We’re jumping back to 2016 and reliving the moments that defined the year: headlines, pop culture, sports, and the stuff you forgot was everywhere. Bobby, Eddie and Brandon travel through the biggest events from 10 years ago, debate what actually mattered versus what just felt huge at the time and call out the trends that somehow still haven’t died. Expect a fast-paced rewind, a few “no way that was 2016” realizations, and plenty of side commentary along the way.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to Episode five seventy one of the Bobby Cast.
I posted a picture on my Instagram, and I'm not
a big do a trend guy. If I missed the trend,
So if everybody's been doing it for two or three weeks,
I'm not gonna hop on because then I just feel
like I looked lame because I'm jumping on late. I
like doing trends, So I didn't do one of those
twenty sixteen trends where it was post pictures from ten
(00:29):
years ago. I would have because that's fun. And honestly,
I went through my phone and tried to find twenty
sixteen pictures that couldn't find any. And then I was
gonna have to go through my Instagram and I was like,
I quit. So I gave up, didn't I got tagged
into people's but I never did one. I found a
picture of me with a as a fish look like
a bass and I was probably twelve. Dude, I loled,
(00:50):
and so I did, oh thank you, and so I
just posted a picture. I was like, twenty sixteen went hard.
In reality, you're a two two thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, you were a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Cups cups, Jersey hardcore kid, and so I just posted that,
and everybody in the comments like, there's no way there's
a twenty sixteen because I was like.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Twelve, do you like Joe Dirt's little brother or something.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I did have a bit of a mullet a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
So I didn't hop on the trend. Although the new
trend that's about to happen that I did get on
early was the tank saw that. Yeah, it's funny, what
thank you? Oh dude, tell me the tank trend. So
I've only seen two people do.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It, Oh I did.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I saw yours where it's yeah, point of view world
War three, but I got my ox cord my phone,
blue tooth tooked out. Your face was great on that,
and it's just you're just singing one of your favorite songs,
but you're fighting World War three, And I thought it'd
be funny to do Chicky China, the Chinese chicken. That's
that's the trend I got in on early because I
think a lot of people are going to do that one.
Although I had to research how to do that one
(01:54):
because I didn't see that filter anywhere I looked on Instagram,
didn't see it. I say, research, Then I went over
to TikTok and did a bunch of grolling and then
searched it and typed in tank and that's where it
comes from. Then you have to rip it from TikTok
without the watermark and got it and put it over
on Instagram. But I did that one, so I think
that's you're ahead of that. So I think that's one
that's going to come. Mike, would you know what's coming?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, I've seen that one a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, the tank tunes, Yeah, tank Tunes playlist. But twenty
sixteen I didn't hop in on.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It was fun. It was funny even to research pictures,
like even to go back and how did you find
your pictures? I have them all on the cloud. Same
twenty sixteen with.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Think I would, I don't have it. I googled twenty sixteen.
Nothing came up.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, Like you could just hit years and you're no.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I understand how it works.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I did that. What you're gonna want to do is
go into.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Your photo, you hit years and it gives you all
the years. Dude. My life was crazy in twenty sixteen
because we were touring a lot and it was like
I just I went from January all the way to December,
and it was just like New Year's with the family.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I had a I mean, my youngest probably was We
hadn't adopted yet, so my youngest was probably like three
years old. And it's us and then us on the
road and then back at home, birthday party.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Us on the road.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
We were on the road, alive a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And I saw a picture of you and Brandon. Yeah,
Brandon look like a child. I was you look like
a child with a beard.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
And if I don't have a beard, dude, I look
like I'm nine.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Still still, So this podcast, the concept is we're in
twenty sixteen and I have all the things that were happening. Ooh,
I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
This is cool.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So from when I say beep, we are now in
twenty sixteen. Okay, not yet. Yeah, we're still here, and
I have all the topics that we're going to talk about,
but we're talking about them as they're currently happened.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Okay, I love this. This is great.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's a time machine.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
We're in a time machine. Everybody strapped in. Okay, we're
in yes, all right, beep. But I think first we're
going to start with this dude, we're not in the twenties, dude,
look at that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No, we didn't come back. We're literally in it. Oh right,
right right, and we're not like where we were back.
We're just there again. It's like if we grabbed an
old episode. Okay, now I got a beep again, hold on, beep.
Good to see everybody on this up, dude, this day
in twenty sixteen, nice beautiful.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Man, bright future.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So you talked about christ Ableton for a second. Oh no, no,
he's already doing it. Yeah, twenty fifteen is whenever he
did yearn Yeah, man, I know it's it's been a
difficult year.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, do that new guy.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
He was there last year when him and Justin Timberlake
did the thing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Twenty fifteen was the CMA Awards when he came out
with Yes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Twenty sixteen. Chris Stapleton is still dominant. It's kind of
crazy because he didn't just have a big year. He's
pretty much doing something that we don't see anymore. Traveler
came out in twenty fifteen, and this record is still selling,
still streaming, still winning awards, and it's a rare condition
(04:58):
this day and age. It's one of those rare things
where somebody just exists on an award show randomly, it
pops so hard and then everybody is exposed to their music.
It's almost like back in the fifties or sixties when
Will come on a television show and that's how the
exposure happened. Yeah, but here we are a year later,
and the guy is not chasing radio trends, he's not
(05:22):
doing pop crossovers. He's really just being Chris Stapleton.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So he's not wearing any leather. He's still staying true
to his original wardrobe, which is just like a denim
shirt it's pretty cool and jeans.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's then I'm Shirtbyuary.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, you know, like that's that's all he's wearing, you know,
which is like you see every time you see like
a little success, like oh, the clothes start changing a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And a lot of people don't know this about all.
Chris Stapleton, Now what is that used to be lead
singer of Steel Drivers? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah's right? Yeah, yeah, yeah they were good man. Be honestly,
this is hard for me.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
This is so hard.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Even the way I'm reacting, I'm like, is that right?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Is that twenty sixteen, Like I know so much.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm so knowledgeable now.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I was about to say, yeah, I just bought Chris
Stapleton CD and I did Traveler.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
He was also the lead singer the Johnson Brothers. Yes,
it's a ra period big songwriter, saying with Justin Tubber
like a year ago and now he's still killing it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Still doing last Year twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we don't have to keep saying that we know
what last year is.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I'm just reminding myself.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, I have another one that's good. This new artist
who's not even signed yet, Luke Combs is kind of
breaking the system.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh he's a North Carolina kid, right he yeah, something
Hurricane right.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, he's got this song out now that's online and
it's called Hurricane. And so he hasn't signed a record
deal yet. There's a word he may sign pretty soon
with Columbia.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Okay, No, is that the shirt he wears that's Columbia. Yeah,
fishing shirt the future, you know, right. You know, our
buddy Zach Massey was out the other night and he
saw him at Losers and he said that he played
Hurricane and the place went wild.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I saw that picture. He posted.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, Luke Combs did not come up the normal way.
No massive radio launch, no big award show push, no
polished introduction. He's been a town writing songs. But he's
a kid from North Carolina that's got a song that
is really doing well online. I expect big things. What
record label do we expect him to sign with?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Maybe Columbia, Nashville?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Is it me in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Let's see, Sony. Let me let me see what record
label we think He'll say, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
A good well because when it rains, it pours, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Well that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, oh, it is Columbia.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I was right. So it's the shirts and the record
label shirt, sir, this is it collect Columbia. Okay.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
He also, I hear he's looking to work with with
Crocs to do his own Combs.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
They will never come back. That would cool if he worked.
Those things will never come back.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And then people put those dumb things on them.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
No chance. What are those called trinkets?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know there's a picture of Lukecomb's his first show
ever and he looks but.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He doesn't post that until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, he hasn't posted yet. I just saw it on
his phone.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh when you were with him?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh you saw it on his phone? Yeah, why are
you looking at his phone?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He showed it to me.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You didn't say you knew him?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
He said, look at look at this picture of me
at my first show ever in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Boo.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
He showed me a picture of him at an Eric
Church show front row at Coyote Joe's.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You know, you guys knew him so well. I mean,
he is a normal day Dang, dang, dang. All right,
next up. It looks like as of right now, in
the year of sixteen, correct, this real dumb dude said
that women are like tomatoes on radio. They're calling it
(08:47):
tomato gate?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Really, who said that?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh you don't know about this? I forgot it was
a massive story. It was so stupid him to say
this too.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Who said it?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So in twenty sixteen, which is today.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yes, today, the dates.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The industry is still dealing with fallout from what is
known as tomato Gate, the comment that female artists are
basically just tomatoes on the salad, not even real part.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Of the salad, is it, Howard Stern?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, No, no, it's it's a country artist. No, it's
not a country artist, it's a country music consultant, radio consultant.
Oh his name's Keith. What so Keith?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Go ahead? Yeah you knew what was sorry?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Go ahead? What were you gonna say? I don't so,
yeah he said this, and now everybody's you know, all hurt.
Consultant Keith Hill as the guy that was like, eh,
women just tomatoes on the salad. And so the uncomfortable
part is, uh, female artists are being play dramatically. Less
programmers are defending it, and now they're starting to be
(09:49):
a bit of an angry revolution about it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What is the stage where he said that?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Like think it was like an industry so he said.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It out loud on the microphone and stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm pretty sure that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's bad taste.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think it was a country radio seminar and maybe
thought he thought it would just stay in the Let
me see where it is, because this just happened.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yes, six is right now.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
The only I read it in the country air check.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You read in a country air check. Good deal, good deal,
We got that one.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I like that publication.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
He advocated the station's not play songs by women artists
back to back and drew an analogy to salad male
artists has let us and female artists as the tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Whoa is crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
This guy's never going to hear the end of this. No,
he's ten years later, we're going to be talking about this.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, that, And.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What do we call this tomato gate?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Tomato gate? Yeah, you know what? I named it that
right now?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's good?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's going to take off.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Also, something I think we should talk about today, since
today is the year of sixteen. Beyonce just changed when
an album releases. Now, this doesn't have anything to do
with country music because I doubt Beyonce ever gets in.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
At happen, but that would make a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
She dropped Lemonade with no warning, no traditional rollout, just
said here's the album. Got on my iTunes.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was smart.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I listened to all my.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Music, no doubt, and people are gonna dowload music forever.
It's you know, people want to pay for it. Absolutely,
no radio warm up, no months of promo, no lead
single strategy. Just here it is. Well, that's that's ballsy,
pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I don't know if it'll work. Who knows, but the
internet basically shut down, and so I think the message was,
you know, you don't need permission anymore. So I think
we're starting to see it. The old rules feel optional.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
It seems like she's starting to be the lettuce on
the sound, not the tomato.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, yep. I think streaming is starting to really
really do its thing. Okay, you say that, you don't believe.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
No, come on, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be buying
songs off iTunes forever.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh no, man, I don't know. I think streamings.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I want to own my music. So I would like
to pay a dollar and keep that song. Maybe a
dollar ninety nine the price went up.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
No, what was it, Mike? Whenever it stopped?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
What you're we in right now?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Twenty sixteen?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Okay? Cool?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Did you say beep?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So twenty sixteen. The charts are starting to feel weird
because songs are huge if they're on the radio or
if they're streaming really well, like, there's starting to be,
for the first time, two different ways to actually make
an impact on the charts.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I've seen the kids use this. They have streaming apps
and stuff, right, you have the Yeah, your three year old,
they're not my older one. He's older. Oh god, yeah,
he's streaming music and I think something called iHeart Radio
app Oh good.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Deal, very cool.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Something else just dropped, Uh, this new show called Stranger Things.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh that's sounds weird. What's it about.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'm glad you asked. It's very nostalgia bass Oh cool. Yeah,
so you know eighties music is all in it, since
kids on bikes. But it's about this girl. And I'm
not sure because I haven't seen the first episode yet,
but it's about this girl who's been in a facility
and you know, they think she's got some kind of
(13:22):
you know, super super normal powers that are really supernatural powers.
Have you seen it, Mike?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, it's pretty good. First epode was great, like one
of the kids goes missing, trying to find him.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He loves good kidnapping. Not a kidnapping story, he does, Mike.
He just loves a good kidnapping. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So you think there's a one and done kind of show,
like just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I think it's very much. You know, people love nostalgia.
I think I bet on it to get at least
one one extra season. Okay, yeah, by twenty eighteen, this
show is probably long gone, you know, right, So, yeah,
stranger things just dropped and it's crazy. I guess a
couple other things. I don't know about you, guys, but
this election just feels different. You get Hillary Clinton and
(14:02):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You know, it's just not the same anymore.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It just feels just feels angrier. Everything feels meaner.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yes, now, Harlly Clinton, you're talking about Donald Trump, the
reality guy, the reality star guy, the Apprentice, prinice guy.
You're fired.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, but he's been running, guys for over a year. Yeah,
I know, but you don't think.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I mean, he's the underdog big time. Yeah, everybody, it's
it's almost a given that Hillary Clint's gonna win, right,
There's no way he gets elected. Yeah, even if you
want to avoid politics, you can't avoid this. The twenty
sixteen election, Trump and Hillary Clinton. It does not feel
like past elections. Louder, it's meaner, it's more personal, it's
way more online.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah. She would be the first woman president and he
would president be the first first reality president.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, so you know that's what big election weird times man. Yep,
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It may not change anything.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Nothing I've been ten years ago, ten years I've been
ten years from now, man, will be just it be
the same, like another day.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, same.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Whatever have you guys thought about bitcoin?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Never heard of it?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Bye? Bye?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Sounds buy I don't know, man, it doesn't sound like
it's real money, so I wouldn't buy any.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Four hundred bucks sounds like a lot for one bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Serious, and I gotta mine it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
How do you do that?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Good point?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You got a shovel.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I think I think you have to go dig, like
literally in the dirt to find one.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Man. This is like you know, you you say something
like bitcoin, and it just doesn't make any sense, Like
what is it? No one can explain what it is.
Just buy it and it'll make you money. Yeah, sounds shady.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
No guarantees there.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
All right, Well, good talk, guys. Way to be in
the current time of sixteen man.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor. Wow,
and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
When I beep, who knows what's going to happen? Okay, beepdude,
we're back.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
That that was so hard.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That was difficult.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I did pull up and we can talk from today.
Looking back, I have all the big items of twenty sixteen,
just in general culture. Donald Trump's elected president changed a
few things we didn't know then. Because that other thing
you heard was from twenty sixteen. We recorded that and
put in a time capsule. We had no idea to
put it in the ground. I thought we'd bring it back,
and that's what you guys just heard.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I just said, give me the biggest news events from
twenty sixteen, and this was one that really shook me.
The CD in Civil War. Damn.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Wow, it feels like just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I don't remember this. They do have it listed, know
that I don't know that the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting
happened in twenty sixteen. Yes, yes, major celebrity deaths of
the year in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Dude, that nightclub shooting. That doesn't feel like that long ago.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, because it was so freeing tragic. Uh, Prince died
in twenty sixteen. Wow, what song do you think of it?
Don't say it out loud, everybody. We'll probably say the
same songs. Yeah, one, two, three, perple Rain, No, you.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Can't jump in Raspberry Brat No.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well, why don't you just stick to what you want?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
I don't know, guys, back in twenty sixteen, I just
really wanted to be like you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Second do the second song I was about to do
that comes to your mind control and that peak control.
Would that have been your second song? Yeah, dude, I
think I would have done kiss, Kiss.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
And your no no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Kiss and then uh oh, don't say hold on, I'm
singing it in my head.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Does it have the word little in it?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
No, it's not. Is that yours little red corvette? Mine is?
Oh no, let's go, let's go crazy?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Damn dude. Yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah, Prince died. That
was a shock.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, it was a fentinl Right. Did they like give
him extra fentanyl or something? Is that true?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
See?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Look, in a lot of ways they can have Michael
Jackson confused because Michael Jackson died a finanyl.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, overdose on pain pills.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Not fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Uh, pain pills probably. I mean Michael Jackson was I
think says counterfeit counterfeit pain pills containing fedanyl.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh, so they both died from fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (18:44):

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Before you go whim? What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I want your sex? Probably I want just sex, babe? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, I think that's one of them. Let me look
them up.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Never gonna dance again?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
See sing that one. I never got a dance with
a saxophone.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, but that's wamsam?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Was it really so?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I don't know. George Michael died. Let's see George Michael's
top streaming songs. Oh, number one, listen to this, I'll
play the saxophone. You name the song?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
When that one the one he was saying, what is
it though? Uh dance with and it's.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Not it's not called that, it's called not father or
what's it called.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Careless whisper careless. That's a good one. Number two is faith.
Number three is I will be your father. Man. He
does have some jams.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Uh freedom, Okay, sing that one freedom, Freedom's and these
are all Michael, These are all George Michael solo songs.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Number five is a jam too, and I'm not even
gonna sing. I can't sing it. But at one part
he goes, ladies and gentlemen, mister Elton John, mm hmmm,
can you know that one?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I can't.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
No, don't let the son go down on me. If
it's no, no, no no. If it's no no, I see
that song, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Not coming to me.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
No, that's that's the lord of the chorus.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That the song go down on me.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Okay, that's not familiar.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, I just sang it. But I think the drums help, no,
the lap drums, and I think they both might have
recorded that. Gentlemen, because that doesn't he go lads, gentleman,
mister and John, and then Aunton John comes out and goes.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
If it's no, no dude, I see that's a good impresident,
No man, I really okay.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Also dying in twenty sixteen, Leonard Cohen Hallelujah? Can you
think of any other songs?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
On one?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I came and I always get him and Leonard Nimoy
mixed up, only only for a second because Leonard Neimoy
was spock.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh yes, yeah, I get Leonard Cohen and the Cohen
brothers mixed up. He's not a Cohen brother by the way. Yeah,
you're right, his own brothers who to direct fargo.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
So his number one streaming song is not hall Lujah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
No way. I bet it's something that we don't even know.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It has one hundred and sixty seven million streams and
I don't know if I know it. And I could
play it and see if we do, have to play
it underneath the mic. Okay, it's called Suzanne, and I
don't know if I know Suzanne.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Let me get to the course here in summers.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I don't know this. I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Did he just have one song?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't know maybe, I mean, really the only reason
because Hallelujah wasn't even a big song by him. Uh
is it not his one of the top five songs.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, but I'm saying it wasn't a massive song by him.
I think probably a lot of his streaming has because
it's because Jeff Jacky made it so big, because his
song I'm gonna be total casual in her code here.
I don't think his version is that good. No, I agree, Yeah,
it's only good because the other version was good, right,
the Jeff Buckley version. U uh, hot take. It's only
(23:10):
good because Jeff Buckley made it good.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So those four people died in twenty sixteen, Prince David Bowie,
George Michael and Leonard Cohen.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Uh. There were two breakouts in the Olympics in twenty sixteen.
Michael Phelips Historic Metal Hall in Simone Biles breakout.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh was that her first?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I don't know it does a breakout? I have the
Cubs one of the World Series. I went, so you
were there. I didn't go to Game seven, but here's
my story. I went to Game two in Chicago. The
Cubs lost to the Indians, but I remember Wrigley Field
and all of Wrigleyville. It was so packed. You couldn't
even walk the streets without it's not even bumping anybody.
(23:52):
You bumped, you were touching somebody the entire time you existed.
It felt like what Times Square looks like. And I've
never been to that because it looks it does look miserable.
That's what it felt like outside the stadium. That's what
it felt like inside the stadium. But everybody was so happy.
I was gonna say, the Cubs had it won since
nineteen oh eight then had been since nineteen forty five,
(24:13):
so everybody was so happy, being so tight. And they
lost that game. And then Game seven was during the
CMAS and it was the first time that I've been
invited to be on network television presenting an award ever,
and I turned it down so I could stay home
and watch Game seven.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
So I did not go on CBS. I think that's
where it was on CBS that year the Cmas. I
stayed home and I watched Game seven and the Cubs
were losing and rain delay hit. Then the Cubs won.
It was awesome, And yeah, that was my first TV
offer to go and present an Award Show and I
said no, but.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
You're such a diehard cup I was.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I literally am. Sometimes people go like, oh, you're not
a real Cubs fan, Yeah you were, Like, Bro, you
don't even know. I don't feel the need to constantly
beat my chest about it because I am. You know,
there's a I don't need to prove but to anybody.
But yeah, I skipped out on my first network television.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
When you went, did you take your stepdad?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
No, I took. I took him later. He had never
been to Wrigley and I took him when I threw
the first pitch out. I love that. That was super
cool because he's who made me a Cubs fan, and
so I took him. I've taken him since again. But
I got to the first pitch out. That's pretty cool.
That's really it wasn't It wasn't that year.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Was your team at the time, like like your management
team where they're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Man?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You got to take this off?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Or I don't think I had a management team then? Okay, okay,
I think I was just need money then. Yeah. In
technology and culture, Pokemon Go takes over the world and
this is Mike the game. Yeah, I even played the
game for a minute.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
You would walk around and playing Pokemon was yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I mean, how stupid were We'd go to parks, it
was fun.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I didn't go anywhere, but if I saw one near
I would stop and try to chase it. Yes, I
get it. You don't chase them.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
You just grab them and just walk around and they
pop up.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It was just dumb. I'd be at a red light
and like you know, in my car and pull it
up and be like, oh my gosh, there's one in
the park right here across the street.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
There's a squirrel right next to me.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I'm blowing my phone.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Walk in somebody die.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh I'm sure like walk dow in front of cars
or off cliffs or something.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's so dumb, because yeah, you'd hold your phone up
and you would follow the signal.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Is that still thing, Mike, I think it's gone away? Yuh.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Fake news goes mainstream, viral misinformation on social media becomes
a recognized political force for the first time.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Wow, that'll never end. I'm telling you right now, That'll
happen forever and ever.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
For what you're you in right now, no current, I'm
gonna be a sarcastic oh, okay, I'm sarcastic, like that's
I think though, if we're in we're today talking right,
I think what AI will do as I think AI
will eventually build a way to stomp out misinformation if
(27:02):
they want it to a lot of the reason they
don't want it to is because it creates engagement, and
more engagement it gets. The longer you're on these sites,
the more money they make. It's why they feed you
things that make you angry, because we stay longer with
things that make us angry than things that make us happy.
I think if people get so fed up with misinformation
(27:24):
that it starts to keep us off these sites, they
will then train their AI to eliminate things that are misinformation.
But then the problem with that is you then have
a bias because they could also train AI to not
push forward into the algorithm certain political beliefs, even if
they're true. So it's a slippery slope, but I could
(27:44):
see AI eliminating all of that if they wanted it to.
You would, basically, though, need a board of different minded
people constantly changing or monitoring what they're allowing and not allowing.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I think where the problem was in twenty sixteen was
breaking news. I remember the problem being with breaking news,
right like where back you know, back with mainstream media,
they'd had to double check before they announced anything, like
all right, is this double check check with your sources,
Call the authorities, call the police department, called the chief,
make sure that this is accurate before we announce it.
(28:21):
And there were just so many different you know, social
media was just no breaking news. This is happening. So
the mainstream media, the networks are just like, well, we
can't let social media beat us, so then let's just
report whatever we hear.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, everybody trying to figure it out at the same time,
and to be the first, I think, and I think
there's enough data to back up what I'm about to say.
I think the reason that the misinformation happened so dramatically
twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen is because of that election. And
I think you were seeing and they do it now
a lot. You're seeing outside forces try to get in
(28:56):
and split us apart. Right now. We know it's Russia,
know it's China, we know all these bot farms coming
from all these different countries. We didn't know what that
was then, but they were doing that against us, and
you can look at like Cambridge Analytica. There's a whole
documentary on that that's exactly what was happening. So we
didn't know that. We just thought people were just being
funny or just putting out fake news. But it was
(29:19):
an absolute I don't even know how to how to
but there was an agenda and.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
We were falling for it.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, and we still do still fall for We still do. Yeah,
there was a There was absolutely an agenda, and it
turns out it was like adversarial forces doing it crazy.
We just didn't know that. Now we do know. We
still fall we still fall.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
For even though we know.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
In health and science. In twenty sixteen, Zeka happens. Do
you remember Zica?
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Uh yeah, the virus right, do you know what?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Do you know what it was? Mosquito Zica was Yeah,
I think Zeke you could get it from Mosquitos. It's
right around pregnancy. If you're pregnant, you had to like
avoid Mosquitos because it would get birth defects.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Twenty sixteen what a year.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Man crazy year lost some good people had. Zeka got
faked out by the news a lot.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Peyton Manning win in the Super Bowl, retiring right, was
that twenty sixteen? Yeah, twenty fifteen season.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
But uh yeah right, I don't know. I didn't have that.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You didn't have that?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Do you have this podcast starting twenty sixteen?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
No? Way, whoa I did?
Speaker 6 (30:28):
In fact, Mike, the Bobby Cast will be right back.
This is the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
The Big Ones of twenty sixteen musically, Adele twenty five Eddie.
Do you know why she named her records all the numbers?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
No, it's because her age.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Every day, that's how old she was.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Every time she releases a record, it's her age.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
These are the big releases that you're views from. Drake one,
Dances on that one, Lemonade, Beyonce, The Life of Pablo
Kanye Mike, any songs from that For the Life of Pablo,
mm waves.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I don't know about big songs.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I don't really think of anything that pops through famous.
I haven't looked it up.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
That Taylor Swift one. What do you mean where you
made that music video? And it's like Taylor Swift naked
in the bed and there was a whole controversy over that.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I think I remember that part, but I remember the
song let's see father.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Stretched my hands. What is that? I don't know what
you know? How like you go to you know, Apple
Music or whatever and has a star of the most played,
that's the most played.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Twenty sixteen country music albums Chris Stapleton Traveler Still, which
I think we talked about back when we recorded. Remember
that album of the Year at the Grammys was Stgel
Simpson A Sailor's Guide to the Earth and Maren Morris
Hero had a big crossover moment because my church crossed over.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, so there you have it.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Anything else you want to say?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Twenty sixteen, No, and dude and our band was just
killing the road twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, killing the road. I think the road was killing us.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It was we got tired every every single week.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
We have a bus.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Then we had a bus. We would fly some places.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
We weren't vanning it.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Then I'm trying to I'm trying to think of all
the pictures. Yeah, like we no van. We were past
the van, which is crazy. It's a big there's a
big deal for us. But yeah, there's a lot of
bus bus pictures. We played the State Fair in Texas
that year.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh yeah, I remember that. It is a pretty small
stage though. Yeah, we played like an It wasn't indoor,
but it was uh, it was covered.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Covered, It had the two trucks on both sides.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
It was pretty big.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
But it wasn't like the main stage.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Oh no, no, no, it wasn't. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I don't think we made the main stage. What was
weird was we weren't on the radio anywhere in Texas
and I hadn't had any success outside of just the
radio show.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Well, definitely not in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, so I remember, yeah, Dallas especially. I remember it
was just like eight people from Austin who.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Drove up, whoever was at the coup, people from Lubbak,
and like some faragoers and whoever was needing.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
We were like, man, well I don't know why they
booked us here, and we know what I was following here.
So all right, thank you guys. Don't forget next week
this podcast. I've already said who the first guest is,
but now I can because we've already recorded the hour
with him. But on Netflix in a week, Kenny Chesney
will be our first guest. So pretty pumped about that.
Thank you guys. Hope you have a great rest of
(33:32):
the day and we will see you soon. Thanks for
listening to a Bobby Cast production
Welcome to Episode five seventy one of the Bobby Cast.
I posted a picture on my Instagram, and I'm not
a big do a trend guy. If I missed the trend,
So if everybody's been doing it for two or three weeks,
I'm not gonna hop on because then I just feel
like I looked lame because I'm jumping on late. I
like doing trends, So I didn't do one of those
twenty sixteen trends where it was post pictures from ten
(00:29):
years ago. I would have because that's fun. And honestly,
I went through my phone and tried to find twenty
sixteen pictures that couldn't find any. And then I was
gonna have to go through my Instagram and I was like,
I quit. So I gave up, didn't I got tagged
into people's but I never did one. I found a
picture of me with a as a fish look like
a bass and I was probably twelve. Dude, I loled,
(00:50):
and so I did, oh thank you, and so I
just posted a picture. I was like, twenty sixteen went hard.
In reality, you're a two two thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, you were a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Cups cups, Jersey hardcore kid, and so I just posted that,
and everybody in the comments like, there's no way there's
a twenty sixteen because I was like.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Twelve, do you like Joe Dirt's little brother or something.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I did have a bit of a mullet a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
So I didn't hop on the trend. Although the new
trend that's about to happen that I did get on
early was the tank saw that. Yeah, it's funny, what
thank you? Oh dude, tell me the tank trend. So
I've only seen two people do.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It, Oh I did.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I saw yours where it's yeah, point of view world
War three, but I got my ox cord my phone,
blue tooth tooked out. Your face was great on that,
and it's just you're just singing one of your favorite songs,
but you're fighting World War three, And I thought it'd
be funny to do Chicky China, the Chinese chicken. That's
that's the trend I got in on early because I
think a lot of people are going to do that one.
Although I had to research how to do that one
(01:54):
because I didn't see that filter anywhere I looked on Instagram,
didn't see it. I say, research, Then I went over
to TikTok and did a bunch of grolling and then
searched it and typed in tank and that's where it
comes from. Then you have to rip it from TikTok
without the watermark and got it and put it over
on Instagram. But I did that one, so I think
that's you're ahead of that. So I think that's one
that's going to come. Mike, would you know what's coming?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, I've seen that one a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, the tank tunes, Yeah, tank Tunes playlist. But twenty
sixteen I didn't hop in on.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It was fun. It was funny even to research pictures,
like even to go back and how did you find
your pictures? I have them all on the cloud. Same
twenty sixteen with.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Think I would, I don't have it. I googled twenty sixteen.
Nothing came up.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, Like you could just hit years and you're no.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I understand how it works.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I did that. What you're gonna want to do is
go into.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Your photo, you hit years and it gives you all
the years. Dude. My life was crazy in twenty sixteen
because we were touring a lot and it was like
I just I went from January all the way to December,
and it was just like New Year's with the family.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I had a I mean, my youngest probably was We
hadn't adopted yet, so my youngest was probably like three
years old. And it's us and then us on the
road and then back at home, birthday party.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Us on the road.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
We were on the road, alive a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And I saw a picture of you and Brandon. Yeah,
Brandon look like a child. I was you look like
a child with a beard.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
And if I don't have a beard, dude, I look
like I'm nine.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Still still, So this podcast, the concept is we're in
twenty sixteen and I have all the things that were happening. Ooh,
I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
This is cool.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So from when I say beep, we are now in
twenty sixteen. Okay, not yet. Yeah, we're still here, and
I have all the topics that we're going to talk about,
but we're talking about them as they're currently happened.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Okay, I love this. This is great.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's a time machine.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
We're in a time machine. Everybody strapped in. Okay, we're
in yes, all right, beep. But I think first we're
going to start with this dude, we're not in the twenties, dude,
look at that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No, we didn't come back. We're literally in it. Oh right,
right right, and we're not like where we were back.
We're just there again. It's like if we grabbed an
old episode. Okay, now I got a beep again, hold on, beep.
Good to see everybody on this up, dude, this day
in twenty sixteen, nice beautiful.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Man, bright future.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So you talked about christ Ableton for a second. Oh no, no,
he's already doing it. Yeah, twenty fifteen is whenever he
did yearn Yeah, man, I know it's it's been a
difficult year.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, do that new guy.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
He was there last year when him and Justin Timberlake
did the thing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Twenty fifteen was the CMA Awards when he came out
with Yes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Twenty sixteen. Chris Stapleton is still dominant. It's kind of
crazy because he didn't just have a big year. He's
pretty much doing something that we don't see anymore. Traveler
came out in twenty fifteen, and this record is still selling,
still streaming, still winning awards, and it's a rare condition
(04:58):
this day and age. It's one of those rare things
where somebody just exists on an award show randomly, it
pops so hard and then everybody is exposed to their music.
It's almost like back in the fifties or sixties when
Will come on a television show and that's how the
exposure happened. Yeah, but here we are a year later,
and the guy is not chasing radio trends, he's not
(05:22):
doing pop crossovers. He's really just being Chris Stapleton.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So he's not wearing any leather. He's still staying true
to his original wardrobe, which is just like a denim
shirt it's pretty cool and jeans.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's then I'm Shirtbyuary.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, you know, like that's that's all he's wearing, you know,
which is like you see every time you see like
a little success, like oh, the clothes start changing a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And a lot of people don't know this about all.
Chris Stapleton, Now what is that used to be lead
singer of Steel Drivers? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah's right? Yeah, yeah, yeah they were good man. Be honestly,
this is hard for me.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
This is so hard.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Even the way I'm reacting, I'm like, is that right?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Is that twenty sixteen, Like I know so much.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm so knowledgeable now.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I was about to say, yeah, I just bought Chris
Stapleton CD and I did Traveler.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
He was also the lead singer the Johnson Brothers. Yes,
it's a ra period big songwriter, saying with Justin Tubber
like a year ago and now he's still killing it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Still doing last Year twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we don't have to keep saying that we know
what last year is.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I'm just reminding myself.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, I have another one that's good. This new artist
who's not even signed yet, Luke Combs is kind of
breaking the system.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh he's a North Carolina kid, right he yeah, something
Hurricane right.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, he's got this song out now that's online and
it's called Hurricane. And so he hasn't signed a record
deal yet. There's a word he may sign pretty soon
with Columbia.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Okay, No, is that the shirt he wears that's Columbia. Yeah,
fishing shirt the future, you know, right. You know, our
buddy Zach Massey was out the other night and he
saw him at Losers and he said that he played
Hurricane and the place went wild.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I saw that picture. He posted.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, Luke Combs did not come up the normal way.
No massive radio launch, no big award show push, no
polished introduction. He's been a town writing songs. But he's
a kid from North Carolina that's got a song that
is really doing well online. I expect big things. What
record label do we expect him to sign with?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Maybe Columbia, Nashville?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Is it me in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Let's see, Sony. Let me let me see what record
label we think He'll say, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
A good well because when it rains, it pours, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Well that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, oh, it is Columbia.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I was right. So it's the shirts and the record
label shirt, sir, this is it collect Columbia. Okay.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
He also, I hear he's looking to work with with
Crocs to do his own Combs.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
They will never come back. That would cool if he worked.
Those things will never come back.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And then people put those dumb things on them.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
No chance. What are those called trinkets?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know there's a picture of Lukecomb's his first show
ever and he looks but.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He doesn't post that until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, he hasn't posted yet. I just saw it on
his phone.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh when you were with him?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh you saw it on his phone? Yeah, why are
you looking at his phone?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He showed it to me.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You didn't say you knew him?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
He said, look at look at this picture of me
at my first show ever in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Boo.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
He showed me a picture of him at an Eric
Church show front row at Coyote Joe's.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You know, you guys knew him so well. I mean,
he is a normal day Dang, dang, dang. All right,
next up. It looks like as of right now, in
the year of sixteen, correct, this real dumb dude said
that women are like tomatoes on radio. They're calling it
(08:47):
tomato gate?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Really, who said that?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh you don't know about this? I forgot it was
a massive story. It was so stupid him to say
this too.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Who said it?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So in twenty sixteen, which is today.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yes, today, the dates.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The industry is still dealing with fallout from what is
known as tomato Gate, the comment that female artists are
basically just tomatoes on the salad, not even real part.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Of the salad, is it, Howard Stern?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, No, no, it's it's a country artist. No, it's
not a country artist, it's a country music consultant, radio consultant.
Oh his name's Keith. What so Keith?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Go ahead? Yeah you knew what was sorry?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Go ahead? What were you gonna say? I don't so,
yeah he said this, and now everybody's you know, all hurt.
Consultant Keith Hill as the guy that was like, eh,
women just tomatoes on the salad. And so the uncomfortable
part is, uh, female artists are being play dramatically. Less
programmers are defending it, and now they're starting to be
(09:49):
a bit of an angry revolution about it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What is the stage where he said that?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Like think it was like an industry so he said.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It out loud on the microphone and stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm pretty sure that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's bad taste.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think it was a country radio seminar and maybe
thought he thought it would just stay in the Let
me see where it is, because this just happened.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yes, six is right now.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
The only I read it in the country air check.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You read in a country air check. Good deal, good deal,
We got that one.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I like that publication.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
He advocated the station's not play songs by women artists
back to back and drew an analogy to salad male
artists has let us and female artists as the tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Whoa is crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
This guy's never going to hear the end of this. No,
he's ten years later, we're going to be talking about this.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, that, And.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What do we call this tomato gate?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Tomato gate? Yeah, you know what? I named it that
right now?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's good?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's going to take off.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Also, something I think we should talk about today, since
today is the year of sixteen. Beyonce just changed when
an album releases. Now, this doesn't have anything to do
with country music because I doubt Beyonce ever gets in.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
At happen, but that would make a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
She dropped Lemonade with no warning, no traditional rollout, just
said here's the album. Got on my iTunes.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was smart.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I listened to all my.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Music, no doubt, and people are gonna dowload music forever.
It's you know, people want to pay for it. Absolutely,
no radio warm up, no months of promo, no lead
single strategy. Just here it is. Well, that's that's ballsy,
pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I don't know if it'll work. Who knows, but the
internet basically shut down, and so I think the message was,
you know, you don't need permission anymore. So I think
we're starting to see it. The old rules feel optional.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
It seems like she's starting to be the lettuce on
the sound, not the tomato.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, yep. I think streaming is starting to really
really do its thing. Okay, you say that, you don't believe.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
No, come on, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be buying
songs off iTunes forever.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh no, man, I don't know. I think streamings.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I want to own my music. So I would like
to pay a dollar and keep that song. Maybe a
dollar ninety nine the price went up.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
No, what was it, Mike? Whenever it stopped?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
What you're we in right now?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Twenty sixteen?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Okay? Cool?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Did you say beep?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So twenty sixteen. The charts are starting to feel weird
because songs are huge if they're on the radio or
if they're streaming really well, like, there's starting to be,
for the first time, two different ways to actually make
an impact on the charts.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I've seen the kids use this. They have streaming apps
and stuff, right, you have the Yeah, your three year old,
they're not my older one. He's older. Oh god, yeah,
he's streaming music and I think something called iHeart Radio
app Oh good.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Deal, very cool.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Something else just dropped, Uh, this new show called Stranger Things.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh that's sounds weird. What's it about.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'm glad you asked. It's very nostalgia bass Oh cool. Yeah,
so you know eighties music is all in it, since
kids on bikes. But it's about this girl. And I'm
not sure because I haven't seen the first episode yet,
but it's about this girl who's been in a facility
and you know, they think she's got some kind of
(13:22):
you know, super super normal powers that are really supernatural powers.
Have you seen it, Mike?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, it's pretty good. First epode was great, like one
of the kids goes missing, trying to find him.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He loves good kidnapping. Not a kidnapping story, he does, Mike.
He just loves a good kidnapping. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So you think there's a one and done kind of show,
like just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I think it's very much. You know, people love nostalgia.
I think I bet on it to get at least
one one extra season. Okay, yeah, by twenty eighteen, this
show is probably long gone, you know, right, So, yeah,
stranger things just dropped and it's crazy. I guess a
couple other things. I don't know about you, guys, but
this election just feels different. You get Hillary Clinton and
(14:02):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You know, it's just not the same anymore.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It just feels just feels angrier. Everything feels meaner.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yes, now, Harlly Clinton, you're talking about Donald Trump, the
reality guy, the reality star guy, the Apprentice, prinice guy.
You're fired.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, but he's been running, guys for over a year. Yeah,
I know, but you don't think.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I mean, he's the underdog big time. Yeah, everybody, it's
it's almost a given that Hillary Clint's gonna win, right,
There's no way he gets elected. Yeah, even if you
want to avoid politics, you can't avoid this. The twenty
sixteen election, Trump and Hillary Clinton. It does not feel
like past elections. Louder, it's meaner, it's more personal, it's
way more online.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah. She would be the first woman president and he
would president be the first first reality president.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, so you know that's what big election weird times man. Yep,
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It may not change anything.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Nothing I've been ten years ago, ten years I've been
ten years from now, man, will be just it be
the same, like another day.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, same.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Whatever have you guys thought about bitcoin?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Never heard of it?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Bye? Bye?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Sounds buy I don't know, man, it doesn't sound like
it's real money, so I wouldn't buy any.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Four hundred bucks sounds like a lot for one bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Serious, and I gotta mine it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
How do you do that?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Good point?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You got a shovel.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I think I think you have to go dig, like
literally in the dirt to find one.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Man. This is like you know, you you say something
like bitcoin, and it just doesn't make any sense, Like
what is it? No one can explain what it is.
Just buy it and it'll make you money. Yeah, sounds shady.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
No guarantees there.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
All right, Well, good talk, guys. Way to be in
the current time of sixteen man.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor. Wow,
and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
When I beep, who knows what's going to happen? Okay, beepdude,
we're back.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
That that was so hard.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That was difficult.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I did pull up and we can talk from today.
Looking back, I have all the big items of twenty sixteen,
just in general culture. Donald Trump's elected president changed a
few things we didn't know then. Because that other thing
you heard was from twenty sixteen. We recorded that and
put in a time capsule. We had no idea to
put it in the ground. I thought we'd bring it back,
and that's what you guys just heard.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I just said, give me the biggest news events from
twenty sixteen, and this was one that really shook me.
The CD in Civil War. Damn.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Wow, it feels like just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I don't remember this. They do have it listed, know
that I don't know that the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting
happened in twenty sixteen. Yes, yes, major celebrity deaths of
the year in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Dude, that nightclub shooting. That doesn't feel like that long ago.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, because it was so freeing tragic. Uh, Prince died
in twenty sixteen. Wow, what song do you think of it?
Don't say it out loud, everybody. We'll probably say the
same songs. Yeah, one, two, three, perple Rain, No, you.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Can't jump in Raspberry Brat No.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well, why don't you just stick to what you want?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
I don't know, guys, back in twenty sixteen, I just
really wanted to be like you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Second do the second song I was about to do
that comes to your mind control and that peak control.
Would that have been your second song? Yeah, dude, I
think I would have done kiss, Kiss.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
And your no no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Kiss and then uh oh, don't say hold on, I'm
singing it in my head.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Does it have the word little in it?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
No, it's not. Is that yours little red corvette? Mine is?
Oh no, let's go, let's go crazy?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Damn dude. Yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah, Prince died. That
was a shock.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, it was a fentinl Right. Did they like give
him extra fentanyl or something? Is that true?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
See?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Look, in a lot of ways they can have Michael
Jackson confused because Michael Jackson died a finanyl.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, overdose on pain pills.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Not fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Uh, pain pills probably. I mean Michael Jackson was I
think says counterfeit counterfeit pain pills containing fedanyl.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh, so they both died from fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, I think Michael Jackson was using it to sleep,
not the same year. Obviously, uh Prince's biggest streaming songs
number one, number two, A little Red Corvette, not top five.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Let's go crazy that one when.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Dovescries two, Oh yes kiss no Raspberry Beret love that

Speaker 2 (19:41):

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, I think that's one of them. Let me look
them up.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Never gonna dance again?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
See sing that one. I never got a dance with
a saxophone.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, but that's wamsam?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Was it really so?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I don't know. George Michael died. Let's see George Michael's
top streaming songs. Oh, number one, listen to this, I'll
play the saxophone. You name the song?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
When that one the one he was saying, what is
it though? Uh dance with and it's.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Not it's not called that, it's called not father or
what's it called.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Careless whisper careless. That's a good one. Number two is faith.
Number three is I will be your father. Man. He
does have some jams.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Uh freedom, Okay, sing that one freedom, Freedom's and these
are all Michael, These are all George Michael solo songs.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Number five is a jam too, and I'm not even
gonna sing. I can't sing it. But at one part
he goes, ladies and gentlemen, mister Elton John, mm hmmm,
can you know that one?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I can't.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
No, don't let the son go down on me. If
it's no, no, no no. If it's no no, I see
that song, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Not coming to me.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
No, that's that's the lord of the chorus.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That the song go down on me.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Okay, that's not familiar.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, I just sang it. But I think the drums help, no,
the lap drums, and I think they both might have
recorded that. Gentlemen, because that doesn't he go lads, gentleman,
mister and John, and then Aunton John comes out and goes.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
If it's no, no dude, I see that's a good impresident,
No man, I really okay.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Also dying in twenty sixteen, Leonard Cohen Hallelujah? Can you
think of any other songs?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
On one?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I came and I always get him and Leonard Nimoy
mixed up, only only for a second because Leonard Neimoy
was spock.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh yes, yeah, I get Leonard Cohen and the Cohen
brothers mixed up. He's not a Cohen brother by the way. Yeah,
you're right, his own brothers who to direct fargo.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
So his number one streaming song is not hall Lujah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
No way. I bet it's something that we don't even know.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It has one hundred and sixty seven million streams and
I don't know if I know it. And I could
play it and see if we do, have to play
it underneath the mic. Okay, it's called Suzanne, and I
don't know if I know Suzanne.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Let me get to the course here in summers.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I don't know this. I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Did he just have one song?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't know maybe, I mean, really the only reason
because Hallelujah wasn't even a big song by him. Uh
is it not his one of the top five songs.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, but I'm saying it wasn't a massive song by him.
I think probably a lot of his streaming has because
it's because Jeff Jacky made it so big, because his
song I'm gonna be total casual in her code here.
I don't think his version is that good. No, I agree, Yeah,
it's only good because the other version was good, right,
the Jeff Buckley version. U uh, hot take. It's only
(23:10):
good because Jeff Buckley made it good.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So those four people died in twenty sixteen, Prince David Bowie,
George Michael and Leonard Cohen.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Uh. There were two breakouts in the Olympics in twenty sixteen.
Michael Phelips Historic Metal Hall in Simone Biles breakout.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh was that her first?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I don't know it does a breakout? I have the
Cubs one of the World Series. I went, so you
were there. I didn't go to Game seven, but here's
my story. I went to Game two in Chicago. The
Cubs lost to the Indians, but I remember Wrigley Field
and all of Wrigleyville. It was so packed. You couldn't
even walk the streets without it's not even bumping anybody.
(23:52):
You bumped, you were touching somebody the entire time you existed.
It felt like what Times Square looks like. And I've
never been to that because it looks it does look miserable.
That's what it felt like outside the stadium. That's what
it felt like inside the stadium. But everybody was so happy.
I was gonna say, the Cubs had it won since
nineteen oh eight then had been since nineteen forty five,
(24:13):
so everybody was so happy, being so tight. And they
lost that game. And then Game seven was during the
CMAS and it was the first time that I've been
invited to be on network television presenting an award ever,
and I turned it down so I could stay home
and watch Game seven.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
So I did not go on CBS. I think that's
where it was on CBS that year the Cmas. I
stayed home and I watched Game seven and the Cubs
were losing and rain delay hit. Then the Cubs won.
It was awesome, And yeah, that was my first TV
offer to go and present an Award Show and I
said no, but.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
You're such a diehard cup I was.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I literally am. Sometimes people go like, oh, you're not
a real Cubs fan, Yeah you were, Like, Bro, you
don't even know. I don't feel the need to constantly
beat my chest about it because I am. You know,
there's a I don't need to prove but to anybody.
But yeah, I skipped out on my first network television.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
When you went, did you take your stepdad?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
No, I took. I took him later. He had never
been to Wrigley and I took him when I threw
the first pitch out. I love that. That was super
cool because he's who made me a Cubs fan, and
so I took him. I've taken him since again. But
I got to the first pitch out. That's pretty cool.
That's really it wasn't It wasn't that year.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Was your team at the time, like like your management
team where they're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Man?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You got to take this off?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Or I don't think I had a management team then? Okay, okay,
I think I was just need money then. Yeah. In
technology and culture, Pokemon Go takes over the world and
this is Mike the game. Yeah, I even played the
game for a minute.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
You would walk around and playing Pokemon was yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I mean, how stupid were We'd go to parks, it
was fun.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I didn't go anywhere, but if I saw one near
I would stop and try to chase it. Yes, I
get it. You don't chase them.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
You just grab them and just walk around and they
pop up.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It was just dumb. I'd be at a red light
and like you know, in my car and pull it
up and be like, oh my gosh, there's one in
the park right here across the street.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
There's a squirrel right next to me.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I'm blowing my phone.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Walk in somebody die.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh I'm sure like walk dow in front of cars
or off cliffs or something.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's so dumb, because yeah, you'd hold your phone up
and you would follow the signal.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Is that still thing, Mike, I think it's gone away? Yuh.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Fake news goes mainstream, viral misinformation on social media becomes
a recognized political force for the first time.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Wow, that'll never end. I'm telling you right now, That'll
happen forever and ever.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
For what you're you in right now, no current, I'm
gonna be a sarcastic oh, okay, I'm sarcastic, like that's
I think though, if we're in we're today talking right,
I think what AI will do as I think AI
will eventually build a way to stomp out misinformation if
(27:02):
they want it to a lot of the reason they
don't want it to is because it creates engagement, and
more engagement it gets. The longer you're on these sites,
the more money they make. It's why they feed you
things that make you angry, because we stay longer with
things that make us angry than things that make us happy.
I think if people get so fed up with misinformation
(27:24):
that it starts to keep us off these sites, they
will then train their AI to eliminate things that are misinformation.
But then the problem with that is you then have
a bias because they could also train AI to not
push forward into the algorithm certain political beliefs, even if
they're true. So it's a slippery slope, but I could
(27:44):
see AI eliminating all of that if they wanted it to.
You would, basically, though, need a board of different minded
people constantly changing or monitoring what they're allowing and not allowing.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I think where the problem was in twenty sixteen was
breaking news. I remember the problem being with breaking news,
right like where back you know, back with mainstream media,
they'd had to double check before they announced anything, like
all right, is this double check check with your sources,
Call the authorities, call the police department, called the chief,
make sure that this is accurate before we announce it.
(28:21):
And there were just so many different you know, social
media was just no breaking news. This is happening. So
the mainstream media, the networks are just like, well, we
can't let social media beat us, so then let's just
report whatever we hear.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, everybody trying to figure it out at the same time,
and to be the first, I think, and I think
there's enough data to back up what I'm about to say.
I think the reason that the misinformation happened so dramatically
twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen is because of that election. And
I think you were seeing and they do it now
a lot. You're seeing outside forces try to get in
(28:56):
and split us apart. Right now. We know it's Russia,
know it's China, we know all these bot farms coming
from all these different countries. We didn't know what that
was then, but they were doing that against us, and
you can look at like Cambridge Analytica. There's a whole
documentary on that that's exactly what was happening. So we
didn't know that. We just thought people were just being
funny or just putting out fake news. But it was
(29:19):
an absolute I don't even know how to how to
but there was an agenda and.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
We were falling for it.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, and we still do still fall for We still do. Yeah,
there was a There was absolutely an agenda, and it
turns out it was like adversarial forces doing it crazy.
We just didn't know that. Now we do know. We
still fall we still fall.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
For even though we know.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
In health and science. In twenty sixteen, Zeka happens. Do
you remember Zica?
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Uh yeah, the virus right, do you know what?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Do you know what it was? Mosquito Zica was Yeah,
I think Zeke you could get it from Mosquitos. It's
right around pregnancy. If you're pregnant, you had to like
avoid Mosquitos because it would get birth defects.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Twenty sixteen what a year.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Man crazy year lost some good people had. Zeka got
faked out by the news a lot.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Peyton Manning win in the Super Bowl, retiring right, was
that twenty sixteen? Yeah, twenty fifteen season.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
But uh yeah right, I don't know. I didn't have that.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You didn't have that?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Do you have this podcast starting twenty sixteen?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
No? Way, whoa I did?
Speaker 6 (30:28):
In fact, Mike, the Bobby Cast will be right back.
This is the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
The Big Ones of twenty sixteen musically, Adele twenty five Eddie.
Do you know why she named her records all the numbers?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
No, it's because her age.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Every day, that's how old she was.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Every time she releases a record, it's her age.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
These are the big releases that you're views from. Drake one,
Dances on that one, Lemonade, Beyonce, The Life of Pablo
Kanye Mike, any songs from that For the Life of Pablo,
mm waves.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I don't know about big songs.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I don't really think of anything that pops through famous.
I haven't looked it up.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
That Taylor Swift one. What do you mean where you
made that music video? And it's like Taylor Swift naked
in the bed and there was a whole controversy over that.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I think I remember that part, but I remember the
song let's see father.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Stretched my hands. What is that? I don't know what
you know? How like you go to you know, Apple
Music or whatever and has a star of the most played,
that's the most played.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Twenty sixteen country music albums Chris Stapleton Traveler Still, which
I think we talked about back when we recorded. Remember
that album of the Year at the Grammys was Stgel
Simpson A Sailor's Guide to the Earth and Maren Morris
Hero had a big crossover moment because my church crossed over.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, so there you have it.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Anything else you want to say?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Twenty sixteen, No, and dude and our band was just
killing the road twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, killing the road. I think the road was killing us.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It was we got tired every every single week.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
We have a bus.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Then we had a bus. We would fly some places.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
We weren't vanning it.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Then I'm trying to I'm trying to think of all
the pictures. Yeah, like we no van. We were past
the van, which is crazy. It's a big there's a
big deal for us. But yeah, there's a lot of
bus bus pictures. We played the State Fair in Texas
that year.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh yeah, I remember that. It is a pretty small
stage though. Yeah, we played like an It wasn't indoor,
but it was uh, it was covered.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Covered, It had the two trucks on both sides.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
It was pretty big.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
But it wasn't like the main stage.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Oh no, no, no, it wasn't. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I don't think we made the main stage. What was
weird was we weren't on the radio anywhere in Texas
and I hadn't had any success outside of just the
radio show.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Well, definitely not in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, so I remember, yeah, Dallas especially. I remember it
was just like eight people from Austin who.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Drove up, whoever was at the coup, people from Lubbak,
and like some faragoers and whoever was needing.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
We were like, man, well I don't know why they
booked us here, and we know what I was following here.
So all right, thank you guys. Don't forget next week
this podcast. I've already said who the first guest is,
