Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, there's a story about a hiker and they found
his body after like twenty five years, and they found
him in a glacier. Fully, it's almost like Iron Man,
like you wish you could come back to life. No,
Iron Man, Captain America. Oh, because he was frozen. But
this guy, as Shepherd, discovered the body of a man
who vanished nearly three decades ago, preserved in the glacier.
And the reason that they were able to finally see

(00:23):
him as the glaciers have been melting and they saw
a guy at least it looked like the shape of
a guy. And they went in and were like, holy crap,
there's a body frozen in that. The body was found
on August first, with clothing intact.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
What I saw was unbelievable. The body was intact, The
clothes were not even torn. The identity card was discovered
with the guy that had his name on it. Police
confirmed the identity to locals came forward to provide more
information and said he was somebody who often visited. But
the guy disappeared in ninety seven during a snowstorm after
falling into a glacier.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Crack.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Wow, that's from the Independent A little bit the scientist
has to go.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Should see like and he wakes no way?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like everything or like or is organs usable anything? You're
an ice? Yeah, keeping an eye see it stays good
longer America.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, but even frozen meat.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, like to go back, well a month a frozen meat,
Yeah it starts. Yeah, it tastes different.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Oh really, I have chicken breasts of my freezer.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
About freezer burn, Yeah, it gets freezer burn.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
A month is fine?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, Yeah, I think month's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
They found the body. Hopefully that gives them closure to
the family though too. Oh for sure, it's been missing
for thirty years. It's gonna be the woman on the boat.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah. Amy Bradley still.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Haven't watched it, but know all about it now because
I've listened to some podcasts talking about it and then
the amount of times that people fall off boats and
that they're just lost crazy. Yeah, it's gone the series.
Is it good by itself? Because I have to it's
my turn to pick one, and so if I pick one,
and I'm gonna watch it with my wife.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
But I feel like, now, if you know a lot
about it, I don't know will you enjoy watching?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
But I feel like I don't know enough about it
to talk about it, Okay, Like I don't have the
education to speak about it in any sort of way
that people would believe me because I haven't seen it.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's definitely interesting. There's some parts where you're like, what
that's that's That's all I'll say.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
An extremely lucky gambler hit three hundred and eighty nine
jackpots in one day to Tampa Casino, winning more than
one point eight million dollars. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
and Casino Tampa announced Tuesday that Mayo saw big wins
throughout the day on several popular slot machines. He hit
one for one hundred and seventy thousand on the Lockett Link.
He hit one for ninety nine thousand on the Pandem

(02:46):
Magic Dragon Link Link must be the what they call
a slot machine because they all say link at the
end of the dame over on Golden Century Dragon Link
here for two hundred fifty eight thousand bucks, and then
one hundred and fifteen thousand and one hundred four forty
three thousand on other machines. That's a lot of massive
slot machine hits in one day. Quote, the lucky streak
is one of the most impressive one day runs in

(03:08):
the property's history. Stories like this show just how exciting
and rewarding a visit to Seminal hard Rock Tampa can be.
Joseph Wagner, Vice President assistant general Manager at Seminal hard
Rock and Casino, Tampa, WFLA. With that story, two things
come to mind, Three things come to mind. One luckiest
guy ever, what a day? Also must have been betting

(03:30):
a lot. To win that much, you don't go into
penny slots and win that much. There's like one penny
slot winner every six months that wins that much. You
don't go into penny slots. So he's playing probably a
dollar a pool, five bucks a pool, ten bucks a pool.
That's one very lucky. Number two is sums up? Who
knows somebody? Who knows somebody? You think that's number two.

(03:51):
I think the first one is the most true, that
he's lucky, yes, and he's playing big dollar. Number two is.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Who does he?

Speaker 5 (04:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
But even then, it's not worth it to award somebody
that much and get the news. If you're doing something
illegal and you get taken down, it's not worth it.
It's like refs cheating in games. So openly and blatantly.
Do I think it's happened a little bit, Yes, but
it's not worth it to the league. I would say,
like fixing a draft. They're like, oh, the draft's been fixed,
But if it ever was found out the NBA draft

(04:20):
was fixed, the whole system would crumble. So I don't
think it's worth it to actually fix a draft. Short
term yes, long term no, And it's all long term.
So I don't think it's two. But are they fixing
this guy can win? Number three? Time Machine?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh, like back to the future.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
He knew which ones to play and when to play them.
He knew how much it needed to be put in,
so that's what he did. So time Machine is number three,
So number one he really was lucky. Number two, something's
up number three time Machine. In that order, I'm going
with two. Seems like I don't think something's up. If
something's up, it can't be with the people that are
in the news because they probably think it's real. It

(04:59):
has to be somebody like lower to mid level that
would have access to that. Nobody has access to the
slot machine algorithms. That is just like a mid level employee.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, I'm going with one. He's just lucky. Could it
be it happens?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Could like the casino, Like it's just a thought, like
could the casino get like, Hey, Mike, I need you
to come in the casino. I will tell you like
the five that will hit and then we'll put it
all over the news and then just give me. I'll
give you, like I don't know, ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Could they I'm not gonna say no because I don't
know the inner workings. But that doesn't sound like it's
worth it because.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
You're saying to bring more customers. Is that what you're
saying about.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
You're saying, Look, how lucky you could be at our casino.
This is crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
This guy hit it, But I think three times instead
like the six that he hit. I don't know you
could be right. I don't think you're right. I think
the guy just got lucky. But my second pick is shadiness.
But just right below its time machine like one one's
up there and it's solid way down the yeld lord
goes way back down to get to that one in
two and three is pretty close. But that's a big

(05:59):
day for him. I bet you he's lost three times
that because you don't also go in and play that
much with that much money. If you're not all the
time playing like a first timer, doesn't go in and
do that. I've never hit on a slot machine, like,
never hit anything more than like three or four hundred dollars.
And I've played some okay amounts. I've done the dollar
Wheel of Fortunes and dollar gets up there pretty quick.

(06:22):
I've done the ten dollars Wheel of Fortunes, and you
go broke pretty quick because you're talking about five fifty
bucks a poll.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Every time.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
To be able to spend the wheel, you got to
hit all of them. It's five, and you got to
do the max, yes, because then you don't get to
spend the wheel.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, I've never hit big on a slot machine. Ray
hit big, right, Baser, what'd you hit? Three point four
thousand million? That's the weirdest way to say it. By
the way, you guys can call us if you've ever
hit big, if you're watching right now on YouTube live,
if you've ever hit big on a slot machine, let
us know. Ray hit for three point four thousand.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
Dollars and that was on different slot machines, right, It
wasn't just.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
On one or was it, Yeah, I have the picture was
on one machine that's pretty good. That was her biggest one.
And what machine was and how much was she playing?
It was Buffalo and it was right as we were
leaving Cosmo. She got cleaned out. She had forty dollars
left and she randomly talks to the tellers or it
was maybe a worker, and she goes, hey, what's your
favorite machine, and he goes, Buffalo. I've always enjoyed it.
Sat down there and it just started blowing up and

(07:20):
they closed it down within five minutes and she got
three point four is and.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
It feels good when it hits.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
So that is annoying too, with where you don't know
how much you're winning. It showed right away. Does it
go three point four thousand or thirty four hundred? I
can't do that. I mean I got the pick. No,
but I'm saying, or does it go DDA? And you're
like watching it as it's building up to it, wondering
where it's going to stop. Yeah, it's definitely a slow build. Yeah,
you really have no idea. We knew you can tell
once it gets to thousands and then it just keeps
going in at that point let's go. And we knew

(07:47):
the amount though that you have to pay taxes about
one point four. So once we went past fourteen hundred dollars, yeah, yeah,
then we just knew, all right, let's rocket And what
was the money that the one dollar fifty cent quarter?
Do you remember well, I mean, if she was doing forty,
I have it on there. It was she do one
pole it was I mean, she had forty dollars left,
so I don't believe she would have done twenty dollars polls.

(08:09):
It was more like a five I'm thinking, and then
was able to get that much. Let's watch you hit
one two huh Yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
I hit one for one point four at four Bears Casino,
and I did Buffalo because a Bay's success at Buffalo,
and I went out there because they wanted me to
endorse their casinos. They wanted to show it off to me.
So I was just kind of like, here, let me
play one of your games and like take a little
video saying I'm here.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
And boom one point four.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
And it just starts going ding ding ding ding ding
ding ding ding ding, and Induskey's going up and upping up,
and I'm like, you know, everybody in the casino starts
coming over because when they hear the noises, they're like, oh,
what's going on?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
And I'll say, you're screaming, yeah, yeah, more than the noises,
because there are a lot of noises in a casino.
It's got to be you screaming more than the casino.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Maybe I felt like it was just the dings, and
the dings get louder and louder and louder. I get
louder and louder, and there's one person watching, then three people,
then six people, then ten people, and everybody wants to
be in on the action. So fun, And I won
a thousand at in Vegas on the Wheel of Fortune.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
One can we go back to the one where you
were endorsing a place and then you hit like, if
you saw that, you would go that's rigged. No, no, no,
here's the Oh but if you saw it's happened to somebody, like,
let's say Eddie went, because I know what you're gonna
say is it wasn't rigged at all. But if Eddie went,
and let's say he was endorsing the Bellagio, and the
belagi is like, welcome, play a slot machine. Eddie plays

(09:28):
and hits for continer bucks. What are you saying, I'm like, rigged?

Speaker 6 (09:32):
Okay, right right, you know, but here, here's what happened.
They were gonna give me some free play.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I agree. It was not rigged, I know, but I'm
just gonna tell you how it happened.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
And so we were gonna make it like, oh, you know,
I hear some free play, and they were gonna give
me an old machine that wasn't even on the floor,
and we were gonna say I won. And the lighting
was bad, and I was like, I We'll just go
over here and I'll play this machine. And they were like, well,
you can't use your free play on that because that's
one of our newer machines. I was like, fine, I'll
put twenty dollars in there. And so I put twenty
bucks in the brand new Buffalo machine and that's when
I hit.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
And they were like.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Man, you weren't really supposed to hit.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh they were like that.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
No, No, they were really excited.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
They were so over the moon.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
It was so fun.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
But again, if it were Eddie, that exact same situation happened,
you would go somebody in the back saw that he
was going to that machine.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
And told I know, And I even said that because
Kevin went with me and we're like, dude, everybody's gonna
think this was rigged.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Everybody thinks this is rigged.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
You would think it was rigged.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I know.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
And even the guys that weren't there, like, oh my gosh,
peop were gonna think we rigged this.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Do you have cameras on you? Yeah, well there are
cameras everywhere.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
There's cameras everywhere.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
No, but I mean where they film in for like
an endorsement, like a phone.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
No.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Kevin was and the security guard came up and goes,
you can't film and tried to knock the camera down
because he didn't know that we were there with the
Four Bears casino.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
He didn't want anyone to see what shadiness was happening.
Plot thickens.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
It was incredible, dude, like that feeling. And the Wheel
of Fortune is where the one we in Vegas, the
one where the bay, Yeah, where the shooting happened. Yes,
that's where I hit for a thousand on the Wheel
of Fortune.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Do you hit it on the wheel? Yeah, that's the
best it was.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I don't know that I've ever hit like anything big
like big.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Never hit anything.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
What do you mean, like a big jackpot?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
It even just said three or four hundred dollars. I'm
like that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, But it's like back money is different when you're
in Vegas. It is when you've lost, like I don't know,
twelve hundred, and you hit a big one for four hundred,
You're still like, well this sucks.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I get t Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:29):
It's like my wife like when we were just dating,
we went to Vegas one time and she didn't know
how to gamble, and she didn't gamble, and she was
gonna just go to the pool the whole weekend and
we were walking through the wind and I put forty
dollars in a slot machine.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
She's like, you put forty dollars in this machine?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
How stupid are you?

Speaker 6 (11:43):
Like what are you thinking? Second spin seven hundred and
twenty nine dollars one? And she goes, how do I
do it? Let's show me how to do it?

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Got her hoot, that's my name one of the first times.
It's hard to shake.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
That gets it.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's that's your your your introduction, your first impression, and
even if your second, third, fourth, fifth depressions are bad,
that first one, you're just like, no, it's it's ingrained
in me.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
And then you're always trying to just chase that high
man like.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
It iss like Heroin.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
And then then we went to the blackjack table Encore
after that, and we sat at the same blackjack table
for six hours with all the same people. Everyone at
the table won multiple thousands of dollars, and she was like,
this is the best thing ever. Never went to the pool.
Now she's addicted to gambling.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
I mean she likes to go, she likes to gamble
on She was like, it's that easy.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I'm reading all about tourism's way down in Vegas.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
Oh yeah, they need us.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well I'm not saying they need it, but it's the
time to go. If tourism's way down, they treat you
a little better. We're going in September for iHeart, my heart.
What month are we in? That's next month. Yeah, it's going.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
I'm almost the year, So don't worry. We'll help him out. Yeah,
I don't worry, Vegas, We're coming.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I normally don't gamble. What now you can't I do
a little bit, like a little bit. If I'm waiting
for somebody, I'll play the table. I do like college
football while in Vegas. It's fun, that's awesome, and you
can you can better on the games, which we can't.
I can't use DraftKings on in Vegas because Vegas shuts
them down. Correct, So then you have to go to
the casino. That's it's it's different, and then all the screens.

(13:10):
But then also you can go and play crafts like
while you're waiting. That's fine. I just don't gamble that
much anymore.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
I'm like ninety nine percent sure. I still have those
chips that I've had.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
For I don't want I don't want to hear about
your chips.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Eventually they die though they do.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
No way, money's money.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's not money though, that's it is money.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
They're one hundred dollars chips?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Do you have?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Are they twenty five?

Speaker 6 (13:30):
I think they're twenty five dollars trips, Sorry.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
They're twenty five, but they equal. How many do I have?

Speaker 6 (13:34):
I think you have one hundred and fifty dollars worth.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
I have one hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
I will give you seventy five dollars. I'm pretty sure.
And every year she's like, I'm gonna bring him and
I'm gonna play and she never does seventy five dollars
cash for them.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Casino chips have an expiration da oh no, but it's
not like the expiration day on food.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
The expiration on casino chips depends on the casino's policies
and whether or not they discontinue a particular chip design.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Oh yeah, I think we talked about this, but I
think you can still go and say, hey, I know
this isn't the right design, but here.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Who said you can say that? You just said that.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
You just said that.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I feel I said that.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
I am saying that. Who said that me?

Speaker 6 (14:11):
But the cool part is is if that casino is
part of the whole there, it's like an MGM property.
You don't have to go back to that specific casino.
You can go to any MGM property and use those
are I know, guys, I'm a Vegas consumer man. I
love that place.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah yeah, the BBB anyway.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Hey, I hit a hard ten once one hundred dollars.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
I will never forget that.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
Oh my gosh, that was so.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I've hit like playing roulette and you let the chicks
chips down.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
Oh, we've seen it.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I've had a couple of those for like two thousand dollars.
But I've built that up. It wasn't like a one pool.
It's like let it roll, pull all off, let it
roll loose, but and it build. And I've hit for
like two thousand dollars. But I feel like that was
work to get there. It wasn't just a poll. Yeah,
I've never hit this poll. I've played slots a decent amount.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Man.

Speaker 6 (15:03):
There used to be a slot at the Aria that
my the lady of the next living next to my grandparents.
She told me like, if you are ever running out
of money in Vegas, go to this slot machine. Oh god, right,
like she always told me. And I was in Vegas.
I was at the Cosmo Meium my roommate from college.
What up John? And we were not we weren't winning.
I was like, Hey, we should walk next door to
the are you and play that slot machine? And she

(15:24):
drew me a diagram how to get there. Go down
this hall like a mile right there, straight into the
next Yeah, right by the rewards desk. You'll see it.
It was like a like a ping pong ball one.
And I was like, all right, dude, I'm gonna put
fifty bucks in here. You want to get in on this?
Split it, and goes no, no, I'm not going to do it. Yeah,
I want to split it. No, no, I don't want
to do it. Then we split it one six hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Man tell you that three hundred each.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Yeah, that slot machine. It worked, but then they remodeled.
I don't know what machine went.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Florida woman's been arrested for posing as a nurse and
trading over four thousand patients without a license. Autumn Bardiso
worked at a hostelpital from July twenty twenty three until
she was fired in January, treating four thy four hundred
and eighty six patients while pretending to be a registered nurse.
She was hired as a nurse technician, but told the
hospital she had passed her nursing exams and provided a

(16:13):
fake license number that belonged to someone else with the
same first name Wow. When question about the name difference,
she said, no, I was married. It's my married name.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Because what's her first name?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Autumn? Okay, very much a nurse name. Autumn Yeah, seems
friendly and warm. Very much a nurse name. A coworker
discovered her expired nursing assistant license in January when she
was offered a promotion. The sheriff said it was one
of the most disturbing cases of medical fraud they've ever investigated.
ABC News like disturbing in she got away with it
nobody checked.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yes, she got it away with it for so long.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I don't think she's doctor death in people.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
Right, r's a bad nurse, a good nurse, good.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Nurse, or she'd have been fired for being a bad nurse.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
I mean she was good enough promotion.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Right, she's doing well, just didn't have her license.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean the sheriff is ad her as soon
as she opens her car door and.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
She's like what's going on?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
She's like what what? And the sheriff he's got his
best down, he got tie on. So you know this
is uh. They were doing it for TV. Yeah, Autumn
Bardisa treated more than four thousand patients. Hey, I think
if she's done a good job, maybe lie in that
sentence a little bit, or.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
We give her her license or give her a chance
to get her life.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
You need to get it.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
The problem with just giving a license to somebody who's
done bad and lied, even if they've been good. Is
other people will try that then to get their license. Yeah,
you can't do that. She still has to be punished.
But if she's done a great job, maybe you lightened
it up a little bit and you know, put her
through school, you know, a little rehabilitation. I'm sure she
learned a lot while doing this too. They're not even
saying she didn't know how to do it, like she

(17:39):
could have failed out of nursing school. But really, right, That's.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Why I guess I was curious by most disturbing cases
we've ever.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
It sounds like because it was so many patients and
so long. Yeah, a woman has been arrested on EI
did that one twice a year. Here's one. An unlicensed
doctor in Cincinnati was found guilty of luring men to
his home and doing ultrasounds on their junk. From Local twelve.

(18:05):
A man was found guilty of practicing medicine with only
a training license. He lured me into his apartment to
perform ultrasounds on their genitals.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
What do you need?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
You know this dude, if he's like in the dude's
and into dude genitals while he's doing this, He's like,
this is the greatest grip of ever coming up come
up with like, I'm like.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Who's he praying on? Like men that are nervous, they
may have like testicular cancer or something.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
According to complaints, he told men he needed to complete
a certain number of ultrasounds for a training program.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Oh, so he was using a bit of hey, like
and I'll do this for free.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Like my yes, my cousin is a nurse, and she
had to have us allow her to practice needles, so
she would do all the things because she had to
have somebody, and so she'd practice needles on people, including me,
and it was stupid. I hated it because I don't
like needles. But she had to learn to take black
from knuckles. But you have to have people that allow

(18:58):
you to work on them. And so he was using
even though it wasn't true. You're like, hey, I needed
to ding dong, you can I do that, and I'll
also check you out. But you know he's getting off
to this stuff.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
That's the only reason you do it. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying, Like, there's no way he's doing that because he's.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Right, that's great. He figured out the perfect if that's
his thing, he figured out the perfect way to make
it happen. He bought an ultrasound machine to do that.
That's a pretty expensive investment.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, I mean as soon as somebody's like, all right,
take your pants up, like I'm not noing no.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Ray, try to be a model, that guy got ready
to do that. I mean, we're digging way back. I
was still wet behind the ears at that point. But yeah, now,
I know you probably need to see some credentials. Let's
see at least something that says that you work at
Express instead of just believing people for their word.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, good idea.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Next thing, you know, raise again his dong ultrasound. Those
pictures could have been huge though overseas somewhere Mexico. Maybe
they shopped him around. You never got paid for them.
I didn't and you didn't see them, so they weren't huge.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Anywhere that They are huge.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
On this guy's computer screen as he's like thinking about you. Right.
That was my other problem. I never really got a
way to know if they ever got used. He just goes, hey,
if they use it, we'll let you know. Well, what
if they use it? And just never let me know
because I can't because you have to be paid. Right.
But if it were to see that, if someone saw
that and said, hey, I saw this, then you can
sue them. It wasn't legit. I don't know you trying

(20:14):
to talk yourself into being legit. No, I'm just trying
to be like, hey, why didn't I ask, hey, man,
how do I track this? Cause like I'm just supposed
to know every billboard and magazine that it could possibly
be used. No, he probably have been paid though, to
come in and take your clothes off for a guy.
Now we know. Now we know, and that's them. They
may have been the same way.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Now we know.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Oh those four guys.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
You could be huge though, Ray And like that's what
I'm Seldiom. I go to Bali someday and I'm on
all the billboards. Have you ever seen searching for Sugarman?
I heard he's big in another country?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Right?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah? So a guy from near Detroit and musicians and
his music is a musician kind of a failed musician
here and like a rip CD was over in Africa
and started to get passed around and shared and station
started to play it and next thing you know, he's
freaking famous as crap over there. Didn't know it was
hearing getting paid for it, like completely obscure as an

(21:03):
artist here over there with massive but other people were
making money off of it and he didn't even know it.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
And I think the storyline that whoever stole the music
and sold it was that he died a long time ago,
so all the fans were like, oh, yeah, he's dead.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Because that's why there's no more.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, it was only that one album.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
You might be Sugarman. The nude shots you did for
that weird dude might be in another country somewhere. That's
why I've always wanted to go to like Bali places
like that. That's why you want to go to, say,
if you're on a billboard like that's the reason. Well,
also the beaches.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, how old is that billboard?

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Though?

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Right, That's what I'm saying. But also, I mean, is
there a rule you got to update? I mean, who
says you can't use models from fifteen years ago if
they're better looking than the people nowadays.

Speaker 6 (21:42):
It's a good point.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
I mean, pound for pound, who says another guy modeled
underwear better than me? I think mostly it's about the
design of the underwear.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
And the technology. Oh that's true, what he's wearing.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, Whitey Tidies as a probably album. Well, whatever the
brand is, they probably have a new model of whatever
they're selling. I guess they could ai the new and
We're on you, but they only do that. They could
they could do if your pictures are so hot and
they just want a I knew when we were on
you every year. Man, have you awesome?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
You never ever got paid for it? Zero dollars? Yeah,
all right, sorry to hear that.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Man.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Let's throw over to our interview with Bailey Zimmerman right now.
I love having Bailey. And here he is, Bailey Zimmerman
on the Bobby Bone Show.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Now, Bailey Zimmerman.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Bailey, what's up buddy? How you doing?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Amazing? Man? How are you?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Question? Do you have ADHD so bad? Are you open
about that?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh yeah, Amy has it too. She talks about it
a lot. Okay, yeah you guys talking about that for
a second.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hi Amy? Hi've ADHD?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Are you so you medicated or do? You don't have
to say, but.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Wow that see I can't ask that question.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
But a lot I've gone so I've I've medicated without
all and then I have gotten off of it and
I've chosen to stay unmedicated. Yeah, just because I kept
having to increase my dose and then how I was feeling.
And obviously I liked the focus and how I would
be able to go from task to task with ease
on medication. But I sort of, you know, I don't

(23:09):
mind them back and forth all over the place now.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah, it always made me feel like like a zombie,
like I could never it would chill me too out.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, yeah, it depends on which type. Because I had
that in college. I took something called strata and I
remember sitting in class just like staring at my professor.
I still wasn't absorbing information. I just was like, I
felt like you like a zombie.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Did you ever get on riddling?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
No, I've only done that.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Stuff was crazy.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Oh yeah I've taken that, dude.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
It's nuts.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
That's not like a medication, like a drug.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
It was like I was like, I don't know, seven,
eight years old and I tried riddling and we used
to have a pond.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
This is a true story.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
We used to have a pond in our front yard.
And I woke up and I was like halfway in
the on sleeping. So riddlin was making me sleepwalking crazy
like unlocking doors, walking outside, like going to the fridge
and taking some eating food like had me doing crazy stuff.
So yeah, riddlin not great. And then I went to

(24:19):
concerta and that's what made me just feel so zombified.
So then I was like, you know what, I'm just
gonna like do it without it and honestly, yeah, raw dog.
And I'm like, I'm just it's I think it's the
reason I'm where I'm at today in my career. Yeah,

(24:42):
and I just started going, Okay, I have ADHD, so
I'm gonna be like me and some people are may
not like that.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
That's okay, but it's.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Better to be me than try to put medicine in
my body to make me not me.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yes, we love you, okay, Next question, love to man.
Next next question. Your stage tosses you in the air.
Oh yeah, First of all, it's super cool.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah. Even I like some of the tiktoks too, like
from Under and it shows you like getting up, like
that's super cool if you're not fully braced and prepared,
because I think launches you up and you come jumping
on stage, can you get hurt?

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (25:22):
So I have to, like I kind of like took
to it pretty naturally, cause I'd imagine when something's throwing
you up and you're like wobbly knees, like you know,
potentially like like your like leg or anything. But also
when it's throwing you up and you're not braced to
like go straight up, it can throw you backwards or
it'll throw you forwards.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
So that's what I had to like learn. Did you
practice it a bunch before you went out? Like, oh, yeah,
have you had any close calls with it?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
No?

Speaker 5 (25:50):
No, Right off the rip, I was just like okay.
The first one was like Okay, this is what it's
gonna do. And then we be cause you can turn
it up and down. Yeah, you can turn that make
it throw you up even higher. It'd be like medicine
like Gamy's talking about. I'll get used to it and
I want to go higher and higher. I'm at one
hundred percent now. I was like, finally like dude, come on,
let's just do it. But yeah, first I started out

(26:11):
like fifty and I was like, oh, that's not enough.
And then as I checked doing I probably did it
I don't know thirty forty times before I was like, Okay,
I think I'm good to go do this on a show.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's sick. You watch the videos from the crowd when
you come out. It's pretty sick, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh, it's so much fun to watch.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
I have like this thing, this ongoing show thing where
I see if I can get higher than I did
the night before. So I think I think Saint Louis
might have been my highest.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Now is that because of any other reason that you
were just feel on your legs or of the spring
sometimes a little spring here. The weather could be older,
it could be warmer.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think I'm like just more amped.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Yeah, And I kind of see how high I can
get cause you can kind of control it, like when
it goes up. If you kept braced and did it,
you know, jump up with it, it wouldn't throw you
very high. But I like I spring with it. I've
like found where it stops, so I spring off that.
So like it's kind of like my goal is It's awesome,

(27:10):
how high can I get?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
One night?

Speaker 5 (27:12):
I touched the top like the rope, like the rope
I swing off of. I touched with my head. Pretty solid.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
New records out today. I do want to talk about
some new music now. This song's been out a little bit,
but I did see that you and Combs are the
SEC SEC football the song.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yes, that's crazy. It's crazy, dude.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Because I heard it and I was like, oh, cool,
and then I saw it was the SEC song. It
was like in a commercial. Yeah, that's pretty cool too.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
It's one of those things where all my friends were like,
all right, dude, You've done a lot of cool stuff,
but this is pretty freaking.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I kind of felt the same way. I was like,
that's the coolest thing I've ever seen, Bailey do. Is
you got the SEC the Football song of the Year.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
And it's funny because I didn't even really know about
it because just we've been so busy and I didn't
super know about it. But then somebody hit me up
like last week about it, like hey, they're wanting to
post the you know, the commercial next week and I'm like,
what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
And they're like, oh, you didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
You're like you and Luke's song is like SEC like song,
like theme song, And I'm like, dude, where are people
gonna start telling me stuff like that's how you heard it,
That's how I heard about it. I was like, oh, yeah,
I guess like this is insane, so yeah, it's still
pretty fresh for me as well. So pretty crazy though, man,
I'm like, whoa, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
What song when you perform does the whole crowd sing
so loud that you have to kind of let them
sing it?

Speaker 5 (28:38):
I would say right now, it would be between rock
and a hard place, religiously or where it ends.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I have three of those, that's how you know your
man all the way, four of those with big extra plug.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
They're loving that thing, man.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
So yeah, how'd that come together? By the way, Oh I.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Call it manifestation honestly.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
So I was sitting at in my studio my house,
and I was like scrolling through Instagram, and do you
remember when it was like he was really talking about
the country you know, EP wanted to put out or
whatever the project.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
So I kept seeing that.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
I was like, dude, how cool would it be to
like be with a big X on like a song.
It'd be crazy, Hopefully asked me. Like, but I don't know,
you know, no, I'd never message him or like met
him or anything. So I was just like, okay, well whatever,
like that'd be sick, you know, And then I don't

(29:34):
know like two or three months later, like a month later,
whatever it was, I got a text and he was like, Hey,
this is X.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Do you like this song? I was like, I turned
it on like halfway through.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
I was like, uh yeah, bro, this is like one
of the fire songs I've heard in a long time,
Like this is really cool and he was I was like,
what do you want me to do? And he was like, well,
I want you to cut it with me, and I
was like okay. Took me like ten minutes, cut the
song real quick at the studio and send him back
like just a rough version of like what it was,
and Dan, all of a sudden, I had a song

(30:05):
with Big X the blog.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
It's cool too because for those that would be like, ah,
I'm not a Big X fan. You start it's you
at the beginning, so they could think it's a Bailey's
Immerman song, yeah, before it actually hits and you're like, Okay,
this is Bailey on somebody's track. Like It's like, I
think it could take a bunch of naysayers and make
them actually like the song before they realize that they
love the song because of how he put it together.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
And that's one of my favorite things about that song
is it's a big X song, but I started yeah,
and it's so it feels like truly a collaboration in
all aspects. Like it's just really cool. And I thought
the same thing, like me starting it, you almost think
it's my song, but then it's not. When he comes in,
it's like it's like, dang, let's go gosh.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Some people don't have to have, you know, pictures cut
out on their vision board for months. It's not years
for their manifestation. You're just just like, spoke.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
It, speak it out into the world. That's all you
gotta do. I'm like, if that's honestly, how basically everything
has happened, I swear like I was like, man, the
time I met Morgan, I had been talking about, Man,
I really want to.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Meet Morgan so bad.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
And then all of a sudden, he was just in
the big loud parking lot and I he was like, hey,
I know you, and I was like you know me?

Speaker 2 (31:26):
And he's like, yeah, you're Bailey. You got that song
fall in Love.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
I love that song. I'm like, bro, holy crap, how
do you even know my name? And why do you
know my music? And then all of a sudden I
was on tour with him and then all of this,
like all these things just like happened like that.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
So can you do one of those for me? I
just text you about this for me, because all I
gotta do is say it, okay, world, I want to
sing the seventh inning stretch it regularly filled for the Cubs.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
Got you, We're gonna make it happen that Bobby, You're
gonna You're gonna sing the seventh inning stretch at the
at the Chicago cubcame.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Okay, can happen? I believe it.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
And now if it does, Bailey's never been effect.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Do we have a time frame on that, Bailey or
no time?

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Time, no time, no time. We just hope that happens.
How cool would that be?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Hey? That would be super cool. And I appreciate you
even acknowledging that that is one of the things that
I would like. And there's no pressure on anything here,
just too Bud, just talking it up.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
And it's it's it's funny because you would never think
that a Cubs fan and a Cardinals fan could be
friends like we.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Are exactly and look at us.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Best of this is twenty twenty five. My friend it.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Is a lot of people coming together. Yeah, eighteen tracks
on this thing. Uh so some of these though we
know already.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Uh and so I don't know, do you have one
that you hope people go this is the one I
you have? Like, here's what where it's comes from. We're
talking about our favorite kids. Everybody has favorite kids, have
kids yet, but do you have like a favorite kid
on this record? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
I would.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
I would say I'm a favorite kid. It's a song
called Chevy Silverado. Okay, And so you know how the
end of the chorus kind of the cook was into
the second verse. That's how the song starts to, which
I think is one of the coolest things.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
It starts off with why chev Silverado?

Speaker 5 (33:12):
And then into the second verse that's the first words
of the second verse two. But then at the very
end of the song it goes right back into what
I think. It's like the coolest thing ever. And I
started writing that by myself with a guitar, which I
really just learned how to sing and play guitar and

(33:33):
write melody. You know, I can play and sing songs
and I've already written but it's it's kind of hard
to like think of melody and strum, the way it
needs to be struggled, all the things. So this one
I'm just really proud of because one I made it.
I started it and wrote the whole idea about it

(33:54):
myself on the couch, and I did it for like
two years, and then I kept rewriting and kept rewriting,
and then I finally was like, Okay, it's time to
get some professionals in here that can can really help me,
you know, get what I'm trying to say out. And
so I called all my buddies and I was like, Yo,
come over and let's help me write this song.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I've basically got it all done. I just need your help.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
And that night it just turned into like everything that
I was missing. They just filled in all these crazy spots.
And then another reason, it's my child, the first one
being I worked so hard and so long on it
and it just is.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Like just my child that I, you know, birth.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
But then also the song is about me being sixteen
and having to borrow money from the bank to buy
my grandpa's white Chevy Silverado, and it was just a
big deal to me because just trucks have always been
a really big thing to me. Me and my grandpa
were like best buddies that truck. I learned to driving

(34:58):
that truck, so I really wanted to buy it. And
so that's what you kind of hear from the first
of the song is how I bought this truck from
my grandma or from my grandpa, and then I started
to fall in love with it, like fall in love
in the truck. And there were so many relationships that
like that. I fell in love with girls and they,
you know, like I'm a heartbroke buy them in the

(35:19):
same passards see like the same.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
And throughout the song you'll understand it's like I still
have my Chevy Silverado, but all the girls that have
been in it are gone now. So basically, don't get
a girlfriend by a Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I hear you ge'ts an ad for Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
You know what I all knew Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
What I find super interesting you talk about the structure
of the song and how parts of the song at
the end of the course also are the beginning of
the line, and it's almost like really good wordplay, but
it's really good structure play. And there have only ever
been a couple of songs that have struck me that
do that. Another one is and it's not written at
all the same, And I don't think they're based on
each other. But hey girl, Billy Carrington, because it starts

(36:05):
hey girl, and at the end you got me say,
but it's also the it's the end of the chorus,
but it's also the beginning of that next second verse. Yeah,
And I always felt like, man, that's kind of brilliant
how they did that same with that song, like how
you guys did that? Not the same as that, but
the structure of it, I feel like, is so novel
and original feeling that it struck me the same way.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Thanks.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
Yeah, and that song Billy Carrington, I got to meet
just by the way, just real quick, adhd thing.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
I had to meet Billy Carrington. Dude, he's a legend.
He's awesome, He's a legend.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
He wasn't here once and he at the end of
the interview, he comes up and he like quietly hands
me a piece of paper and he's like, good to
see Because I like Billy. I have a lot of
respect for Billy, like as an artist and somebody who
knows what his life is and doesn't chase things he
doesn't love, and it's like always known, and he has
a piece of paper and he walks out and on
the open piece of paper and he's like, hey, h
come stay in Hawaii with me for a few days

(36:55):
and had his number and his he was like come stay.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I never did. I don't want to, but but I
thought it was super nice of him to do. Yeah,
because I know, yeah, why you why do you love Billy?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
He was just really nice to me. I got to
play this private party with him, and you know, being young,
and I was headlining and he was opening up for me,
which is really really weird still, and I just thought, like, man,
I wonder how this guy's going to be.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
And then he was like the nicest guy.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
And I'm such a big fan of all this music,
so just like, man, that much more there was like, Dude,
I picked the right guy because I've always listened to
his songs every single one. And then now that you've
like been nice to me as well, it's just like, yep,
ten out of ten, Billy Curring didn't.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Love that guy.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
That's an odd dynamic because your career is doing really
great things right now and not that it isn't, but
he's taking the time off. Billy just goes away for
a while, like just disappears and goes lives in Hawaii
and climbs rocks and eats bugs. I don't know what
he's doing over there, but and I would compare it
like with Morgan. He's got Miranda out opening shows for him,
and he's got Brooks and Nun opening show for him
because his career is skyrocketing. And I'm sure there's a

(38:02):
bit of a dynamic at first to go. Man, these
artists have been legends for so long. Are they going
to be weird about opening for me? Or are they
going to be awesome? And it seems that they also
understand what happens in anything creative, right. It doesn't mean
anybody's better than anybody else, but timing is a big
part of it. And it's cool to hear that he

(38:24):
was cool even though he was opening for you.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
Same with Tyler Hubbard too. I just played a festival
with Tyler Hubbard and I was like, hey, dude, this
is really weird because you are Tyler Hubbard, like the
Tea hub and you're trying to open it up for me,
and is it weird to you, and he was like, no, man,
I'm so grateful, bro, Like this is just amazing and
I love seeing what you're doing. It was so nice

(38:47):
to me. I was like, okay, two for two, like
this is pretty weird. Still, like I'm never gonna not
think that.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
This is you know, this is not normal.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
I'm trying to picture though, like would you ever expect
any of them to be like, well, it sucks.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Wow, maybe, but they could be real about it and
be like, yeah, it kind of sucks, but you're killing it,
so I get it.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
They could Like they sometimes they're like rude, oh yeah,
like the was They're just like I don't want to
be around you and I don't want to talk to you,
and I stay on my blast, I play my show,
I leave and that usually like lets me know, like
oh man, like they were just like felt the type
of way.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
And it's not toward you. It's within themselves.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
It's always like an insecurity and I get that as well, man,
Like you know, I've got insecurities every single day, like
just about you know, life and music and all the
stuff we're doing. And so I get it for sure,
but it is really refreshing because I'm like, hey man,
I'm not here to steal anybody's spot. I'm not here
to like, you know, overstep my welcome. But you know

(39:46):
I am. I'm here and I want to be friends
if they want to be friends. And that's like with
Tyler and with Billy, it was like, Okay, I hope
everybody treats me like this because this is so nice
and I'm getting to meet my heroes like me and
Tyler did Cruise during his set, so I was like, dude,
I will never pass up the opportunity to play Cruise

(40:08):
with Tyler Eward.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Now, of course, I think it also says a lot
about you to go and approach it in like a
real life human way of like, hey, I know it
was kind of weird, but I'm a big fan. Like,
I think a lot of people and your shoes wouldn't
do that as well, because not that they're not good people,
but they'd be afraid of what that dynamic could be.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
And you're not.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
You're just like, you're awesome. It is kind of weird,
but here's the situation.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Three other questions. Question one, what's the best part about
being famous now.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
Having the freedom to like do what I want to do.
I was thinking about this this morning. I growing up,
I hated being told what to do. You can ask
me if I will do something, and I can say
yes or no. But if you're telling me what to do,
that just like drives me nuts. It's just it's just
like irked me my whole life. So then when I

(40:56):
was working for like Pipeline and Union, they would always
just scream at you and tell you what to do.
And that's what originally made me go, dude, I can't
do this the rest of my life.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Like, I just can't do this. I've got to try
other things.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
So when I started trying other things, music and singing
was like the second part, like the second thing I
tried and it ended up working out TikTok and now
I'm here with you guys. But the one thing I
started to love when I quit my job and I
put my first song out was I was like, man,
I don't even care how much money I make. I

(41:31):
don't care about anything other than being able to write
songs because I love to do this and it's amazing,
and being able to be in control of my time,
because I think time is more valuable than money or
anything else in the world. The only thing you can't
get more of exactly, they don't make more of it
and you can't get it back. So I'd say that's
probably one of my my favorite things about being a

(41:52):
just famous or a country artist or whatever is. You know,
I get to I get to say what I'm gonna
do and when I'm gonna do it, and I get
to like take time off and see my mom when
I want to. I get to, you know, take my
family vacations. Another reason would be that I get to
take care of my family because we grew up really
really poor and it was just really rough for a

(42:14):
long time. So being able to take care of like
my dad and my mom and my grandma.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's pretty crazy. And that would be I got one more.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
If you want one more, I would say it's being
able to connect and meet so many.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
People all over the world.

Speaker 5 (42:31):
Like I've been able to travel and meet crazy cool
people that teach me things and I've learned things from
I've got friends. There's actually I've met some friends at
shows over in Wales, UK. Now they're moving to the
United States because they fell in love with my family
back home in Illinois and they're gonna move to Illinois.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
So it's like just all those things I would.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
Say like my top three, you know, being able to
have control of my time and my life, being able
to take care of my family is awesome. And then
all the people you meet and all the relationships that
you build just being on the road shows. I've got
some of my friends that I've met that like started
as fans and they're still fans, but now we're like

(43:14):
actually friends because they come to all the shows.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
And yeah, so man, it's there's.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
A lot of things. I could keep going on and on,
but I live a very blessed life.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
The tour with you and Dila Marlowe and Drew Baldridge January, March, April, May, June, July.
I'm doing fingers. I gotta do months on fingers.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
I always do fingers, dude.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Okay, good. Uh So are you off of the more?
Are you still doing any other shows as support or
are you completely doing festival like Bailey shows now in
festival's affairs.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
Yeah, I think so. I'm only doing headline. I'm not
on the Morgan tour anymore. Okay, I'm doing all headline
this year on the neud Country Tour, and that's a
summer tour.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
With all the way through nine March April September. Thank
you really got.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
You, got You got you?

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Yeah, but uh, and then also doing festivals and fairs,
and that's still one of my favorite things. Is like
I personally love direct supporting people, like I love that slot.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I love.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
Just like I don't know, being around other artists, I guess,
and like supporting Luke Bryan like I'll always do that.
That's like the best. I don't care how big I
get or whatever. Dude, supporting more than Wallen is awesome.
Supporting Luke Bryan is awesome. Jason Aldiet, I don't care
who is. Like l I thank Me and Laney are
doing a couple of shows next year, and I'm really

(44:37):
excited for that cause direct supplot is you know, it's
that slot is really fun. So yeah, next year, I'm
gonna do some direct support stuff. I think I have
another show this year that's direct support, but then all
the rest is headline.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Uh. And mostly I was asking that because they booked
this stuff so far out, Like who's to know you
were gonna blow up like you have? Yeah, eighteen months
ago whenever you're you know, booking support stuff. So I went,
how far ahead you had booked? So Bailey's New to
Country tour Corning, California, Denver, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Richmond, Virginia, Duran, Oklahoma,

(45:12):
Council Bluffs, Iowa, Rena, Nevada, Laughlin, Nevada, and did a
bunch of fairs and festivals. And when'd you get your
first guitar?

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Ever?

Speaker 2 (45:21):
So fun fact, I got my first guitar.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
Actually, I played guitar when I was like, I think,
I was like ten, and I got a guitar. But
I liked like metal and like rock, so I bought
an LTD that's what it's called.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
I bought an LTD Electric.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
It was all white and it looked like a Less Paul,
like a Less Paul knockoff. And then played that from
like ten to eleven years old, and then sold it
because I got into like shoes and stuff. So I
kind of just like let it go, never thought anything
of it, but it actually did help me once I
started playing guitar again. The first guitar I got was

(46:05):
a guitar from Gibson.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Gibson gave me.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
Yeah, they gave me a j forty five when I
moved to town, which was very nice of them, and
they've been awesome to me. But yeah, when I started
playing when I was like ten or eleven, just like
learning the few things I learned. When I got it
back in my hands at twenty or twenty one, I
was like, Okay, I kind of understand memory there.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah. So yep, the.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Record, different nights, same rodeo. It is out today. I'm
gonna do one more song, ray, would you play New
to Country? So I'm talking about the tour because you
named the tour after the song. Yeah, not after the record.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
No, Well, because I didn't have the record yet.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Oh that's why got it. Timing thing. Then, did you
think you might name the record New to Country?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
No, dude, I really wanted So it's so funny.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
I for a long time I wanted to name the
record when it was and I was gonna put it out.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
So this is also a song on the treck.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yes, it's a song. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:14):
I was gonna call it the when it was album,
and that was gonna be last year. But then something
just like I just wasn't sitting right with me or
something like I just couldn't.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Get out of my head.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
Was like like the music needed more work, the creative
around it needed more love. I wanted to see what
other songs I was gonna write as well, And dude, I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
So glad that I waited.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
But that's why the that's why the tour now is
called New to Country because I named it after a
single because I was like, well, if I'm not gonna
drop the album, I definitely want to tour more.

Speaker 6 (47:48):
So.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, dude, it's the funnest song live.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
I've got like I've got like flames and crazy stuff
blowing up.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
It's awesome. Oh yeah, my ADHD loves it.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Bailey's Zimmerman. The record's out today, different nights, same Rodeo
and at Bailey dot Zimmerman Instagram. All the tour dates.
Everything is easy to find. Good to see you, buddy,
always good to see. We love you around here and
we'll see you soon.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Thanks for having me love.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
The Chevy Camaro Z L one is the car that
thieves target more than any other car. According to a
new report, that's the number one stolen car. Not a
big Camaro guy. I don't like them.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
I don't even think they've made them a fast though, right.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
I need to look at it and see. Can you
pull up the Chevy.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Z Oh, there it is. It's the first one up there.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Yeah, that's not for me.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
It's a sports car, but it's not too flashy.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
Well the Z one looks like.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
A charger, yeah it does.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Or a Mustang.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
Yeah, the Z one seems to have a little yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Accurate TLX frol drive. I don't know what any of
these are. I don't think Chevrolet Camaro. Two of the
three are Camaros. I guess a normal Camaro is number three,
GMC Sierra Accurate Likes GMC Sierra, Chevrolet, Silverado, Dodge Durango,
land Rover, Range Over four, World Drive, RAM fifty hundred
Crew Cab. I don't know any of that car.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Have you ever gotten a car stolen?

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I lost that institute.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
I know my jeep. Man, Gosh, it's such a terrible feeling.
Like I had my jeep. It was parked in front
of my house. But it was my fault because like
I have a hitch, I had a hitch in front
of it, where like you just lower that hitch, put.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
It off, tow it off.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Yeah, and I guess I didn't put it in first
gear or whatever, and my wife called me at work.
She's like, hey, where did you take your jeep? Because
I don't see the other car either, and the jeep's
not up front. I'm like, no, I didn't take the jeep.
What are you talking about? Sure enough, somebody took it.
They found it, like, I don't know, three or four
weeks later in a field. It was all stripped, right,

(49:52):
Oh do they took all the parts out of it?
It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
You still like your jeep?

Speaker 5 (49:56):
Now?

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Love my jeep? I mean, at some point, I feel
like I want an enclosed car because like, whenever I.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Got a rental yesterday, we're playing golf and it starts
raining out of nowhere and that He's like, my freaking
jee's getting soaked.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Yeah, yeah, it did get soaked. And it happened the
day before too. Because it's a pain to put the
top up for a rain shower that's going to last
for thirty minutes. You put the top up, and then
you're like, Okay, it's hot again, so I'm gonna put
the top back down. So it's kind of a pain
in the butt. But every time I rent a car, dude,
I'm like, gosh, this feels good to be in a
quiet car.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Yet I guess to sound too huh.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Yeah, it's quiet and it runs smooth. When you hit
a bump, it kind of you barely feel it in
the jeep. It's like, but oom jeep.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
For like six months, rain down me wants hard done.
Is over. I had to pull the plugs in the
mat down below and get all the water out. It's like,
this is not for me.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
Yeah, it's tops, the seats waterproof.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
They're not waterproof, but you know, you leave you leave
it in the sun for a day and it all
dries up.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Yeah, because my seats were cloth and so they dried faster.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
But I was like, this is not for me. I
don't want to always be watching the weather to see
if I could drive to the store.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
That's what I mean. Did I pay like ten a
month for a weather app just for that reason?

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah? That sucks. That sucks. We're done for today. Thank
you guys for being here. Thanks to Bailey Zimmerman for
stopping by you. Hope you guys had a good week.
We'll see you next week. Luke Bryan's coming in next week,
