Here's your host, Bobby, Bow, Bow, Hey, you know what we could do too is, sorry, we're coming into the post show off a conversation I'm having with Scoobah Steve. We could do the interviews on the post show. Oh, so I'm introducing in this? Well, no, I'm saying, just do them.

They just get. And people can hear me do interviews of the affiliates. Yeah, that's cool. I mean, it's not that we wouldn't put it on the regular show because it's probably not going to be interesting. Yeah. But people can hear, like, that listens to the show. Is that possible? Yeah, let me hit them up and see they can come on a little earlier.

No, no, no. We're good. We have 17 minutes here. We're going to do this for 17 minutes. We did it for 27 yesterday. We did a half hour yesterday? Really? I didn't realize that. We talked about it. All right, cool. Then we're good. Eddie, you got the links. Yeah, I have everything.

All right. One's at 1031, 1040. Well, yeah, and I'll just explain what we're going to do in a few minutes. I have two affiliates that are going to come on and interview me about Bobby Fest is happening. Tickets going on Friday. And every day after the show finishes, we do this when we can if we don't run at a time. This is not contractually part of. what we do. This is bonus that we hopefully put out and you guys like it.

Sometimes Amy's got life to go handle. Sometimes I got work to go handle. Sometimes, well, Eddie never wants to leave. But still... I'm always here. Right. We can't always do a post show. But we try to. We try to give you more content. Mike D. I've been talking about some ideas to get different stuff on this feed, too, the people are going to like. It's going to rock your world. Little Country Girl.

Our boy. That being said... That's a song, Amy. It's a song. Rock my world, Little Country Girl. I know. You know what song is a... extremely underrated. Can you pull up Hillbelly Deluxe by Brooks & Dunn? Just when it comes to

probably because this was a 2000 song but this song hits hard. I feel like when it comes to Brooks and Dunn this one doesn't really get the love it deserves. 2005 this came out. Later in Brooks and Dunn's domination. It only got to looks like number 16 on the Hot Country Songs list. Oh so it was a single?

Oh yeah. Hey, heck yeah it was. in the backwoods down in the holler Old boy's stealing like a dog on the collar Keeping that chain full tight Waiting on Saturday night Put on the smell good Put on skinner Head into town like a NASCAR winter

Cruising back and forth to the tasty freeze Everywhere you look All you see is Can't bed at the locks Slick Picker trucks Come on Yeah I don't know how much we can play without going to music jail on Facebook

or on the podcast? Like 15 seconds. That's it. Shut it down. Shut it down right there. That's good though. Hillbilly deluxe. I'm not feeling it. What? No.

Put on some skinner. Get out of the show. All right. Sorry. Just being honest. You don't even know. It's so good. Walk out now. The only thing she likes is George Strait.

That's not true. I love Brooks and Dunn. I'm going to tell them right now. You hate him. Let's see. A woman gets 10 years for sneaking a loaded gun in her body cavity. What?

Where? Amy Natasha Wilhite has been sentenced to 10 years for smuggling a pint-sized loaded revolver into Missouri's Boone County Correctional Facility. She managed to pull off

this feet despite a thorough pat search and a procedural strip search. She was being brought into the jail in another charge. According to records from police in the court, she had the very small revolver concealed within a body cavity

when she was brought in. Now either it was the butt or the gougu. It was one of the two cavities, I'm sure. of the goo-goo. But I still don't even know because a gun has such a unique shape to where I don't even know how that is possible. I think it's a lot of pre-work with the butt or the goo-goo. It's all right. Uh-huh. Somehow it was 17 days before prison guards eventually found the load of 22.

Man, you got a gun in the clink. You're in charge. Like, it ain't nobody messing with you. It's small. It's like if you were to take your finger and thumb and stretch it as far as you can, the gun's about that big. That's still very big. And she either stuck in her butt or goo-goo. Which do you think it was? Or goo goo. Oh, interesting. Like a tampon. Oh, can I say that?

I don't know. Oh, show, baby. It's after dark. Yeah. Goo-go. I'm saying goo-goo, but I'm also like, yeah, I'm at it, man. Let's go dirty. A woman lands two hole in ones in 23 minutes.

Wow. Is that true? How far were they? Her real name is Karen Visseth. I think Karen's a real name. She's been golfing for almost three decades, during which she's been able to score a grand total in her 30 years of five hole in ones. shockingly, two at the same time,

numbers four and five happened within 23 minutes of each other while playing the course at Cotto de Cazet Golf and Racket Club in California. And it's not like a 90-yard. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, under 100 yards. In the same round, she sunk 150-yard,

8th hole, and then sunk another one on the 10th hole using a 9-wood. Incidentally, as a whole-and-one worth 500 bucks at the bar and 300 bucks at the golf shop. Statistically, 167 million of doing them both.

Wow. That's crazy. That's wild. You know, Lunchbox and I were playing one time, and we had the argument of there were probably two holes. We could see the hole. We didn't see the actual hole in one, but we heard people yelling. And we look over and they're like, yeah, hole in one, hole in one. And lunchbox goes, that's amazing.

That's so cool. And I was like, but really, we didn't even see it. Like, one, we didn't see it. And you can watch TV and watch a real hole in one. And that's not even that exciting because they're really good. But he was really acting like it was like, someone's burning. This is the coolest thing in the world. And I just didn't think it was that big of a deal.

How many times you've seen that up close? No, not very... Did you see it, though? We didn't see it. We just heard the roar. But you've never even been that close to a hole in one, just to have the reaction of them, like, on the whole next to you celebrating because someone hitting a hole in one. You're like, man, that's pretty freaking cool. One time, Bones, you and I, we faked a hole in one.

We put it on TikTok. We jumped around. And people believed it. I've never had a hole in one. I've been kind of close a couple of times, like within six inches. Yeah, I got really close. One time in Austin. Remember, you and I were playing?

No, I don't remember you're almost holding one. Oh, my gosh. You kidding me? It was like this far away. I don't remember your all. I'm sorry. Onion Creek, I'll never forget it. A whole 17, I think.

Part 3. It was 140 yards. How can you forget this? Oh, that's where I grew up. Yeah. But I don't, Eddie, I don't remember you're almost hole in wine. Oh, my gosh. And for listeners, they couldn't see that you're holding up like an inch.

So you had a hole in one that was an inch away from the hole. It wasn't even an inch. It was like a half a roll and it would have gone in. How do you forget this? Because it wasn't a hole in one. Oh my gosh, that's so close. But isn't that amazing? We're going to go our whole lives and not get a hole in one.

I have friends that have had multiple that suck, too. And they've like, I have one friend that has two. He like hit a tree and one went in. It's ridiculous. Hit a tree, fell on the green, one in the hole. Someday. Eddie is cadding for me in a pro-am that I'm playing with the professional golfers. And I'm not a good golfer.

I'm fine. I mean, I'm better than these jabronies. Well, that's the thing. Pro amateur. Yeah. Right? Yeah. I do feel comfortable now with saying I've slightly elevated over you, Eddie.

I've had, I told you ever since I got COVID, my shoulders have been bothering me. Yeah, class. Good excuse. I've never heard of like weird shoulder. You never heard of COVID shoulder? I've never heard of COVID hands. Yeah, Fouchy was talking about it yesterday. He's like, everybody's suffering from COVID shoulder.

My mom said it's called long hauler. Like people that have like are still suffering certain symptoms from COVID. And mine are my shoulders, my joints are. That could be true, man. See? Yeah. That's fine. And that's when I started playing worse.

Can I say this? I tore my shoulder on dancing with the stars. It still hasn't healed. But you know what? I persevere. I fight through. Okay. Scoo sent me a message.

Are we ready? Heads up. The audio there capturing is being hell for Friday when tickets are on sale. So many to do disclaimer for push your listeners. That's all fine. We're recording it to record it. It's not live. So disclaimer, this is for Friday.

Like if anyone are listening right now, hey, tickets are on sun now, but they're not. Oh, yeah. No problem. Hey, everybody's listening right now. They're not on sale until Friday. we're going to do an interview that we played on Friday. So when I say they're on cell now, people will go, oh, is that good?

That works great. Thank you. I appreciate it. Disclaimer. You just have to say the word disclaimer. You don't have to disclaim what it is. And say it like that. For anything in life, you just go, disclaimer. And then they can't sue you. A woman surrenders a newborn at a fire station just hours after giving birth.

The department says she did the right thing. A mother gave up her newborn to St. George fire officials over the weekend just after she was born. the woman called the St. George Fire Department around 2 a.m. Sunday morning and requested that someone meet her outside the parking lot. This is a really sad story, but it's also something to know. Like, it is a real thing and it is an option. This is the baby Moses law? Yes.

I don't know if that's the official name of it, and maybe it's different in other states. I'm not sure if it's a federal law or state by state. But officials say a female communication officer arranged to meet with the mom in a well-lit area of the lot. The baby was handed to her through the window of a car. the newborn was not surrendered with any paperwork or details of family health history, but officials say that it's important info that they wish the mom would have left behind. However, they do believe that people who are unfit, they can surrender their baby no more than 60 days to any location, no questions asked.

And as sad as it is, there are people who are extremely unfit because of different circumstances that you would rather see that happen. Yeah. It's called the Safe Haven Law, also known as the Baby Moses Law. You know what's weird for me in my life is that when they ask me for my family medical history, I don't know it. I don't know it. I don't have it. They're like, so on your dad's side,

I don't know my dad. Don't know any family history about it. I know my grandfather died of cancer. I know my mom's dad, when she was eight, he died of cancer. Both sides? So both grandpas? Both, yes, both grandfather's died of cancer. My male, my paternal side,

died when he was older and my biological father, but he only had, my biological father, I mean, was 17. My mom was, you know, 15, 16. But he's a little older. My mom's dad died when she was eight. Oh, wow.

That sucks. Oh, wow, yeah. All of it sucks, but imagine that. You're eight years old and your dad dies. And so, you know, my mom died in her 40s. I was, I mean, she had me so young, but I was an adult, but she didn't have a lot of her medical history even then. Right.

Because she was out 14, 15 years old, got pregnant with me at 15. And so they'll be like, okay, let's go through your family history. I'm like, I don't know, man, I got nothing. When I went in from my stomach issues, which I'll tell you, I'm taking this stuff called like Linzette or something. What's it called? Linzest. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I see the commercials for it.

Oh, I thought Scoob was going to relate. And I was going to be like, yeah, buddy. You take it to you? I BSers for life, brach. I thought about taking because I have the same issue, too, but I was afraid of all the side effects. Let me tell you about these side effects. Speaking of rock my world, IBS and bold. What does it do?

It's like a volcano goes, but the opposite direction. Goes down instead of up. And I'm starting to finally adjust to it, but it's actually helping me significantly. Just other than about two hours a day right now, it used to be four hours. Other than about two hours a day where I'm pretty much tethered to a bathroom

or somewhere in the house close, I feel so much better because of it. I just wasn't digesting food for years. But I do am starting to feel a lot better. And then eventually it just normalizes and it's not like that. But then I have to up the dosage to double. Whoa. So I'm going to have to take the time when I can actually take the medicine.

But it's helping. It's not a commercial. I don't know what the side effects are. I don't feel them. When the commercial comes on, I do see sometimes. They're like, side effects are. I'll turn it off because I don't want to know. Yeah.

I'm like, I don't know. But living. that life right now. How long till we get this interview up? He's up. I don't know if he can hear you or see you, but... We can do the interview first. Sure. Can I see him? Yes, Mike's in the connection if you can see him.

Who am I talking with? This is Alec from Case. Alec from Case. Can you hear me now? I can hear me? I got you. Yeah, hold on one second. Don't say anything bad, Alec, because we are recording this is all going out right now. Let me see if I can see you here. He doesn't seem worried about that. Well, you never know.

Alec, we're pulling up a screen here for the old zoomer. Alec, what's up with you, man? What's your sit? What's your sitch? You live in Austin now? Yeah, he just moved here probably like six months ago. How's it going for you? From Seattle, really?

Okay. Yeah, yeah. How long did you live in Seattle? Like, just under two years. Oh, quick there too. Where'd you grow up? I mean, I've lived up in a radio family, so I grew up all over the place. A radio family, your parents were on radio?

My dad does radio, yeah. Has, for a long time, still does, yeah. Where's your dad? What's his name? Where's he at? His name's Jesse James. He's been in San Antonio, Denver, Milwaukee. Right now. He's holding it down in North Dakota, you know. So you're telling me that you watched your daddy radio and you were like, I got to do radio. Yeah, even against all the warnings of all the years of him saying, hey, don't do radio because here's a list of reasons. Still did it. Well, good for you, man. Yeah. What kind of station is he on in North Dakota?

It's a hot-e-sea station, but he did country for a very long time. Did he give you advice like, hey, son, don't do radio? Oh, every day. Yeah. Him and my mom were very against me doing radio. But here we sit, Bobby. So you're in Austin, which by the way, is home. You know, I was born in Arkansas and that's home. But Austin, man, is significant in my growth as a human being as any place I've ever been.

How do you feel about Austin? How you like in the city so far? I love it. I went to high school in San Antonio. I was a little familiar with Texas. But I mean, this is my first round in Austin. But I know that you're the guy here. I mean, is there anything like, I mean, what's the secrets, you know?

What are the secrets in Austin? What do I got to do? I don't know that because I never knew even when I was there every day. But I want to tell you something about Austin. This was the key because for those that have no idea, you know, listen to the show, you've only been a listener for a year or two years. I started radio when I was a teenager and I was in, begged to be on the air in Hot Springs, Arkansas, KLAZ.

I was like, this is what I want to do on your radio and I want to do TV. And I didn't know anybody. and struggled to graduate school. Then I went to Q100 in Little Rock and got in a lot of trouble, broke into another station. But it was so much trouble that a program director in Austin

who I'd never met said, hey, I read this story about you taking over another radio station that was messing with you. We'd like to talk to you about the night show. And I was like, well, I've never been to Austin. That's 22 years old. Just about to graduate college.

Nobody in my family had ever graduated college. Heck, then graduated high school. And I wanted to make sure. And so we talked on the phone. He was like, hey, I'd love to offer you this job in Austin to do nights. never been before. And also I'm from Arkansas

and Arkansas we got beat up by Texas all the time and I was like I want to go to where UT is like our biggest rival in life and so I packed up the car in a snow storm night we drove Courtney my best friend at the time not best man anymore

sorry but but we drove over 22 hours on a normal eight hour trip to get from Little Rock to Austin and I was like boy I'm in for a long row here and I get to Austin and everybody's like hey welcome to Austin Radio you better talk about all the local things.

You better be as granola as possible. You better talk about eating only wheat and wheat grass and all that. And I was like, but that's not normal. Like, Austin's great because of that. But it's also full of a lot of just normal folks. And I didn't feel like that they were being recognized for loving Austin and living that life. But also, we like to go to Olive Garden. And I remember we came on the air and I was like, well, we're not going to act like we're cooler than we are.

And I think that was the key to our success in Austin. Like we appreciated the very Austin things. But heck man, we went to Chili's. We had to go to Walmart. Sometimes you couldn't afford to go to the local places because they charge more. But we tried to. And it was like this mix of everyone going, nope, you know you're not a true Austinite unless you're really just all the time

talking about Matthew McConaughey's bongos. And I'm like, but that's not like you guys are dialing in on the coolest of cool. And frankly, I'm not that cool. And so that was the story. of our success was realizing we're not that cool and not trying to be cooler than we are. And, you know, obviously the lunchbox was in jail.

I got sued for a prank and it's a whole thing. But for me, that was what, that was there for 12, 13 years and heck, I didn't want to leave. And then it was, okay, what's the next step? And I was like, dang, but you know who I want to talk to are like people that are like me? And that's why I was like, okay, let's make the move. Let's go be the first ever nationally syndicated country show.

And here we are in Nashville, and Austin is still home. And it's just, that's where we are. Anyway, this is, thank you for calling. On the phone right now, we have Alec. I think you both. I will disagree with, I mean, anyone that says Chili's isn't cool is dead wrong because Chili's is awesome. Run it, buddy. That's what I'm talking about.

All right. Absolutely. We're here for a reason. You, you in your room right now, Alec? Is it bedroom? This is like my home studio office. Yeah. Do you go into the office at all anymore?

Yeah. Yeah. No. You know, I do my afternoon show on case live every day. But, you know, I got to shorten the hours that I'm in the building. Is that a rule, like only being when you have to be in? It's a suggestion. And how is it going just in Austin in general for you?

Are you finding friends yet? You've only been there a few months? Yeah. You know, you know, I am married, yep. I got a great, beautiful wife. So she keeps me company. She does travel for work a lot, though, which I think she does on purpose. But, you know, so I just kind of hanging out here.

But love in Austin. Austin's great. I see a Peloton behind you, so they're paying you well, obviously. Listen, Bobby, you know how, you know what the pay scale like is around here, you know, come on. But here's one thing, though, real quick, if I could. Oh, yeah, we have, listen, we have 10 minutes here. Listen, I can't really see it behind me. You see this big, this big, Aaron Rogers, yes.

Yes, who's going to be a Bronco probably. Sorry about that. Okay, see, this is why I'm glad. I had to bring this up because I always see wearing that super awesome vintage Green Bay Packer sweater. So I'm like, I wonder what Bobby thinks about Aaron Rogers. Like, is Aaron Rogers going somewhere else? What is the mind of Bobby Bones say?

Well, let me tell you about the sweater. ordered a bunch of old crap off the internet once. That's not what I wanted to do here. Yeah, I ordered a box and it was like, hey, we'll send you vintage sports clothes. And I was like, all right, $17, I'm in. And Eddie was over at the house and I gave him like a bunch of it. And that's just like an oversized sweater. And I even wrote about how passionate the Packer fans are.

Maybe in my first book or maybe second book, I don't know. And I admire the fan base, but I'm not really a Packers fan. I don't really have an NFL team. I guess the Titans now because I go and know the owner a little bit. But I didn't grow up with the NFL team. for me our sports was Arkansas Razorbacks football pro college it was everything to us

I listen I love Aaron Rogers I think in sports when they continue to beat in hey you're the superstar you make the rules we're paying you all the money why can he not do that so and anyone who isn't doesn't know what it's like to be a true winner in my opinion so Aaron Rogers

go wherever you want to go buddy if you only have one life you only have a few years left to play and if you're not happy you got to change it up and anyone who says that doesn't understand the nature of contracts and talent That's what I think. I could be wrong, but probably not. All right, Ale, here we go. Are you ready? I'm ready. What are we doing, by the way?

I mean, we're talking about Bobby Fest, right? Okay, I'm ready. Are we doing something where you're like, all right, on the phone? Or what exactly is that I need to get in my mental space? In the mental space? I mean, I think this is just, you know, we're just going to talk, talk back and forth. And then we'll piece it together and make it sound good. Okay, I like the true radio professional does. I'm ready. Okay. I'm ready to be interviewed. Go ahead. Oh, I see, this is weird too.

as like you're you. Yeah, pressure's on you, bro. Pressure's on you. This isn't no pressure. Come on. I'm going to do it just like you said. Like on the phone, we got Bobby Bones. For those who don't know Bobby Bones. Yes. He does the morning show here every morning on Case 101. Bobby, how you doing? Doing real good. Thank you for talking with me. I'm very excited because tickets are on sale for Bobby Fest. And when it came to, we're going to have a festival. We're going to, everything's opening back up. Obviously, the first ever show the first ever weekend was going to be in central Texas. So we're going to be in New Bromples. And, you know, so you drive down 45 minutes, 50 minutes, depending on where you are. And we're going to have, it's all day. We're going to have a side stage. There'll be some music. They'll be like

magician. They'll be like, but then in the evening, like the big payoff is the concert because it's Maddie and Tay. It's Russell Dickerson. And it is us, Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots. It is going to be an all day family fun event. So that's why we wanted to have it. That's why we're having it right here. I mean, you know, like you said, just a quick, quick drive, just south, Austin. Bobby Fest, you said it's going to be fun for the whole family. What other activities can we expect at Bobby Fest other than, of course, the great live music? Well, there'll be music. There'll also be stuff for the kids to do because we didn't want to have just a show where people feel like, well, I don't know what to do with the kids. Heck, you may be tired by the time the music comes

on and just go home. You may be having so much fun in the daytime. But, you know, we're probably like a magician. Eddie's going to do balloon animals probably. No, I'm not. But it's going to be stuff like that. Like, we'll open the gate. We'll open the gate. it's a 12 or 1, and there'll be stuff to do so it's not just a music night. And I hope everybody comes with the family. And it should, it'll be warm, but it probably won't be as, you know, sweltering in September as it would have been in July or August. Hey, tell me about food. What are we talking about? What can we expect to, uh, to munch on while we're at Bobby Fest. Alec, I, what, you got the menu? I don't know, Alex. Give me a break here.

We're trying to get people to come to a show. I'm sure it's going to be food. I'm sure they're going to be a ton of vendors out there. He's like, how many cows are, how many calories will they'll be in the... I don't know, Alex. Listen, here's what I know. I got the Peloton behind me. You know I take my health very seriously, Bobby. Tickets are on sale right now, Ticketmaster.com. The last time we played a big show like this, because Eddie and I've done some comedy stuff, but the last time we did a big outdoor show like this, we did Nutty Brown, and it set the

record for the biggest show they've ever had. We want people to make sure they get tickets, and if you don't get them today, there's a chance you may not get them at all. So it will be fun. even if you hate us, Russell Dicker's got a bunch of number ones. Maddie and Tay's got a bunch of number ones. You can leave before we come on, but I don't think you're going to want to. Do you think there's any chance at all that maybe R.D. or Maddie and Taye stick up on,

get at their own stage with you and maybe do a little collaboration? Yes. I put it in their contracts. They have to. Well, you know why mostly that happens is because unless an artist has to get on the bus and start driving because they need those hours to get to the next place, they're there anyway. You can't really leave. You can't drive a bus off in the middle of the crowd. So it's like, hey, you're here anyway. I want you come up and do a song.

So I would imagine, and our band is so good because it's Brandon Ray, who is his own solo artist as well. It's Eddie. Yeah. And then some other folks. I think Walker Burroughs is going to play with us. Amazing talent. Who was top five American Idol. So, yes, everybody should come to this.

And if you don't, you're missing out. Tickets on sale tomorrow? Wait, what day is it right now? Friday, so right now. So today. Oh, tickets on sale today. Since it's Friday, yes. This is why we do this.

Like I said, piece it together. But is he airing it during his afternoon shows? This airing in the morning. Yeah, they're on sale now. He's afternoon drive. Oh, they're on sale now. They win on sale today. Tickets are on sale right now.

Okay. Tickets are on sale right now, Alec, you know that. I did know that. Of course I did. There you go. Ticketmaster.com. Can't wait to see everybody. Alec, thank you for having me on your show.

Hey, thank you for coming on, Bobby. Maybe I can make room for you some other time. Okay. Yes. I talk to my people. Eddie, talk to him. Hey, Eddie, tell him I don't want to do a show ever again. Alex, he doesn't want to do a show ever again.

No, not now. Do it when I'm not on, so it's not awkward. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Alex. Hey, man, good to meet you in real life and to see you here on the Zoom. And thanks for putting me on the show.

I appreciate that. And the show will be a lot of fun. Like, we are, we're a lot. Obviously, you're going to come if you're not out of town for the... I would love to come. Yeah, it'd be great. I'm very excited. I'm not giving you tickets.

Still, it'd be worth your price. I'm going to be there, you know, right in line to buy the tickets for sure. Ali, good to talk to you, man. Good to get to know you a little bit. And good luck there in Austin. Who's your boss there? Well, my direct boss, Jason, to call him. Yeah, how's that going?

You know, he's great, great guy. You know, he's probably watching, listening, so I'm not going to say anything bad about him. Do you even have a word with them? What was that? You need to have a word with them? I think you're a pretty all right guy. Hey, I would love that if you could. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that would mean a lot coming from you.

Yeah. All right. I don't think so, but I got it. All right. Maybe. Alec, what's your social in case people are listening right now? Because we're live on Facebook and this is going to be on the podcast today. Yeah, absolutely. At Alec, A-L-E-K on the radio. No spaces. Also, Bobby just want to give you a big thank you. In between, before I got this job, I was working radio in Seattle. And I put together a little fundraiser for St. Jude to raise some money for the kids and had people guess what day I would get a new job.

And you tossed a couple hundred dollars in there. So I haven't had a chance to thank you since then. Did I really? You did? Yeah. What a good guy. What a good guy. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I mean, this is something I would do. Honestly, God, truth. How about me? How about you?

Wow. I mean, that's something that I would do, but I, that's, I mean, that sounds like me. It is, I try to help. My point is I try to help out all the time. I didn't realize that that was you. And now you have a job in Austin. Dang. Now here I am, yep.

What a small world, huh? One of the good ones. All right, Ale, good to talk to you, bud. Hope you have a great day. Hey, y'all too. Thank you. All right. All right, there he is.

Alec. At Alec on the radio, right? Yes, no spaces. Like a good dude. Or underscores. His dad's in radio. That's crazy. Yeah, that's cool.

And he kept, I would forbid my kids to do that. Anyway, this is going to. Sounds like he tried. This is going to be different, right? It's already different from his dad's generation. Radio now is, are you doing a podcast? All right, radio is just how you're consuming something in your ear balls. That's it.

You know, we do this show and still today, our live listening audience is significantly more than our podcast. But our podcast is millions and millions. millions. But it's slowly going... What's happening here? Oh, we're changing the logos too behind us? Yeah, like 30 seconds. Yeah, for that one.

This is San Antonio now coming up. Okay, and who am I talking to? This will be Kyle. Classic Kyle. But Bones, well, you're talking about podcasts, though. How do you deal with the fact that anyone can have a podcast? Like, so much to choose from, because literally you have a microphone. Well, anybody can get on YouTube, and there are certain YouTube stars that are better at it.

Yeah? It's just the cream rises to the top. So anybody can do it, go do it. Anybody can start to work bottom level of radio station and work their way up. Anybody can get into business, period, but there's only a few elite business people. Like, do you have what it takes? Do you have the work ethic? Do you have the skill set?

Are you developing the skill set? I think talent is very overrated, but do you have the talent? You know, I think that's third or fourth dairy. Oh, I see me back on the screen. I just put you up. But yeah, good. But it also makes people who are good at it that much better. Like it's harder to get through.

But if you do, it means you're pretty fantastic. Yeah. I see a lot of people starting podcasts and then just going like, this is so much work. Well, you know, they put out that story about there would be like 1.2 million podcasts or something. But when they really got into it, there was like 400,000 that actually did more than two or three episodes that were still happening. It's hard to come up with so much stuff to do. It's hard to come up with content to do.

But, yes, I think I think. think we have somebody on now. Yeah. Is this Kyle? Hey, Bobby. Hey, man. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Are you? So by the way, Kyle, just so you know, we are live in a couple of places right now. We're live on Facebook. They're going to watch us do this. And then this is also on the show podcast. So you're going to be a big star today, Kyle. So brace yourself for the for the flood of social media following you're about to get. And we're live in my bedroom. So love it. Hey, Kyle, where are you from originally? Originally from Eastern Pennsylvania. How did you end up in San Antonio? Yeah. There was just this great opportunity to come down to KJ97 and no expectations moving to San Antonio either.

So it has been a great experience. We loved the city. We were always from the, grew up in the Northeast. My wife's from the Northeast. I spent some time in the Southeast for a little bit, came back home and then made our way down to Texas. So what is your radio name? Kyle, Kyle Anthony. Oh, Kyle, Anthony, is your radio name. Did you, because my rate, my real last name, isn't bones. Mine was kind of forced on me when I was a teenager. And then I could never shake it. And so now I just accept it.

My real name's also out there too. I don't really hide from it. But why Kyle Anthony? Middle name. So I just kept the middle name. I used to speak to a radio name. She just go by Jojo. So when I moved back home,

I'm like, well, I got a lot of friends and family up here. I'm not going to do radio as Jojo. And then people were like, what, you know. So avoided that, change the name. and now back to first and middle. And you are in San Antonio now doing what shift?

Afternoons. Oh, cool. And how long you've been there? Going on four years already. Dang, look at you. Good job. And how's the station doing? Station's doing well.

Yeah. It's doing well. It's, you know, fierce battle down here. But we're having a lot of fun. And one of the things we love to do is just be out there in the community, especially San Antonio. I mean, you guys know how tight this area is. And it's that big city.

small town feel. So we try to be entrenched in as much as possible. You know, lunchbox worked at the Jason's deli, went to college in San Antonio. We worked at the Jason's deli. Is there a shrine? Which one was that, Jason's deli? I was Hebner and I-10. I believe it's Hebner. Can we get a, or maybe

they already have one. Do they have any sort of shrine to lunchbox there? I'm going to have to go check. I see that Jason's deli. Yeah, it's right there. Jason's deli in the colonnade. We cater and deliver. How can I help you? That's right. It's right there, man. You can see it from the highway. If you're going westbound, it's on right-hand side and it's visible from the highway, easy to get to in and out, highway access,

great. And if you go to UTSA, there is a shrine of me there. It's not a shrine, they actually cut your head off on the, it's like a bunch of students, but your head's cut off, right? Yeah, they were building a new building and they were going around campus and taking pictures of students and they took a picture of me and someone told me, I made it and I went to look and there I am, my arms, my chest, and then my head is cut off. I'm going to have to go get that picture too. Are we holding you up from anything, Kyle, by talking with you? No, not at all. What is your job at the stay?

I know your afternoon host. Do you have any other jobs there? Program director. You're the program director there. Boys, we got royalty on the phone here. We are, what's, that's what you leave. Not at all. Like I have to, I shall bow to you, our program director.

Wow. I'll say this then. I didn't need the program director. But you guys do a great job at making our show actually sound like we're on there. And we are on there. But I mean, like some stations don't give a crap and they just play us. and they're like, well, hopefully we get good ratings, but you guys do a great job at making sure that's not the case.

Even throughout the day, even like, so I thank you as the program director. That's really fantastic work you do there. Well, been a fan of, you know, your show for a long time. And, you know, back in the pop days when you were up in Austin. So what were you doing? I'm very happy to have you guys on. Before San Antonio, what were you, where were you and what was the station like? So I was up in Allentown, Pop Station.

But then in the Southeast, we launched a couple of, well, launched a few times. 40 stations. So just bouncing around from the pop world and then made that transition over to country. So. And are you married? You have kids? Married. Have a two and a half year old and a newborn. So running on fumes. So our daughter, our second daughter is just a month old now. Do you ever go up to Austin at all? Oh, we used to a lot. My wife actually worked up in Austin before our our first child. So she was, and before the pandemic, she was traveling up there. So right before, right before our first born was born for that, like, month and a half, I had to travel up to Austin with her on the weekends when she was working.

So I spent a lot of time just wandering around the city by myself. Why would you get into radio? What's the story with you? I started at 15. And it was always the magic of radio. It was always the, you know, I was listening to morning shows. I was, I love talk radio when I was younger for some weird. reason and I just always love that theater of the mind and having that connection.

And I had a radio station 10 minutes from my house. And I just on a whim when I was 13 emailed them and they emailed me back. And we kept in touch and the program director actually lived next to my aunt. So it was just this weird, all these weird coincidences coming together. And at 15, I was going up there to dub CDs into their. automation system. That was my summer job and then turned into on air and that was it. When did they pay you for the first time? How old were you? They paid me at 15. And yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, just paid me at 15 and rolled from there full time at 18. Did you ever want to be like a neurotic morning guy like myself

where you just wanted to rip your organs out when things aren't going right and waking it? Was that ever something that you wanted to do? No, Mornings was never the, it was always the first start off behind the scenes and then leading teams. That was always kind of the thing that I wanted to do, help coach and create events. And that was my, and then part of the science of it too, with music and everything else. Well, final question. I know you came to interview me, but I was always pretty excited to talk to people who kind of do the same thing I do. And you're the boss.

He's our program. He's our boss. What's crap. I met him like a couple years ago and I didn't know he was the boss. Really? Yeah, I feel bad about that. Oh, yeah. Well, I apologize. I'm sorry, Kyle. I didn't realize you were the boss. Yeah, Kyle. I didn't either talking to him at the first of this. And now I'm the big id. Okay, who, who were your radio heroes when you were listening to the radio as a young adult? Elvis.

Dr. Rand? Yeah, Elvis, Duran. Oh, Elvis Duran. Okay. The king. The king. Howard Stern. I mean, just the style of how they would connect to people. was always a big,

big thing for me. All right, there he is. You didn't say Bobby. Yeah, how old are you exactly? He's an adult man. No one should have me as their hero. I did this stuff, thing, the whole wrong clunky way.

Listen, there's not a lot of talent here. You don't listen to me. And Bobby Buns, of course. Yeah, whatever. See? All right. Kyle Anthony is on. I guess I'm not interviewing him anymore.

Okay, he's interviewing you. Kyle, I got to get in my more, like I'm on my hills being asked questions. You're getting ready to be interviewed. Yeah, okay. Okay, I'm taking it, breath. All right, I'll follow your lead. So we're just,

we're just going to roll we're just going to chat so bobby uh first actually the last time i saw you was pre-pandemic last time you're here with the raging idiots and uh congratulations thank you on everything the most important thing was obviously the engagement right everything else is secondary but uh thank you very much i'm i'm pumped and you know what you say pre-pandemic like now it's time to open it back up we're already opening up we're that's why we're having this big festival and new Bronvles, like for us to go, world's open. Let's party. So thank you for talking to me about it. Yeah, Bobby Fest is, we're super excited because, you know, the one thing about Texas, we love our live music. And you're getting back here, Bobby Fest, September 4th at Whitewater

Rampin Theater. And I love that it's a, I love that it's a full family event. Yeah. Because people need to get out. That's right. People are looking to get out. And people want to have their kids somewhere with them. In the daytime, we're going to have a side stage. We're going to have people doing fun stuff. You can come get your face painted. There'll probably be somebody doing balloons. Don't hold me to that one. I just say that sometimes.

But there's going to be other musical acts playing on the side stage. And then in the evening, when the sun goes down, there's going to be Maddie and Tay. They have a ton of songs. Russell Dickerson, a bunch of number ones. And then we close the night with Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots. Full live band show. So we want a bunch of people to come, family-friendly. We don't say any bad words in our shows either.

But it will be fun. And for us, it's the first time we ever got to do a festival and put a festival on ourselves. So how did the evolution of this start? I mean, or going from the raging idiot show to having, you know, hey, let's open it up to everyone. It started with me going, I just want to get out of the house. And how can we do something bigger than just a show?

Because with the show, we have to have, you know, there has to be an opening at a venue. There's a lot of things that have to come together with the show with touring. And it just frankly couldn't tour. So we're like, we're going to have two big festivals and where do we go first? Obviously, we're going to Texas. And it was just, how do we do this and how do I go into debt? That's basically how it was because I ain't making any money with the first ever Bobby Fest. But we just wanted to see as many people as possible.

Have a big outdoor show open it back up. And so there is not a better place to come than to come to you guys. And, you know, that's one of the best venues too for an outdoor show. And you have, especially that time of year, it's going to be, it'll be nicer. We hopefully won't be baking. We've got a lot of people who are going to be out there floating. you have a lot of people. It's always so great up in New Bromfels around that amphitheater. So tickets go on sale. Well, tickets are on sale now.

That's right. Today, Kyle, today, right now, Ticketmaster.com, get your tickets. Let me see there's any left. Okay, there's a couple left. Okay, there's a couple left. But get your tickets now before they sell out Ticketmaster.com. Search for Bobby Bones and the raging idiots. We cannot wait to see everybody in their faces again and just have a wonderful show for the whole family. So will we see any, you know, Russell Dickerson, love him, love Medi and Tay. Will we see any collaborations with Russell Dickerson, Medi and Tay, and the raging idiots? I will force it. Yes. That's a great point you bring up. I will make sure that it happens. Yeah, listen, everybody usually comes up on stage and we have a big, big old sing along anyway. So it'll be fantastic. Our band's

legit. They're a bunch of solo artists, too, who we're all getting together for the show. And I just can't wait to get out on that stage again and see everybody's faces and lots of cheering. And sometimes we do a bit. We'll probably do this at the show. where we act like they're telling us to close it down. And they're like, oh, they're telling us, we got to shut down because of, because of, the, what do they call it? The curfew. Everybody's like, no.

And I'm like, but I'll keep playing. But they're going to charge me for every minute I keep playing. And I'm like, do you want me to keep playing? They're like, yeah. And everybody gets fired up and it's a really cool. This is going to cost us millions of dollars. I don't say millions, but I'm like, it's $1,000 for every minute I go. If you want me to lose money, I'll keep playing.

And for some reason, I already cheers. And then we keep playing. But now you know the trick. And that's what we do every show. So we got to get there to see you shut the town down and go into more debt. That's right. More debt. And you keep playing.

More debt for body. Yes. But I hope you guys have come out since September, Ticketmaster.com right now. Kyle, thank you for talking with us. You do a great show. And by the way, for people to all know, Kyle runs this radio station. So kudos to Kyle is what I say. Thank you.

Thank you. Great to be able to chat with you and looking forward to September 4th. All right, Kyle. Hey, good to talk to you, dude. Same. All right, there he is. Kyle. We interviewed him.

He interviewed us. That's nice. There it is. Bye, Kyle. And there he goes. He's gone. I didn't know I met Kyle. And now I feel like an extra douche.

Me too, man. I didn't know who's the boss. I'm telling you. Huh? I didn't either. Here's what happened sometimes. I'll go into a venue late and they're like, here's 94 people.

Yeah. And I'm like, oh my God, how do I do this? I don't know how to keep, and I try as hard as I can. Didn't do a good job there, did it? Make it till you make it. Didn't do a good job there? I didn't give his charity money?

What happened? Maybe he didn't have one. Okay. That's it for, This is a long bobby cast, but it could have to do those interviews too. It's good. I think people will like this one.

Amy, anything you want to say? Hope everyone has a great day. Let me say this. Our Bear Grills episode is not the 10th now. It's the 17th. It's been moved back. You'll hear me on the show, say 17th. No.

10th. We changed it from the 17th to the 10th. Now it's back to the 17th. Basically, just watch on both days, and we got it covered. Nope, I want bigger ratings on 17th. I'll be honest with it. Well.

Yeah. The 17th is Caitlin and I on Bearer Girls. There was a mess up at one of the networks, and they started posting it. The 17th. Somebody who wrote in the little description got in trouble. Eddie said he used to do that for Time Warner. I did. I used to do that.

I used to do the on-demand descriptions of the shows and everything, and I mess up a few times. Someone's trying to sabotage? National? It was just local, like the local region, which is Austin area. What if some... What do you mean? That was a big deal, though. Hater when they were doing national and you're like...

No. Family feud. The celebrity, family feud. Because sometimes they'll go like, Celebrity Family Feud, Bobby Jones. and his friends. And I'm like, it was like that. Yes. All right. That's a wrap. Thank you, everybody in the post show. You can message me if you got this

far in it because this was longer than, this is like 40 minutes. Mm-hmm. It's long. Yeah, it's long. All right. Thank you guys. Goodbye. All right.
