Speaker 1 (00:10):
What's Happen to Friends? Hello, welcome to another edition of
On Time with Me Bobby Bones. I am your host,
Bobby Bones. I have been described for those of you
that don't know me as he's what you get if
you were to take Clay Aikin and Weezer and put
them together and subtract all the talent. That's me And
I'm no treat by myself. That's probably not why you're
(00:31):
watching this. But I've got some amazing people stopping by
the show. We have my friend Gary Lavox of Rascal
Flat stopping by. He's gonna play this song. We also
have new artists Laney Wilson stopping by. She's gonna play
some music too. She's also on the way to becoming
a big old star. So we have music, we have guests.
We're gonna play some games. You guys can also write
questions in the box and I'll ask some of them too.
(00:53):
So and if you're really lucky, I'll show you guys
my third nipple. See you'll even learn some things about me.
But when we get to our guests, I was like
to kick things off with the shortest monologue and all
the land just wham bam, thank you for the question.
Thank you for the joke. Man. It's three quick jokes.
We've appropately titled three jokes for the folks. Here we
go home. Joke number one, Scientists are warning us that
(01:15):
it's time to bust out the year plugs, as trillions
of cicadas are emerging from their seventeen year long hibernation
to mate seventeen years. That's not so bad, Listen, it's
been forty one for me. I haven't made it yet.
You don't see me s forming all over the place.
Sam saving that from a wedding night. It's just a
sexy wink. Moving on to joke number two, it's being
(01:36):
reported in Canada fans are being contacted by profiles pretending
to be Chad Kroger, the lead singer of Nickelback. Some
have said the fake profile has asked them for money
in the form of bitcoin or iTunes gift cards. As
if Nickelback fans didn't have it roughen up already, wait
till they realize it is actually Chad Kroger of Nickelback.
(01:56):
That's right. And finally, joke number three, Target announced they
will stop the sale of Pokemon cards after a man
pulled a gun during a fight over trading cards in
their parking lot. They described the event as the nerdiest
felony in the history of American crime. He actually asked
the police, can I my mommy come pick me up
from jail. Gotta love America, the only place where it's
easy to buy a gun in the store but impossible
(02:17):
to buy Pokemon cards. That's right. Hit that music there
it is? Those are three jokes for the folks. Thank
you very much. Is music still going? Or am I
just making the music all right? Before we get to
our first musical guest. Let me check in with my
fiance Caitlin. That's right here she comes. You can follow
(02:38):
her on Instagram at kate cy Parker. And later I
go check out our episode of running Wild with bear
Grills that we did. She's gonna walk through that door
at anytime. There she is. Thank you, Come on in,
have a seat. Thank you. How are you pretty good?
How how's your day been? And what did you do
(02:59):
this after and in this afternoon? What time does that start?
I don't know. It's a good question. The afternoon four
five oh? I went to a spin class. How did
that five? Great? When we spin and I'm beside you.
Do you watch how fast I'm going? Do you compare
the output that you feel like you're putting out versus mine?
(03:21):
Because I feel like you dominate me. I'll be honest,
I feel like that as well, but I don't really
watch you that much. Well, you're not doing the moves.
I don't do the dance moves because I can't keep
up right here, Here's what I've learned about this spin class.
I put my grind on too hard, and when I'm
peddling hard, I can't do the dance moves with my
arms on the right pace. And so as you guys
(03:43):
are all nailing them, I'm off. But I'm still getting
pretty your workout's choice there? How did interesting analogy? How
did class go today? That's great? Yeah? Good instructor? High
energy was packed and I got to ride next to
someone I know. Should I like? It's fun? Did you
see Gary l Box in the waiting room? I did,
(04:05):
and I waved at him. I had to come in here.
I would have loved to stop buying and chatted for
a bit, but um, I just got a quick wave in.
And how did you get right in here? For my interview?
She feel solid about the wave. I think he liked it,
he smiled. Yeah, it was like, you know, it's awkward
because you're like I think you probably know who I
am like, but you just never know, so I didn't
(04:28):
want to be too like he hung out at the house.
He's a big star. He has a big star. Is
there anything you want me to ask him when he
comes in? Any question? He's a big starme. You want
to ask him off camera? Yeah? Something I'll text I'm
on camera, I'll text it to you. Does it have
(04:50):
to do with him being naked? No? Last night we
watched our episode of Running Wild with Bear Girls, which
people can still watch right now at National Geographic dot Com.
How did you feel about your performance? My performance? Like
how I did on camera? How you came off? He
(05:10):
didn't love it. I mean, I just don't like to
watch myself, so I didn't love it. But I am
very proud of myself for doing it. So I think
those are two different things. How did I feel about
my performance? How did I feel about what I accomplished?
What was it like doing that episode? Awful? Scary, um, cold, scary, terrifying.
(05:39):
It really wasn't fun right, No, there wasn't one bit
of it that was fun. The only good thing about
the actual time there was Bear because he is the
greatest right in the moment, the only the only good
thing was there after it. It's all good, it's all fun,
it's all great memory. Happy we did it. People loved it,
though I felt there was a good spots. I guess, yeah,
(06:01):
you were the star of the show, bell of the ball.
It's not the star of the show in the parade. No,
people just see you a lot and they don't see
me a lot. So that's why I'm sure you're feeling
that way. I loved it. I thought that I should
have just been you next season you go alone. Oh
I don't want that because you really like Bear. No, No,
I I don't want to go alone. But I I'm
(06:22):
happy I did it. I'm happy that I stood up
to a fear of mine. I was actually I'll just
tell you story. Today. I was in spin and my
instructor was talking about kind of how she started her
spin class. And I know this is probably cliche, and
we all know I'll know this saying, but she was saying, um,
when you feel scared about something, just do it. Scared
(06:45):
and that's what I want to do from now on.
I just want to do it scared, regardless of what
it is. I don't need to work up courage to
do it. I just need to do it scared. And
that's what I did the whole time during Bear Girls. Sorry,
I got distracted because Mike was taking a picture and
I was like, oh, Mike, do you look at you? Oh? Good? Okay,
So anyway, for any of you that are actually watching this,
whatever you're thinking that you want to do, but you
(07:06):
don't feel like you have the courage, and you're like,
maybe I'll have the courage in a week. Maybe I'll
have the courage in a couple of weeks. You won't,
So do it scared. That's okay. You don't have to
have the courage. Sometimes you only get couraged by fighting
through fear. Sure, yeah, thank you. Um. I like how
you just addressed the camera, just you just totally take
over and you turn right to the camera. Them Like,
(07:27):
don't know if I could help anybody. My idea has
written some questions for me to ask. Would you like
to answer them? What? I? Yeah? What kind of sleeper
is Bobby? Um? A flailer? Elaborate that kind of a
thing like that, or like I was talking your sleep,
(07:51):
or you wake up and you request me to hug you.
Sometimes I do that. I wake up and I'm like,
I can't go to sleep, but you hug me. No,
he goes like, he goes me. Mike's giggling. I do,
and then she's big spoon and a little spoon. I
don't care. It's the only way I get the only
way I get to sleep. I don't let her put
(08:11):
her hand on my stomach though, or near my stomach,
because I'm embarrassing my stomach because he has body dysmorphia
and we're working through that. So she can put her
arm over me, but it it has to be like up here. Yeah,
it's got to be shoulder or like pit. Yeah and pit.
That ends up not with a great smell in the
morning on your hand. What song do you love to
sing in the car? Me? What song do I love
(08:34):
to sing in the car? Um? I'll tell you right now,
come on drives last as last. No, that's so two
months ago, okay, if it was all right now? Well,
my staple really is Adore You by Harry Styles. But
Olivia Rodrigo actually has a new song out called good
for you, and it's really good. Check it out. Did
you ever consider changing your last name to bones even
on Instagram? Not one time? And final question, what's the
(08:56):
one thing you learned about Bobby in the last week?
In the last week, Mike that stuff? What did I
learn about you in the last week? Um, that you
are very willing to help me with wedding things such
as meetings, if I will just ask you. Yeah, And
we went to Crane Barrel and did some boop boop
(09:17):
on the board where we went to register. But we're
out of gifts at this point, like people have sucked
them all and now my parents have nothing to get us,
so we need to chill out on the details. But um, okay,
thank you. Yeah, I was pretty good at the said right,
(09:39):
you were great? Yeah, scanned boo boops? Did you scan
your stuff? Mike? You did rettert online. She went back
and did some registering online and as soon as we've finished,
she went right to the registered and Eddie already bought
us a juicer before we even got so generous, like
the oh my gosh, wait time out, can you send
me where you're like, we don't have a gift for
you yet, because I've asked him to ask you, I
(10:00):
know he hasn't, and I didn't want to ask Kelsey
because I know she has like nine thousand things on
her plate. So can you send? All right there? She
is my fiance and yours just just mine, Caitlin Parker. Everybody,
thank you, thank you for always being our first guest.
Only three more episodes to go by. Yeah we're doing
it's a six pack. Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, you
(10:24):
go over in the chat. We got a lot of
people over here that are like, uh, is this where
Gary Lavox is gonna be on? It is momentarily. That's
from Cat McQueen um kells Zack said, Gary put the
wrong year all on Facebook, so people are going to
something else. I don't know. All right, here we go.
Let's welcome my first guest, well musical guest. He's the
lead singer of Rascal Flats and will soon be releasing
(10:46):
his first ever Christian solo album. He has the voice
of an angel and the only guy know who works
out in full camouflage. I've seen it with my own eyes.
Welcome to the show. Gary Levox, thank you, thank you.
What do you what's in your hand? That's true. Did
(11:10):
you did you grab it from out there? Really? I
really did? Nice? Do me sign that for you? Yes,
that's why I brought it nice nice Okay. Oh, by
the way, Gary brought merch for me. They are what
these are? There's a branded Lavox wear. Yea. He broke
really struggling and you need to Yeah. Yeah, I'm just
(11:31):
trying to with the Yeah, but these are. I do
love the logo. Thanks, Like what who designed this? He did? Yeah?
I did. Really, Here's Freedom Farms. What's Spreedom Farms? That's
that's my farm outside of Nashville. I will I will
wear this black one. Yeah. Good, I brought him for you.
You'll sell many and you'll be able to pay your mortgage,
(11:52):
which is the goal. You're even wearing a wristband? Now?
Why a wristband in the evening on a internet talk show? Well,
you know what? It just I know how you have
to turn all the air conditioners off and it gets
hot and so I adap okay, you know because you
maybe we're makeup and things and it's like a dap
I do okay. Um onto the real questions at hand. Here,
(12:16):
Why a solo album and why a why did you
start with a Christian album? Why a solo album? Because
Jodan came to us one day and said that he
wanted to be home war said he was burnt and
he's burnt out? Are you serious? And so that kind
of we're like, okay, all right, we respect that. And
(12:38):
so I had already kind of planned on doing one
and didn't really know when it was gonna happen, because
you know, Flats, we've been a thousand miles a minute
for twenty years. And so when Jodon told us that,
we're like, okay, well, that opens it up. And I
always want to do a gospel record. I always did,
and um it just all of it kind of came
(12:59):
together and here we go. And then Friday at uh
it drops the EP drops. Were you shocked? And I
do want to get to the peaks that heard a
lot of it. Hecky played some unreleas stuff in my
house like three months ago. So so so I've kind of,
you know, been to the process. But were you Did
you expect Jodan to come and be like, hey, guys,
we gotta take a break. No, I really didn't, I mean,
(13:20):
you know, not really because it was that was year nineteen,
and we had a lot of things booked for the
twenty year and everything else with trying to put the
farewell tour together, and we had a lot of things
set up with, uh, you know, the Grammys and c
m As and all this kind of kind of just
celebrate the twenty years that we had together, you know,
and all the accomplishments that we've done. And then the
(13:42):
pandemic hit. So no, it was kind of out of
left field, and uh, you know, but what can you do?
Did you and j Ever go, hey, we'll just do
this as a duo? Was it even a conversation? It
was a conversation. And but Joe j had started, uh
that a little Christian label, the independent label called Red
(14:02):
Street Records, and he wanted to make a go with that,
and I was like, well that's cool. So I was like,
you know, I still I feel like my platform is
the stage, and I still had so much music to make,
and so I just stayed on my artists route, and
I mean, it's stick with what you're good at, and
that's what I wanted to do. And did you feel
like you needed a break for a bit though after this,
(14:23):
where you like, I need to just kind of recalibrate.
I did not expect this. I spent the last twenty
years being a flat Did you have any nights we
are like wait, what is about to happen? Or were
you like, Okay, this actually gives me an opportunity to
go chase this solo record. It was both. Actually it
was kind of it was sad, it was disheartening, it
was exciting, it was you know, it was kind of
(14:45):
everything at once because everything I've known for half of
my life is now going to be changed and can
gonna be different. So but it gave me, you know,
it gave me the time to to really lock in
and um, you know, not only did I do a
gospel record, but I already recorded a solo country record
that comes out in the fall. So I just gave it.
I just kind of just threw myself into my music
and just let it be. Let you know, you gotta
(15:08):
play the hands that are dealt sometimes. So the record
comes out Friday. It's called One on One? Why why
one on one? Well, it's kind of I think, just
me doing a gospel record, just me and my my
my faith walk with the Lord. And it's the first
time that it's just been me. I mean, I've been
(15:29):
the face of Flats for twenty years and now it's
just one on one, me and him and me and
the fans. So just kind of made sense. Do you
plan to go out and play any of these songs live? Yeah? Yeah,
I'll be doing all the flat stuff. And that's the question, right,
So you're gonna sing the flat stuff? I think you should.
I think if I went out, I'd want to hear
(15:50):
some of the new stuff. But if I'm going to see,
you know, the face of the Flats, dang it sing
the flats. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. So what do
you do as far as a band? You just get
your buddies that know of the songs. No, it's it's
actually the same. It's it's actually all the Rascal Flats band,
Jim Riley, it's my drummer, Travis Toyo plays steel and
everything else. He's still with me, and so it's the
(16:11):
actual the actual Flatspan just minus Jane Jodan gotta do
bass player and um, you know my keyboard players sings
all the hot stuff to it on sing and so
it's the same band, just minus Jane general. I mean
we'd really get the full experience if you kind of
dressed them up to look like them and we know
they're not, but you know you still like color, the hair,
you know, maybe even throw them back to old school
one night Jo, you know he had the long yeah,
(16:31):
I mean, no sleeves. Yeah, just just maybe just a vest.
But yeah, yeah, because when you look back, I was
looking at the multiple pictures of you guys. I mean,
you guys were now it's normal, but style wise, you
were extremely different than the format. Were you guys getting
a lot of the pushback from the old school Nashville
(16:52):
folks at the time. Yeah, I mean I think everything
anything new and country, I think you always do. Plus
we came in at the tail into the whole boy
band thing and so all that kind of played into it.
But you know, I mean we're sitting there like, you
know what we're not. We're not cowboys, you know, I
mean we live that lifestyle, you know. I mean, I'm
(17:12):
his country as corn breads with which is crazy because
you are. But I mean you Gary legitimately is significantly
more country. And it's usually the opposite, right, people will
come and act a little show a little more country
than they really are. It's like you're the opposite. Like
you come out, you're straight ahead, jel, you put that
your hair product in, you sing. But when we're done here,
(17:34):
he's in Camo and he's like, hey, man, come out
to the farm. And I'm like, that's an hour and
a half away. He's like, no man would have sit
on the porch and like spitting cows. And I'm like,
what's what are you? What are you talking about? Your
getting the box? So, but you do live and you
hunt constantly. Yeah, I mean it's just the way I
grew up. But you know, it's it's like they're but
(17:55):
it's just who I am. You know, I just gotta
be real to who you are. And you know, but
it's like I've never wrote it, Calf, you know, I
saw it while I'm not gonna sit out and put
a cowboy hat on and try to play up to
something that I'm not. You know. So I wasn't here
in Nashville when you guys broke and when you guys
(18:15):
were winning the it's the Grammys, Like I wasn't here
and I was actually, I mean probably twenties and we
would watch on TV. It was a fan and we
would start to play. I was working in Pop Radio
two at the time. We're playing some of your stuff
over there, So I'm I missed the impact you guys
had on Nashville. Were you guys king dingling of the
(18:36):
talent for a while? It? For yeah, we really had
just kind of held the torchs for yeah. I mean
a long time. Really. I mean it's I mean, two
thousand and six, we outsold everybody in the world that
put a record out in any genre music, you know.
So and I remember being at the Grammy's up against
Beyonce and Mary J. Blige and Kanye and jay Z,
(18:59):
and we're like, it doesn't matter if we win or not.
We outsold everybody in this room. That's you can't even
fathom that kind of stuff. So, I mean, we had
a you know, I mean, it's made the Guinness Book
with you know, seven consecutive c M a vocal group.
I mean, all that stuff is just mind blowing. We
had the We're kind of top dog there for a
(19:19):
minute for sure. Were you in Entertainer of the Year member,
which which is crazy to me because I was gonna
let you answer no, because I knew the answer. I
looked it up. The fact that you weren't allowed or
they didn't put you in that when you were the
actual entertainers of not just country music, but you said it.
You're out telling everybody. I think even as the success
(19:41):
was happening, I still would have had some sort of resentment, like, hey,
why aren't you guys putting us because we're not when
Cowboy has? Is that why we're upset about it? We were?
We thought it was well deserved. I mean it's like,
you know, we're the first band to ever play Wrigley Field,
first country concert to ever play Wrigley I mean at
that time, it's like we've sold out four different tours
(20:02):
at Madison Square Garden, and hey, we were doing big stuff,
and it was like every year we weren't an entertainer
and was like what how does that even happen? You know,
It's like and then you go and it's like you
start thinking about that stuff, and then the hand your
plaque for ten million tickets sold and you know, all
that stuff. It kind of it sits with you. Not
(20:22):
that we weren't you know, grateful, but you know you
kind of just sit and scratch your head, like, uh,
there's not really anything else we can do, Like I
would have been again, I would have resented the people
that make those decisions because it's such an inside bubble
decision that's being made. And I would think you guys
were so successful. And I've seen other this happened to
other people in town too. Uh. Sam Hunt for example,
(20:45):
he had a couple of years where he was crushing,
not at the level you guys worked, but he and
he wasn't be nominated for anything. And it's like, Wow,
why are we so out of touch? Why do we
have to to to make it that only a certain
type of sin that we deem which removes the power
from the people. And I felt like they removed that
(21:05):
with you guys. Yeah, I feel the same way. I
think like Single of the Year, take the top five
singles with the most spins or whatever, and that should
be your top five, you know. I mean it seems
easy to me, but that's not the politics of the game,
you know. And as you guys are achieving superstardom, did
it ever get to where it was eagles like like
(21:27):
we have own dressing rooms, were just coming out and
meeting on stage or was there was there ever a
phase like that. No. You know, the only time there
was a phase like that was when it was like
we were like no, because we spent every night on
the dressing rooms together and all that. But it was busses,
you know, because we started having kids and all of that.
But that was the only time. But it was like,
all right, I'm not picking up your socks, I'm not
(21:50):
picking up your food. We're grown men in this place
that we're not doing it. So we all got separate
busses and everything was great. But now we spent every
night in the dress room together. Was there ever, Because
once you start making big money, you start flying private
from shows. Was there ever one of you guys? I
was like, I don't want to spend the Flats money
on a plane. Let's take a bus. Did that ever,
(22:10):
You're almost let's go, Dan. What do you get recognized
more for the lead singer of the Flats or the
guy who's faces on the moving trucks? Flats for sure,
Flats for sure, black Time movie. It's funny. I get
a lot of people around town stuff. I get more
(22:32):
pictures of people like sitting in traffic and something says
black Time moving to my face on there and We're like, dude,
what but no flats for sure? Um a question that
I was gonna ask. I know the answer to it,
because Michael was like, hey, ask him this question, but
I'll also help with the answer. He says, do you
ever just show up random me to a house that
your company is working on? Let me answer, Let me
(22:53):
answer this one. And I don't know if he does randomly,
but I hired Black Time Moving to move me in here.
And I get a call going, hey, man, where you yet,
I'm like at them at the house. He goes, hey'
truck So I'm about to show up and he drives
up right beside his truck and he came over and
we hung out for like an hour and he was
like all right, and that was it. No way broke
anything the end of it. And he was in a
(23:14):
white tie. He wore the tuxedo to It was the
whole thing I mentioned. And we'll get to some music
in a second, but I mentioned and it's a true story.
It's my favorite story because it was before I knew
you um as a person. But we lived in the
same neighborhood and there's a little gym in the neighborhood
and I was working out and when I don't wear
my glasses, I can't see anything. And I was doing
some cardio and I just there's some guy that kind
(23:38):
of waved at me. But he was in full camo.
He was on a bike in full camo. I was like,
and so I put my glasses on and then full camo,
full turkey hunting gear. Is Gary going? Are you doing? Dumbbellans?
Would you you have an interesting family? I know your
daughter when your daughter a little bit too? Um? Would
(24:00):
you guys ever? Do you know a show a family
show like Jay did? Uh? No, No, I don't. Like
I wouldn't want to live with cameras all the time.
You know. It's like you, you know, I wouldn't want
cameras around me all the time. By way, you know
how you know how you take a break and you
don't you know me, I take a lot of breaks. Um, okay,
two things I want to bring up and then we're
(24:21):
gonna get to the because it's just things it's better
to bring up on camera. Um. It was who like
one in the morning, maybe like three weeks ago. I
got a text from you at one in the morning.
It's like, hey, get in my clubhouse room, and I
was like, I can't get in your club. I don't
even know what you were talking. You're talking about something
like foreign money bitcoin. I thought it would be like
(24:42):
so I I go, okay, I said, I can't. I'm
gonna get in trouble because Caitlin's all sleep next to me, like,
just get in the room. It's like going in your
room and it's like how to jeopardize bitcoins transactional and
I'm like, I don't even know what this is. I
thought we were talking about the history of the flats.
So I get out a text the next day and
I was like, what were you doing up? You're like,
oh man, we're writing until like one we got into
(25:03):
clubhouse to like five in the more like you you
go hard, but in a different way. Now yeah, I
just yeah, because you know, just getting motive. I have
nothing to do the next day, so now I can
stay up on that. It's not like I have to
go to work the next day. My second favorite story
just recently happened. Or I text Gary and I said, hey,
you have an arst to Pete to the wedding yet
and Caitlin' kind of on I've never had a wedding before.
(25:23):
She's like, hey, because apparently have to pick out what
people eat, like people have to go hey. I said, hey,
Arst to the wedding, and you said you were coming.
I was like, just make it easy on me so
I don't have to. And I send the text and nothing,
no response, And I'm like, well, that's interesting, Gary. We're
usally pretty quick with text with each other and no,
no problem. Who knows what you're doing, right, you could
probably be like doing some charitable work. I don't know.
(25:46):
I look over on Instagram and he's selling hats. He's
selling Gary Lavox hats and I'm like, I'm watching. You
can't return to text. You gotta make eight bucks selling
one of these hats. I'm like, hey, yeah, I'm Arst.
I just sign. It was weird because I had to
sign those hats because we were leaving for Florida in
like two hours, so I just in the fifteen seconds
(26:08):
and just the respond of the text would have totally shifted.
But I did that. I wasn't I was in I
was in motion. You know, how do we okay in
these hats? Here? I'm gonna wear this one too, But
how do we get this hat. Just go to Gary
Lavox dot com yep, and it's got all shirts and
hats and grisp all all the oxwear stuff. I do
want to try that. I went to the post office
(26:30):
today to find a phone book because I don't have
actual Yes, because you know how they say Gary can
sing the phone book and make it good. You've heard
that phrase, right. I went There was no phone book.
They looked at me like I was stupid. They're like,
why do you want a phone book? I was like, well,
gear to the boxes coming to the house. I'd like
to hear him sing the phone book. And they were like,
I'm sorry, we don't have a phone book. However I
had this, Well, maybe it's just a couple of lines.
(26:53):
This is stock investing for dummies. It's the closest thing
I had to a phone book. Maybe open it up
sing it's a few lines, all right, So why don't
you choose a promise singing sector? Just select large cap
companies that are financially strong, earning a prophet, have a
(27:16):
load death and our market lead. Oh, this entire book
shows you how to choose just than Yeah. However, you
may not like the idea of buying stocks directly. No, no, no,
(27:36):
don't buy stocks directly. There is fantastic which, by the way,
I believe that's what I was hearing you talk about
in the clubhouse room singing it the same way, and
let's bring your guys in. Let's do it. I gotta
Gary had some players there. Just bring them on in.
I was talking with them earlier. What is that instrument
with the funny strings. It's a guitar. Yeah, it's a

You're both out of here about kicked out? Okay, okay,
I need to bring my next guest in because okay,
(34:20):
um up next, I want to welcome to artist that
is destined to be a superstar. Not only she just awesome.
She's our country on the verge. Artists are selling things
a man, I don't know us climbing up the country
charts right now. She describes her music as country with
the flare. She is the best handed Montana personator that
I know. Welcome Landy Wilson, everybody. Hil Do you get
(34:43):
a chance to meet Gary? Had you met him before
you met Gary? Pretty cool today? Yeah, just so normal.
Well normal is not the word I would use, but
it's so approachable and friendly. Gosh, make just sat down
on the couch and we just started talking about a
little bit everything. So it's interesting to see you now
becoming the star. I always felt you would be because
we met years ago. I was watching Blanco Brown's going
(35:08):
to do the two step and yeah, so I messaged you.
I messaged Laney on Instagram and was like hey, because
you were doing the dance with him, and I said, hey,
can you teach me this? And Laney's like yeah, sure,
she goes, I mean I'll come over. I say, we'll
put you in the video, and well you can teach us,
and you said I'll call Blanco and I was like, well,
(35:28):
that's extremely nice to her because I was saying, hey,
you could do and you're like, no, we'll do one.
Now we're gonna get the real deal involved. And then
you and Blanco came into the house and then you
don't even You're like, I don't need to be in
the video. And I was like wow, heng Now, I
was like, people who really know it, y'all get accurate.
I'm just here to kind of help the siltate. But
it was it just showed me just how awesome of
a person you were, and that you also knew that
(35:50):
your time was coming, that wasn't gonna be your time.
You had your own reason. Yeah. It's funny too, though,
Like we put that video up on YouTube and I
put so many dangs. You was a me singing on YouTube,
and of course I put one of me dancing. The
thing goes viral and I'm like, shoot, I should have
been dancing. So now to see you, you know, blow up.
(36:10):
It's been crazy because we did the our Raging Idiot
Show last year, no two years oh, because the pandemic,
we didn't have it. And you came out and did
Fat Bottom Girls by Queen and and you crushed so hard.
The crowd didn't know you at the time, but when
you were done, they loved you. I couldn't get them
to stop clapping. It was wild. That was my first
time playing the rhyman. I mean, I will never forget it.
(36:31):
And got up there and of course I think fat
Bottom Girl, but I just remember you crushing it so
hard that the crowd was like, we don't know her yet,
but we think we're going to know her. That's the goal.
Every time I get up there, I'm like, they don't
know me from Adam, but when I get done with this,
they don't know me. So what's the difference now in
the feeling of when you have a song climbing the charts?
Right now. It's so strange. I mean, actually, I was
(36:53):
at home in Louisiana not too long ago that tractor supply,
and uh, this guy came up to me was like,
are you that girl that sings that song about what
a man out? So he recognized you. Yeah, and I
was like, yeah, you work at tractor supply, So I
guess you do know a few things that mayn't ought
to know. But it's been it's been interesting. It's uh,
it's just like you, like you said a minute ago,
(37:14):
I've always just kind of felt like my time was coming. Um,
I've never had a plan. B So at some point
in time, this gotta work and used to drive back
and forth and used to tour like you would go
home like you'd be here and try to make it,
but then you you had to pay the bills, so
you would just drive home and play shows down there. Yep.
So I was living at a camper, and I lived
(37:35):
in the camp for in the first three years I
was here, and I was living in a studio parking
lot somebody who was just letting me live in their
yard basically and let me bumb you know, their water
and WiFi. So I didn't have a whole lot of bills,
you know. I mean I had to buy groceries and
gas money and stuff like that. So I go home
to Louisiana or Mississippi and just play as many shows
as I could and just try to make ends meete. Yep,
(37:58):
was there ever a time where you saw it? Man,
I just don't know if I can do this, and
I'm I don't think I'm gonna do this. What's crazy
is no, like, I'm I have to be a little
borderline crazy because there there were times in my life
where I should have packed my stuff and went home absolutely,
But um, you know, I've just I'm a little hard headed,
(38:19):
and I just kind of always felt like, you know,
I mean, this is what I was, I was born
to do, and I will figure out one way or another.
And I got really supportive parents. And my daddy's a farmer,
and I've seen him like get up every single day
and just do the dame thing, you know, I mean,
like work his fingers to the bone and it's his
livelihood and he has bad years, good years, but at
(38:41):
the end of the day, like, if you love it,
you do it. So are they so proud of you? Oh,
they're so tickled. I mean to for them to turn
on their local country station and hear their daughter on
the radio. What what does that do for them? Well, actually,
Daddy was righting the tractor the other day and um,
they just finished playing corn and he called me, and
(39:02):
it was really a full circle thing for me. It
was just wild because any time I ever wanted to
spend time with him, I'd have to go right the
tractor with him because he was just always at it.
So he called me, and I don't remember what I
was doing, but he just said, hey, I'm out here,
just you know, I'm on the tractor out in the field,
and I just wanted to let you know I just
heard you on the countdown and I was like, well,
(39:24):
now I'm about to school. So it was just you
could just hear in his voice. He don't have to
tell me that he's proud of me, but he is. Man,
that's so cool. Have you played a show? And I
guess you probably haven't played a show back home since
you know, the pandemic, because you really there hasn't been
a lot of shows. Well, you know, just now, are
you starting to go out at all? Have you been
out at all? To play anything. Yeah, so we've done
some stuff out West Idaho, Wyoming. We've got some stuff. Shoot,
(39:48):
where are we going this weekend? And see, that's the
best thing is when you start because you're you're getting
some when you forget where you're going, because you're just
like a hundred miles an hour, things are coming at
you like congratulations. Because when I I saw you go
where are we going? Like that's the first step and
just making it like thank God, you get to go.
I'm running so hard and I'm so tired that I
(40:09):
can't remember that's the greatest blessing. I'm so pumped, like
I cannot get out there quick enough. I mean, yeah,
we're we're in uh Austin and Decatur, Illinois this weekend.
And it's just nice to see people. Yeah, the first
time you play a show back home, you're gonna be
just so moved. To have your people seeing your music
(40:32):
bag is going to be another milestone for you. Here
and there. Like I've seen like in a few different places,
like we played somewhere in Arizona and I saw some
people singing a lot of the songs, and I mean
I've never seen that, and it did make me feel
all warm and fuzzy, and I was like, Wow, this
is like what you work so hard for, you know,
(40:52):
for people to just connect and latch onto something. And
I mean that's a songwriter's dream, you know. So my
hometown seven hundred people. Your hometown baskets three hundred, you know.
I mean, apparently I live in the big city compared
to Baskan. Apparently I'm New York City. What what what
we have the um um shop and a gas station?
We know, how many traffic lights? What's Basking like? We
have like a gas station and a half I guess
(41:15):
you have. I mean it's literally like I don't even
know if it's a gas station anymore. We have caution light,
a bunch of cornfields. That's about it. It's actually called
the Village of Basking. What makes it a village? Heck
if I know. Every time I'm like, I'm from the
town of Basket, my parents correct me and they're like, no,
it's the Village of Basking. That's just what it says
on the Welcome to the Village of Basking sign. You're
(41:37):
gonna tour with Jason al Dean. How did that come
to you? Did you hear from him what happened. It's
just so crazy. I know. So we're you know, we're
at the same label, and I know a lot of
the people over there have been like sending to my
music for a while. And m and his manager called
my manager and said, y'all know that girl. Y'all been
bugging us about for two years now. Jason wants her
(42:00):
to be on on the road with him. I was like,
what in the world now, My people back at home
really think I'm doing something with my life. That's something
long enough, Okay, Laney, you're gonna play a song, a
couple of songs for us. Okay, we bring in some

this song ain't about changing the tire or starting to
fire me and YouTube all out. At the end of
the day, this song is just about treating people right.

(48:49):
to you guys for watching and spending your Tuesday night
with me. You could have been youw moere in the world,
but you're right here with me and I appreciate that.
So I'll leave you with this piece of wisdom that
you know I've talked about forever. You know, the best
time to plan a tree was twenty years ago. If
you haven't done it already, well, the second best time
is now. What does that mean? It means that if
you want success in life, you gotta at right now.
(49:09):
You can't get better at something if you're not putting,
putting effort in and trying listen. I failed time after time,
was rejected by everybody radio stations, book publishers, TV stations,
on and on and on. Had to beg, Lanny, just
come to the show. It's rejecting me nine times to
even be here today. So if you feel like the
world is passing, you buy and that you can't keep
up with the Joneses or the Kardashians or the TikTok
stars or whoever that gen Z looks up to these days.
(49:31):
It is never too late to get started and try.
You can be someone they look up to. You can
change the narrative. Have a great night. I'll see you
next time here on the show that we call on
Time with Bobby Bones. Don't forget be excellent to each other.
Party on good night everybody. I guess Hey, this is
Joe from the Biz Tape podcast, a podcast that serves
as a catchall for music, business and media news of
(49:52):
the week. Srib and listen to the Biz Tape on
the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. So d m X sadly passed away
at fifty years old, like on April nine. I mean,
it was a real bummer. My friend group was really
in the DMX, so like they were all very you know,
sad and about it, and I listened to a lot
of his music, so I was kind of sad about everything.
(50:15):
But the real question now is like, what's going on
with this the state? You know what I mean? He's
had all these records and stuff in his fifteen children
would also like to know. Yeah, oh my god, fifteen children.
No shame at having fifteen children, but splitting something fifteen ways,
it's really hard to do. How many kids that Bob
Marley have? Just for comparison, I don't know. Let's see
(50:37):
what it is here, Let's look it up. What is uh,
let's see let's see what Joe looks that up. We're
gonna play this game where basically I'm gonna get you
all to guess how much you think d m x
is royalties are and all defined royalties here in a minute, Joe,
you got anything? Yeah, okay, Just for comparison, Bob Marley
um has eleven kids. Okay, So d m X beat him,
(51:00):
all right? So also that also bitter bitter estate battle
in there too, so this is gonna get rough. Um,
But Billboard did a fun thing where they tried to
guess using some calculations which I'll get into in a second, um,
how much kind of his catalog of music is worth.
So this revenue is coming from his master recordings and
(51:21):
his publishing. And this is all speculative, like they have
like some kind of comments that they base off and
all the fine don't right. And for you know viewers
that may not know, we're talking about master recording royalties,
which is the money that the label makes him for
quote unquote exploiting records. So this is like streaming CDs
and stuff like that, the actual recordings and exploiting in
(51:44):
the good way of that's just how every label contract
will say, we get to exploit your master recording. Then
the other side of the money is the publishing money,
the publishing royalties, and that's money paid to the songwriter,
which is DMX in this is for copies of his
song that are made. So we're talking about streaming CDs,
but this also includes sinc deals and anything else that
(52:07):
you actually need publishing rights for. Also, this can be
you know, made smaller by co writers, so keep that
in mind. So, Joe, I'm gonna give you some notable
d m X facts. And with this information, I want
you to guess I will give you. I would say this,
let's start out. It's obviously more than zero, so the
easy one there for you. Um, and it's less than
(52:32):
your high ball when we were talking about it earlier,
which Joe still doesn't know the fifty million dollars. It's
in between zero and fifty million if you're keeping it
at home. So here's some fun facts that may raise
or lower your guests. On the Billboard Top one hundred,
he has appeared sixteen times, eleven times as a lead artist,
but only has beat the top forty three times, with
(52:54):
the highest at seventeen. Okay, so we're you know, he
had some He had a lot of hits, but nothing
like crazy, didn't have a number one, didn't have anything
like that, most notably, which is nuts. And most people
will be like, I think blindside of this, because I was.
He is the first artist ever to have their first
five albums go number one on the Billboard two five
(53:16):
in a row. That has never been done before debut
and the first and the next four we're number one.
So yeah, alright, this calculation was made assuming he has
a fifty fifty publishing deal with a publishing entity. So
he's basically splitting his royalty of publishing money in half
(53:37):
on top, like I was saying earlier, of having other
songs that could have co writers, which then he'd have
to split it even more. So, just keep in mind,
is publishing money is fifty assuming because we're assuming he
had a publishing deal, and then the calculation for his
master recording royalty was made that he gets an eight
(53:58):
royalty on physical old sales and on digital sales. And
then I didn't add this in here, Joel, but we're
assuming that he's on that he's recouped. He doesn't owe
anything to the label, He doesn't have anything from publishing
or anything like that, so this would be so just
to be clear, this is the money that he's pocketing.
(54:19):
This is the money he's pocketing after after this, after
the labels cuts, after this publishing entity cut, and after
you know, co writers are taking cuts of stuff. This
is the evaluation of all of that money. How much
money do you think this money is worth? Again? Between
zero and fifty million. Here, I'll get it fun. I
will give you, I'll give you one guess, and I'll
(54:42):
tell you higher or lower and then you get another guess. Okay, okay, okay,
So don't look at the word document because I'll okay,
I got to look away. Um. So I'm thinking, um
because like with any artists like this, when whenever they
pass away, they do have a spike and S's streams
very smart, and I think maybe it's valued higher now
(55:06):
than what it could be maybe three year or four
years down the line. Um. But i'm gonna say you
said less than fifty million, less than fifty million, Okay,
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna highball it. Still, I'm gonna say, like,
I'm gonna say, like thirty five million, lower, lower than
that lower? Oh god, yeah, man, okay, also lower than
(55:30):
thirty five million. This man, isn't you know zero dollars?
This is a very going to be insane as you're
gonna be a stupid number. I don't think it's stupid.
I think it makes sense based on what I told you.
But it's okay, I'm gonna people, Okay, I'm gonna go
the obstruction. I'm gonna go pretty well, I'm gonna say
ten million, okay, Well, it's actually half of your first number.
(55:52):
Basically it is seventeen point seven million dollars. Oh man,
that has to get split up in between fifteen he
had five number one He had five number one albums,
which is kind of important in this case. Um, alright,
so I want to open this up. So first off,
this estate is going to be a nightmare because there's
(56:13):
so many kids. Fifteen people have claims to this money,
and not to mention that they have to pay lawyer fees. Um,
if maybe he has debt or anything like that, they
have to get that together and everything. This money is
up there like the Michael Jackson the state and being
fought over in princes of state and being fought over
(56:35):
and trying to figure out what's going on with this
money years, and like the point is is that the
longer they wait on this money, you know what I mean,
It's like the longer they wait, the more fees get
taken out. They gotta pay place. You know, if he
has property, they gotta pay the property if they's got
you know, the longer the lawyer has to work, the
(56:56):
more money that is. And then again fifteen times times,
so like this is a big deal. I mean, and
I literally was talking to a friend of ours who's
a lawyer, and she was like, man, I would love
to see those documents. Like so, I mean see it
or work on it. I feel like working on it
would be insanely do not work. I would not want
(57:18):
to work on it unless they were like, we will
give you our portion of the seventeen million, which like
and he had he had no will or anything. Um,
I don't know about that yet. They haven't really specified specifically.
But even then with a will, it can be contested,
it can have issues with that. I mean, okay, first off,
I just did the calculation. If we evenly split it
(57:39):
seventeen fifteen ways, it's one point one eight mill Wow. Okay.
And then here's the other part that we're completely forgetting.
This isn't liquid money. So this is like money that
can come in and grow in value. Which is funny
that you said that you think it will go down
because Rolling Stone, I'm not rolling So Billboard actually has
the opposite. For an interesting reason for our listeners is
(58:02):
because they think the publishing money will grow because traditionally
rock and roll music has the highest kind of publishing
rate because it's very songwriter focused. But there's been an
increase in the industry and Billboard predicted this and I've
seen this in other places that raps publishing revenue will
increase over time due to the fan base becoming larger
(58:25):
people who you know, since rock and roll older and older,
since the fan base of rock and roll diminishes as
it you know, becomes less of a primary genre, and
then the you know, kids that grew up specifically with
just rap and hip hop as the main genre grow,
then you could see that getting more expensive. Um, it's
actually interesting because if you compare the two genres, there's
(58:47):
a lot of similarities and in how they grew and
where they are in their in their place basically, like
even even it's almost like one to one time frame
of like between know, some dude in his basement to
now it's it's like mainstream arena tours happening. So it yeah,
that is very interesting and I actually never thought about that. Yeah,
(59:09):
isn't that It's such a weird thing to think about,
but you know, I mean it makes it makes sense.
But so that publishing money, you know, assuming that they're
going to keep that rate going and everything, then uh,
that could be that could be just increasing in value.
So that's the thing is like who needs this money,
you know, especially if it's publishing money and they have
rights of it, and it's like, fifteen people have to
(59:32):
get together and figure out are we selling our publishing rights?
That's a problem. Like that's just gonna be hard to do,
and I'm sure somebody will be you know what i mean.
Like if some publishing company came up to them and
was like, oh, we would like to buy the remainder
of the publishing split, you have to go clear that
with fifteen people, you know, fifteen or do you would you?
(59:54):
I guess depending if they have is like you wouldn't
get you wouldn't it wouldn't be split up, depending if
they have legitimacy of the rights. Also, like again this
is what I'm wondering with the will and stuff like that.
I mean, if one kid had like one album and
the other kid that would be hilarious. Well, I mean
it's just more of like it depends on his will
and everything and how that is. And like we've seen.
(01:00:17):
The crazy partis we've seen celebrities with no will. Prince
had no will at all. That's still nuts to me.
No will, and so like I have no idea, you know,
it's up in the air, if he had a will
and had that like all put together, and if that
will is legitimate to be used. And finally, my point
is is Joe may remember from our MTSU days, recapturing
of works is up on the table. So if you
(01:00:39):
don't know about this, uh, Basically, to summarize this way down,
there is a policy and copyright law where you can
recapture ownership of your songs basically um and then and
that can be the publishing money and the songwriter money.
It's the master recordings and stuff like that. It's a
very long process. You have to wait, I believe thirty
five years to do it. Now the thirty five years
(01:01:02):
for DMX for like recordings which are like the beginning
of the really valuable recordings of his career, would become
could come into ownership as soon as twenty three. But
it's an extensive filing process to get all that together.
You have to be on the ball with it. You
have to file ten years before. So they would have
(01:01:23):
to file in and then that enables them to have
full ownership of those recordings. So their old label that
he was under would not have ownership of those recordings
if they get it to do right. We've seen like
a passing story even the other day where Dwight Yoakum
is getting denied his rights because he might have been
five days late because of the label not seeing it,
(01:01:46):
like not sending it a time not to go in
another story, but just as proof of like you know this,
this is messy. Yeah, it gets very messy. So um.
If they get that though, then they can renegotiate to
have those records exploited with another company and then maybe
you can get a better deal you know what I mean,
and make more money. And then usually when you make
a deal like that with a big catalog, they might
(01:02:07):
give you an advance, you know what I mean, or
something like that.
What's Happen to Friends? Hello, welcome to another edition of
On Time with Me Bobby Bones. I am your host,
Bobby Bones. I have been described for those of you
that don't know me as he's what you get if
you were to take Clay Aikin and Weezer and put
them together and subtract all the talent. That's me And
I'm no treat by myself. That's probably not why you're
(00:31):
watching this. But I've got some amazing people stopping by
the show. We have my friend Gary Lavox of Rascal
Flat stopping by. He's gonna play this song. We also
have new artists Laney Wilson stopping by. She's gonna play
some music too. She's also on the way to becoming
a big old star. So we have music, we have guests.
We're gonna play some games. You guys can also write
questions in the box and I'll ask some of them too.
(00:53):
So and if you're really lucky, I'll show you guys
my third nipple. See you'll even learn some things about me.
But when we get to our guests, I was like
to kick things off with the shortest monologue and all
the land just wham bam, thank you for the question.
Thank you for the joke. Man. It's three quick jokes.
We've appropately titled three jokes for the folks. Here we
go home. Joke number one, Scientists are warning us that
(01:15):
it's time to bust out the year plugs, as trillions
of cicadas are emerging from their seventeen year long hibernation
to mate seventeen years. That's not so bad, Listen, it's
been forty one for me. I haven't made it yet.
You don't see me s forming all over the place.
Sam saving that from a wedding night. It's just a
sexy wink. Moving on to joke number two, it's being
(01:36):
reported in Canada fans are being contacted by profiles pretending
to be Chad Kroger, the lead singer of Nickelback. Some
have said the fake profile has asked them for money
in the form of bitcoin or iTunes gift cards. As
if Nickelback fans didn't have it roughen up already, wait
till they realize it is actually Chad Kroger of Nickelback.
(01:56):
That's right. And finally, joke number three, Target announced they
will stop the sale of Pokemon cards after a man
pulled a gun during a fight over trading cards in
their parking lot. They described the event as the nerdiest
felony in the history of American crime. He actually asked
the police, can I my mommy come pick me up
from jail. Gotta love America, the only place where it's
easy to buy a gun in the store but impossible
(02:17):
to buy Pokemon cards. That's right. Hit that music there
it is? Those are three jokes for the folks. Thank
you very much. Is music still going? Or am I
just making the music all right? Before we get to
our first musical guest. Let me check in with my
fiance Caitlin. That's right here she comes. You can follow
(02:38):
her on Instagram at kate cy Parker. And later I
go check out our episode of running Wild with bear
Grills that we did. She's gonna walk through that door
at anytime. There she is. Thank you, Come on in,
have a seat. Thank you. How are you pretty good?
How how's your day been? And what did you do
(02:59):
this after and in this afternoon? What time does that start?
I don't know. It's a good question. The afternoon four
five oh? I went to a spin class. How did
that five? Great? When we spin and I'm beside you.
Do you watch how fast I'm going? Do you compare
the output that you feel like you're putting out versus mine?
(03:21):
Because I feel like you dominate me. I'll be honest,
I feel like that as well, but I don't really
watch you that much. Well, you're not doing the moves.
I don't do the dance moves because I can't keep
up right here, Here's what I've learned about this spin class.
I put my grind on too hard, and when I'm
peddling hard, I can't do the dance moves with my
arms on the right pace. And so as you guys
(03:43):
are all nailing them, I'm off. But I'm still getting
pretty your workout's choice there? How did interesting analogy? How
did class go today? That's great? Yeah? Good instructor? High
energy was packed and I got to ride next to
someone I know. Should I like? It's fun? Did you
see Gary l Box in the waiting room? I did,
(04:05):
and I waved at him. I had to come in here.
I would have loved to stop buying and chatted for
a bit, but um, I just got a quick wave in.
And how did you get right in here? For my interview?
She feel solid about the wave. I think he liked it,
he smiled. Yeah, it was like, you know, it's awkward
because you're like I think you probably know who I
am like, but you just never know, so I didn't
(04:28):
want to be too like he hung out at the house.
He's a big star. He has a big star. Is
there anything you want me to ask him when he
comes in? Any question? He's a big starme. You want
to ask him off camera? Yeah? Something I'll text I'm
on camera, I'll text it to you. Does it have
(04:50):
to do with him being naked? No? Last night we
watched our episode of Running Wild with Bear Girls, which
people can still watch right now at National Geographic dot Com.
How did you feel about your performance? My performance? Like
how I did on camera? How you came off? He
(05:10):
didn't love it. I mean, I just don't like to
watch myself, so I didn't love it. But I am
very proud of myself for doing it. So I think
those are two different things. How did I feel about
my performance? How did I feel about what I accomplished?
What was it like doing that episode? Awful? Scary, um, cold, scary, terrifying.
(05:39):
It really wasn't fun right, No, there wasn't one bit
of it that was fun. The only good thing about
the actual time there was Bear because he is the
greatest right in the moment, the only the only good
thing was there after it. It's all good, it's all fun,
it's all great memory. Happy we did it. People loved it,
though I felt there was a good spots. I guess, yeah,
(06:01):
you were the star of the show, bell of the ball.
It's not the star of the show in the parade. No,
people just see you a lot and they don't see
me a lot. So that's why I'm sure you're feeling
that way. I loved it. I thought that I should
have just been you next season you go alone. Oh
I don't want that because you really like Bear. No, No,
I I don't want to go alone. But I I'm
(06:22):
happy I did it. I'm happy that I stood up
to a fear of mine. I was actually I'll just
tell you story. Today. I was in spin and my
instructor was talking about kind of how she started her
spin class. And I know this is probably cliche, and
we all know I'll know this saying, but she was saying, um,
when you feel scared about something, just do it. Scared
(06:45):
and that's what I want to do from now on.
I just want to do it scared, regardless of what
it is. I don't need to work up courage to
do it. I just need to do it scared. And
that's what I did the whole time during Bear Girls. Sorry,
I got distracted because Mike was taking a picture and
I was like, oh, Mike, do you look at you? Oh? Good? Okay,
So anyway, for any of you that are actually watching this,
whatever you're thinking that you want to do, but you
(07:06):
don't feel like you have the courage, and you're like,
maybe I'll have the courage in a week. Maybe I'll
have the courage in a couple of weeks. You won't,
So do it scared. That's okay. You don't have to
have the courage. Sometimes you only get couraged by fighting
through fear. Sure, yeah, thank you. Um. I like how
you just addressed the camera, just you just totally take
over and you turn right to the camera. Them Like,
(07:27):
don't know if I could help anybody. My idea has
written some questions for me to ask. Would you like
to answer them? What? I? Yeah? What kind of sleeper
is Bobby? Um? A flailer? Elaborate that kind of a
thing like that, or like I was talking your sleep,
(07:51):
or you wake up and you request me to hug you.
Sometimes I do that. I wake up and I'm like,
I can't go to sleep, but you hug me. No,
he goes like, he goes me. Mike's giggling. I do,
and then she's big spoon and a little spoon. I
don't care. It's the only way I get the only
way I get to sleep. I don't let her put
(08:11):
her hand on my stomach though, or near my stomach,
because I'm embarrassing my stomach because he has body dysmorphia
and we're working through that. So she can put her
arm over me, but it it has to be like up here. Yeah,
it's got to be shoulder or like pit. Yeah and pit.
That ends up not with a great smell in the
morning on your hand. What song do you love to
sing in the car? Me? What song do I love
(08:34):
to sing in the car? Um? I'll tell you right now,
come on drives last as last. No, that's so two
months ago, okay, if it was all right now? Well,
my staple really is Adore You by Harry Styles. But
Olivia Rodrigo actually has a new song out called good
for you, and it's really good. Check it out. Did
you ever consider changing your last name to bones even
on Instagram? Not one time? And final question, what's the
(08:56):
one thing you learned about Bobby in the last week?
In the last week, Mike that stuff? What did I
learn about you in the last week? Um, that you
are very willing to help me with wedding things such
as meetings, if I will just ask you. Yeah, And
we went to Crane Barrel and did some boop boop
(09:17):
on the board where we went to register. But we're
out of gifts at this point, like people have sucked
them all and now my parents have nothing to get us,
so we need to chill out on the details. But um, okay,
thank you. Yeah, I was pretty good at the said right,
(09:39):
you were great? Yeah, scanned boo boops? Did you scan
your stuff? Mike? You did rettert online. She went back
and did some registering online and as soon as we've finished,
she went right to the registered and Eddie already bought
us a juicer before we even got so generous, like
the oh my gosh, wait time out, can you send
me where you're like, we don't have a gift for
you yet, because I've asked him to ask you, I
(10:00):
know he hasn't, and I didn't want to ask Kelsey
because I know she has like nine thousand things on
her plate. So can you send? All right there? She
is my fiance and yours just just mine, Caitlin Parker. Everybody,
thank you, thank you for always being our first guest.
Only three more episodes to go by. Yeah we're doing
it's a six pack. Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, you
(10:24):
go over in the chat. We got a lot of
people over here that are like, uh, is this where
Gary Lavox is gonna be on? It is momentarily. That's
from Cat McQueen um kells Zack said, Gary put the
wrong year all on Facebook, so people are going to
something else. I don't know. All right, here we go.
Let's welcome my first guest, well musical guest. He's the
lead singer of Rascal Flats and will soon be releasing
(10:46):
his first ever Christian solo album. He has the voice
of an angel and the only guy know who works
out in full camouflage. I've seen it with my own eyes.
Welcome to the show. Gary Levox, thank you, thank you.
What do you what's in your hand? That's true. Did
(11:10):
you did you grab it from out there? Really? I
really did? Nice? Do me sign that for you? Yes,
that's why I brought it nice nice Okay. Oh, by
the way, Gary brought merch for me. They are what
these are? There's a branded Lavox wear. Yea. He broke
really struggling and you need to Yeah. Yeah, I'm just
(11:31):
trying to with the Yeah, but these are. I do
love the logo. Thanks, Like what who designed this? He did? Yeah?
I did. Really, Here's Freedom Farms. What's Spreedom Farms? That's
that's my farm outside of Nashville. I will I will
wear this black one. Yeah. Good, I brought him for you.
You'll sell many and you'll be able to pay your mortgage,
(11:52):
which is the goal. You're even wearing a wristband? Now?
Why a wristband in the evening on a internet talk show? Well,
you know what? It just I know how you have
to turn all the air conditioners off and it gets
hot and so I adap okay, you know because you
maybe we're makeup and things and it's like a dap
I do okay. Um onto the real questions at hand. Here,
(12:16):
Why a solo album and why a why did you
start with a Christian album? Why a solo album? Because
Jodan came to us one day and said that he
wanted to be home war said he was burnt and
he's burnt out? Are you serious? And so that kind
of we're like, okay, all right, we respect that. And
(12:38):
so I had already kind of planned on doing one
and didn't really know when it was gonna happen, because
you know, Flats, we've been a thousand miles a minute
for twenty years. And so when Jodon told us that,
we're like, okay, well, that opens it up. And I
always want to do a gospel record. I always did,
and um it just all of it kind of came
(12:59):
together and here we go. And then Friday at uh
it drops the EP drops. Were you shocked? And I
do want to get to the peaks that heard a
lot of it. Hecky played some unreleas stuff in my
house like three months ago. So so so I've kind of,
you know, been to the process. But were you Did
you expect Jodan to come and be like, hey, guys,
we gotta take a break. No, I really didn't, I mean,
(13:20):
you know, not really because it was that was year nineteen,
and we had a lot of things booked for the
twenty year and everything else with trying to put the
farewell tour together, and we had a lot of things
set up with, uh, you know, the Grammys and c
m As and all this kind of kind of just
celebrate the twenty years that we had together, you know,
and all the accomplishments that we've done. And then the
(13:42):
pandemic hit. So no, it was kind of out of
left field, and uh, you know, but what can you do?
Did you and j Ever go, hey, we'll just do
this as a duo? Was it even a conversation? It
was a conversation. And but Joe j had started, uh
that a little Christian label, the independent label called Red
(14:02):
Street Records, and he wanted to make a go with that,
and I was like, well that's cool. So I was like,
you know, I still I feel like my platform is
the stage, and I still had so much music to make,
and so I just stayed on my artists route, and
I mean, it's stick with what you're good at, and
that's what I wanted to do. And did you feel
like you needed a break for a bit though after this,
(14:23):
where you like, I need to just kind of recalibrate.
I did not expect this. I spent the last twenty
years being a flat Did you have any nights we
are like wait, what is about to happen? Or were
you like, Okay, this actually gives me an opportunity to
go chase this solo record. It was both. Actually it
was kind of it was sad, it was disheartening, it
was exciting, it was you know, it was kind of
(14:45):
everything at once because everything I've known for half of
my life is now going to be changed and can
gonna be different. So but it gave me, you know,
it gave me the time to to really lock in
and um, you know, not only did I do a
gospel record, but I already recorded a solo country record
that comes out in the fall. So I just gave it.
I just kind of just threw myself into my music
and just let it be. Let you know, you gotta
(15:08):
play the hands that are dealt sometimes. So the record
comes out Friday. It's called One on One? Why why
one on one? Well, it's kind of I think, just
me doing a gospel record, just me and my my
my faith walk with the Lord. And it's the first
time that it's just been me. I mean, I've been
(15:29):
the face of Flats for twenty years and now it's
just one on one, me and him and me and
the fans. So just kind of made sense. Do you
plan to go out and play any of these songs live? Yeah? Yeah,
I'll be doing all the flat stuff. And that's the question, right,
So you're gonna sing the flat stuff? I think you should.
I think if I went out, I'd want to hear
(15:50):
some of the new stuff. But if I'm going to see,
you know, the face of the Flats, dang it sing
the flats. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. So what do
you do as far as a band? You just get
your buddies that know of the songs. No, it's it's
actually the same. It's it's actually all the Rascal Flats band,
Jim Riley, it's my drummer, Travis Toyo plays steel and
everything else. He's still with me, and so it's the
(16:11):
actual the actual Flatspan just minus Jane Jodan gotta do
bass player and um, you know my keyboard players sings
all the hot stuff to it on sing and so
it's the same band, just minus Jane general. I mean
we'd really get the full experience if you kind of
dressed them up to look like them and we know
they're not, but you know you still like color, the hair,
you know, maybe even throw them back to old school
one night Jo, you know he had the long yeah,
(16:31):
I mean, no sleeves. Yeah, just just maybe just a vest.
But yeah, yeah, because when you look back, I was
looking at the multiple pictures of you guys. I mean,
you guys were now it's normal, but style wise, you
were extremely different than the format. Were you guys getting
a lot of the pushback from the old school Nashville
(16:52):
folks at the time. Yeah, I mean I think everything
anything new and country, I think you always do. Plus
we came in at the tail into the whole boy
band thing and so all that kind of played into it.
But you know, I mean we're sitting there like, you
know what we're not. We're not cowboys, you know, I
mean we live that lifestyle, you know. I mean, I'm
(17:12):
his country as corn breads with which is crazy because
you are. But I mean you Gary legitimately is significantly
more country. And it's usually the opposite, right, people will
come and act a little show a little more country
than they really are. It's like you're the opposite. Like
you come out, you're straight ahead, jel, you put that
your hair product in, you sing. But when we're done here,
(17:34):
he's in Camo and he's like, hey, man, come out
to the farm. And I'm like, that's an hour and
a half away. He's like, no man would have sit
on the porch and like spitting cows. And I'm like,
what's what are you? What are you talking about? Your
getting the box? So, but you do live and you
hunt constantly. Yeah, I mean it's just the way I
grew up. But you know, it's it's like they're but
(17:55):
it's just who I am. You know, I just gotta
be real to who you are. And you know, but
it's like I've never wrote it, Calf, you know, I
saw it while I'm not gonna sit out and put
a cowboy hat on and try to play up to
something that I'm not. You know. So I wasn't here
in Nashville when you guys broke and when you guys
(18:15):
were winning the it's the Grammys, Like I wasn't here
and I was actually, I mean probably twenties and we
would watch on TV. It was a fan and we
would start to play. I was working in Pop Radio
two at the time. We're playing some of your stuff
over there, So I'm I missed the impact you guys
had on Nashville. Were you guys king dingling of the
(18:36):
talent for a while? It? For yeah, we really had
just kind of held the torchs for yeah. I mean
a long time. Really. I mean it's I mean, two
thousand and six, we outsold everybody in the world that
put a record out in any genre music, you know.
So and I remember being at the Grammy's up against
Beyonce and Mary J. Blige and Kanye and jay Z,
(18:59):
and we're like, it doesn't matter if we win or not.
We outsold everybody in this room. That's you can't even
fathom that kind of stuff. So, I mean, we had
a you know, I mean, it's made the Guinness Book
with you know, seven consecutive c M a vocal group.
I mean, all that stuff is just mind blowing. We
had the We're kind of top dog there for a
(19:19):
minute for sure. Were you in Entertainer of the Year member,
which which is crazy to me because I was gonna
let you answer no, because I knew the answer. I
looked it up. The fact that you weren't allowed or
they didn't put you in that when you were the
actual entertainers of not just country music, but you said it.
You're out telling everybody. I think even as the success
(19:41):
was happening, I still would have had some sort of resentment, like, hey,
why aren't you guys putting us because we're not when
Cowboy has? Is that why we're upset about it? We were?
We thought it was well deserved. I mean it's like,
you know, we're the first band to ever play Wrigley Field,
first country concert to ever play Wrigley I mean at
that time, it's like we've sold out four different tours
(20:02):
at Madison Square Garden, and hey, we were doing big stuff,
and it was like every year we weren't an entertainer
and was like what how does that even happen? You know,
It's like and then you go and it's like you
start thinking about that stuff, and then the hand your
plaque for ten million tickets sold and you know, all
that stuff. It kind of it sits with you. Not
(20:22):
that we weren't you know, grateful, but you know you
kind of just sit and scratch your head, like, uh,
there's not really anything else we can do, Like I
would have been again, I would have resented the people
that make those decisions because it's such an inside bubble
decision that's being made. And I would think you guys
were so successful. And I've seen other this happened to
other people in town too. Uh. Sam Hunt for example,
(20:45):
he had a couple of years where he was crushing,
not at the level you guys worked, but he and
he wasn't be nominated for anything. And it's like, Wow,
why are we so out of touch? Why do we
have to to to make it that only a certain
type of sin that we deem which removes the power
from the people. And I felt like they removed that
(21:05):
with you guys. Yeah, I feel the same way. I
think like Single of the Year, take the top five
singles with the most spins or whatever, and that should
be your top five, you know. I mean it seems
easy to me, but that's not the politics of the game,
you know. And as you guys are achieving superstardom, did
it ever get to where it was eagles like like
(21:27):
we have own dressing rooms, were just coming out and
meeting on stage or was there was there ever a
phase like that. No. You know, the only time there
was a phase like that was when it was like
we were like no, because we spent every night on
the dressing rooms together and all that. But it was busses,
you know, because we started having kids and all of that.
But that was the only time. But it was like,
all right, I'm not picking up your socks, I'm not
(21:50):
picking up your food. We're grown men in this place
that we're not doing it. So we all got separate
busses and everything was great. But now we spent every
night in the dress room together. Was there ever, Because
once you start making big money, you start flying private
from shows. Was there ever one of you guys? I
was like, I don't want to spend the Flats money
on a plane. Let's take a bus. Did that ever,
(22:10):
You're almost let's go, Dan. What do you get recognized
more for the lead singer of the Flats or the
guy who's faces on the moving trucks? Flats for sure,
Flats for sure, black Time movie. It's funny. I get
a lot of people around town stuff. I get more
(22:32):
pictures of people like sitting in traffic and something says
black Time moving to my face on there and We're like, dude,
what but no flats for sure? Um a question that
I was gonna ask. I know the answer to it,
because Michael was like, hey, ask him this question, but
I'll also help with the answer. He says, do you
ever just show up random me to a house that
your company is working on? Let me answer, Let me
(22:53):
answer this one. And I don't know if he does randomly,
but I hired Black Time Moving to move me in here.
And I get a call going, hey, man, where you yet,
I'm like at them at the house. He goes, hey'
truck So I'm about to show up and he drives
up right beside his truck and he came over and
we hung out for like an hour and he was
like all right, and that was it. No way broke
anything the end of it. And he was in a
(23:14):
white tie. He wore the tuxedo to It was the
whole thing I mentioned. And we'll get to some music
in a second, but I mentioned and it's a true story.
It's my favorite story because it was before I knew
you um as a person. But we lived in the
same neighborhood and there's a little gym in the neighborhood
and I was working out and when I don't wear
my glasses, I can't see anything. And I was doing
some cardio and I just there's some guy that kind
(23:38):
of waved at me. But he was in full camo.
He was on a bike in full camo. I was like,
and so I put my glasses on and then full camo,
full turkey hunting gear. Is Gary going? Are you doing? Dumbbellans?
Would you you have an interesting family? I know your
daughter when your daughter a little bit too? Um? Would
(24:00):
you guys ever? Do you know a show a family
show like Jay did? Uh? No, No, I don't. Like
I wouldn't want to live with cameras all the time.
You know. It's like you, you know, I wouldn't want
cameras around me all the time. By way, you know
how you know how you take a break and you
don't you know me, I take a lot of breaks. Um, okay,
two things I want to bring up and then we're
(24:21):
gonna get to the because it's just things it's better
to bring up on camera. Um. It was who like
one in the morning, maybe like three weeks ago. I
got a text from you at one in the morning.
It's like, hey, get in my clubhouse room, and I
was like, I can't get in your club. I don't
even know what you were talking. You're talking about something
like foreign money bitcoin. I thought it would be like
(24:42):
so I I go, okay, I said, I can't. I'm
gonna get in trouble because Caitlin's all sleep next to me, like,
just get in the room. It's like going in your
room and it's like how to jeopardize bitcoins transactional and
I'm like, I don't even know what this is. I
thought we were talking about the history of the flats.
So I get out a text the next day and
I was like, what were you doing up? You're like,
oh man, we're writing until like one we got into
(25:03):
clubhouse to like five in the more like you you
go hard, but in a different way. Now yeah, I
just yeah, because you know, just getting motive. I have
nothing to do the next day, so now I can
stay up on that. It's not like I have to
go to work the next day. My second favorite story
just recently happened. Or I text Gary and I said, hey,
you have an arst to Pete to the wedding yet
and Caitlin' kind of on I've never had a wedding before.
(25:23):
She's like, hey, because apparently have to pick out what
people eat, like people have to go hey. I said, hey,
Arst to the wedding, and you said you were coming.
I was like, just make it easy on me so
I don't have to. And I send the text and nothing,
no response, And I'm like, well, that's interesting, Gary. We're
usally pretty quick with text with each other and no,
no problem. Who knows what you're doing, right, you could
probably be like doing some charitable work. I don't know.
(25:46):
I look over on Instagram and he's selling hats. He's
selling Gary Lavox hats and I'm like, I'm watching. You
can't return to text. You gotta make eight bucks selling
one of these hats. I'm like, hey, yeah, I'm Arst.
I just sign. It was weird because I had to
sign those hats because we were leaving for Florida in
like two hours, so I just in the fifteen seconds
(26:08):
and just the respond of the text would have totally shifted.
But I did that. I wasn't I was in I
was in motion. You know, how do we okay in
these hats? Here? I'm gonna wear this one too, But
how do we get this hat. Just go to Gary
Lavox dot com yep, and it's got all shirts and
hats and grisp all all the oxwear stuff. I do
want to try that. I went to the post office
(26:30):
today to find a phone book because I don't have
actual Yes, because you know how they say Gary can
sing the phone book and make it good. You've heard
that phrase, right. I went There was no phone book.
They looked at me like I was stupid. They're like,
why do you want a phone book? I was like, well,
gear to the boxes coming to the house. I'd like
to hear him sing the phone book. And they were like,
I'm sorry, we don't have a phone book. However I
had this, Well, maybe it's just a couple of lines.
(26:53):
This is stock investing for dummies. It's the closest thing
I had to a phone book. Maybe open it up
sing it's a few lines, all right, So why don't
you choose a promise singing sector? Just select large cap
companies that are financially strong, earning a prophet, have a
(27:16):
load death and our market lead. Oh, this entire book
shows you how to choose just than Yeah. However, you
may not like the idea of buying stocks directly. No, no, no,
(27:36):
don't buy stocks directly. There is fantastic which, by the way,
I believe that's what I was hearing you talk about
in the clubhouse room singing it the same way, and
let's bring your guys in. Let's do it. I gotta
Gary had some players there. Just bring them on in.
I was talking with them earlier. What is that instrument
with the funny strings. It's a guitar. Yeah, it's a
it's a dough bro. It's a doughe bro. Got it

You're both out of here about kicked out? Okay, okay,
I need to bring my next guest in because okay,
(34:20):
um up next, I want to welcome to artist that
is destined to be a superstar. Not only she just awesome.
She's our country on the verge. Artists are selling things
a man, I don't know us climbing up the country
charts right now. She describes her music as country with
the flare. She is the best handed Montana personator that
I know. Welcome Landy Wilson, everybody. Hil Do you get
(34:43):
a chance to meet Gary? Had you met him before
you met Gary? Pretty cool today? Yeah, just so normal.
Well normal is not the word I would use, but
it's so approachable and friendly. Gosh, make just sat down
on the couch and we just started talking about a
little bit everything. So it's interesting to see you now
becoming the star. I always felt you would be because
we met years ago. I was watching Blanco Brown's going
(35:08):
to do the two step and yeah, so I messaged you.
I messaged Laney on Instagram and was like hey, because
you were doing the dance with him, and I said, hey,
can you teach me this? And Laney's like yeah, sure,
she goes, I mean I'll come over. I say, we'll
put you in the video, and well you can teach us,
and you said I'll call Blanco and I was like, well,
(35:28):
that's extremely nice to her because I was saying, hey,
you could do and you're like, no, we'll do one.
Now we're gonna get the real deal involved. And then
you and Blanco came into the house and then you
don't even You're like, I don't need to be in
the video. And I was like wow, heng Now, I
was like, people who really know it, y'all get accurate.
I'm just here to kind of help the siltate. But
it was it just showed me just how awesome of
a person you were, and that you also knew that
(35:50):
your time was coming, that wasn't gonna be your time.
You had your own reason. Yeah. It's funny too, though,
Like we put that video up on YouTube and I
put so many dangs. You was a me singing on YouTube,
and of course I put one of me dancing. The
thing goes viral and I'm like, shoot, I should have
been dancing. So now to see you, you know, blow up.
(36:10):
It's been crazy because we did the our Raging Idiot
Show last year, no two years oh, because the pandemic,
we didn't have it. And you came out and did
Fat Bottom Girls by Queen and and you crushed so hard.
The crowd didn't know you at the time, but when
you were done, they loved you. I couldn't get them
to stop clapping. It was wild. That was my first
time playing the rhyman. I mean, I will never forget it.
(36:31):
And got up there and of course I think fat
Bottom Girl, but I just remember you crushing it so
hard that the crowd was like, we don't know her yet,
but we think we're going to know her. That's the goal.
Every time I get up there, I'm like, they don't
know me from Adam, but when I get done with this,
they don't know me. So what's the difference now in
the feeling of when you have a song climbing the charts?
Right now. It's so strange. I mean, actually, I was
(36:53):
at home in Louisiana not too long ago that tractor supply,
and uh, this guy came up to me was like,
are you that girl that sings that song about what
a man out? So he recognized you. Yeah, and I
was like, yeah, you work at tractor supply, So I
guess you do know a few things that mayn't ought
to know. But it's been it's been interesting. It's uh,
it's just like you, like you said a minute ago,
(37:14):
I've always just kind of felt like my time was coming. Um,
I've never had a plan. B So at some point
in time, this gotta work and used to drive back
and forth and used to tour like you would go
home like you'd be here and try to make it,
but then you you had to pay the bills, so
you would just drive home and play shows down there. Yep.
So I was living at a camper, and I lived
(37:35):
in the camp for in the first three years I
was here, and I was living in a studio parking
lot somebody who was just letting me live in their
yard basically and let me bumb you know, their water
and WiFi. So I didn't have a whole lot of bills,
you know. I mean I had to buy groceries and
gas money and stuff like that. So I go home
to Louisiana or Mississippi and just play as many shows
as I could and just try to make ends meete. Yep,
(37:58):
was there ever a time where you saw it? Man,
I just don't know if I can do this, and
I'm I don't think I'm gonna do this. What's crazy
is no, like, I'm I have to be a little
borderline crazy because there there were times in my life
where I should have packed my stuff and went home absolutely,
But um, you know, I've just I'm a little hard headed,
(38:19):
and I just kind of always felt like, you know,
I mean, this is what I was, I was born
to do, and I will figure out one way or another.
And I got really supportive parents. And my daddy's a farmer,
and I've seen him like get up every single day
and just do the dame thing, you know, I mean,
like work his fingers to the bone and it's his
livelihood and he has bad years, good years, but at
(38:41):
the end of the day, like, if you love it,
you do it. So are they so proud of you? Oh,
they're so tickled. I mean to for them to turn
on their local country station and hear their daughter on
the radio. What what does that do for them? Well, actually,
Daddy was righting the tractor the other day and um,
they just finished playing corn and he called me, and
(39:02):
it was really a full circle thing for me. It
was just wild because any time I ever wanted to
spend time with him, I'd have to go right the
tractor with him because he was just always at it.
So he called me, and I don't remember what I
was doing, but he just said, hey, I'm out here,
just you know, I'm on the tractor out in the field,
and I just wanted to let you know I just
heard you on the countdown and I was like, well,
(39:24):
now I'm about to school. So it was just you
could just hear in his voice. He don't have to
tell me that he's proud of me, but he is. Man,
that's so cool. Have you played a show? And I
guess you probably haven't played a show back home since
you know, the pandemic, because you really there hasn't been
a lot of shows. Well, you know, just now, are
you starting to go out at all? Have you been
out at all? To play anything. Yeah, so we've done
some stuff out West Idaho, Wyoming. We've got some stuff. Shoot,
(39:48):
where are we going this weekend? And see, that's the
best thing is when you start because you're you're getting
some when you forget where you're going, because you're just
like a hundred miles an hour, things are coming at
you like congratulations. Because when I I saw you go
where are we going? Like that's the first step and
just making it like thank God, you get to go.
I'm running so hard and I'm so tired that I
(40:09):
can't remember that's the greatest blessing. I'm so pumped, like
I cannot get out there quick enough. I mean, yeah,
we're we're in uh Austin and Decatur, Illinois this weekend.
And it's just nice to see people. Yeah, the first
time you play a show back home, you're gonna be
just so moved. To have your people seeing your music
(40:32):
bag is going to be another milestone for you. Here
and there. Like I've seen like in a few different places,
like we played somewhere in Arizona and I saw some
people singing a lot of the songs, and I mean
I've never seen that, and it did make me feel
all warm and fuzzy, and I was like, Wow, this
is like what you work so hard for, you know,
(40:52):
for people to just connect and latch onto something. And
I mean that's a songwriter's dream, you know. So my
hometown seven hundred people. Your hometown baskets three hundred, you know.
I mean, apparently I live in the big city compared
to Baskan. Apparently I'm New York City. What what what
we have the um um shop and a gas station?
We know, how many traffic lights? What's Basking like? We
have like a gas station and a half I guess
(41:15):
you have. I mean it's literally like I don't even
know if it's a gas station anymore. We have caution light,
a bunch of cornfields. That's about it. It's actually called
the Village of Basking. What makes it a village? Heck
if I know. Every time I'm like, I'm from the
town of Basket, my parents correct me and they're like, no,
it's the Village of Basking. That's just what it says
on the Welcome to the Village of Basking sign. You're
(41:37):
gonna tour with Jason al Dean. How did that come
to you? Did you hear from him what happened. It's
just so crazy. I know. So we're you know, we're
at the same label, and I know a lot of
the people over there have been like sending to my
music for a while. And m and his manager called
my manager and said, y'all know that girl. Y'all been
bugging us about for two years now. Jason wants her
(42:00):
to be on on the road with him. I was like,
what in the world now, My people back at home

but you're right here with me and I appreciate that.
So I'll leave you with this piece of wisdom that
you know I've talked about forever. You know, the best
time to plan a tree was twenty years ago. If
you haven't done it already, well, the second best time
is now. What does that mean? It means that if
you want success in life, you gotta at right now.
(49:09):
You can't get better at something if you're not putting,
putting effort in and trying listen. I failed time after time,
was rejected by everybody radio stations, book publishers, TV stations,
on and on and on. Had to beg, Lanny, just
come to the show. It's rejecting me nine times to
even be here today. So if you feel like the
world is passing, you buy and that you can't keep
up with the Joneses or the Kardashians or the TikTok
stars or whoever that gen Z looks up to these days.
(49:31):
It is never too late to get started and try.
You can be someone they look up to. You can
change the narrative. Have a great night. I'll see you
next time here on the show that we call on
Time with Bobby Bones. Don't forget be excellent to each other.
Party on good night everybody. I guess Hey, this is
Joe from the Biz Tape podcast, a podcast that serves
as a catchall for music, business and media news of
(49:52):
the week. Srib and listen to the Biz Tape on
the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. So d m X sadly passed away
at fifty years old, like on April nine. I mean,
it was a real bummer. My friend group was really
in the DMX, so like they were all very you know,
sad and about it, and I listened to a lot
of his music, so I was kind of sad about everything.
(50:15):
But the real question now is like, what's going on
with this the state? You know what I mean? He's
had all these records and stuff in his fifteen children
would also like to know. Yeah, oh my god, fifteen children.
No shame at having fifteen children, but splitting something fifteen ways,
it's really hard to do. How many kids that Bob
Marley have? Just for comparison, I don't know. Let's see
(50:37):
what it is here, Let's look it up. What is uh,
let's see let's see what Joe looks that up. We're
gonna play this game where basically I'm gonna get you
all to guess how much you think d m x
is royalties are and all defined royalties here in a minute, Joe,
you got anything? Yeah, okay, Just for comparison, Bob Marley
um has eleven kids. Okay, So d m X beat him,
(51:00):
all right? So also that also bitter bitter estate battle
in there too, so this is gonna get rough. Um,
But Billboard did a fun thing where they tried to
guess using some calculations which I'll get into in a second, um,
how much kind of his catalog of music is worth.
So this revenue is coming from his master recordings and
(51:21):
his publishing. And this is all speculative, like they have
like some kind of comments that they base off and
all the fine don't right. And for you know viewers
that may not know, we're talking about master recording royalties,
which is the money that the label makes him for
quote unquote exploiting records. So this is like streaming CDs
and stuff like that, the actual recordings and exploiting in
(51:44):
the good way of that's just how every label contract
will say, we get to exploit your master recording. Then
the other side of the money is the publishing money,
the publishing royalties, and that's money paid to the songwriter,
which is DMX in this is for copies of his
song that are made. So we're talking about streaming CDs,
but this also includes sinc deals and anything else that
(52:07):
you actually need publishing rights for. Also, this can be
you know, made smaller by co writers, so keep that
in mind. So, Joe, I'm gonna give you some notable
d m X facts. And with this information, I want
you to guess I will give you. I would say this,
let's start out. It's obviously more than zero, so the
easy one there for you. Um, and it's less than
(52:32):
your high ball when we were talking about it earlier,
which Joe still doesn't know the fifty million dollars. It's
in between zero and fifty million if you're keeping it
at home. So here's some fun facts that may raise
or lower your guests. On the Billboard Top one hundred,
he has appeared sixteen times, eleven times as a lead artist,
but only has beat the top forty three times, with
(52:54):
the highest at seventeen. Okay, so we're you know, he
had some He had a lot of hits, but nothing
like crazy, didn't have a number one, didn't have anything
like that, most notably, which is nuts. And most people
will be like, I think blindside of this, because I was.
He is the first artist ever to have their first
five albums go number one on the Billboard two five
(53:16):
in a row. That has never been done before debut
and the first and the next four we're number one.
So yeah, alright, this calculation was made assuming he has
a fifty fifty publishing deal with a publishing entity. So
he's basically splitting his royalty of publishing money in half
(53:37):
on top, like I was saying earlier, of having other
songs that could have co writers, which then he'd have
to split it even more. So, just keep in mind,
is publishing money is fifty assuming because we're assuming he
had a publishing deal, and then the calculation for his
master recording royalty was made that he gets an eight
(53:58):
royalty on physical old sales and on digital sales. And
then I didn't add this in here, Joel, but we're
assuming that he's on that he's recouped. He doesn't owe
anything to the label, He doesn't have anything from publishing
or anything like that, so this would be so just
to be clear, this is the money that he's pocketing.
(54:19):
This is the money he's pocketing after after this, after
the labels cuts, after this publishing entity cut, and after
you know, co writers are taking cuts of stuff. This
is the evaluation of all of that money. How much
money do you think this money is worth? Again? Between
zero and fifty million. Here, I'll get it fun. I
will give you, I'll give you one guess, and I'll
(54:42):
tell you higher or lower and then you get another guess. Okay, okay, okay,
So don't look at the word document because I'll okay,
I got to look away. Um. So I'm thinking, um
because like with any artists like this, when whenever they
pass away, they do have a spike and S's streams
very smart, and I think maybe it's valued higher now
(55:06):
than what it could be maybe three year or four
years down the line. Um. But i'm gonna say you
said less than fifty million, less than fifty million, Okay,
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna highball it. Still, I'm gonna say, like,
I'm gonna say, like thirty five million, lower, lower than
that lower? Oh god, yeah, man, okay, also lower than
(55:30):
thirty five million. This man, isn't you know zero dollars?
This is a very going to be insane as you're
gonna be a stupid number. I don't think it's stupid.
I think it makes sense based on what I told you.
But it's okay, I'm gonna people, Okay, I'm gonna go
the obstruction. I'm gonna go pretty well, I'm gonna say
ten million, okay, Well, it's actually half of your first number.
(55:52):
Basically it is seventeen point seven million dollars. Oh man,
that has to get split up in between fifteen he
had five number one He had five number one albums,
which is kind of important in this case. Um, alright,
so I want to open this up. So first off,
this estate is going to be a nightmare because there's
(56:13):
so many kids. Fifteen people have claims to this money,
and not to mention that they have to pay lawyer fees. Um,
if maybe he has debt or anything like that, they
have to get that together and everything. This money is
up there like the Michael Jackson the state and being
fought over in princes of state and being fought over
(56:35):
and trying to figure out what's going on with this
money years, and like the point is is that the
longer they wait on this money, you know what I mean,
It's like the longer they wait, the more fees get
taken out. They gotta pay place. You know, if he
has property, they gotta pay the property if they's got
you know, the longer the lawyer has to work, the
(56:56):
more money that is. And then again fifteen times times,
so like this is a big deal. I mean, and
I literally was talking to a friend of ours who's
a lawyer, and she was like, man, I would love
to see those documents. Like so, I mean see it
or work on it. I feel like working on it
would be insanely do not work. I would not want
(57:18):
to work on it unless they were like, we will
give you our portion of the seventeen million, which like
and he had he had no will or anything. Um,
I don't know about that yet. They haven't really specified specifically.
But even then with a will, it can be contested,
it can have issues with that. I mean, okay, first off,
I just did the calculation. If we evenly split it
(57:39):
seventeen fifteen ways, it's one point one eight mill Wow. Okay.
And then here's the other part that we're completely forgetting.
This isn't liquid money. So this is like money that
can come in and grow in value. Which is funny
that you said that you think it will go down
because Rolling Stone, I'm not rolling So Billboard actually has
the opposite. For an interesting reason for our listeners is
(58:02):
because they think the publishing money will grow because traditionally
rock and roll music has the highest kind of publishing
rate because it's very songwriter focused. But there's been an
increase in the industry and Billboard predicted this and I've
seen this in other places that raps publishing revenue will
increase over time due to the fan base becoming larger
(58:25):
people who you know, since rock and roll older and older,
since the fan base of rock and roll diminishes as
it you know, becomes less of a primary genre, and
then the you know, kids that grew up specifically with
just rap and hip hop as the main genre grow,
then you could see that getting more expensive. Um, it's
actually interesting because if you compare the two genres, there's
(58:47):
a lot of similarities and in how they grew and
where they are in their in their place basically, like
even even it's almost like one to one time frame
of like between know, some dude in his basement to
now it's it's like mainstream arena tours happening. So it yeah,
that is very interesting and I actually never thought about that. Yeah,
(59:09):
isn't that It's such a weird thing to think about,
but you know, I mean it makes it makes sense.
But so that publishing money, you know, assuming that they're
going to keep that rate going and everything, then uh,
that could be that could be just increasing in value.
So that's the thing is like who needs this money,
you know, especially if it's publishing money and they have
rights of it, and it's like, fifteen people have to
(59:32):
get together and figure out are we selling our publishing rights?
That's a problem. Like that's just gonna be hard to do,
and I'm sure somebody will be you know what i mean.
Like if some publishing company came up to them and
was like, oh, we would like to buy the remainder
of the publishing split, you have to go clear that
with fifteen people, you know, fifteen or do you would you?
(59:54):
I guess depending if they have is like you wouldn't
get you wouldn't it wouldn't be split up, depending if
they have legitimacy of the rights. Also, like again this
is what I'm wondering with the will and stuff like that.
I mean, if one kid had like one album and
the other kid that would be hilarious. Well, I mean
it's just more of like it depends on his will
and everything and how that is. And like we've seen.
(01:00:17):
The crazy partis we've seen celebrities with no will. Prince
had no will at all. That's still nuts to me.
No will, and so like I have no idea, you know,
it's up in the air, if he had a will
and had that like all put together, and if that
will is legitimate to be used. And finally, my point
is is Joe may remember from our MTSU days, recapturing
of works is up on the table. So if you
(01:00:39):
don't know about this, uh, Basically, to summarize this way down,
there is a policy and copyright law where you can
recapture ownership of your songs basically um and then and
that can be the publishing money and the songwriter money.
It's the master recordings and stuff like that. It's a
very long process. You have to wait, I believe thirty
five years to do it. Now the thirty five years
(01:01:02):
for DMX for like recordings which are like the beginning
of the really valuable recordings of his career, would become
could come into ownership as soon as twenty three. But
it's an extensive filing process to get all that together.
You have to be on the ball with it. You
have to file ten years before. So they would have
(01:01:23):
to file in and then that enables them to have
full ownership of those recordings. So their old label that
he was under would not have ownership of those recordings
if they get it to do right. We've seen like
a passing story even the other day where Dwight Yoakum
is getting denied his rights because he might have been
five days late because of the label not seeing it,
(01:01:46):
like not sending it a time not to go in
another story, but just as proof of like you know this,
this is messy. Yeah, it gets very messy. So um.
If they get that though, then they can renegotiate to
have those records exploited with another company and then maybe
you can get a better deal you know what I mean,
and make more money. And then usually when you make
a deal like that with a big catalog, they might
(01:02:07):
give you an advance, you know what I mean, or
something like that.
