#651 - Nepo Babies, Overexposed Celebs & Artists Retiring Their Big Hits

On this episode of Current Stuff, Bobby and Eddie dive into one of the biggest debates in entertainment: nepo babies. Is having famous or wealthy parents the same thing? They break down the difference between privilege, talent, and opportunity while discussing celebrities from Taylor Swift to Jennifer Anniston. They also react to Megan Moroney ending a concert after just three songs, which celebrities are becoming overexposed and whether legendary artists should ever be allowed to retire their biggest hit songs.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hey, welcome to another episode where we're going to talk
about another artist getting sick and having to leave mid show.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
We're going to talk about blue dot fever a little bit.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
We're going to talk about nepotism in art, which I
think is where we'll start because it's been a really
weird week. We had Stella Lefty on this show on Tuesday,
So if you go back, if you're watching on Netflix,
go back a couple episodes. If you're listening, same thing.
And Stella Lefty is an artist that she's in her
young twenties. She has a song called Boston that is

(00:42):
a top three Billboard Hot one hundred song right now,
meaning all charts, not just country, but all charts. The
kind of amazing thing right now about that is you
have three country songs through at the top of that
all genre chart. You have Taylor with a song from
Toy Story five, which is a country song. I knew it,

(01:02):
I knew you. That maye me number two, but Ella
Langley and then Boston. So we had Stella Lefty on
and I thought she was extremely nice, so much fun.
We did an hour and fifteen minutes. I haven't told her, Hey,
I didn't know what you're gonna be like. And it
was one of those where I didn't know the artist
at all and hadn't heard much about them, so you

(01:24):
just never know.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
And also she's young.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
And a lot of these young artists don't have a
lot of life to have lived to have these stories.
So I posted the clips and it's great, except for
everybody was so hateful about the fact that her dad
is a billionaire. Now I'm gonna bring Eddie in here.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Eddie, good to see. I'm also a billionaire close, so
that's why you brought me on.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I brought you in at your intricate knowledge of being
a billionaire. So you know her dad's a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, he founded groupon Yes, And I found that out
later because yeah, every time I saw a clip of hers,
guess what, there was one being like, look, she's the
daughter of so and so I'm like, okay, whatever. So
I spent a little time with this. And I'm not
someone to defend rich people.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I really dislike rich people generally speaking, which isn't really
fair because now I kind of am rich, but I
didn't grow up with any money at all, so I
always felt resentful towards rich people. But what I'm about
to do is actually talk about nepotism in art and
what is and what isn't Because just because you have
a rich parent, that's not nepotism. Now, there are advantages

(02:31):
that you can have to being rich, But there are
many artists in Nashville right now that have wildly rich
parents that cannot get a hit.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Correct, you can't buy a hit.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
You can pay great producers, you can pay money to
get people in a room, a songwriting room. You can
pay for a lot of things. But you can't pay
for a hit because that means people have to connect
with it.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You can't pay for people to like people. Correct. Liability,
you can't pay for that.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
And so there are two that I think of now,
and I think one a little more than the other.
But Stella Lefty is not nepotism. Her dad is in
business and finance. Is she the daughter of somebody rich, Yeah, absolutely,
no doub about our.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
That's a billionaire.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
However, he can have all the connections in the world,
but he can't make her pop. He can give her
a decent shot to know the right people to get
in the right rooms. I mean, look at Taylor's dad.
Taylor's dad basically funded her early career in order to
get her started. Like Taylor Swift was the daughter of
a rich person.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Was he rich? Yeah? Okay, I didn't realize that. Yeah
they had money, Okay, NOI yeah, but but I mean
early on, I mean didn't they all move to nationality here?
And he still want to support her journey.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And my point is, you can be rich, you can
be poor if you don't have work ethic, you don't
have tenacity, you don't have eye the tiger, you don't
have creativity, you don't have all that, It's not gonna
work for you.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
They are multiple artists. I know.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now there are a couple whose parents have hundreds of
millions of dollars, even billions of dollars that cannot get
a hit. And they have used every connection possible. So
I would like to say Stella Lefty's success is not
that of nepotism.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I was surprised you went to Tulane. I'm be honest
with them. You thought she'd go to expensive college, yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Or like a really famous music school, or you know,
we had Vanessa Carlton and and she go to Berkeley.
I think so man, so many of those good musicians
you got to be really good or really richer. Sometimes
it's both, because you can only get so good if
you have the resources as a kid to get the
right lessons with the right person. My only point to
start this is people were being way too rude to

(04:43):
stell a lefty once. You also can't really change who
she was born to.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Does it make a difference to start a career when
you have money, I mean to me, it does give
you a kickstart above everyone else. When you can afford
to pay for a producer, pay for a record to
be made. I would say it's more than that.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
You can afford to have the time to do it,
So it's way more than even getting in the right
rooms and paying for producers. I would say mostly there's
no middle class with artists who moved to Nashville. It's
other people that come here poor and they got to
work their face off, work in three jobs. But again,
they have such an anger and a passion and the

(05:23):
love and nothing's going to stop them, and they're waiting
tables and they're babysitting and while they're also doing their music.
That's the kind of person that chases a creative vocation
and the person that has a ton of money because
they can just do whatever they want, and they have
all the time and resources to have great teachers as

(05:43):
a kid, to be able to move here and live
somewhere comfortably, to not be able to work, to just
do their music, to go and play shows. And because
when you're playing shows early on, you're making fifty bucks
a night.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
If that and you have another job, a full time job,
you don't have to do it.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
If you're rich, you come from money, you don't have
to worry about money.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
You can just take a fifty bucks yeah, and play
your shows. And I think that's where a lot of
the to use your term lower class musician status get
a little upset with the NEPO babies. And you're right
in this case, she's not a NEPO.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Baby's a rich dad. It's not a nepo as somebody
that's in the industry.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Or Dan Job Dylan's son NEPO baby.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
And we can talk about I have a whole list
of NEPO babies, and I have another NEPO baby that
I'm a fan of, and like.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
People try to do this with her too, as is
a gratias awesome. I think she's awesome, And I see
her on TV right after her dad's movie is being previewed.
I'm like, they are dominating the entertainment world together and
I love it.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
And also he is was wildly creative, a little bit
that Gene's just gonna get passed down to the kid too.
I don't want to be sick enough for rich people.
This is not something I'm good at, but I felt
like the hate towards her was unfair.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, so I have people.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
That you could say have used nepotism to their advantage.
Number One, Dakota Johnson. Now this isn't all music. Some
music somes acting big time.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Dakota Johnson. She's the kids of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffin. No, yeah,
you know you're right? Is that right? I thought she
was married to Antonio Benderris. That's not her dad, right,
Don Johnson is Yeah, Okay, okay, but those are the
Antonio and Don Johnson worked together.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
What I'm saying her parents Dakota Johnson's parents are Don
Johnson from Miami Vice.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, and Melanie Griffin okay, and then they weren't together anymore,
and than then you got divorced and stuff. Okay. Yeah,
like am I thinking of the same person, But okay,
I got it.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
There's a movie called rebel Ridge on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh. I thought you're gonna say the Fifty Shades of Gray, Like,
I know.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, she's in that, but that rebel Ridge has Don
Johnson is a bad guy in it.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's so good. It is a bad Yeah, he was
even Like, I know, he played a cool guy in
Miami Vice, but you kind of hated it because he
was so cool. I didn't. I didn't watch the show.
I was too young. Yeah, I was this eighties. Eighties. Yeah,
I mean I was little, but I mean I would
watch it and be like, ah, come on, next up
Jack Quaid. Okay, do you know who Jack Quaid is?

(08:19):
I do. But Jack Quade's a guy that I see
on the screen and say, he looks familiar. Oh, he
looks like Dennis Quaid.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
So Jack Quaite's from the Boys and Jack Quaid isn't
a really great movie I'll watch called Companion.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, he's amongst other.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Things, but he is a kid of Dennis Quaid and
Meg Ryan.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I know they were married. They were and then emm divorce.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
But I think there's a point too where sure, Nepotism
can play a part, but it can only get you
so far. Like we could watch the screen and go
that dude sucks or that dude is awesome.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I feel like Jack Quaite's a really good actor. He
is a good actor, and you know what, you can't
I think that like movie producers, aw so wait for them,
you know, Like I mean, Dennis Quait's awesome. Meg Ryan
was a huge star. Their kid has to be have
some talent, so I'm sure they look out for him. Like,
are they gonna pursue acting, because I'd like to see
what they're all about.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, I think they go, I know their mom and dad,
I'm gonna give them a shot.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
In an audition.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
I mean, that's where the nepotism gets annoying. It's because
people are getting advantages because of the relationships of their
parents within the industry that other people don't get.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Because they don't know them.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, it's it's it's relationships.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, because nepotism isn't always about money. It just so happens.
A lot of rich people are famous or rich connections. Yeah,
but it's connections. Yeah. Next up Maya Hawk. Yeah that's
Ethan Hawk and Uma Thurman's kid next day and she's
she's a really good actress. Lily Collins, Yeah she is.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
She she's Peari right, she's Emily and Paris is she?
I think all the Clins is Emily in Paris, right, yes?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
And I have no idea she is. So I was
gonna make a joke that it's Terry Collins and was
he a quarterback for the Giants?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Who is the Kerry the Giants?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
But I don't know who she is? Who is she?

Speaker 1 (10:15):
So massive show? It's Emily and Paris, But originally it
was supposed to be called Emily and Peerie and rhyme.
But we are super.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
American, we are we ruined.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
That she's the daughter of Phil Collins. Oh okay, okay,
but she's wildly famous. I think we've just aged out
of that age celebrity being cool to us. And also
we don't watch Emily and Paris. Kate Hudson, Yeah that is.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's what's her name, Goldiehan. I'm gonna help you well,
Goldie Han. But I don't know who her dad is.
I don't know. It doesn't matter, you know, to have
you both, Yeah, but sometimes like when it's both, it's
like power NEPO.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
So Kate Hudson great, Yeah, but also had advantages connections.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Sure, but she kind of proved herself.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, but what's annoying is they have a chance to
prove themselves. They grow up around people that can make
them better because they're around elite the whole time and
they have the connections.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah. Zoe Kravitz, Yeah, that's Lenny Kravitz. And I don't know.
I don't know her mom.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
You do?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh? Was she? And you got it? Hang? Get a
TV show?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, a great TV show that has been tragically canceled.
And the show was great, Oh, one of the finer sitcoms.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Of all times. Somebody ruined the show. Somebody ruined the show.
We'd probably still be watching it today. It'd be on
reruns like crazy. That's the Cosmy Show.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, Lisa bone Wow, Okay, So Zoe Kravitz mom is
Lisa Bonet.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Her dad's Lenny Kravitz. She's good. Zoe Kravitz is a
good actress. All these people are awesome. Colin Hanks, Yeah, see,
Colin Hanks is Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's kid. But
here's the thing, I feel like he's still trying to
prove himself. He's in a lot of stuff, but he
hasn't popped off as that artist that everyone thinks that
he should be because he's one of the greatest actors

(12:04):
of all time. Son, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I feel like Colin Hanks is hit hard, Mike, I
would say, but if your dad is Tom Hanks, like
it's hard to live up to that.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
It's a good point.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I have like an iconic role like anything compared to
Tom Hanks. But he's a good actor, has had a
lot of success.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Who does right, you know, you're right there? Who is
the Tom Hanks? Nobody, No, you're right, he's I mean
the Chris Pratt. I mean there's like four that you
would say a generation below.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Man, I would feel like his brother, Like, isn't there
a brother chat? So that's an example of Tom Hanks
is so famous. Chet Hanks is in music.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Can't really get it to work, can't do it Like
I'm not saying he isn't talented, but he's tried multiple
things as a rapper, an they're doing the country thing now.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
He's doing a little acting too. He's in that Netflix
show Running point.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's pretty good in that so there's a good example
of NEPO the whole thing for you. Scott Eastwood, Yeah,
that's Clint Eastwood Son. He's good man. What did I
see him in? Oh? Is he uh a superhero?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I don't know. But he's a good actor.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Patrick Schwarzenegger, who I watched in White.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Lotus, White Lotus, Man, he's so good.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Obviously he's Arnold and Maria Shriver's kid.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Uh. Keifer Sutherland baby, Oh that's right, Donald Sutherland's son.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
We forget because Donald Sutherland is either really old or dead.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I believe he's dead. I'd hate to kill him if
he wasn't. But yeah, but I think he was one
hundred or so yeaheah, he was old. Man. It was
crazy about Donald Sutherlands and Kirk Douglas Is. These guys
were black and white actors. He did the pictures. Yeah,
you're looking through me like that's crazy. He lived during
the picture days.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
He was eight.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, Well, would I take back the hundred? We wanted
him to be a hundred. Charlie Sheen, Yes, Martin Sheen's son,
Jennifer Aniston mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
So these that I put on the list here are NEPO,
but I needed a little help. I think her dad,
who is John Aniston, was old school.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Too, okay, actor like producer.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I think an actor because when I looked up, I
just did a I did three different AI searches on
Nepple babies, and Jennifer Aston.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Came up on all of them.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
And John Aniston, you see anything about him?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
He was an actor.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
He was on Days of Our Lives, you know what,
not full NEPO. Be honest, No, I mean I bet
he tried his best and they were like, all right, no,
trust me. My daughter's really good.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Would you consider Rashida Jones a neo baby?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you know that Quincy Jones' daughter? Yes, an entertainment baby.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
She was in the office. She also was in that
show that was in Japan. It was really good on Apples. Yeah,
Sonny Sonny was really good. Until the end, it was okay,
it got kind of weird, but it was great premise,
great premise.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
You think she's NEPO, Yeah, yeah, because I mean Quincy
Jones was so connected, not just music. I'm sure he
was Hollywood La music. Those guys all run in the
same circle. So yeah, Gwyneth Paltrow big time. Her dad
was I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
I don't know her parents, and I have their names,
and she it says she is, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I want to say one's an actor, one's a producer.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
So Bruce Paltrow, don't that's her dad, Bruce. Yeah, and
her mom is Blithe Danner.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, and she was an actress.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
They just sound like old school gone with the Wind people.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah. But but you're right. I think without that power dynamic,
there would be no Gwyneth Poutro. I don't think some
interesting ones. Nick Cage, Francis Ford, Coppola's Yes, George Clooney,
mom nephew of Rosemary Clooney. Yeah, if you're a nephew,

(15:57):
it's like mid nepo mid nepo. Yeah. But I've seen
movies of hers, and she's a black and white actress.
Do crazy how she looks like him or he looks
like her? O? J. Jackson mm hmm ice Cube Son, Yeah,
we saw him. We met him in La rich Isisen studio.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
He ate his podcast in this Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, it's crazy how much he looks like ice Cube
in the movie. Yeah, and did a great job too.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Okay, music, it's gonna offend some people. Okay, Hank Williams Junior.
I mean that is get no more NEPO than Hank.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
That is the definition of NEPO.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Now, has he proven himself over and over? That's never
That's never the question. Have they proven themselves? The NEPO
part of it is did they have an unfair advantage?
According to some that did not have the same advantage? Yes,
Hank Jr.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
And And and even if his name was Eddie Eddie Williams,
that would have been a little tougher too, like for
instead of Hank the same I mean it was he
was Hank Williams Junior. He was the carbon copy of
his dad with the same name. And and your dad's dead,
So you want something that's no longer there. There you go,
we got a son. Miley. Yeah, big time NEPO.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
I feel like she she got the luxury of being
the NEPO, but then also somehow her dad got to
be the renepot. Yeah, like he was able to get
her and then he kind of fell off, and then
she was able to bring him each other.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Do you know their story? Like like obviously Billy Ray
was the nineties country guy, but then did she did
he help her get her Hannah Montana career going, because
I feel like, I don't know. I know it takes
money to have to go move, go to l A.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I get No, I don't know well enough to sit
here and proclaim that I do.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
But Jacob Dylan was one you mentioned earlier. That's a
big one.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
So I'm gonna kind of say maybe.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, because he made it a point to he wanted
people to not bring up his dad when he was
trying to come up, so he was not using the
last name Dylan. He could have easily been just Jacob Dylan,
but he started a band called The Wallflowers, and it
took a little bit of research for us to even like,
did you know that that's Bob Dylan's son.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Now, there are still the advantages of you get to
be a rock star, and part of not making it
is it's hard to survive because rock stars don't make
any money the first years. But if you have money,
you don't have to worry about that part of it.
But yeah, Enrique is.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Julio Glacis, Oh, yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Now I've done rich artists. This is not the same
as NEPO.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Not NEPO. This is unfairly. You have the luxury of
not having to worry about life. You just get to
pursue your art. That's it.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
But maybe without the connections, that's it.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Taylor Swift Okay, I didn't know that was news to me.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Her father was a financial advisor who relocated the family
to support her entire career. Wealth helped provide opportunities, though
not connections. So Taylor's not a NEPO kid.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, because they're not famous.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Taylor is just somebody that had the resources to just
focus on music only.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Ariana Grande family was rich in Florida.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
It's like what they the Grande the Grande Communications.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, her parents owned a successful graphic design business. Oh wow, cool,
Lady Gaga.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Pretty rich.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
He was raised on Manhattan's Upper West Side by successful entrepreneurs.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Wow. I wouldn't have thought that.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Julian Cosablancas from The Strokes and your father founded the
Elite modeling agency.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, so he was really rich growing.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Man, you imagine like being friends with him and he
wants to he wants you to be in his band. Yes,
because of all the models, the money, Like, oh we're
good to go, man, we got we got all the
cash we need.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
And then the other one in that category of rich
but not NEPO is Adam Levine.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I didn't know he was rich.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, his dad, fred founded the retail clothing chain M Frederick,
which became a successful boutique business southern California.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
That a bunch of money.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
There's a difference in rich and NEPO.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Absolutely. My only point with this is Stelle lefty, not NEPO,
not neo rich yep.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
And also even in music, if you are pure NEPO
and rich, you still can't force it.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
But I do understand. I understand why anyone would think like, oh,
that's a little unfair because it feels like it's unfair
because they have an advantage, they have a head start
above everyone else. But you know what, Life isn't fair, amen, brother,
Life is not fair, amen. And I'm not arguing that
it is not unfair that some people just generally in life.

(20:35):
I listen, I'd like to be an NBA basketball player,
but it's unfair that I'm not six foot ten. Correct,
it's unfair that I'm not Shaquille o'niel's son.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
I would have thought I wanted to be Shack. You
want to be a son.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
We have different goals and ask hey, what about like
athlete NEPO babies.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I don't really think a connection helps you there. Genetics
helps you a lot, big Ti and also imagine you're Steph, right,
and so neptizat didn't help Steph at all. But his
dad's Del Curry and he is around Gym's.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
His whole life. Yeah, yeah, one.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
He has a genetics. He works extremely hard, so we're
not questioning that. But you get to be around it
as a kid, to be around the best.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
A good one is Patrick Mahomes two talks a lot
about you know, his dad was a bas for the Cubs. Yeah,
pitch for the Cubs, So locker rooms were normal to him.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
You know where it It's in money, and if you're
a professional athlet you have money, Yeah, to have resources, materials.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
You think about like your first time in professional sports
and you show up to the locker room and you're
just intimidated by what's going on there. Not of you
were raised there, not of you are, like, they're your
whole life, just like another day, no problem. Same with
King Griffey Junior.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, and his dad played together. They played in the
same outfield that's the Mariners. So I'm gonna look at
the camera and say this, stell Lefty is not someone
who is using nepotism to her advantage. Just because your
parents rich does not mean there's nepotism involved. You also
can't force somebody music to connect with folks.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Say whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
But all the people in my comments going nepo baby,
nepo baby, you're all morons. If you said rich kid,
fair enough, But there are so many rich kids in
music that are taking advantage of their parents being rich
that they move to town and try music. I ain't
seeing you comment on theirs. Hers just happens.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
To be public.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Clip that, and clip that of me going, clip that,
and then clip that of me going, clip that of
me going clip that.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
It never ends? Yes, of me, clip that. I have
a question, Yes, Brandon, all right.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
So my grandma granny rest in peace. Yeah, no, Hey,
this has to do with the Quads. My granny was
Dennis and Randy Quaid's babysitter in Houston. Okay, So would
that in some way make me a nepo baby sitter?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Interesting if she ended up getting you into the career
of babysitting celebrity. Then she only was able to get
you that connection through her connections, you would have been
an ne bo babysitter.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's correct. Yeah, dude, Yeah, it's a great question.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
We appreciate you for not using that advantage though never
because you definitely could hang tight.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the
Bobby Cast.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Let's talk about blue dot fever for a second. Something
we've talked about on the show. Basically, it just means
people aren't selling me tickets, and it's happening all over.
It's for a couple of reasons. Mostly it's the tickets
are way too expensive.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I saw a chart of a Ludacris show. It was ludicrous,
Big X, the Plug and some others I think, and
this was an arena. It looked like forty tickets were sold.
Oh it was the bluest of blue dot that I've
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Wow, So that sucked. Suck.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I saw Casey Musgrave's canceled a couple of shows and
they were the second shows on her tour, meaning she
did two in a city and she had to peel
some back. Got it, And they're not saying that's what
it is, but they're not not saying that's what it is.
But I kind of want to just say everybody struggling
selling tickets unless you're Morgan Wallen or Luke Comb's or

(24:15):
Zach Bryan. And I'm not just talking about country music.
Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Taylor Swift's a good one that are doing these football stadiums.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's really hard to sell a ticket. Yeah, everybody's out hustling.
Tickets have gotten so expensive, and not just the tickets,
the fees, and at times these promoters have it all
wrapped in as far as ticket prices, and.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Then you don't get me starting a dynamic ticket ticket pricing.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
But the thing about that with Blue Dot is that
doesn't come into effect a lot because if tickets aren't selling,
prices don't go up. Because the dynamic part is if
everything sells, it's like buying a flight. If the plane's
almost empty, those last few seats are pretty expensive.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
So what's up with the scalpers? Are the scalpers not
even buying? The economy is bad for everybody? Body? Wow,
Even discovers like I can't do it, even the scalpers. Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Garth is selling out shows and he does his completely
different First of all, he priced every ticket the same,
at like one hundred and fifty bucks a plane.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean, which is a lot for a ticket.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
It's a lot just generally speaking, and maybe we're just
comparing it to when we were younger, but it's a
lot for a ticket. However, it's not for a massive
act and he's playing arenas. And what Garth does that
I love is that he'll just announce one show, you
know it's going to sell out in seconds, and then
he'll go second.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Show and everyone gets there. It sells out of.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Seconds, third show, and one city at a time.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Even though he probably planned three nights.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
For sure, but again only one city at a time too.
It's not a full here's every city we're doing. I
love how Garth does that. And I like that all
the tickets are one price. I don't think there are
the fees are on there, but a lot of these promoters,
I should say, I don't think that there are fees
added to that. I think that's all in a lot
of these promoters. Though they own the parking, they own them. Yes,

(26:00):
they want the ticket price, they have it all, Yeah,
so they can kind of dictate what everybody's paying. But
I think this blue Dot fever is mostly because people
are exhausted of expensive concerts.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
I mean, it's just a weird time right now with
people on their money. Like I know that even in
my family, we have to think twice sometimes talk about
it three four times before we even think about going
to go see The Odyssey. And I'm ax, like, do
we want to pay that much to go see a
movie in a movie theater?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
You do have Swiss family Robinson for a family though,
do you get the reference?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
No, but I have lots of kids. Hey, let me
do a different reference. You do have Johnny K plus eight. Yeah,
I got that one. Yeah, dude, that's awesome. We have
to think about it. A good example was Bruno Mars
coming too Nashville, right football Stadium, by the way, football Stadium,
and the whole family wants to go. Even my wife's like, hey,
everybody wants to go. Did you know we looked at

(26:54):
prices where like, there's just no way that we can
do that six of us going to a concert. You
would think two.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
With the seating in a football stadium, there would be
some seats that would be really cheap, but there were
not really.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, and it's just that time, and
I feel for artists that are trying to, you know,
make money right now, it's a weird time.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Post Malone and Jelly Roll had to cut a lot
of those early shows because they weren't selling as well
as they had hoped they would. And then there are
shows and I had heard that it was Post Malone
and Jelly Roll, but I don't know this for sure.
They have a thing called papering, where if shows are
selling well enough to not cancel, but they're not selling
so much that it doesn't look weird, they'll just start

(27:38):
giving out tons and tons of tickets to get people there,
so then it's still selling a little and there'll still.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Be a lot of people there because they're giving out
the free tickets. That's my theory with the NFL games
that overseas know they paper them, they start giving tickets
out all over town, all over London.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
I think it'd be kind of fun if Yeah, you're
probably right, though I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
It just feels like, Wow, that's a lot of football
fans in London, But are there really a lot of
football fans in London?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I feel like they just passed out jerseys outside the
stadium because they're wearing every team jersey like the Vikings.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
They ain't playing right. Why the fifth of these people
were in Vikings jerseys. Megan Maroney had to end a
show earlier this week three songs in, oh, three songs in.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
So she was playing in Denver. She got three songs in.
She told the crowd she could not give them the
show they deserve. She posted on her Instagram hours later
apologizing rescheduled the date, which is what's nice about it
is it's pretty close. Sometimes they do this and they
can't get back in the Yeah venue, so sometimes it's
a year out. But the rescheduled dates. August twenty seventh,

(28:40):
she wrote, this was the hardest decision ever had to make.
I'm quite literally bawling my eyes out in the dressing
room and it hurts me so much, disappoint you all.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I've never had to do this, and I'm truly so sorry.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
It was tough to watch because there's that decision and
I've had to do it when doing stand up.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Where you're going.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
One, can I get through a whole show? But can
I also get through a whole show show? And the
people out there don't think that they wasted all their money,
and you don't want to cancel because they just got babysitters.
They just sometimes drove in for two three hours. Sometimes
they got a hotel room. And if you do have
to reschedule, they just lost that money. Yeah, and then

(29:16):
you lost the money because you had to get there.
You have to pay for all your travel to get there,
and then you have to weigh it. And I think
she probably waited, thought she could do it, got out there,
and I'll say this.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
I tipped the all hat to her. This is a tattip.
I don't know have a hat tip of Cas goes perfect.
That she got a few songs in and didn't just go,
let's just fight through it.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
And count this as a check mark show that she
said we'll come back because she lost money doing that.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Dude, it is so unfair to just try to make
it healthy with every single show. I mean, how many
shows did they play a year? They play so many
shows and you have that one show where you're I'm
just not feeling good. You have no choice in the matter.
Your voice just isn't there. And I love that she

(30:04):
tried to do it. She tried to do three songs
and try to, you know, fight it out, but what
can you do. It's so not fair and it's unfortunate
for everyone involved.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Why I was so unselfish of her is that she
could have canceled the show right before. She could have
gone yeah, and everybody would have gone home and people
would have lost some money, like we talked about babysitter hotels,
et cetera. She thought maybe I can pull it off.
She tried, and it's the same thing. Had she canceled,

(30:33):
they're still going to get to come another show. And
they got to watch three songs and watch her like
that's better than nothing.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
They got to see her at least, and.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
It's not better than nothing, as if that's all they got.
They're going to get another show. Yeah, and you just
saw that she wanted to try to make it work.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Do people get their refund? Like if they decide they
can't make it when she comes back around, can you
just get a full refund for that show? It depends.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
It'd be nice if they all were like that. So
some artists will release refund that's really the kind of
integrity thing to do. Some will go refund at point
of purchase, so you go to wherever you bought it,
get your refund. Some just go we're gonna issue tickets
for a later date, which means they're gonna all the
money stays with them. Yeah, and they're just gonna give

(31:16):
you tickets for a different date.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Then you figure it out and sell the tickets or not.
You can go wherever. Some will do either, which is nice.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Okay, get your tickets, but if you can't come, get
a refund and we'll resell those tickets.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Man. I remember there was a show we didn't know Passo,
I remember, and I was having some stomach issues and
I was like, I don't know if we should do this.
But then we went out and then I had to
go to the bathroom mid show, and I told you,
but we didn't tell the rest of the band. And
then I was like, dude, don't tell anyone, but I'm
going to go use the bathroom. So you guys kept playing,
and then somewhere in the middle, when I was in

(31:47):
the bathroom, I heard you saying, guys, you know where
read he is. He's in the bathroom pooping. Oh man,
I'm sorry you told everyone. I don't like that version
of me. And then I had to come out and
be like, I'm back. Guys do not like that version
of me, and I'd like to apologize.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
So problem man, celebrities that are overexposed right now?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Ooh, So I have a list of three for sures
in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
But before I give you my three, I wonder who
comes to mind for you if I said overexposed celebrity.
Now what you guys don't know if you're listening or watching.
Eddie has no idea what I'm gonna toss at him.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
So he didn't have time to plan for this, and
mostly it wasn't because we didn't have a meeting, but
Eddie was editing videos for a different thing right until
five seconds before we started.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
This, and we never have meetings, and we never have
meetings with the Medieah yeah, yeah, uh dude, funny. The
first thing that comes to mind, the first name is
Timothy Shallamy. He didn't make my list, but I can
hear you go ahead to me. It's just like he
is everywhere and I'm a little tired of seeing him
and it's not fair to him. But like I think
the best of the NBA Championships Finals had something.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
To do with it.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Oh, Wow, I didn't think about that. He was at
every single game. Then you get on TikTok and he's
all over TikTok, you know, because people are taking pictures
with him or vide It's not fair, but he is everywhere. Yeah,
I guess over exposure.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
For you to feel that someone is, you kind of
have to be annoyed by them, because if you just
like someone and they're out there a lot, that's just
someone being out there a lot.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I guess I'm not annoyed by him. But also, you're
a Spurs fan, and I think that affected how you
feel about him because he's a Knicks fan.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah. I would put Ben Still in all that too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, I was wondering why you're affected by Timothy Chellam.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I got it. Now you're okay, Spike leagu get out
of here. You're Spurs fans. I got it. Uh.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
When he was doing the Marty Supreme promotion, he was
doing a lot of podcasts, like sports podcasts, and he
was making the rounds. That was cool because he's an
A list star. He is, but I could see if
you didn't like him for a reason. We found your reason.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
The nick that could be considered overexposure. I'll accept it.
I don't feel the same way, but I accept it.
Another one to me is I'll do two in one
is Taylor Travis. So I have Travis Kelsey down, not Taylor,
just Travis.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I think Taylor is beyond being overexposed.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
She lives overexposed.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I think Taylor is just so famous that even if
she hit out for three months, hers, something about her
would still be existing everywhere all the time.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
I think she has became.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
She's gone from exposed to overexposed.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
To she just exists. And if you don't like it,
sucks for you. She's Taylor Swift yep. But Travis Kelcey
for sure. Okay, that's a good one. And again it's
not his fault.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
But like.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
He just married Taylor Swift. I mean, look at his shirts.
He is living his best life. He hit the jackpot.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
He wanted to be famous, he had a reality show,
he did a dating reality show himself, he did. His
goal was to be famous, not just to do sports,
but and he hit the jackpot with that, and God
bless him.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Definitely overexposed, though, Uh, I'm gonna do another athlete, Tom Brady. Oh, now,
Tom Brady That's a great point because Tom Brady is
starting to not be the.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Guy we hold up to go, this is the greatest quarterback,
greatest competitor, are super champion. Now it's here's the guy
who won the most super Bowls.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
But a little bit of the douchebag. Yeah, what's what?
Did he just punch that guy? Or push it?

Speaker 3 (35:27):
What did he do?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Do you push logan for? Uh? Yeah, but it does
fake I understand. But it's just like one of those
things like what is Tom It's almost every time I
see Tom Brady on my social media, it's like, what's
he doing?

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Like?

Speaker 1 (35:38):
And the thing is he's not really a douchebag, but
we have kind of a boner against him because he's
so good looking. Okay, yeah, there's just a lot of
great Yeah he's had it all rich, but he was
quiet for a long time.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Oh he did was play football, I know, championship.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Because there was mystery surrounding him that elevated him even more.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
That's why I think there is so much power to mystery.
Only if you're so.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Good, though, because if you're not the most elite and
you're mysterious, you're not mysterious because nobody cares.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
You're just kin heard of. Okay, I see that, But
like Johnny Depp, we don't know much weird, but we
don't know much about him.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Okay, but he also is so a list that you
can be mysterious. But I don't know he's so weird.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
I don't know. Did you watch the his his trial? No, dude,
that was awesome. No, because that was the first time
I felt like, oh, okay, we weren't watching him make
a movie, we weren't watching him act. We were watching
him just be Johnny Depp, and he was still like
he was acting. Was he weird? Oh? Dude, it was awesome.
He's like, so I drank how much wine do I drink?

(36:42):
I drink a lot of wine? Like he was just
it was almost like he was playing another character. So
but to that point, we still don't know who he is.
I feel like I know who he is weird. Keanu
Reeves do you know who he is? Awesome? Dude? No,
just a kind guy who does movies I like. And
he's kind of overly exposed because he's all over the place.
Do you feel like Keano's overexposed? I think people expose him. Yeah,

(37:05):
they take pictures of him like feeding a homeless man.
Or is that overexposed when people find you doing good
stuff and you're not purposefully out Because there is that,
there's the Keano memes and the Keanu is the greatest
guy ever. He's like helping someone jumps out of a car,
but he's not out purposefully doing that, right, He's not
giving mouth to mouth to the old person with the
PR team watching. He's doing it because he's saving an
old guy. So do you think Travis Kelcey is purposely pring? Yeah?

(37:29):
Of course he's not just going at doing game shows.
He's Adam Sandler. He's doing it.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Also, his podcast doesn't help him because it's very popular
and successful. Like sometimes overexposure is not negative or because
you're doing something bad. It could be because you're doing something.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
So good that you're everywhere. To that point, you brought
up Adam Sandler. Uh did you see did you hear
the video? The call that he called nine one one
at or.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Was four to one one was a non emergency line
looking for a bastball court is real?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah? I think so. And he called.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
We will not slander Adam Sandler. We will not slander
Adam Sandler.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
I'm asking you a question. So you heard the audio,
so you could just call the non emergency line and
ask like, is there a place to the ball here?
Like I like to play basketball? I believe.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
So it's not an emergency and you're asking something about
the functionality of the city. I think that's exactly what
he was doing.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
And you're not doing that to get attention, because you
could just google city parks with basketball hoops.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I don't think I have a good answer to that,
because I think i'd probably google it first, and maybe
he did so.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Then he just went to the non emergency line and
talk to a human. Yeah, okay, I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Cird you would hang on to that as a negative
dang hater.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
It was surprising to me that he had called an
operator to Did he say I was Adam Sandler? Did
he say that? I don't think he said he was
Adam Sandler, but I don't remember. You could just tell
from the way I want to. Do you think Adam
Sandler's overexposed? Yes? Oh I do. I love him so much.
I love him so much. I don't you can't for me.

(39:07):
I don't have any negative so, and does he does
he really play that much pickup and with colored shirts,
because he's ever with collar shirts and long shorts. I
only know that because I just hear people say that
and do interviews where they go Adam Sandler plays basketball
all the time. And I don't hate on Adam Sandler.
I really like Adam Sandler. It's just funny to me
that he's kind of everywhere playing basketball in public.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
So other three I had Travis Kelsey here. The other
two that I had Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't know. Is she overexposed
or just working a lot? A fine line? Okay, sure,
So what do you think about that? I do see
her everywhere and then she's is she with Scooter Braun?
That kind of helps a little bit with the overexposure
and never TMS's covering your every move fat Yeah. But

(39:57):
other than that, I kind of feel like she's just
working and when I see like her in a movie,
she's just doing well for herself. What movies has she
been in? There was one that I saw where she's
like a boxer. I don't watch that one, but I
know the one you're talking about. Yeah, I didn't watch either, Mike,
you didn't watch it either no, no, no, I'm how

(40:17):
do you say that? I saw? Yeah, I saw that
there was a movie where she played a boxer where
it didn't look anything like her. Was that good? Mike
is all right? I didn't watch it for you. She's
in that mm hm.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Last season was this year.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
But she's main character, right, one of the main and
it has been for a long time because that made
her famous though, right, I did watch a movie where
that she was great in. So this is not all
Sidney Sweeney hate.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
It's not even hated at all.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I don't think any of this is I know it's
the movie where she was the one who leaked the information.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Oh yeah, and as he looks up the name of
it she was working. I think she might have a
military and it's a true story. Yeah. Reality, it's called
reality is great. You so you watch? Yeah, I watched
the whole Yeah. Yeah. When I say I watched something,
just you watched the preview. It's called reality. Yeah, it
was really great twenty twenty three. Wow, I watched it

(41:14):
on HBO and she's the main character. Yeah, would you
read me?

Speaker 3 (41:17):
The synopsis of the movie says, a former American intelligence
specialist is given the long sentence for the unauthor unauthor
unauthorized release of government information to the media about Russian interference.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
In twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Is that it sounds good to me selections versus an
email operation.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
She was so good in it. I think she's a
good actress and she ugled herself up for it. Yeah,
I mean, like the boxing movie. Is that what she
did for that one? Dude? I mean, she's it doesn't
look like her at all, Like I really, I think
I was at a movie watching some other movie in
the preview came out and I kept thinking, like that,
she looks familiar. I don't know who that is though,
And then at the end it was like Sidney Sweeney,

(41:55):
Sidney Tweeny's ugly twin. You know, there's always a.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
The Bobby cast will be right back, Welcome back to
the Bobby cast.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
The other one is in country music ella mm hmm.
Having a lot of success. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I wouldn't say she's overexposed though, but she's having so
much success where I could see that would be something
that could be guessed.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Oh no, it's not. NEPO.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
I would say you could have said overexposed. Just independent
of the recent controversy Oh.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Is it Morgan Wallen? M hm, wow, success.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
I would say Morgan Wallan's not really that exposed. He's
playing massive shows, but he kind of kept his head down.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
You're right, he's not working. There isn't a lot out
off the stage other than him break almost breaking his ankle. Well,
the phone, remember money through the phone on the phone. Yeah,
are you talking about jelly Roll? Yeah? Yeah, way over
exposed but kind of hiding a little bit.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
But but the fact that Bunny is doing her thing
and their divorce, Yeah, you can't hide whenever you're in
the news every second.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Have you.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I haven't seen much of him though since the divorce
was announced. I seen on social media sometimes you do,
but I don't know. And then I saw their daughter
come out and say something.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
If she told the world what she knew about the divorce,
the internet would crumble, right.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
And then I saw Bunny come back and be like,
come on, you guys are learning this out of proportion.
It's not what she really meant. Do you see Bunny
spend five hundred thousand dollars on a Rolls voice four
after divorce day? She's going hard. I feel like jelly
roll overexposed. Yeah, yeah, would you agree with that one? Yeah,
I would agree with that guys.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Yeah, definitely had the World Cup song and everything.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yeah, he's everywhere.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
And again fine line between working hard, yeah, and being overexposed.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
I mean, honestly, I think that's kind of what they
work for too, right to be overexposed.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
When I was working in pop radio and a little
bit now in country, but I don't what music do
we listen to while we're doing the show?

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Almost No, No, we don't. We don't hear any We
don't play that much.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
We tossed to it and then yeah, maybe it's a
couple times an hour, but especially in pop radio, you know,
the same songs to play every hour and a half
or so, and people would say, man, I hate it.
These artists have to hate that their songs get played.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
All the time.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
I no, of the goal is to get overexposed, to
have a song so big. People get annoyed by that's
what they were working for, because that means like it's
a monster.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Yeah, and then they go through that period right of
where they're like, I'm kind of tired of playing that song. Gosh,
well that takes me to our next thing. Should Legacy
artists be able to retire a song. I mean how
you phrased it. I mean I think anyone should be
allowed to do whatever they want to do, obviously, right, Okay, However,

(44:43):
I think it would be extremely selfish and rude for
the rest of us to never play that song.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
A Yet the band that I can think of and
they play it I think a little bit now, and
it's not country.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Did they just stop playing their biggest hit?

Speaker 5 (45:00):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
We've talked about this for sure, now you know it.
You're just not coming to your mind right now. British Oasis,
oh oh yeah, Radiohead, Yeah, and that's their biggest song
and they've just chosen not to play it and they'll
occasionally play it. Now. I've seen Radiohead twice and they
did not play that song.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Really, it'd be disappointing to go to a major artist
show and they not play their biggest song. But if
you know what ahead of times they're not gonna play it,
it's not as disappointing because they're just saying we're not
gonna play it, so you're not waiting on it.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, but I have these artists and so.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Let's pick the artist and what song can they not replace?

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Okay, like this is their staple song. They have to,
they have to. They can't replace the song. Garth Brooks
friends in low places, like, I know, it's probably hard
to play that every night, and yeah, I'll say the
same and even like to own that that's your biggest song.
It's probably hard for an artist because I'm sure they're
so proud of other songs that mean way more to them,

(46:00):
that they love way more. But then everyone else loves
that song. He's got to play that, George Strait.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
Your personal pick, because I Garth, that wouldn't have been
a personal.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Pick, but we'll do personal pick. That personal pick.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Yeah, song that you will not allow them to retire
because you love it so much.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
George Strait, I like that, George straight check yes or no.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Mine's gonna be so cliche after I say that about Garth,
Mine is so cliche about George Strait, my morning.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
It's the most cliche. I don't even think George would
ever think about and never play that song.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
I think these guys have a relationship with success.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
That is, holy crap, I'm successful. Oh man, do I
have to?

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Oh man, I'm so lucky. This song has lasted so long.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
I love it again. Those are the stages of those
of the big songs. Yes, the Rolling Stones, ooh, Personal,
Beast of Burden, Good, I'm gonna go painted black? Yeah.
Now the real one is Satisfaction. Satisfaction, right, I mean

(47:05):
that would be that. I bet that's the one they've
talked about a hundred times, like, do we really need
to play Satisfaction? Personal? Though? Ye? Do? And awesome? Have
them live, dude, they're so good. Do they have hair?
They all still have their playing in the back for them,
That's what they say. But when I went to the show,

(47:26):
my seats were so high, I looked for him. I
didn't see anyone back there. They could be playing underneath
the stage. I'm not there. I don't know what band.
I saw one band. I want to say it was
the Killers. It was a band like that, The Killers,
something along those lines where there was a guy behind
the amp with a little you know, you know how

(47:47):
the orchestra they have the sheet music with a little light.
He had the sheet music stand with a light and
playing the guitar back there, and no one saw him,
but I did because I was high up. You sure
he wasn't tuning the guitar no, no, no, he was playing.
He was playing, Yeah, because could see him playing. You
know what I like about the.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Killers is that they start their shows, the ones that
I've seen online, with their absolute biggest songs.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Yeah, that's gotta be cool.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Like the curtain drops and they go right in down
somebody man, because you just don't expect a band like
that to come out and play their freaking monster at
the very beginning.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Usually it's the last song that they've played. They do
have four or five big songs.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
But when Vanessa Carlton was on this show, she does
thousand Miles at the very beginning.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
And part of that is she knows everybody's waiting on
and have their phone's ready, and she's like, Okay, let's
just get.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
It Overwhere would you be cool with a monster artist
like George Strait to play Amarillo by morning in the
open and then at the end, Yeah, of course I would.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
I would love it play twice, play the start played
in I don't care if you played it ten thousand
times at home. I would love to hear it two
times from the artist.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Man. I thought like, that'd be so cool for artists
to do that, but I don't think anyone does that.
Alan Jackson, Chattahoucci Personal End, Yeah, Chattahoochie. That's probably the
one too where he's like, oh, I gotta play this
song every night. I think I'm gonna do Remember When?
Oh yeah, thirty seems so old. I love that song.

(49:13):
But the actual answer is, Chattahoochie. I wonder if those
songs like remember When and like songs that are real
meaningful get hard to recreate because you write it with
such meaning. But then when you play a song every night,
there's no meaning. You're just performing it.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah, I don't think you recreated. I think you just
know that everybody else is feeling what they feel from it.
You just need to do as close to the job
as you did really as possible.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
It's like an acting job where you like it, just
got to act like I'm I'm feeling it too. Tim McGraw, Oh,
there's a hard one, man, I'm gonna go with something
like that. Not a huge fan of that song. That's
crazy to me.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah, I think it was just that era I got too.
Mcgral eras.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
I like the beginning and the I'm like to say end,
he's not dying, but like the light, I'm gonna go.
Oh yeah, you're gonna go front End Orca. Probably don't
take the girl. Oh yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
There are songs that I probably like better than that.
But as far as like songs I have to hear
if I go to a mcgral show, don't take the Girl,
I think it's don't take the girl, like I like
best friend too, but my best friend, Yeah, I think
that oka if he didn't play it, like okay, but
if he didn't play don't Take the Girl, I think
a pissed.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
I think there's a handful of songs where like I
would be pissed if he didn't play.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
On Kenny Chesney, mind You and Tequila, because that's one
of my favorite songs of all time.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Okay, you gonna think I'm stupid. No, she thinks my
Tractor Sexy. He stopped playing that for a long time.
He told me.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah, he said that, he said, Mega Maroney got him
to play it again.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Thank you, Meghan Maroney, Thank you yep. Because I love
I love Beach Kenny. But to me, like she thinks
she thinks My Tractor Sexy is such a party song,
like if you're gonna go to a concert. Set the
tone with like a good song like that, you have
to play it. But he saw party songs.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
You have your song you love but he's no shoes,
no shirt.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
No problem. Yeah yeah yeah, but she thinks is like
that is so good, Luke Combs. You can just scratch
off ticket. Luke, I mean that's a good one. Uh
when it rains of poorse that's a real good one.
I'm gonna have to go though, car No, no, we
can do I can. I'm fine with no fast car.

(51:29):
If he says I'm not gonna do that, and then
I'd be like, all right, no problem, Luke, You're good,
You're good. I'm gonna dude, I'm gonna go with long neck,
long ice, cold long neck, guys, cold beer. Yeah, as
you can tell. I like those party songs.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Yeah, because it ain't in the real show unless there's
a party.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Of course, I'm drinking. I want to sing about drinking.
I think I'm going to scratch off ticket. It's called
when do you think? Do you think? On the set
list he writes down scratch off ticket, he probably just
writes down pores poors. Yeah, yeah, they do that. One
final one Elton John Oh my there are so many.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
The answer for everyone is Tiny Dancer, Like that's universal,
but that doesn't have to be ours. But if he
doesn't like Tiny Dancer, I think people riot I think
that's his most famous song, right rocket Man? Oh, you
think that more than Tiny Dancer? Even after Tiny Dancer
got big again?

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Yea and whatever that movie was almost famous.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Yeah, you're telling me you think rocket Man is more
famous than Tiny Dancer?

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Do and Friends? Tiny Dancer? They had a whole hold
Me Close or Tony Dance. I think for people our age,
you know that that lived around that time when Friends
was doing that and almost famous. Yes, tiny Dancer got
pretty big, but for everyone else, Rocketman was his his
song that he was known for.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
I wouldn't fight you to the death over that, but
I'm gonna go look at streams because you know you
could be right.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
I don't have the answer to this.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
You want to know what's got even more streams than Rocketman,
which is over Tiny Dancer?

Speaker 2 (53:07):
By the way, Rocketman is. Oh, I know I know
what it is. I bet you don't. I bet you don't. Okay,
maybe I don't give it. I have to have two guesses,
you have ten, don't two guys winning anything, So how
about it? Circle of Life? Nope, dang it because that
was a gem. Uh it's it's the Princess Diana one.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Huh you're not going to get it. You know it,
but you're not going to get it. I would not
have thought this was number one Yellow it's a jam though.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
I'm still that's number one. That stupid sing due the
cartoon did oh it's from singing you're writing.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
The gorilla, but that would be their version of why
the songs? That's our friends do? Tiny Dancer and to.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
My Kids are Kids is the almost famous.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
So I'm still standing Rocketman Yeah, Tiny Dancer. Okay, don't
go breaking my.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Heart, don't go breaking in my heart. I won't go
break in your heart. That's with Olivia Newton John. It's
hold on you're not going to get it. But but
jon't jet he would No, it's with mmmm Elton John
and uh, oh you're not going to get it. I

(54:23):
have it's in my playlist. You're not going to get it.
Give me the initials k D. Don't go breaking in
my heart, break in your Heart? Yeah, Katie lang.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Way Off, Yeah it's Elton Kid.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Hey, your song. That's a princes right. No, no, every song,
No Princess Diana. What's Princess Diana?

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Candle and your song is you can tell everybody this
is your song.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
That's such a jam. I hope you don't that.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Benny and the Jets, Benny Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Yeah,
but yeah, you're thinking of Candle in the Wind, which
was released twice.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Uh, once originally and then one after. Marilyn Monroe was
the original version.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
It wasn't because he wasn't alive then, but it was
written with her, got it inspiration, and then once Princess
Diana died again.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Got it. No Levon Levan's on there. No, Levon's a jam.
But he has a ton of songs. That Bernie Topping,
the guy.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
That wrote the lyrics for those songs, his partner. He
just putting out a record for the first time ever.
Really he's old, but it's like Bernie Topping, the guy
who wrote all the songs with Elton John. I think
you were all the lyrics. Yeah, took all these big songs,
most of them. He's putting out an album.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.
This is the Bobby Cast.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Did you enjoy our time together. I always man. So
what was the topic of that one. Should artists be
oh songs that they allowed to retire a song that
we kind of just picked. What's your answer to that? Well,
the human answer is do whatever you want. It gives
a crap.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
We're not China or North Korea. We can't force you
to do a song. But I think it is kind
to your fans to play your biggest hits. If you
really want to get in and out of them. And
there's a couple you hate, combine them, put them in
the same key, combine them so everybody feels like they
can get a little experience from it, like a little mashup.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Can I give you an artist real quick? I want
to know what you John Mayer my favorite. Okay, you
gotta understand what John Mayer. I don't give a crap.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
About the hits, Like if you buy, if you play
bubble Gum Tongue, dude, you can retire that tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
No, No, that is his best song. Okay, then that's
fine for people to think that aren't mayor heads. That's
not even what we're called. And you are, but you
are one of those.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
I think i'd be what would be a good John May.
I'm not in the fan club or anything, but like
a t Mayor. Now Mayor, how about uh.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
The mayor, the mayor? The mayors? For me, my favorite song.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Ever depending on what month it is, because I have
like three, But Stop this Train, John Mayer is my
favorite song ever that he's ever done. Stop this train.
I want to get off and go home again. The
whole thing's about there's one line that says, uh, I'm
so scared.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Of getting older.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I'm only good at being young, So I play a
numbers game to act like life is just begun.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
That time.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
He was the first songwriter that ever wrote things I felt,
so yeah, stop his train.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
He doesn't always play it. He doesn't. Gosh, I feel
like that would be an essential. I don't think he does.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
I think I think I've probably been ten shows, maybe
seven right of them he's played it.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
What does he always play? Like the shows that you
went to? He's bubble gum tongue. He's got to play
that one, even though he probably hates playing that.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
What's his least favorite song to play? Wait on the
World to Change was It was one of his least
favorite songs to play because of the range of his
voice and because it's just such a cliche song, but
also people love it and people feel something from it.
He knows that I have his top five most played
songs of concert. Okay, I love it from that set list.
I'm gonna say it was a little bit later. But well,

(58:18):
if I go from the first album Room the Room
for Squares album, yeah, I'm not the great right person.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
To ask because it's the one that because if you
were to go, what would.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
You want him to play? You can't miss with gravity. Obviously,
it's a big crowd pleaser.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
She's got to play that one every single show.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Probably, but it was later, so it's probably not played
as much in the early days.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
I see what you're saying. Can you just tell me
Number one?

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Number one is why Georgia?

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Okay, So that's from his EP before even Room for Squares,
and it was on Room for Squares.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Wow, Wow, Wow. The EP was called Inside once Out
and I listened to that sucker five million times.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Not only that, Comfortable was on that and this is
just an EP and Clay from Zach Brown Bands was yeah,
you know, in the duo with him for a long time. Yeah,
but sometimes most comfortable shows and people freak out because
it's from his EP. You never put it on a
real round.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
I don't think I know that one? What else you got?
And number two is no such thing?

Speaker 1 (59:15):
Okay, so that's from the first album. So we're looking
at songs from the first album.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
So more time to play Yeah, three, your Body's a Winderland,
bubblegum tongue, retire it from the first album.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Four Gravity that from Continuum.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Just a great piece of art. And number five is
waiting on the world to change. Oh, stab in the
neck with every time? What's the one with the run
down the hallway? He did that one? What's that one called? Oh?
I didn't know was that his first first single? First single?
That's what I thought. My kids asked me the dumbest

(59:53):
questions and instead of being I really just want to go,
like google it, but then I have to be like, well,
let's think about this. What was the question they asked recently?
It was so dumb that one? What was the first
What was his first song? But you just asked me
that because I told them that, like I like I
knew the answer. Oh, for sure, this one? And then
I played that played on that one show and tail
before we leave. Yeah, my back art's a little bit.

(01:00:16):
I'm playing pick a ball. I'm gonna stand up for
a second. I'm gonna show you guys on camera and
I'll just describe it on this for the studio. Oh,
this is why you didn't answer me when I asked
you what that was.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Yeah, So I'm gonna bring this on camera a little bit,
so Eddie describe it for people.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
It is a very tall piece of art. It looks
like maybe pencil art, possibly because it's black and white. Yeah, yeah,
I mean the sketches. It's a skeleton. It's okay, it's
it's basically yeah, well yeah, because you're six to one. Yeah,
so that's about yeah, that's about right, six foot tall skeleton.

(01:01:00):
And so doctors use this. This is from the drawing
is from eighteen sixty seven. Whoa does it have the
artist's name on that? Hold on eighteen sixty seven, dude,
that's amazing. So we're gonna put this in the studio
on the wall. But I got to match it with something.

(01:01:21):
So this is Ludwig of course German, eighteen sixty seven.
And then there's a bunch of words in German yeah,
so German. Dude, dude, that's amazing. How much you don't
want to know? How much you don't that? No, I
really do two car tires. Oh my goodness, dude, that's

(01:01:44):
a that's amazing. Unfortunately, let me tell you when I
first saw that, I saw it and I'm like, what
did you buy? That's the stupidest thing anybody would ever buy.
But then you find out that it's that old and
it's a real piece of art, Like, that's actually really amazing, dude. Yeah,
I didn't know you were an art collector. I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
My wife said, hey, I think there's the and she
doesn't play into the bones thing at all.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
She kind of hates it. I didn't even put I
didn't put that together. Oh you guys, did Mike digit immediately? Yes,
so did I know?

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
And she said, there is this old doctor's drawing of
a skeleton that they use back in the eighteen hundreds
at this store, and the paper is weathered and old.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
They've tried to preserve it. Yeah, she said, but I
hadn't put it aside.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
If you go look at it and if you should
buy it for the studio. And so it's a six
foot like skeleton drawing best from the eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
That's really cool. Cool, huh, it's really really This isn't
a giveaway, right Call her ten.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Call her ten on my cell phone right now. So
if you guys got on Netflix you can see that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
You can see it. Randon, Well we did. Yeah, that's
really cool man. All right, that's a wrap. I'm I
want to end with this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
I'm very upset at what and not angry, just disappointed
because this week there was a concert that you and
I would have for sure gone to, but you had
to leave town, I know. And I even asked my
wife and she would go, and she didn't want to go.
