The Bobby Bones Post Show pre-show. I'd like to say thank you to everybody that has put up with my scratchy voice for the past few days. I feel like I've done a good job making sure that it stays okay, not the best, but we didn't do a post show yesterday at all. I'm just trying to save it so I can get on to the radio show, so I just appreciate you guys. I'm not pushing myself too hard, you know. I got a couple things we're going to do in the post show. We'll keep it short today just because I'm going to blow this voice out for Monday.

But why don't we do Flashback Friday 2003? Here we go. Flashback Friday In 2003 on this day 2003 is 23 Ooh, I was just in Austin I was a young Unorthodox Knight guy

No 2003 I was doing the morning So the first time Yeah I was a young orthodox morning guy Who they were like What the crap are they doing Giving this guy a radio show

Was that 2003? Yes Yeah Boy, that was dramatic That was a dramatic year When they gave me that show They were like He's 22

And turned 23 that year but they're like, you can't give him morning. He just never done mornings. And I was like, inside I was like, they're right. Outside I was like, you're so stupid. I can do it. I can do anything. But, yeah, inside I was like, yeah,

they shouldn't give a multimillion dollar station to some idiot who's never done mornings. But here we are. The biggest country song that year is Brooks and Dunn Red Dirt Road. Jam. The biggest pop song is In the Club, 50 Cent. We play this every 10 seconds. In your show?

And the biggest thing of pop culture, Madonna shared a kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. And so in the middle of that, Madonna brushed a piece of hair from Britney's face and kissed her. Right after the kiss, the camera immediately panned Justin Timberlake. But what people forget is she did it at Christine Aguilera too. And that wasn't the news story. It was just her and Brittany because Britney was bigger a deal then. Right. Remember when award shows were cool?

We wait for them? Yeah, we watch them all the time. Now we don't give a C-R-A-P. One other thing I wanted to play. and I haven't heard this. I'm purposely not listening because I know I'll cringe. This could be cringe.

Mike, is it cringe-worthy? No. No? So Mike D found an old clip of me from 10 years ago. Oh, boy. So a flashback Friday, personal, me singing billionaire with Bruno Mars.

So billionaire, Travis, Trevi McCoy, featuring Bruno Mars. I was going through an old hard drive, Mike wrote and found some old interviews and performances from back in the day. This one was pretty cool.

2010. Bruno Mars had to stop by He was still a new artist He was mostly known for his features On Nothing on You by B-O-B and billionaire with Travis McQuoy Here's Bruno Mars Oh God

Come on I want to hear this Here's Bruno Mars doing the singing part And I come in on the rap Oh my gosh I know I remember this We were in the performance lounge

I didn't practice really I just went with something So I don't know how bad I'm already sticking up for myself 10 years ago Because I know this is going to be terrible Do I want the whole minute 20 Can I play that?

Yeah. Okay, here we go. I want to be a billionaire so freaking bad. Buy all of the things I never had. I want to be on the cover of Forbes magazine, smiling next to Oprah and the Queen. Every time I close my eyes, I see my name in shiny lights.

Yeah. A different city every night. I swear, the world better prepared. A billionaire. I would have a show like Oprah. I would be the host of everyday Christmas. Give Bobby a wish list. I'm probably pulling Angelina in Brad Pitt.

Adopted a bunch of babies that ain't ever had a giveaway of Mercedes. I'm like, hey lady, have this. And last but not least, grand somebody they last wish. It's been a couple months since I've been single. So you can call me Bobby Claus. It's the ho-ho. Get it? I probably visit where Katrina here and damn sure I do more than FEMA did.

Can't forget about me, stupid. Everywhere. Okay, take it, Bruno. Give it up. Thank you. Hey, that was awesome, dude. I don't know. Good time.

So good. The thing just stuck out to me. One, I was really trying to mimic Travi and McCoy with my... That thing. Two, I said the D word. I haven't cursed in years. It's always weird to hear me curse. Back in the day, man.

In all days. and also the big thing is Bruno Mars is so good. God, amazing. Just so good. When's he going to come on this show? I don't know. Maybe recreate it. He probably thinks about it all the time.

Like, how can you get Bobby to recreate that moment? All right. You're going to love today's show. I'm going to shut up and let's get to it. Thank you guys. By the way, Monday, Brantley Gilbert will be on. There's a new Bobby cast up. I talk to Tracy Lawrence.

Financial stress is one of the things that we don't always talk about, but it hits harder than we realize. It's not just numbers in a bank account. It's the anxiety that keeps you up at night. It's the tension that it can create in relationships and that constant feeling of, am I doing enough? There are moments where it's overwhelming, where no matter how hard you work, you feel like you just can't quite get ahead.

And what you learn is that stress isn't just financial. It's emotional. That's why it's important to check in with yourself, because struggling and struggling with money doesn't mean you fail. It means you might need support. in a different way. Therapy can help you unpack the stress, the pressure, even the beliefs that you've carried about money for years.

Morning. Thank you. I stayed up all night, last night, just dealing with this sinus thing. I feel like I'm on the track back. I'm on the track back, baby. Good. Also, I talk like this around the house. And I'm not sick at all. It's just once a year. This thing hits me. And I take every medicine in the world.

I wake up, take three allergy pills. I take just nonstop. It's like a medicine cabinet every day. but yeah hopefully I got a steroid shot maybe that helped when you have a friend who's a nurse that helps yeah I was like hey dude and he got a little IV

got a steroid shot I know I'm pretty lucky to have a friend that's a nurse that can do that not everybody does but definitely count my blessing on that one but if I'm performing in a city if I'm doing stand-up and I have this I'll find like a minute clinic

they'll pop you with a steroid shot you feel great for about four hours and then you just want to rip your guts out the rest of night because it's such a sinker. So, yeah, that's me. Last night, I watched the final night of the Republican National Convention.

I watched every night of both of them. How you feel about that? That's pretty awesome. Both were tough to watch. What's your takeaway? That's a great question. What's my takeaway? I feel like I'm suffering an existential crisis

with myself right now. That I don't, I watch them both and I'm like, yeah, to some of it, that's it. I can't. I'm just not what I guess everybody is where you just take yourself and firmly, put yourself in aside and dig in and go, we're here, you're not, you suck. Yeah. And drives me crazy. So, but that's what I found that I'm not normal because I watch and there are things. Listen, I'm, I'm for a smaller government. But then again, I was on food stamps and welfare as a kid. You know? I am for guns. Second Amendment, got guns in my house. However, I think it should be a little harder to get one. And so I just kind of walk down these, I love our law enforcement, but if you don't think

there are problems right now, you're out of your freaking mind. So, but you almost can't have that opinion because then you get yelled at by both sides, and that sucks. Well, that's what people spend the majority of their time doing. And then just the bashing and the not, just feel like it would be so much more productive if people thought that way. And trust me, I, I, I, I, for years, just because it's how I grew up, I was a very, very narrow-minded voter just because this was the party I registered as.

And so that's what I had to vote for. But you can say which one. I don't think we have to. Oh, I'm a registered Republican. Right. But I don't feel that attached to it that it defines me as a person. And that means I have to agree with every single person or that I have to support candidates on the Republican ballot. Like, that just doesn't have to happen.

And once you give yourself that permission to like think other things, then I mean, you just feel better. And I just feel like sometimes people are just so stuck in their party lane that they have blinders on. And I've been there. So just and I'm talking to all the politicians right now, all the ones that are listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they're all up early. You know, take your blinders off. Well, they have to act away to get the money they need. I know because they're getting money from people with blinders.

on. So I'm also talking to people with money. Yeah, yeah, good luck with that. And people with money just want their ideas pushed along. They're basically paying their ideas pushed. Yeah. So there's just a lot, but I watch both, both. And then I was like, let me draw my conclusion as to where I feel. And I just feel like I'm not like everybody else. I just feel like everybody, most folks are on a side and they hate the other side. And I can't make myself do that. There are crazy racial issues in this country. Again, I don't take the show and go down this road a lot, but that's what I did. I got a cold and I watch both conventions and I finished going I don't know what I don't know what the crap's going on with me and when I run in Arkansas I don't know what I'm going to do I can literally go one of three ways

I could be a progressive Republican a conservative moderate Democrat or an independent but you have no money there it's hard to get somebody to back you so if any of the Walton's are listening any of them can I start to go fund me now for my campaign if I do run. That's getting a little testy around work too in corporate. Well, so where are you with that? Same 30%.

We're going to see what happens to this election. You know, I think how this, maybe not so much who wins, but I think how this election happens and what happens in it because this is something we've never seen before. We're about to have mail-in ballots, which are completely legit.

We're going to have people not wanting to vote because of the pandemic. We're going to have, who knows what's going to happen with the results afterward. So I think a lot of that will depend on that. You're running? Yeah, me running for in leaving this show in 2021 to go run. Okay. But I'm 30% still. People ask me all the time. Want me to check the temperature with an Instagram poll? No.

See who would get out and vote? Well, it's only people in Arkansas, you know. I have followers from Arkansas. I know. We do have followers. But so that's what I did. We did that. I went to Amy's house, so dropped her son's birthday gift off. Oh, yeah. Took him a PlayStation 4, gave him one for his birthday.

Oh, yeah? Is he in? Is he gonna play with us now? Yeah, but he didn't really care. Okay, he will. No, he did. He told me when you left. He will care.

That's what I told Ben, your husband. I was like, he wasn't that appreciative then. Yeah. But once he plays, he's going to be like, this is the greatest thing ever. Yeah, he didn't. I said, I know he was so excited to get a gaming console because that's what he wanted.

And I asked him when you left, I was like, why were you more excited? he goes, it's embarrassing. Something about him is like shifting to where he feel, like how he used to act is embarrassing. And I'm like, that's not embarrassing to be excited because someone bought you an amazing gift. But he does love it. Yeah, he'll love it. I didn't have to love it now, but he will love it.

Yeah, he will. Everyone turns on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the song that's the all-time worst against stuck in your head. I have a list here. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Ready? And number 5.5.

on the song that gets stuck on my head all the time. If I hear it once, I can't stop singing it. It's a newer one. FGL meant to be. Oh, yeah. Just can't shake it. It takes something to knock that one out. Some other ones will just go away.

But I need something to knock meant to be out because it just stays in there. That's a good one. That's at my number five on songs in my head. Number four, and I don't hear a lot, but when I do, I don't lose it. It's Wilson Phillips, hold on. Can't shake that one.

At number three, it's what they call Rick rolling. Rick Astley, never going to give you up. Number two in the songs at stay on my head the longest that I can't shake. The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Do you know this song? Yeah, in the jungle, the mighty jungle. Once I hear it, I listen on Cool 95. Good Times, Great Old, he's cool 95 here.

We're going to play The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The wemovap, the wemovap. There's like four different parts of this song that can just stay in your head all. And then finally, and you guys may have this on your list. My number one song that if I hear it, it's so hard to get it out, is this one right here. Oh, yeah. Uptown funk. Anyone have that on theirs?

No. Their main one? Amy, what do you have? A Justin Bieber, baby. Eddie, what is it for you? I don't know why it gets stuck in my head. but and I hate this song. It's Watch me Whip, Watch Me Wip.

Get it? Okay. What me do, I hate that song. Lunch box. Oh, that's easy. Chumba Wamba, tub pumping. Yeah, that's a good one.

That almost in my list, too. Morgan number two? Mine's an old song. It's Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles. Oh, that's so good. That's kind of old. For her, yeah. Final one, Ray Bundo. What song gets stuck in your head?

Yeah, anytime I'm at the, I guess not at the bar nowadays, but whenever I'm about to get a beer, an ice cold beer, I mean, the only thing I think of is Luke Combs. A really catchy hook, yeah. We'll put it up on our Facebook page. Tell us what song stays in your head the longest. Like, you just can't get it. I wake up, there's all the time there's a song on my head at some point. Me too. My head's like a jukebox. It's just one song to another. One song to another. Constantly. Next song comes up.

And it's free too, huh? Yeah, it's free. The words are never the same as the real version. But yeah, yeah. Fun Fat Friday. One of the best parts about Friday shows. Here we go. Number five.

So Jackie Chan personally trains his stuntman, and then he also pays for their medical bills out of his pocket. Wow. That's very nice. Wow. Pretty cool. Number four. Eddie, who's the dog on Frazier, made $10,000 per episode.

His real name was Moose, and he passed away in 2006 after making more than $3.2 million on the show. Wow. Was that dog really? I never watched Frazier. A big part of the show, yeah. Okay, wow. He just was always there. Dang.

That's the crazy. They took care of that dog like crazy. Yeah. I wonder if they had other ones. Backup Eddie's? Like duplicate Eddies. Wow. Number three.

Speaking of money and shows. The Breaking Bad team was offered $75 million to produce three more episodes after the final season, which was estimated to be more than their earnings in five whole years. But the team refused saying that the final episodes didn't accommodate additional installments. Did you guys ever watch the movie? No. On Netflix? Yeah, the one with Pink, Pinkman?

Yeah. I did. I did watch that one. Good? It was okay. Yeah, it was all right. Mint two was never super inspired to get into it. It was cool to see some of the old characters come back.

I don't really remember the storyline, so I guess it wasn't that memorable. Better call Saul? No. No. All right. Number two. When Facebook was developing the like button, the engineers all wanted to call it the awesome button. But Mark Zuckerberg vetoed it.

Number one. And in 2001, a Florida man wrestled a shark out of the water to recover his nephew's arm that had been bitten off. Whoa. And doctors managed to successfully reattach it. Dang, he went in for the nephew. That's pretty amazing. For the son, for sure. I would think, okay.

I think nephew you'd go, ah. Think about it for a little bit. Which is any our son or nephew, I'd be like, oh, man, that's too bad. The shark got it. What about stranger? That's awesome. And that they could reattach it's crazy too. Yeah, that's the best part.

All right, that was fun. Fun fact, Friday.

Morgan number two, that's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. There was a woman in Utah. She was doing some repelling down a mountain when all of a sudden her hair got tangled in her gear. So she's just hanging there from the gear, like the ropes with her hair. Luckily, the football team from Dixie State University was there repelling also,

and the football player, some went down to the bottom of the cliff just in case she fell. Other ones grabbed her rope and for 45 minutes pulled her up. By their hands? By their hands. Hold the rope up. Wow. I bet she was scared to death. Oh, yeah.

I would. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Lobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes us from Marathon, Iowa.

32-year-old man stole a pickup truck and police were trying to figure out where he was and they checked GPS on star and they locate him as they're approaching the suspect. They hit the button to shut down the car just like bait car. And he's like, oh no, I got to get out of here because the door won't unlock. So he jumps out of the window of the moving truck and he runs over his own legs. Oh, what? He didn't jump far enough out. He landed and the truck was still moving and kuh. So what happened to him?

He went to the hospital, no broken bones, but he was arrested. Wow. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the day. All right, my former stepdad, Arkansas Keith, is on the phone. Oh, he's... I know what he's doing. I think my mom will do it. Hey, how are you going?

You ordering food? You got Keith. I did order some food, though. Yeah, this is Bobby. What did you just order? Yeah, pizza. What's up, man? Hey, y'all doing.

We're doing pretty good. I actually got him off for a couple reasons. First, he texted me during the show and was like, hey, I heard Eddie talk about that pink tricycle. Oh, yeah. What do you think? What do you think about that, Keith? If they had one tricycle and it was pink, but for a little boy, what would you have done? Well, I would have probably got the pink tricycle took it home and camoed it out with some cammo taped.

Cammoed it out. There you go. Cammo goes for everything. That's true. So I'm just saying it would have worked fine that way. If that's the only one they had, I would have probably gotten it. What'd you think about that girl? What'd you think about that woman giving Eddie a hard time, though, that, hey, you should buy this one.

Don't worry about it if it's blue or pink. She shouldn't have been doing that. You know, she should have been throwing out the camouflage tape thing. You know, it's a little bit of sale. But personally, I wouldn't be trying to sell any pink to anybody who's born and boys back. That's just me, though. Yeah. All right.

The other thing is, and Keith and Caitlin and myself were at my place in Arkansas, we're having dinner, and we were talking about antlers or. like a rack, like a buck rack in the house. And she wants one and I was like, you know, I just feel bad that we're going to have one if we didn't kill it. And so I said, I'm not going to kill it. When I was

younger, but I'm not killing anything now. And then she's not going to kill it because she's not a hunter at all. But I said, okay, or your dad or Arkansas Keith can provide us with one and that would also work. Now, how do you feel about, first of all, my reasoning on that, do you feel like that's legitimate?

Well, you know, everybody's not a hunter. They're not a hunter. But, you know, I get, your place will look great with a mound up there. So I'm just saying I have one I'll give you. And it looks great. It's going to look great up there. I see it already. Okay, so when we come back to Arkansas on a few weeks, you'll bring us one?

We'll bring you one. Keith's the only guy. It's given in 1974. It's real old, but it's real magic. And it's going to look beautiful there. Wait, what is it exactly? It's a mule deer buck. 1974.

Have you cleaned that thing? 74 or 75. It's just a, it's a mount it's a mounted head. It'll look good there. So like it has the, like if the full head with like you can pet it? Yeah, well, yeah. They don't know it's getting petted, but you can get it. I know, but I guess to Bobby's point, how do you clean that?

Do you dust him off or what? You vacuum on them and you can use wind deck. That's what I claim, wind decks. Oh, interesting. I just put, yeah, mop them off from wind decks. So why this particular buck for Bobby, is it special or not that special? Yeah, it's just kind of special. And, you know, my dad actually shot it.

Oh. That's cool. So, and it was killing along me. So it's, you know. That's special. You got a little bit of meaning to me. Plus, I'll pass it right on it. Yeah, you know.

All right, we'll accept it. It's just majestic looking. So it would look great, I promise it. Can you text me a picture of it later today? I will. All right. What else happened? I have a video of my little phone.

the room, I'll send it to you. It'll be the middle one. All right. It's a video. I'm walking around the room. It'll be the middle one of the deer of the deerhead. I'll send you to video. You'll like it, man. You've been fishing at all? It's raining. It's been nice. He hadn't been out in a couple weeks. All right. Well, I'm getting ready

for two seasons coming in first, so just be hunting from here on. What's the first day of deer season? November 12th. You going out with the muzzleloader first, or no? Yeah, musloat would be in October. Archery season will be like the 15th of September, so It's gearing up for that. Everybody's, it's all the talk, you know?

So what is all the, what's the hubbub? What's the hubbub around deer season coming up all the time? Where do you talk to people at the gas station? Yeah, normal, buddy. You know, they're showing you pictures on the game cameras. Hey, look what's on my game camera. Look what's on. Everybody's got photos off the game cameras, you know?

Yeah, okay. And just that kind of stuff, you know. Everybody, I can't wait, man. How about you? That's the same boy. I'll like Caitlin know that we have a mount coming to us. A majestic mount. It's going to look great, man.

I promise you. It's old, but it's great. There he is. We always value his opinion, Arkansas, Keith. All right? We'll talk to you soon, right? All right. Take care, man.

See you soon. See you later. There he is. This is Lee from Manhattan, Kansas, and he's talking about Amy wrecking that car that our client, Mazda, gave her to drive around. I'm an auto adjuster from an insurance company, so I write estimates on vehicles every day.

I saw a picture of the damage on the Mazda that Amy was wrecked, and I wrote an estimate for damage. around $3,100 from what I could see. Just thought that might be fun to know. So fun. Oh, that hurts. But I'll say you've given them well over 3,100 in advertising. This may be the best thing ever.

I looked at Mazda stock yesterday. It spiked hard because... No, I'm serious. If you're got a... You want to SUV, the Mazda CX-9 is amazing. Scooby-Steeve has one, too. Like, for real. Yeah, my wife has a CX-9.

They are awesome. He's like, I don't. My wife does. Scuba has a big truck. Oh, yeah, that's right. He has a big truck. It's a little too big, scuba. Let's be honest.

Really? It's not that big. What are you compensating for? A lot. But it's not... Come in here, take your clothes off. No, thank you. It's really not that big.

It's standard tires. It's not like it's like a 40-inch super swamp or anything. I think it's okay. Your truck is huge. Well, thank you. I appreciate it. No. It's a big truck's fine.

Your truck is perfect. purposefully larger than other trucks, which means there's a reason why. Are you trying to show that you love big trucks? No, honestly, very similar to you. I grew up super poor. I always had crappy cars growing up. This is the first car that I was able to buy that was really nice. I've always wanted a cool, nice truck.

And you went hard. I went super hard, yeah. It's awesome. Thank you. Here's Amy's Pile of Stories. So this couple in Michigan, they had a coronavirus virus friendly wedding. It was outdoors on a Saturday. Everything was going great. People were having fun until someone stole all the gifts and wedding money. Here's the writing room talking about it.

This day really met a lot to me and it was beautiful. It was our day like to make her a trailer to give her my last name. After the way, we couldn't even go to a honeymoon or nothing. We just went home. We went home. It killed the whole vibe. Everybody was upset. Those gifts was given to us from our family and our friends and for somebody to take the time out. and to mess up my special moment, that hurts me. That stinks to hear her. That's sad. They had come in a side gate, right?

And then they were like, we're taking them all inside because it was like a storm or something? Yeah, well, they were going to put the cake out or something. And they said, oh, no, the groom's mom told us to move this stuff, which was not the case. They were just stealing it. But did the groom's mom tell them to steal the stuff? No.

That's a stinky story. Police are investigating the case. What's wrong with people? What's wrong with people? All right, what else? I got some good news for you. Costco is rolling out. Now samples at stores again, Costco is known for samples.

All of them. Everything. This Corona bite is going to be popcorn shrimp. Would you like to try a Corona bite? So Eddie, is it your dad? He used to eat lunch there? Yeah, my parents. Okay.

Yeah, a lot of people would rely on Costco for some good sampling. But if you're excited about the samples, don't get too excited. They're limited on what they can put out. They will be featuring dry pre-packaged goods only. And one a day. Get to early. All right, what else? And then Carrie Underwood will once again open NBC's Sunday night football broadcast during the

2021 NFL season. Who knows what the season is really going to look like. But the video was put together virtually. So it fits the theme. It would be weird if she wasn't. Yeah. Honestly. Yeah.

I mean, I just associate now Carrie with that. NFL football 80% of finishing the season. College. What do you think? 50. A little higher than I thought, but 50. It's going to be tough. Can there be some teams that bow out, but others stay in?

Okay. But it just because other. Big 10, the entire conference is out. Yeah. Ohio State, Michigan. Within a conference. Like, there's some. I'm sure that everything is going to be different.

You can kind of come and go as you please without any penalty. But I did see that Arkansas, by the way, we haven't won an SEC game in like, New Year's. But still, that we're now projected for a ball game because there just aren't enough teams. What of? That's exciting. You're the only one left. Silver lining.

It's just surviving Corona. Every college team, it's college football survivor. Oh, God. Come on, Arkansas. You can do it, baby. All right, Amy, is that it? Yep. That was Amy's pile of stories.

With Amy. Tell me something good. So this woman, Brianna, she was on a break from work and taking a drive somewhere, but she was speeding. She got pulled over. And as she was pulling over, she had a curb and it popped her tire. Oh. So then the officer comes to the window, he realizes what has happened and decides to rip up

her ticket and then called a tow truck. and then he drove her back to work. Then when she went to go pick up her fixed car, the officer, shout out officer, Paradis, he had paid for the tire and repairs. Wow. Wow. Yeah. He probably felt like, oh, dang, she didn't have gotten a flat tire.

But she posted on Facebook that the officer has no clue what he did for her that day, and she's super thankful, and he has restored her faith in mankind during these hard times. Nice. That's great. That is really a wild story that he did all that. That's awesome. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good

In the next 20 minutes Colin Ray will be in And he has agreed to play Whatever we ask him to play So I'm going to ask him to play Litterok Love me One boy One girl

All of them Colin Ray coming in And just a second Over to Amy now with the joke The Morning Corny Why are elevator jokes so classic and good? Why are elevator jokes so classic and good? They just work on many levels

That was the morning corny. Here is voicemail number one. This is Jessica from Hawaii. Hi, Bobby. I have a debate to settle. You talk a lot about your Bobby water from Sonic, and you call it a root 44. I call it a route 44.

Do you know the correct answer? I assume both are right. I assume just whatever part of the country that you were born and trained to say the word. I actually have one with me right now. You can hear it. It's like pecan and pecan. Yeah.

A Bobby water is a Route 44, extra ice, real fruit, strawberry, and cherry, nerds. Nice. You get extremely hydrated. It just get a little bit taste in there, too. So I drink a lot.

I pee all the time now. Now, here is no name from Bakersfield, California. Hi, Bobby. Morning Studio. My daughter, Eden and I listen to your show every day, and we absolutely love you guys. Her favorite segments are the morning corny and tell me something good. The number one thing on her birthday wish list is Bobby Bones wishing her a happy birthday.

Thank you so much. Eden, happy birthday, kid. Today's going to be an awesome day. Hope it's the best birthday ever. Tell me something good for you. You're a good kid. The end. That's what it's all about right there.

And one more voicemail. Hey, Bobby. I absolutely love your show and I just want to say thank you to all the very nice people of Nashville. I own an expediting company and I had a van breakdown over by Brentwood and I found a church that let me donate it and they were the nicest people ever and just want to say thank you to all the people in Nashville that sat by to make sure that like we were okay when we were stuck on the highway. There you go. Listen, we agree. None of us are natural Nashvilleians. Nope. We're from all over the place. If you don't know our show, we're not supposed to be a show.

We want to put together by some big corporation like most other shows are. I was just kind of rolling by myself and I was in Austin, Texas, but I'm from Arkansas. But in Austin, Texas, I started to make friends. I met Amy at a Culver's restaurant. I met lunchbox at a bar. I met Eddie at a TV station. I met Ray Mundo as an intern. Mike D. as an intern. So, you know, it's just kind of organically come together. And I can say this too, that people in Nashville are great. I feel like, you know, it's home now. I have three. I feel like I feel like I have. I feel like I have three homes, Nashville, Austin, and Arkansas. All of Arkansas. The whole state, though. The whole state, the whole state.

A bunch of bucks. I was thinking about you last night. I found a story that I wanted to read to you today. Okay. A study by researchers found that those who have had divine encounter experiences, encounters with ghosts, spirits, the sensation of seeing a figure not from this world, reap lasting mental benefits in a super positive way. What is positive about seeing a ghost? Many have reported experiencing a ghost. Many have reported experiencing deeply moving visions. They were discussed about how bright or end of the tunnel, that kind of stuff. But they've led to improvements in their overall mental health. They like open them up a bit.

I bring this up to you because Raymondo, can you play that, please? How many days? 53 days. Until lunchbox goes to the ex-murderer ghost house. 53 days. We had to edit that together. He can't just say that every time. Like it takes one.

He's just going to change the number every day. Play that again. It's like it takes him just as long to do the whole thing as it really would go 53 days and edit it. Play it again, Ray. 53 days. Until lunchbox goes to the ex-murderer ghost house.

So he is going to go to Iowa to the Ax murderer house? Can we beef that up a little bit? It just sounds like Ray yelling. Like, when we come back, we'll check it with it again on Monday or Tuesday. But yeah, 53 days, lunchbox. Any update from your wife?

No, I was talking to her. I was wondering if it would be okay if I took the wife and kids because I need someone to go with me. I don't think the wife. It's not supposed to be a family trip. We'll find someone for you. Call her 10. Right now.

Oh, geez. 53 days until lunchbox goes to live in the house where all those people were murdered. The Friday morning conversation with Colin Ray. Colin, I tell you, I'm so excited that you came up here today. Bobby, thank you. I was blown away when I got the email that you wanted me. up here. I was like, I mean, this is cool. Don't get to do stuff like this that often, and this show is the show. You were a man. So, so thank you so much for having me.

Just, first of all, let me just geek. I think all of us will geek out for a second and go, we were just, Matt, we grew up in the 90s, you know, I was a team, and we're just massive fans of you and your music. And when we hear these songs, it reminds us of, you know, what we were doing when we were 12 or 13 or 14 years old, right? We're all big fans. Like, the whole, universally, we're all. I'm a big fan. Thank you, guys. And that's the thing about music, I mean, because, I wouldn't have ever wanted to do this had I not been a fan of it.

And I loved the music that I grew up on, and the greats of country music and rock and roll and stuff. And so, but you still, when it's beginning and you have that first hit or two on the radio, you still don't think that that's ever going to happen to you yourself, to where somebody might, 20, 30 years down the road would have that kind of a feeling, you know, to make them, give them a warm and fuzzy, so to speak, because of something that I was a part of. I could get to experience that all the time now, which is cool. Well, I was on, I was having a Colin Ray night at the house, and I was just playing a bunch of songs.

And my jam is Litter Rock, and I was like, let me say it's got to be his number one or number two most street. And I couldn't believe it was like number five on the street. Litter Rock to me is the definition of a calling Ray song. Now, when I ask you, though, what is this song the most people know you for? Is it not Litter Rock? That would be probably third. Yeah, I think Love Me was the first one

And that's that one everybody knows You know, everybody knows that one And that's my story would be the other one Because it's funny about That's my story is it's like I played worldwide Internationally, it would be That's my story Because they go, you know I played in places in Europe, different places

Singapore, you know And they're like, they're going Colin Ray, Colin Ray, you go into That's My Story And even if it's not an English-speaking country They all know the chorus Is that right? Yeah Well, maybe Little Rock, though, because I'm from Arkansas.

Well, and I think, well, me as am I. And that's my favorite, personal favorite of all the hits would be Little Rock, because I just think it's just such a incredibly written song. One of the first country songs of the 90s that had that kind of a social message to it, but was able to be a hit. Because prior to that, it was tough to get a song that said something that deep to shoot up the chart, you know. And so when that did, I felt like we kind of broke some ground.

And so to me, that one will always be my favorite. And because it's such a well-constructed song and it's so picturesque and so vivid, it's still my favorite one to sing too because I always feel like I'm singing it for the first time. Just the details. Because there's no, like, washing it. It's like the Church of Christ, selling VCRs of Walmart. Like, it is, you're very much in the exact. place of this guy.

Yeah. And so I know you have your guitar. We're going to spend some time together. Can you give us a little bit of rock? Right now? Why not? You guys want one now? We don't want to talk about, but if we're talking about it, let's go.

Version of chorus. Okay. Well, I know I disappeared a time or two and lost in the end. I needed a new town for my new start. Selling VCRs in Arkansas. Walmart. I haven't had

a drink in 19 days. My eyes are clear and bright without that haste. I like the preacher from the Church of Christ. Sorry that I talked to you last night but I think I'm

here in love. I'm solid as a stone baby waiting see. I got just one small problem here. A little girl without you. Baby, I'm not me. Without. Baby, I'm not me.

Come on. I'm all smiles here. This is the greatest. Thank you. That's my morning voice, by the way. Let me say this, too. I know you just celebrate your 60th birthday. Thank you.

You can still well. Thank you, brother. And the high. Thank you. So I still hit pretty much every note that I hit back in the day. Once in a while, I tell you what, since this whole lockdown thing, we've obviously, like everybody, got so many dates canceled and been home just being a couch potato so much. Your voice really is like a bicep, the old thing that you say, if you don't use it, you lose it kind of thing.

And it's, so when I do get a chance to sing, it's like, whoa. It takes me a little time to get it open, you know. Man, that was a lot of fun, huh? Yeah, so awesome. Oh, thank you so much. Wow, wow, wow, okay, Colin Ray is here. So that's 1994, Litter Rock came out. So you'd had a few hits by then.

When that song starts to, first picked as a single, did you feel like there was a real shot with that thing early, or did it take a minute to burn? Well, Paul Worley and I found the song, Tom Douglas, of course, wrote it. That was his first cut as a writer. And, of course, he went on to write so many great songs for Martina. House to Bill Me from Miranda. Tim McGraw for Randy.

I mean, it's just great writer, one of the best we have. And so I'm thankful that we got to cut his first one, you know. But honestly, because of the hits that I had had leading up to that, they'd either been kind of rockers or straight up love songs. And so I was a little leery. I loved it. And I thought, I'm so proud of this record. But I thought, can we really make this a hit?

You know, so I was a little apprehensive about it. But I believed in we had a good team over to Epic and good radio team. And I thought, you know, if you guys are into this, then I'm into it. And the rest is history. I'm always curious, too, about how songs find people. because Tom Douglas, you know, he's one of the writers of this song and the story, because I know Tom a little bit, and the story is that he had moved to Nashville, failed, moved to Texas, was selling real estate, but he was living with his dad,

and they never had a super close relationship, but he came home and his dad had this one song that he loved, and it was Little Rock, and Tom Douglas was like, wow, and that's what got him back into Nashville writing more songs again, was your hit with Little Rock. Well, I knew part of that story. I didn't know the part about his dad. He never told me that, I knew that that song had got, okay, I guess I can do this. And it's like, yes, sir, you can. You're very good at this. And then you just kill it.

Because a song can be well written, but if you don't perform it and deliver it, it isn't, it's just a greatly written. Thank you, man. Well, I've always, my theory was always, I'm not smart enough to try to act anything. It's kind of like, look, if it's a song, I'm into it, and I love what it says, then I feel like I can deliver it well. if it's something that I just, and I've passed on hits, the songs that went on to be hits for the people just because it didn't, I thought, I just don't think I'm the one the guy to do that, you know,

and then somebody else would have a hit on it, and they say, well, don't you wish you had that back? And I go, well, no, not really, because they needed that song. They were the person who was supposed to sing that, you know. But Little Rock was one that I just felt so close to the minute we heard it. And the original demo was just Tom playing on like an old out-of-tune wall, Baldwin piano, set recorder. So it was not good quality at all. But there was like 14 songs on it. Love Remains was another

one that was on there. And I think Little Rock was like number eight. And we heard that and we looked at like that just do something to you. And so like I said, the rest is history. And Tom has done quite well since then. Yeah, for sure. Let's go back to the beginning. 1991. Love me. I mean, I did finally succumb to the pressure of the room to go love me is probably in my mind as big as little rock clothes. I was like, there's no song that should be ranked above. But so this song, like tell me, is this, was this the first single you put out of the first hit you had? Well, the first single was all I can be is a sweet memory, which God bless him, Vince Gilles sang harmony with me on, which really helped that break that loose. And that went to like number 22 on the chart.

but the video went number one. So it was like, okay, well, that wasn't technically what you'd call a big hit, but he did get to 22, and the video went number one, so we're on to something here, you know. And then Love Me was the second single, and it flew up the chart. And again, for a kid, I was 30, which, and but when that was happening, I couldn't believe it, because the other song had been such a struggle. You'd be like, okay, we're at 96 or the next week, okay, we still got our bullet, we're 95 now. you know and you think this is this is going to be how it's always going to be you know and then love

me came out and it was jumping like 12 spots 15 spots you know eight 12 and I mean it was a kind of a giddy feeling when I would because I had the radio on constantly you know and it was just getting played every 30 minutes it seemed like you know and so that that was that's the one that I guess will always be my you know calling card so to speak I guess you ever flip stations and you're on one station and you flip the other one in the town and you're like I'm on both stations at the same time oh yeah back in the day it happened you know because I lived in the Dallas area at the time and you had a a big station in Fort Worth you had K-plex in Dallas and then there was one other in young country and so I just I was just one after another going back and forth back and forth back so you weren't here when that was no I was living in Texas wow and so were people like hey Colin you got to you got to get to Nashville if you're going to well it was weird because I had been divorced and my um ex-wife and my kids were living in Greenville, Texas. And so, and prior to getting my record deal, I was working out in Reno, working casinos and stuff. And I couldn't afford to leave because we

were making really good money for, you know, for the level we were at. It was making good money. And I was like, well, I can't afford to leave here because I was taking care of them and whatnot. And so when the record deal happened and Love Me happened, I thought, okay, I can afford now to leave here and go be where they are. So I wound up moving there and spent pretty much all the 90s. I didn't move to Nashville until I think 99. From 1991, here's Colin Ray. He's like,

oh, that's my cue. All right. I love it. I love it. I love that you just kill him up. Let me throw it. Here we go. First of me. Here is Love Me. I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923. Grandpa kept it in his coat

and he showed it once to me. He said, boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago. Grandmars' daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your grandma's soul. We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. Getting married in the first town We came to and lived forever But nailed to the tree Where we were supposed to meet

Instead I found this letter And this is what it said If you get there before I do Don't give up on me I'll meet you when my chores are through Oh, I don't know how long I'll be But I'm not going to let you down

How in the world did they approach you? Do you audition for that? Do you go have it? No, the producer, Chris Farron, was a friend of mine, you know, had the end to Fruit of the Loom at that time. And had he had found this song or had, I think, wait a minute, I'm sorry, he co-wrote this song for the jingle. And Fruit of the Loom thought it was great for the kind of the commercial they were going for. and it was going to be a Super Bowl commercial. And so he blessed his heart.

He thought, well, I need somebody. This song is really tongue and cheek. It's about being in love with your underwear. But it needs to sound really dramatic. Now, who can I get? That we'll get it, you know. And so I went down to the studio, and he played the song for me. And I was cracking up, you know?

And I said, are you sure you want me to do? He goes, oh, yeah, just sing it like it's, sing it like it's little rock. Just pour your heart out into it. And so I did it, you know, thinking, well, this can't, if it's going to be on the Super Bowl, this can't be a bad thing, right? And it became, man, people talked about that for years and years and years. And it was a nice check I would get ever so often, too. Just residuals that kept coming in from it.

Yeah, I mean, you'd probably have a tough time, he said, oh, I sure could use a little extra money. I mean, you know, if it was a down year or whatever, all of a sudden there to be a $2,500 check in the mail for, for, from fruit of the, you know. So, yeah. So it was a cool deal. I mean, I wish I could do about one of those a year. Yeah, right. All right. Colin Ray is here.

We're kind of rolling through some of the catalog here. So let's go 1992. Like when I bring up in this life, what's that make you think about? Man, Mike Reed, makes me think of Mike Reed, the writer who, you know, Mike's story. He was a football player, played for the Cincinnati Bengals, all pro defensive tackle, but a concert penis, too, which is such an odd pairing. And when he retired from football, he wanted to come. down here and be in rock country songs and he and i think alan shamblin uh wrote in this life and so

and then garth fund has actually produced that album on me the second album and we were ready to go we had our i forget i mean 12 songs or whatever we were going to do we had them ready to go and uh but we didn't have that one and the night before we actually was going to track the next day somebody from that publishing company brought the song over and it was mike singing it you know he's a great singer. And we thought, man, there's our first single off this album, you know, if we can hook it tomorrow, you know. And so it was a very like a last minute thing that came our way. And I loved it because it was a love song, which at that time, Sony was really trying to push me as sort of about, you know, a love song guy, you know.

And I like it because it could be about anybody. You could be about anyone in your life, you know, a child, one of your children, a parent. anything, it was just a kind of a universal kind of message about just loving somebody that much and being loved by that person so much. So I thought, this has got to be a winner. So before you play this, I guess listen to you talk about how they were kind of personifying you, do they ever go, hey, we love slow songs, I'm going to work on the radio back then? Oh, yeah. See, I was more concerned about it than they were, actually, because that's why the next single, I think it was the next single after in this life was a song called I Want You Bad

and that ain't good, which was this rocker thing. And I pushed for that because I said, guys, I don't want to be Perry Como. You know, I don't want you, I do, because my live show was, I was chasing Garth. You know, I was trying to, I was trying to do that. And, but I was having to do a bunch of covers to keep my show that exciting because so many of the hits were, were ballads, you know. And so, in this, so I was more concerned. I think they were comfortable in just letting me be that for a while. And then I sort of forced the issue over the next few albums and said, no, man, I want a long career.

I want this to last a while. And we can't just keep giving them, can't give them ballot. Can't keep giving radio ballads just time after time, you know. Well, how about we give them a ballot right now? But I'm glad for the ones I did. 1992. By the way, Colin Ray is here. Here is in this life.

All I'd been blessed with in this life. There was an emptiness in me. I was imprisoned by the power of gold With one honest touch, you set me free Let the world stop turning Let the sun stop burning Let them tell me love's not worth going through If it all falls apart

I will know deep in my heart The only dream that mattered Had come true In this life I was loved by I feel the hairs of the back of my neck standing up We've been hanging out with like half an hour by now Hair, back of my neck are still standing up

Do you feel like a re-appreciation of your songs Like that maybe fell off for a bit, but now it's just back full force. Yeah, and again, that's something, and a lot of my friends from the 90s, my compatriots, you know, that we're out at the same time, basically. You know, we all talk about it all the time whenever I'm seriously. It's kind of cool. And you just didn't expect that.

I almost kind of feel like 90s country is kind of the new classic rock. And by that, I mean, you know, because, I mean, I grew up on the classic rock and roll of the 70s and stuff. and it had such a resurgence say in the 90s where you wanted to hear grand funk you wanted to hear fog hat you wanted to hear Seeger you know and and and their touring just exploded and I've you know making more money on the road than they did back in the day because people wanted to relive that music so much and I think 90s country was so big and I give Garth so much credit for that because he busted down a lot of walls and opened up a made that narrow two lane road into this. big super highway. And I think it touched so, the music we did back then touched so many people, now they're at that age where they want to relive it, you know. And they have a little more money because they have careers and they can spend the tickets on the money, you know? And the touring is big, you know, well, up until this, all this nonsense. But prior to that, I mean, we were, it was just, it was amazing. And I would see young people, I mean, very young

people, 20 years old, 24 years old, you know, 17 years old, girls singing along to these songs, you know, and they go, well, that means her parents raised them listening to it. I was talking to Tracy Lawrence pretty recently. He said the same thing about classic rock, exact same analogy. He was like, it feels like it's a classic rock. So we got to the point one or to hear the old CCR stuff. Exactly. And so he's like, people don't like that when music, pay me a Birmingham. Because I think that music for my generation, Tracy's generation, that music was the biggest thing there was. The rock and roll of that time,

and pop-pop-slash rock-and-roll of that time was the biggest thing in the world. And so it had the biggest impact on us, you know, as far as, you know, to a lot of people, you know. Because even country music, I mean, I grew up on Merle Haggard and Buck Owens and Cash and Waylon and Johnny Horton and Jim Reeves. But it was always kind of an exclusive kind of club.

Because, you know, I remember being in high school, even in the South, in middle school and high school and stuff. And if you like country music, really? They just didn't get it. A lot of kids just didn't understand why we liked it, you know. But rock and roll, everybody liked it. And so I think it had that more of a universal impact. And I agree with Tracy.

I feel like now is our time. It's like 90s country was that big. Well, one boy, one girl. Where do you put that in your set when you play it? Because it's just a smash too. Oh, man. Usually in the middle. And that may be one of the most requested songs we get.

Because sometimes I'll not do that one. I'm not planning to do that. If I go to a calling ratio and you don't play one boy, one girl, you're going to find me getting a refund real quick. You know what? I have heard that. Because there's certain ones that you just know you always need to do. And then others I try to switch out.

Because we had quite a few and you think, well, and there's new stuff you want to do and stuff. And it's very hard for me to sometimes, a lot of artists, I think, go through this. You think, well, I want to play this because this means a lot to me. But then I'll go see someone else and I do the same thing. If they don't play two or three of the ones, I get a little mad about it. You, I can't believe they didn't do this.

Then I have to remember, now they're saying the same thing about me if I leave certain songs out. So now I'm doing it all the time. Well, I'm not going to let you escape here without playing me a little bit of one boy, one girl. I'd want a refund for this appearance too. All right, Colin Ray is here.

Here we go. And I never realized how many twins there were in America until we put this song out. And apparently, there's a lot of, lots of families that have twins that could relate to this story. And so he finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend when she said there's someone you should meet

at a crowded restaurant way across town. He waited impatiently. When she walked in their eyes met and they both stared. They're right there and then everyone. else disappear. But one boy, one girl,

two hearts beating wildly, to put it mildly, it was love at first side. He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away. This was the day, and for a moment the whole world

revolved around one boy, It's happening right now. Dang, dang, dang. Thank you so much. So you got a new album that's coming out called Scar. The whole album's out of it. It's going to be out in October, right? Yeah.

Now, did you record this in the last few months? Yeah. We actually were wrapping it up when the whole corona thing started, and so I'm lucky we got it in there when we did. And got him David Ferguson, Fergie produces. He's very acclaimed producer. And the record label's audio. I mean, they kind of wanted an AmeriCon.

kind of record and so I thought okay well cool I'm still not sure what the definition of that is it kind of there kind of is no definition it is the way I took it it's like well this can be as as as as edgy a little bit dark a little bit happy can be a little bit fokey it can be whatever you want it to be and that seems to be the what they wanted and so so it was a really fun record to make and I wrote every song on it except for wrote or co-wrote every song on it except for a couple that my brother wrote. And he's played with Miranda Lambert for since she began. He introduced me to Miranda when she was 17 years old.

And so I've known her a long time. And he was sort of her only band when she was playing around Dallas and Austin and stuff and playing the little, just acoustic things and stuff. And he always believed in her, of course, as did I, had no idea it was going to go where it went, you know. But she's just awesome. And he's played with her up until, recently he's had some, health issues with his heart and whatnot. He had a really bad year last year and he's probably

done touring at this point. And so anyway, this record was kind of a full circle moment for us because he and I started this together when we were, you know, 15, 16 years old. And we got separated and went different ways. We were very different in a lot of ways we, things we wanted to do and whatnot. But we've always been close. But it was so cool to get to work with him on this record. He plays on it. He sings on it. And the title song, Scars, that Miranda sings with me on, Scotty wrote that like 20 years ago. And I've been holding on to that song for the right time, you know.

I'm going to play some of that right now. Let's listen to some scars here from Colin Ray. You're going to bless you for that. It's got to be pretty cool that Miranda is going to sing with you too, right? I mean, we're hearing you guys sing right there. That's pretty cool, huh? Yeah, and she'd been threatening to do it for a while, you know? And I was like, yeah, and so, because, again, like we known each other really,

really long time. And in her early, early days, I would do things where I'd show up and play on a build that she was on and whatnot, which she appreciated that when she was just getting started. And I guess this was her full favor to me and to Scotty to get to do this. And of course, she killed it. She's a great singer in the studio. And went in there. She knew the song, too, because she had done it, had played it live before over the last few years, whenever they would do like an acoustic thing where it was just her and Scotty and maybe, you know, writers in the round kind of thing, she would always do scars

and just sang the pain off of it, you know? And so Scotty was hoping she'd cut it. And then she's, well, I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it. And so I said, well, heck, if she's not going to do it, then I'm cutting, you know. And then to bring her in on it. So obviously she knew the song so well. She wasn't, I bet she wasn't in the studio 15 minutes

and just killed it, you know, and it really kind of anointed this record having her on there. All right, the full album out of, October. Well, why don't we end on this? The song that you say, all over the world, people know you most for this. I wouldn't have picked the... I know it.

This is one of my favorites. I like the group vocals. And I rarely let the show do gang vocals ever. I was hoping. But... I was going to ask you. Oh, do we have permission? Well, you need it.

That's my story. That's my story. That's my story. You can't really do it without it. Yes. So we're going to be here for you. Okay. on the gang vocals

That's my story, okay? I would be honored. The last way. Colin Ray, here we go. Well, I came in as the sun came up. She rented me over her coffee cup. She said, where you've been? So I thought real hard and said,

I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard. She said, you don't know it, Bubba, but you just blew it. And I said, well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. That's my story. That's my story. Oh, that's my story. Come on. That's my story.

Well, I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it. You got it. But that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Nice. Well, well, well, good. You're hard. A couple things before we go. Thing number one is we're all such big fans.

This has been such a joy for me personally. Thank you. I get to be a bit jaded because I get to do a lot of cool things now with my job. But occasionally something resets me. this is what makes me happy. And this whole thing made me happy today. Thank you. So that means a lot to me.

And just, again, thank you for having me come in. It's an honor. Big fan and just love the show and you're on a role. And it's just, it's really cool to get to be a part of it. My final question, and I save this for the very end. Do you remember our great Twitter feud of 2014? Yes. And do you were going to bring that up?

Can I explain that? Go ahead. I'm ready. Okay, because I wrote a book. Yeah. Okay. It was my life story. And the management team I had it.

the time. The story had really, it was basically about my life's story. You know, I had some, a lot of tragedy in my life over the years and whatnot, family stuff. And it was basically, was more about my faith journey and in the family situation. But yet there was some music business stuff in it. And because I knew, well, if it's a calling Ray autobiography, they're going to want to hear some stuff about the music stories too. So we had a lot of some anecdotes and different stories in there. But my manager at the time was really looking for a, hook that he could for PR hook you know and so and so we I'd made some comments I'd made some comments about the modern country music of the time and and and uh we got seriously taken out of

context and he forced it and so he was the one trying to push that and I was like I didn't mean that so he kept trying to draw me into this to this thing because he thought it would did sell you know and I've never been I've never been a big fan of that you know and so I A real quick story, but I love Travis Tritt, love him. He, one of my favorite artists of the 90s. And there was a comment in there. I was talking about certain records in the 90s that I thought were just rocking. They were just like moments where you just, you know, think that that's really good.

That's really good. And I always loved his cover of TROUBLE, the OELA song, because it just was, he slayed it. You know, the bands, it was just a really great, great cover. And so I mentioned that in the book. book. Okay. Well, the, just so you know, the way you write these books generally, none of us are authors where we sit down at a typewriter. I basically sat in front of a video camera an hour a night for like three months and just would tell my story. And then a ghost writer, I guess if you want to call them, that would try to put it into manuscript, you know. And so there were a lot of

things that he wrote differently than what I said. So I would go back and try to Ed. I said, hey, I didn't say that. I didn't say that's going to be taken the wrong way. Anyway, I fought with them with a publisher throughout the whole process. I'll never write another book again as long as I live. And so, but one of the things he said in there, he talks about my comment about the T-R-O-U-B-L-E, and he kind of made it sound like I was dissing the song. And I was like, that's not what I said. And so, and I thought, and I would say, take that out, take that out.

And final manuscript comes out, it's in there. So I thought, well, I hope Travis doesn't read this. his book because he'll take it the wrong way. So we're at the Randy Travis tribute they had a couple years back at Bridgestone you know. And I'm back there and Travis hadn't seen him in a while he comes up and he oh Colin I read your book.

I got this look of panic on my face. I was like oh hey man goes oh I loved it. So I guess it didn't he didn't take it as wrong but I was afraid of that I thought because I love the record. It sounded like I was well like didn't dig that song you know but no he took it really well

but I'll never forget that. I just got this, I just broke out into a cold sweat. And he goes, I read your book. I was like, oh, no. So anyway,

but so I, I didn't want to, my manager was going, Bobby wants to do this. And I was like, oh, because I don't want to be known for a guy that's dissing

the guys that are out there now. And that's what he was trying to get me to be. And I was like, I'm not comfortable with that. So thank you for your, thank you for putting up with that. I saved it for the very end

in case it got off. We were going to do a fist fight or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got all the songs and then the fist fight, but... No, I think all I said, I think I said something about the lyric. I felt like the lyrics were kind of... A lot of them were kind of the same story, same message, dirt road, et cetera. And I made some kind of comment about that, and boy, he just ran with it.

He said, this is good, this is good. It's like, that's not what I meant. Did you, when you were coming up, were there ever folks that were like, Conray, that's like, hey, that's not country? Oh, yeah, I used to get that all the time. And, you know, I remember, you know, Chestnut came out to radio about the same time I did Diffie. God bless his soul. And you had some really good country voices that were out at that time.

And because I sounded a little more, you know, Don Henley-ish kind of, people were like, well, he's a, he's really a rocker and he's just down here. You know, and if they only knew, you know, I mean, I'm with this guitar right now, if you had the, if you had about six days, I could sit here and sing classic country songs. and not miss a word and never repeat the same song. But because that was my specialty, so to speak, and my early producer said, no, this is your thing. You don't need to be doing too cold at home. You need to be doing this.

It's going to make you stick out. It's going to make you sound different than everybody else. There was a lot of people that thought, I just don't know if he's really country or not, you know. So I get that. I mean, I've been on the other receiving side of that where it kind of hurt your feelings a little bit. You go, yeah, I am, man.

Because I would sit there and name, you know, Glenn Campbell, Ray Price, who sometimes sounded his country's cornbread. Other times he sounded like a pop singer, you know, there's many of the Jim Reeves. There's many of the greats that we all admire and idolize that didn't all sound like Merle. You know, that's just one style. Merle's is just, and Merle's still the king of that. But that Lefty-Farzel kind of thing, there's more than just that one style of country music. You know, Hank didn't sing like that. you know but but but i think there was a time where if you didn't if you didn't right

right if you didn't do that oh he's not country right you know so i so i get that's why i didn't want to get into that whole thing because like now i'm not knocking what this this is a whole different generation it's a whole different time times change music changes and everybody's doing their thing and they're successful because they're doing their thing really well and so anyway I've I'm sorry you I'm sorry you remember that All right

I was hoping you'd forgotten We've had a great time Colin's been great seeing you Thank you Bobby I speak for everybody in the room Yes Yes absolutely Thank you guys so much

It was a great pleasure You can follow a call on Instagram Colin Ray official And on Twitter at Colin Ray Thank you very much Hopefully you'll see you around soon Thank you my friend All right there is Colin Ray

everybody Thank you all so much It's time for the good news It's Bobby Tell me something good You know, a lot of teachers are going back to school right now. Big shout out to all you guys if you're listening again. So thank you for being here and thanks for doing what you do.

The crazy thing about teachers, and you know this like I do, Amy, is that a lot of these teachers, they have to pay for school supplies themselves. Oh, totally out of their own pocket. Yeah. So in Sarasota, Florida, there is a Facebook group, adopt a Sarasota County teacher where educators are going, hey, we need this if you can help. And the community's basically stepped in and they bought everything. Stuff's still going up and it's not all the way done now.

But as soon as it goes up, people are hopping into help. So there's a teacher that's like, hey, our need is even greater this year because of the pandemic. And so people are reaching out, helping teachers. Love that. We love teachers. And so not only, I mean, I guess you could search for adopt a Sarasote County teacher, but you could also set up one for your own town. Oh, yeah.

Which I think teachers would really appreciate. Yeah, yeah. There you go. All right, that's what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good.

That's get sunday.com. I want to play this for you because it went up this morning. It's me talking with Tracy Lawrence on my music podcast, The Bobbycast. We talked about how Pamy at Birmingham was never a number one and all of his hits from the 90s, but I asked him why the 90s are such a beloved decade for country music. I think it was just such a great. It was really a magical time for country music. It all started in 89 with Garth Brooks and Clint Black, Travis Tritt and Alan Jackson and Mark Chesnuff. That was the beginning of it.

And that explosion drove so many of us to come to Nashville. I mean, by the time we got into the early 90s, it was traditional country. with an edge to it. I really think that we're going to look back on the 90s. It's kind of like what classic rock is to the country these days. It's going to be that music that sustains for a long, long time. There was just something really special about it.

Colin Ray had mentioned that earlier, about the classic rock analogy. So check it out. I talk with them for like 20 minutes. If you love 90s country like I do, I mean, how can you not love Paint Me a Birmingham? 2003. If you paid me a Birmingham.

We talked about that, you know, it wasn't a number one, but he was like, man, maybe the biggest song of my career. That or time marches on. 1996. Time marches on. Or alibis, 1993. His first said, 1991, sticks and stones. Please sticks and stone.

So we talk about new music on the Bobbycast that comes out every week. And then we have an artist on to talk about in Tracy Lawrence's this week. So search Bobbycast after this show's over on IHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcast. It's up there. I'd love for you to hear it. I see your dad's coming over to your house this weekend. He is on Sunday. Super excited.

He's been in a nursing home. He lives in an assisted living home, but since they went on lockdown mid-March, he hasn't left. So, which was really hard for him. He's very social, and he would come over to our house every week, and we just haven't been able to spend time with him in that way. But they're allowing him to come over because we don't live too far from him. And we have to follow social distancing rules and masks and the whole thing, but at least he'll get to come over for a few hours and can you touch them no no really we have to someone watch you

to make sure you don't touch them no they said they trust us they've they've watched us you know interact he said he will follow the rules we've committed to following the rules so really they're just you know hoping that everyone does their part to keep i i want to keep him safe so no we're gonna do everything by the books and then return him safely we'll see how it goes Well, exciting. It is. Yeah. He's, I mean, I think it's boosted his morale, even just knowing that he's coming already by 100%.

Well, let's go to another good thing. It is time for our final first round food feud. After this, we go to the next round. The Bobby Bones Show. Food feud. Great. All right, we have two food items here. They're going to battle it out against each other.

Now, I have a little voice thing going here, so I can't really give them all today. But we've been putting two food rivals. against each other over the last weeks and eventually we'll see which one ranks at number one. This week, week eight, it's Battle of the Kids Cereals. In the red corner,

they come with hearts and stars and horseshoes and clover and blue moons and unicorns and rainbows and tasty red balloons. Plus crunchy gluten-free oats. That part I don't like. They are? A serving will run you 133 calories, 10 grams of sugar.

They're magically delicious. Lucky Chon. Lucky Chon's right here. And Facing off in the blue corner. It's the cereal that consists of small squares or rectangles of wheat and rice covered with cinnamon and sugar.

There are 168 calories per serving, 12 grams of sugar. The taste you can see, the crazy squares you crave, it is cinnamon toast crush. All right. Amy,

let me a bowl over here. Okay. of both. I mean, you have the milk and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do this bit only for free food now. I know. I'm like, this is amazing.

Amy, if you have to pick one, go for it. I can't really decide. I initially was going Lucky Charms, but it's been so long since I had Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I feel like I just don't know. I'm going to go with Lucky Charms since I know. As long as you have the perfect spoonful of the marshmallow and the whatever. I don't do it like that.

I go all oats first, I know you do, but I like to mix them. I do my life. So Lucky Charms for me. Like a charm metaphor for life. Eddie. Oh, man, this is a no-brainer for me. In my pantry lives one cereal consistently all the time, and that's cinnamon toast crunch. Always. My kids love it. I love it. It's my favorite. I'm pouring my second bowl here. I've got one bowl of Lucky, one bowl of cinnamon.

Morgan, what do you got while I have a bite? This is so hard. They're both so good. But I think when I go to the store, I always would buy Lucky Charms. The Lucky Charms is mine. Watchbox? Oh, man, these are both mouth-watering good. I love me some Lucky Charms, the marshmallows. But then you realize those oats are just a waste of space, so half the bowl is being wasted.

So my vote is for cinnamon, toast. Yeah. Wow. So we're down to me. Well. Yeah, and you're over there eating almost. Have you had them both yet? Like if it wasn't.

We were in a pandemic. I would be eating after you right now. Because it looks so good. But you have milk and here, it's all here. How about it? It's easy. Cinnamontoe's Crunch. Yeah.

Cinnamon Toes Crunch is 100% flavor. Totally. Lucky Charms is great. It's a really great cereal. I love it. One of my tops. But cinnamon toast every bite. Okay.

I'm excited about eating this right now. So I'm going to get the crap off the air and eat some cereal. Okay, there's our winner. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We feel good about that? Yeah. Absolutely. Next week we start knocking things out.

though against each other that aren't the same. Like what? We'll see. Okay. Like, yeah, we're building a bracket for everybody going to vote. Our buddy, Jake Owen, turns 39 years old today. I've said before pound for pound. I think Jake's the best guest on our show.

I tweeted that the other day and he texted me and then he replied on Twitter. And he says, I try to give you all 184 pounds of me every time I come and see you guys. Oh. So I don't know if that's a flex. He's in good shape. I don't know what 184 is for him usually. He's tall, right? pretty tall.

Jake was, I'm going to go the first one that I knew, the first guy that I knew in a couple ways, but the first, like, really great athlete that turned into a music star. Yeah. I think Garth did that, obviously. He was on a track scholarship to Oklahoma State. But, like, with me and who I know around town, the first one was Jake. And then came Sam Hunt. And then came Riley Green played football.

You know, he had a lot of those guys now. Oh, yeah. And what about Dustin Lynch? Didn't he play golf or anything? Yeah. And Jake was a great golfer. You know, so all that, but Jake's birthday today, I have a top five list of my favorite Jake songs at number five on the Jake Owen list, barefoot bluegee night.

This song reminds me moving in Nashville. Yeah, me too. For sure. This is one, if I had to make a top five of songs that remind me in Nashville, this one, and Randy Howse. Randy Howland. Randy Howling. I'm never going to buy a lot like this.

Yeah, yeah. Number four, favorite Jake Owen song. Down to the honky-tong. Number three, and now we get under the ones that they separate, because my top three are just my biggest top three. Alone with you. I love this song. Isn't that a jam?

We don't hear that enough anymore. Number two, anywhere with you. Come on. Jam, huh? So good, dude. I do this and I got to go back and listen to my J-Go and playlist. Number one, My favorite Jake Owen song is a new one

Made for you. I'm a sucker for these. Happy birthday, Jake Owen, 39 years old. I feel like we're going to honor it. Like he died or something. That's his birthday. An O bit. You know, when I moved to town

at this big press conference and a bunch of industry folks in the business came and they all sit around this little room, a little theater room, and Jay Cohen was one of the guys that was there.

He was one of the artists that came. There weren't a lot that came because they were like, what is this show? Yeah. But Jake Owen came. That's my first. memory. When we first moved in and we had what was Jerry House's old studio and there's a bunch of

like weird things written on the wall and, you know, it was like whiskey, you know, it just wasn't our vibe, but I was in a new place and I wasn't going to demand a bunch of changes yet. But so I have a picture of me in that room. Maybe the first or second appearance Jake Ever did on the show, his hobby was photography. So he brought this humongous camera. He took a picture and I didn't think much about it. And about a year and a half later, it came over to the house and goes, hey man, I had this made for you. And it was a picture of that from like our first year. And he wrote a big note on the bottom of it.

And I have it up in my office at home now. So cool. And then finally, as we celebrate Jake on his death. On his birth. I know, but it feels like we're doing it. I know, but people might just. Someone's just turning on the radio. They're like, what?

Jake Owen died? Jake Owen has the most listened to Bobbycast that we've ever done, which is my music podcast. He came over when we did, an hour we talk. He's done a couple of them, but if you go back to the first one, we've been so close and then fought so hard and haven't, we've been on both sides for my almost eight years here. We got into a real life fight on the air. And Mike D was producing it, sitting there going, should I turn this off? Should I leave? And we let the mics roll. And you got

to hear us, hey, buddy, hadn't seen you in a while. Real ugly. By the end, we're like, you know what? We were both a little wrong. Yay, buddy. It's a good one. It is. But yeah, it's episode 53. April 17th, 2017, 91 minutes. If you search for the Bobbycast, you can hear this. Jake is joined.

Bobby is joined by Jake Owen. This one gets real. Right out of the start is Bobby and Jake talk about friendship. Jake's divorce and his daughter. This one gets real. It's basically a 90-minute therapy session. That's episode 53 of the Bobbycast. What does he say?

Because you're weird, dude. Because you're weird, dude. So good. Anyway, love you, dude. Jake Owen, 39 years old today. Amy, I'm going to you. What's happening this weekend? I'm just going to be at home with the family,

but my dad will be coming over, which is amazing. And then probably just playing with the kids somehow, getting them active.
