Here's your host, Bobby Bones. Hey, a couple of things before I introduced Tim, who's our guest in here today. Morgan, were you gone when we got kicked off TikTok yesterday? No, I was here when we got banned.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Yeah, kicked off band, similar. But I guess kicked off means you get to come back the next day. We cannot. We were banned for three days, so. But why? I think because of talking about that little star symbol, that name, saying it repeatedly over, thinks we were saying cuss words. But you can say cuss words on the stream. There are things you can't say like, I won't even say that, like unalive.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Like, that's what people say now instead of the S word. You have to say unalived. It might be because we're currently kind of on a trial with TikTok in their studio. So maybe they are just really want us to be PG. They did say something that I took offense to. Oh, you should ban then then. No, I was really offended. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:46 A little thing pops up and it says you're violating our whatever, our code. And it said that due to unoriginal content, that's rude. Oh, that is rude. I don't know what that means. Were we plagiarizing something? Probably like Mojo in the morning turned us in and he's like, they stole our bit. And we're like, no, we didn't. You stole ours, idiot.
Starting point is 00:04:06 That type thing. Maybe. No, that's what old radio shows used to do all the time. They'd be like, you stole our bit. Maybe we played like audio of some or, I don't know. Or possibly it reads mailbag song. They think that that's copyrighted content. Well, I liked me on TikTok live through this setup.
Starting point is 00:04:24 But we'll be back next week. Yeah, next week. We're back. We'll give it another go. We just need to know what we can't say. Yeah, like they need to explain what happens so we don't do it again. Well, it could also be just talking about news stories and they think that's not original content. It's really hard to tell what TikTok believes as original content versus...
Starting point is 00:04:41 I just picture some dude in China over there going, I don't like it. Could also be that. Okay, so let's introduce our guest. Tim does mornings at Go Country in Los Angeles, correct? That is correct? No, but you're here, you're not here, but you were here. Like, your career was here. I was splitting time for a minute.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah, it's a bit of a story, but yeah. So do you go by Tim Hurley? I don't want to say your name if it's not your name on the air. What do you go by? Tim Hurley is the name that I use on the air as well. Perfect. Also my given name. Because some people don't have a given name.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Maybe I don't use my real name. Sure. But then my wife uses my real name, so it's not like it's hidden. So, yeah. So did you do the show this morning? I did. Yes, which is why we might be struggling just a touch here after the CMA Awards last night. No way.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Well, I guess it's later, though. you can well you know where there's some some expertise that we used to make it sound like it was live when it wasn't necessarily we record crap all the time yeah we get that i don't know if you recorded anything we record crap all the time yeah no absolutely we won't even do an interview live because mostly i don't do it for artists because artists don't want to be here at six 18 in the morning yeah it's good to get people in they're fresh yeah how was so what did it have you done while you've been here uh so we did the radio remotes oh the c m a official yep and so we're just talking to the artist monday tuesday and then obviously the award show yesterday was uh watching that
Starting point is 00:05:57 one from the comfort of the hotel room. Why didn't you go? You know, I've done the award shows many times, and the commercial breaks just break my heart. We were literally talking about that during our break, where the war shows are all good and stuff to watch, but when they go to commercials and you're there and it's constant, it's terrible. And Morgan said off here, she goes, that's why I got drunk or something. Yeah, because I kept going to get drinks because I was lords.
Starting point is 00:06:20 You feel like you've got to kill time, so you run to the bar, and then you don't get back fast enough before they close the curtain on you, then you got to go back to the bar. and then your timing's all off. It's a whole thing. It's like a tennis match. You can't actually walk down into the tennis match while it's happening. They hold you up because it's a distraction to the players. And it's like if you have a seat almost anywhere in like the front part, which he would be sitting because he's a big deal in media. Sometimes you can be on camera like getting into your seat and they don't want that. So when do you go back home?
Starting point is 00:06:49 This afternoon. How do you like Los Angeles? L.A. is great. I live in a great little beach town called Plyd-D-L.R.A. So if you're familiar with L.A. at all, there's obviously West Hollywood, there's a hustle and bustle, Santa Monica. And I live in Ply where everybody kind of knows each other, very small, 100 steps off the beach. I'm very familiar with L.A. as being carsick. Yeah, I don't leave the bubble. Yeah, I pretty much live in flip-flops and I take a bike anywhere. When did you move out there?
Starting point is 00:07:14 I've been there for 20 years. Oh, my God. Oh, you've been there forever. I've been there for a long time, and then I kind of fell into country music as an artist. And so that's why I made the move here to Nashville. and I was sort of splitting time and then day two of really giving Nashville to go of like committing to live here getting a house getting the whole that's when I got the job
Starting point is 00:07:32 offered to be the morning host in Los Angeles. Day two? Literally. So it's like I'm going to see you how did you make that decision? Day two. Day two. I mean I had had the house for a while but I couldn't spend a lot of time here because we ended up getting booked a whole lot which was great. So we were like touring around
Starting point is 00:07:47 we're playing a lot of great shows and stuff and then I was like really I'm like all right now we're going to move. We have a little bit of a lull and literally day two is when I got the call and they were like, we'd like to do like an air check with you so I flew back to LA day three for the morning did the air check in the morning
Starting point is 00:08:01 and got the job off for like 10 minutes later. bizarre timing. Very bizarre. I think a little bit I've been irritated at the timing. I'd been happy for the opportunity but I'd been irritated at the timing. And then I wasn't sure because I came here to be in the songwriting community and you know, doing the Nashville game as they say and then I was like, well is this going to help promote the music? You know, being the morning host
Starting point is 00:08:21 it's obviously major market and it's like a great opportunity. Job security is nice with a paycheck. I didn't actually know I was going to be paid when they first offered me the gig. I thought it was just to like promote the music. Oh, like a barter? You'd like to hire you to barter your songs. Like seriously, I thought I was just going to be like, you know, I'm like every once in a while to promote the music. And then I got the offer and I was like, oh, like this is a job that I have to go to every day. Your music career, you say you kind of fell into country music. Where'd you grow up? In Rhode Island. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. My mom's German. Makes no sense. I've been to Providence. It's very nice. They have a lot of shirts with like boat oars on them. Yeah. That's what I remember. Our logo is an anchor. Yeah, I go to the gas station. They have like sweaters and oars on them. That's what I remember about Rhode Island. So how far from New York was Rhode Island? Like, could you go to the city? The city's, uh, it's closer to Boston. It's only 45 minutes from Boston.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Oh, you were closer to Boston? Yeah. Providence is right there. And what kind of music were you doing at home? Uh, so I was never a musician, uh, ever. And, but I was a big, uh, Kenny Chesney fan. My roommate in college was from Denver. All he did was listen to country music, so I got kind of into that. And then I literally started, I sang a karaoke song at a dive bar like 400 yards from my house in Platt El Ray. And the guy, uh... In California, though?
Starting point is 00:09:30 In California. I was already in California when I got into, I kind of fell into music. But not to do... So why were you in California? I was doing event production. Okay. So you have a little bit of a weird path. No, I'm into it.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Yeah. Like, where'd you go to college? I was in college outside of Boston. Okay. And then you decided to go all the way west. Took a job out west, with a few stops on the way. So you were doing event production? Were you touring with groups or were you like...
Starting point is 00:09:54 We were doing like custom fabrication for events. So like, you know, we'd build out a studio or something like that. Sounds like it. Not according to my college or high school teachers and professors. This job is smart. Okay, so you do that. But then if you want to go write songs, were you around other songwriters in L.A.? So you kind of dabbled your toe in it there?
Starting point is 00:10:12 So I was absolutely not trying to pursue music whatsoever. I literally went to a karaoke bar drunk. Sure. sang picture Cheryl Crow. Somebody asked me to come up. Did you have part? Did you have part? I should have actually, but I did the kid rock part. But yeah, somebody was actually sitting in the crowd.
Starting point is 00:10:27 There were like eight people in our neighborhood bar. Prince of Wales. Shout out. And this guy was like, you got to meet my friend. He's in Texas, El Paso, Texas. He's a producer. I think you're going to do great things. From you singing at a karaoke bar.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Okay, go ahead. And so very long story short, but I end up kind of meeting the guy talking to him. And then about a month later, he invited me out to El Paso, Texas, where he was living because he got asked to open up for John Michael Montgomery. And he asked me to perform with him, basically, and start this new project. So the first time I ever played a gig or ever sat on stage or ever sang in front of anybody other than the eight people at the karaoke bar was in front of 10,000 people at Fort Bliss in El Paso. Open it for John Michael Montgomery. Yeah. Okay. So did you have any success? The response
Starting point is 00:11:09 was awesome. And I was like, this is cool. I guess I'll just try this now. So how long did you do that? So I worked with him for a couple years and then I just went on my own. And And I was in music probably for eight years, I guess. Doing what, doing more event production, touring? I was doing the event stuff for money. And then I'd started, I just wrote all my own songs. I never did a co-write ever. And I was really good at hustling.
Starting point is 00:11:31 So I ended up getting us like really good gigs, but never got a deal or anything like that. And then COVID hit, like it did whatever. Oh, this is all pretty recent too. Absolutely, yeah. Oh, wow. So, I mean, we still play. What's name? What's name of the group?
Starting point is 00:11:43 Tim Hurley. That's original. At Tim Hurley music. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm in. Shameless plug. I'm in at Tim Hurley Music. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:11:51 I'm going to go look at it right now. It's been underwhelming recently. How do you, because I struggle with, if I'm touring, doing comedy, it's hard, because our hours are awful. Sure. It's, I mean, awful. Yeah. So how do you manage that? A lot of coffee and a lot of Zen.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Look at you here. Tim Hurley. Dude, in this picture, I can't really talk because you have a long sleeve shirt on it. In this picture with short sleeves, you're pretty jacked, dude. Used to be. I just had surgery a little while ago, so I'm trying to get it back. Don't play it down. That's crazy. Look at you. I say aftermath. You're behind a bar. What's that picture? What's this one here? That's at the shack in Plaid L. Ray. It's my go-to bar. And I play acoustic there sometimes just as a favorite of the owners. And then they let me turn bar afterwards. Oh, nice. That's cool. Usually just myself. Last night, as you watch the show, what performance did you enjoy the most? Ashley McBride. I think she's, I think she's, He's one of the most underappreciated artists in all of country music right now.
Starting point is 00:12:52 And I think she's truly one of the most talented people right now, and she knocked it out of the park. And a lot of the people that have big time production, you'll notice, you know, they get up on stage in front of a live audience. And it just sounds like a little off. It's not that it's a bad, but just a little bit off. And Ashley McBride gets up, and she's just holding an acoustic guitar. And she sounds like absolutely perfect every single time.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Do you have any sensitivities of questions? I can't ask you? Like about people? Depends. I know. That's a weird question to ask. And you guys already got canceled. I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into here.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Oh, we've been canceled 100 hours. What's another cancellation for us? No, fire away. I'm good. Zach Brian, thoughts. Ooh, I'll be honest, and I'm not just saying this, but I've never been a huge Zach Bryan fan. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Are you less of one now after hearing all the personal things about him? It's making me think. When there's smoke, there's fire, but I haven't heard the response yet either. So I'm kind of curious. I'm here for the ride at this point. I'm not going to go either way. I'm very much a viewer of this show.
Starting point is 00:13:48 However, he does sound like a lot more of a dirtball than... But then I know so many artists, and you don't have to make a noise here and agree or disagree because I don't want to put you in a weird spot. I know so many artists that people love and like, this person's great, and they're absolute dirtball. Like, they're the worst human. Yeah. Like, they treat people like crap. They got famous. And so they're surrounded by all yes men, and they're absolute garbage.
Starting point is 00:14:09 As humans. Great singers. But, yeah, they're just garbage cans. And I'm not saying he's that, because I don't. I don't know, but it's definitely not good for the resume. The line that really got me was when Dave Portnoy said that he knows for a fact that his band hates him. Yeah, me too. That was the one.
Starting point is 00:14:25 He's like, I know for a fact. Because if everybody around you hates you, that must mean consistently you're treating everybody around you like absolute garbage. Especially the people that you're really putting up on a pedestal like nobody else. If they hate you and you're acting like they're your best friends. Yeah, that's rough. They just mildly dislike me. You guys don't hate me. It's just a mild dislike.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Not fully enough. Yeah, right. They were pretty open about it when I walked in. Yeah. They were like, no, it's very mid. Did you see the UFC stuff? Was that, Ryan? I did a little bit.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I'm not a huge UFC guy, though. Okay, so I didn't watch the fight. Okay, you guys, get, you know, a little pee's going to come out. Come on. So. Pea, like urine? It's that Jose one. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:15:03 You know what more? You know the UFC stuff? The fighter after he won the fight? No, I don't think so. So, here's what happened. So the last UFC fight, Brianna chicken fry was there. It was known.
Starting point is 00:15:14 She was there. Dana White invited her out. She was doing TikToks about it. And Zach Bryan's, Zach or his management, it's the same because it's coming from him, had offered, and I can read the story,
Starting point is 00:15:28 but he had offered somebody money that if they won when they do their mic to shout out Zach Brian, because Brandon was there. Really? It's hilarious. So she's there. There's the interview in the Octagon after.
Starting point is 00:15:42 The guy's name is David O'N. Amma, right, Mike? He claimed he couldn't wait to come back to Madison Square Garden to see Zach Ryan in concert after he'd won the fight when they're talking to him. And he's like, I'm supposed to thank everybody. I can't wait to come back because he's Zach Bryan in concert. And that was just, okay, a lot of Zach Bryan fans. Heck, I like Zach Ryan's music, right?
Starting point is 00:16:01 So the cameraman then goes over to Breonna, because that's the story, the end. However, they get on a podcast, and I watch the podcast, and it's a couple guys in they're interviewing him. And then it's just an interview about the fight, whatever, and they were like, you was Zach Brian fan? He goes, I don't even know who that is. They like called and, they were like called and basically offered him money to say that as a way to like troll her as she was sitting in the crowd.
Starting point is 00:16:31 And so here's what I have, a quote. My manager called, hey, Zach Brian is here. I want you to give him a shout out. He wasn't there. But so they were a bit dishonest about that. He goes, to be honest, I don't know who Zach Brian was. When the host asked if I, if it was a paid advertisement, he goes, exactly. That's literally what it was. So he paid to have, like, that's, that's, that's, that's heavy dude trolling. He, he, I'm going to say this, allegedly took the cat that she adopted, like, rescued and like now does Instagrams
Starting point is 00:17:00 with it, like, in the house. Oh, a real cat. Yeah, no, it's a cat she saved, adopted. Like, as a troller, like, respect. But as like a person, I think probably kind of a bad person. It's a weird decision for him to do that, right? Because she literally said, he took my my cat and then the next post was a picture of him and the cat. And the cat was like on a shoulder. Don't be proud of like being called a jerk. And she's like the reason he won't deny any of this because I have all the videos to say otherwise. Like he won't come out and say he didn't do anything that I've said with the abuse because I have the actual videos.
Starting point is 00:17:28 The other one was there was a fighter that came out to something in the orange like song. It came out to the fight on it. UFC too. That same night. And so, I mean, that's not really a song you come out to. Yeah, I guess not. But I mean, I like this song. Like I'm a fan of the music.
Starting point is 00:17:43 I literally genuinely am. But I mean that now is speculation too that he paid to have that done just to troll her. As trolling, hilarious. As a person, if all this is true, garbage. Yeah, yeah. If true, he sucks. Not just for this, but everything
Starting point is 00:17:58 that led to us and even knowing about this. Like the mental, emotional abuse that she alleges. He sucks. This makes him suck even more. Yeah. But he's committed. Yeah, got to give him that. Like whoever came up with that idea in his camp,
Starting point is 00:18:13 probably him maybe or maybe like one of his boys unless one of his boys hates him like you know but it's it's a it's a soap opera that i'm in yeah and i hate it that it happened it sucks when you humanize things it's like though i'll watch a ted bundy documentary and be like i'm so entertained by this and then i got to go like okay this is real but at least that happened in the past but then you're like don't say at least because people got murk it's a whole i'm like yeah yeah yeah we all watch and then we're like did you watch a teddy bunny documentary it doesn't seem real but yeah yeah that's what i's what i wondered about that that's what i wondered about that So Morgan Wallen wasn't there last night. Thoughts on that?
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, that was very odd. But I thought it was pronounced Morgan Whalen, though. Yeah, Wailing, right? Morgan Whaling? Did you make it to the end of the show? Did you actually see that one live? Oh, absolutely, yeah. No, that was interesting. But yeah, that seemed like a little bit of a troll also. Yeah, I enjoyed that troll. Yeah. That's one I fully enjoy it. And I said that on the show. I was like, no, I'm for that. I think he purposely didn't show up. I think he should have won it last year. And I'm glad he won this year. CMAs are usually. or at times they've been a bit behind by a year, and there will be outrage,
Starting point is 00:19:17 and then the next year they correct it. I always love the new artist of the year category is amazing, where it's like people that have had like number one songs for like two years, three years. The perfect example of this year. I talked to him a couple times, and it was so, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:19:29 what new artist of the year? Like, you've been around for like five, six years with songs on the radio. He's like, I just got my pension. I'm up for new artist. You know, my favorite performance last night that I saw because I had to leave early, but Ella Lingley and Riley Green.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I was obsessed with it. Like I was smiling the whole time. Like I love that like she popped up out of the crowd and started singing and then she's on stage and then boom, there's Riley. He stands up. I don't know. It was just like quintessential country. It was so good. She's Firecracker.
Starting point is 00:19:59 They've done that in here. They've performed that in here. Yeah. I know. But it was like just seeing them do that their thing on stage. Like they just, that's her first time doing anything like that and she killed it. I was watching a, like maybe it was after they had won their award for event of the year, which means just more than one artist, you know, doing something together.
Starting point is 00:20:19 And she was like, this is the first award I ever won. It's quite the introduction. Yeah. Yeah. It's like I have a friend who took his son to his first college football game and he took him and the friend of mine is pretty connected because he's an agent to some massive sports figures. And he's like, I finally took him to his first game and we went on the field and we went back and talked to the coach. and it was a crazy game.
Starting point is 00:20:41 We took pictures of the mascot and a couple of the players. I was like, that's his first game. No game's ever going to compare. Never. Like, that's his first experience? He's done. Everything's going to suck from now on. And he was like, yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:20:51 So then they went to another game, and he said they purposely bought tickets really high and didn't do anything. Just to give him like an equalizer experience. This is real life. Yeah. So what time do you have to wake up? I'm kind of pushing it these days. It's like five. It's not too bad.
Starting point is 00:21:09 You go on at six? Six to ten. And your studio is how far from your house? It's like 10 minutes door to door. Oh man, that's awesome. You ride your bike like lunchbox? No, I actually do take the car for that one. I might have lied a little bit.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I do drive. In L.A., they think you're the... Because here you look like, it's normal, everybody that you walk down the street. In L.A., do they think you're a big hillbilly? If you're just out and not your own neighborhood? No, I mean, everybody wears a costume in L.A. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:21:33 It's just everybody's dressed up for something. So they're like, all right, you're in the country costume today. That's fine. Wow. That's a good point. Amy, question for you. Should we do a mid roll, Ray? Yep.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Okay, quick midroll here. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turdusts. and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.
Starting point is 00:22:24 We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.

Starting point is 00:23:03 If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a lot. real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take
Starting point is 00:24:50 control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah. This is my best friend Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast.
Starting point is 00:25:55 We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just a second.
Starting point is 00:26:09 What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would. Come on. I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky. I'm not an alcoholic. You are. I'm lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team, and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Listen to soccer moms on the ice. Hi Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, Amy, a question for you because we never talked about it, and you never told me. Were you ever on TV? Yeah. Yes, I was. Yes. You never even, and yesterday you never even said anything. I know. I know. It's not a, I didn't want to make it a thing. No, no, no, no. But it should have been a thing because we did a whole bit about it the day before.
Starting point is 00:26:58 I know. So Tim, what happened was Amy went and did an interview with the Opry and they interviewed her for a bunch of stuff. And then you just kind of wait and see if they put any of it on the ABC, the night before special. and we talked about it. We were like, Amy's going to be awesome. Then she never came back and said that she was on. Because you don't know what they're going to use. Yeah, yeah, I didn't know. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:16 It was a 2020 special and, yeah, I got, some of my Jason Aldeen stuff got used, Shabuzzi, Carly Pierce. Did you bring any of it? Did you bring any of it? Oh, no, it's okay. You say it's okay? Like, did you not bring? Well, I don't know. How am I supposed to get that?
Starting point is 00:27:35 I record it with my phone. You just rewind and record it. Yeah, yeah. It's okay. Oh. You just never said. It just makes me feel, it just felt awkward. You were on 2020?
Starting point is 00:27:44 Yeah, yeah. And you didn't kill anyone. Okay, so here's where I'm awesome. A listener pointed out to me, they sent me a DM. They were like, oh my gosh, I'm freaking out for you. Because you're sort of like now one degree of separation from Robin Roberts. I mean, and she's been on my podcast, and I've talked with her before. I just haven't met her in person.
Starting point is 00:28:03 But like, ABC, that's her territory. and I was like kind of inching my way into her territory. And I was like, I wonder if she watches everything on ABC. And she's like, oh, there's that Amy girl. I wonder what she's up to. And the next time she needs a co-host for something or help in country, she might call me. I would say that sounds like crazy talk, but there have been situations where that's happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Maybe that happens. Yeah, this is what I'm putting out there. I would like to do that because I just love her so much. She's been such an inspiration to me. So that was my little, I'm like, oh, yeah. But I want to talk about what they showed of you. Like how much air time did you get? It was little snippets like with each artist, like the thing that came up.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Like with Carly Pierce, it was, you know, she had to call out a guy for being rude at her show. And she was like an empowering moment for her. Was that a song? No, it happened like during a show. Okay. Because every song is about calling out a guy. So I didn't know if this one was about a song. No, it was the guy literally there.
Starting point is 00:28:56 But it was just, I think, an endearing moment for her with her fans to like see her be there and be strong and stand up for herself. and then like Jason Aldeen, the Route 91 Festival. So like with that, like Kelly Sutton had done, she was talking about the tragedy, like what went down. And then it would go to like a clip of Jason on stage. And then all of a sudden I, then I was talking. And I was like, that's my voice. I wonder if they're just going to use my voice and not show my face.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Oh, did they show your face? Well, eventually. It was like my voice. And then there I was saying just that, like his, how he feels now making sure staying connected to that because of the people that lost their lives. Like he
Starting point is 00:29:37 went through a lot on stage that night but I don't really remember exactly what I said it's like I said a lot of things and then they use that one little snippet. Oh it's a story of my life. I would go do when I was on an idol I'd do it three hours. They'd use 15 seconds of it.
Starting point is 00:29:51 You know what happened with the Shibuzi thing though? Because you know it was like reading up on stuff before obviously because I was like okay what if they asked this and I and my son really like Shibuzi So we've listened to some of his other music too. Like, obviously he has the hit. But, like, online specifically it said he's been making music for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:30:08 But the clip right before Shabuzi goes, yeah, I'm 29. And I started music when I was probably like, you know, 17, 18. I was like, and then the next clip goes straight to me where I'm like, he's been making music for 10 years. When he just said he's been making it for 11 or 12. That's the same thing. 10 years, though. It bothered me.
Starting point is 00:30:24 That wouldn't have bothered me. Yes, you're a harshest critic. I'm saying don't be bothered by that because 10 years is a general. feeling for around a decade. That could have been eight or could have meant 12. I know. But it's just where I was like, dang, he just did the math. And then it goes to me saying that.
Starting point is 00:30:38 And then it looks like. But they also didn't feel like what you said was stupid because they put it in there. True. Because they felt like I would have felt. Yeah, 10 years just means around 10 years. I know. Not you didn't say. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I didn't say around. I said, he's been making me super. It just was funny the way it lined up because it looked like if Shabuzzi and I were in the same room that I don't know how to do math. Don't take that. Because I hate me. I know, but this is why I probably didn't bring it. I just, like, also dissected every single thing I said, and I was like, stupid, stupid, so that's why. You need to have it.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Is that why you didn't bring the clips because you thought they were stupid? Yeah, I didn't. The truth is coming out. You also need to find a way to get the first generation version of it for your tape. Oh, yeah, I know, I need to build that. But you're real? Yes. You need to make, if you're going to use that to make a tape to get other stuff, like you have to have that.
Starting point is 00:31:27 I know. I know. So. We've been talking about that for a couple years now. Don't run from that. I know. I know. This is why I missed out on my opportunity to be in that Hulu movie, too. Why?
Starting point is 00:31:38 Because I didn't, like, I give up, like, I just. What opportunity for a Hulu movie? Well, there's the, the girl, she, well, maybe. I don't know if I. That doesn't sound familiar. Yeah, I think I brought up that there was, maybe it was on my podcast, I don't know. I brought up that there was that Hulu movie that came out this year for Christmas, and the star of it, she has her own radio show.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And she ends up. It's the one that we watched? She ends up with this cowboy, a widow or cowboy guy. You thought you were going to be the star of a movie? No, but I mean, like if I had stuck with it, I could have auditioned for that. Oh, this is a big if. Okay, she's iffing like crazy. Yeah, but like, I was like, that's me. I thought you got to offer the role.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Or it's like, hey, would you come audition? You're like, I don't have a tape. No, no, you're ifing. You're, got it. No, but had I stuck with it? Your Peter Panning. Yeah, you're up in the disguise. Very dusting.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Sure. I'll give you that. It's not totally realistic. How you set that up, we thought you like missed an audition. didn't have a tape. I did miss an audition because I gave up. But they didn't offer you an audition. Right, because I gave up. No, we didn't miss it. Right. But how I stuck with it, then I would have maybe known about it and then I could have submitted a tape. And the same thing was Scoobo Steve in the NBA. Yeah. Because Scoobo Steve believes if he could have made it to the NBA.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Way more confidence if my dad would have been in my life and I would have that support system. I could have easily been in the NBA. I have the strength. We don't, we don't, we don't not believe in you, but I don't think they would have given you a lead role in a movie when you've only ever had. I know you believe in me. The problem is I've got to believe in myself, which is why... So you're like you're suffering from Scoba Steve syndrome. No.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Oh, Triple S? Yeah. Oh, no. Get a doctor in here. This is not good. Made diagnosis of Triple S. It's like after I did the first, that Christmas movie, I was on the high, like an like a high.
Starting point is 00:33:12 And I just started, I was like, oh, I'm going to do this. And I went after it and somehow the high died. And then I was like... Well, that's the high died. But also I got, I got nervous that, like, you know, I let the stories in my head get to me. stupid, what are you doing? And I shouldn't do that because I tell other people all the time.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Don't do that to yourself. Like, you should believe in yourself and you're capable. The high diet, you had fear of failure, and that is natural, but my only point was I thought we missed a story about her like being late to an audition or being offered one and she'd have a tape because she was like, I should have
Starting point is 00:33:46 saved it until I missed a Hulu movie. Turns out she just saw a movie about somebody. Who had a radio show. No, and I've seen the movie. But I don't think you needed a radio show to be that person. She's single? No, no. That would have been more like that. I think that movie was based on me more than I could have played the part in that movie. Correct.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I will say, though, I saw the movie and I did think, well, Amy could do this part. But that's it. The woman that did it, she did a great job. She deserved, but I mean, I'm just saying. You thought Amy can do the job where you thought, oh, this reminds me of Amy's life. That's what it was. It reminds you of Amy. Yeah, but I thought since she's in holiday harmony, like, she could be this person.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Yeah. I did think that while I watched the movie. Well, you know what? Give you a rose to. No, I'm just saying. But then that's what made me think like, okay, dang, Amy really could have been in this movie? But no, she was just on her head. Bobby, have you ever thought about
Starting point is 00:34:28 writing a movie? No, I mean, I'm thinking of it right now. But I don't want to do it. Okay. I'm not thinking about it anymore. Hold on, I'm not thinking about being an astronaut right now. Hold on, hold on. I'm thinking about an astronaut.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Okay, I don't want that too. Hold on. That's a realistic question. Because you've written books, you write, like, stop. That's it. Don't make fun of my question. Well, you said just thinking about.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Right now, I'm thinking about three feet. I'm on foot. Oh, that's weird. So my answer is, I've written a couple of television show scripts. I hated it. Oh, so you don't want to.
Starting point is 00:35:01 But have you given movie scripts ago? I don't care enough to do it. And I'm not, no, I don't have a genuine enough interest to put the work into it. That makes sense. I think I could do it and write a hundred great ones. I think I can do anything because I'm nuts. Like I'm certifiably insane. I think I can do anything.
Starting point is 00:35:17 You believe in yourself? No, I'm insane. Oh. Yeah. More so than just believing in myself. I believe I can do anything in the whole world. Like, what's going to stop me? Right.
Starting point is 00:35:25 What do you do? Anything. Exactly. I can do that. Some people have to act as if and they have to tell themselves. They can do it. And it's like you act as if and then you create it and it happens. But you are naturally.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Certifiably insane. Acting as if you were born that way. Yeah, I can do anything. I can be a heart surgeon. Okay, cool. Nah, you can't do that. I swear to God, if I went right now and I need more than an hour. You need more than an hour a day.
Starting point is 00:35:50 But I think you give me a year. I'm doing surgery on hearts. Okay. Check with your wife first. He could dedicate himself to it. And then, like, I think believing in yourself is part of the battle. Yeah, and it's, and I also understand how irrational it is. But it takes irrational dreams to do irrational things.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And I think everything I've ever done has been really irrational. I have no background in any of this stuff. I've never written a book. First time I never write a book, I was like, I know how to write words. Okay. I didn't tell them that. I was like, yeah, no problem. You know what I did?
Starting point is 00:36:17 I just freaking wrote essays. One after the other. And then mailed them. Email them off. It was like, I don't know. This sucks. I wouldn't even take money for my first book because I was so nervous it was going to be bad, but I was like, I know I can do this. Hold the money until we think it's good.
Starting point is 00:36:29 And then after I've sent in the 30,000 words of the 60, they're like, this is good. I was like, give my money. I was like, but to them, I never was like, I don't think I can do it. I was like, no problem. I would have been like, give me all the money up front because this is probably not going to be any good. Yeah. You ever act in Illinois? No.
Starting point is 00:36:46 You got like the faith for acting. You're a good looking dude. You can do that. And all the studios next door. Yeah, I know, right? Ride your bike over there. do you know like cool people I mean I just met you guys
Starting point is 00:36:59 no like real cool people like we're like moderately cool for this building everybody in this building we're moderately cool for this building like do you know like famous people over there in LA not really I don't hang out with the famous crowd that's good because it's weird I keep my little bubble you ever go to a ditty party no okay I can be that I had a little hesitation
Starting point is 00:37:18 I just imagined what it was again but I think there are a lot of people that went to ditty party parties, white parties that didn't do what Diddy is in trouble for. Oh, for sure, because they would leave before midnight. Or they just weren't invited to do that part of it. Like, they weren't invited to do that part of it. I have worked with Diddy before. Oh.
Starting point is 00:37:33 And what capacity? Event production. Really? Capacity. And Mark Walberg. He's like, I would just set up the white parties. Did you hear, because I always heard. I never got the invite.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I was batting my eyes and everything. Never got the invite. I always heard weird stuff. But it was always like secondhand weird stuff. Yeah. Did you ever hear weird stuff about Did he? He gave off a very weird vibe. I will say he had like six people working.
Starting point is 00:37:52 forum that were all between like 20 and 25 years old and they were like running around to different directions all they getting waters doing this and that it was just like an odd vibe yeah and i remember thinking there's somebody told me that i knew new people and i was like no way and it wasn't what he's in jail for but just others we like bizarre stuff that wouldn't say on the i don't want to you know be sued yeah but amy i saw more of those ditty videos which oh the ones like that where the private investigators come to people's houses That's so crazy. It's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And it's always two investigators. You know what this makes me wonder? Because you know how there's other people maybe involved? Like how high up or whatever does this go? Because if it was like Diddy and he had other famous people or politicians. Well, they want to be protected. Right. So that's why things are happening.
Starting point is 00:38:44 That's why it took so long for the Epstein stuff to come out. There were people at networks being like, now we're not doing this. And then you're like, why were they not doing it? because they are the Harvey Weinstein. Yeah. I mean, talking about extremely elevated people with positions that can smush stuff. But yeah, I saw another one of those. Yeah, what's like, no, no, I hate that it's political, but it's still just a huge story right now.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Don't go political right now. I just don't even feel like it. What's Mark Wahlberg like? Why did you make a noise like a noise like you sat on a wopee your cushion right then? Hang on to on that. I'll just wait. I'll wait my turn. Because I'm just like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I just wonder how deep some stuff goes. and like how messed up a lot of things are. And I'm like... Just like I said, those famous people were real dirtbags here. There's an artist that I know of. I didn't go. I didn't see them on eye,
Starting point is 00:39:34 so I can't actually say it. But who is a guy artist who whenever young female artist, this is just what's been told to me. Otherwise, I'd be like, if I actually had seen it or knew it for sure, that young artists would come to town and be like, hey, let's write.
Starting point is 00:39:50 And maybe like make him a bit of a strip. club you're talking about like well like it's just gross stuff some people they always say when you get money or power you find out who they really are because it's always more it's always the most of whatever they really are and that's gross create the creative industries are gross for the most part because people have to have a screw loose to even want to do it and to do it at a high level because you need to have something about you that's intrinsically different artistically so you need to have a screw loose, you just got to hope it's like the right combination of screws, so you're like making great art,
Starting point is 00:40:24 but you're not like doing other weird stuff. And that's hard. I find my weird stuff to be baseball cards. And that's healthy. That to me is pretty healthy. So what's the rest of the day like? I'm just catching a flight. I'm actually going to Jersey today to visit some family friends, but I've had my Nashville fill, man.
Starting point is 00:40:42 It's been a long stretch here, as you guys all know, too. I'm sure this week. It's like your Super Bowl. Yeah, I had a stomach bug, so I didn't do much. I literally was on the Super Bowl. bowl. That's more work, though, than actually doing the interviews. Yeah, no, that's true. I would disappear for like half an hour on the show, and that's when they know I'm about to die, because I don't even go to the bathroom really around here. And I was gone for like half an hour and you get a text.
Starting point is 00:41:02 You're okay. It's not good. The weird thing about our bathroom here is that it looks like it's two doors in the men's bathroom, separate stalls, like in fancy places. Like in a casino, you open a door. You have your own room for the bathroom. That one, it looks like two doors and two rooms, but then you open it up and there's like a little plastic wall in the middle and you're still like chilling with your buddy. It's a faux-owned room. Yeah, it's not real. Like, I'm in the lap of luxury here. Dude, I was pumped about that when I first walked in and I saw the gap.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Next thing you know, battles next to you taking a poohy. And you're like, well, this is, yeah, this is look too close for comfort here. By the way, there's nothing worse than getting a text while you're in the bathroom, bathroom asking if you're okay. Yeah, I just. But he knew because it'd been a while. That's pretty rough, though, right? I never leave room.
Starting point is 00:41:43 If you're having a moment and somebody text you about it. I just thought, I honestly thought you got pulled into a meeting. Like you went to the bathroom. That would have been a trouble meeting then. Well, yeah. Or somebody was here. Like they were mad about lunchbox's hoodie. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Don't. I can be mad all they want. Did Tim see that? Tim see that? No. On TV? No. On TV.
Starting point is 00:42:04 No, we were on TV. We were on TV. Not with the hoodie. No. It was a picture of us winning the award. And lunchbox was in the front with his hoodie. Really? No.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Ray was in the front. I saw the picture, which is why I looked. Ray was the only person on that. that row, by the way. Did you notice that? Hold on. I don't know any story about it because I wasn't there. I saw the picture and that's what led me to go, what is lunchbox wearing? And then I looked and I had a message from someone going, what is lunchbox wearing. And I thought he was wearing like a funny suit. I didn't know what was going on. Got it. I wasn't feeling great anyway. And I look at the picture and Ray Mundo is in the very, very front. I loved it for you. You look great. Maybe I
Starting point is 00:42:39 always thought they put the smaller people up front. That's what I thought. That's what it was. No, we were like, so I was next to Crook and Chase and they were supposed to be the front Ro, Crook and Chase are the ones holding the award on behalf of everybody that was up there that won. I tried to get the award but they gave it to Crick and Chase. It's probably the hoodie. They're like, we can't give the hoodie guy the award. And so, then Ray's like just right there
Starting point is 00:42:59 on the front, like nobody else is on that step. It's just like Ray. I respect that. Well, roll the tape back. I think somebody was standing next to me and they moved up last second. Dude, Ray, you are, you are so on front and Amy's hand is on your shoulder. Yeah, because I was like, what do I do? This is awkward. I mean, this is our show. Let me explain the picture.
Starting point is 00:43:15 It's so awkward. This is so funny because I've not looked at it on full screen. It's so bad. Okay. I need to see this. So Crook and Chase. Wait, is this on TV? They showed the picture briefly when they're like, here's all the winners.
Starting point is 00:43:29 And it's everybody who won an award. Okay. So it's like a lot of people. So Crook and Chase, legends in the industry when I was a child, I listened to Crook and Chase. I've had them on a part. I love them. That was their first CMA, by the way. No way.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Yeah. I asked them. How many do you guys have? They're like, this is our first. Is it because they did a countdown? account I don't recognize until recently? They said that they never knew they had to submit.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Oh, they're so cute. Isn't that funny? Yeah, that's on them. That's on their people. So they're holding the award, which makes plenty of sense because everybody in that group respects them. So, in front of them,
Starting point is 00:44:04 and it looks like Ray is Charlie Chase's kid. He does. It looks like Ray is Charlie Chase's child and who's wearing a suit and Charlie brought Ray with him because it's his first award. Like, Ray is in the very, very front.
Starting point is 00:44:20 He's like father and son. It does, yeah. So there's Ray. Ray, you look, handsome as crap, though, by the way. So Ray is standing there. Now, right behind Ray, like over Charlie Chase's shoulder is Amy, but part of Ray's head's blocking Amy's face. Yeah, can't really see Amy's mouth.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Oh, no. And you have a great face, and I'm sorry that all of it wasn't able to be seen. So Amy is there. Now, Scoobis Steve looks like he's going to sell you. cocaine. He does. Scuba Steve is right in the middle of crook and chase behind them. It perfectly gapped, but raised.
Starting point is 00:44:56 And Scuba Steve has the bald head with the beard. He's wearing sunglasses with a single chain over there. Like for sure, he lives in Miami, originally grew up in New Jersey, and is like the low-level Coke dealer and somehow got into this picture. That's valid. That's what Scuba Steve looks like there. And that's accurate. Next to him.
Starting point is 00:45:15 It's like the guy who they needed a seat filler. And so they're like, get in here to hold this position. And then he never left. And that's lunchbox in a hoodie. It's like they grabbed somebody just to hold this because he's not dressed for the picture. So hold the spot until the roll lunchbox gets here in the suit. And then lunchbox is in a hoodie. It does stand out.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Mike D. is smiling. Good picture. Eddie, you look great. Suit. Abby is like way to the side. Because Abby is like, I'll just get in where I fit in. I don't see more.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Oh, I see Morgan. She's on the other side of the drug dealer. Yeah. You know, I didn't recognize you. Really? Yeah, I didn't recognize you. Why? Why?
Starting point is 00:45:54 Why? Why? I don't know. I don't feel like it looks like her. Looks just like her. That's Morgan, man. No, I know it's Morgan because I saw her. But I'm saying, I'm like general.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I wouldn't have been. I haven't even seen the picture or so. And then I see kick off Kevin in there up at the top who's just like, I'm happy. I got my name put on the trophy. So I'm just going to stand up here, which is cool. Big part of the show, but isn't on the air a lot. So I think he's just like, boom, and then there's some other people in the end. So every guy has on either a jacket or a tie.
Starting point is 00:46:24 And then the seat filler guy. Is that Justin's a suit? Yeah, he won. He won. Justin has a gray hair now? Yeah, he has a kid now. I knew that. Yeah, so well, the gray hair comes with it.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Buddy? Wow, Justin the suit is standing right next to Lori Ann. That's pretty cool. Justin the suit was our guy when we moved here. Now he's in Chattanooga, like running stuff over there. It was good to see him. Wow. Look at Justin the suit.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Did Justin suit make fun of your hoodie? No. Oh, I'm surprised. Are you sure? I think he mentioned something. He did? He might have. Yeah, I think he had to be like, what's he right?
Starting point is 00:46:52 Oh, Ray, yeah. Now I see it. I'm the only one blocked. You are the only one blocked. Ray demanded he be in front. And I respect that. Because you know how you get things in life? You go get him.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Oh, dang. Good picture. I do think somebody told him to go down there, though. I don't think he said. No, he did it. Ray, what's the real situation there? You can't tell, though. It was so rushed and hurried, and there was.
Starting point is 00:47:14 There was several rows below Crook and Chase that I thought other people were going to fill in. If you got any lower, your head would be on his dong, dude. Like, you can't go another row. I just didn't think going up was an option because I am a shorter guy. You could have come up and stood right next to me. I just didn't know there was a spot there. Yeah. I mean, we would have made it.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Great job. I mean, Scoobo Steve and Lunchbox have definitely their own style. It's like Scuba is at the wrong award show. That's just being the hip-hop awards or something. But scuba Steve dressed like that the last time he went. He's consistent. Yeah, that's how I dress him probably. Not talking about how he dresses, I'm just saying in this picture, he for sure looks like a drug dealer.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. It's the sunglasses in the picture. It's the chain with the sunglasses in the picture, and it's standing right in the middle of everybody. Hallerous. The biggest smile. That's what they asked me to be. There's a window right here, stand right there. I think it's a good picture of you.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Oh, I think I appreciate it. Yeah, I think it's a good picture of you. Thank you. Well, there you go, guys. It's a good picture of me too. Yeah. Mid-laff. Looking good.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Your strings are out in your hoodie. Yeah, that's where they're supposed to be, man. Yeah. Can I just say one thing about lunchbox? Just one thing. Yeah. One thing. He dresses better at Iheart Festival in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Like, he would never wear a hoodie to Iheart Festival. He means buttons on a shirt. I mean, he dresses up way more than that. I didn't understand. He didn't know. He said this. Look, if you're worried about how you dress, if you let other people worry, if you're worried about what other people think, then that's your problem.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Right. But right now, that's your problem that you're letting it get to you. No, no, no, no. I just think it's funny that, like, Mike D's wife, I haven't seen her in six months, and she says, oh, I see you got your nicest clothes out. That's pretty funny. That's pretty funny. And that's somebody who says funny stuff. I think my wife would have probably roasted, too. But if I would live in her and said, well, your dress looks like a trash bag, how would my... But she's not insulting the quality of your shirt.
Starting point is 00:49:01 She was being funny about the fact that you were way underdressed. Okay, so what if I said, that's the dress you chose? Also, did you think you were underdress, like out of everyone in there? Not once. Did you think, like, wow, I really am. I'm under dress. Let's get an outsider perspective. Have you seen lunchbox in a hood?
Starting point is 00:49:17 I thought that was a great line, by the way. You could never tell your wife. You could never ask your wife. Is that the dress you chose for that photo? Could never say that. Isn't it different? If they tell you you're dressing, we'll say business, what's a style? I don't know how it.
Starting point is 00:49:30 It's black tie. If they say you're dressing black tie, but she's wearing an ugly black tie dress, at least she's wearing the style. No, no. What it would be, what it would, the equivalent would be, is if she showed up. showed up in like, if she showed up in sweatpants. Yes. Or something, a sweatshirt.
Starting point is 00:49:48 So I'll end on this because I think this is a valuable lesson. Again, I took the blame because apparently I didn't tell you guys to all wear suits because I would have because I think that is what I should have expressed, wear suits, wear dresses, because that is, we've been many times. That's the dress code. But I think at times, lunchbox can get upset because he's not offered other large. roles, national things, national album release things, television. And I think this is a very small indicator as to at times why people won't take you seriously. And that you don't get offered those things. Because they don't trust that you can do even the baseline thing. So why would they be able to trust that you do the other things? Hey, I dress for me. I'm not dressing for other people.
Starting point is 00:50:41 But then that's fine. And that's great. But then it's hard. You can't get up that whenever you're not offered other things because you do. And I would say my best advice would be if you want something, look like that as to what you want because then they'll at least consider you for it. I don't know what that means. That's what we just went over acting as if, like acts apart and you'll get apart. Tim, that's what we do all day. I feel like the parents are fighting and frankly it's making me a little uncomfortable. That's okay. If the parents are fighting, our whole relationship is this and we should have never got married. Wait, all of us are married? Yeah, we're all married. It's like a whole group. Yeah, it's like a weird.
Starting point is 00:51:14 weird religious thing. It's 2024. Yeah. It's all good. So when do you go back home to California? I'll be back on Sunday. Do you do the show from New Jersey? Are you on vacation now?
Starting point is 00:51:24 No, I'll do the show, what day is today? Thursday. Yeah, one more day of track. Oh, yeah, one more. Do you need to use our studio to track? No, I'm good. Thank you, though. All right.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I'll do a lot of tomorrow morning. There we go. And what's cool about that is it's easier when you're east. Because when I had to go west and I, because Mike D. and I lived over there for a month and a half when I dance with the stars, trying to do the show? Miserable. because I got to wake up a three.
Starting point is 00:51:45 It's a treat. It's a treat. And then you don't have to get dressed. You don't have to put pants on. Yeah. Do you congratulations. Ever do a show with no pants? Currently.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I used to, well, not no pants, but I did the show from North Carolina for five years. Oh, from home, yeah. While they were all in the studio. Those were the days because I was on East Coast time. Yeah. And y'all were an hour earlier and my dog would sit at my feet and I would just wear my pajamas. That was great. Who's your favorite artist to come by?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Kenny Chesney is. the guy that got me into country music and the live show. Who do you like that's super nice? You can be a fan or not, but you know when they come by, it's going to be, they're super cool. Bailey Zimmerman probably gives the best interview in country music I'd say right now. Nate Smith is another guy, just super positive energy. Yeah, super funny too, yeah. Zach Top.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I love that guy. Just look in his eyes and you know he's like a sincere dude. He hard launched his girlfriend last night. Did you see that, Morgan? Yeah, I saw them together at the after party. Did you see the picture? Yeah, he posted that one too. I didn't know her. Do you know her? No, she doesn't look like familiar of anyone that I would know. I think she's just a
Starting point is 00:52:48 And that's good and we like that. They were super cute together. You know what I did last night? Some girl, I honestly don't know her really. Can't even tell you her name right now, but I see her on Instagram so much that when I saw her down on the floor like we were at our seats and I was like, hey, good is you. And then I looked at her and I was like and she looked at me like, who are you? And I was like, oh my gosh, I just realized I don't know you. I just see you on other people's like she's must be a writer or a producer or something. But I see her. on people's stuff all the time and I was like yeah you don't know me I thought we knew each other somebody said Kevin James was there he was the king the king of queens and he like walked right by us and shook everyone's hand
Starting point is 00:53:26 and I didn't know who it was so I thought it was like their friend that I didn't know so I walked away that's pretty cool yeah he had a boot on burn one time like he broke his foot boot like a not a country music boot no like an actual like he broke something boot that's funny you didn't know it's him
Starting point is 00:53:40 no man I hate that who did you think he was with He was by himself. He's wearing a ball cap. And he just went up to our, like, Morgan. He's wearing a ball cap at a black tie affair. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:53:49 He was in a suit. He was in a suit. He was in a suit. He was in a suit. Also, he's Kevin James. He's in a suit, though. So once my wife, her and her friend,
Starting point is 00:54:00 they like recognized a former like OU basketball player. They were literally a basketball game. And her friends like, let's get a picture. And so there's a picture of them standing with his OU basketball player. And right behind them was Vince Carter. who they didn't even know. That's crazy. And the guy that had the picture taken with him, Vince Carter,
Starting point is 00:54:18 I am a very famous, basketball player, North Carolina, NBA, forever. And Kately kind of remembers the guy that they took the picture with me and like, are you sure you going to take a picture with me? Because they didn't know who Vince Carter, but much more famous person right behind him. I thought that was pretty funny. I did that with Hank Aaron. Everyone was like, oh, shaking his hand.
Starting point is 00:54:36 I shook his hand, but I didn't know who it was. And then the, as we were walking off, they're like, gosh, hammering Hank. Isn't that crazy? That was Hank Aaron. That's funny. That's crazy. Was he in a suit? No, he was not in a suit.
Starting point is 00:54:46 What? No. Hoodie? Okay. Yeah, a white hoodie. So Tim, I give your Instagram again. It's at Tim Hurley Music. Yeah, good for you.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Yeah, man. I really appreciate you having me. Keep going after it, man. That's awesome. And congratulations on everything's happening over there in L.A. And how long have you had that job? How long have been doing mornings? For five years since 2019.
Starting point is 00:55:03 You're not that tired yet. Nope. First ever gig in radio, too. I'm exhausted. Yeah. I live exhausted. Well, you've been crushing it for a long time here. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I've, crushing is not the word. The morning, I hate mornings though. Yeah, I lied through my teeth to get the job for sure. Is that one of your questions? Do you like mornings? They're like, well, yeah, he asked. He's like, oh, so you're a morning person? And I was like, absolutely. That's a good answer. I wake up, bright-eyed and bushy tails.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Absolutely, yes, my, it's one I'm the most creative and most funny. Typically, I fall asleep at the time where the show starts. Yeah, it's tough. Good to meet you. Thank you for being on with us. I know we literally had it met until a few seconds beforehand. Yeah, I really appreciate you. No, Scooby said you were here. And I was like, oh, that's all.
