Bobby counts down his 10 favorite Tim McGraw songs of all time, while Eddie weighs in with a very different No. 1 pick. Along the way, they break down the stories and emotions behind songs like “Something Like That,” “Humble and Kind,” “Live Like You Were Dying,” and “Don’t Take the Girl,” including the question Bobby still has about what happened to the girl in the song. Bobby also revisits the controversy surrounding “Indian Outlaw,” shares the thoughtful gifts Tim and Faith Hill have sent him, and reveals whether he actually has Tim’s number. Plus, the conversation turns into a debate over which country stars Bobby can text and why Eddie just wants one celebrity contact of his own.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Everybody, Welcome to the Bobbycast. But we're doing my top
ten greatest Tim McGrath songs of all time. Now, this
hat right here was given to me by Tim McGraw.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I found it. I could find it like a.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Month, and so he came off his Soul to Soul
tour his Vegas residency. He said, I wore this for
half the tour and now I'm wearing it. Ah, I
feels so good. I thought it'd be perfect for the
Tim mcgral episode. And I brought in a massive Tim
McGraw fan, Eddie, What I love.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Tim McGrath, dude, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he is the man.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You're a bigger McGrath fan than I am. I'm a fan,
you're a super fan. But here's the deal. I don't
know the deep cuts of Timmocgrath. I never went like, oh,
I need to know more about Timmograth. I just love
the Timograth that everyone knows.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I have the top ten greatest songs from Tim McGraw
from me, and so let's go through them.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
You'll know all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
At number ten from nineteen ninety nine something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Come on, did that? That's your number ten. Wow, it's
much higher for you. That's my number one? No way, yes,
that number one for you. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I mean the most memorable thing about this song is
barbecue standing in my white T shirt?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Correct, you were killing me in that miniskirt. Yeah, that'd
be your number one, dude. I love it when I
listen to that song, the imagery going through my head,
even the dude get on the airplane and like, whoa,
I recognize that voice, and then seeing the girl like
dude that it all lives in my head Skipping Rocks
by the River.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
All that released in nineteen ninety nine. The line about
barbecue standing in my white T shirt is probably what
people recognize the most.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
This song's kind of sad, though, Why do they not
get together?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, it's like nostalgia.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Maybe I just think old stuff sad.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
But nothing happens at the end. I feel like they
get together. Oh okay, because there's the first memory at
the fair, right yeah. Then they see each other on
the way to Marty Gras I to me and that's
where it ends. That's where Tim stops telling. It's the story.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Maybe I just knume everything ends in tragedy. They is
all tragedy. That's my number ten song. It's crazy that'd have.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Been your number one one, clearly my number one song.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Funny thing we did this thing on our radio show
where our company wouldn't buy us chairs so that we
had moved studios. Chairs are expensive. The company just said
use your old chairs. But we had built all these new.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Desks and I said, man, sure will be notice.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
We had chair sponsors and so artists would call and say,
I got your chair. So Garth Brooks did my chair
and it says what my second book was, Fight Grind Repeat,
and it's an awesome chair.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Tim McGraw did Eddie's chair. I still have it. It's
in my home office now. It's pretty cool. Dude. Every
time I sit on it, I'm like, Wow, Tim mcgral
gave me this chair. Did you ever sign it? No?
As many times you sign it, Maybe we should, like,
if he comes back in the studio, I should bring
that chair back so he signs it. We just have
him come to your house. That that'd be weird.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I don't think he would do it. They sent us
a really nice baby gift.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Tim and Faith. I know I saw. I don't even know.
I don't remember what the gift was. I don't even
know if I know what the gift was, but I
saw the package. It was like from Tim and Faith
and it was beautifully wrapped and everything else. Yes, do
you remember my wife and I went over, No, I
know you guys came over. I know you saw the pan.
You hadn't opened it yet, and I was just like, dude,
is that from Tim and Faith? You're like, yeah, yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Was a bunch of onesies for every month of the year.
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
We looked it up. It's pretty defensive. Do you think
Tim and Faith were at the mall and like, We're like, oh,
she would like that.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
What I really think happened is probably Tim's assistant or
maybe tim'aw on Instagram the we had a baby and
Tim says, hey, let's do for Bobby what we do
for people that were semi close to and send him
this gift. But that counts?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
It? Does it? Does? I pictured him at the mall,
But okay.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I've never seen them together at the mall.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
But you've seen them separately, right. I've seen Faith that.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I've Faith, but never Tim at the mall. I've seen
Nicole Kidman at the mall. I've seen Keith Urban at
the mall, but not together. But have you seen them
together at the mall? No?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I've seen Faith at the grocery store and that's it.
Have you seen Tim alone somewhere? Did you say that? No? Okay,
neither of I does Tim leave the house.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Some people saw him walking down the road by a
radio station, our old radio station, just.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Watching him down the road. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Number nine on my list from twenty sixteen. Humble and Kind,
lovely do even like song?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I do correct Tim sings it.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I like it, Okay, fair enough. This song happened once
we had moved to Nashville. He was more than twenty
years into his career at this time, and I remember
talking to him before this song came out, and I'm
not sure maybe the record was even called Humble and Kind.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I don't know, but it sounds about right.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
The song wasn't a single yet, and he was talking
looking about, hey, there's going to be this one song.
It's a Laurie McKenna song. She's who wrote it. He's like,
it's a game changer in me. I'm about to do
an interview. I'm like, okay, buddy, everybody's always talking about
what's going to be a game changer.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's my most personal record ever. It's the best I've
ever done. Yeah. You said that the last time, so
then it was yeah, it's good. What's the name of
the record? Okay? Oh well whatever song was good. You
know Laurie McKennon, Yeah, I know her better than Tim.
That's crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
She lives in Boston. People travel to her to write.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
She's also one of the love junkies. They've written a
bunch of songs together, but the music video was a
bunch of non famous people, a bunch of non actors
from around the world.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's kind of cool. But it's a good song. I
love the message. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
I like slow songs too. One song of the Year
at the CMA Awards and it.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Was just good. Yeah, and he could you can play
that one acoustic and it works. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
If you play something like that acoustic, it works. But
it's not the same. That song needs like a band.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
You need the DTTE D.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, number eight from nineteen ninety nine. My best friend
and my best friend. This song is so good.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, so good.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
People interpreted it to be about Faith Hill.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh that's not what it's about. Well, it wasn't a duet,
and I don't I don't know he wrote it. Okay,
But as an artist, can you say, hey, three writers,
two writers? I love my wife. Can you write something
kind of like that says she's my best friend?

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I don't really think that's how that see, that's what
I would do if I was an artist. My best
Friend was written by Amy Mayo and Bill Luther was
recorded by Tim McGraw. So normally an artist doesn't go, hey,
I have an idea, go write me this. They either
write it or they say they're looking for a certain
kind of song and they start to get pitch to
them songs that have already been written.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
And then do like record labels and artists do they
look at it be like, oh, best, this sounds great.
Everyone's gonna think it's about you and faith.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Well, I think if you incorporate music video imagery and
then yes, if he's singing it. Because I think most people,
even in nineteen ninety nine, before social media, most people
probably thought that artists wrote all their songs.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh for sure, I thought George Strait wrote all of
his songs.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yes, So I don't know that what happens, and that
everybody knows what happens in Nashville was actually known as
to what happens in Nashville.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
You know what I think was a big part of
that was that the show Nashville exposing how all that works.
Exposing is a weird word, but yeah, well I mean
like it's a crime. Well not that kind, but I
mean it kind of was. It's like told the whole
story of this town, the good and the bad.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Even that songs are written for artists by other people.
I mean the Bluebird for sure, he got famous from
the show in Nashville, dude.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
And the concept that writers sitting in an office to
write a country song.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Happens here every day. People look at their calendar, they
go to a room in an office building, they sit down,
they write songs.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah. I saw an interview with Hankulins Junior and he's
just like, I can't stand that, Like country music songs
should be written in the woods, not in an office somewhere.
On music Rope.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
At number seven from two thousand and two, She's my
kind of rain.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh sing that one for me?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
She's my I can't sing it, get kicked out? Okay,
So the interesting thing about this song. I was kind
of out of country music at this time, at about.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
A ten year period where I checked out was that
when like alternative was kicking hard.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, and also when I was like working in pop music.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah. Yeah, And it was a crossover you in you
it obviously, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Like grew up always listened to country. I checked out
for a bit and then came back, obviously. But this
song was in that era of me not knowing And
it's my wife's favorite Timocras song really, And we were
playing some temagraw and she was like, my favorite, She's
my kind of rain, and I'm like I don't She's like,
you don't know that song?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
No. See, That's kind of where I am right now
with it. I feel like I need to hear it
because the only thing I have in mind is uh,
lacked the rain. Oh that black that's a jam.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
So this song was pitched a bunch of artist before
Tim cut it. It came out when Tim was moving away
from novelty songs and leaning more into more mature material.
So it's kind of one of those songs that bridge
that gap from Tim when he was doing a bunch
of the.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Again, sure, old on. It's weird to say novelty, but
to me, those are the fun stung I know, yeah, yeah,
fun like themed. I don't really think too much about it.
I like it, I love it like I want some
more of it.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I push She's my kind of rane at number seven
because if my wife ever hears this and I don't
put it in, I'll get a nod on the head.
I do like the song though, number six, nineteen ninety.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Eight, where the green grass grows. Ah, that's a good
one at the beginning, right, that's a fiddle, right, yeah, yeh,
that's my Friendino. That's my Friendino. Dude. Yeah, that's a jam.
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Were released in ninety seven, but became a number one
hit in nineteen ninety eight. This was that time when
Tim started to get so successful that he had lived
a life like he was singing and showing. But he
started to get so rich and famous around this time
where he kind of needed a song to connect. That's

(10:20):
where he came from and this was that. And he
grew up in rural Louisiana. It's all about escaping normal life.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Ah damn ned game. Get there is corn up and rose.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
The everywhere album, and that album had a ton of
songs like massive songs. But at yeah, number six where
the green grass grows from Timigral.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
That reminds me of a simpler time for you. Graduated
high school, broker, even more broke. Oh, I was definitely
a broker. I thought I was a broker. I'm like,
I never knowd that that was never a broker. I
graduated high school ninety eight. When did you? Ninety seven?
So is my first share college? Yeah? Just the future.
It was wide open man. Dang you know now though, No, Oh,

(11:08):
that's sad. It's kind of setting stone out.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
The Bobby Cast will be right back, and we're back
on the Bobby Cast.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
At number five from nineteen ninety seven. Come on, it's
your love. That's something to me really one of the
greatest duets of all time? Now is this one about faith?
Written by Timergirl?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
It wasn't ye, Wow, it wasn't dude.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I didn't realize, but a lot of women writers, like
for our life when we could write stop, I didn't
realize that a lot of these songs were written by women.
It's tim Agross song to me, in my mind was
just like, Oh yeah, maybe Tim and a couple of
writers wrote this. Pretty cool. I like that.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
This song obviously is associated with them too, because they
both sang it. But also she was pregnant in the video.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh wow, I believe wow. I don't remember the video.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
So it was number one country radio and then it
was a top ten Billboard Hot one hundred song, which
means the pop charts.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
In the video where they trying to hide the pregnancy,
where they showcased pregnant, well, I think she was just pregnant.
He wasn't like grabbing the belly or anything.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I don't think they were doing that now may I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Remember the vide. I just feel like that that she
was pregnant in the video.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Billboard named it the number one country song of nineteen
ninety seven, his first major duet with Faith Hill. Tim
and Faith had married the year before, Faith was pregnant
with their first daughter when the song exploded.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Here we Go.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
The music video features a visibly pregnant Faith, which made
the song feel authentic rather than manufactured. Oh yeah, this
song turned them into country music's power couple.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I just pictured him singing that song in this hat for.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Sure, like this is that hat to do with his
muscles ripping out of his show? I didn't go like that.
But you see the picture of him and his brothers, Yeah, ripped.
What the heck? I know, dude, kind of looks like
us when we take pictures.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
You mean when we actually take the picture, not the one.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Just guys hanging out taking pictures. I had number four,
We're getting There, We're getting there from nineteen ninety four. Four.
I like it, I love it. I want some more
of it. No, it's got to be. That's gotta be early,
earlier than that. This is ninety four is gonna be?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Is this song that was a bit controversial and he
stopped playing it for a while.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, Indian Outlaw song was awesome?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, dude, this was This was the introduction. Yes, I
would listen to Kissing ninety six. I'll wait for this
song to come on.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Was that his first? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
It wasn't not a number one though, Wow, So nineteen
ninety four it was Tim's first hit. It was a
number eight song.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Wow peaked at number eight, so this was it.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
It was hugely controversial. Some Native American groups criticized it,
others defended it, but Because of the controversy, Tim got
more famous.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I wonder if the tribes mentioned were the ones that
I like it and the ones that weren't, where it's
like you Cherokee or chalk Taw or chip a wall
because it's a baby have Cherokee and chalk tom a baby.
She's a chip of wall. She's one of my bad Yeah,
what if my friends become a bear claw? And dude,
I could totally see him, Like, I.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Don't know, guys in the one in my wig wall.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Pull out. My pipe's smoked me. So I'm getting offended
out what are we doing here? Guys? Dude, that's like
there were dudes in the chair board meeting me, Like,
let her rip. It was a jam song. But let's
let's look at the lyrics. The Indian out man.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Okay, okay, because I can sing it all for sure,
because he goes and I don't want to sing the melody,
talk it out. I'm an Indian outlaw, half Cherokee and Choctaw.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
So far it's fine. I'm not offended. Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
My baby, she's a chip a wall, she's a one
of a kind. Okay, you know what, just telling the
story yep.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Also, is this even true about him though? Because I
don't think it is. No, no, but there's no way no.
But I'm saying like, was he even Native American?

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Because it's weird if like an Irish dude gets up
and is singing about.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, because he is Irish, right cross, I think about
that and the mc all.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
My friends call me Barrick Law. The village chieftain is
my papa. He gets his orders.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
From my mama.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
She makes him walk the line. Okay, we're only mildly
treading in where someone could be a little offended.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Keep reading. I have questions, but keep reading.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
You can find me in my wigwam. Now we're getting there. Now,
we're getting places where just because of Ryan.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
What's a wig one like a tpe? Right?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, okay, yeah, I'll be beating on my tom toll.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Okay, all right, all right, pull out the pipe is
my favorite one.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
The pipe, and smoke you some hey and pass it around.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I can understand Native Americans being offended by this.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Now, So is this about a Native American or just
about a dude who thinks is an Indian.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I've never really listened. I've never really thought about it.
I just sang it.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Can you keep reading? I can to hear some of
these verses.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Okay, I ain't because I'm okay the chorus I mean,
and then I ain't looking for trouble. We can ride
my pony double.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
What does that mean? Are you talking to the girl? Yeah?
I made like both. Ride the worth of us.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Make your little heart bubble lord like a glass of wine.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
There's nothing there? Fine, Okay.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I remember the medicine man. He caught running water in
my hands, drugged me around by my headband said I
wasn't her kind feels.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I don't know. I just I'm wondering if this is
like a real Native American story, like is it based
off someone? And maybe the memoirs of bear Claw? Oh?
Interesting if told?

Speaker 1 (17:41):
If the story told through sync, yeah, I think that
makes a difference.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Because if there was a real bear Claw there and
this happened to him.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Is Indian outlaw about a real person?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yes? It is not. It is not. It's just making
it up.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
In trouble, I can kill a deer a buffalo with
is my arrow on my hickory bow from one hundred yards?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Don't you know? I do it all the time.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
They all gather around my TP late at night, trying
to catch a peek at me, and nothing about my
buffalo briefs.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
What the I got them standing in line? Huh? Isn't
there a TP in a wigwam? And then also maybe
a wigwam is a brand of TP. It wasn't capitalizing though,
rics well, looks more like a hut, but it is.
It's a semi permanent domed hut. Oh probably made a clay.

(18:33):
Now you're going Aztec, dude. And then that big breakdown
that was awesome though Cherokee people. Man, I can understand
some people being upset. I agree back, and I wasn't
sounds like he's just telling a fictional story of a
Native American guy. I did an AI overview.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Indian Outlaws, an up tempo novelty country song released in
nineteen ninety four. The meaning and the narrative center on
a rebellious character who proudly boasts about his mixed Native
American heritage while adopting the persona of a roguish outlaw
chasing a chip awall lover.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Because baby, it's just heavy stereotype funny. They used the
word novelty on that.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Sorry, Ultimately mcgroy starting crying, dude, it's okay, okay. Ultimately,
McGraw's acknowledged the controversy but defended the song as a
tongue in cheek piece of storytelling rather than I don't
feel like it's a deliberate attack. I just feel like
maybe it was a little insensitive. And in the nineteen
ninety four yeah, different time.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think the teams were still
called the teams, right, the team, yeah, like the Cleveland
Oh you mean there's sports teams. Yeah, yeah, the Redskins
washed this yeah yeah, yeah, that hadn't parody. That hadn't
changed yet. Oh that's funny. That real.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
The parody Clay Judge, remember him, No, sometimes he emails
me really yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah. I think he lived in like South Carolina or
Florida or something over There is a parody guy.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, big successful country parody guy. Okay, there's Indian Owl
at number four.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Okay, we're getting there.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to
the Bobby Cast. This is one of those where it's
just one single word. I say, the one single word.
You'll know the song immediately from the one single word.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Ready, Oh, is it a name or a word? It's
a name. Jimmy Johnson, Tommy and oh Yeah, I Lived
like You were dying. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Released in two thousand and four, spent seven weeks at
number one Billboard's Biggest Country Song of two thousand and four.
It won Everything, CMA Song of the Year, Single of
the Year, ACM Wanter, Grammys. It jammed, it still does.
It's played at funerals, births. Yeah, it's it's all that, graduations,
cancer fundraisers like this song does all that.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Like who would have thought a sad song like that
would be so big? Because it's just it's a sad one.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
It's also an inspirational one at the same time. Yeah, yeah,
because it's Hey, things aren't going well, but now I'm
gonna go live my life to the fullest.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah. And even if you're not dying, you should live
this way. It's kind of speaking to those people too.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
And every time I hear it, like, I'm gonna change
my life and live like I really and then I
never did.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
How long does that last?

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean, until the next song comes on after after
Don't Rock the jukebox plays all the way out.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I forgot about live like you were dying. So wearing
the hat on the album No Live Like you were Dying.
Yeah this hat, Yeah that hat right there. If I
wrote this.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Or was wearing this one, he was on full food
mane Choo.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
He wrote two point seven seconds on a bull named
food Man Chew. That's a good that's a good one.
But I'm so Number three Live Like You Were Dying.
You have two left and number two I Love.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
It was hard for me not to put this at one.
Number two I Love so Much is from nineteen ninety seven.
It's from that Everywhere album we were talking about a
second ago. It spent six weeks at number one in
the country chart. It was the number one country song
of nineteen ninety eight. This is not a typical breakup song.
In this song, the narrator, Tim mcgrawl loses the girl
but still wants to make her happy.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
This is when he was thirty years old. He played
this in studio for.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Us and I thought it was awesome and he goes
like this, well, good speak it speak it just to
see you smile.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
I'm good, dude, do anything that's jam. Dude. That's so
hard to not sing that because like you're saying it,
and I'm like, that's not good. We need to sing that.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's such a good song. And the fact that it
was a six week number one is crazy. I don't
think most people put that as high on their list,
but I love just to see you smile.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
I'm so worried for your list right now, you know,
because I'm about hit number one and I know what
it is. It's obviously don't take the girl. It's obviously
don't take the girl.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
This was the first song that when I was thirteen
or fourteen, it made me sad by listening to a song.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
And so I'll give you the.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Deal here March nineteen ninety four from Not a Moment
Too Soon. It was his first number one country song
because Indian Outlaw did not go number one.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
It was at eight.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
But the video was crazy made me sad. It was
a fishing trip, there's a robbery, there's a childbirth. And
why it was different musically was it was told really
as a story and showed as a short movie the video,
and so people would still ask him does she survive?
And I did ask him on our show and he said,

(23:40):
I don't think she did.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
So yeah, he kind of broke that news to us.
I crossed over beyond country. It was top twenty Billboard,
Hot one hundred so on the pop charts, and that
was it. Don't take the Girl? Now, did he write
that one?

Speaker 3 (23:54):
No?

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I don't think okay, so he really can't say what
happened to the girl? He's when he told me.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
When I asked him, he said, I don't think so,
right right, But.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
No, he did not write and that's his opinion. That's
his opinion. Did you think that was gonna be number one?
I just didn't know what you're gonna do. You had
I like it, I love it. Left you had a
red rag a red rag top.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Okay, So what songs, which is why I brought you here?
What songs did not make it that you would have
put in the top.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
To Highway Don't Care? I love Highway, Don't You never
was a fan really from the beginning.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's fine, it's fine, and Keith Urban doesn't really sing
it comes in there.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's good. It's a good song.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Okay, but that is like a generational McGraw song to me. Yeah, okay, okay,
so you put that one?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, red rag Top? Like I can't believe that it
make your list. I would have subbed out. Mmmm, it's
a tough one. You wouldn't have put it in. And
she's my kind of rain. No, I wouldn't have put
that in there. I wonder if I would get rid
of what about Lula Wayne Bump into my iPod? Yeah?

(25:00):
Truck yeall was great and all of it. No, I
wouldn't put down the list. Okay, I like it. I
love it, Red Ragtop Highway, don't care. Trying to think
of something else now, I think you've got everything else.
Shotgun Writer was pretty good. Stun way later. I thought
about that one. But Tim McGraw, I like him as

(25:24):
a dude. You love him.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I love him as a dude. I want some more
of him as a dude. You know the one song
that I thought about putting in, and only because I
saw a really emotional performance of it.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
It was I think, as if you're reading this, oh
that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I went in New York because he wrote a book
and he was performing that song when they were talking
about the book, and basically it's like someone who goes
to war and.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
If you're reading this, yeah, he did write that one.
He wrote that one.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Did I think that one was more so like in
that moment when I watched tell the story and play
the song.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
I was like, wow, yeah, more so than my.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Whole life being affected by it.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
But man, that was a good song. That was from
it looks like.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Let It Go record two thousand and seven.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Oh is that old? Yeah, two thousand and seven. That
was before we knew him. If you're reading this by timc. Grawl, yeah, okay,
well I thought it was rough. I thought it was
right around the town the time.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Twenty tribute to the Families of Fallen Soldiers. It takes
the form of a posthumous letter from a soldier remember
to his loved ones. That's it's a song, Brandon, I
miss anything in your mind.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
There's one duet that I always think about, and I
don't know if you guys remember it, but it was
him and Faith and it's called I Need You?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Is that I Need You? I'm doing rhymes.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
The verse starts out, I want to drink that shot
a whiskey. I want to I don't need this, I
don't need that, but I need you.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
You know. It's really good. They sing it on him
one mic at the A C M s the mic
they got you one mic. Yeah. They were probably facing
each other, not bon Jovi style, whether or back to back.
They were facing each other.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
They were sitting down in chairs and just like that's
looking in each other's eyes.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I was like, whoa, I think they went home together.
I bet they did. That's saucy man. There you go.
Can you text him right now? I'm not going to,
but could you? Yeah? That's awesome. Can I have his number?
I promise I won't text him, dude, Can you do
me a favor? Can you do me a favor? Can

(27:33):
you do me a favor? No? No? Can you text
him and say, hey, Eddie wants your number? Can I
give it to him? No? Zero? Okay, okay? For my
birthday next year? I don't. I don't because what would
you do with this? Nothing? All I want is to
have it in my number. Why do I give you
a fake number? Because sometimes I go back home and

I'm like, yeah, look, I have tim across number.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Well, then just I'll just give you a number to
put in your If you're never going to text him,
what's the difference.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
I want to be honest, with him, and dude, how
cool would it be to have Tim McGraw's number. I
will do. I promise I will never text him. Then
why does it matter?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
If I give you a real number because I want
to have that number, then you'll text him.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
I will get wins the championship. It's Eddie congratulates. I
don't feel like I can do that. But can you
ask him? No? And if I don't even text him, dude,
if he says like no, no, no, no, no chance, then cool.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
I don't even text Tim McGraw maybe once a year
if something happens, I text Chesney more than I text McGraw.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
What do you guys talk about?

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well, nothing, honestly, Yeah, what do y'all talk about?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Let me pull out my text Chesney? So this is car, Look,
this is Chesney. And wow, that's a lot of conversation.
So it's some so wow, that's cool. But I don't
I promise I won't even have any of that. I promise,
I promise him, but I really, I'm telling you. I
swear to God I will never text him unless he

(29:15):
texts me first, Like, obviously, how is he going to
text you? He doesn't have your number?

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Do you think he's sitting somewhere going just give me
Eddie's number. I'd love to text Eddie.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
He'd never say that if I could just get Eddie's number.
But if you're ask him for it Eddie next time
he's in the studio. Okay, Can I do that? Will
you let me do that?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I can't stop you from doing that, But don't do
it when I'm around.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
I'd whether you're not. Hey, I fall into the bathroom, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim?
How would you ask timmigraw for his number?

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Dude, do you mind if I get your number? No way? Okay?
Or he's going to give you a number that's not his.
That would be the worst. Oh, that would hurt so bad.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Give you like his manager's number or something.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Why why do they? Why do you have his number?
You don't even use it and he gave you a
baby gift, like, you're not utilizing this friendship to the full.
What would I do with Tim McGraw. I'm sure you
guys have a lot in common. Name it. He goes
to the beach and spearfishes. That's awesome, dude, you're both jacked.
I'm not jacked. I'm just what does he do you

and then you hit me up with the secondary Gartha
drug dealer m or I was texting with the secondary,
