#69 - Bobby Gets A Special Massage

I was my back is killing me. And so I thought, man, if they can bring you food, and they can bring you like wag walkers, like I'm walk your dog, surely they have a service that since a masseuse to your house. That's why I get online. You can find it boom there they are like twenty people and you look at their pictures. It's like a dating site. You can look at them and go, I choose you to come to my house, and so let me tell the end of the story. Then I'll go back to it. So, uh,

she comes to sage me. Mike dal won't come in the house because her cars parked out front. He don't want to walk in on something. Whatever that was, I don't know what you thought. But as soon as she was walking out, Mike was waiting out the front door, and that she walked out and he walked in. So but that means said it was actually a quite pleasurable

experience and not in any weird way. But they just come to your house and it's so much better than I'm not a massage guy, like in my life, probably less than ten and seven of those have probably would haven't been injured and I had to go in and had work done on a neck or a shoulder or something. Uh, so I'm not massagey. I don't relax by getting a massage.

And it's always weird to be to go into a massage place because you go in and it's in youa or it's can say what do and like, oh, this room is weird and you have to get naked in the room or getting your underwear, and you know that there may be a camera somewhere in the room. I know my aunt was for sure camera, so there wasn't

even that question. And so I picked the person. But the person I picked, I get an email that goes, oh, I have a sore throat, I can't come over m And I was like, that's quite descriptive why you can't come over. And so I mean you could have just said, hey, not available, but I was like, no, I have a sore throat, you can't can't come over. I was like, I'm not gonna fire you. So they recommended somebody else and she came over to come there six pm. I

was like, cool. And so she shows up and the best thing is I have to listen to stupid music that you walk into and it's like the water. It's like annoying, like waterfall splashes and like birds and then like inya. And so I got to play my own music, which was awesome. And so you know, I played my music from my computer, so for the first time, I got a massage to what I wanted to listen to. And so I have this whole play list. I'm like,

it's called like sleep Z's. Yeah. So I got to play like Casey Musgraves and I played better than Ezra. But I gotta tell you, whenever this came on and got a little romantic when your legs don't look like they used to because she was rubbing my palm right at the time when it was on, like with her palm and that was okayright, like just for a second, this feels and she wasn't tiny, very strong and your eyes still smile, rubbed very hard and I'm super tired.

My body is super tight, and she would row, I'd go, did you go? He came to oppression, but she would go are you okay? And I would say, uh, yeah, I'm okay. Did she go? Didn't breathe? And now I go. And then she would rub me again if she push on a nott and she'd go are you okay? And that's my old woman voice because and now I would go, yeah, we should go, you're not breathing. And so the third time she was like I rubbed twelve year old girls

who can take more than this. And I'm like, dang, now my massius is roasting me with no one around in my living room. But it was My back feels better. I do feel weird though, for her or any of the massage therapists or I'm not for sure even the official title or if there's a different title. The higher up you go, you know, is it when when you first start with no degree, you're a rubber and then

you're massius and your massage therapists. I don't know if you move up levels as you gain more knowledge, but I think she was at that high level. And so I felt back because here she was, she was a tiny woman and she's just walking into a house and closing the door behind her, not knowing what's going to be in store. Like I didn't send her picture like that should be part of it. It It should almost be like tender where I picked her. Then she gets to look at me and goes. I feel like that's safe.

I will also go to his house and then there's a match, and then you go because who knows what she's walking into and she walks in. Luckily I'm not just creep or anything. And I'm thinking of myself. Man, anybody could do anything like they needed like a massage therapist, pimp to stand out the door, just in case something goes wrong, because you know, prostitutes to go they like in beget the travel with the pimp. The pimp goes

hotel the case something goes bad. And so I was, I feel like she need a pimp out the door. I thought I was gonna do anything, but I also got an Instagram. I was like, Hey, I'm gonna go get meet a massage and someone was like, yeah, one of those things happened to my neighborhood where the message came to the house and somebody was murdered. I was like, thank you. I was just kind of asking, you know, if it worked not when I die. So I did that and then you don't know how much it was. Yeah,

because I just put in my my back. Hasn't hurt of me so bad? Oh, it wasn't bad at all. I mean if you it's about the same if you go for a massage, it's like eighty bucks for an hour. But I have to drive there. And they came to the house and it was like money in the bank man. So it's like and you can and then you come to your house at this point, car pick yup, lady, come rub here legally? Uh. And then wag Walker for example, like, what's that? What's it doing? Is he in something? Okay?

I thought he was gonna say that something. Okay. Um, as you can tell, I have a dog and he hangs around, and wag Walker for me is awesome because they come to your house and walk a dog for you, especially for me, I'm not home when they do it. It's like Uber for dog walker, and I'm busy. I got stuff to do, just like you have stuff to do, and so sometimes it's a lifesaver. So WAG walker, you know automatically it pairs you with somebody, a certified walker

near you. Again, think Uber for dog walkers. They vet the walkers. You get quality people, listen to stuff. GPS track on your dog's walks, so you always where your dog is. Notification when dog uses the bathroom that your phone actually bark at you. If you have the sound on a photo or port card summary, you'll know when your dog is. Hey say, if you're walk details your time, your distance, your potty break or whatever. I don't think they're potty, but he was reading off some of the

stuff they do here. And then you don't have to be home. WAG will send you a free lock box and you can use that, or you can leave an alternative home um instructions so wags must have I think. So you can go to WAG and you get a free walk by texting bones to twenty five three to four bones four or just download it. Just search WAG. You'll you'll like it, trust me, I like it. Anyway, people come to your house. Um, fourth July weekend. Hello, yeah, let me do with this, uh fourth Junly weekend and

do much. But I did watch a lot of Netflix. Um. I just set around the house. I was gonna go tosson. Some stuff came up and so I really did nothing. I did nothing except go exercise. I went worked out. Um. So here's what I watched. I watched the Jimi Hendricks movie with Andre three thousand playing Jimmy Hendrick from a couple of years ago. I remember what it's called. He's the worst actor I've ever seen in a major motor picture. Uh it was. He was terrible, but the movie was

actually pretty good. Movie was a B minus. And that's with him being a d actor and he was the biggest part of the movie. What's it say? Yeah? What what always by my side? Is that what he's in? Yeah? That was that whatever? I thought that was pretty good. I don't know a lot of that stuff from the movie. It's like before he got really big. Um. Watched a

lot of documentaries. Watched one called Dying Laughing or It's a bunch of comedians talking about stories that being on the road and everybody from Jerry Seinfeldt to Kevin Hart too, people have never heard of before. I thought that was good. I watched the Glow documentary, which is the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, which they have a new show on Netflix. I thought the show was fantastic and it was scripted. And when I was really, really young, I remember Glow

being on. I was like a women's wrestling league. And so I watched the Netflix show and then I went back and watched the documentary and that's the documentary really good. And so I know, I told you to watch the TV show Glow and it was good, right, more than you thought you would. Yeah, definitely. What I like Alison Bree, I don't know anything she's been in. She was in Community and then on mad Men for a bit. Community would make sense. I never saw mad Men, but Communities

the show you would you would watch um. But I knew Kate Nash from the show and I couldn't place her the whole time. She was a British girl. She was in cycling Britannica, and so she's a she's a musical artist. Yeah, and I still throw all the time. And I was like the whole show. I didn't want to search anyone because if somebody dies and you go to IMDb, they'll say for seven episodes instead of nine the whole season. You're like, well, they die in episode seven.

I always after this before. I think they should put that part next to the characters and in white, and when you highlight it, you get to see how many episodes they were in because it's a spoiler if you go to the thing. I remember watching this A is us and it's kind of a spoiler, but it tells you when the grandpa died, basically because it was like only in certain episodes and I was like, oh man,

so I didn't go look at that. And at the end I went to want I want to look at it, and Kate Nash was in it, but I didn't know that um Mark Maren was one of the main guys here, and so it was really good. I was thought the series really good, and you did too, I like, and so Micae texting me the Glow was really good. So I said, hey, watch the documentary of Glow, which is the real thing with me like three years ago. The

documentary is crazy too. After watching that show, right, it was crazy, like I had no idea this whole thing existed before that, like, I got in wrestling in the nineties, so I kind of missed out on that. Yeah, so it's all about women wrestling and how it was a TV show. Both are really good. I mean I would have watched I doesn't matter which already watched the Man. I think you'll find them both interesting and you should watch both of them. And the documents are like an

hour and fifteen minutes, it's not like two hours. Um. I watched a documentary about Whole Cogan suing Gawker. I saw that on Netflix. I knew it, right, I think, so. Yeah, it's about how super rich people can use their money to influence and how this guy was financing all the Fulgan's campaign or his lawsuit because he was mad at Gawker for writing a story about em years ago. And it gets a little political dam which I didn't like, but I thought overall it was a really good documentary. Um.

And then I watched some more of The Keepers. That show is so dark? Have you watched that? I watched like three episodes of it. I think that's where I am. And it is so dark, dark and it's real and you're trying to figure out kind of who killed but this priest is what his deal is and it's so dark. Man, I watched some of that. I'm telling you, I do a lot. I have did nothing to sit in my room, go exercise, and that's it. And that's that's what I've been doing for the past a few days. Um, we

wrote a song. I guess Brandon Ray came over. We wrote a song, but we kind of just set around and spend an hour trying to find a word or the rhyme of styrofoam. Pretty much. That's that's that's what we did. So what have you watched anything? I did watch Exit to the Gift Shop, that's really good about Banksy. Yeah, and so in that they I think is a really good documentary by the way, and it's not really about Banksy, but it is banks He shows up in it dark

and he's not talking like this. I thought it would be all about him, but it was really cool. It's more of just about the graffiti art in general, and but a different guy, like a guy the new Banksy. But you know, now they think they know who banks He is and so the uh we find the band. I play some of their music. But what they think is because even banks he has led people on false tips and Banks he's a graffiti artist who does political graffiti,

sometimes humor, sometimes really sad things. And so this I'm talking of this in Banks. So they think now the Massive Attack that this guy who exit through the gift shop is about accidentally tip people off that Banks he is the lead singer of Massive Attack, because they were talking about places they had been and it just it coincided with the tour schedule of Massive Attack, like every way to cover your tracks and that's how you end up getting caught and maybe don't do something at every

tour stop. Maybe do a tour stop and you know, making another stop on the way the city too. But so here's some a Massive Attack. This is called Teardrop. It's really just artsy. You know, Hey, did you read the story about this did you know about it? Oh? Yeah, So his name is like Robert del Naha or something

like that. And so they think that the guy that was in that um is that is the guy because they did all the tour dates and compared them, and this guy used to be friends with the guy from Massive Attack who that movie was about, and we was talking about where they had been. It was some of the play. It was just it's a whole lot of stuff to be coincidental. So yeah, crazy, huh. But and

this guy is also a really great artist. Do you see the amiliar air heart story where in our minds and history of Milliard the plane crashed and she died because she run out of gas somewhere in the ocean. And now they found a picture and it looks like it looks like she could be in the picture. And also because she's on the far side the guy she was with, you think you see him in the picture, and you see the plane that they were in. And so what people think is they landed on this island

near Japan. It's all that it's Japanese, and they thought they were spies, and they cap they held him captive and either killed them or they died of old age. And so now according to this documentary, that's what they think happened to her, That she didn't just crash in the ocean. I mean, that kind of makes more sense that they landed to get gas Japan, they were spies because we obviously weren't lines at the time, and they just held them because that is just never finding her,

you have, but the ocean so big. The ocean is so big. Wait, it's so big. I remember once when they were doing all those pirate attacks. Remember that was happening few years ago, and they were we were like, well, why don't they just stop them? Why don't airplane just go and shoot them down? Because the body of water that they were doing it in, this wasn't even a big body of water. It was just part of that ocean, part of that. It was just that body of bottle

was the size of Texas. That's why you couldn't just go shoot them down. I mean imagine that. That's how big the body of water was that these pirates were moving around in. So it wasn't as easy just flying over and finding them that thousands of miles away. So yeah, anyway, Uh do sleep number? How far are we into this? Seventeen minutes? Uh? Let's talk about sleep number. And by the way, I do love my sleep number bed and my my numbers thirty. My voice felt a little low though,

because I've been at a massage. Does I sound there? Yeah? Like it just a little. I mean that she rucked. She was sticking her elbows in me. She was a loyal elbowie. She was a little bit of lamb beer underneath the rim, and she mean she had them deep. I don't really like the elbows. I like the hard hands. I don't like the elbows so much because it's just like stick shoving into you. She was good, but I'm not a big elbow fan. So um yeah, I do feel kind of a little bit light headed. And I

was like, drink lots of water when you're done. I don't know why I do drink a little bit of water, but I'm saying this water stufs overrated. I drink water and then I can't sleep. There always like drink water to be healthy, and so I drink a lot of water to be healthy, and then I can't sleep because I'm peeing all night. So I'm not getting sleep. So then I'm not healthy because I'm not getting the proper

amount of relaxation. And so I guess she both started bringing water like five pm, so I get thirsty after five pm? Should I just be thirsty because if I drink a pete anyway? So I have a bed, right, and so the sleep number three sixties a smart bed. Let's you choose your ideal firmness and your support on each side. Of your bed and so new responsive air technology the bed since did your every move and automatically adjusts to you. So you can say sleeping comfortably through

the night, and so we all fall asleep. For a little warmer too if you go and you lay down, your feet warmed. The sleep number three sixties smart, but you can pretty warm eats out of the bed too, definitely for both of you. Tube. My sleep number setting is thirty. My sleep I q scored the last night. I don't think I looked because I didn't. It didn't matter. I'm sure it was good. I slept good. So the sleep number three sixty bed now is the time to

get in the lowest prices of the season. You can say five seven hundred bucks on the most popular beds from sixteen, so big time to say right now? Uh any of the five hundred fifty sleep number beds nationwide stories everywhere eight hundred next bed or sleep number dot com to find one. And I'm a big sleep number fan, like I genuinely am have one about fifteen feet from here. Um, so beds are always weird, like I don't know like

one to bed stores. I do like going to sleep number store because you can land in the bed and they show you like your back in your neck on the screen above you, and so it's like real stuff. So now there you go, sleep number dot com if you want to hop into that. Um, what have you done on your days off? Mike D Like, really, what have you done? I mean, I've really done pretty much the same thing as you, watching a lot of stuff on Netflix, catching up on movies and working out old stuff.

Because I feel like, now if you watch old stuff, you're wasting your time. I feel that way sometimes. But there's like movies that I meant to go see in theaters that I never did, so I've been watching those movies are okay, But if I'm watching like The West Wing, I feel like I'm wasting my time because they're like seventy new shows that people are talking about. Or I

love documentaries so that I can get smarter. Although I would be very interested to watch The West Wing, I think I probably like that show it's old or Friday Night Lights. Never got into Friday Night Lights. I'm sure it's a fantastic show. Never met a single person that didn't like Friday Night Lights, so I know it's a

uderable show. But I feel like at this point, if I'm watching Friday Night Lights, I'm missing out on Glow or Orange is the New Black, or a new season of something Else, or one of the two documentaries that maybe they will entertain me and I can have something to talk about on the radio, so I can be up to pop culture or will make me smarter. I'm also reading a couple of books at the same time, so sometimes i'll get on It's like I'll just watch episode of Friends, but I'm like, no, if I have

thirty minutes, I'll at least give things a try. And sometimes I'll watch some comedy stuff. I'm just not big on comedy on the computer because the only special that I've watched all the way through was the Norm McDonald's special, and I thought that was fantastic on Netflix, just because I love Norm McDonald's style and he's so dry, and I'll watch that from the beginning to the end. Otherwise

I just don't. It's different to go to a theater or uh uh, you know, an arena or you know wherever you're gonna watch a comedian, because there's an atmosphere to it, there's people around you laughing. It has to be really good. In sixty minutes is almost too long unless it's just fantastic. Like I watched the Dave Chappelle one's and I think it's unfair that people like, oh, Dave Chappelle, and it was wasn't that good. What's because we've built this whole thing in our head about how

fantastic he was. But you have to understand that every single Chappelle show wasn't awesome. We just saw the best clips from the Chapelle show each week on the Internet and be like, here's Dave Chappelle doing this, and they're like, oh, that's fantastic, fantastic, and so in our heads it's like, oh, we remember are the greatest Chappelle clips. So we need all the Dave Chappelle stuff to be as good as all the best of what Dave Chapelle had for us

years ago, even his stand up stuff. He had one or two comedy specials that were amazing, but then he had a couple that were fine, some of the priest stuff and some of the you know later stuff, even before he moved to South Africa. Um, but we get that way and he comes back and we just everyone expects it to just be amazing because we only remember the best of and so knowing that, I still watched it and I was like, it's okay, it's pretty good.

I'll laughed allow, but I didn't watch it. They had to. And think about this, he had two specials at the same time. That's two hours of material. It takes people forever to call by the hour. The whole comedy thing, the whole specials are getting watered down because you have people making an hour and then throwing it up there and trying to make the new hour and throwing it

up there. Instead of back in the day, you would spend a year, a year and a half, two years really crafting that hour and then you put on special on HBO or but you would have it. Now it's like, can you somebody every six months? I mean pretty much every time I go on Netflix, seems like everybody has another special. And so now that's what it's all about.

It's more about quantity. They're still quality, but imagine if you took those two specials that they did this year, and you took the best of each of them, and you made that once. But that's what I used to be like. Now I'm beginning to be that guy. Like back when I was a kid, we had one comedy special per twelve months and that was the rule, and we went to the month shop and got a mount

with two straws with our best girl. So I watched the Chappelle ones and they were fine, that they were good, but I didn't watch them all the way through they've been I would. I watched some of Jim Gaffrigins minutes, laugh a little bit, but then I fast forward to the end he does the encore is hot pocket. I've never seen a comedian come out and do an encore. Surely people know that that's the encore right, like they're clued into that. Because I've been to a lot of

comedy shows. I've never seen a comedian come out doing encore. It's always like thank you goodbye, because nothing else to say that you've done saying stuff, and unless you're just up there riffing on things or you're making fun of the audience, there's just nothing to come back and do. It's not like you have another song ready as a man, like we can still go out and do three Little Birds. Um, yeah, I watched, So I watched like twenty minutes that fast

forward it to the end. Um. But yeah, I get on Netflix, though there's so much on that I can't even decide what to watch. Sometimes, like there's so much it's not gonna walk into my closet. Oh my man, I got nothing to wear and too many things to wear. I'm like, oh, I don't have any shoes at it right, I got a million pair of shoes. I got on Netflix, and it's like too much, Like, oh, there's only nothing that I really want to watch. It's only like seventy

three things that I want to watch. There's not that I really want to watch. There there are just too many things that I equally would just like to watch. So I can never decide. But I'm gonna start watching probably Oranges and New Black tonight. If you watch the season, you do like it. It kind of got me back. Yeah, I think that's the show that got me on Netflix to pay as a subscriber. I was thinking about this,

how did I get on Netflix the first time? And I think it was Orange as a New Black because I was like, I was hearing from Cruise, like the show is so funny, so funny, and I watched it. I I kept waiting for the funny, I was like, Where's what am I missing? What's the comedy? Like? I think the show is compelling, the care's a lot of characters there, the situations that made me go, wow, that's crazy. But I wasn't laughing, like where's the comedy? Was you

think it's funny? Like? What's funny? Like? So once I realized I wasn't supposed to be laughing at it. I was just supposed to find it interesting and find the characters compelling that I really enjoyed it, But I keep going, what are I missing? Am I stupid? But that was the show that got me on Netflix. Irom a Netflix was you get on I didn't do it, but you'd sign up, you pay your money a month back. In my day Netflix, they would mail you a DVD and you would watch it and send it back. And that's

what they would do. You had to mail back DVDs. You would get online and you put something in que and you would queue up your next three DVD's and they would send it to you and you'd watch it, but don't scratch it because they'll charge you for it. And so that was what Netflix was. I was like, I would never do that it's so stupid. They would do video games too and get on that day and you'd get Mario Kurt and so I never did that. But then I just remember borrowing someone's Netflix account and

watching Orangs of the New Black. I was like, man, I got signed up for this because there's mostly the old shows and then Orange is the New Black and a couple of new crappy But now now they've put so much other they're starting to actually cut shows now for the first time. And so yeah, you can't have the business milogees NonStop, unadult ready, just make everything and spend all the money. Eventually you have to the point up, Okay,

what's working and what's not. Although I don't believe when they say Adam Saidler movies with the biggest things on Netflix. They're like our biggest streamers ever are the Adam Sailor movies. I don't know one single person between the movies. You're the only one I've ever this admitted to me. They've seen the watch any movie. But did you like the Adam Sandler movie on Netflix? I mean, one of them wasn't terrible, the was it this ridiculous six the other

than I didn't even finish it. But I don't believe them. I think they just paid a whole lot for them. And so since they don't show their data, they say, yep, adam tailor movies, those those are the real moneymakers for us. That gets up billion streams and prove that it doesn't and so and you can't prove that it doesn't. It was like the time with Storgel Simpson. I was inviting him on the show, and so I'd invite Social Simpson on the show way before he turned into Storgil Simpson.

I thought the sound was unique. It was never like a huge fan, but I thought I liked what he was doing independently and I thought it sound was unique, and so I was like, hey, come up on the show. And he never came up. And then um I had our old sician program director Michael Bryant email him. He never came up on the air. I'd be like, hey, Stargel Simpson, you should come up on the show. And

never came up. Well then a year and a half later, two years starts screaming the radio won't play him, and I was like, yo, dude, I was like asking you come up, like I was messaging you Michael Brian will send you an email. Um I was on the air yelling hey, and he was like, prove you can't prove we lost it. If you said it, we never got it and there's no way to prove that we got it.

I'm like, well, you're right, I can't prove that you got it, so I guess you got me because it was like, yeah, dude, we didn't get the email and prove that we did. You and Sturgil One Bobby Zero, I said, but I would scream on the air time and time again that you come on the show. And I know, and everybody in Nashville hears everything. Even if you don't listen to my show, which which most people don't because most people that's a big number. Like it's

most people don't listen to my show. Some do, but enough doing the music industry that knows, that knows, somebody to know somebody. I've never once got on the air and said, hey, Jim Smith would love for you to come up on the show, and it not gotten Jim Smith within three hours, and somebody's reach back out and been like, hey, he can't, he won't. He'd love to. Whatever the case is. Um So Yeah, that just reminds me the whole start. They I can't prove Adam Sandler

is not the biggest streamer of all time. But I don't believe you, But I can't prove it. So I'm just gonna have to go with what you're saying. Yeah, I can't prove that you got my emails, Sturgil. Um, So I'm just gonna have to go with what you're saying and go Sturgill one, Adam Sandler one US zero. Um. So there's that. Um. Then there's also I guess I can mention this because we were, um, we were just

at the house and um, hold on a text. We just thought we'd hop up here real quick and catch everybody up on our brakes and my massage, which is pretty amazing. Um. And so the whole women and oh two things actually I can talk about the whole women in country thing has kind of reared its head again. Um. So Margot Price, who I like. I like her a lot.

I don't know where that well. I've had her on the show before because again I thought she was super interesting and I was like, hey, comen, and she tweeted, I don't think you should do female Friday, because we shouldn't have artists judged by their um vaginas or whatever. Uh what else do women have diaphragms over now? It's one of those woman parts, not testicals. You know the opposite of that, right, And I was like, well I don't, And she was like, we should be judged on our

music alone. I absolutely agree with that. And she was like and then people like, yeah, every every day should be female Friday every day. And I'm like, I don't think you guys understand how this works. Like here's kind of what happened, and here's what's happening, and here's what's going to happen. I just lay it out for you really easily. Here what happened was this. First of all, radio is a business, and people don't understand. I think the radio is just like play toy and everything's got

to be even. And first of all, you don't want things to be forced to be even anyway. Forced equality is basically communism. Everybody gets the same. That's not what you want. You don't want that. At times, you would like for them to be more females. Sometimes you would like there to be less, more man more. You want there to always be whatever is the best rises up and the best really inside of a business means what's gonna sell. Because radio is a business. Anything under nine two,

I believe is nonprofit. Everything over ninety two on the dial is for profit. And that used to be the rule of not be the rule anymore. Um, So what happened was a sound like Florida Georgia Line busted through like crazy and everybody loves to hate on Broke Country just because it got so big. Anything that's huge gets backlash. It doesn't matter how big you are or how amazing you are. If you get really big, some people can get your trated. You're so big and you get backlash.

I don't even just like Florida Georgia Lines music only really just like one of the people in Florida Georgia Line has nothing to do with their music. I think some of the music is actually good. And so, um what happened was Florida Georgia Line sound went got really big and I was like, whoa crew sells like ten g billion albums. So other people in business go, why I need to be smart? And I didn't make that sound.

They just made money because if I make that sound, I'll sell too, and other people every it's like I gotta make that sound. I gotta make that sound. So you have everybody racing to make this party ish male sound. Now all the labels are trying to develop these artists this sound just like this and one there's only so many spots on the radio. That's a great thing about the Internet. You don't have to listen to anything on the radio. People. I was like, you should, she'd send

me a tweet. I like, you just play this on the radio, like you're on the freaking Internet. Get on YouTube if you want to hear it so bad you're already tweeting me. Go to www dot suck my butt and play whatever song you want. But got it. And so every label is developing this sound because that's what sells. And so whenever you do that, you neglect the other things, which are we're in our art at the time, the traditional country sound. Females there are a few of them

are left out, but females and the biggest groups. So that's the one, even myself, which I'm trying to kind of redevelop the minor leagues again, So they just stopped developing the talent for the most part, except for a few artists. They were like, well, it's not working. We're trying to create this male party sound. Let's just keep going with it. So of course there's just going to be so many of that. They're all trying to fill

those spots with this. Well, there's no female talent being developed. So until someone realized what we're got a problem here. You don't just grab someone and and and go, Okay, you're on the radio now because you're a girl. Go if they have to be treated the same way everybody else was treated, bring them up, make sure they have good songs, make sure this sounds good, and they start to pop one by one. You get you already have Miranda and Carry, but they're the two that kind of

went through it all. And you get the Kelsey's is really one of the first new females to pop through. You get the Marion morris Is, you get Lauren Alayne. They just had a number one. You started. You're starting to get more and more and it starts to evolve back because they're developing the minor leagues. Again. It's like a baseball team. If you don't develop your single A,

your double A, your triple A, clubs. Eventually, your major league team, you're gonna runt of players not have anybody, And so they stopped developing females, and whenever it went to all that didn't haven't made the minor leagues. So there's somebody to pull up and go, we got another one here. And now there's this arms race trying to

get every female. So there's like a thousand females being thrown out there at once, and it's actually created quite the toxic situation among female the Nashville two where it's so competitive because it feels like the only four spots

and there are seven girls fighting for them. Um. But so it's people trying to make money with the sound because that's what's working as people are buying, and while doing that, they neglect the other sounds, the traditional sound, the female, the There are a lot of different ones, but for the sake of the argument's a female one. And now it's okay, what do you do? How do we get females back on the radio. And it's not even really a female thing, it's just a can we

get back to what's this current sound? How do we get the current sound to be the current sound? And you're starting to see it kind of even out again and go back to more of a And I hate to use the word top forty because people associopop music, but more of a top forty type where the best traditional,

the best uh progressive, like the Sam's the best. It's like six or seven of these different subgenres in country, like the top of those are making it now instead of it just being all for a Georgia Line, Chase Rice kind of songs. That makes sense. So it's basically a top forty inside of country music. And you hate to say top forty because you get these douchebags are like, we don't want top forty if it doesn't have a still guitar and some hay in my mouth that ain't country.

And those people are stupid too. I was, uh this blogger and his blog isn't even that big, but I do like it because he always has the same perspective. I disagree with him completely, but I love the fact there says has he always has the same voice. Um, And so he writes this terrible story about me. Not it wasn't written terribly, it's terrible because he wrote bad things about me. Anything bad about me terrible and so um he wrote, because I said, hey, you just stop

trying to define what country music is. There will never be a definition of what country music is. There's just not something solid about art. Ever, there's nothing solid about art. You can't He's like, that's not true. You can't. You to say you can't define country you're full crap. And here's what Dolly Parton would say in here. Yeah, that's what do we say thirty years ago. You can't define a brand of art. You can say kind of in your mind what it is, but there's not what country

music is? Is it? Does it have to have a guitar? Yes? No, um does that? There are some of the more traditional artists that are using loops and tracks and you don't even know it. Does it have to sound like it might have a guitar in it? Does it have to be a fake guitar? What are the rules? And my point was there are no rules. The people always decide in any art, music, movies, television shows. What people consume is what it is. That's who makes the rules. The consumer.

In fashion, it doesn't matter. The consumer always makes the rules. And in this format you've had people come that definitely weren't countries. Steve Tyler was my country. I was just durding out because it's freaking Stephen Tyler. I'm not gonna lie to. They're like, do you want Stephen Tyler. I was like, yep, sure do. I was. That's the lead singer Aerosmith Like not, You'm gonna lie No, it wasn't country. I didn't care. This though would be cool again, Steven

Tyler on Stephen Tyler's to the world, that's not country. Uh. And you know why with the country, because people didn't accept it is that if they would, if it would have been, that's a difference. The consumer picks everything. Also, this what country used to be very regional, the South, the southeast, even there was a different California sound, you know, even you know the rural areas. Now there's the Internet. The rural areas also have everything that the city's have everything.

So it's different. The music isn't as simple. You know. My grandma was like, you know, we had there are two guitars and got a lot gown a drum. But in New York they got big bands and that's not how it is anymore. Anybody from my note, North Dakota to New York City to baton Rouge Louisiana too, somewhere off the coast of you walk at the same thing. Www. Dot suck my butt dot com has everything on there and that's why it's influencing everyone. Well, so what a

country mean? It means whatever you want it to mean, first of all, in your mind, because you can pick what you think it is. And if you don't like what radio is doing, or what Spotify is doing with the playlists, or what YouTube is doing with country, then make your own. They're just entities that make their own and if people didn't like them, they would turn them off and it would cause them to go, well, we

need to we need to switch a little bit. If I was playing music, and here's the reason why I don't just play a ton, let me go back to my point where to go back. I get all these stupid brands. There's a reason I don't make every day female Monday, female Tuesday, female Wednesday, female Thursday because there

aren't enough songs that are known right now. At what I You It and my morning show, we only play a few songs a show, and they have to be humongous hits because we have a massive amount of people listening to the show, and so we don't play songs that people don't know unless it's me personally going, here's a new song I'm gonna take a risk on. And I don't even play it five times in a week.

They play it once or twice and just put people on it, and then I'm like, cool, remember that song, move on or come back to in a week or so. But new music people turn off the radios a general role. New music people turn off the radios anytime. There's hardly ever a song that you hear for the first time on the radio and you go, holy crap, it's a fantastic song. I must hear more of that. You hear it once, you're like, oh, second time, that's all more familiar.

Sary time, man, I think I liked the song. Sometimes it takes more than that. I mean, when's the last time you heard a song for the first time. I went, it's freaking amazing. I'll give you an example of the

first time. My body like a back road. I wented to Facebook and was like, I watched your by bash it everybody's talking about sucky it was, And I said, in the you guys you're all idiots because I don't even like the song right now, but I know I'm going to just because I look at the past of what this guy's done, and I trust that he's gonna continue doing what he's done. I look at his history.

History proves the future more times than that. I look at his history and I think what I hear sometime I'm gonna love, but I'm not gonna say I hate it because I don't know it. Nobody likes the unknown. We like the known, and so body like back through. Its biggest song of the year by far, it's crossed. It's the only song it's crossing over right now. It's the only song that crossed over the last four years. Basically,

there's not been another country's on the crossed over. I never thought it very like it sucks the same country until it is. It's that country until it is, and then it's all it's not again. But I don't do every day. There's the same reason that for example, like Breast cancer Awareness Month, I mean, shouldn't every month be breast cancer Awareness month? Shouldn't be we be aware of this awful disease every month? Yep? But do you know why you specifically pick a certain month for breastcancer so

you can put the banner up and go. Remember this. There are so many things in the world happening right now, a hundred things happening all around us at once. You need money for this, need you to listen to this, want you to go watch this show, want you to go. But if we can go, this is the one month we need you to pay attention to us. We're putting all of our effort into this one month. So you'll look at it. Maybe you'll it'll move you to react

to the rest of the year. Maybe during this month as you're learning breast cancer Awareness and you're seeing all this pink, that it moves you to do something and you donate throughout the rest of the year. Because they know if it was always Breastcancer Awareness Day and you wouldn't be awareness Day, it would just be something that's always being screamed, and it's just a constant. So there's something with female Friday. If I did it every day,

it would just be a thing. Nobody would really care. It would just be who's been playing unfamiliar music again from a female? But because I can scream and it has a cool hashtag in my life to you that that was part of my epig Friday. The alliteration. It's the same thing as anytime you know, you pick a month for something, So yeah, it makes sense. I get so irritated to people I'm not I'll take all the females like, really, am I alife? I don't care about

what's country or not country? To another person, I don't care. I give zero craps, but I do care that you have people bashing other people's opinions going you're absolutely wrong about art. You can never be wrong about art, never if I wanted to say that, and I've told the story before because again, Johnny Cash was from Arkansas, so my grandma I grew up in Arkansas, and if you're from markets all people from Arketsas are a huge deal

to you if they make it the biggest. My grandma would go watch Johnny Cash shows and people would be protesting because it was rock and roll. It wasn't country. It was rock and roll, the quintessential country music artists.

Probably ever it was considered not country. I've sat with Garth Brooks probably three or four times, and I always bring it up in a different way and I've had the luxury again to know Garth a little bit, and I always asked him about when he he was like, dude, I saw he s wearing baseball gaps some you know he wear with a cow He was like I was told I wasn't country all the time, Like this is not country. You're what you're doing is not country music. Who do we think of in the nineties is the

most country artist Garth Brooks. So it's always going to be a thing. But if you if you don't realize that it's always going to be a thing, then you're just not that smart. You never have to agree on it, but you shouldn't disagree. You never have to go m you're absolutely right on that, But it's only has a different opinion about music or fashion or what category a TV show should fall into. Is that to a drama or a comedy on Netflix? Well, I actually find it.

You shouldn't disagree, and so I get into these This guy wrote a whole blog about me, um saying there's no definition of country music, and there's not there's mine, there's yours, and neither one of them are wrong. That's it, Thank you, good night. That's truly all I got and I was gonna go on all that. Anything else you'd like to ask me about if you relax, not anymore. I think I brought it all back, that hell back.

How long has it been? Forties six minutes? We went way too long to I just kept going, Thank you very much. We'll see the next time. Episode sixty nights Over appreciate you'll be in here, believe you with massive attack, Banksy black Dog, stop that because this music bright God all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey, go back and listen to Karen Fairchild from a little big Town.
