Tony Scott (00:05):
Welcome to The Jay Franze Show, a
behind-the-curtain look at theentertainment industry, with
insights you can't pay for andstories you've never heard.
Now here's your host, JayFrancie.

Jay Franze (00:33):
And we are coming at you live.

Tiffany Mason (00:35):
I am Jay Francie and with me tonight, the Lucy to
my Ricky, my beautiful co-host,Miss Tiffany Mason.
Good evening, Jay.

Jay Franze (00:47):
If you are new to the show, this is your source
for the latest news, reviews andinterviews.
So if you'd like to join in,comment or fire off any
questions, please head over tojayfranzicom.
All right, my friend, before weget started, we must talk about
the question of the day.
We must the question of the day, the question of the day.
What's the one country songthat instantly takes you back to

(01:10):
a moment in time in your life?
What is the one country songinstantly takes you back to a
moment in time in your life?
Not now, later.
And if you would like toparticipate too, please put your
comments in the comment section.
Well, as always, in my searchthrough the internet, I found an

(01:32):
article called the 14 unlikelycountry hits.
That broke all of the rules.

I can't wait to learn.

Jay Franze (01:42):
And, true to form, I did not read them ahead of time
.
Love it, I don't know if that'sgood or bad, but I like to be
surprised on the show, so it'snatural reactions from the two
of us.

I agree.

Jay Franze (01:54):
But it sounded like an interesting article.
So the 14 unlikely country hits.
That broke all of the rules.
So what do you think they meanby that?

You know, last week we talked about like
Gretchen Wilson, how she, youknow, had a little bit more edge
, or how we talked about MarenMorris and she kind of had a you
know, maybe I guess not reallyfolky, but a different way.
Or Sam Hunt, how he does likethe fast talking and then sings
a little bit too.
So I think things like that, ormaybe they used like an
instrument in a new way.

Jay Franze (02:29):
All right, Well, what they say here?
The typical ones typically havea catchy hook or a memorable
lyric and a few mentions of abeer, your mother and truck.

What about a dog?
I mean dog.

Jay Franze (02:43):
Yes, absolutely.
You can leave out man's bestfriend right, I'm with you, All
right, so let's go down thislist here.
What did they say?
14?
All right, I don't think it'sin any particular order, so I
don't think we need to worryabout numbers tonight.
So number one the band Perry.

(03:03):
If I Die Young.

Oh, okay, I could see that.

Jay Franze (03:11):
I think it fits their description.
Only because it had a bluegrassfeel to that song.
It wasn't a traditional countrysong, bluegrass country, same
family but a little different,and I think this had more of
that bluegrass feel to it.
It was early in their career.
I think it was only theirsecond single.

Yeah, Well, and I think the subject content If I
Die Young, Bury Me in Satin.
Yeah, you know, I mean it'skind of a morbid storyline.

Jay Franze (03:36):
Absolutely.

So there was no car, no mama, no dog and no beer
.
Fair enough.

Jay Franze (03:45):
There is a car in the next one, Luke Combs Fast
Car.

Okay, how did that break all the rules?
Because we made a classic songthat we already knew.

Jay Franze (03:59):
I mean, I would say pop song.
But even Tracy Chapman's a folksinger, which is more in the
country world that one getsthrown out.

That one's not valid Because it does talk about
a beer.
The dad's hung up on beer andthat's why he can't get out.
Mama went off and left him andthen she ends up marrying
somebody and he does the samething.
She had always hoped for better.
Does the same thing she hadalways hoped for better.
Yeah, does the same thing, sono.

Jay Franze (04:27):
One of those songs, too, that it was written in a
woman's perspective.
So did he sing it in thewoman's perspective, or did he
sing it in the male's?

perspective.
He sung it in the woman'sperspective and I do not like
that.
You and I had discussed thatabout the Megan Maroney song.
When I checked it out, I waslistening to last week's episode
and we had talked about who'syour Daddy and I did not enjoy
it because who's your Daddy?

Jay Franze (04:53):
Apparently, I'm your daddy.

I did not enjoy it.

Jay Franze (04:57):
All right.
Well, I do like the song FastCar I do like Tracy Chapman's
version Me too.
I don't necessarily mind hisversion.

I like his version too.
I like hers.

Jay Franze (05:09):
So you like it, even though he's singing it in the
woman's perspective.

That one I do Because I love the Tracy Chapman
so much.
I'm not thinking of him when Ihear it.
I'm thinking of Tracy Chapman.

Jay Franze (05:20):
Alright, cam Burning House.

Why do I know this song?
I can't think of how this songgoes.
All right, cam Burning House.
Why do I know this song?
I can't think of how this songgoes, but I know I like it.
But why?
Because it doesn't have beer,mama or truck.

Jay Franze (05:36):
I don't know.
I don't know.
Let's see if they say why, whatare their thoughts?
It says ballads released in thesummertime by female artists
aren't supposed to work incountry radio.
That seems like a very oddthing to say.
If you write a ballad as awoman, or if you perform a

(05:57):
ballad as a woman in the summer,it's not going to work.
You can only perform a balladin the fall with an ice cream in
your left hand.

Okay, well, that's weird criteria, but okay,
that's a really good song.
I can't think of how it goesright now, but I know I love it
all right, next shibuzi bar songoh, come on.
Of course, that one makes senseto me.
It has a lot of a poppy feel toit, but it does have beer in it
, which is part of the typicalcountry, but it's also by a
black man.

Jay Franze (06:26):
You're really hung up on that beer thing.

Well, I need to know what the criteria is, and
then I can say if I agree or not.
So it's like a hybrid.
That one's a hybrid.

Jay Franze (06:38):
I don't know.
To me it does not have atypical country feel.
It doesn't follow the typicalchord structure and arrangement
of a country song.
It's not sung in a typicalcountry song manner but it fits,
it works so it does I think itfits the criteria, then all
right, let's see what's oh next.

(06:58):
The dixie chicks, the, thechicks not ready to make nice oh
, I'm not ready to make nice.

Um, maybe because it's a female perspective in an
argument and she's not beingsubmissive because I feel like
women are somewhat submissive ina country music story or
presumed to be submissive andshe's like no, it's kind of like
terry clark's song.

Jay Franze (07:28):
Um, I just want to be mad for a while, you know it
talks about their controversyand all that stuff that happened
back when bush was president.

Tony Scott (07:41):
I don't think any of that should really matter.

Jay Franze (07:42):
But the biggest thing they say in here that is
relevant at all is that the song.
It was a surprise that it evenmade the top 40.

It wasn't expected to make the top 40, so
the fact that I could see thatactually but but how nice is it
like when, um, I know like, alot of times I've heard people
say that music will say whatthey, like a person, can't say,
and so maybe those songs gavesomebody a voice.
You know where somebody wantedto say I'm not ready to play

(08:10):
nice, I'm not ready to make upyet, and so you gravitate
towards songs that have somerelevance in your life or
whatever, and we've all been inan argument with our, you know,
significant others, so I thinkthat that's a valid reason why
it made it to the top of thecharts it says here that the
song came out in 2006, which waswhen that controversy happened

(08:30):
with Bush, while the country wasup in arms.

Jay Franze (08:34):
They're surprised that the song still made it to
the top 40 at all.

That makes sense too.

Jay Franze (08:39):
All right, fair enough.
Parmalee and Blanco Brown.

Well, I do not know this song.

Jay Franze (08:49):
I didn't even tell you the song yet.

I thought you said Blanco Brown.

Jay Franze (08:54):
Another artist, parmalee in Blanco, brown, just
the Way, don't fire me Just theWay.

Yeah, crown, just the way, don't fire me.

Jay Franze (09:06):
Just the way, yeah, it says here, parmalee hadn't
had a chart topping song in sixyears what was the song again?
Just the way I don't know, Iprobably know it, but so, just
the way, they hadn't had achart-topping song in six years,
so this song was not expectedto do well.

(09:27):
So the fact that it was a hitwas unexpected.

Okay, so that's why it was unlikely to be a
country hit Got it.

Jay Franze (09:38):
Okay, next Little Big Town Girl Crush.

That's a song, oh God.

Tony Scott (09:51):
This is such a good song, but I get it.

I mean, I think a lot of people thought it was
like an actual girl crush, yeah,yeah, but it wasn't a girl
crush.
That was the best part.
I love, oh I love.
It was such a good song, such agood song.
I remember working at texasroadhouse and it would come on
like when we weren't open yet.
It would be a song that wouldcome on while we were doing
opening shift things or whatever.
And, oh God, our servicemanager and myself we would just

(10:13):
sing our hearts out when thatsong would come on.
Apparently, it came out in 2014.
Yep, I remember very vividly.
And said it was a little risquefor country radio, which is
hysterical because it's not even.
She doesn't really have a crushon a girl it says that right

(10:34):
here too.

Jay Franze (10:34):
It says this is definitely not a song about
having a crush on another girl.
However, despite the risquenature of the song and the fact
that it can be taken that way,it is a little too risque for
country radio.

Well, conservatives.

Jay Franze (10:54):
Country is a little conservative.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (10:57):
Most of the time lately.

It hasn't been.

Jay Franze (11:00):
Bouncing back and forth.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (11:03):
All right, rick D's Disco Duck.
Really Was that considered acountry song?

Tony Scott (11:12):
Do you remember the song?

No.

Jay Franze (11:15):
This was more of a disco song.
It came out in 1976.
It does say 1976, a noveltydisco track.
It says some things in life arebeyond explanation.
The fact that this song, a 1976novelty disco track about a man
who transforms into a duck,went number one on country radio

(11:38):
.

Wow.

Jay Franze (11:41):
Yeah, if you heard the song, it's a disco song,
there's no doubt about it.
So it's odd that it went tonumber one on the country charts
.
Sure, but it's not a countrysong.

It broke all the rules.
It broke a lot of rules.
Ain't no beer in that song,that one fits Bobby Gentry.

Jay Franze (12:00):
Ode to Billy Joe, not Billy Joe.

Tony Scott (12:03):
Jones, just Billy.

Joe.

Jay Franze (12:07):
The spooky song is cryptic and dark.
Okay, I don't know the song.
Do you know the song?

I do not.

Jay Franze (12:16):
All right, we're both fired.
Mark Chestnut, there you go.
That's a name I haven't heardin a while.
I don't want to miss a thing.
That's a name I haven't heardin a while.

I don't want to miss a thing.
That's a great song.
Is it because it was just aremake?
Maybe?

Jay Franze (12:30):
It is yeah.

Is that why it was unlikely that it broke?

Jay Franze (12:34):
Let's see what they have to say.
One of country's biggest 90shit maker chooses to do a cover
and make it the title of hisalbum, and he picks Aerosmith.

Tony Scott (12:47):
Yep, it happened.

And it went to number one for four weeks.

Jay Franze (12:55):
I'd still take Aerosmith over that one any day.
But Well you're an Aerosmithfan.

Tony Scott (12:58):
Mm-hmm.

Jay Franze (12:59):
All right, here's my girl.
Taylor Swift all too well,Taylor's version.
We have to specify Taylor'sversion.
Taylor Swift all too well,Taylor's version, we have to
specify.

Taylor's version.

Jay Franze (13:06):
Taylor Swift all too well.

Because it was 10 minutes, probably Because she
took so long to release theadditional seven minutes.

Jay Franze (13:16):
It does say here it mentions being 10 minutes long.
Yeah, there's nothingsurprising about Taylor topping
the charts, but in 2021, herTaylor's version of all Too Well
hit number one on the Billboardcountry charts.
Despite the fact that it's 10minutes long, True Swifties will
listen.
Of course I've listened to it.

(13:38):
I mean, my daughter's been inmy car and always wants the
Taylor version and specifiesmake sure it's the 10 minute one
.

That's what I reviewed with Priscilla on the
podcast.
That's the one she picked.

Jay Franze (13:51):
Maddie and Tay Girl in a Country Song.

Okay, I don't know why it's surprising.

Jay Franze (13:57):
Seems like a normal song.
Seems pretty typical Part ofthe reason it was such a big
surprise is that it went tonumber one.
I guess they just weren'texpecting it to go to number one
.
Okay, we didn't think you weregoing to be good enough, so it's
a surprise.

Well, maybe you can't do a fast song in winter.
Was it released in winter?

Jay Franze (14:20):
Did you not have the ice cream in your left hand?
Carly Pierce Every Little Thing.

I remember every little thing.

Jay Franze (14:34):
It's a heartbreak ballad released in the peak of
summer.

Come on, Carly, don't you know the rules?
You?
Can't have that so it'shappened twice on this list.

Jay Franze (14:46):
So, therefore, is it really unusual?
Oh, I hate these lists.
It's funny, I mean, I love thelist, but yet hate them at the
same time.

Right.

Jay Franze (14:59):
All right, and ending our list, Lil Nas X
featuring Billy Ray Cyrus OldTown Road.

It was one of the first collabs, one of the first
.
Not one of the first, but oneof the most memorable, or you
know what I'm saying, because itwas like rap or not.

Jay Franze (15:17):
No.
I don't think any of us do.

I know what you're saying yes, I thought you
could read my mind.
Right now it's an awecollaboration.
It's not your tip mind.
Right now it's an oddcollaboration.

Jay Franze (15:26):
It's not Kenny and Dolly, correct, it's not Tim and
Faith.

It's not two people from the same genre,
right.

Jay Franze (15:33):
Yeah, that's all right.

Thank you.
Thank you for clarifying what Iwas thinking to our people.
Sorry, crew members, all rightwell it was an interesting list.
Well, do you want to hop overto country news and hear?

Jay Franze (15:50):
another interesting list.
I would like to hop over tocountry news.
I don't know if you're going tomake it interesting or not,
that is on you I always make itinteresting, jay all right,
let's.
Let's see if there's some truthto that.

Okay, well, I think you will find this very
interesting, because we'retalking about Thomas Rhett
selling out Fenway Park, sendinglove to all the Bostonians.
He played a sold-out crowd of35,000 people at Boston's iconic
Fenway Park, marking the momentwith an emotional message to
the city that helped launch hiscareer.

Jay Franze (16:26):
That is awesome.
You are right.
I like that one.
I do Not only because Boston isthe hometown suburb of Boston.
I don't want to offend thepeople from the Boston area, but
Boston is my hometown, but it'sFenway Park.

Right, it's a big deal.

Jay Franze (16:43):
It's, in my opinion and I'm biased the best baseball
park in the league.

Well, there you go.
Tom's Red sold it out.

Jay Franze (16:52):
Nice Good for him, buddy Good for him.

Okay, well, lainey Wilson getting a lot of
attention.
I know one of our people triedto say that she had an
underrated voice, but I'm prettysure she's getting plenty of
attention to say that she had anunderrated voice, but I'm
pretty sure she's getting plentyof attention.
I still don't understand thateither.
That was funny.
Her before Yellowstone daysthat was the stipulation that he
had put on that comment.

(17:17):
Okay, but she was moved totears as Country Music Hall of
Fame unveiled a full exhibitdedicated to her journey,
spotlighting how far she's comeand just how tough those nails
really are.

Jay Franze (17:27):
I would have liked to have seen that exhibit.
I mean, we were there, I knewabout it.
I may have made a slight effort.

I know I feel like that was such a huge miss
for us Next year.
It's got to go on the list.
It's got to go on the list.
There's a couple things thatare going on the list.
We can't say it was a miss forus.

Jay Franze (17:43):
We could have spin it to a more positive thing that
we wish we had had time to takein that one as well.

We don't miss, we don't fail.
It's true, it's true, we don't.

Jay Franze (17:52):
I mean when you're swinging home runs like us.
We may not win, but we don'tlose.

Okay, fair, because we did cover a lot of
ground.
So how are we supposed to havetime for that too?

Jay Franze (18:01):
I mean we were just busy.

We have to prioritize okay, I get it well.
Also, lenny wilson you know shehas this big fiance and I guess
ai is taking over social mediabecause it has all kinds of
pictures of them that theyalready are married.
So it says lenny wilson andfiance devlin hodges are the

(18:22):
latest to get caught in the AIcrossfire with fake wedding
photos circulating online.
So real, even grandma mightbelieve them.
I am so proud of myself.
When the Ozzy Osbourne news hit, or whatever that.

Jay Franze (18:40):
I didn't trust it.

No, that I didn't trust it.
Oh, I knew who it was.
Come on, I've met you, jay.
So, yes, I was very excitedthat I checked it, because I
normally just you know, believeeverything and then people are
like that's not true.
So I stopped doing that.
So I was really proud of myself.
But I am technically a grandma.

Tony Scott (19:08):
I'm sorry folks.

Jay Franze (19:08):
We had some technical difficulties.
We'll be back in a few minuteswith a new ghost.

Yes, so yeah.
I think that's funny, fairenough.

Jay Franze (19:19):
I don't know if you've seen any of the photos,
but you know, they look like her.
I mean I would have been ableto pick like her.

I mean I have not seen the photos pick him out,
but have you seen the ones whereai makes like, uh, you know,
like an animal turns into like aperson or something?
Or they have these ones whereit's like these tidal waves are
coming at cities or whatever.
There's some pretty good ones.
They must be getting agajillion views because you
can't even believe your eyes.
So you just watch it and watchit, and watch it, and watch it

(19:48):
and you're like this is stupid,what am I doing?

Jay Franze (19:51):
I see them and that obviously there's plenty that
you just look at and go.
That's not real Right, but I'llshow it to my wife because it
still looks really cool.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (20:06):
She'll just turn this term she goes.

You know that's ai stop it.
I'm like I wasn't telling youit wasn't.
It's impressive, it isimpressive, it is yeah well, now
you can make wedding photos Iknow they're doing where you can
say that you're interviewingsomebody famous now with like 11
labs or other ai voicetechnology.
So who should we have on theshow?
J, jay, we could have anybodyon the show now.

Jay Franze (20:27):
AI Trump visits us every week.
True, I'm sure he'll be heretonight.
It'll only take time.
Read a few more stories.
He'll be here sooner than youknow it.

Okay.
Well, let's see if he shows upwhen I'm talking about the band
Perry.
They are returning, but with anew look.
The band Perry is stepping backinto the spotlight, but don't
expect that exact trio youremember.
A new member has joined and theband is ready for a fresh
chapter.

Jay Franze (20:55):
Yeah, I heard about that, so I'm anxious to hear
what the new trio sounds like.

Now, as long as they do not release a ballad in
summer, they should be okay,right?

Jay Franze (21:11):
but yeah, she does the majority of the singing too,
so yeah, that's funny.

Well, should we move on to talk about Carrie
Underwood.

Jay Franze (21:21):
Yes, please.

Carrie Underwood Tell me all about her.
Carrie Underwood once channeledOzzy on the Howard Stern Show.
Carrie Underwood stunned rockand country fans alike when she
covered Ozzy Osbourne's Mama I'mComing Home, a powerful moment
that now hits even harderfollowing Ozzy's passing.
I could not believe it.

Jay Franze (21:40):
Yeah, let's take a moment of silence for Ozzy, and
it's over, can't?

be too silent for too long, because it's audio
it's Ozzy.
No, it's Ozzy, it's Ozzy.

Jay Franze (21:53):
But yes, first of all, let's not pass over the
fact that she's amazing singingrock songs.
It's awesome, but that is avery special song and Ozzy's
passing it.
It's fitting, but that is avery special song and ozzy's
passing it.
It's fitting that that's comingback up and they're making a
big deal out of the fact that hesang that song during the black
sabbath reunion because it'snot a black sabbath song.

(22:15):
It's an ozzy song yes, and hesang that song and they made it
made it as if he was singing itto his mother.
That has passed, that he'scoming home to her.

Oh, interesting.

Jay Franze (22:28):
The question is do you believe he passed or do you
believe he offed himself?
Because they were supposed togo to, I believe, switzerland,
and do assisted suicide.
Really, after that show, afterthe Black Sabbath reunion, they
were supposed to go straight toSwitzerland, which they did the

(22:50):
whole family, because that's oneof the only places you can do
legal assisted suicide.

Oh well, I got to think that it was intentional
then.

Jay Franze (23:02):
They talked about it and his wife talked about it.
So I mean, it appears as ifthat's what happened.
But what I'm curious about too,is she also talks about their
bond and their love and theirpromise to each other, and one
of those promises was if onegoes, the other goes.
So I don't know if this isgoing to include her or not.

Interesting.
Well, I did see Rolling Stonehad a whole thing like his top
20 songs or something, so I wasreading through that and it just
talked about how much he reallystruggled with his quote,
unquote demons and I mean Idon't know if he was ever of
right mind, like it just soundslike he was just one of those
troubled people he is the princeof darkness so I don't know.

(23:51):
That's sad, I did not know that.
But you know, if you're ready,you're ready.

Jay Franze (23:57):
Maybe I don't know he was in a lot of pain.

Oh, okay.

Jay Franze (24:02):
A lot of pain and he stopped all his pain meds
before that show so he could beas in tune with the audience as
possible that night.

Oh, interesting, so he was in massive pain during
that performance.
When I'm in a lot of pain, I'mlike super irritable.
So I'm proud of him for holdingit together for the sake of the
fans.

Jay Franze (24:24):
It's a sad thing, the whole thing's sad it is sad
like ozzy, or not sad?
I didn't realize just how wellloved he was because everybody,
not just people in the rockindustry but everybody in the
country industry, everybody is,you know, nodding to ozzy week.
So it's very impressive, prettycool.
Yeah, he did invent the bandBlack Sabbath was the start of

(24:49):
heavy metal.
So they created a genre.

Just warms your heart that everybody is coming
together and mourning that blackheart.

Jay Franze (24:59):
Yes, All right, let's move on.

Well, Jelly Roll says he's teaming up With Kevin
James.
I love Kevin James.
What is the show where he's theUPS delivery guy?

Jay Franze (25:14):
King of Queens.

Yes, I love him in that, and Paul Blart Mall Cop
.
Anyway, kevin James, a newcountry themed movie.

Jay Franze (25:23):
Paul Blart Mall Cop.

What did I say?

Jay Franze (25:25):
Blart Mall Cop Anyway.
Kevin James.
A new country-themed movie,paul.

Blart Mall Cop.
What did I?
Say Blart Blart.

Jay Franze (25:30):
Like Bart Blart Blart, paul Blart, I'm moving on
Kevin James reminds me of mybrother, and my brother reminds
me of Kevin James one of the two.

Ooh, I want to hang out with your brother.
So last sentence is you heardit right A little Nashville, a
little Hollywood and a lot ofheart.
I think that this is classicjelly roll.
Hey, like just morecollaboration.

Jay Franze (25:51):
Did you see he was the guest host on Jimmy Fallon?
No, he hosted the show that manwas doing everything.

He did a good job , I believe it.
I think he's just reallytalented, just, and he's lovable
, I think, because he's a thickguy and he's gone through all
the things he's gone through andpeople just have a heart for
him and then on top of it he'sjust nice to everybody, right.

Jay Franze (26:13):
so now I don't know what his life was like earlier
but I know what it's like nowyeah, yeah well, congratulations
to jelly roll for not onlydoing so great and being so
talented, but for overcomingyour demons as well and not
being an aussie whoa, whoa, whoatoo soon, too soon oh, hate

(26:38):
mail goes to tiffany atjfranzycom well, let's talk
about something more excitingyes so I know, last week we
talked about one of the stars Ithink it was john party going
out and his kids were sad thathe was leaving them.

And this time we're talking about jason aldean
and his sweet tour bus.
So jason aldean gave his kids afirst look at their new home
away from home, a decked outtour bus that had Memphis and
Navy.
His children lit up likeChristmas morning.
So I guess his wife shared on areal their reaction and what
that looked like.
So I can't wait to go checkthat out, but that'd be pretty

(27:16):
sweet.
When I was a little kid we wentcamping all the time but we had
like a I think I it's a 28-footcamper.
I think that sounds right to me.
Wasn't that the yacht?
Yes, yes, the yacht.
If you would have seen ourpontoon, oh God, that thing
looked like the Andy Griffithshow.

(27:38):
No, it was rough, yes, and sopeople would pull in these huge
rvs, you know, just luxuriousand like.
One time I remember this onekid had me sleep over and so you
know she and I were like in hergrandparents camper and, like
you know, king-size bed on bothend of the rv and all this other

(27:59):
stuff.
Just, I remember it being crazy, so I can only imagine that his
kids got like top of the line.
How cool.

Jay Franze (28:06):
Yeah, I saw pictures of it.
It's a really cool bus.
I mean, all tour buses arereally cool, and just whether or
not they're old or not.

Tony Scott (28:14):
Some of the older ones are still on the road and
they're a little rough.

I think it'd be cool.

Jay Franze (28:21):
Yeah.

Last week I was not sure if Gwen Stefani ever
had Blake Shelton's child.
Well, I am here this week toreport she in fact did.
She had a son with him and hisname is Zuma.
No, zuma, yeah, yes.

Jay Franze (28:43):
Her name is Zuma, reminds me of Zima I think Gwen
picked it out those Sprite-liketrinks.

Yeah, yes, it says Blake Shelton.
And Gwen Stefani's son, Zuma,didn't need any nudging.
He's naturally taken to countrymusic and he's already
performing on stage at Ol' Red.
So she did have a kid and he'sold performing on stage at Ol'
Red.
Oh, all right, so she did havea kid, and he's old enough to
sing.
That's Blake's bar.

Jay Franze (29:11):
Oh.

Ol' Red Got it.
That makes sense then.

Jay Franze (29:14):
It does make sense.
That's a great song.
I like that song a lot.
That's the song about thewarden's dog in prison.

Uh-huh, it's good .
Yeah, I do know what you'retalking about.
Bruce Springsteen surprisedfans at the Zach Bryan show.
So fans at the MetLife Stadium.
They got an unforgettablesurprise when the boss himself,
bruce Springsteen, walked out onstage for a once-in-a-lifetime
duet.

Jay Franze (29:42):
I mean how cool is that?
I'm just impressed that youdidn't add a T.

Well, because it's Zach.

Jay Franze (29:48):
If it was Luke, you'd add the T Right it's Luke
Bryant, so it's dependent I gotit All right, I don't know.
I've never been the biggestSpringsteen fan.
I mean, I like him but Iwouldn't go out of my way for
him.

But it would be cool to see him come out on
stage with somebody.

Jay Franze (30:06):
I was there to see If I was there to see.
Zach, it would be cool to seeBruce come out.

Yeah, I was going to say, if any celebrity that
wants to come out in the middleof another performance, that I'm
already there to see the personI want to see.
And now you're just going toput a cherry on the top, I'm in
my phone's, ready for a picture,nice.

Jay Franze (30:28):
My daughter's isn't.
It's full at all times and Ipay for the massive cloud
service like the unlimited cloudservice and her phone is always
full.
I'm like why is your phone full?
It doesn't make any sense.

They just take so many pictures.
I mean, I take a ton of crappictures too, so I go through
from time to time, just likewhile I'm watching TV or
something.
You know what I will say,though iPhone used to tell you
how many pictures you deleted,and there was nothing more
satisfying than when you selectit all and you delete it all and
it was like okay, all 237 fileshave been permanently deleted.

(31:03):
I'm like, oh my gosh, I justdeleted 237 pictures, but now
it's just like, okay, they'regone.
It's very unsatisfying.

Jay Franze (31:14):
I want to know what kind of space I just freed up on
my phone all right, moving on,what's the one country song that
instantly takes you back to amoment in your life?
What is the one country songthat instantly takes you back to
a moment in your life?

(31:34):
Would you like to start, orwould you like to think about it
for a little bit?

I'm going to think it through.
Okay, you think it through.
I always start, you do.

Jay Franze (31:42):
I always give you the option Do things at your
will.
I like it All right.
Oh, this is tough.
We're starting off with a toughone already.
Okay, all right, Jennifer.

That's not very tough.

Jay Franze (31:56):
That was tough for me.
That's your wife's name.
I don't think I've ever calledher Jennifer.
I always call her wife.
It was tough only because Icould not find her name through
this paragraph of writing.
But she says Amarillo bymorning, george Street, she says
.
It reminds her of early morningrodeos with her dad.

Oh cool, that sounds so cool.
That's a nice way to start.
It was hard to find.
Oh cool, that sounds so cool.

Jay Franze (32:24):
That's a nice way to start.
It was hard to find your name,Jennifer, but it was a nice way
to start.

That's awesome.
Who's going to top it?
That's so cool, that's socountry.

Jay Franze (32:37):
It's about your dad, that's so cool.
It is a country song.
I'm all for it, Jenniferiferdone are we, are we done.
I don't know.
This wasn't pick the best one,so this is just a one, so that's
a good way to start if it wasbest one, we'd probably be there
all right, lauren didn't golauren says strawberry wine dina

(33:02):
carter oh, that was on my list.
Love that one she says firstlove, first heartbreak.

Okay, it's a good song, I like it, I like I just
remember not knowing whatstrawberry wine was, and then I
found out, really, I mean, aboutboone's farms, boone's farm
wine, and then I thought that'swhat it was.
So it was like a curiositything for me, I guess.
And then you know, you actuallyhave it, and I don't know.

(33:31):
Coming right of passage it wasdelicious.

Jay Franze (33:35):
Okay.

I didn't.
Yeah, it was delicious.

Jay Franze (33:38):
I've never been a big wine drinker.

Well, it's not really wine.
It's like a wine cooler.
It's not.

Jay Franze (33:48):
I've never been a big wine cooler drinker either.
Never been a big drinkeroverall.
But if I were to drink, it'seither bourbon or beer.
You know, when I go to churchwhen I drink it strikes me odd
that the church has a full barin it, but that's okay.

at a bar I'm sure it was ahockey talk and I'm sure it was
a bunch of two-stepping going onand I'm sure it was her idea
because, dylan, we all know youdidn't want to do it, but you
did it to make her happy Now.

(43:24):
You're married to her and shewants to go two-stepping every
Tuesday night and you don't wantto do it.

times looking at my sister inthe car and us singing that song

I remember sitting around thecampfire when we'd go camping
all the time and it would comeon and my dad in his deep voice

Jay Franze (46:47):
Start at number 10 and just don't throw in a death
dedication.
Have you heard that?
No, casey Kasem, that was a bigthing.
That was a viral moment, if anymoment was ever viral.
He was reading the countdownand they put in a death
dedication as he was coming outof a like a upbeat song or

(47:11):
something like that, and he losthis mind.
He went off on the producer andthe people saying you don't put
a death dedication after anupbeat song, and he just went
nuts.

That makes me think of Delilah.

Tony Scott (47:24):

We gave her a Delilah Duadedication.
Now you know, cat's out of thebag.
It wasn't that special.
Okay, number 10.
Bailey Zimmerman backup planand I did check this one out

This one was stuck in my headbefore we started talking about

song that's stuck in my head.
Number nine thomas after all.

Jay Franze (48:29):
The bars are closed yeah, also a good one.
I would say, I like Backup Planbetter.
So if this is a top 10 list, Iwould rather see it the other
way around.

Okay, okay, I agree.
I would say I like the BaileyZimmerman song better.

Jay Franze (48:45):
Maybe Bailey is on the move, because wasn't he?
Out of the top 10 last week.

Then we're going to go down tonumber seven, tyler Hubbard.

Jay Franze (49:40):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's go back to Luke Bryan fora second.
Luke Bryan they were talkingabout him today on the radio
about how good he is and hownice he is and all this stuff.
But I thought it was nice tohear that the industry seems to
really like him and put him kindof not on a pedestal, but they
kind of look up to him.

So I thought that was nice for him.
I guess he was having fun withthe crowd at one of his
performances and talking aboutall the things about riley green
and how to imitate to be justlike riley green, because that's
what all the girls want rightnow he is a jokester, I'll give
it to him oh yeah, oh yeah.
I'd love to listen to any ofhis interviews because he was
funny yeah he's a nice guy, he'sa good old boy.

Jay Franze (50:17):
Yeah, all right, sorry, all right.
Number six Nate Smith.

Number seven, tyler Hubbard, the song Park.
I don't really know it.

Tony Scott (50:25):

That's why you moved over it.

Jay Franze (50:32):
Got it.
I still think backup planbelongs above that.
I would agree with that, Ithink it should be above all
those.

So again he's climbing the charts.

Jay Franze (50:41):
Let's just give him some time.
I would hope that Luke Bryan'salso climbing too, okay.

Okay, well, I mean Country Song came on.
I don't know.
I mean whatever I feel like,anything that Luke does, it's
going to hit top five.

Jay Franze (50:53):

charts?

broken and she's coming alongand she's fixing what she didn't
break.
Love that.

Jay Franze (51:36):
I love that too.
I think of that all the time.
I want to find a girl to comein and fix what my wife's done
to me.

Tony Scott (51:41):
Oh.

Jay Franze (51:44):
Yeah, I really like that song so much.
She's sleeping right now.
It's okay, we don't have to lether in on my plan.
Okay, okay, fair, fair enoughif anyone out there would like
to come fix the problems thatshe created?

jfrenzy at jfrenzycom and he's the problem.
So she's the reason, all right.
Number five josh ross single.
Again, I love this song so much, so so good.
I love this song.

Jay Franze (52:16):
I agree.

Got a king-size bed, just missing a queen.
Okay.
Number four is Corey Kent.
This Heart, you know.
I mean I listened to it.
Okay, I don't.
It did nothing for me.

Jay Franze (52:31):
It must have done something for somebody.
It was number one last week.

I know Hannah was like oh, because I said I want
to check out a couple of thesesongs.
So we were playing them on ourway to Orlando and I was not
impressed with this.
I was like let's go back to theBailey Zimmerman song.
I liked it better.
So you know.

Jay Franze (52:50):
I like it better as well, but something said for
Corey.

Yes, and then we also had to obligatory listen to
what is now number three, samhunk country house.
I just love this song, just anarrow near, near, near, near,
near please don't do that againso I really love that song.
Number two, mr morgan wallen.
Just in case, this song.

(53:16):
How many people have fallen inlove but they don't want
themselves to fall all the way?
Just in case their former lovehas unrequited feelings that
they just must reunite with them.
I just love it.
I feel like that's so commonfor people they never fall all
the way.
Just in case.

Jay Franze (53:36):
That doesn't seem like a song that morgan wallen
would sing no, he doesn't seemlike that type of guy.

It's like a mismatch to me I would agree,
his persona does not say yeahbut you know, it says I throw
tvs out of the hotel window itwas a chair, but yes, well, tvs
in the 70s.

Jay Franze (53:56):
Talk to Zeppelin, they did it right.

Oh, there you go.

Jay Franze (54:07):
I know he's kind of got a bad boy reputation.

So I can't imagine him letting a lady get
hung up on him.
He's got a porn stash he doesOkay, and coming in at number
one.

Jay Franze (54:17):
Do I have a button for that?

You do.

Jay Franze (54:19):
Everybody wait for it.
It's going to be there, it'sgoing to be really good.

Number one Ella Langley.
Weren't for the Wind.
Weren't for the Wind.

Jay Franze (54:32):
Look at that Two buttons tonight, folks, you
didn't just get one, you got two.

I didn't just get one, you got two.

Jay Franze (54:40):
I don't want anybody to think that that was real
applause.

Okay, so there you have it.
Folks Tune in next week to seehow this chart changes.

Jay Franze (54:52):
And it will change All right.
Well, let's move on.
Let's do a little bit of ahardest spotlight tonight.
We mentioned Irene Kelley lastweek, so you did not know who it
was.

Tony Scott (55:05):
So I brought her back up.

Jay Franze (55:06):
This is somebody I knew years and years ago.
She's got a ton of albums out,but I asked her to listen to a
song called A Little Bluer Thanthat.
It's an older song but I stillthink it holds up.
She was always more of thatfolky singer-songwriter, guitar,
vocal stuff, even though she'sgot full band productions.
It just had a more rootsy typefeel to me and I like that type

(55:32):
of stuff.
So let's start with what.
What your thoughts were whenyou heard the song.

Well, I loved her voice, nice and clear and clear
.
Clear and clear, um, it did.
It definitely had a ninetiesfeel for me Also.
I don't know.
I know I loved a two-step, butwhen I heard that song man, I
just wanted to stand up andtwo-step.

Jay Franze (55:58):
I really liked it.
I cannot picture youtwo-stepping.

Oh my gosh, I love two-stepping.

Jay Franze (56:04):
I told Lucy I'm going to take her two-stepping.
Laurie's Roadhouse has linedancing lessons that's open up
to all ages.
Yeah, I got to find somewherearound here because, you know,
working at Texas Roadhouse hasline dancing lessons that's open
up to all ages.

Yeah, I got to find somewhere around here
because, you know, working atTexas Roadhouse we did a ton of
line dances.
That's right.
And yeah, now you sent me that10 things you didn't know about
Texas Roadhouse and one of themwas that people had to come in
and learn the line dances andthey got paid for that time, and
that is really true.
So I knew I don't know themanymore, but I knew a ton of

(56:34):
line dances.
Yeah, but no, I just greatvoice, like I just said.
That's what just really sticksto me is just clear, just a
beautiful voice.
I loved it.
I mean, it started out you werelike listen to this, and I was
like okay, and so I startedlistening and I was like, okay,
I like it.
And then I was like, no, I lovethis.
And I was like I love this.
Like how many times I tell youthat it was really good?

(56:55):
You guys should go check it out.

Jay Franze (56:56):
She does have a beautiful voice.
It's very emotional.
It's got a almost like abittersweet feel to it.

Yes.

Jay Franze (57:05):
I think the production was understated.
It was a pretty raw productionlike not fully produced.

I think that's why her voice stands out so much
.
Do you think yeah, and she'salso a big songwriter.

Jay Franze (57:20):
She's written songs with Billy Yates oh wow.
I haven't talked to her in along time, but when I talked to
Billy Yates he mentioned her insome of the songs that he wrote,
so it might be a good time tobring her on and talk to her.

Tony Scott (57:36):
But her voice is amazing.

Jay Franze (57:38):
Like I said, the music, the production is very
good.
It's a really good production,especially for a production
that's as old as it is.
It still stands the test oftime.
If that was on the radio todayI would still think it would fit
in good If that was on theradio today.
I would still think it wouldfit in good, but I think,
between her voice and theproduction, it gave room for the
song to breathe and allowed theemotion to come through.

Agreed, yeah, yeah, I was impressed.

Jay Franze (58:04):
It's soft, it's reflective.
It's a good feel to me.
The hook is good.

Yeah, I like that hook is good.

Jay Franze (58:13):
Yeah, I like that I like it.

Yeah, I didn't get to dig into the words very
much, so, whoop, I'm not on thatscreen anymore.
I can't fire you I was going tofire you.
I have to revisit.

Jay Franze (58:24):
I won't fire you today.

Thank you, all right, I appreciate that.

Jay Franze (58:29):
She is an artist, but she's known for being a
songwriter.
She's a really good songwriter,very cool.
What do you got going?

on this week my friend Gosh I have such a dull
life this week.
Little Hannah Banana she's gone.
She's with a friend, she'shanging out in Orlando.
So there's that, the Link UpLounge.
We have a new episode out everyTuesday that helps people with
networking.
For swingers and nope.

Jay Franze (59:01):
I'll stop saying that one day.

Nope.
I like the idea of, you know,networking for swingers.
Well, it's not.
It's for business professionals, and how they can maximize
their time when they arenetworking, which can be, you
know, overwhelming orintimidating.

Jay Franze (59:23):
I'm saying swingers can be professionals that need
to network as well.

I am not discriminating.
Swingers can certainly network.

Jay Franze (59:32):
Can they join your group?

They can join our group, but it's just not only
for swingers.

Jay Franze (59:38):
Yeah, we do not discriminate.

We also do not point out specific demographics.

Jay Franze (59:45):
But what if they came to your group wanting to
network, to find other swingers?

They would not find anybody to network with.

Jay Franze (59:55):
You don't know, that You'd be surprised.

Yeah, it's a world I'm very unfamiliar with,
although there is a rumor thatdown here in Florida, in my neck
of the woods, if you go to thesecond aisle of Publix with a
pineapple upside down in yourshopping cart, that is the
symbol of the swinger.
The upside down pineapple.

Jay Franze (01:00:18):
Yeah, you see it on floor mats at houses or hanging
on the door.
Yeah, that is the known symbol,for sure.
I went to a really, really niceneighborhood in Nashville when
we took the kidstrick-or-treating through the
nice neighborhood in Nashvillewhen we took the kids
trick-or-treating through thenice neighborhood.

Tony Scott (01:00:34):
And there was a house or two with the
upside-down pineapple.

But Nashville had a swingers club.

Tiffany Mason (01:00:43):
Oh.

I've never been to it.

Like swing dancing.

Yeah, sure no.

So, speaking of, you know when you tell your
spouse that you're gonna be adancer, and then you guys get
married and then you don't danceanymore.
Um, yeah, um.
I bought a vhs set to learn howto swing dance and my husband
and I tried and we fought.

(01:01:11):
We did not learn how to dance.
It actually made us argue witheach other.
We dropped the option oflearning how to swing dance
because there was a move wherehe was supposed to be like
swinging around his back and wefought over how you were
supposed to do it.
So it was supposed to be thisbonding thing yeah my wife and I

(01:01:36):
.

We do not do activities to bond with each
other because we will kill eachother.
Okay, I mean she is a strong,strong woman when it comes to
that stuff.
She will not budge.
She wants to be right, shewants to win every game.
I mean we play chutes andladders with the kids and she

(01:01:57):
fights to win.

There's no mercy, no mercy, candyland, forget it.
My husband's Uncle Bob was likethat, so if anybody plays like
that, we call them Uncle Bob, mywife's Uncle Bob.
It sounds like it.

Well, let me tell you what I did this week.
Please I interviewed agentleman named Jason Chapin.

Yeah, and next time I expect a reminder so that
I will attend.
No, you had your reminder.
I am the boss of you.
I like that.
Say that again.

You had your reminder.
I am the boss of you.
I like that.

Say that again, let me clip that.
And I expect a reminder that Iam supposed to show up somewhere
.

So to be fair, if I was the boss of you, you should
be the one giving the reminders.

But nonetheless it was.

Monday night by myself, all by my onesies, I
interviewed Jason Chapin, who isHarry Chapin's son.
So that was very cool.
So bummed out.
He came on the show becausethere's a new documentary coming
out about his dad that he waspart of the production team and
they put this together.
It's going to be out inNovember.

(01:03:09):
We went through the whole thing, from everything about his dad
from the start to the finish ofhis career, but also the start
and finish of the documentaryand his role in the documentary
and how it came about and why itcame about, and what they hope
to get out of releasing thedocumentary.
They hope to shed light on thecharities and the organizations

(01:03:30):
that he would promote.
As an artist, he was big ondoing benefit shows and what I
didn't realize is he died veryyoung.
He died at 38 and his careerstarted very late.
So, as successful as he was.
It was a very short window oftime.
It was like in his early 30s hebecame successful and he passed

(01:03:51):
away in his late 30s.
So anyways, bruce Tarlecki fromthe High Mountain Breezes he's
been on the show a couple oftimes.
We've had an opportunity totalk to him as well.
He is the one who made theconnection to Jason Chapman,
because they're covering one ofHarry's songs.

Oh cool.

I don't know anything else.
Oh, you know what exciting Igot another exciting one for you
.

Oh, I know you do .

You know what I did last night?
Oh, uh-huh, you were goingsomewhere else.
I don't know where you weregoing.
But remember that thoughtbecause I want to know.
But last night I worked thePantera show.

Ah Fun.

There you go.
That was exciting.
Pantera, a rock band.

Yeah.

You know them, of course.

A band you might have heard of.

Anyways, it was interesting, it was fun, it was
a good night.
Yeah, the guy that I wasassigned to was very nice.
His wife was very nice.
His wife is following the show.
She's listening tonight.

Hello, oh heyo.

There you go.
Anyways, what did you think Iwas going to say?

Well, something very exciting in your life is
your daughter Bella gettingBowie.

Oh yes, bowie, service dog.
My daughter, yeah, she has beenin search of a service dog for
quite some time now and shefinally found one.
She went to Virginia with mywife to pick up such said
service dog.
She was nervous because itwasn't a guarantee that she was
going to get it.
They bring you there andintroduce you to the dog and

(01:05:34):
make sure that the dog iswilling to bond with you.
Oh, wow, if that dog doesn'ttake to you.
They will not give it to you.

Oh, interesting.
How do they know if the dog hasbonded with you?

I guess if it walks up to you and looks your face or
something.
But yeah, the dog has to be.
I'm learning an awful lot aboutthese dogs.
But the dog has to have acertain amount of training
ability, because being a servicedog is a step above your
typical average dog.
So they have to meet a certaintraining requirement, then it

(01:06:05):
has to like the person, then youhave to take it for a
specialized training, which isabout $20,000.

Whoa.

Now the dog dog was $5,000 just for the dog, that's
the most expensive pet ever.

Yeah.

So, anyways, the dog was about $5,000 and the
training is between $20,000 and$25,000.
Holy smokes so it's a littleless than we expected.
They told us it was going to be35.
I guess it is 35 once youinclude all of the incidentals.
You got to pay for all the vetfees and all that type of stuff
yeah, yeah buy all the supplies.

(01:06:47):
They have very specific list ofsupplies, but yes so bella got
a service dog.
If you choose to follow her onTikTok or the YouTube, she now
has a YouTube channel you canlearn all about her and the dog.

Very cool.
Well, welcome home, Bowie.

And then next week girls, they want to have fun.
Oh, Cindy Lauper, saying youcould have been here.

I know.

Rocky Rose.
Thank you for the tickets.
So she said she's going to comeback on the show too yay good
excited to have her back.
It's been a while she hasn'tbeen on the show for, I think
like three years it's time it'sbeen a little, while she's done
a lot in those three years.

Got a lot of catching up to do.

There you go.
All right, should we land it?

Let's land, it Should we crash it.
