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, let's go around the room and check in
with everybody. We're trying to convince him to start wearing
a tupe, but he thinks it'll look fake and.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
He says, no way. It's producer Eddikay.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
So I got a question for you guys that I
saw online. I was like, this is interesting. Who is
the most underrated country artist in your mind? Like somebody
that you really like but never gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Okay, I would say for the amount of hits that
he has, So there's two versions of this, I would
say Billy Carrington. So many massive songs and sometimes you
don't know that that's him when.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You start to go what's Billy Carrington's playlist?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It's one banger after another banger, Hey girl, watch you.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Nay girl, good turn beans.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And I would go Billy Currington for an artist that
has massive success that probably isn't considered in that group
that sometimes they have less success than him. But part
of that too, is it Billy just goes away and
does his thing, and so he doesn't want to play
the game, and sometimes you gotta play the game a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But I'll go Billy Carrington.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And then also I think underrated can mean just not
discovered yet, like not hit, And so I would say,
like an Ian Munsick.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh that's a good one, dude.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You know, he performed at our Million Dollar Show. I've
done an hour long podcast with him. He does his
own style and he's from the West. He lived on
a ranch. He does whatever he does. He does like
those wolf howls and his songs. Yeah, and it's all legit.
He dresses like that, he is like that. Yeah, and
he's so good. And I think it's taken him a
bit of time to start to break through because he's
(01:56):
been so different. But then once you break through and
you're different, you own it. So I go Ian Munsick
as well. The really fascinating thing about Ian is so
in and I sat for an hour and talked to
Ian has a pretty determined stutter. Oh yeah, and after
a while the stutter was a bit less. But when
he talks in normal life, he is a stutter. When
(02:16):
he sings, no stutter, And we talked about that. That's
amazing how that works. Yeah, it was sing in front
of five thousand people, no stutter but talking.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
He can't fix it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, so I would go those two Billy Carrington and
Ian munsick.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But this can be interpreted so many ways.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I feel like, yeah, so many. I wish I'm thinking
of more people. I wish we played more up on
the radio. Go ahead, Well, like Casey Musgraves, I've just
been listening to her new album a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I'm not the only one that plays her.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah that's a good one because yeah, she I mean,
she's always say she's rated very highly.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Grammy for the Album of the Year.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
We don't in country radio don't hear a lot from her, though,
I do you do that player all time?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
But just in general, she.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Doesn't really even she doesn't do much stuff here though.
It's kind of like Billy Carrington. It's not like she's
and for a good reason, and I get it. I
wish I could do that and be like screw everybody,
but you know, purposefully, she doesn't do a lot of
in Nashville stuff. I mean, her whole Golden Hour record
wasn't even country really, But I okay, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Parker McCall, I just love that dude.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And I feel like when you have a list of
country artists, he's never really on there.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So all the people we named a Casey Parker, Billy
through Massive park ourselves out of arenas, you know, amphitheaters.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But Parker's young. You only had a few hits because
he's so young.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
He's got jams due every time I hear one of
his songs, like gosh, it's gonna the new of the
Burn that Burns, It's so so good.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Gosh, we need to get this guy going to full ray,
Sam Hunt and Parker.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
No, no, no, no, I'm not like that. Oh I'm not
gonna start dressing like Parker or anything.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Again, you can defind it however you want. But I
feel like Parker's pretty widely like respected. Hey, we need
to get him.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Higher, higher rated. How do we okay rate him higher?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Guys?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Go ahead, lunchbox, Chris Stapleton, excuse me, Chris Stapleton.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I mean he's I think everybody.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
No, no, he's a superstar. But I don't we don't
ever play him.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yes, he's had, he's on the radio, like his last
three songs about number ones.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
All right, Well, the question is not who do you love?
Like who do you love?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That doesn't get a lot of at But how would
you say Stapleton's underrated?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like people he wins, He's like everybody knows his best singer.
He's considered one of the top ten songwriters in the
past fifty years. He's got multiple number one hits, he
sells out tours. So how would he be under underrated
in your mind?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Has he won Entertainer of the Year.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, yes, actually two years ago. Yeah, okay, okay, so
we'll move on from the underrated part. But what was
the question? Why does he love him so much? No,
he just does love him so much. Yeah, like he's
really good? Was the question that who?
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Okay, who is under I mean I don't know anybody
that's underrated then because I don't really pay attention to.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
All Right, okay, anybody in your radar knew anybody that
they came in the studio and you're like, man, they're
really good.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Who came in here?
Speaker 7 (05:12):
There?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Recently a lot of people know that the.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Legs, the stray guys. Just because they gave me a hoodie.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
The reded So if they give you free stuff, they.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yeah, well, I mean that was the best giveaway.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Like most people come in, they don't give you anything.
They give you a CD.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
It's like, oh, I mean they gave us legit like
nice hoodies.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And I was like, this is perfect. So that's your
official answer? Will accept it?
Speaker 8 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What's then answer?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
The straight clays, straight clays, red red, red red stray clays.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Almost think of dirt. I mean you've got the words
the red dirt, straight red. Oh you said think of dirt.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Because red clay on the ground.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I think of dirt. It's not say dirt. All right,
let's get going here.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Glad you guys are with us. We got a big
show playing for you. Today's Sam Hunt's coming up in
just a little bit. He'll be in studio lockerray of.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Let's open up the mail bags. You friend the name
mail and we read it all the air.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
It's something we call Bobby's mail bag.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, hello, Bobby Blonas. I've always proud of myself on
my looks. Take great care to make sure I always
look my best. About six months ago, I was in
a car accident. It left me with a significant scard
in the middle of my forehead. Now I don't want
to go out in public and I can't imagine anyone
finding me attractive. It's a few times that I've been
out I can tell people are looking at my scar.
How can I totally change the way I've always felt
about myself? And then my looks is the most important
(06:35):
thing about me? Can ever learn to love a less
attractive version of myself? Signed Misty and Minnesota. Well, sometimes
things are introduced to us in a way that are
not pleasurable but are really good for us long term.
But we all got to lose our looks anyway. Eventually
we're get older, like that's gonna happen. And I get
(06:57):
if that was your thing, Like you're the hotty and
all of a sudden you can still be high, but
with a scar, so don't let don't. People probably aren't
even thinking about the scar. If it's just a scar.
They may see it because it's there on a forehead.
It's kind of hard. It's like if somebody walks in
with like part of their hair dyed green. It's like
just a little strip. You're probably like, well, that's a shame.
We don't think about it any more than that one
second where you look at it. But also it's a
(07:20):
probably a good lesson per opportunity. Yeah, but I'm assuming
if you guys pride of yourself on look, you probably
also looked at other people's looks and held them in
higher regard because of it. And so but now maybe
you're understanding that that isn't really the most important thing.
And it's kind of a Again, it's a hard lesson sometimes,
(07:40):
but I think macro versus micro it can be a
really great lesson. Anybody you'd want to be with anyway
is not going to be turned off just if you
have a scar on your head.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Like if there's.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Somebody that you would have met and you thought you'd
have fallen in love and you'd have been so happy together,
that's not that kind of person that won't be with
you now because of a scar.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Is not that person anyway. So that sucks.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
A lot of stuff sucks in life. You know what
you gotta do. Son comes up, You get up with it,
and now you get to learn a lesson that a
lot of people learn later. And you know what, the
lesson's not even gonna be. It's not near as big
as you think it is. It's like when we're worried
about getting up and embarrassing ourselves in public, or if
you have to give a speed or whatever it is.
We're like, oh, if I humiliate myself, nobody's thinking about
(08:21):
it one second after it's over, because everybody's so self
consumed anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So good for you.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You get to learn and you get to find value
in more important things.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, signed ugly geeky Bobby. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I think it's an opportunity to get to know other
parts of you, because you do have more to offer
than your looks. So get to know the other things
about you that are amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
And if it's just a scar and you're very good looking,
you're still probably pretty good looking.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It's true, and.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
It's a conversation starter.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, scars are cool man.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah, there's always a story behind a scar.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That story is not good. You can make up a
good story. Robin a liquor store. I got a good story.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I got bit by a shark. You change it, Yeah,
you should change it. And then later you're like, I'm
just joking. I was just Robin liquor store.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, it sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you, but
I think you'll get a lot from it. And it
also allows you to understand that that's not the most
important thing in life. If that was your understanding that
that was the most important thing in life. We always
we get these lessons of different ways. So yeah, congratulations.
Look at it as a as a bit of time
to grow and the person you've been happy with forever.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And a person's not gonna date you now because your scar.
That's all all right, close it up.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
We got your game mail and we read it on
your Now it's find the clothes Bobby failed that year.
We're gonna play never Gonna Get It, and I'm gonna give.
Speaker 2 (09:44):

another hint.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Fourteen percent still due in another like eleven percent say
they used to, so half of them have hunted it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And that's a free hint.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Oh that's a tough one. I'm gonna take a wild
guess here, and I'm gonna say the air freshener. Are
you hanging fart in your rear of your mirror?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hey, you'll, you'll tree, you'll pine try Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, great guess, but that's not it. It's hard
because you're never gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You know you're not gonna get it. You're never give me.
How do you feel fine? Lunchbox? Great, Eddie? I feel good.
Speaker 4 (11:01):

that I came.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Up with, Morgan, I feel pretty good. Now I'm gonna
give you two Courtney. You get there's four show members here,
but you get to pick two of them and if
either one of them get it, you get it. But
it's never gonna get it. So Courtney, who are your
two players?
Speaker 10 (11:15):
Okay, I'm gonna pay. I'm gonna go with Amy and lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Okay, oh boy, go ahead, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
About a quarter of Americans I've ever had one of these,
fourteen percent say they still do.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
About eleven percent say they used to, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
We're talking about the club that you put in your
steering wheel so they don't steal it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That's interesting, it's actually good. Morgan.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Well, they used to have is a lot when I
was in high school. It's the wheel and seat covers,
and they can be all different kinds of things. They
can be fuzzy.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We all like on top of the.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Wheel, on the wheel, and then also on the seat.
They all match.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, lunchbox tassel hanging from the rear view.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Like after you graduate high school yep, or college.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
People did that a lot, mostly high school again, Yeah,
people did that.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
A vanity plate, also known as like a personalized.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
License, right one? Amy? Hey Courtney, Yes, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Of those four answers, which one did did you like
the best? It doesn't matter, it doesn't. Somebody got it, really, yeah, somebody.
Speaker 10 (12:15):
Got the club, probably the.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Club we all hate.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
They tricked you into saying the club. I don't think
it's definitely not. We all had. I never had the
club we use. The club costs more than my cars.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Back then, I was just seeing if she would stay
loyal to Amy and I.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I guess you kept the club.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
She didn't say there is vanity plates. Amy is the
winner and so is Courtney. Wow, congratulations court.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
By Buddy, Bobby, I'm a really big fan of yours.
You've actually one year I called the show on my
nineteen firth ame you send me an autograph picture and

So if you listen to the show, what would Amy's
vanity plate say, Courtney, if you get to assign one
to Amy, what would her vanity plates say?
Speaker 10 (13:29):
I'd say super Mama because she's a really good mom.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
S U p R M M A super mama you

Speaker 10 (13:41):

Speaker 9 (13:48):
She gets to pick it and she says, you're funny.

That's good.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I'm just saying, like, you're not gonna if you're driving,

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I think I would maybe Eddie? What about Eddie?
Speaker 11 (14:00):
For dad?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
P R you could do the whole word superdad. You

Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What about me?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I don't know?
Speaker 10 (14:33):
What would Bobby's say? You would probably just get a
picture of like the uh, the University of Arkansas mascot
yours wouldn't say anything. You would probably just say the
University of Arkansas. Or you would probably put like Caleb's
husband on it because that's probably your favorite title.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yeh c T L n h B sort of yeah
or whooping like whooping yeah. Okay, Well, and Corny is
a big winner today lunch. What would Eddie say if

Speaker 3 (15:49):
What about dumb it d M b A.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Alright, Coordiney is our winner.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
It's time for the good news, So shout.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Out to Laurie Pinya, who is a mom of six
and her husband. I think that's probably why they were
dialed in on the toddler that was walking.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
On the freeway or near it.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Oh my god, and they're like, okay, something's not right
with this, and if that was one of our kids,
we got to stop right now.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
We got to help this kid out. They ended up contact.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Way, yeah, and the toddler was able to communicate that
he lived in a house near by and was able
to get the officers there.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Once the police showed up.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Some mature toddler or like the oldest level of toddler four,
like a young four yea four five? So the five
is not toddler, it's not kindergarten's not toddler. Oh okay, right,
no way, that's toll But there are no rules and
we're being way too no way, idiots.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Well, he was left with his six year old brother
at home, and they what they determined was when the
dad got home shortly thereafter.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Who knows what happens.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Child services is looking into this, but there was a
safe environment. Everybody seemed to be doing good. So it's
probably one of those crazy wild.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
That happens, right, super accidents happened. This is the actual
definition of a toddler. One to two. There's no way
that two year old could be that communicative. Okay, uh.
Three to five is considered a preschooler. But I didn't
know that toddler or preschooler were like the same version.
They didn't know either the internet stupid.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
Yeah, telor can totally before.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's that's a good story. I'm glad they found the toddler.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
Good so far, we're still looking into it.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, but the kids safe. Good, it's safe. That's what's
all about.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
That was telling me something good on the Bobby Bone Show. Hey, Sam,
good to hear it. Good to see you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
The microphone is on your in your chair over there,
and you should be able to hear.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Ray mess up a few times. You get Ray. Yeah,
I've got to see you are real good.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I was pumped because I saw your tour and we
were talking with your old football coach and this this
is a whole situation where we're talking to Ty Hilton.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, so Ryan too, and were up at wester Kentucky
working out with the team. So he's the head coach
there now, Yeah, And he said, was he your quarterbacks coach?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The offensive coordinator? What was he?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (18:13):
He was, He was the quarterbacks coach and then also
helped out with the offense. So his his dad, it
was a long time legendary coach coach there at ub
when I was there, and then Tyson, his son was
it was the quarterback coach. Yeah, so he was, and
he was not that much older. He was he was
older than us, but he was fairly younger.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah. No, yeah, I mean so we're hanging out and
he said, he said, hey, you ever talk to Sam?
I said, yeah, sometime. So Tyson's the Hilltoppers head coach.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Now and is he the head coach? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Oh wow, yeah he's crushing. And he said, uh, tell him,
I sew what up? And give him my number? And
I was like, I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I don't really know how to handle this right now,
but he sent along his regards.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Would you still I'd like to I'd like to get
your get his numbers.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh we got it in the good this is all
thank goodness. No, no, we can give you a number
that because I was like, I don't know. I'm told Sam,
you want to know you're good?
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Yeah? Absolutely cool, good night. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
We stayed in touch for a long time and then
after life got crazy, when you know, several years after
moved to Nashville. I just I've not talked to a
lot of folks that from my past life.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
You have to change your number.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I have a couple of times because people like I
don't know Stalker's ray, I mean any like people like that.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
No, No, I don't remember.
Speaker 12 (19:24):
I changed Actually I had the same number until about
five years ago, and I've changed it twice since then.
And and it's good. I get overwhelmed a little bit
with times. Would you regular one number to everybody?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I just give you his number or give him your number.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Either one, I'll take it. I'll take his number from me.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Was talking about how he's like, I just tend to
give my number out to anybody and then.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I can go from.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
So I have a little guilt for unanswered text messages,
and I am bad with text messages, and then so
that guilt sort of weighs on me.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And anyway, give the red dots, like lots of red dots?
Are you that guy? Or do you clear them all off?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Now? They're in there.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
So you don't even open them. So your guilt is
not that you open them and then don't respond or
forget to respond. It is that you just never open them.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
No, I Ope.
Speaker 12 (20:10):
A lot of times it'll be I'll see them while
I'm driving, or I'll be in the middle of a
writing session, or I'll be in the studio and I'll
see the text come in and I look at it
and I'm like, Okay, I think to myself, you know,
I'll get back back to yeah, and then it just
adds up.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
My problem is if people text me at like ten
thirty PM, even nine thirty, if I'm asleep, because if
to wake up so early on the weekdays, I'll see
it at three point thirty and.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I'm like, I can't reply now because I'll wake them up.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
And then I don't even think back about it at
eleven because I've already moved past it.
Speaker 12 (20:40):
I know, and I'm sort of add So if I'm
in a frame of mind or in a state of mind,
I've got some focus going. If I entertain a conversation
that is about something completely different than whatever I was
thinking about's gone and now I'm in the world of
this text message conversation.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So do you think you can write a song about
anything and it'd be good?
Speaker 8 (21:00):
No? No, definitely not.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I have.
Speaker 12 (21:02):
That's why it's so hard for me to put out music,
because there's only I feel like, my h the sweet
spot for what I can write about or what would
work for me is it's so small that a lot
of ideas come along that I'll just I'll pass on
them or think, you know, that's just not a good
idea for me. But oh, there's probably plenty of guys
in Nashville who could write those ideas and they end
(21:24):
up great songs.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The legacy of Sam Hunt the writer is that you
are much more of a perfectionist or someone who needs
to sit with it a lot longer than the average songwriter.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Would you say there's truth to that?
Speaker 12 (21:38):
Yeah, I think I got that reputation during about a
three year period where I was probably overthinking and you know,
I wrote my first album and had some success with it,
and then I should have been writing while I was
on the road, but I was touring for two years
not writing at all. So when I went back in
to write, I was trying to figure out exactly what
I had done on the first album that made it successful,
(22:02):
and so I think I started overthinking that and trying
to get a little too formulaic and breaking everything down
into this sort.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Of math problem you had a little bit, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Think, so are you still in that spot where you
need to live with it for days and days and days.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
No, I've stepped back away from that.
Speaker 12 (22:16):
I've I tend to just move forward now, which is
the approach of most songwriters who I write with. It's
just just keep going and get the song written, and
that tends to be more productive if you zoom out
and look at.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
It long term.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Body like a backroad one of those who took a
long time and kept rewriting.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
Yeah, yeah, it's funny to like the silliest song I have.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
But sure it's silly in that, but still you had
to find the exactly that song's got to make you
feel are envisioned certain things.
Speaker 12 (22:47):
That was the problem was there was so many ways
to miss and then that was one where if I
missed bine inch, I'd missed by a mile, And so
it was a delicate tightrope walk and so I had
to get it just right.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
So like it was just writer or did you go
I can't hold onto this any longer?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
A live bit of both.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
Yeah, I finally got I just I didn't want to
have any lines or sections that were that didn't match
the rest of the song and feel like the same character.
But I also feel like it just came out because
if I wanted to feel like it just came off
the top of the head, top of my head, but
it took more thought and effort to get it to
make it feel like that.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
It kept feeling overwritten.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
Every every line early on was like a reference to
the back Road, and it was like just felt overwritten
and too cute.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
So I had to find that sweet spot. It took
a little while.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
If I especially when I've written books, but or even
a joke, if I live in it so long, I
lose whatever I thought was good about it, Like I
can't identify it anymore. Like if I'm writting a joke
and I'm like, man, I don't even know if this
is funny, and because I've just been inside of it
so long, or the book too, I'm like, I hate
it because I don't do you do that with songs
where you're in it so much you can't even identify
what was good to you at first.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
Yeah, And that's the argument against taking too much time
with something and trying to or we're just overthinking it,
is that will come a point where you can't see
it anymore and you just you lose perspective. And so
that initial burst of inspiration, it's almost better. I think
to try to mine that for all you can early on,
(24:17):
while you've got that, why you can really see it
and instead of sleeping on it and coming back to
it weeks later.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I locked up tour. You guys get tickets at Sam
hunt dot com. Russell Dickerson, George Burgh on the Canadian run,
which we're in a bunch of Canadian places too, shout
out Dalton Dover kicks off June twenty eighth, and it's
in you know, a lot of cities. The shows in
June twenty eighth and Bendor again end up doing that northwest,
coming all the way through. I guess my question is
(24:42):
I wouldn't watch John Mayor's acoustic tour, which I'm a
big John marrafan, Like, that's like the first songwriter I
ever heard speak for me, just to me, but for me,
I'm like, oh, you see a good comedian. You're like, oh,
I thought that. I just didn't think of it like that.
He was the first person that I ever heard.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Write a song. I was like, oh, I've always thought that,
I just know how to say it.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
His lyrics are really thoughtful.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
And guys like that or who those are the guys
that make me overthink lyrics, just there's a bar there
that though some of the guys like that set and
you always feel like you're.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Not People do that to you too in the same way, right,
they're like, well, Sam's the bar because he will spend
all this time getting it perfect. We all have a bar,
and we're all somebody else's bar too, and it's just
not to be driven crazy by the freaking bar.
Speaker 12 (25:21):
Yeah, right, And we all value subjective and we value
different things some people some songwriters value they wanted from
the melody to be fantastic and wanted to feel and flow.
I've already always been attracted as a lyrics and John
Mayer has some great lyrics.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
He did the Acoustic Torn It was super cool, and
I wondered, but I'm a massive fan, like what it
was going to be like with him just up there
with a guitar and really nothing else.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I feel like that kind of show that would be
awesome for you to do.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Would you ever do that? Just go out and go
to me and a guitar, let's go.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Yeah, I've thought about that. He's a fantastic guitar player.
I don't know if I could carry a show with
just me but if I had a couple partners with
me to play maybe or something that could work potentially.
I thought about that, Yeah, like doing theaters, maybe throwing
some old covers.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Are people surprised at because if they just have heard
a few songs on the radio, Let's say they're not
a massive Sam Hunt fan or even a massive country
music fan, but they're just a casual of both or either.
Are they sometimes surprised at? Like how country you actually are?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Because you are?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I mean you're literally like you grew up in it.
Give you a guitar or you can play it all.
Do you find people like, oh, you actually are that dude?
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Yeah? I think it comes out, I guess.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
And if people are surprised, I think people have preconceived notions.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
I think about it sometimes.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
I guess I grew up country, but I grew up
Southern country, and there's so many shades of country.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
In the South.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It's classic rock, which is a big part of country. Yeah,
and in the South to hip hop's a massive I
mean even for me in Arkansas, well hits streaming music
though right like the generation above us, they only could
get it at stores and so regionally there would only
be a dominant amount of whatever was big, but like
you're seeing folks now that are in their mid thirties,
(27:11):
late thirties, early forties who had the opportunity to be
influence and affected by everything. Yeah, and that's a bit
of what I feel like at times your music isn't
in the greatest way. But I think sometimes people are
like Sam, like it's really country and they're surprised by it.
Speaker 12 (27:25):
I told you, yeah, I just I never there's so
many themes that in country that we push really really hard,
and the country boy lifestyle like that gets pushed really hard,
and it's it's almost sometimes feels like it's a signal
to that group to say, hey, I am one of you.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I am one of you, and it feels pandury and.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Like like when they check certain artists, it's very pandury.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Yeah, there's an element of that.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
So I've always been, I guess, try to avoid that
and probably going a little too far out of my
way to avoid it.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
The new EP that just came out, so four songs.
Outskirts is on it, which we're gonna play coming up
in just a second, but the other three songs locked
up Yeah, like a really personal song it's gonna be
people you really trust. We set that aside for when
you're gonna be with people like Shane mcinally.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
Yeah, essentially, I love branching out and right when you folks.
But for the most part, because of that relationships, you
just can't replace a ten year relationship overnight. So for
the most part, I still just write with the two
or two or three folks, and luckily we have that
long term relationship and we've talked about everything under the sun.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, I'd be worried, like to get too personal with
somebody I don't really know, because like what are they
going to take out and tell their buddies?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah right, Like that's what, right?
Speaker 9 (28:39):
And it just not like hippa.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
No, there's not hip and song there should be, absolutely
should be.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
We talked about a body like a Backer.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
One of the things I learned from that song is
that there are people out there that just want to
hear a lighthearted, easy going song. It's easy to sing too,
and it puts a smile on their face. So I've
leaned into that since then, and this is one of
those songs that that I don't know that fits that
Bill Funny.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
We talked about John Mayra, but he was in and
him and I talked for like half an hour and
we were talking about songs that are like that, and
he's like, you know, the songs that people mostly connect
with are not the ones I spent the most time on.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
He was talking about waiting on the World to change.
He was like, that song feels like I just.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Wrote it and was like generic, yeah, and he goes,
but that's the one that people most connect with. And
at times, as he said, sometimes you can get in
your head so much about creating something that is so
revolutionary that then nobody relates to exactly.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:32):
Yeah, that that desire to validate yourself as an artist,
I think is in anybody who does anything creative.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
And but that's just that's ego.
Speaker 12 (29:42):
And you once you feel that in a song and
it feels trying, it can it can be. You know,
it's not lost on the listeners. So hopefully, you know,
I'm capable of writing some of those songs at times
when they come out, and naturally they can be what
they're supposed to be. But I think I took for
granted songs like lighthearted songs that are just that are families,
(30:05):
and you know, I see, we have a lot of
kids at our shows now, which is interesting, and there
songs like this, you know that my brother can put
on in the car with all his with all his
kids and they can all sing along to it.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
So there's something to be said for that too.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I got a song I'm just looking for the right
person to write it with. It's called rural plural murals.
It's the hardest thing along ever and nobody really has
the ability or the.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
They really don't have the guts to write it with me,
have they, Eddie. That's it the guts. So what I
wanted to write was the hardest ever. It's about driving
in the country.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Real plural murals, murals, ploral rural murals, whichever one. But
it's like multiple murals in a rural city, and all
of a sudden you're just affected.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You're like, all right, you singing rural plural.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know anybody gets so, you know, I don't know
if that's just think about it, just to keep that
on the back song for you. Yeah, But I mean,
but you're you know, you're great song alright've written for
other people. So if something like comes to you, like
a good melody for rural plural murals.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Yeah, I'll think on that.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, let me because that's one of those you know,
that's one of those next level ones.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I can't tell if it's got a ring to it
or or the opposite.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Both at the same time. That's it's so next level.
It's so simple with a ring but no ring at all.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Take that out of here.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Who blew on my mind?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
You announce a tour now, Skirts are doing really well.
But did you put out the music to go, hey,
here's some new stuff you can see if you come
out and you've seen me on a hundred times before, sorry.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
When you play those live?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Or do you put out the new music so people
can go, oh cool, it's put out some new stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
We'll also get to see them to a few new songs.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
Yeah, I mean putting out new music. Try to put
out as much as I can.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
But are you thinking about plural and your roles? When
I ask you that question, he was already in it.
I could see he was trying to write a song
there in his head. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 12 (31:42):
Uh, the biggest thing was putting out I wanted to
put out a new album, but it probably would if
I had put out all the songs at once, it
would be about right now before I had gotten them
all done and out. So I've been putting this album
out a little bit at a time, and I have
the last three songs ready now, So this is really
(32:03):
me putting out the last bit of what has been
an album over a year and a half.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
But I didn't want to put out all.
Speaker 12 (32:09):
Those songs as an album because seven of them have
already come out, and I feel like my my fan
base is already sort of rolling their eyes that how
little music I put out, and to put out songs
as an album that have already been out just didn't
quite feel like it would land very well.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
What do you think you can max out bench press?
Because I know what I can. Oh man, we don't
do that anymore.
Speaker 12 (32:33):
But probably if I tried it, i'd probably my shoulders
would probably both blow out, But.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
So Sam and I have the same trainer. We trained
a time right by each other. I mean we're the
same size on't original train together because we're probably lift
the same weights.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know that's true? We should yeah by you know
what I thought about it? Like two sixty yeah about Wow,
don't worry about me though it's only on Instagram. Don't
worry about me though.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Is that like one press?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, one's like a lot of plates, bars bending based.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Wow, that's like that's two big plates and what like?
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I have so many you can't even count it. Yeah,
I was counting the murals the plural.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Well, at least Kluge is doing his job. He's got
you up to too six.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Where you at, Sam? Yeah, where you at? I don't
know that's how you know? So Mu's really strong or
really good at what they do. They don't even need
to say they just like you want to feel bad.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
I'm afraid to guess, and then I get in there.
Always overestimate my strength. I don't know where I would be.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
You have any injuries from playing ball that still hurt?
Like when it rains?
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Yeah, I have had two back surgeries in college.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Still bother you when he gets the weather gets a
little little funky.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
I mean they kind of bothered me all the time.
Speaker 12 (33:39):
But yeah, certain times a year, I don't know if
it's the weather or my you know, trying to do
too much in the gym. But yeah, I've got to
sort that out at some point.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Sam a big fan obviously, Thanks for playing our our
show for Saint Jude, which I was listening.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Super cool, Thank you, said, y'all have me again. Yeah,
and then the tour Sam Hunt dot com.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
All the tickets are up there and there are a
million places that we're on that you can hear us.
And I would get tickets as fast as you can
because I I just heard there.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Oh, they're almost sold out. They got in my ear
right now, they're almost what's that? Some of them are sold.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Out for Wednesday night?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
No, I don't know, I'm talking about you.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
It's already happened.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
What Yeah, Yeah, my brother's coming.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
In reality, it's actually we're recording this the day before
the show, but we're acting like it already.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Which, by the way, you crushed them in You crushed it.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
You did great.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
But I don't know why I started flashing that. It
was weird if you did. Like so she got up
at the show Wednesday night. All the dudes started flashing
us and I.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Was like, I've never seen that before.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
No, it's weird, saying it's crazy. Man if sum up?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
But oh boy, Sam show in one word for people
like if they're going to go see a show like
what's to raise one word?
Speaker 11 (34:56):
What's it about ray uh old school meets new?
Speaker 3 (35:01):
What about Sam is awesome to you? Did you bring
him up a lot?
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Well?
Speaker 11 (35:05):
I told you guys back in the day he started
the baggy shirt movement.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He was one of the first people to ever do
it where he wore the shirt down to his knees.
Speaker 11 (35:11):
And so I didn't have any of those shirts, so
I would wear like cut off shirts underneath my actual
hang shirt so it'd be even long though, and my
wife eventually, the girlfriend back then, just said stop wearing
your shirts.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Like Sam Hunt, all that was because of a long shirt.
Speaker 11 (35:25):
All this, I mean, he's the one that started it
across America, but it was the sham Hunt and then
I saw him do it, so I started doing it,
and then T Babe started doing it upstairs, and then
it spread across the country.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
But I'm saying it's just a shirt. It was the shirt.
I mean, that was his swag.
Speaker 11 (35:39):
So his clothing and then his music was good as well.
But he had an aura and you could just feel
it in his shows. And like I wanted to ask
you this one quick thing, So do you remember the
Dave and Buster show, Like back in twenty fourteen in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I mean it was a venue way too small.
Speaker 11 (35:52):
For you, and dude, there were cop cars, there was
a security called in.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Dudes were flipping tables.
Speaker 11 (35:57):
I think that's really where you started to feel how
big you worthy.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
You were bigger than the venues you were playing in.
Speaker 12 (36:02):
Right, Yeah, that's the first time I'd seen any like
excitement from people about the music. And it was, uh yeah,
it was outside the uh the David Busters and uh
that Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
That was because I mean I hang out at that mall.
Speaker 12 (36:17):
I go to that ma all the time, and so
I'm standing there all the time, and then I'm in
that same environment and then there are barriers and you know,
lots of people in the parking lot and everybody's singing
along to the song.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So it was a wild That was a wild moment, dude.
That's where I got the first taste. And I was like, oh,
I don't say you got the first taste.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
See it was all good, like we felt it. It
was pretty good, mature. The first taste feels weird first.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
The best part about that, but it's right here, does
they first taste?
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, that time in Ray's life is on Instagram. He
posts this photo of David Busters, whose I was fourteen.
He's like me and Sam, but it's like Ray in
the front of the picture and then all these people
and then Sam is in the very back and he's
like circling Sam's head and he's like my first photo
with Sam.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's where it started.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, I never met him.
Speaker 11 (37:01):
And then I went to your show in twenty seventeen
and Nashal at Ascend and that's when you would run
through the audience you still do at your show's and
it was insane. I went reached my hand out, got
a high five.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
And I mean girls touched him and during the show.
Speaker 11 (37:12):
Yeah, and because he came right by my road and
I was with my friends and they're all like, oh
my gosh, you touched him on and girls were ripping
his shirt and stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
And you still do that to this day.
Speaker 11 (37:19):
You run in the crowd at your wifet show at Bridgetone. Yeah,
I mean that's a security thing.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
Yeah, I'm a lot bigger than most of them.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Most of the So the twenty seventeen that was the
second taste. I don't know, I don't know how many.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Tastes had to be honest, and then you went away
a little bit. You had a little Dave Chappelle moment
where you weren't touring.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
What's your favorite song of all time in your life?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Song, not just period, all music that's ever been invented
for I mean it's it's definitely Sam. Yeah, which one?
Speaker 11 (37:46):
Okay, so it is the same, I mean the one
that made me leave downtown. I lived on First Avenue,
d Mumbriean and Broadway. I moved from Downtown to West
because of your song Downtown instead, because I was like,
I got to get out of the city.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
The tour, the Lockedout Tour starts in June. Tickets to
Sam hunt dot com. The new EP is locked Up.
It just came out, and you know, Ray is a
massive fan. But we're gonna leave that boundary, right.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, yeah cool. I mean we chilled in Vegas together,
we chilled in Nashville together. We're chilling, chilling together. If
you have to get a pass to go meet him, no, no,
we were hanging out, dude. Oh I got a question.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
I got a question, Go ahead, Ray, I guess messaged
Sam on Instagram with like on a snow day or something.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Did you do you remember seeing that?
Speaker 8 (38:26):
Sam? I did see that.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Yeah, did you really want him to come over because
he said he was gonna bring some A six or
what was it.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
Yeah, Yeah, I didn't know if he would take me
up on it or not, but I didn't think he would.
But if he's shown up, then yeah, we could have
made a day of it for sure.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Oh my god, he will. He'll talk about this for
six months now.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Okay, the new EPs locked up, obviously, the tours locked up.
Tour uh, Sam Hunt and go to Sam hunt dot
com to get tickets to the show.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
Sam.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Appreciate you, buddy, Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Pretty good. Took a minute for it to come out,
but you got to tell you so that's dope. Yeah, yeah,
all right there Samline everybody that.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This is Alex from Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
I just had a question in regards to your interviews.
Whenever you have the artist, if you've ever had or
like encountered a bad artist, meaning like you just wanted
to end the interview right then and there on the show.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yes, yeah, And it's not always that it's a bad
artist or somebody that's not nice. Sometimes I can tell
that a they're sick and they and there have been artists.
I will give an example because I know she won't care.
Megan and Roney came in. It was sick one time
and she was champed even come in. I was like,
you do not have to sing, you do not have
to sing, Like we're gonna go on there, but you
(39:42):
don't have to sing, and she was like no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
But I could tell she didn't feel good.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
So I kind of wrapped that a little earlier than
I would because I know that she was just gutting
it out. Now, that's the positive side of it. But
there are also people that have come in. Oh, there
have been people that have been really nice but really
bad too, where I I don't want to expose them
anymore for being a really bad live singer. And I
(40:07):
wish I wouldn't have asked them to perform live or
that they said i'll perform live, and I'm like, sure,
I've never heard you perform like that's happened.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
What about like a conversation where you're just not getting
much from them?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
You know, I'm okay with that. Sometimes I'm okay with that.
Would you cut that on short?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yes? If I my key.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
This is a tip for anybody that has any interview ever,
is just sit in silence. Like if you have some
awkward though, if you have like the patience and you
have it's hard, you gotta be strong to do it.
But if somebody's not giving you something and we're on
the air and I just sit in silence for a second,
they feel the pressure to talk. So I'll do that
(40:48):
some and then if they're not, but again they could
just be having a bad day. But I could tell
you rarely anymore does anybody come in here that's a
jerk Because we kind of know who the jerks are.
We kind of don't have them on the show anymore.
So have I ended interviews early because of certain factors.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Have I gotten into fights with people back in the
old days, Absolutely, But we kind of have it curated
to like we know who's fun to talk to, is
fun to be around. And if one of those people
come in and they're not in a great mood or
great spirit, they're not feeling well, I'm happy to cut
it early or I'm happy to say, hey, don't perform.
I know you're not feeling well. But the days of
(41:24):
people coming in just being awful. Are kind of over
I only have two or three instances of me kicking
people out of the studio.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
There are some people where we're like, I wonder we're
gonna get today, Like we're gonna get this kind of
because they're all over the field.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
The thing about artists, even to pursue art and music
or well any art, you got to have a screw loose,
and usually it's when it's the right screw loose they
become famous successful. But sometimes that right screw sometimes place
and they come in and they're a little out out
of there.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Amy's Pile of Stories.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Three out of four millennial parents think that they are
currently doing a better job with their than their own
parents did with them.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
That's seventy five percent of us.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
Basically, I would think we learn more about the past,
just generally. It could be parenting, it could be being
a boss, it could be even athletics running. We can
learn by all the things that were done wrong before
us and try to get better. And then with parenting,
I wonder too, I think we're parents in general are
a little softer now and a little more trying to
(42:29):
be emotionally available.
Speaker 9 (42:32):
I agree with that and before.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Because we learn not because our parents did anything wrong.
They did the best to their knowledge, that maybe hitting
and making me go pick a switch, whooping the craft
out of me. Sorry, guys, I'm going to the one right,
I have a little trauma. Sorry, sorry, But would you
say that there's something to do that?
Speaker 9 (42:49):
Yeah, I mean for me, I learned in therapy.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
I didn't even know emotional the neglect was a thing
because I felt like I had felt like I had
good parents. I mean, yeah, they got divorced and whatnot,
but they both are good parents to me, like I
don't have any crazy possible right right, But I did
not realize how emotionally shut off both of them were.
Like they just were not available to me in that way.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
And I bet you they didn't know as compared to
their parents they were emotionally shut off because I bet
their parents were even more exactly yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:21):
Like they were already doing better than yeah with their
parents offered them.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Well, I would think, as being you know, not a parent,
knowing everything about parenting, that if you just try your winning,
don't give up.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
I don't know. I just say I don't know about parents.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
Okay, I guess there are four parenting strategies that were
using that our parents didn't, and I'll quickly run through
them gentle parenting, which is sort of what you were
time to get loose to general though exactly.
Speaker 9 (43:45):
I think that.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
There's there's no there's no right line though you can't
walk that line exactly right.
Speaker 5 (43:49):
And then we're open to getting advice, we're open about
mental health, and we are more present with our kids.
Speaker 8 (43:56):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
I think we try to be a little more present
everywhere because we're not at all because.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Of all the things that were all the social media, phone,
but like my dad was never home, like physically present. Yeah,
I'm always.
Speaker 5 (44:07):
Home and when my dad was around me, he was
always on his cell.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Phone, different jobs. Okay, go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 5 (44:15):
So if you're afraid to declutter your home, you're not alone.
It's an overwhelming task, and like forty percent of people
that were surveyed about it were like, yeah.
Speaker 9 (44:24):
No, I'm I'm too scared. I'm just not going to
do it. I'm just gonna live this way.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I went to a like an antique warehouse two days ago.
Speaker 3 (44:32):
A wife was like, hey, we should go to this place,
and I was like, yeah, sure, whatever, and we go
and I'm disinterested in antiques. But antiques is not what
I think of antiques nowadays. I think antique is like
just old tables from nineteen forty that look, there's some
awesome stuff there. Like people just have like shirts, like
shirts and records.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
That's cool. They had Like I bought an Edison bust.
You know what a bust is.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
I would hold it ahead yea, yeah, I bought it
because I love busting now like paying him to be
like razorback people.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
So I bought an Edison.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
We walked around this thing and my wife's like, I
think we shoot, we can go now, And I'm like,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (45:09):
This is the greatest like flea market. That's what I
would call. It's like a flea market that I've ever
been to.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
And so the problem is now we got to declutter
all the crap that I wanted exactly. I would say
this with decluttering in general, say it amy, say it
the elephant thing.
Speaker 9 (45:22):
Oh oh, how do you eat an elephant? One bide
at a time.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
To declutter your whole house, to look at it like that,
it's like trying to run a marathon. You can't do
it all in a day. You gotta slowly do a
little bit here. Okay, finish the bedroom. You gotta do
a little bit here. Come go to the bathroom today.
The problem is you cut up the bedroom again while
you're in the bathroom. You gotta make sure you don't
do that. Yeah, as long as you do it and
you kind of section it off, you can accomplish anything.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
It's like when I used to run. I used to
run tree to tree.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
I couldn't run ten miles at a time running doing
a triathlon. If I did that, I was like, I
gotta run ten miles today dead. But if I go
out and run to that tree, only good, then I quit.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
That's tree. That's it.
Speaker 5 (46:00):
Real Simple magazine, that's Martha Stewart's. She put out a
whole thing like that.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
You can do it called Real Simple. Yeah, our magazine
is still a thing at the store.
Speaker 9 (46:09):
You can follow them on social too.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
But I feel like those are just one. Those are
like the antique store, the only one.
Speaker 9 (46:14):
Yeah, well, that's their whole thing.
Speaker 5 (46:15):
You can declutter in a month to just tackle it
one week, do living room week two, kitchen week three, bedrooms,
move it from.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
One room to the other. I'm like I'm going to
declutter the kitchen and then we move into another room like,
oh god, I'm cluttered. Oh is terrible right now?
Speaker 5 (46:30):
Honestly, so, I saw a funny thing from back in
the day. This is a throwback from nineteen ninety one
when the Highwaymen were being interviewed and the reporter said, hey, like,
are y'all all teamed up together for this? Because you
can't sell tickets individually.
Speaker 9 (46:43):
To your shows?
Speaker 2 (46:43):
You know, the Highwaymen are by the way.
Speaker 9 (46:45):
Name Whalon Jennings.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
How about this, Oh Lily, I know, hello, hello prison
Yah good? This that's my name is Chris, Chris Chosopherson. Okay, okay, good.
What's the clip here?
Speaker 5 (47:06):
This is Wayland James, answering the reporter's question about whether
or not they're just on tour because they can't sell
tickets individually.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
One critic, at.
Speaker 10 (47:15):
Least one critic, probably more critics have suced it's because
none of you can now fill the holes anymore on
your own that it takes four of you.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
How do you answer critics? Kind of you to point
that I might point out that I sell out smaller venues.
Tell you one more point too, that if you ask
another question like that, we'll burn your home.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
And they really would. They would outlaws burn that outlaws.
Chris Christopherson, that's a pretty god impression.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
That's really good.
Speaker 5 (47:45):
Could you imagine a little Brett like that today? I mean,
obviously he's joking.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
You know, they parent a different back then. To reporters.
Speaker 9 (47:53):
I made. That's my file.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
That was Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 8 (47:58):
It's time for the good news lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
They always ask what can FedEx do for you?
Speaker 7 (48:07):
April Chacone is a driver for FedEx and Horizon City, Texas.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
What can the Brown do for you? It is a brown,
a whole different company. Whatever, just go with it, guy, Well, no,
I stort. Didn't wonder if I was crazy.
Speaker 9 (48:20):
No, it's what can the Brown do for you?
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (48:22):
Anyway, anyway, April Chacon is driving for FedEx and she's
driving a regular route dropping packages.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Here you go, here's this, here's.
Speaker 7 (48:30):
That, And all of a sudden she sees someone house
on fire, and so what does she do. She gets
on the phone, calls nine one one, says, hey, there's
a fire, we need you. And she doesn't stop there.
She goes and knocks on the door. It tells them.
Then she gets the neighbors garden knows and she starts
shooting it with water.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
That's crazy. Now she didn't completely extinguish the fire. A
lot of thumb pushing. Yeah, they said her actions limited
the damage. That's good, I mean, so that's all I mean.
And risky.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
You gotta go grab a hope this fire happening, and
your thumb probably get sour for pushing the water le
hard making that flat. And now she's probably gonna be
delayed on the delivery road. And by the way, it's
where now, Where now meets next? And the world on time?
Speaker 2 (49:17):
That's FedEx. What the Brown can do. That's not the
same company at all. It doesn't matter matter. Let's not
get lost in what the said said.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Yeah, here, are you right? We're just gonna get corrected.
I'm the one that gets corrected when we mess up.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
And that's fine. I just want everybody know I.
Speaker 9 (49:33):
Knew, now, I knew.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
Yeah, thank you, thank you, hey.
Speaker 7 (49:36):
Thank you April for chacom for delivering packages and saving
house fires boom or stopping house fire, saving fire.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
The World's on time or something like that. All right,

telling me something good,
