Nashville's legendary CMA Fest vibrates through this episode as Jay and Tiffany take you behind closed doors of country music's biggest gathering. Far more than just concerts and fan experiences, we unpack the fascinating ecosystem that forms when hundreds of thousands descend on Music City.

Walking Broadway's musical gauntlet creates a sensory experience like no other—stepping from one bar to the next delivers an entirely new soundscape, with multiple performances happening simultaneously across different levels of each venue. But beyond the tourist appeal lies the real magic: the networking, the connections made, and the stories that unfold when industry professionals who typically collaborate digitally finally meet face-to-face.

We share our candid personal highlights, from impromptu boob-signing adventures to meeting music legends like Lee Greenwood, whose dedication to listening to every veteran's story extends his meet-and-greets by hours. These moments of authenticity reveal the heart behind the glitz. Meanwhile, our exploration of Morgan Wallen's record-breaking chart domination—with 36 of 37 tracks charting simultaneously—leads us to examine how streaming has fundamentally reshaped album creation and consumption.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as we debate dream artist meetups (is Elvis still alive?), examine the potential of podcast influence on politics through Mark Maron's iconic garage recordings, and contemplate how Eminem's evolution into grandparenthood makes us all feel suddenly ancient. We even discover life-changing culinary wisdom with salt and pepper on french fries—proving that sometimes the smallest revelations create the most lasting impressions.

Whether you're curious about country music's beating heart, fascinated by entertainment industry mechanics, or simply love genuine conversation that ranges from heartfelt to hilarious, this episode delivers unique insights you won't find in mainstream coverage.

All right, my friend, before weget started, let's talk about
the question of the day.
Question of the day If youcould meet any artist or band,

If you could meet any artist orband, who would it be?
Miss Tiffany, do not answer now.

(01:33):
So if you'd like to go ahead andput your responses into the
comment section, we will goahead and read those a little
later in the day.
All right, let's go ahead andstart off our day with CMA Fest.

Tiffany Mason (01:47):
And what is CMA Fest Jay?

Jay Franze (01:50):
CMA Fest is a festival in downtown Nashville
where artists perform, they gettogether, they sign autographs,
there's meet and greets, there'smedia days just a time for
people to get together andnetwork as a whole and for fans
to come down and not only get tosee their favorite artists
perform but they get a chance tomeet them.

(02:11):
We actually had an opportunityto go this year, so we got to
witness it firsthand.
The hundreds of thousands ofpeople in downtown Nashville and
when I say hundreds ofthousands of people, that is not
an exaggeration.
There were a lot of people indowntown Nashville, and when I
say hundreds of thousands ofpeople, that is not an
exaggeration.
There were a lot of people indowntown Nashville but, there
were free concerts.

(02:32):
There were also, you know, paidconcerts, if you want to go to
the big one in Nissan Stadiumyou know you had to pay a little
bit of money to go there, butif you went to the ones in
Nissan Stadium, you would get achance to see artists like
Noahahn Jelly Roll, trace Atkinsso there's quite a bit of
people there.
You could have seen some of thebig wigs, and then you had some
of the smaller stages, whichalso had some fairly you know

(02:55):
decent people there as well.
However, we had a chance to go.
So now we did a little less ofthe shows and a little bit more
of the networking and meetinggreets and those type of things,
because well, that's our placein this big giant cog of
Nashville is the meet and greetsand the networking and the PR

(03:17):
firms and meeting the artistsand so on.
So we had a good time.
What was your favorite part ofCMA Fest?

Tiffany Mason (03:26):
Well, we actually brought our daughters with us
and it was so sweet.
I felt like just to see theirfriendship unfold and just to
have Hannah experience Nashvilleshe's never been before and
just all the people.
And my favorite thing aboutNashville on Broadway anyway, I
just love that.
You like, take two steps andyou hear one song, and you take

(03:48):
two more steps and you hear adifferent bar that has different
music coming out of it.
And if you go into the bars, onlevel one, there's one
performance going on.
On level two, there's anotherperformance going on.
On level three, there's anotherperformance going on.
So that was really fun.
Just seeing all the differentlevels of talent was really cool
too, like people who were justtrying to figure out how to, you

(04:11):
know, break through it intoeven trying to be on the
Nashville scene.
To people that were, you know,singing on the stages.
Maybe they have a little bitmore popularity or maybe their
PR firm is just better.
Yeah, and there were somebigger stages than other stages,
so that was really cool.
And I mean the sightseeing,come on, the people watching.

(04:33):
Nothing better, nothing better.
We saw some very interestingsigns from people.

Jay Franze (04:39):
Tell us about those.

Tiffany Mason (04:41):
No.

Jay Franze (04:44):
Some of them were very descriptive were very
descriptive.

Tiffany Mason (04:48):
Yes, um, I'm trying to think of the other one
, but I can't think of arenabecause the really bad one is,
you know, clouding my memory.
So but yeah, no, I just, I meanit's, it's just an experience
right for all the senses, sojust really awesome.
What was your favorite part,jay?

Jay Franze (05:06):
All right, my favorite part I'm, um, you know,
I'm what you might call aworkaholic, so I liked meeting
all the people that we work withthroughout the year.
So a lot of the work we dothese days is virtual, so I like
the fact that we can meet withthe people in person, shake
hands, maybe even give a littlehug or get to talk to each other

(05:30):
one-on-one and those type ofthings.
That was probably my favoritepart getting to see the people
behind the PR firms that we workwith.

Tiffany Mason (05:35):
Yeah.

Jay Franze (05:36):
Getting to see some of their newer artists that we
haven't had a chance to talk toyet.
So we get to talk to somepeople and look forward to them
coming on the show to talk toyet.
So we get to talk to somepeople and look forward to them
coming on the show and then getto meet the ones that we have,
you know, had on the show beforebut just haven't had a chance
to meet in person, or some ofthe ones that we haven't had a
chance to actually go see playlive.
So that was probably my favoritepart.

(05:56):
My least favorite part was howsore my legs are from walking
around on cement floors forthree days or four days, so
that's probably my leastfavorite.

Tiffany Mason (06:06):
I was thinking about it after the fact.
So Saturday night we decided itwas kind of not like super
early, but maybe it was like 8o'clock and we were heading back
and I was like I don't wantthis night to end yet.
So then there were people likeI guess I didn't realize it was
a whole entire walkway forpeople just to get across the

(06:27):
river and so we started up that.
And then you were like this wasnot the right day to wear these
shoes.
And after the fact I'm like, ohmy gosh, he was telling me his
feet hurt and I was like, comeon, jay, come on, let's keep
going.
And you're probably like I'mgoing to kill this woman.

Jay Franze (06:45):
You're so good to me .
Yeah, there's a pedestrianbridge that goes over the river
in Nashville and takes you fromdowntown Nashville over to
Nissan Stadium.
One of the cool things is, onceyou get high enough on there,
not only can you overlook thecity, but you can overlook the
stadium.
You can see all the people inthe stadium.
You probably can't really seethe stage, but you can at least
hear the music.

Tiffany Mason (07:05):
Yeah, stadium, you probably can't really see
the stage, but you can at leasthear the music.

Jay Franze (07:08):
Yeah, and that was pretty cool.
But yes, there's a lot ofwalking to get up to the top of
that bridge and you know, doingthat in shoes or boots not
comfortable I did look up tipsfor attending cma fest and they
said, while cowboy boots looknice, they are not for a full
day of walking.

Tiffany Mason (07:24):
And I couldn't stop thinking about it when I
saw everybody.
And then Bella mentionedsomeone had told her that you
only dress up like a cowgirl,cowboy, whatever, if you're a
tourist.
And so I was like, oh, we got alot of tourists and they're all
all their feet hurt.

Jay Franze (07:43):
Well, yeah, I mean, I lived in Nashville for 20
years and typically, unlessyou're an artist getting ready
to perform, most people are notwalking around in cowboy boots
and hats and stuff.

Tiffany Mason (07:54):
No, and I am like hardcore in mom mode, so I wear
my Birkenstocks and my Vionicflip-flops and I had all kinds
of orthopedic support and sheercomfort.

Jay Franze (08:07):
This is why nobody talked to us.
It's all starting to make sensenow.

Tiffany Mason (08:13):
Like Hannah would say, my dogs were out, okay,
but no, I thought it was a greatevent.

Jay Franze (08:20):
Tell me about some of the people that you had a
chance to meet.

Tiffany Mason (08:24):
Who did you?

Jay Franze (08:24):
enjoy meeting.

Tiffany Mason (08:26):
I personally really liked seeing Grayson
Russell Most, because which he'snot going to want me to say
this, but when I talked to him Ican see that little kid in
Talladega Nights talking aboutgetting hopped up on Mountain
Dew and how he's going to punchhis grandpa or take his grandpa
out or whatever.
So that was really funny for me.
I mean, the iconic LeeGreenwood was there.

(08:47):
I couldn't even believe it.
And then we were looking forhim and we thought he was at one
area or whatever.
And then we found out he was ina different area.
So we busted over there, tryingto get there as quickly as we
could, and when we got there thelady was like, oh, the line is
closed, but this nice guy let mein front of him.
His name was literally not evenmaking it up John Smith, and so

(09:09):
he let me in front of him.
And he's actually a Navyveteran.
Shout out to John Smith.
I told him to start listeningto our show.
He's not a podcast listener,but I did show him on his phone
where the podcast app is and howto find the Jay Franzi show so
he could definitely tune in.
And then I had the most awesomelady in front of me and her name
was Ruby and she had been amusic teacher and an art teacher

(09:32):
.
And what was so cool about thatis when we were waiting in line
for Lee Greenwood, there wereall of these guitars that had
been turned into art and I waslike, oh my gosh, it's your two
worlds colliding.
And she was just amazing.
She actually had passes to allfour nights in the Nissan
stadium, because two or threeyears ago she actually beat
breast cancer and so they didn'treally get to do anything like

(09:55):
you know.
You know, hooray, that you beatcancer, and so that was kind of
her husband's way.
On their anniversary he giftedthem to her and so they were
attending every single night atthe nissan stadium for all the
big acts, and she has just seenso many concerts.
And also she shared a couple ofstories of the line was long,

(10:15):
you guys.
Um, she also shared a couple ofstories how they would, uh, hang
out like after a concert likeforever, and then the bands
would come out to their tourbuses.
She was listing off all kindsof bands that she's hung out
with, because her and herhusband just hung out after the
show and they'd come out and say, hey, you want to come on the
bus with us, and so she'd hangout with them.

(10:36):
So it was really super funbeing in line with ruby.
I just I, I loved waiting inline for lee greenwood, and then
I got to tell Lee Greenwoodabout how God Bless the USA is
my favorite song in the wholeentire world, and so that was
kind of cool.
I will say, though, he lookedso tired and I can only imagine
at his age sitting there.

(10:57):
I mean, he extended his time,was it by an hour?
I think he was supposed to onlybe there for half an hour, I
think he was there for an bethere for half an hour.

Jay Franze (11:04):
I think.

Tiffany Mason (11:04):
He was supposed to be there till 4 30 and he
stayed till five is when theyclosed and then he stayed longer
to finish the line yeah, I wasthe second to last and I was
there at 5 30 so that was prettycool.
I thanked him, of course, fordoing that and you know it was
really cool the guy that waslike attending the line or
whatever he said, you know it'sreally cool Lee will listen to
any veterans story.
So, however long that makes theline, however long that makes

(11:28):
the weight, he will listen toevery single story that any
veteran wants to tell him.
So I thought that that wasreally cool to just.
I already think he's a standupguy, so you know, that just
sealed the deal for me.
And then, of course, I got myshirt signed and you guys, I
chose a CMA shirt that had achick riding a bull.

Jay Franze (11:49):
You want to know why .
Why, jay?
I don't know, tell us you don'tknow why.

Tiffany Mason (11:52):
You know why I know why so I get up to the top
of the escalator, my daughterand I arrive and I was like so
nervous because I never met jayin person.

Jay Franze (12:00):
Y'all okay so it's something to be nervous about
for sure, so I was like, oh mygosh, oh my gosh.

Tiffany Mason (12:07):
And then, like I couldn't even help myself, I
just gave you a big old hug andI was like, yay, we made it.
So then we get scanned in andwe get into the main arena or
venue or floor or whatever youwant to call it room, and um,
we're barely there and Chase,like you should do, riding the
bull, and I was like, whatever,I'm in.

Jay Franze (12:29):
So you got a bull riding t-shirt.
I did, I did, yeah, and thenyou had Lee Greenwood sign your
boob and then you call them yeah, got it.

Tiffany Mason (12:39):
Yeah, it's all.
Yeah, all the puzzle pieces arefalling in place.
He signed my sleeve and I'm soannoyed because I flattened it
out, like you know, like when ithangs on a hanger and it gets a
crease down the dead center Iflattened it out and open it up
a little bit.
I open it up mostly towards theback, so the signature is on
the back of the sleeve Like dangit, rookie mistake.

(13:01):
See, that's why you got to wearit and have somebody sign your
boob.
Yeah, who signed your boob?
Jay?

Jay Franze (13:09):
good friend of mine, scarlet yeah, tell us about it
it was fun, my favorite piece ofthe entire thing.
It is the saddest thing in theworld to me, but we go, we get
to meet all the artists, say hiand take pictures and all the
fun stuff.
However, we were going by oneperson that we did not know, an
artist that was an up and comingartist that we were not

(13:31):
familiar with.
She will be on the show in thefuture because we made that
connection.
However, at the time we did notknow, and the PR firm taking
care of the crowd and makingsure everyone's going through
the lines asked us if we wantedto go and get an autograph and
said would you like a picture?
And I said absolutely so.

(13:52):
I pulled out my phone and heldit up and took a selfie with her
and that caught her off guard.
Like she goes, I wasn't talkingabout me, I was talking about
the artist, and it was an artistthat didn't have anybody in
line, so I mean literally therewas nobody there.
So it was an artist that didn'thave anybody in line, so I mean
literally there was nobodythere.
So I felt bad.
I wanted to make sure that Italked to the artist, but I
wanted to also joke and be funnywith the girl, so she wanted to
take the picture.
I took the selfie and then shesaid no, no, she goes.

(14:13):
If you want a picture, you cango get an autograph.

Tony Scott (14:18):
I said sure, give me a picture and I'll take an.

Jay Franze (14:21):
Okay, I said, well, but first you got to sign for me
, you got to give me yourautograph.
And she said I don't haveanything to sign.
So I did, I opened up my shirtand I said here and I, you know,
let her sign my boob, and shegoes, I don't have anything to
sign with.
So I went up to the artist andI actually took the Sharpie from
the artist to give to her andshe did signed my boob and we
took a picture together and then, when it was all over, I did go

(14:43):
up and talk to the artist andtake a picture and everything
with her as well.
Out of all the people we've metand all the things we did, that
was probably the moment that Iremember the most that lady had
the sweetest mississippi accenttoo.

Tiffany Mason (14:58):
Yes, that lady was sydney.
Mack is who she was promoting.

Jay Franze (15:01):
Oh yeah, that's the artist.
Yeah, that was the artist.
So she was promoting oh yeah,that's the artist.

Tiffany Mason (15:03):
Yeah, that was the artist.
So she was promoting Sydney Macbut, yeah, totally caught her
off guard and it was so sweetand she was so excited.
And then her kids actually cameup and she was like you guys,
look what.

Jay Franze (15:15):
I just did.
You gotta see this.
That was the best thing.
Then we connected on socialmedia and now she's my new best
friend.
Look, new best friend, look atthat.
Look at that.
There you go.
What I thought was funny is allthe people who were in the
streets of nashville takingselfies and talking to their
phone with no shame in theirgame at all, just walking up and

(15:36):
down the street just holdingselfie sticks, dancing and
singing or talking to theirsocial media like it was nothing
.
Now, that is not something thatI would want to do.
I would not want to walk up anddown Broadway just filming
myself talking.
It's just odd, just very odd.
The entire street was full ofpeople doing that, and then

(15:56):
there was selfie stations.

Tiffany Mason (15:57):
That's so weird.
I did not notice that at all,not one time.

Jay Franze (16:05):
You participated in it, so you can't tell me you
didn't notice it.
You took photos of yourself atthe selfie stations.

Tiffany Mason (16:14):
Yeah, that's fine .
I know it's about selfies, butlike talking to their phone and
stuff.

Jay Franze (16:19):
Oh no, they did.
I mean, even my daughter did it.
Oh, yeah, I know, yeah, I meanfor those who don't know, my
daughter does sign languagecover tunes and she puts them up
on TikTok, so of course we'rein Nashville.
She had to do a country signlanguage video, so I'll put the
link in the show notes ifanybody wants to check it out.

Tiffany Mason (16:38):
I had a fourth grade teacher teach us sign
language.
She had a deaf student at onepoint and so she taught every
fourth grade class that camethrough how to do sign language.
Thank you, Mrs Patterson.
So I still remember the entirealphabet.
I know a few words, but it wasreally fun to pick her brain,
and then we had some jokes goingwith some sign language
throughout the trip.

(16:59):
So that was really fun too.
It was cool.

Jay Franze (17:01):
I mean, and I will tell you too, my daughter was
most impressed, not with theartists, she was most impressed
with the sign languageinterpreter that was
interpreting the shows.
So we saw Tricia Yearwood andthere was an interpreter on the
side of the stage just doing herjob and my daughter sat there

(17:21):
and watched the whole thing andthen, when it was over, we went
up and she made a new connection, new friends, and now she's got
somebody in that world to talkto.

Tony Scott (17:31):
Yeah, very cool.

Jay Franze (17:33):
All right, my friend , would you like to move on to
some country news?

Tiffany Mason (17:39):
I would, and I think we'll get the sad news out
of the way first.
Does that sound fair?
Fair enough would, and I thinkwe'll get the sad news out of
the way first.
Does that sound fair?
Fair enough?
Unfortunately, mr connor smith,who is only 24.
He tragically struck apedestrian that was on a marked
crosswalk and police arereporting that there are no
signs of impairment and thatconnor is he's cooperating it

(18:02):
appears to have been inaccidents.
There's so many people there andyou know it was so sad too, I
think, a couple of dramaticthings that I that stuck with me
from the trip was you sayingthat those barricades are so
that people can't drive into thecrowds?
Yeah, which is so pathetic andsad that that's what it's come

(18:24):
to.

Jay Franze (18:25):
Yeah, they put those at the beginning and end of
each block so that if somebodywere to want to try to do that,
they wouldn't be able to.
But let's just reiterate thatit appears that this was purely
an accident.
It was just hundreds ofthousands of people on the
street and, as he was driving by, ended up hitting somebody on a
crosswalk.
So it's very sad not only forthe person that he hits that

(18:53):
unfortunately passed away, butalso for a young man to have to.
He's going to have to live withthat for the rest of his life
now.

Tiffany Mason (19:01):
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Well, on to more excitingthings, or more happy things.
Rootsy singer-songwriter TylerChildress is set to release a
new album produced by legendaryRick Rubin.
The project promises freshmaterial and a creative pivot
from his recent self-producedwork.

(19:22):
Nice, I like that, I suppose ifyou've got Rick Rubin on your
side, probably going to beslightly better than your
self-produced stuff.

Jay Franze (19:32):
He is a very well-known producer.
He's a different type ofproducer.
He's a producer that seems togo purely on feeling.
He's not a technical producer hedoesn't come across as a
musical producer.
He is known for either sittingor, in some cases, he'll just
lay on the couch in the back oron a windowsill.

(19:53):
So it's it's all about feel forhim, and he, I'm sure, is
guiding people down a directionto get to something that makes
him feel something.
And if it makes him feelsomething, then the goal is that
it'll make other people feelsomething.
But he is not the type ofproducer who's going to sit
there and musically guide you orhelp you or try to make things

(20:15):
extremely polished, as we'vetalked about with, say, Mud.
Lang, or even Dan Huff so he's adifferent style of producer,
and that's the thing that I likemost about being an engineer is
getting to work with all ofthese different styles of
producers.
Not every producer will producea record the same way, so you
get to learn different tips andtricks from all of these people.

(20:35):
And then you develop your ownstyle.
So when you do a project ofyour own, then it's like
anything else you adapt what youlike and then you let go of the
things you don't like.

Tiffany Mason (20:47):
So if he's just like laying there listening to
it and you said that he doesn'treally give any direction like
what is he doing?

Jay Franze (20:59):
He's telling you when something moves him is
pretty much what he's doing.
Yeah, I like this or I don'tlike that he's giving direction.

Tiffany Mason (21:06):
It's like a perfect scenario for a
co-producer.

Jay Franze (21:09):
Yeah, no, that would be a great thing.
We've talked about having twoproducers in the past.
And when I work with anotherproducer, like, for example,
I've done a lot of projects withJim Cristaldi.
Jim Cristaldi is one of thebest musicians I've ever met in
my life.
He's a great songwriter, he's agreat musician.
He's had a couple albums out.
I mean, he is just reallytalented.
But we're two different typesof mindsets.

(21:31):
I'm very technical and I wantto make sure that we go in and
get the best sound we can and weuse the best equipment, go
through the best preamps, thebest consoles, all of the
different things.
Where Jim is a performer, heplays instruments.
So we work very well togetherbecause neither one of us are
good at the other person's job.

(21:51):
Together we make one very goodproducer.

Tiffany Mason (21:54):
It's very collaborative, like our friend
Post Malone.

Jay Franze (21:58):
Co as in collaborative.

Tiffany Mason (22:01):
Yes, Well, speaking of somebody who likes
to collaborate a lot, morganWallen's album I'm the Problem.
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah, sorry, debuted at numberone on.
Well, if I'm the problem, youmight be the reason.

Jay Franze (22:18):
Fair enough.

Tiffany Mason (22:22):
All right, All right, Okay.
So the album I'm the Problemdebuted at number one on the
Billboard 200 with arecord-breaking 493,000 album
equivalent units in its firstweek and 36 of its 37 tracks
charting on the Hot CountrySongs chart simultaneously.

Jay Franze (22:43):
That's a whole different world to me when you
get, when you get songs chartingsimultaneously, you know you
used to release a single and youused to go do radio tours and
tour the country, even tour theworld in some cases to promote
that single.
Now no, we'll just put them allup online at one time and
everybody will listen to thewhole album and all the songs
chart.

(23:03):
That's crazy.
So I mean, that's exactlywhat's happening.
I mean he puts an album say 10,12 songs up online and then
people will just play the albumover and over and over again.
So every single song is beingplayed over and over and over
again.
So they're all charting.

Tiffany Mason (23:21):
Okay.
So this is what I will sayabout that.
When I hear you talk about sidea or side b or like that whole
album was great or whateverright, I mean sometimes I'm in
the dark.
I know you're surprised, butsometimes in the dark and I'm
like I don't know.
I only knew the three popularsongs by that band and it does
make me a little bit jealous.

(23:42):
So I think it's veryinteresting that hannah is
recently really into morganwallen and so she plays the
entire album and I was like,wait a minute, this is genius.
So there's no longer side a,side b, the whole album, but
there's just an album and youlisten to it.
Right, and I don't know whythis has been such a light bulb

(24:02):
thing for me.
But I'm like I I'm going tostart doing that.
I'm just going to find out thesong that I like and what album
it's on, and I'm going to listento all the songs on the album.
So, while it's kind of blowingyour mind a little bit in that
respect that like they're alljust simultaneously on the
charts, you know I'm thinkinglike right, we should respect
the entire album, because it'ssuch a shame that all those

(24:25):
albums came out and only theones on the radio are the ones
that I know.
I don't know the full albums.
So I think that this is a morefair exposure of their
collective art the whole album.
I think that's how we should beconsuming it.

Jay Franze (24:41):
Well, in the past, people would write an album.
It's different now, where peoplewrite a song, because they'll
write multiple songs, allintended to be singles, and they
upload them one at a time, at atime, at a time, sure.
So rather than working a year tocreate an album, they record
one song and release it thismonth, record another song,

(25:01):
release it next month, and thatway they're always on top of
mind of their fan base, which isgreat, but they're all singles.
There's no connection to thosesongs when, when you used to go
into a studio and record analbum, you're capturing a moment
in time.
You're capturing what it waslike being in that studio, what
it was like experiencing thethings of that moment.

(25:24):
For example, some people wouldrent a house and just turn that
house into a studio and then,when you're writing with the
intent for it to be an album,you write on more of that
rollercoaster feel where youmight open up with a hard
hitting song and then maybe haveyour single next and then have
a slower song, and you kind ofjust keep repeating the pattern

(25:45):
and just keep things flowing,where, if you're just writing
singles, you're just trying towrite the next big hit right now
there's pluses and minuses.
You know.

Tiffany Mason (25:53):
If they're all truly good songs and good hits,
then you got no duds and maybeyou have a catalog of great
songs I feel like what you'resaying is like the albums used
to be almost like mini timecapsules, right, like we're
going to sit down, we're goingto create this album, we're all
going to really work hard andfocus and like, okay, we wrote a

(26:13):
song about love.
Now how does that song, youknow, connect with this next
song we want to put on the album?
So I think that's kind of cool.
Just the I guess maybemethodology behind creating the
songs.

Jay Franze (26:25):
Well, yeah, and things kind of feel cohesive
because you rent a studio andyou're using the same studio,
which a room itself hascharacteristics to it and adds
to the way something sounds.
So if you record everything inthe same room, then all those 10
or 12 songs are going to soundsimilar.
And if you use the sameinstruments.

(26:45):
Maybe you get a B3, and that B3is going to sound the same on
those 10 songs where you mightuse a B3 on all 10 of your songs
, when they're done as singles,and they'll all sound
differently.
So when you're recording analbum all in the same place at
the same time, there's a goodchance things will sound very

(27:06):
consistent you might say, well,there's less variety when you do
it that way.
But I feel like, like youmentioned the time capsule, I
feel like you're capturingsomething as a whole when you do
it that way yeah, yeah, I likethat theory or that idea.

Tiffany Mason (27:20):
All right, well, time capsule for miley cy 2013.
She made that stupid videowrecking ball and she thought it
was a good idea to be naked.
Then she twerked on stage withRobert.

Jay Franze (27:33):
Why are we calling it a stupid video if she's naked
?

Tiffany Mason (27:39):
Well, because it backfired on her.
She found that it was hard todate because of the potential
partners didn't like her sharingher sexual expression in the
world.

Jay Franze (27:50):
Yeah, I mean, I agree with that theory, you know
, don't get me wrong.
I think that that is the way itshould be.
However, people these days Ifeel like would not care about
that.

Tiffany Mason (28:02):
But 2013 was a different time 2013,.

Jay Franze (28:06):
yes, what are your thoughts on robin?
I think, am I blushing okay,tell you what you can have him.
I'll take miley.
Well, he's a little crazy, butit's like riding a bull.
Why don't we know?
He's pretty easy on the eyes.

Tiffany Mason (28:24):
Why don't we move on?
No, he's pretty easy on theeyes.
Why don't we move on?

Jay Franze (28:27):
before we get ourselves in trouble.
All right, let's move on to thequestion of the day.
And the question of the day isif you could meet one artist or
band, who would it be?
If you could meet one artist orband, who would it be?
All right, this came up in thesocials this week.

(28:47):
People started guessing who Imight pick and I found it
humorous, so it came down.
Tell me.

Tiffany Mason (28:56):
Tell me, yeah, give me like three or four
options.

Jay Franze (29:00):
I'm going to weigh in, I can give you two.

Tiffany Mason (29:02):
Oh, okay, two, Give me two.

Jay Franze (29:10):
It came down to Journey or Livy, newton John,
okay and yeah, that's the samereaction I had.

Tiffany Mason (29:15):
But then I got to say Journey.

Jay Franze (29:17):
I don't know.
I think I'd rather go withOlivia Newton-John.
I don't know.
I've met Journey and I didn'tmeet Steve Perry.
I met the rest of the band.
I met the rest of the band acouple of times and great people
love them to death nice, butI've never met Olivia
Newton-John.
I think I might like to meet aLibby Newton-John Because
originally I thought, well, it'dhave to be Lizzie.

Tony Scott (29:37):
Hale, but I've met.

Jay Franze (29:38):
Lizzie Hale.
So this would have to be to mesomebody different, right?

Tiffany Mason (29:43):
Somebody that I haven't met so I don't know,
good call, I might go with Libby.

Jay Franze (29:47):
Newton-John.

Tony Scott (29:49):
Not to mention Kreese, little blonde tart.

Jay Franze (29:53):
Kreese was the word, I'll take her I remember as a
kid my parents got tickets tosee her live when she came
through town on the let's getphysical tour or whatever they
called it okay, I wanted to goso bad and my parents said, no,
this is for adults only, they'renot taking any kids.
Blah, blah, blah.
And then they show up at myhouse to meet and one of them

(30:16):
had one of their kids with them.
I lost my mind.
But yes, I wanted to meetOlivia Newton-Jones.
I wanted to see her.
I'll admit it, I had all of herLPs and stuff.

Tiffany Mason (30:30):
Did they have passes to meet her?
No, oh yeah, so which one ofour crew members knew that about
you?

Jay Franze (30:37):
Two of them.

Tiffany Mason (30:39):
How, how, how did they know?

Jay Franze (30:41):
Because they're old as old as I am, and we grew up
together.
But the fact that they didchime in for this and it's to
bust my cookies on Olivia,newton-john and Journey, I
thought was pretty cool.
There you go.
That's pretty awesome, I wouldhave to say oh George, you're
lucky buddy, you're not firedtonight.

Tiffany Mason (31:00):
Oh, hey, George.

Jay Franze (31:03):
But yes, olivia Newton-John to me would be out
of those.
I think I would go that route.
Steve Perry, yes, but OliviaNewton-John, hell yes, all right
, how about?

Tiffany Mason (31:13):
you Got it.
I would have to probably sayAerosmith.
Because they're cool I meanjust cool Like, just because
they're cool, like a lot oftheir music, and so I don't know
.
I would be interested to askhim about their lifestyle and

(31:34):
how all that went down.
I don't know, I just feel likehe's one of those people who's
lived a fast and hard life and Ithink it'd be cool to meet him,
take a picture with him.

Jay Franze (31:46):
All right, I don't know.
I don't think I've ever met him.
I hear he's a very nice guy.
I've met the rest of them, butI've never met him.

Tiffany Mason (31:53):
I mean, I saw him on American Idol.
I can see he's a nice guy.
That's really who they areright, all right.

Jay Franze (32:03):
George is here.

Tiffany Mason (32:09):
George says, Presley Tennant.

Jay Franze (32:12):
Oh well, he kind of got to meet her.
George, you were in her hands.
Oh for those who?
Do not know which would beeverybody here.
We were in Nashville and wewent to a local what do you call
it?
Gift shop maybe?

Tiffany Mason (32:28):
Yeah.

Jay Franze (32:28):
Souvenir shop and they had license plates with
people's names on it.
So we looked and we found alicense plate with George's name
on it and we bought the licenseplate.

Tiffany Mason (32:37):
Well, I got to back you up just a little bit.
Hannah was looking for hers,and then you spotted George and
you're like, oh, there's George.
And I was like, oh, we have toget it.

Jay Franze (32:47):
Yeah, so we got a license plate for George and
then we decided we would takepictures of that license plate
everywhere we went.
So we did.
We took pictures of thatlicense plate everywhere we went
.
So we did.
We took pictures of it as fardown as McDonald's and we took
it throughout the event.
We had different people hold it, but one of the people I know,
george, likes Presley Tennant.
So we got Presley Tennant tohold the license plate for

(33:08):
George and we took a picture ofthat it can be seen on our
socials.
Actually, no, it can't, I needto put.

Tiffany Mason (33:14):
I'm working on a reel, I'm working on a reel.

Jay Franze (33:15):
We'll put the George reel together.

His last name is Mark.

Jay Franze (35:25):

thing is you could have theirstories.

Jay Franze (38:17):
Yeah, the Metallica thing is you could have a
therapist.
Anyway, jill Jill says I'llagree with Tiffany Elvis Presley

He had the charisma, the talent, like no one else.

Tiffany Mason (38:30):
Mm-hmm, and he'd have that sweet hunk-a-hunk-a
burning love voice.
Well, Tiffany, nice to meet you.

Jay Franze (38:47):
Yes, I am an impersonator.
On the weekends, these peopleare busting my cookies like
crazy tonight.
I'm just telling you that.

Tiffany Mason (38:52):
Let me hear it I want to bust your cookies.
No.

Jay Franze (38:57):
You can't, you're not allowed.
Rachel says oh, I'm likeTiffany, I like Fleetwood Mac.

Tiffany Mason (39:05):
Yes, that'd be another one that I think they've
lived a fully experienced life.
I bet they've got lots ofstories.

Jay Franze (39:16):
I hate you.
I just want to point that out.
You, chris, says Metallica.
Everybody's on Miss Tiffany'sside here.
Anybody want?

Tiffany Mason (39:30):

I have a taste of music.

Jay Franze (39:34):
Tina, I refuse to mention Refuse.
Yes, it means you will not doit.
No, tina, I refuse to mention Irefuse, yeah, refuse.

Tiffany Mason (39:39):
Refuse.
Yes, it means you will not doit.
I refuse to mention that.

Jay Franze (39:45):
No, oh fine.

Tiffany Mason (39:47):
Tell me she says Beyonce oh.

Jay Franze (39:53):
Oh, it's a.
She's a powerhouse and abrilliant businesswoman.

Tiffany Mason (39:57):
She is.
She has lots of businesses andshe probably has a lot to say
about like mindset and like umgosh trying to think of one of
her songs it's not coming to meright now but like female
empowerment, you know sheprobably has a lot to say about
like taking the bull by thehorns and you know, last week we

(40:19):
mentioned.

Jay Franze (40:19):
Don't include last names unless you want it read on
the air, because I'm bad atthat.
Rob says Johnny Cash.
He was the definition of rawand real.
Kyle says Radiohead.
Emily says Shania Twain.

Tiffany Mason (40:35):
You only got to work on a Johnny Cash project,
right, you didn't actually workwith him.

Jay Franze (40:38):
Yeah, I worked on a live performance of his.

Tiffany Mason (40:41):
Okay.

Jay Franze (40:41):
I received the recording after he performed it
live.

Tiffany Mason (40:46):
Mm-hmm.
Okay, I guess I don't reallyknow anything about who he was
as a person, other than hisrelationship with June Carter.

Jay Franze (40:53):
So I don't know anything about him.
That doesn't say much about him, so.
Yeah, I mean that was a bigproject.
I got to work on liverecordings from thousands of
extremely well-known countryartists, but never actually got
to meet them.
And if I did meet them, it wasfor a different project, not for
that particular project.

Tiffany Mason (41:11):
Well, I know we talked about current artists or
they were.
I don't know if they were liketoday, current artists, but
recent artists who you knowwould get trashed before they go
on stage because their anxietywould be so bad.
And I wonder if cash is maybeone of those people that you
know.
Just the pressure got to himand, you know, drank a lot.

Jay Franze (41:35):
It's possible.
I know from that that sameseries of live recordings was
Jerry Lee Lewis.
He was talking about it becauseI'm not drinking.
He goes this is just a coffeecup, or whatever.
He said that a few timesthroughout the beginning of the
show and then when he got toGreat Balls of Fire and he
started it and messed it up andthen started again, he goes okay
, fine, I might be drinking, soyou never know.

(41:57):
Jason says Nirvana because KurtCobain's mind must have been
something else.
Lena says Dolly Parton.

Tiffany Mason (42:08):
That'd be another fun one.

Jay Franze (42:09):
Tommy says ACDC.
Angela says Billie Eilish, mydaughter Lucy would love you.
She would love to meet BillieEilish.
Kevin says Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd is not justsomething you listen to, it's an
experience.

Tiffany Mason (42:26):
I kind of agree with that.

Jay Franze (42:28):
Samantha says Prince , there's nobody like it in
terms of talent and mystery.
Really Mystery.
Was Prince mysterious?

Tiffany Mason (42:38):
Maybe in performance.

Jay Franze (42:40):
Again busting my cookies.
Brent, I should say your lastname just for doing this.
Brent says Lenard Skinnard.
Thanks, brent, I appreciatethat.

Tiffany Mason (42:57):
Pronounced Lenard Skinnard.
Pronounced Leonard.

Jay Franze (42:59):
Skinnard.
He says Leonard Skinnard.
They taught me the meaning ofSouthern rock, but of course had
to bust my cookies for the factthat we did not know that that
was the name of their album lastweek.

Tiffany Mason (43:10):
But long-haired Mark came on and saved the day.

Jay Franze (43:15):
Victor.
I like the name Victor, thatwas my grandfather's name.
I like the name Victor, thatwas my grandfather's name.
I like the name it was apotential contender if I had a
son.
But Victor says Eminem.
He's been brutally honest inhis music.
I agree, but it's sad he usedto talk about his daughter,
haley, in the songs a lot andyou think about a young girl

(43:37):
having to grow up in thatenvironment.
But it said he used to talkabout his daughter, haley, in
the songs a lot and you thinkabout a young girl having to
grow up in that environment.
But now Haley's old and haskids of her own.
Oh, interesting it's great, sohe's a grandfather at this point
.

Tiffany Mason (43:48):
Time has gone by.
That's weird.
Eminem is a grandpa, grandpa.

Jay Franze (43:54):
Eminem, let that sink in.

Tiffany Mason (43:58):
If you didn't feel old before you joined us.

Jay Franze (44:00):
Tonight you're feeling very old now, James says
David Bowie.

Tiffany Mason (44:06):
Ooh.

Jay Franze (44:08):
I don't know if this is your Hannah or not, but
Hannah says Harry Styles.

Tiffany Mason (44:12):
Not mine.

Jay Franze (44:13):
You don't know that.

Tiffany Mason (44:15):
I've never heard her listen to Harry Styles.
She wouldn't pick him.
Who would Hannah pick?
Hannah would pick Morgan Wallen.

Jay Franze (44:24):
I don't know this artist, but Olivia says
Blackpink All one word.
Blackpink.

Tiffany Mason (44:31):
Oh, my goodness, we had the funniest.
Okay, there is a new.
Well, I don't even know if it'snew, but there's a song by pink
and it is called freefall, butI thought it was called
turnaround.
So I'm saying to the lady onthe phone please play turnaround
by pink.
And so she plays some othersong by PNK, and so then I say

(44:53):
it again.
I mean I must have asked eightdifferent ways and never once
did it come up.
I was like Hannah, go in myShazam and see which song that I
Shazammed.
And then it wasn't there.
And I was like, okay, go intoPandora and see if you could
find the ones that I've recentlyliked.
And so that came up and she waslike mom, it's called
Turnaround.
I was like, right, that's whatI said Free.

(45:18):
I was like right, it's what Isaid free fall, turn around,
same same.
But she still wouldn't play it.
So I had to go in and Hannahhad to type it in while we were
driving this has nothing to dowith black pink, but pink just
pink, pink.

Jay Franze (45:27):
We got it, mia.
Sorry, I just can't do it.
Sorry, she says Rihanna.
I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Tiffany Mason (45:36):
Is she the one that said Rihanna last week?

Jay Franze (45:38):
Probably Mia.

Tiffany Mason (45:40):
Shut up and drive .

Jay Franze (45:41):
We need a button for you, Mia.
You're fired.
Jordan says Bon Jovi, thesoundtrack of my youth.

Tiffany Mason (45:53):
I would like to meet them as well, for the same
reason as Aerosmith, Like justany of those 80s hair bands.
I mean, that was a crazylifestyle.
And you know, the funny part islike you're saying, like who
would you want to meet?
And we're imagining that we getto have these long, elaborate
conversations, but it's probablyjust like yeah, no.

Jay Franze (46:14):
I mean, this is under the assumption that you
get to have At least sit downand have lunch.

Tiffany Mason (46:19):
Okay.
Yeah, I mean we gotta have Dothey eat With their mouth closed
, because otherwise I don't wantto meet Any of them.

Jay Franze (46:25):
I don't know.
Kate says Whitney Houston, hervoice Is a divine gift.
I will agree.
That she has a great voice.
I just never liked her as aperson.

Tiffany Mason (46:35):
Well plus, I will agree that she has a great
voice.
I just never liked her as aperson.
Well, plus, I'd like to ask herabout when she was coming up,
like I loved watching theWhitney Houston the movie of her
, or whatever.
The ending was terrible, but itwas interesting to see how she
was recruited.
And then, you know, she had tomake a choice and her family
didn't have much, and just theevolution of her life from, I

(46:55):
guess, rags to riches and havemuch, and just the evolution of
her life from, I guess, rags toriches.

Jay Franze (46:59):
Name redacted says I see how it is, scarlett, your
new best friend.
No, you can rest assured thatyou will always be my best
friend.

Tiffany Mason (47:12):
Aw.

Jay Franze (47:16):
Let's just put that on the record.
Ashley says Britney Spears.
I didn't think about BritneySpears, but she would be up
there on my list.
I mean, she's very cute, butshe's also like a screw loose.
It would be fun to talk to herfor a little while.
I would like to know if she'sreally good at screw loose or if
it's just really more of an act.

Tiffany Mason (47:34):
I think she probably had her shit together.
And then they say thatsupposedly we make up like I
don't know rules that we willlive our life by, or like we
make a identity for ourselves orwhatever, from like ages I
don't know eight to 11 or eightto 13 or something like that.
We kind of set our, our idea ofthe world and you know,

(47:58):
boundaries and what we think isacceptable and all that kind of
stuff Anyway, and I think likeif you become too famous too
soon, like all that's justmessed up, and I think maybe
you're just messed up for therest of your life.
You know, like even Miley Cyrusgrowing up in fame.

Jay Franze (48:16):
She had no chance and she's taken some left turns,
but she's come back.
Yeah, all right, I'm going tostart censoring so we can get
through some of these and moveon with our night.
Justin says Tool.
I think Dave Ray from the bandVon Ray would agree with you.

Eric says Bob Dylan.
Haley says Lord.

Tiffany Mason (48:43):
Oh Lord.

Jay Franze (48:44):

Tony Scott (49:25):
Dang it, dang it dang it.

Jay Franze (49:26):
Oh, you're proving that you cannot be learned.

Tiffany Mason (49:30):
You can't teach an old dog new tricks, Jay.

Jay Franze (49:35):
Oh, Ben says Slipknot.
Oh, here you know what.
Ava, I'd say you're my new bestfriend, but we just realized I
can't have multiple best friends.
So you're right, I'm going toget it from all angles, Name
redacted.
You're still at the top.
You're the pinnacle, Iguarantee it.

(49:55):

Jay Franze (50:00):

Well, we're right here, right, we're like right

messenger.
Okay, george has already chimedin.

Jay Franze (50:55):
He knows where you're going.
Go ahead, do it.
I'll put George's answer on thescreen.

Tiffany Mason (50:59):
He is one of the musicians and the co-founders of
the Beach Boys and he haspassed away.
His family announced this onWednesday.
Yes, george, the Beach Boys.

Jay Franze (51:14):
Mr Brian Wilson, you will be missed.
Yes, his mind will be missedfor sure.
I heard he was a little crazy.
I've never met him so I don'tknow that firsthand.
But he was definitely atalented musician, a songwriter,
beyond others or most very sad,sad for his family.
I mean no matter how old youare, it's sad when someone in

(51:36):
your family has to go.

Tiffany Mason (51:38):
Yep.
Okay well moving right alongHard rock bands Seether and.

Jay Franze (51:45):
Daughtry Seether.

Tiffany Mason (51:46):
That's what I said.
Seether and Daughtry.

Jay Franze (51:50):
Oh, I'm sorry, it was just the accents.
It caught me off guard.

Tiffany Mason (51:52):
Yeah, yeah, seether is my favorite.
Okay and Daughtry willco-headline North American tour,
starting October 1st inVirginia Beach and ending
November 15th in Fort Lauderdale, produced by Live Nation.

Jay Franze (52:10):

Tiffany Mason (52:11):
Love me some Daughtry.
I don't know.

Jay Franze (52:13):
Yeah, Daughtry is awesome.

Tiffany Mason (52:15):
Mm-hmm.

Jay Franze (52:15):
Cedar's great, but Daughtry is awesome.
Sia is great, but Daughtry isawesome.

Tiffany Mason (52:17):
Maybe I want to meet Daughtry or Carrie
Underwood and talk to them abouttheir American Idol experience
and their rise to fame.
That'd be cool.

Jay Franze (52:26):
I don't know if that's where I would put my time
with Daughtry.

Tony Scott (52:31):
Yeah, I would put my time with you there.

Jay Franze (52:32):
Maybe Howie broke free from the American Idol
umbrella.

Tiffany Mason (52:39):
That might be more interesting to me.
But also Carrie Underwood wasthe first.
Oh no, Kelly Clarkson was my go.

Jay Franze (52:49):
Kelly.

Tiffany Mason (52:50):
Clarkson won.

Jay Franze (52:51):
Daughtry didn't win.

Tiffany Mason (52:53):
I know.

Jay Franze (52:54):
And he didn't win that Masked Singer either.
I mean, and he should have thatMasked Singer either.

Tiffany Mason (52:57):
I mean, and he should have he's definitely more
talented than any of thoseother people.

Jay Franze (53:03):
He lost Masked Singer to Wayne Brady.
It's like really, I mean, WayneBrady's great and all he's
funny he's a comedian that cansing, but he's not a singer.
I mean he is, but he's not asinger.
Like Daught, mean he is, buthe's not a singer no and I don't
know if you've seen dotrylately, but that boy is jacked I

(53:25):
mean he sounds like I need to Ihad an opportunity to go see
dotry play at a winery incalifornia, northern cal cool.
Extremely good venue.
It was beautiful, I meansurrounded by rocks.
Like I said, it was a winerywith an outdoor ample theater
and it was great Good time.

Tiffany Mason (53:46):
Some rocks are what really really?
That's great at the Stedtics.

Jay Franze (53:50):
Free.
It looked very nice and it madeit sound very nice.

Tiffany Mason (53:54):
You guys hear that there were rocks everywhere
.

Jay Franze (53:56):
There were rocks everywhere.

Tony Scott (54:00):
Like a blister in my ass Right?

Jay Franze (54:04):
You want something new?
There you go.

Tiffany Mason (54:08):
Okay, well, heart guitarist Nancy Wilson has
retrieved her custom purpleSpark Girl telecaster.
It was stolen two weeks ago inNew Jersey.
Police recovered it viasurveillance and an arrest will
follow.
But the 1996 Vanillin remainsmissing.
Dang, who had the balls to gosteal her stuff?

(54:30):
You can't like pawn that, ifit's purple and sparkly, feels
like a dead giveaway.

Jay Franze (54:38):
Definitely can't pawn it.
But I don't know A lot ofartists.
When somebody steals theirthings like this, they won't
press charges because they don'twant the bad press.

Tiffany Mason (54:49):
They should.

Jay Franze (54:50):
They should absolutely.

Tiffany Mason (54:52):
I mean normal people would.

Jay Franze (54:54):
Especially a 1966 mandolin.
I know that's the one that'sstill missing, but I mean that's
.

Tiffany Mason (55:00):
That's crappy.
This one took it.
She worked hard to have it, thememories are hers, that are
with it, and you just took itupon yourself to take it.

Jay Franze (55:09):
Fine, I'll return it .

Tiffany Mason (55:15):
I didn't have you pegged as the five-finger
sticky person, but Okay.
Well, Metallica has remasteredits deluxe box set of Load.
Box set of Load that soundsterrible Includes 15 CDs, 4 DVDs
, officially released on June13th as a part of this week's

(55:37):
major rock music drops.

Jay Franze (55:40):
They're reimagining their load.

Tiffany Mason (55:42):
It's terrible Box set of load.
I think that their chat GPTneeds to be corrected with
Grammarly.
Yeah, there you go, correctedwith Grammarly.

Jay Franze (55:56):
Yeah, there you go.
When something's remastered, Ithink they're just looking to
bring it back up into thepublic's eye.
I don't think there's anythingof Metallica's that truly needs
to be remastered.

Tiffany Mason (56:08):
Doesn't it just mean cleaning it up?

Jay Franze (56:10):
Yeah, cleaning it up , you're bringing it up to
today's standards, so it mightbe a little bit punchier, a
little bit louder, that type ofstuff.
For all of the engineering fansout there, louder does not
always mean better, but, yes, intoday's standards you make it a
little louder, you make it alittle punchier, a little bit
more compressed, and I'm surethat's what they did with this

(56:32):
as well.

Tiffany Mason (56:32):
but it's not necessarily necessary okay just
my well part b of this headlineis that the prog rock veterans
have announced the fragile tour2025.
Anybody who wants to buy me aticket, I'll go to the concert
with you how is this part b ofthe headline?

(56:54):
Because I thought that you saidhow is this part B of the
headline?
Because I thought that you saidI thought that was the name of
their tour, the Fragile Tour yes, the band yes launches their
Fragile Tour.

Jay Franze (57:12):
Oh my God, 2025.
Not yes.
Metallica launches a tour.
The band yes, 2025.
Not yes, metallica launches atour.
The band yes.

Tiffany Mason (57:22):
No, that's terrible you are so good.
Let's scratch that story,because who knows this band?

Jay Franze (57:31):
Yes, Only everybody listening to this show, but you.
It's one of the most popularbands in the world.

Tiffany Mason (57:39):
I don't think so.
No, it's not.

Jay Franze (57:43):
Now, granted, I will give it to you that they're old
, but so are you.

Tiffany Mason (57:48):
Whoa.

Jay Franze (57:51):
You should know who they are Never allude to a
lady's age, Joe.
Joe.

Tony Scott (57:57):
Tiffany Tiffany you're fired.

Jay Franze (58:02):
I'm just saying.

Tiffany Mason (58:03):
Okay, I'm going to take a bite of my crap
sandwich and you the band.

Jay Franze (58:08):
Yes, they have launched a new tour.
It's called the Fragile Tour in2025.
They'll be celebrating theirnew album Fragile tour in 2025.
They'll be celebrating theirnew album, Fragile.
The upcoming shows promise fullperformances of their classic
LP with special selected guests.

Tiffany Mason (58:28):
Wow, I'm going to get tickets for that, so
whoever wants to buy me a ticket?

Jay Franze (58:33):
Our good friend of the show, keith Sensing.
This is his favorite band.
So, keith, oh crap, that is foryou.
I think, Keith is probablyYou're fired.

Tiffany Mason (58:46):
That was Keith's favorite segment ever.
I don't know.

Jay Franze (58:50):
I don't know if it is or not, but at least he knows
who the band is.
Oh it was, and he wouldprobably see them.
Oh, it was he who the band is?
Oh it was, and he wouldprobably see them.
Oh it was, He'd probably seethem live.
Oh yes, If you are new to theshow, this is where we we're
sorry, recommend artists ormusic or something to each other
and see what our thoughts are,and this week or last week I

(59:12):
recommended a band called noApology, with no spaces, no
Apology.
With no spaces, no Apology.
I recommended that band to MissTiffany.
I specified one song called BadNews if she wanted to listen to
a particular song.
So, miss Tiffany, what did you?

Tiffany Mason (59:28):
think of no Apology.
Well, I really liked it.
I liked it.
It started out that she waswhispering and I thought that
was kind of a cool effect,because then the drums come in.
So I thought that was really Ia cool effect, because then the
drums come in.
So I thought that was really Idon't know, audioly interesting.
Anyways, that was cool.
And then I liked actually thatshe I know the song has nothing
to do with marching or that sheis part of like anything.

(59:50):
She got these tall boots on,though, and it just made me
think of like soldier ish, andit just had this great beat
throughout the whole thing.
I loved in the video the Idon't know what it's called the
part of the drum that looks likea symbol.
Is it a tap, I don't know?

Jay Franze (01:00:06):
A hi-hat, hi-hat, that's exactly what it is.

Tiffany Mason (01:00:08):
Yes, yes, that's exactly what it was, so I like
that.
And then I liked her main lineI am not the me you think, you
know Like how freaking cool isthat?
I like that.

Tony Scott (01:00:17):
You were able to understand the lyrics.

Tiffany Mason (01:00:20):
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
It's the most important thingto me.

Jay Franze (01:00:22):
I know, but she's got a very thick accent.

Tiffany Mason (01:00:26):
She does, she does, and I wrote down that.
I thought that the drums werethe star of the song and I like
at the end that the guitar wasso fast.
I really liked all of it.
It's a good recommendation.
I would listen to it again.
I did not hear you mention thefact that she is hot one time.

(01:00:48):
Well, darn it.
I must've missed that.
My eyes tend to go for moremasculine looks.

Jay Franze (01:00:55):
She is kind of tough , but no, she's a beautiful,
beautiful girl, and I mentionedlast week that my wife is always
busting my cookies.
Every time I'm listening to themusic or watching the video,
she goes is that your girl again?
Yeah, no, she's very good.
She's an amazing singer,absolutely amazing singer.

Tiffany Mason (01:01:14):
Yeah, she really a lot of power.

Jay Franze (01:01:16):
Yeah, she's definitely powerful.
She's like I said, she doeshave a, but she definitely
sounds great, she sings greatand I don't know if it's her
boyfriend or you know what theguitar player I would tell?
You his name, but the Lordknows, I can't pronounce that
name.

Tiffany Mason (01:01:35):
Did you say, they're German?

Jay Franze (01:01:36):
They are from the Ukraine.
Oh okay, so they have names thatI will not be pronouncing.
However, her boyfriend is seemsto be the musical mastermind.
If it is her boyfriend, I don'tknow that.
He seems to be the musicalmastermind behind the guitar
playing and probably arrangingthe band and stuff.
They seem to be thecenterpieces, like most bands

(01:01:59):
have a guitar player and leadsinger to be the centerpiece and
then I think they built theband around them to be the
centerpiece and then I thinkthey built the band around them.
They used to be a duo and itsays formally of and it lists
the duo, but I cannot pronounceit.
I'm so sorry.
I'd be glad to spell it for you, but it's not being pronounced.

(01:02:21):
However, extremely talentedmusicians.
They started by doing a lot ofcover tunes.
They even did Journeys SeparateWays.
I mean they've done a wholebunch of cover tunes, and that's
how I found them.
And then they put this bandtogether later.
I don't know.
They've got a lot of greatsongs.
So that's my two cents and, ifyou would allow me, I would like

(01:02:45):
to go ahead and tag on to thisrecommendation and give you yet
another.

Tiffany Mason (01:02:51):
I would love that , Jay.
Okay, I am always intrigued bysuggestions.
I have my pen and paper ready.
Everybody at home pen and paper.

Jay Franze (01:03:00):
I promise you, we can tie it in.
So back when they were doingthe cover tunes, this band's
hooked up with another band.
The band was called halocene.
They are an american band,originally from arizona, I
believe.
However, I think they're innashville now, but these two

(01:03:20):
have done a duet.
So check out halocene, see whatyou think of them, and then we
can go ahead and tie it all inwith their duets, maybe the
following week who knows?
okay, so halocene will be thethe new act to check out.
The thing that I like aboutboth of these bands is they are
true independent bands, and whenI say that I mean no labels

(01:03:42):
behind them, no, no managementthat I know of that.
They literally just gettogether, they perform the music
themselves, they write themusic themselves, they record
the music themselves, they puttheir videos together themselves
and they have live performancestudios in their home.

Tiffany Mason (01:03:59):
I was just going to say I'm having a flashback.
This is the ones that record intheir houses.

Jay Franze (01:04:04):
Yeah.
I mean when I say talented, Itruly mean they are both very,
very talented.
But check out Hallucine and seewhat you think.

Tiffany Mason (01:04:14):
Will do Okay, mark Moron, mark Moron, mark
Mayron, oh Lord, did you justcall him Mark.

Jay Franze (01:04:24):
Moron.

Tiffany Mason (01:04:27):
Is it Mark Maron?
Is it Mark Maron?

Jay Franze (01:04:28):
It's Mark Maron.
Yes, he's only one of the mostfamous comedians in the world.

Tiffany Mason (01:04:33):
Yes, like Maris Moron, yes, mark Maron ends his
iconic podcast after 16 years.
So he has recorded his topicaland entertaining podcast WTF
from his garage studio,interviewing famous people such
as Robin Williams, nicole Kidmanand former President Barack

(01:04:53):
Obama.

Jay Franze (01:04:55):
Have you ever heard of the show?

Tiffany Mason (01:04:57):
Have you ever heard of him.
I've not heard of him.
Clearly, I have heard of theshow.
I never listened to an episode,though.

Jay Franze (01:05:05):
Okay, I've listened to it quite a bit.
It's definitely one I follow.
Oh, now, he's definitelyleft-leaning, so he can get past
his political beliefs and hisopinions.
His show is usually pretty good.
He does record it from his home.
It's just him and one otherperson that have been doing this

(01:05:27):
podcast.

Tiffany Mason (01:05:27):
He records it from his garage, Jay.

Jay Franze (01:05:29):
I know right.
That's the place to be, but yesit's just him and one producer,
so it's just two people thathave produced that show for that
long Barack Obama went to hisgarage.
He recorded in his garage.

Tiffany Mason (01:05:48):
That's pretty cool.

Jay Franze (01:05:49):
It is pretty cool.
But to take that a step further, they had to put snipers up on
all of his neighbor's roofs.
Oh, so I mean they treated itlike anything else.
Secret service was everywherejust so he could drive to this
guy's garage and record apodcast.
But his podcast has been goinglike it says for 16 years.

(01:06:12):
But he's known for very NewYork Jewish type humor and he
starts every show with just himrambling about something.
Usually it's like his therapy.
He's usually rambling aboutsomething to do with his mental
health or something, and he'sjust going on and on and on and

(01:06:34):
then he brings on the guests andtalks.
So you're usually going throughabout 20-30 minutes of him
rambling before you get to aguest.

Tiffany Mason (01:06:44):
Um, so I have a client who has been podcasting
for, I think, almost 13 yearsnow and she says the reason that
she likes to have the podcastand why that's her preferred
method is she basically feelslike she is talking out loud,
like verbally processing thingsthat are going on in her world
or whatever.
And so he probably has foundthe same way, just that oratory

(01:07:04):
processing of whatever's goingon that day or things that were
bothering him or whatever.
And then she does the samething.
She rambles for I don't know 15minutes, maybe, maybe 10
minutes, not 20 or 30.
But and then she gets to theheart of what the episode is
about and I personally find itvery entertaining.
That's probably why you haveenjoyed it as well, because you

(01:07:26):
know it's that authenticitypiece you know easier to relate
to.

Jay Franze (01:07:30):
Well, in our world, when we put shows like this
together, they say just get tothe meat, just skip everything
get to the meat.
But sometimes it's that extrastuff that allows you to get to
know your host and makes theshow more enjoyable, makes it
stand out from any otherinterview that you know Barack
Obama has done.
Yeah, it's surprising to me.

(01:07:52):
I mean, if you take Mark Marondoing his left-leaning podcast
and having Barack Obama on, youcan take Joe Rogan doing his
right-leaning podcast.
He likes to say he's in themiddle but he's right-leaning.

Tiffany Mason (01:08:05):
Right.

Jay Franze (01:08:07):
He had trump on, so I mean two of them.
It's showing you the power ofthe platform for sure.
I would be willing to put moneydown that it was because of him
being on joe rogan that he wonthe last election.
So the power of the podcast isdefinitely there, for sure, but
but we are not political.
So what else do we have?

Tiffany Mason (01:08:28):
Well, we have Kevin Hart, he roasts.
Okay, let me just start overagain.
So, kevin Hart, take two folks.

Jay Franze (01:08:38):
Headed point number 26.
Tiffany will get it right thistime.

Tiffany Mason (01:08:46):
When he was opening.

Jay Franze (01:08:52):
Start from the start .

Tiffany Mason (01:08:56):
Okay, Only if you really want me to.
You keep thinking maybe notOkay.
During his opening monologue atthe 2025 BET Awards on June 9th
, Kevin Hart lampooned SeanDiddy Combs over ongoing legal
issues, joked about Kanye West,Cardi B and even suggested using

(01:09:17):
self-driving whammies.

Jay Franze (01:09:20):
Waymo, waymo, waymo.

Tiffany Mason (01:09:23):
What's up Waymos?

Jay Franze (01:09:25):
Waymo is the self-driving vehicles.
They're like Ubers, but they'rejust driverless.

Tiffany Mason (01:09:32):
Where are those All over?
California and parts of ArizonaAutonomous vehicles.

Jay Franze (01:09:37):
Autonomous vehicles.

Tiffany Mason (01:09:39):
Wow, I know that they are working on something
with autonomous vehicles inJacksonville.
Actually, I wonder if we willhave a Waymos soon.
Waymo, a Waymo it's like eggsin Spanish Wayvos.

Jay Franze (01:09:56):
It's just plural.

Tiffany Mason (01:09:59):
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
So having the self-drivingWaymo to prevent post-show party
chaos, staying a step ahead ofcontroversy Anyway so he was
having no.

Jay Franze (01:10:12):
Start over.
Yes, Kevin Hart got beat uppretty hard for being pretty
brutal during the BET Awards.

Tiffany Mason (01:10:24):
Isn't he the one that got smacked by Will Smith?

Jay Franze (01:10:26):
No, that was Chris Rock.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, the BETawards.
Isn't he the one that gotsmacked by Will Smith?

Tiffany Mason (01:10:29):
No, that was um Chris Rock.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,yeah, I would think um that's
got its own set of challenges.

Jay Franze (01:10:36):
We can approach that a different day.

Tiffany Mason (01:10:38):
Right, I would think that that would be a rough
road to go with all of yourcolleagues, I guess in the room
and then you're going to talksmack about them.

Jay Franze (01:10:49):
Well, I mean, he's a comedian and that's what he
does.

Tiffany Mason (01:10:53):
Yeah, and it was his opening monologue, so
hopefully it was just funnybanter, if you're hiring a
comedian to host or to roastyour audience, you have to know
what to expect.
Yeah, and then if you're WillSmith in the audience, you have
to know how to take it.

Jay Franze (01:11:13):
True statement.
I think he's just had his issuewith his wife.

Tiffany Mason (01:11:19):
Whole different story.
So Jeff Garland.
He's an actor comedian and hejust walked off stage at a
Calabasas Country Club showafter the organizers offered to
pay him with a check instead ofthe agreed-upon $800 in cash.
Around 40 attendees werereportedly disappointed.

Jay Franze (01:11:40):
Yes, he did.
He decided he would not performbecause he was charging $800,
wanted it in cash and would notperform.
Now normally I could say, okay,fine, you told him.
And he did say he wanted itlike two months in advance or
something like that.
So I can understand.
You don't get it two months inadvance.

Tiffany Mason (01:12:01):
So why did it even show up, then?

Jay Franze (01:12:02):
That's your requirement and stuff.
I get it.
But the people who were hostingthe event said, look, this is
obviously a misunderstanding,we'll go ahead and we'll take
care of it.
They tried to pay him with acheck.
He said no.
So they said, well, give us aminute, we'll go ahead and we'll
try to come up with the cashand we'll get it to you.
And he said no and left theperson's like, look, I could

(01:12:27):
lose my job over this.
I've got people who'vepurchased tickets and all this
stuff, and he was just,according to the source, was not
willing to cooperate.

Tony Scott (01:12:37):
So we don't know the full story.

Jay Franze (01:12:40):
But I can understand both sides.
I mean, if you ask for themoney in a certain form, if you
want it in cash, fine.
A lot of comedians do thatbecause in the past they would
not get paid for theirperformance or they would get
told see, you're coming on for50 bucks tonight and they get
paid in chicken wings orsomething.
So so now what they're doing isthey're asking for their money
up front.

(01:13:00):
A lot of checks in the pasthave bounced, so they ask for
cash.
That's a very old-school way ofdoing it.
So when I was growing up, thatwas what a lot of people were
doing is getting paid in cash,just so they could assure that
they had the money.
So I can understand that.
He's an older comedian he'sprobably somewhere around my age
and I can understand why he'sdoing it.
But to not be reasonable at all, I mean, if they're trying to

(01:13:24):
give you the money now andtrying to find a way to give you
the cash, stick around for aminute and see if they do it.

Tiffany Mason (01:13:30):
Yeah, well, and also, I mean, if you ask for it
in cash and you ask for it inadvance and they didn't pay it
to you, then there should havebeen a conversation leading up
to even that Before you get tothat point.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Okay, I think that's all.
That's all.

Jay Franze (01:13:49):
I can butcher, for that's all you can butcher for
one night.

Tiffany Mason (01:13:52):
I've done my job.

Jay Franze (01:13:53):
You've done it and you've done it well, thank you.
What do we got going on thisweek, my friend?

Tiffany Mason (01:14:03):
I think it's important that we talk about
meeting bob bullock, I mean I'vealready met him I know, but I
have talked to you.
You have shared many bobbullock stories.
You have referred to bobbullock many times.
We hosted, co-hosted, anepisode with bob, and so it was
really cool to meet him inperson.

(01:14:24):
I mean, he couldn't have been amore ordinary person if he
tried.
He was the kindest, the nicest,the most welcoming to me and,
you know, showed the studioaround and let me sit in the hot
the sweet spot.

Jay Franze (01:14:38):
Let's step back for just a quick moment and
introduce who Bob Bullock is.

Tiffany Mason (01:14:43):
Yes, why don't you do a proper introduction?

Jay Franze (01:14:45):
We mentioned Bob quite a bit and we never really
say who he is.
But Bob Bullock is a bigengineer and producer that's
been around for a long, longtime.
He started his career inCalifornia.
He eventually moved his careerto Nashville, where he has been
ever since, I would say probablystarted in the 70s and has been

(01:15:05):
working steadily since then.
So if you could think about theamount of projects he's worked
on from the 70s till now, he isa very big, popular engineer
slash producer out of Nashvillenow and I've had the opportunity
to work with him for a fewyears Wait wait, wait, wait,
Back up to you being in.

Tiffany Mason (01:15:28):
were you in Albany?

Jay Franze (01:15:30):
I was in Albany, yes .

Tiffany Mason (01:15:32):
And you saw his name and you were like I'm going
to work for him.

Jay Franze (01:15:36):
I did.
I had a recording studio in NewYork and it was upstate New
York, in Albany, and it had abreak room and we were taking a
break lunch one day and I saw aMix magazine and a Shania Twain
CD that were on the table.
And I was looking through theMix magazine and I said, oh,
look at this school here.

(01:15:56):
I said I'm going to go teach atthat school.
And I saw the CD and on theback of it it said engineered by
Bob Bullock.
And I said you know what?
I'm going to go work for BobBullock.
Long story short, I moved toNashville and went to work at
the school and eventually got tobring in Bob Bullock as a guest
speaker and then Bob asked meif I would like to work with him
as his second.
I did that for a handful ofyears.

(01:16:17):
Uh, one of the best experiencesI had, as far as you know, not
only getting to meet such agreat person but to learn so
much.
You learn more working for himin one week than I would have
years of working in the industry.
So he's, a great guy, greatproducer, and he is, like I said
, very, very nice person.

Tiffany Mason (01:16:38):
Yeah, yeah, it was really cool walking up the
stairs and like seeing all ofthe gold and platinum albums and
seeing his Grammy awards.
And like seeing all of the goldand platinum albums and seeing
his Grammy awards, like howfreaking cool and how funny was
it for me.
So I'm looking at all of them,you know, and I'm like, wow,
this is so cool, wow, it's socool.
So the gold and platinum albumsor whatever have like the

(01:17:03):
records, right and diamond,sorry.
And then looking at some ofthem, they have cassettes and
like jeepers, how far we've come.
But it got me thinking thathe's like a real editor, mixer,
producer where you had to cuttape.
And I just think, like I don'tknow if I would have had the

(01:17:24):
patience to cut tape, like Iwill go in and I will try to
remove the teeny, tiniest littlesound and I will work on it
until it is smooth and youcannot tell there was a cut.
I don't know if I could havedone it tactically, like to hold
the tape and match it up andwhatever.
I just don't know if I couldhave done it.
So that just impresses me evenmore.

(01:17:47):
And then just so many greatpictures that he had around, I
guess, upstairs, and then he hadthis pile of cds and records
and cassettes and I said, isthis everything that you've done
?
And he was like, yeah, more orless.
Yeah, I was like, oh my, it'slike a pile, you guys.
So I did take a picture of it.

(01:18:08):
It is on my social if you careto see it.
I think it was from Fridaynight, the first night we were
there.
Yeah, that was really cool forme just to see him meet him.
And you know, I mean we'refriends and so when I know that
you look up to somebody so much,it's an honor for me to meet
them and go, okay, let me learnabout this person that my friend

(01:18:29):
has such an interest in.

Jay Franze (01:18:31):
Yes, bob Bullock has always been one of the best.
I did have an opportunity towork with three producers on a
consistent basis.
I worked with many producers inNashville, but three of them on
a regular basis, bob being oneof them, matt McClure and Jim
Cristaldi being the other two,and I'm just disappointed that
there was so much going on andwe had our youngins with us that

(01:18:53):
we did not get to meet up withthe other two.
But I would have loved to haveintroduced you to the other two
as well.
Yeah, next time, but I didmention, we had the youngins
with us, so what were yourthoughts on the youngins?

Tiffany Mason (01:19:08):
It was just fun to see them looking around and
it was really cute becauseBella's very social media-versed
, right, and Hannah is not, Idon't know like she doesn't know
how to pose for pictures orwhatever, and so it was cute to
see Bella like pose for apicture and be just completely
comfortable and whatever, andthen hannah be like a little

(01:19:29):
stiff but be trying it and Itried to look away so she could
just, you know, feel naturalwhatever she was doing.
But that was kind ofinteresting.
Oh, and then you guys, huh, mylife changed.
So we went to shake shack andthen we sat down and jay had
like all this salt and pepperand I was like what the heck are

(01:19:51):
you doing with all that saltand pepper?
And then he tore the tops offand he shook it onto his fries
and I was like, wait, whatYou're doing, salt and pepper?

Jay Franze (01:20:01):
You think people don't understand salt and pepper
on fries.

Tiffany Mason (01:20:04):
I didn't, and if I didn't, that means somebody
else didn't.
You guys, you've got to putsalt and pepper.
Salt and pepper on your frenchfries.
It was so good I will never eatmy fries without pepper again,
so that was something that Iwill take away from CMA Fest,
that I will forever dodifferently it was so good.

Jay Franze (01:20:25):
The memory of the week was salt and pepper on
fries.
You should have been there whenI broke out the hot sauce.
That's all I should say.
By the way, we did not get toeat any Nashville hot chicken or
get to go to Prince's hotchicken, which is really what I
remember we could have, but Jaydidn't want to wait in line.
Well, to be fair, it was thechildren's that did not want to

(01:20:46):
wait in line oh well, I think itwas you.

Tiffany Mason (01:20:49):
And then they were like, okay, jay doesn't
want to wait either, and I waslike, but okay, we can do
whatever I don't think that'sthe case.

Jay Franze (01:20:58):
I would have liked to have gone to princess hutch
again.
Just I don't even know if itstill exists, but it's one of
those things that we just didnot get to do there.
There was so many things goingon.

Tiffany Mason (01:21:06):
Yeah, I would have liked to have gone to the
old or the original.
The OG Losers that would havebeen cool too.

Jay Franze (01:21:13):
Yeah, we say that because now there's another
location downtown Nashville,yeah, but Midtown has the
original one and I think there'sa location in Vegas now too.

Tiffany Mason (01:21:24):
Oh really.

Jay Franze (01:21:25):
Yeah, because they sent Kyle Fields, previous guest
of the show.
They send him to Vegas to do aresidency and then, they bring
him back and they send him backout several months later, or
whatever it is.

Tony Scott (01:21:40):
He's also the one that collaborates with Post
Malone.

Jay Franze (01:21:41):
I say collaborates, who doesn't?
It'd be weird if they didn't.
He's gotten up on stage withKyle and played a couple songs.
You know collaborates with PostMalone.

Tiffany Mason (01:21:45):
I say collaborates.

Jay Franze (01:21:46):
Who doesn't?
Post has got to be.
It'd be weird if they didn't.
He's got up on stage with Kyleand played a couple songs.

Tiffany Mason (01:21:52):
Oh, that's cool.
That's cool.
All right, yeah, we're justgetting back into the swing of
things, getting ready forFather's Day.
Happy early Father's Day, jay.

Jay Franze (01:22:01):
I'm not your father.

Tiffany Mason (01:22:04):
No, but you're a father, and I can still wish you
a happy Father's Day, that'strue, you can, that's fair
enough.

Jay Franze (01:22:10):
I remember I told my wife that the first time my
wife got mad at me the firsttime because I didn't recognize
her on Mother's Day, I was likeyou're not my mother, but
apparently I'm supposed torecognize her as the mother of
my children.

Tiffany Mason (01:22:23):
You're supposed to teach your children?
Yes, you're recognize her as themother of supposed to teach
your children, yes, supposed totake them out to get things for
her, and all that stuff right Ihave not made that mistake again
well, my husband did make thatmistake this mother's day and it
was like okay, but also likehmm, okay, also, though, when

(01:22:45):
they don't do it, then it givesyou off the hook for father's
day.
So if I don't do very much, I'moff the hook.
I mean, and you know what hesaid to me.
He said what you said well,you're not my mom.
I was like every year he's donesomething, and this year I got

(01:23:06):
flowers from Hannah, becauseHannah really wanted to buy
flowers For her boyfriend's mom.
So then she was like I'll getyou flowers to your mom.
And I was like, whatever,thanks, it was fine, it was fine
.
What was it, though I might be alittle bit over it.
Alright, should we land theplane?

(01:23:27):
It was fine, was it?

Jay Franze (01:23:27):
though I might be a little bit over it.
All right, should we land theplane.

smooth.
