Morning studio.
Morning.
All right, it's Friday.
Randy Hauser will be in later.
I'm glad to be here.
Isn't that what it's all about?
Yeah.
That's what it's all about.
Let's do the show.
Let's start right now up first.
Here he is.
He had a sty in his eye.
Oh, my eye.
It's our video producer.
Eddie, everybody.
Guys, guys, I attended my first coaches meeting and the schedule is out.
Laker Bones, which is the team, my son's basketball team that I am coaching and you Bones are sponsoring.
The schedule's out. Our first game is not this Saturday, but the next.
After Thanksgiving? No, no, no, not this weekend, but next weekend, next Saturday morning.
After Thanksgiving. Isn't that Thanksgiving?
No, I think it's right before Thanksgiving. It's right before Thanksgiving, so Thanksgiving.
Oh, I thought next week was Thanksgiving. We're not that far down.
I'm so tired. I was hoping.
You throw me off, man. I really thought that was Thanksgiving. I'm glad you said that.
I was already getting the turkey warm.
You're already making plans?
He was already carving.
Oh, man.
Okay, so the Laker Bones are playing.
Oh, I'm making be there.
We're playing the Wildcats.
It's at 9 in the morning, though.
I hate the, oh.
He's like, never mind.
I'm busy.
Guys, I scouted the team, just, I mean, just by names, you know, I looked at on the schedule.
And you looked at their Instagram's kids.
Just kind of, and looked at the coach where he looks like.
Do we got this game?
You feel all right?
Let's go.
We got this game.
Okay, okay.
How many people are on our team?
Eight.
We got any big men?
Oh, we got two big dudes.
Oh, we got any shooters?
We got three good shooters.
Yes.
And the other ones are just great defenders.
We like that.
We're working on it, though.
So we have one more practice.
This Sunday is our last practice, and we got to go hard because if we, like, massacre the team in the first week, we may not have to practice again.
Well, I don't like that.
What do you mean?
Remember, we win the league.
I'm throwing a pizza party.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking about.
I'm the Jerry Jones of this league.
Yeah, you are.
I got a little flare to me.
I'm an owner's over the flare.
So I'm going to show up in the owner's box, more a suit.
And they're going to be like, who is this guy?
I'm the owner of the Laker Bones.
Where's your box?
I'll bring a cardboard box.
It's a classroom by the gym.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, we're rooting for the Laker Bones.
Yeah.
Right, that next year he is.
Lack's box.
I like lunche year out, buddy.
So Amy brought us a remix her son had made.
He was watching videos on YouTube,
and it's like people farting and inserting it in songs.
And I was like, he has nothing.
His wasn't even been any good.
So I made my own remix.
Oh, gosh.
No, no, no, no.
He like made it.
We're not playing.
He did it on his watch.
Like, your son did.
Yeah, because the YouTube ones are most of sound effects.
Ray's mic.
What?
Are you kidding?
Ray, do you know this?
Yeah, it's disgusting.
He used your mark and farted in it to make a song?
Yeah.
I can't play it.
Ray's about to talk in his mic right now.
No, that's why I'm a foot away from it.
First of all, that's disgusting.
No, no, I wiped it down.
I tell you what we'll do.
I'm not playing it on the year.
Why?
Well, because it's disgusting and it's early.
I tell you, we'll put a clip up it on the podcast.
Okay.
You don't want to at least hear a little bit?
No.
Like a little bit, a little bit.
I don't.
Like you want to hear the song.
We'll put it on the podcast where people want to go hear it.
You can stop it before I get to the remix part.
Okay.
Okay, go.
Okay, okay, yeah.
Okay, okay.
We can't do that.
You tricked this because it started immediately.
Okay, okay, okay.
We'll put more on the podcast, but we ain't doing this.
We'll put at the very end of the podcast.
Oh, my God.
But will you send it to Stevenson because I'll love it?
Oh, okay.
Amy.
I hear she has Amy.
So I saw someone post on Instagram that also has a 15-year-old driver with a learner's permit,
like that they bought this magnet to put on their car when their kid is driving.
And it says, please be patient, student driver.
And it's a magnet.
So she ticks it off when their kid's not driving, throws it on.
And that way others around her are aware that like, hey, be a little cautious around us.
We're learning.
And I thought, do I need an order of one of those for when my daughter is.
is in the driver's seat.
Did you ask her if she would be embarrassed by that?
I don't really think she cared.
She just thought, Mom, you probably need to keep that in your car all the time.
Oh, for you and your driving.
Did she say that?
Yes.
She's funny.
That's funny. Hey, it's funny because it's true, right?
Yeah, it is true.
You think she's a better driver than you already?
No, trust me.
I don't know.
Let's see what Drive King says.
Oh, plus 100 who has an accident first.
Okay, all right, right.
Go ahead.
From Mount Pine, Arkansas.
His radio show is in syndication.
He's the leader of the B-Team Nation.
Bobby Bones.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I'm going to do a little something here.
We're going to premiere the song.
I'm going to tell you the story behind it.
So one day Garth Brooks called and said, this is a true story.
Hey, do you want to come open for me?
And it was a whole story about how I didn't even believe it was Garth Brooks.
But we get to the point.
I was like, okay, Eddie and I will come open.
The Raging Idiots open for Garth Brooks in front of 80,000 people.
Wow.
Amazing.
It was a wild night.
But the whole time, I'm thinking nobody cares.
Nobody's going to care about us.
And I'm having a comfortable with my wife.
I'm like, nobody's going to care about us.
We're the opening act. Nobody cares about the opening act. So we wrote this song, and it's called Nobody Cares About the Opening Act.
And so we were like Eddie and I, or from Brandon, we're just sending a voice memo to each other, kind of writing the song just on our phones.
We recorded it. And it's about how we were the opening act and nobody cared. And so I posted it on my TikTok and a couple of my friends commented.
This song, is us. And it was Lainie Wilson and Jordan Davis. And I said, well, why don't you guys write your own verse then? Why don't you do the song with us? And so they did.
So we're going to world premiere it right now.
This is The Raging Idiots.
I guess if you look it up, it's Bobby Bowens and The Raging Idiots
featuring Lainey Wilson and Jordan Davis.
And no, they wrote their own verses.
Yeah.
They came in and wrote their whole thing.
Funny verses.
Yeah.
This is called, and they'll be in later to talk about this.
This is called Opening Act.
So that's my little part of this here.
And here it is a world premiere of The Raging Idiots,
but Lainey Wilson and Jordan Davis
about the struggle of being an opening act
when nobody cares.
said the show started around seven o'clock
you got there early sat in your seats
and you got ready to rock
now you're stuck watching a band that sucks
you never even heard of these guys
you should go wait in line for some nachos
because everybody here knows
nobody cares about the open
nobody cares about the opening act
long that they play
your only wish is that they get
off stage. They said sing along and no one's saying it's true for the opening act.
Time for a button light and a half an hour bathroom break because her pants look funny
and she ain't real country and her accent sounds a little fake. Yeah, I'm dead because she said
she knows how to change attire. I should have stayed at home because she ain't Luke Holmes and
I didn't make her. Nobody cares about the opening. Nobody.
cares about the opening acts
you don't know a single song that they play
your only wish is that they get off stage
they said sing along and no one's saying it's true
I drove all night in a 15-seater van
there's so much gear on stage I got no room to stand
the only crowd I'm playing to's a bunch of empty chairs
so is a hundred bucks in a tray of cold cuts
Really all I'm worth
Won't lose my mind
If that guy will stop screaming Freebird
I'm not playing Freebird
Bro
Everybody cares about the opening act
Nobody cares about the opening act
You don't know a single song that they play
Your only wish is that they get off stage
They said sing along and no one sang it's true
He cares about us.
Been a ford a bus.
There's a back.
Because we're the opening act.
Time for the mailbag.
You send an email and we read it on the air.
It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag.
Yeah.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
My girlfriend got me interested in your show within the past year.
And she's also updated me on what happened with Ray Mundo and his twin.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm about to be in the same boat.
My twin has a history of dating people.
who isolate her from all her friends and family,
and she just started dating someone who is doing the same thing.
I've tried to talk to her, call her, text her,
but it doesn't feel like her conversations are getting anywhere.
I've even received some texts,
or it doesn't feel like I'm even talking to my twin.
It feels like I'm just talking to somebody I know.
And they've not even been the nicest messages.
She tells me I'm crazy, and then I'm wrong.
I want to be close on my twin,
but I don't know how to stop her from isolating herself
and making a bad decision.
I'm just wondering if you have any advice
on how to talk to a sibling that is making a really bad decision.
I'm curious if Ray Mundo, who has a twin brother, has any advice,
especially because they're not that close anymore.
Or maybe they are.
Sincerely, a twin in turmoil.
That's Ray laughing.
Ray, they have a twin, and I guess they're falling out of being super close with their twin.
Yeah.
I mean, similar to my situation.
But my brother just got mad at the family.
Oddly, I just think time will heal everything.
I don't live there or I would swing by the house.
What made you guys fall out?
I guess he got mad that my sister and mom were talking bad about his wife.
And then they kind of had a shotgun wedding.
After that or before that?
All in the same month.
But were you involved in the crap talk?
No, I mean, I lived down here, so I never did anything face-to-face or text.
I just read it all.
But why would he be mad at you then?
He's not mad at me.
He's not mad at my nephew, but he just doesn't talk to any of us.
But, and then he also with our wedding two years ago, he made up some weird excuse.
Just none of it made sense.
Yours.
He didn't come to yours.
Didn't come to my wedding.
Oh, so he doesn't seem like himself.
So, I mean, I'd say maybe a couple years you realize maybe you need something.
And he hits me up.
What do you tell her?
There's nothing you can do.
You can't force people to talk to or force a relationship.
It's just like, I would imagine it just like a best friend, friend.
Sometimes you go through stuff.
And sometimes the relationships just don't happen.
What can you do?
therapist, but he works at a lumber mill. I live in Nashville, so I don't see a therapist ever working that out.
Do you ever text him? Be like, hey, bro, I love you.
Yeah, I did some psychology-type things where I would like mess with him and I'd be like,
hey, man, I'd offer him a bunch of free stuff and see if he'd love you. That's not the same thing
that I love you. That's good. Test him. And I wanted to see, I was like, hey, man, I got a bunch of
cool stuff. I'd love to give your daughters, da-da-da-da-da. I didn't have any of it,
but I just want to see if he'd bite and you never bet. What? So he's ignoring you?
Yeah, everybody. He's not talking.
fucking anybody. Oh, he won't even answer a text.
No. Not even with free stuff.
Wow. Yeah. So that's how
he was that bait out there that Ray tried to lure him in with.
And he tried to lure for his daughter too, not even him.
Ray went double dirty.
Yeah. Ray.
No, I mean, I think eventually it'll all be fine, but
you just can't force stuff. Sometimes people go through
some stuff. No idea why he's that mad
at everybody. It was just a little text
thing, but... Does he think
you're allied with the rest of the family he's mad at?
Probably. Are you?
No. I mean, we all just want to talk to our brother
son,
sisters,
brother.
I mean,
all that.
It's all just
normal stuff.
We just want to talk.
I mean,
I hate the hero.
I didn't know.
It was this bad.
I thought you guys
were talking again.
That was sad.
No.
No,
yeah.
I think it was last time
was maybe a couple years ago
he hit up Laura like five times
and asked Baser,
hey,
what did he was Ray want for his birthday
but they never sent me anything.
Oh,
that was psychological.
It's bait.
Yeah,
yeah,
I like it.
Bade a jump on that one.
He didn't have anything.
Dang,
I don't even care about the email as much anymore
as I'm,
would you send him a message going, hey, I know we aren't talking.
Wait, same number?
Do you have same number, do you think?
I believe so all the same time that was going on, he changed his number,
and then through the grapevine, I got his new number.
And so I believe I was texting him.
I could have all along been texting his wife.
I have a new idea.
She's very controlling, and there was sometimes...
You do talk bad about it. Okay.
This sounds a lot like the email.
There was times she would send three paragraphs of a text like it was my brother.
My brother doesn't talk like that.
My brother's never texted more than a sentence.
So already a red flag that we know she'd,
texts for him.
It's family against
you know, in-law or whatever.
Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law. That's what it is.
I mean, it's very similar
to this email. Yeah.
So would you ever text
him and be like, hey, I don't know if you'll ever read this, but
love you and one day
I hope we can be brothers again and leave it at that.
I would have to unblock him first,
but then yes. Why did you block him?
If he's not responding.
I don't know. Just did it. Maybe he is responding,
but he blocked. Why did you block him?
When you turn down the offer for your daughters
It was a fake offer
It would have been real if you would have accepted it
But you said you never had it
I could have bought it
Wait
Oh boy
What if the wife is blocking him
Yeah or I mean
He's never been a technology guy
I could see him not even having a cell phone
My brother's completely different than me
Maybe he's never responded to any of these messages
And he just said I don't care about my cell phone
Maybe that's the case
I've just never seen him in person in 10 years
So
That's unbelievable
He haven't seen him in 10 years?
Not in a while.
One time he went at, we met at a Waffle House as he was going to Disney World, but I mean, I wouldn't say that a sit-down conversation.
No, I met him like eight years ago.
Yeah.
Then that was the last time.
Did you hug him?
We never really hug.
Oh, man.
That's just how my, what, he's a lumberjack.
The men in my family don't hug.
We don't.
Okay, I get that.
That's fine.
But I'm saying you don't not hug purposefully because of your relationship.
Yeah, we would never hug.
It's always just maybe a handshake.
So even if you're a little.
relationship is good.
They wouldn't have.
Like,
Lunchbox kisses his dad on the mouth.
Yeah.
I kiss my dad on lips.
Yeah.
He's not joking.
He does.
So it's different than you.
Not a big deal.
Kiss my mom in the lips too.
Yeah.
Sometimes triple kiss.
So my prediction is everything will resolve itself.
Just let it happen.
But it's been eight years and he's talking about time.
Well, if he's in the, I don't know what, if it's vicinity, go to their house.
But you can also, you can always, I tell you what, you want a day off?
You can fly up there.
I don't even know his exact address.
I'd have to search the entire town in a gone.
Well, you know, he works at a little lumber mill.
I'm not going to the lumber mill.
I already promised I'd never go back to that place.
How much a plane ticket up there?
Like, 800.
8.00.
Ah, you get cheaper.
I go search for him.
He'll be on the front porch waiting for me with a gun.
Wait.
No, he won't.
Escalating, right?
So you're telling me if we sent you up there and gave you the day off work, you wouldn't go.
I would go.
And meet him, find him.
I would find him, but it would take a minute.
because he has a weird schedule.
He'd probably be at the lumber mill during the day.
I don't know.
I'm going to think about this.
So I'd fly into, Ray.
So I'd fly into Marquette.
We'll come back on this.
We'll come back on this.
Hey, by the way, to the emailer,
just let them know that you love them
and you'll be there for them,
but you're not going to change her.
And we have another situation on our hands.
We're going to take care of here.
Yeah.
Dang.
Well, thanks to the email, though.
Yeah, thanks.
It really sprouted up a new plant, huh?
We've got a whole crop here now.
Yeah.
We've got your email and we've raised.
it on your air. Now it's found to close Bobby's mail pack. Yeah.
It is time for Fun Fact Friday. Fun Fact Friday.
The five most random yet most fun facts of the week as found by us. Let's go. Eddie.
Guys, rabbits, they cannot puke because their digestive system only goes one way and that's out
their butt. Isn't that crazy? I guess the muscles in their stomach aren't strong enough to push it
forward, so it only goes one way.
Would that be called pooping?
But if it's different.
I know that the mouth of a jellyfish is also
its anus.
Well, that's a good fun fact.
That's a good fun fact.
Hey, let me change mine.
You know the mouth of a jellyfish?
I did not, Eddie.
That's a double. There you go.
Lunchbox, what do you have?
Guys, we've all been to the swimming pool and we get out and we got red eyes.
And what do we say?
Chlorine must have got in there.
Nope, that's just because someone peed in the pool
and it's mixing with the chemicals.
Oh.
No.
Yeah.
Are you sure?
No.
If you've ever gotten red eyes after swimming,
it's not from the chlorine.
It's the result of chemicals mixing with urine.
Boom.
I mean, everyone does.
Challenge that one.
All right.
Challenge it.
How do we do that?
What do you want me to do that?
There's no process here.
I mean, that's what it told me.
Okay.
Morgan, what do you have?
Gatorade was invented at the University of Florida,
named after the mascot of the school, the Gators.
The University now receives 20%
of the profits from the beverage.
Ooh, I didn't know that part.
20%?
20%?
Oh my goodness.
Wow.
It was to aid the gators.
That's amazing.
Gator aid and they still make a much of money off of it.
What a deal.
It's crazy.
Amy.
Okay, so the chills that you get sometimes when listening to music that's caused
by your brain releasing dopamine and neurotransmitter that causes pleasure.
So music can do that for you.
Listen to it.
I guarantee lunchbox has never had chills listening to music.
Yeah, it's hard, though
It's got to be like
Really connect with you in some way
Oh, you've never done it?
Yeah, but rarely
Okay, man, when it hits
The song comes on you're like, wow, that's so good
I got chills, that's amazing
First time I heard meant to be
If it's meant to be
It'd be
It'd be
It'd a baby as I'm meant to be
That was the song
Mm-hmm, cool
That gave you those
Baby, yeah, it's a good one
And finally, the name Pepsi
Comes from the word
Dispepsia
Which means
and digestion since the original use of Pepsi was to help people with digestion issues.
Oh my.
And it turned into a soda.
Interesting.
It was just a burner.
You know how we talked about, uh, hydrogen.
The bubbles.
Carbonation.
And, and Coke is cocaine, right?
No, well, yes, it had, yes, little elements of it.
And it was used for medical purposes as well.
Not just Coke is cocaine.
I think just saying that.
Yeah, that's where the name derived from the cocaine plant.
Cocaine. Coca cola.
Cocaine a Coca-Cola, yes.
Fun Fat Friday.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
Congratulations to Mary Flip.
She's a woman in Arizona that just turned 101 years old.
She has lived through the Great Depression, multiple wars, had six kids.
She's a legendary artist in her area.
Oh, yeah, that too. All kinds of things. And she has survived and here she is talking about raising kids and living so long.
Having six kids and able to cope with it, even though they're all grown, not to stand back and see them fighting.
She asks what your secret for life is to make it good. Tequila?
Yeah, that's her secret to life. And she's celebrated this big birthday with her favorite beer, Guinness and some day.
Dancing.
See?
So people that always go, you know, the secret's Mountain Dew or pork rinds or tequila.
The reason they can say that is because genetically, they are so strong that they can have a lot of this stuff and live.
It's not what makes them live.
It's that their genetics are so strong that they can do it and still live.
So that's not the true secret?
It's not the true secret.
The true secret is they've made some good decisions, but mostly genetics.
I would imagine her parents or grandparents live long for their age as well.
All right.
That's a good one.
I like it.
101.
I'm going to go have some tequila today, although I've never had it.
I want to start.
All right, that's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
It's a Bobby Bones show interview.
In case you didn't know.
I'm big Randy Houser guy.
Let's walk through Randy's hits.
From 2012, how country feels.
Get your hair down, hair down.
From 2013, running out of moonlight.
Two jams right there.
Oh, they're so good.
2013.
A good night kiss.
Started with a good night.
Jam.
2015, we will.
went.
And he's on right now.
He's got a new album out called Note to Self.
We'll talk about a movie he's going to be in later.
Here he is, Randy Houser.
On the Bobby Bones show now.
Randy Houser.
2022 is a big year, Randy.
You got new baby, new album.
I mean...
That's crazy.
It's like one more thing in my head might explode.
What's the difference?
And I do want to talk about the album in a second,
but what's the difference in one and two kids for you?
Huck's four, right?
And you have a 10-year-old, but that's like an older.
That's like older.
But four in baby at the house.
Huck's three.
He turned three in gym.
But like, they say terrible twos of it or what's up, but no, I swear it's three.
So when you have a baby and a three-year-old, can the three-year-old watch the baby while you guys go to dinner?
We're trying.
We're asking him, but he said he had other parents.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I get it.
Once it's independence.
They get it.
Yeah.
It was a diaper.
Yeah, I hear that.
New album out today as well, and it's
been a while, my friend, so
also very exciting.
Like, I don't know, you wake up, the record's out.
Do you go and look on Instagram
or Twitter to see what people are saying about it?
I guess, you know, it's so weird because
traditionally I've been like, okay, I've got to do
my trip to Target and Walmart or whatever
and go buy the record all of it.
That's almost non-existent now, you know?
So I don't know. I guess I'll probably
go look at all your
social media and stuff and see.
if anybody say anything, how bad they're
dogging on it.
Well, that's what you go to ours for is to see people dogging on anything.
Mostly me.
If you go to ours,
it's just everybody attacking me.
Do you get any hate mail?
I figure you're so beloved, Randy.
Does anyone ever say anything about you that's not positive?
I mean, it's just, nothing really bad.
I don't know.
I'm pretty, I don't know.
I'm pretty stoic when it comes to that stuff.
I think it just, you'd have to be.
I don't know how you deal with that.
You know, I mean, but it's like,
people don't realize they can actually hurt your feelings you know for them yeah that is absolutely true
and i do get my feelings hurt sometimes and i am real and if you prick me i do believe randy i know i don't
think that people realize that whenever they're just typing to a screen and they don't realize
it they don't realize that they're affecting the mental health of a person that they're actually
just firing bullets that you know randy's the one doing it i can tell he's the one that's been saying
and stuff about me it just happens always me man um
By the way, the new album is out today.
Note to self.
How many tracks is this record?
Just 10.
You know what's funny?
You say just 10.
That's a lot.
But at the rate that some people are putting out,
and I like that it's 10 because...
There are some people like,
hey, we're doing a new record.
It's 93 tracks.
And I'm like, I'll never be able to hear all those.
I saw one other day.
It was like 30-something.
The most I've ever had on an album was 16,
and it was too many.
It was like, okay, we're bored.
you know, you get bored with something up to that many.
So I think, you like, for me, I'm going to keep scaling it back.
You know, I like that.
I've gotten to where I kind of like the EP thing, you know,
where it's just like six, five, six songs.
It's just like you can concentrate.
You can put more attention on something like that way, you know.
Yeah, I feel like, if it's too long, I don't get to spend enough time with each song.
And this is, you know, each song is an independent piece of art that people have sat together
and created both with words.
and thoughts and ideas and then sonically in a different space.
And if it's so much, it's like a four-hour movie or a three-and-a-half-hour movie,
I struggle with those because eventually, unfairly, my attention span is not there anymore.
No, I know. I get that.
And especially with doing what you do and trying to stay familiar with what everybody's doing,
you just don't have enough time to put into an album that are that long with people, you know.
Yeah, the only albums I listen to now are nine tracks or less.
Just heads up.
Okay, well, just randomly shave one off of mine and just randomly shave one off of mine and listen to the nine of them.
Hey, what is the role you have in Killers of the Flower Moon?
Basically like an attorney, but I play the guardian over the estate of the family that Leo's family.
I own a general store, like a big general store.
It would be like what Walmart of the day is, you know.
So my wife has read that book.
I think a couple of times.
I haven't.
Great book.
Yeah, I haven't.
She just,
she talks about it a bunch.
And so,
and I've seen it around the house,
and so that's why I know it
and her telling me the story.
But then Martin Scorsese is the director,
right, of Killers the Flower Moon?
Yeah.
And it comes out next year.
And how do you get this role?
And I mean,
how did they approach you to audition for it
and did you audition?
I did.
You know,
well, you know,
it was real strange
because it's not,
it's not really something
I ever saw myself doing.
But it was just a request that came through my agency through my management.
And just out of the blue asked if I would be interested in reading for it.
And I was like, well, I don't know what, I'm not an actor, but I guess so.
And I just went through that process like five times with the casting agent.
And like the fifth time, they were like, would you cut your hair and shit?
Yeah, it's a Scorsese film, I guess I would, you know.
Wow.
So they gave me the part.
I'll be completely unrecognizable in it, but it's so weird.
Wow.
Did you, this is a dumb question, but humor me, I mean, I assume you got to meet Scorsese?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, he must have met him a lot.
He acts like that's a, yeah.
Is it pretty intimidating to be around one of the greatest ever do it?
Dude, it was, I mean, so, yeah, it was fairly intimidating.
So my very first scene I was in was at this general store that they had built.
Like it's huge, it looked like if you walked into, I don't know,
so they'd spent tons of money on the scene.
The day before I'd seen a guy take like 17 takes for each angle
and they were getting aggravated with him and I could tell.
And I walked in and my first scene was at this huge table in the back,
which would have been my table
but family.
So here I am.
First day,
it goes in like that,
you know,
and it's so Scorsesey's kind of running through it with me and all that.
It was pretty,
I'll say that one day I can come on the show and tell you the whole story,
but it was nuts.
That is nuts.
And I want to get back to the album.
I want to ask more movie question.
So,
what you did,
lines with DeCaprio?
Oh,
yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's great.
My first day,
my first day was with Leo.
My second day was with De Niro.
What?
We're going to pick up all these lanes, you know.
Okay, so we're going to, this conversation, I'm going to hold until it comes in.
So next time Randy comes in, crazy, right?
I mean, yeah, in this, to think that it just kind of came across his desk.
Let me check my desk real quick.
An extra and a tied commercial.
That's what I got, an extra.
We can get to be a real one.
I mean, that's amazing.
Jeez.
It was, it was excellent, you know, I realize that there's a strong,
parallel from what we do
walking on stage to
what actors do and that's just hitting your own
switch because I was
you know I was so nervous before but
when it came time for that they were
taking me from my little chair
onto the set it was just like okay
we're going to work you know
so it's cool I hear you but
that's like you're going to go and
hey we're going to need you for a basketball game all right cool
I'm going to go over there oh oh Michael Jordan
oh magic John oh oh Larry Burr
oh cool Kobe it's like what
Yes.
Well...
It felt a lot like that.
We will get back into that next time you're in.
But the album is called Note to Self.
It's 10 tracks.
Hey, what do you think here is the most...
Like, I'm going to say traditional, old school country song.
What's the most traditional song on the record?
Country around here tonight.
And why?
What about that song makes you feel like it's the most country?
Well, for me, it reminds me of everything that was cool
when I was, you know, 17, 18 years old
and riding around the Sonic Parking lot in Mississippi.
hippie, you know. And it was also, you know, reminds me of the time in those years when I was
playing little bars and setting up all the PA and everything myself for, you know,
and waiting on the line of cars to come in to play every night. I mean, it's just that
that classic barroom country, uh, 90s vibe about it. And this record is not a 90s
throwback record, but that song just got that so much of that file about it, you know.
Do you care if I play that one? If I play that one, you have a problem with it.
that? No, I'd love you.
Well, then that's what I'll do. Hey, he hopes?
I do. That's right.
This is Country Round Here Tonight. The new album is out. It's called Note to Self.
Randy Hauser, finally. It's back. It's 10 tracks for you. If you're like me, and you only
have nine, pick one to throw away. Pick one to never listen to. I'm going to pick,
which one do I think looks really dumb? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Well, you know what? Listen to the one you're about to play and then listen to the other
mine some other time. Okay. I'll do that. I'll do one a year.
Check back in in 20 and 2032.
All right. He's got a new record out today. It's called Note to Self. And we're going to
play country around here tonight. Randy, congrats on the new record. Congrats on the baby.
Congrats on the movie. I mean, it's, everything's coming up Randy. You know what I'm saying?
Crazy, man. I'm very thankful for all of it. And thank you all for letting everybody know about
the record. All right, buddy. We'll talk to you soon.
All right. Thanks, Bob. All right, there is. Randy Hauser, everybody.
Here's a voicemail from Stacey in Houston.
Morning studio.
Tip for Eddie.
Deep a tea bag in hot water and then take the tea bag and put it on top of the sty.
Do that a couple of times throughout the day, and that should help with inflammation of the sty.
Eddie's eye is humongous.
It's like growing a second eye in that single eye.
It's so big.
The doctor said it would be down two days ago, and it's not.
Yeah, he said Wednesday should be fine, but it's doubled in size, tripled maybe.
It's like a globe.
It's like I want to spin it and look at all the plants.
All the countries.
I think the Sties are having babies in my eye.
Oh, I don't like thinking about that.
Well, that's gross.
But hey, question about that, though.
Is the tea helping here, or is it just...
You drink the tea.
I think it's something that's in the tea.
It's a relaxing tea, like an Earl Grey.
Okay.
And think about what you would do whenever the Stey's gone.
English breakfast.
Make sure it's a caffeinated tea.
No, I think you just put the tea back there.
Are you guys just making stuff about it?
Yeah.
Caffeine helps, I think.
Yeah, it stinks.
Your eyes big and it sucks.
I hate that for you, money.
All right, let's go to Annie in California.
I have a morning corny for y'all.
What do you get when you cross a snowman
with a vampire?
Frost fight.
Pretty good one.
I love it.
Here's one more.
This is Karen from Liberty Hill
talking about the CMAs a couple nights ago.
I'm watching the CMAs
and I paused the picture of y'all
up there getting your award
and I was trying to find Eddie
and I found him with the sunglasses on.
He just looks like one of the Blues Brothers
but he looks okay with the sunglasses on in the whole group
but y'all crack my butt up.
It was so funny.
But congratulations you guys.
Love y'all.
Thank you. And Eddie, still got the glasses on this morning.
I'm still rocking them. Dude, I can't see anything. I'm running into things. I don't know how rock stars do this.
A lot of practice.
Yeah, I guess. And you feel like nobody can see you, so you're just like, whatever, man.
Well, I can't ever tell if you're looking at me to talk. I know. That's what's annoying about this.
I may, I may not. You'll never know.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Jennifer Lopez did not hesitate to take Ben Affleck's last name when they got married. I had no idea. She was Jennifer Affleck.
I think of the dog.
Affleck.
That's a flak.
Affleck.
I think it's a duck.
She said that that sort of thing to her is romantic.
It carries tradition and romance for her.
And she's just that kind of a girl.
And then, you know, she was with Alex Rodriguez,
and then suddenly they broke up and all of a sudden her and Ben were kind of back together.
I didn't know how that played out until I read this article.
And what had happened was Ben sent her an email saying,
hey, a magazine reached out to me, wanted a quote about you,
just so you know, I gave you a glowing one.
like a comment.
And then they started corresponding by email.
And voila, secret visits started happening,
and they got back together and married.
What does that tell you?
And email is crazy.
What does that tell you?
I have no idea.
I really don't care about these two.
I think she's still going by Lopez.
She's not going to be J.F?
professionally.
Okay, well, this story you will love
because it's for our veterans.
Today is Veterans Day and Starbucks is offering free coffee to veterans,
current military service members, and their spouses.
You just have to show your military ID and you'll get a free 12-ounce hot-brewed coffee.
Now, they've done this before and it's always been hot coffee,
but this year, FYI, they have added iced coffee for free too.
That's right, because Americans are served like a little ice coffee too.
That's right.
Yeah, I do like that story.
Yeah.
Doctors told this boy in Illinois that he would never walk or.
talk. Well, here's the thing. He's six years old now and has defied all medical odds. And he recently
went to a Keith Urban show. He was there with his dad up on his shoulders holding up a sign saying,
I wasn't supposed to walk. I wasn't supposed to talk. Now I'm jamming to Keith Irvin. Well,
Keith saw the sign, paused the show, went and talked to the boy, gave him a signed guitar,
like it just like, well, this guitar cardboard cutout situation. He signed it. He signed it.
did the whole thing. Here's the clip from the show.
And what's your name?
Harrow. Callan.
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Callan.
Callan. It's a beautiful name.
They said when he was born, they said he would never walk or talk.
And now he knows all your songs.
What if you could only say things that Keith has said in the song?
Yeah, that's true.
That'd be pretty cool.
Keith's going to be a Monday, by the way.
That's a really good story.
It's inspiring.
Yep.
I'm Amy. That's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the goodness.
With lunchbox
Jeff LaChance is a military veteran who needed a new roof on his house
but couldn't afford it and he hates asking for help.
But he said, you know what?
I got to take a chance.
Looked up the local habitat for humanity and called him and said,
hey, I need a new roof.
I'm a military veteran.
They said, oh, let me contact you with Owens Corning.
It's a business that their goal is to get new roofs for veterans for free all across the country.
So they got some local contractors, got it.
up a new roof, and here's Mike from Owens Corning saying why he helps the veterans.
We've done about 350 homes now for veterans in need within this area.
So we love giving back to the community.
That's the greatest thing.
Wintertime is coming, and we want to make sure that family and his grandkids are protected
from all the elements.
So any veterans out there, if you need a new roof, hit these guys up.
I like it.
You know what I'm saying?
If you're a military veteran, you need a new roof on your house.
Call them.
They'll do it for free.
It's not bad.
It's not bad at all.
Why do I feel like lunchbox is feeling
Because he needs a new roof
He keeps saying like maybe if he says that enough times
Someone will reach out to him
Like he says their name enough times
I'll also go hey we like to give you a roof too
Yeah Owens Corning
Yeah great organization man
But you are not a veteran
No I'm not
I think it's a company
Owens Corning yeah
