They love them, transmitting, Hey, welcome to Thursday show more than Studio. All right, let's start with this one. What fictional character do you have beef with? If you had to think of one, what fictional character you have beef with? I can go first.
Who's the guy had all the rings?
Mike?
He was searching for all the rings and now the Avengers wanted to fight them? Danos, Yeah, I have beef with all the Avengers, all of them. Yeah, no, No, Thanels was trying to make a tough decision for the world. It was like, the world survives, but we have to eliminate half the population or the world dies slowly because you guys are too selfish. It's like overpopulation, overcrowding, and
all the Avengers want to do is kill them. So I have beef with the Avengers, all of them, and some of them still weren't didn't end up in the best place, like some people still died. Just in general, I be with the Avengers. That's me avoiding a spoiler, real hard. I took a hard.
Cut there, I think at this point though, but.
I think although his decision you may not agree with, it is one that you could understand.
Like not one I could make.
But you're not a leader, and I wasn't gonna say that.
Look, if that's what it takes to be a leader, you're right make very difficult decisions.
I can make some difficult decisions and set boundaries and a girl work on my mental health and stuff like that. But I just don't think I could make a tough decision like that.
It's like going, you know, having decided. Imagine the presidents having decided to go to war. Yeah, because you know people are going to die. It sucks, But it's do we go to war and possibly risk life or do we not go to war and more lives lose more lives because we're just sitting there letting it happen.
So I have beef with all the Avengers to being stupid.
My dude, Thano's just chilling, grew up hard, had to make a decision to keep Earth going, and that was.
It is that Earth. That's a different plan actually.
Think of shoot, but he's not fictional. I'm just watching it on.
But Booth in the show Manton Hut Yeah, John wikes smooth.
Yeah, I have beef with him right now.
Yeah, killed an, that's a real one, exactly forget that he's not fictional. But his character is just really getting on my nerves. And I don't know if that's what he was actually like, like he's just so full of himself.
He was a famous actor.
Yeah, I think he probably was.
That sucked, Yeah, but he sucked, did it?
And then afterwards the conversation he's having with this little guy.
That's a real person. We can get back to historical figures.
You have beef with and are you spoiling anything?
No?
No, hey, I think you.
Know by John Wilkes boot.
But see, this stuff is fictional because they had to make up conversations. He's having a tree with somebody that nobody was there, like that.
Part of it they've had to create. But that's not fictional.
He did what he did, but his amy, thank you, that's a real personal.
Person, dude, I don't have a fictional character with that.
Beef with or be happier take one of those here or okay.
Eddie Goco, that's my story, that's me.
Oh your beef is they stole your story?
Yeah, Coco stole my story.
I think I was a little Mexican kid.
Part that's my story.
Other than that, No, my Grandma raised me.
No, dude, Mexican kid plays the guitar. I'm hi, Grandma Coco, Like, that's me, dude. That's how you talk to my grandparents and everything. And then and then my parents will get so mad when I would go and run away, you know, like go to the plaza and stuff, to go see people and run. Okay, I'm making part. I'm making that part of you know, you're selling that coca.
That wasn't me, lunchbox Shack who Shack?
Who?
Exactly? Not real? Who Shack O'Neill. Yeah, that's a real persons O'Neal.
He's a plant. Like all the kindness and stuff that's not real. So when he does that's.
Not saying all the good things he does that's fictional.
So it makes him afici. Yes, I guess, but I'm gonna say Shack.
I don't think they're getting the whole question.
It doesn't matter who.
I mean, we get it. I just don't.
I'm never I can't think of any fictional care sure that I had beef with.
It's like Robin Hood.
It's like, bro, that's capitalism, but Robinhood really happened.
No, I don't know who Rob yeah, in.
That Noddingham that it's near London. He was there.
Look up Nottingham, look at that.
Look up Robin Hood, Nottingham.
Robin Hood was probably based very roughly. But even then, Robin Hood stole from the rich and give to the poor. There is no single person a historical record.
Can you look up Nottingham.
Listen and Robin Hunter and the other nineteenth century his story has discovered many different records attached to the name Robin Hood. Most scholars came to agree there was no single person in the historical record who inspired the popular stories.
What about in Nottingham. You're just reading about it the other day, you were yeah, yeah, Well why did you start doing that?
It's it's no, it's not.
True, Okay, I just when I was.
Robin Hood is a legendary heroic outlaw, originally depicted an English folklore and subsequently featured in literature, theater, in cinema. According to the legend, he was highly skilled as an archer and a swordsman. Nottingham's famous outlaw is legend.
Oh it's Robin Hood from Nottingham, Nottingham's fan. That's out law.
It's truly legend, truly legend.
Wow, that's not what you read.
Did the artifact checked this show? No?
I mean yeah, that's interesting.
You were going to fight us on that too.
I could tell because I had read I had just fired had been real?
I thought he was. I really did. I thought he was somebody that stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
He was in fiction in Nottingham.
It's so weird. I did just read that last week.
Okay, I got one, go ahead? What Nate from ted Lasso?
Which one's night?
The kid?
Wonder Kid?
What about?
What about him?
So in the first.
Season he's the kid, He's like the water boy?
Got it?
Yeah?
By him.
I'm not gonna spoil him and his actions.
Is he real?
Is he real?
Yeah? You should dedicate yourself to him being real. You read it on the inter.
Vieah, yeah, he's real from Nottingham.
Shut up out, I really did.
All right, we're good, We're good.
Let's open up the mailbag slid on the air.
Did something we call Bobby's mail that?
Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones.
I found out through the grape vine that my sister's boyfriend maybe planning to pop the question. The problem is his proposal plan sounds like a disaster and it's not her style. I one hundred percent no, She's gonna be disappointed, might even get upset if he corners her with this horrible idea of a proposal. Should I tell her and risk ruining the surprise? Or should I say something to him or just keep quiet? Is it ever okay to interfere like this? Signed sister to the rescue. So initially
the thought is, let them be leave it alone. The only time you would never not leave it alone, if is somebody super super close to you, the only time you would ever even consider not leaving it alone. We always say stay out of the chili, unless it's somebody's super close to you.
Then you just have to evaluate.
And I'm not evaluating that she should jump in, but because it is a sister and it's so closely known, I think it deserves at least. HM.
Should we make sure that this is not a bad experience?
What?
No, talk to the sister?
No, talk to him?
Oh yeah, that's what I mean. That's what I mean.
Don't ruin it.
Yeah, yeah, don't talk to the sister.
You can't change sides.
No, No, I'm saying, let the guy do his thing. No, no, I'm saying, don't tell his sister because you were ruined.
Don't tell the sister or moving now, I don't do that.
I know that you're doing it for the love of your sister, so but you don't need to tell her because you wanted to still experience a surprise.
Tell the guy.
Now you heard it the grape vine, unless that great vine is you digging into somebody's phone and finding out how you shouldn't. You can always blame what you heard on somebody else. So if you really feel like you need to get involved, and if it's so bad, I think it's okay as long as your sister doesn't find out.
You can go to mister gray Vine and be like, hey, I don't know if it's true, but you're gonna propose and doesn't have to be like so negative at first, like I know they shouldn't have said, but they did, like what's what's the plan? Let him tell you, like, oh, and it's gonna be awkward because he's not gonna like the fact that you're gonna go. I don't think she would like that. However, sometimes the uncomfortability pays dividends later, so you could say listen, I know you're doing your thing.
That's super awesome.
She hates mayonnaise, so the fact that you're gonna a proposing to pull a mayonnaise it sounds terrible. It could be, and that's not gonna be it probably, But I think you could do that to the to him, make it better all around, without being somebody who's being intrusive for the sake of it, because you're not. You're doing it for the love of somebody else. And at least if
you're wrong, you were wrong with great intentions. So my if it's so bad, I think you can go to him unless you found out in a way that you don't want to be known.
You found out, So that's what I say.
You don't.
No, man, it's a proposal. It's their proposal, even if it's bad.
Even if it's like, oh my gosh, it's a story to tell for the rest of their life.
Oh my god, his proposal was so bad.
He did this, Like, let it happen. This is their life, not yours.
Well, it is their sister.
Yeah, she's not getting.
Married, don't press it. But you can still be like, hey, this would be.
Really get out of there, Chili.
I mean, you should just be happy your sister found a dude that wants to get down on one knee and propose and spend the rest of his life with her. And maybe it is special to them, maybe they did something at that place, or they have an inside joke that you don't know about, So none of your business. Leave it alone. Let him do his engagement. He is putting thought into it, and that's all she should care about.
Sister kick man, I'm with him.
I would think if it were a close syster or any sort of inside joke, I think his sister knows as well. As Like when I was going to because my wife did not know us proposing, I needed a bit of h somebody to come in and help me, and I would call Amy, like Amy, look at the string, da da da. I think sometimes you.
Just basically you had the foresight to seek out help.
This guy doesn't like he is.
Sometimes, Hey, you don't know him. Okay, you guys don't even don't mind them. So those two say, leave it completely alone. Leave it Amy, and I say that if you feel like you need to because it could be so bad, do not go to her and then know we let her find out because this is about her being surprised. But you can let him know, right, Gosh, I want an update on all this. I want up half day never email me. All right, that's the mailbag. Thank you.
We got your red on their Now find the clothes Bobby failed back?
Yeah, on the Bobby Bones Show.
Now, Chase you look Chase? You looked like me if I were like taller and better looking and had been in the deer stand about four more years, like totally and younger. But doesn't he kind of look like like his face look like me with the glasses?
Yeah, he looks like you? Like you all could be brothers?
Yeah, yeah, like I have. I do have a half brother. Looks you like him? Really?
And your nose is a little similar.
Yeah?
Oh my dad?
Where did where did you grow up?
I crew right here in Nashville, Okay?
And could I be hell to you?
Twenty six?
So your parents ever go to Arkansas?
All I could I couldn't be.
Probably there your mom in particular.
I could be a music that would be too young. I'd have to be like seventeen to be his dad. I guess that could happen. My biological father had me when I was seventeen. It's a weird conversation, Chase. Good to see it, but see too. Yeah, how tall are you?
I am six too, but with my lift kid on probably six ' five.
So those are his boots.
Yeah yeah, he came in. We were doing the show and he came in through the guest stoor, which we can see, and he throw threw his arms up real quick.
I thought there was like a fire or something. He was just happy to be here.
Oh hell yeah, I'm glad to be here. This is so cool. It's a dream come true for real. Thank you for having me.
So you grew up in Nashville, sir?
So how most people to grow up in Nashville have either family that's in the music business because the business is here, or they don't want anything to do with music.
What's what's your version of that story?
All right, throw a leg up for this one. So I come from a musical family. So my mom and my dad kind of like, you know, did the whole music thing.
What does that mean?
Did the music thing?
Dad played Printer's Alley for a few years. My mom did like Broadway style shows. Patsy Khan impersonations. She's a hell of a singer too, and uh so yeah, and my grandparents, like I grew up in church, playing in church and stuff. I actually played drums before I ever like become an artist. So but once I, you know, started diving into that, I kind of found my own own lane. I thought that like I thought every town. I thought every state had a Nashville, like every state
had a Broadway. And growing up here, you know, you don't realize what you got at your fingertips. So I was grateful to be here man. And I know a lot of people weren't.
What were you like in high school? What were you the music kid? When did when did it start to be.
Musical for you?
I was a dork. I was a dork in high school. I had the glasses. I was probably wearing skinny jeans that were way too tight for me. And uh, why do you wear glasses because I'm blinds but do you?
But but so I can't wear contacts as my right eye doesn't work, so it wouldn't do anything for me.
Yeah, so I tried. I tried. It's actually a funny story.
The other like, probably three weeks ago, I got this crazy hair because I had to go get some some more glasses. I like to buy like multiple, so in case I break one, you know, I got an extra payer. Well they were like, you know what you do, like try contacts for free? Well, last time I tried contacts, I was like eleven and I couldn't get one out of my eye, and I like freaked out because I
didn't want anybody touching my eye. Yeah, basically I just had the same thing happened, but I was twenty six this time.
Wait, so you did it?
You tried it again?
Heal?
Yeah, And I was on the bus we were headed to a show.
I made to pull the whole bus over to try to get these contacts out of my eyes. But we finally got them, and uh yeah, I felt like I felt like my face was bleeding with but no contacts. Man, I'm keeping these bifocals on.
So Chase is playing our iHeart Country Festival in Austin on May fourth, playing the Daytime stage, which is a big deal. Tickets are on selling now at ticketmaster dot com.
And then are you going out with Luke? Are you going out with Jason?
Both?
Yeah?
Both? Yeah and first and we.
Yeah, okay, all right, yeah, so you're so you're doing shows with both those guys.
Yeah, yeah, I'm really excited.
Did you get on those tours? Do you know those guys?
Man?
I've actually so I met.
I actually met Jason the same night I met you at the ACM, like after party, which I know was brief, so I don't know if you remember it, but but yeah, and I think we were all probably drinking.
A little bit too. You went to an after party. It was like the thing at the ACM.
I had to walk through.
What he's saying is I walked through an after party so I could get out and go to bed.
That sounds yeah, he was getting bugged. That was one of those people.
No, No, I wasn't bug but I worked, you know. It was Garth and Dolly and then I was backstage doing all the stuff. But to get out you had to walk through the people. And so that was my after party walking through.
He wasn't partying at the after party, No, No.
I was walking. Yeah, for like thirty seconds, I was walking.
So I'm just curious because we Lunchbox had you and interviewed you. You had talked about the jobs that you had had prior to doing music full time, when you were working on cars or you're a mechanic. Were you also doing music like in the evenings and on weekends or did you just flip over at some point?
It actually started with like really horrible covers, like you know, like just everybody, how do you name it? But yeah, when I started working, my job was I was an ATV mechanic, So my boss was really cool. It kind of like helped me like loan me money and let me work it off against my my paychecks, you know. And uh so while you were doing music, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And uh so I've been doing it now probably full time for like three years.
So doing you're still you're still music though.
Yeah, but full time music. So I was still doing my job three years ago and doing the music thing, so really just working enough to barely survive off Ramen noodles and pay my rent my bedroom.
I was written and put the rest into music.
What happened?
What was a moment or what was the event that allowed you to quit doing music and actually go I'm not music? What allowed you to actually quit being a mechanic and go I'm just gonna focus on music because that's a big deal.
Yeah, yeah, So I I wasn't like a big believer in like social media and like finding your career. I kind of like again, growing up in a musical family, it was always you know, gorilla marketing. You had to go out here to sell the tapes and the CDs, and you know, that's kind of like what I was raised to think. But so I don't really believe in
the social media thing for the longest time. And I posted a video and because my manager told me, he's like, look, man, dude, like you gotta you gotta post something on TikTok, Like everybody's blowing up on TikTok. And I did it. I went to work and I came back home and had like seven hundred and fifty thousand views, most views I've ever seen on anything I've liked. That just yeah, boom over and over like overnight, and uh, all my friends are calling me like the next day, like dude, you're
going viral. Oh my god, like you know, don't forget about us, And I'm like, yeah, whatever, it's like one video, it's gonna go. For the song it was County Line and wrote that song like sitting in my bedroom by myself, wrote by myself, and uh, about a real situation A girl I fell in love with it was a bartender outside of Nashville, and uh, shout out to her for the inspiration. It's it's my first platinum record now, so that's that's cool. We got a plaque to look at that.
And does she know that she inspired that song? Oh yeah, oh yeah, did you want it? Did you want too many Easter eggs? Yeah? It's yeah, not even not even hitting there, just out there in purple and yellow easter egg.
Yeah, exactly, yeah, purple yellow, some camouflage.
But so when that blows up, do you go, Okay, we got to we gotta be precious about doing the second one, or are you just like screw it. I'm going in and if some hit and some don't.
Whatever. Yeah.
Well, I mean I'd say I had a lot of songs stacked up because I couldn't really afford the production like in the studio. And when I partnered with my manager, he like really helped me, you know, kind of get the budget together and we started putting out more songs.
When that blew up, it should like showed that people were more interested, and you know, we started growing an actual fan base rather than just around town fan base, and so that changed a lot, and man to see like to see the flip the transition of like people that became Diehard fans too because of that song. They definitely translated into like the next songs too, So it was really cool. I feel like we built a fan base early on that was like die hard.
How did you.
Make enough money to support yourself if you're quitting your full time job to do music, Because there are just a few videos from TikTok that have hit.
Well, that's what's cool, because the songs, the video views on TikTok translated into real streams. I feel like the people followed through and which is something that seems really hard to kind of acquire, you know, like there's a lot I feel like it's easy to make a video go viral, but to make a song go viral is really seems like a tough thing to do.
And for some.
Reason, I hit it out of the park the first time and I don't even you know, play baseball, So it's crazy.
You know, It's interesting to me just kind of the different skills that you have because again, you had to like have a real job and until you were able to do music, which again it's risky to quit a real job to pursue something in any art, because there's nothing in art that's for sure, Right, Yeah, you're creating
and just hoping that that it stays up. When did you first get like a look from because you haven't yet a manager, but like a label or or another artists that reached out and they were like, dude, that's legit, Like when did that happen?
Yeah? So there's an artist by the name of Ryan Upchurch.
He's a local Nashville native and like badass country music like cut your rap artists, and him and my manager partnered and started a label and like signed me, and that's kind of where the budget came from to build everything. Did a few shows with him, finished my contract with Holler Boy Records, which was that establishment, and then moved over to Warner So now I have a JV at Warner and so like that was even more songs getting released and then came with radio play and everything else too.
So has it just been wild?
Like you can't kind of believe it's all happened, But at the same time, you can believe because you put it in the work. It still it all just came from you, not even wanting to post a video.
Yeah, it's it is gnarly.
I mean the my manager I'm telling you about is literally that big dude standing right there inside that window, and we call him Snap. Everybody knows him as Lloyd, but Big Snap. And I mean he's been with me since day one. He's known me since I was fifteen sixteen running around in a jeep with no tags in Nashville and you know, trying to show him demos.
That I've written that were just really bad.
But eventually we figured it out and we're getting somewhere.
So if your bus broke down, could you fix it?
Oh I've done that?
Yeah, oh yeah, basically fix it himself because he's yeah like.
Oh hell yeah, yeah, I got a video.
I could probably find it if you wanted me to show you I was up underneath. So we bought I
bought my first bus. I believe like ownership is the only ship, right, so at least a bus for a long time, and I was like, this just doesn't make sense financially to me for how much we tour, and so I bought a bus and the first run that we took it out on of we made I think we went to like New York, and then we like made it all the way up there, did three shows on the way all the way up, and I was like, Lord, if we make it all the way to New York with no issues, I'll be fine. If we have issues
on the way back, fine, you know that's fine. I think it was like four to like last year, and so you know it comes with four twenty and so we had just sparked up in the back of the bus.
The next thing I know, there was problems happening.
So I'm underneath the bus trying to figure that out, and like three o'clock in the morning off of exit ramp. Our air system so the bus has like a self leveling air system, and it has like a little like a little bubble like you would see like on a level when if you're building something, and the whole driver's side of the bus, the front was just like ducking, like it would not air up, and you have to be aired up to go down the road because if
you're not, then you're just riding on bump stops. And we could air it up for long enough that I could get under it, and so they aired it up on the side of the road and then cut the bus like bus off really fast. I crawled up under there before air down. So I'm under the bus while it's aired down. Like the cross members like just like like right on here and I and again we're sitting on an exit ramp, like.
Every part of this feels dangerous. By the way, Oh yeah, exit ramp. Yeah, bus reach me. I mean I was ready. I was ready to die if I had to. I was with the Lord at that point. But they cut it off. I found the air leak. I literally like popped it off, cut the piece off of the kind I don't know what kind of air hos it is. It's kind of like picks, but like popped it off, cut it off, put it back in, and it was fine until we got back to Nashville. Put some duct
tape around it. Literally like something you would see some Joe dirt.
I can do nothing like that. I don't know. I have no skill at all. That's has a parallel like none.
Well boys got poor boy ways man. We've had a lot of Chinese four wheelers and broken broken lawnmowers that.
We had to fix over the days.
So you have no Yeah, you're extremely at a level of masculinity that I know I'm.
Older than you have masculinity. Yeah, dude, that's like, thank you, that's a comp I'll take that. Tattoos and again in the gym, so I'll take that.
It feels good.
We're gonna play love You again. So I don't know you wrote this with Casey Brown Taylor Phillips. Yeah, the song's doing really well. It's I mean, it's really starting to pick up on a different like mainstream level, like a bigger audience hearing it day. So, I don't know when you write this song, were you pursuing any type of like.
We're gonna writight up, we'renna run mid, We're gon run up and ride sad. Like how did this come out?
I'd say it was It was a day where it was actually the first time me and Taylor Phillips had wrote and we walked into the room he kind of was like, had this this like melody, and we just laid it down and like wrote the whole song literally no joe, like twenty minutes and wrote it, recorded the demo right there, and mainly the demo is what became the record, and so it was just fell out. Yeah,
we basically just mixed and mastered it. Austin Sean did a little bit of tweaking on it and took it all the way to radio and that's crazy to even say, but yeah, it came out fast, and we jammed it. I mean I think we played it probably one hundred times the first day when we left with it, and just knew that, like there was something special about that.
One on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Chase Matthew wich is.
So interesting, Like I have a Bronco and it's at seventy three. Oh yeah, it's the cool body style one of the last year's.
Yeah, it won't start.
And so I gave up.
I haven't even been back to it.
I mean, does it do anything when you hit the key?
The first time it went and the second time it went like half of what.
It dides dead?
Yeah, well I don't know. I was just sitting there.
And sounds like it's trying to turn over if you come back.
No, I'm goring to die. I'm never going back to it again. It's broken forever.
Yeah, I'll buy it.
So I need you.
I need your assistance because Ray has a truck and it leaks oil and he gets messages from our building, going whoever drives the suv that has has an oil spill?
Stop? So, ray, what year's your truck?
Two thousand and five and it's a what trailblazer? Chevy trail blazer. They don't even really make them anymore. I mean they kind of went out about five years ago. I think, Yeah, you said it five? Yeah, is it a six cylinder?
Yeah? You know, it's actually four?
And I got it murdered out though you made it sound like it's anymore. He was like, no, man, it's actually four.
Yeah, tricky, I don't like that.
I don't know they put four cylinders in those. I thought it was a probably like a forty two.
You're right, supercharge is like seven cylinders, right, seven?
Oh my god, it went on.
I don't think that one exists.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I think that one.
Yeah that's uh yeah.
So when when when like his oil is leaking out of his truck?
Yeah?
What?
What probably is that? If you were just guessing but not even looking at Yeah, I.
Mean it's got some kind of orifice that it's coming out.
There's a hole somewhere.
Yeah, probably, I mean it's probably some gaskets or something who knows.
It could be valve Co or gas.
You think it's connected to like the wipers because the winchiw wipers, the actual motors haven't worked in about five years or something. Yeah, wench of wipers are brook right? Well then also with the locks on the door. So the only way I can do it, none of the locks if I put my key in it. There's no actual lock in the door.
Oh that's a pain in the wait. But is there a thing to put your key?
No?
Oh, so that whole thing that it's it's out, it's in there. But when you put it in it like you want unlock the car. So there's no way to lock my car.
Oh wow, well that you just told everyone that. That's awesome.
But I think they'll see all seven soldiers When.
Ray says his blazer is murdered out, it's just a black blazer. There's no black friends, there's no like the tires are black, but everybody's are and a black paint.
Are you still like a car? Do you saw a car?
Guy?
Do you still love cars?
Oh?
Yeah, yeah, I've got a I've got a cool collection that I've kind of acquired over the years. Most of them are like sentimental and have like a story behind them. And that's why, you know, I don't really just like go buy cars because I think they look cool. But most of the time, I like, you know, I like to build a relationship with them where they have a reason they wear a music video or vice versa, something like that.
Do you have somebody that you trust that we could send race, like you're the guy that was your boss?
Is that who it is?
But just somebody that you would trust that we could send raised truck to and they could like fix the little stuff.
Yeah, but I mean if it's just little stuff, I mean I could. I mean, even if it's an engine, I could do it. I mean I feel like that he bring it over. I'm like twenty minutes from well, you.
Let him have your truck.
Absolutely, I'm serious. I'll do it, dude.
Get those window wipers rocking before the next rainstorm comes.
My favorite thought the oil leak was because the winch.
Wipe, right, that's great, Yeah, because I had seven cylinders.
Yeah, it's so phenomenal.
So let's do that and that'd be fun. We'll make some content out of it.
Okay, does the chase have time for this?
Not really? But I'll make time.
I'll make time.
I think I think it's cool. That's cool. I mean I hate that.
It's I hate uh, I hate those trailblazers. But I'll fix it. Yeah, we can make that happen.
You could do that, and you should have them signed the back.
Yeah, for sure, you already got bumper cigres.
But I just like, like.
Wrap it, like wrap whole thing in your face, like a thousand times.
All raised face.
I just bring it back different.
You know how to wrap a car.
I've never wrapped a car, but I mean it's it's just vinyl and a gun, really, yeah, and cylinders.
And nine takes nine celders row on that gun.
Though he does, versus when you say it, it doesn't sound the same.
But yeah, Chase knows. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about.
Yeah, I don't. I'm absolutely clueless.
I know. The thing is, though you I feel like y'all grew up. Well, he said you you grew up.
He grew up with cars.
I'm not sure what his animal. I can clean an animal pretty quick, Okay, I.
Don't know if you can. I don't know what. I don't know. Everybody, all poor people will raised differently, right, learn different.
Yeah, I'm not a big hunter. I mean I've been hunting many times, but I'm not a big So.
That's what it is. He can clean an animal?
Yeah, not anymore?
He could?
Yeah?
Oh yeah, yeah, no problem, I clean you.
Okay, look wow, so Ray, when he gets time, we should actually.
Let him do this.
Yeah, and passing your side door to it doesn't close.
I'm making my my Amazon order has been it long right.
Now, Chase Matthews, here are straight talk wireless question so as your career continues to grow, like who tells it to you straight like who if it's new music, if it's hey man, maybe you shouldn't put that song.
Hey, Chase, this sucks kind of thing.
Basically like who gives you the straight talk?
Yeah, well shout out straight talk because I think I still have a straight talk phone. That person's probably like my managers. And then when they tell me it sucks, I like, I love to argue about how it doesn't suck, but yeah, I trust their opinion.
Trust their opinion.
And sometimes I'll send it to like other like my producer friends or something like a song and be like what do you think you know? And then they'll either tell me if it sucks, and then I know it really sucks.
The great thing about having somebody that you trust to tell you that something isn't great is that when they tell you that something is really good, you can trust them. Yeah, Because there's a point when you start to have success where everybody just wants to be around you or be connected to your success or a yes man, yeah and so oh everything's awesome. But it's the people that will be like, hey, I don't think this is your best work that maybe that's a value or maybe not at
that point. But you know that when they say, hey, this is good, you can trust that because also not afraid to say, hey, that's not good.
Yeah. Yeah.
You need to surround yourself with those people in your life. If everyone's telling you yes, then they're lying to you.
Unless it was really good. Unless you're just or the size of your manager slash bodyguard.
Yeah, unless you're in him Timothy, you're just Himothy.
How big is that dude?
He's big?
Yeah, that's up, buddy.
Hey, he's he's I'm proud of him. Man.
That man shaved like one hundred pounds this year already at height, more than anything he'll like six or four. Yeah, Like he could lift up the bus and you just get he could probably lift the airplane up and take it to Bahamas. He just got back from Mexico like two days ago and didn't take me with him.
I'm mad, Chase, dude, it's really cool to see you know what's been happening and and how you've been growing it. But also you know, like creating a lot of this yourself, you like doing it your own way. That's really cool.
You guys.

So come out because it'll be Chase and Riley Green and Walker. Hey, he's Ashley Cooked, Chris Lane. We'll see in Austin. That'll be super cool. And I don't know, man, congratulations, thank you.

Thanks man, And if there's anybody listening, if we add this into here, I just want to say to anybody listening, believe in yourself, chase your dreams. Because I used to sit in that garage working on at VS listening to this on the radio.

So I love that. Well, he gave us a com the whole thing.
He's inspiring himself. But you guys really up when he's like I listened, it's real, No.
And I like it. Chase is reminding us to chase.
Uh this one wait through which one left arm, forearm, three words, no other side back here right there? Oh this born for this, Yeah, that's like my kind of my life story. It's a long story, but born for this is like my slogan. You know, you're we're all born for something. We're all born to chase our dreams. And and uh it's also the title track for my first full length album. And uh it's something my dad
told me. I auditioned to go to Nashville School Arts, which I've never told anybody this, but I have just never said National School Arts, but I auditioned to go to National School Arts.
Out of middle school.
And it was like, I don't know what was up with the teacher that day, but he was just having a bad day. And to be as young as I was, you know, certain words kind of hit you a little different, and he was just having a bad day. I guess he was just like, yeah, you're not good enough man,
Like you're wasting my time kind of thing. And so me and my dad sat at the Sonic and his in his beat up old Dodge caravan with no ac it just hot as hell to the start of summer, and he told me, he's like, son you're born for this, Like don't listen to what that guy has to say. And that for some reason stuck with me for so long. And it's become my slogan. It's become my saying, it's become our kind of our for lack of better words, are,
it's what we live by. And a lot of my diehard fans and like really cool supporters, they all have the born for this tattoo. And most of the time it's my handwriting and it's it's just really cool. It's Isaiah fifty four to seventeen. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. That's kind of the backstory too, as well of what we ride with on that because Born for this, you'd have to watch the music video for Born for
this to understand. But yeah, I bought I when I got my first music check, I went and bought my dad's old car back for him. Back in twenty seventeen. He lost it in a divorce. I feel like I'm rambling. I'm sorry, we have time to cut you off, don't, okay. Yeah, So twenty seventeen was like a tough year for me in my life. And not to get like sappy. I'm not that guy. I don't want anyone feeling bad for me. But my dad went through a lot that year. I
did too. I lost my best friend a couple other things. But my dad had this car since he was nineteen years old, and it's an old sixty five plymous satellite. He brought it down to Tennessee from New Mexico. We always had dreams like fixing it up. Grew up watching automotive shows and restoration shows, and when he got his divorce, he kind of had to sell it, and I sold
it for him because he was out of town. And watching that car leave on a rollback was really emotional because we had all these dreams of fixing it up.
And so.
When my manager told me, he's like, man, you're gonna get your first music check. You know, I think it's time you can let your boss know you won't be showing up to work as often.
I bought my dad's old car back.
I went through like months of trying to track it down and I found it, and we documented the whole thing and filmed the whole thing and put it on YouTube.
In the music video for Born.
For this, there's tons of footage of like my childhood, like riding motorcycles at like the age of six, and like just being a gearhead my whole life, and like always having a musical instrument around me or close to me or in my hands, and even like me at three years old getting my first guitar, and then at the end surprise of my dad with his car, and it's just emotional.
We're fixing it up. Now it's sitting in my shop at the house.
I mean that's the headliner. I mean, that's the head closer right there. The story, it's like, oh, I'm not rambling, and we're like, please talk more.
It's awesome.
Okay, it's a great story. That's awesome story, Chase.
I'll talk to my book to youth fall out.
Well, you keep talking, I'm gonna go to that. But listen, Chase Matthew. You guys follow him. I am I am Chase Matthew. iHeart Country Fest daytime stage. I'll see you there.
It'd be awesome.
Dude, I'm rooting for you. You don't need my rooting. You're killing it by yourself. But thanks for coming in and thank you and hanging out.
Man and Ray.
Yeah, sometimes you know how this is, like oh we'll hang out, or we'll go to dinner.
Or we'll fix your car. I don't know if he's really gonna do it once we leave, but it was a fun talk, right, Sorry.
Dude, you're back in the garage, man, get yeah, No, I'm in there.
I'm in there every day of the week like that I'm at home. So I enjoy it. It's actually like my my thing to do. But I mean it like you got my word and my word all right, don't make me put a motor in that thing.
Dude, like in a week, this can be hard.
It's cut off.
I don't even know the thing. The hoods cut up. There's a big one that comes one of those engines.
Flames are coming.
Out of it.
Got a turbo LS hanging out there.
Don't even know what that means.
But it's funny about the funny reference. But I know nothing about cars.
So turbo LS.
Just one forge internals.
That's hilarious. I have no idea, but I'll look at all that.
Built turbo four hundred four hundred. That's a good ye, that's a good one.
Chase, Matthew, Chase will see Chase.
It's time for.
The good Newsready.
There's a family walking around in their southern California neighborhood. It's a husband, wife, and a two year old daughter. And they're just strolling and look on the sidewalk and some of the walls and so many graffiti swastikas all over the place. Vasca there, Swaska everywhere. So like, okay, we can't let this happen. This is our neighborhood. We
got to clean this up. So they go home and they get some sidewalk chalk and so they start drawing flowers, butterflies hearts around the swastikas, and they write love lives here really big, and they did something really cool with something that as a really disturbing message, and they made it pretty.
Yeah.
I don't think they could all the way get it off, so they just drew around and on it until somebody could.
Actually eventually the city will come and like what the power watch.
That good story? Good for them?
Yeah, that's that's that's gross. Like people that probably people who don't even know I would assume, like idiot kids who've seen it but don't really know what it means. Yeah, like don't know the real effect of it.
Otherwise, like, let's hope it someone that doesn't know the real.
Yeah, Effect's hope that's what's up. Good story, that's what it's all about.
That was telling me something good.
New season Elder versus Millennial, It's lunchbox versus Abby Sham. But first, the captain of Cringe, he says all he does is when he has a scrawny physique and being crowned prom king in school is when.

Oh Man?
I thought, hmmm, you got me because I was gonna say poker Face, but that ain't gonna be the name of the album. If that's the name of the song Parazzi poker Face, I'll go Paparazzi correct.
Always a good guess. So to guess a PHNG title if you don't know, because that is a lot of times. But it's called Abby to Steele?
Is it born this way?
No, it's the fame also a good guess.
All right, let's go over.
She's our phone screenerund producer.
She answers our phones and the ringing, and her dream is to be on stage just a singing.

Was it?
Jane Fonda?
Yeh three to two at our winner one point Champion Lunchbox. Here are the bad money habits that are hurting relationships from go banking rates.
So mostly you can identify.
If you do this if you want.
If you want, you can identify if anybody else does this in your family if you want. Okay, But you don't have to identify anything if you don't want.
So here they are the.
Top bad money habits that people have that affects relationships. Using credit cards, too much to buy things.
Oh yeah, we buy everything on credit card?
Who does?
But but the thing is too much?
Yeah?
You mean going fett your limit not paid.
If it affects the relationship, that would be I guess too much.
I don't have that issue.
Yeah, I don't know. For us.
I don't use credit cards that much. I'm a I'm a debit guy because I feel weird. Oh yeah, I feel weird owing stuff.
You don't want the points.
I don't care about the points, Dave Ramsey tells me. Don't care about the points.
Don't you guys say that?
Yeah, I know that is not an issue in our family because I'm just a big debit guy. When I was poor, I had nothing, and then when I finally started making money, I didn't use any credit because I was afraid I would have nothing again.
So what I had I wanted to have.
George Campbell, who works with Dave Ramsey, was on my podcast and I was telling him about my points and how amazing it is because I'll just I pay off my credit card, but I get all these points and I get free stuff. And he said, you are their their ideal customer. You there's cheese out and you're the rat and you're going to the cheese out of question?
Right then?
Like that?
Take that?
I mean it makes sense because if you get in a position where you can't pay it off and then it's like, well, you get used to that lifestyle.
Number two impulse shopping. Yeah, yeah, I do that a lot. Do you do that but with debit?
Okay? So it's not a problem.
No, But I look back on things and go, why did I even buy that? Yea, So it's not problematic in the relationship. The only time it's problematic is when I've got four helmets at the front door in the mail that I've ordered by doing these breaks my wife.
They get four helmets, how where they going to go? And it's not even get in the helmets.
I don't have any room for stuff anymore, but I do. I'm definitely an impulse shopper.
Did I did that at the grocery store yesterday? I went in to pick up a couple of things. Came out one hundred and fifty dollars.
That's just grocery store inflation. Unless you got a bunch of animal cracking.
No, no, I do. I went in for one thing hungry. Yes, it was right after our workouts.
You can't do that, terrible impulse shopping. Anybody have anything, Dad?
No, I don't impulse shop. I don't like to spend money.
I'm too cheap, living beyond your means.
I would love to do that, wish.
Oh so you would, but you don't.
Then I know you could. I don't, I mean I can't. I can't. Like they wouldn't give me the credit line to get a like Lambeau.
I wouldn't be back on the Lamborghini.
Yeah, things like that. I can't live like I would love to fly private, but I can't.
How about not prioritizing savings that I yes, yes, it's.
Like I live like I'm dying.
We're like why I think?
Then?
Like why I think what's gonna happen? And be ready for ten twenty years from now when you can just live life now.
But what about if you've been thinking ten years ago about today?
I know that's when I regret it.
I regret ten years ago, not right now.
I'm a good saver.
Yeah, I'm getting better.
Yeah, I'm a good saver.
Not creating a budget, I don't do that.
Well, we know our budget. What's in our bank account exactly?
You know what it's like I feel, I mean I feel that.
Like, what's the number in our account? Okay, that's our budget.
Yeah, I feel that I don't have kids, so it's hard for me to go like we have because really, my wife and I we just do. It's easy. It's two people.
We have our habits. It's not like anyone's kind of like we have school, we needed this and that. That would be different.
I'm sure Eddie's wife has it down what they're spending on, you know, certain things for the kids, groceries.
Really, what do you have to buy your kids?
Clothes?
Yeah, clues or like field for birthday, food, sports, healthcare, if you go the doctor.
Yeah, taking places, Yeah, a lot of stuff.
Pizza, Oh my gosh, every Friday about this one. Not investing?
I invest.
I?
Did invest? I invested in a palate?
Okay, no, no, no, don't don't. Don't be dumb. We're not going to use our bits here. What do you mean that the side of the show, because Lunchbox is even talking about investing into like an app we all put a little bit of money on. Does your wife ever say to you, why don't we invest something in order to have a future like four oh one K for example, You guys do not do that, but you want to retire tomorrow.
Yes, yeah, yeah, nah, she had never brought it up.
Is it because it's a sore issue. I don't know, not paying bills on time?
Not do that, and we have to do that.
Worst thing that happened happening he was auto draft. I would never do it now it's set up. But I was like, what if I don't have the money and they try to take it?
Yeah? Is that when you go under like whenever? That's when you get in trouble? Yep?
Or what if they say, oh you know what I mean, we tried to take it, but and then they charge your late fee. It's like, man, not cool at auto draft?
Do you ever get in trouble for that?
No?
But I don't like check mounts type thing.
Now in college all the time?
Not Now, did you stay within your budget, which is what's in your account? Yeah? Yeah, I thot that what's the biggest money issue that you guys have, that that you argue about the most?
Should? I say?
It doesn't even have to be a big It doesn't have to be a big fight. But what no, that's a big fight. No, No, but I'm saying it can be anything.
What would you say is the central issue relationship wise with finances.
Lunchbox, Oh, just percentage of things because things get more expensive, like groceries, and since we have separate accounts, it's like, well, you should still pay forty percent.
She's like, but that's more money because it's.
So that's I means just figuring out the percentages of everything can be difficult if you don't just keep it the same because things do get more expensive.
As that's weird.
I just need a picture how it goes for them.
So Lunchbox, say you go to the grocery store and you pick up groceries for the week. Then you get out the receipt and you ask your wife for forty.
Yeah, she transfers it.
What are you talking about?
That's what you want to say.
I have been thinking about it, but I think I should because once I say it, I believe that every husband in America listening is gonna go uh huh. And if you roll the window down, you'll probably hear every husband going uh huh. Okay, is it no Amazon? Amazon boxes outside my house? Every single time I go home? Every time I go home, both there are five Amazon boxes outside my house.
What if stuff you need?
That's never stuff we need never and I want to go into the phone and like just unsubscribe to Amazon, will delete it.
I think the thing that we and that I try to keep her from doing. Her dad her all our families staid on the same phone plan. It's hilarious. So her dad still pays their phone bill.
That's crazy.
And I begged him Lucky, like, please don't. Well, it's it's not that big of deal. She calls long distance, there's no such things, but like all their kids are still on their phone plan, and she's like, we need to put it on ours so we can pay for it. And I just keep kicking the can. I never commit to anything. I just want to see how long I keep it going. That's amazing that he can keep paying her phone bill.
That's so cool.
It's hilarious. So that would be the one.
She's like, hey, can we change it over and put it on our our Yeah, we'll get to that tomorrow. Still he's still pay for it.
What about all your spending on memorabilia? Memorabilia?
She doesn't care because one she has her own money and two I am extremely hyper careful with money because I never had it, and now that I have it, there's no chance I would overspend or even be reckless with it.
What do you mean she has her own money? Are you like lunchbox? No?
No, no, But there's never a fight of Like she came into the marriage, she was like, I had an awesome job. So she had been making money for a long time, so she brought I mean a good career bank account over where. There was never an issue of but no, we can't we have a command account. Okay, yeah, yeah, all right. I thought you were like lunchbox.
No no, no, no.
No no no no no no no.
All right, Well good luck everybody.
Yeah, thanks man.
Amy, Do you have any addition? I know you're not in a relationship now, but anything.
Yeah, I don't. I don't argue with anybody about finances.
Now you've learned them a lot first time.
Yeah.
I wasn't involved in our finances for seventeen years.
What about you, though, Amy, Like, what is there something you do that you would argue with yourself?
Well, I've gotten well now that I am in control of everything and I have information and information is power, Like I'm more empowered to save more. I finally get sometimes what was was trying to say to me? Like say more like we need so I'm not really shopping this year and have saved.
It's like a kid when they have to spend their own money on shoes, they learned the volume money exactly.
Or if you're it was what I've been earning money our entire marriage too. If you but if you're not paying attention, then you're not If you ignore it, then you can't make empowered decisions. And I was just a little bit you know, losey goosey, And now I'm empowered and it feels good, Like it feels good to know everything that's in.
Everything that's out, everything that's in.
Yeah, not yeah, I feel feel good about my Yeah, I.
Choose not to know what's in U. But in general, I think you're like that, yeah, without anything. It's like if you're like ill or sick or something, I don't not go.
To the doctor, Like how's how's our show doing? I don't care.
If I don't even tell you don't know.
It's not that I don't care, exactly.
Pile of stories.
So if someone is really really really nice to you off the bout, like you're meeting them and they're just so nice that it turns you.
Off got it.
They want their song played on the radio. Oh oh yeah, no, it's everybody. It's it's terrible. I don't trust anybody anymore.
So I don't know.
I have to remove myself from that conversation because I feel like somebody's always up to something.
Well, too nice can trigger a negative reaction and us romantically or platonically, because psychologically we're like, wait, they're being overly nice. Now I'm suspicious, right, M and so you you question the sincerity of their actions.
And if it's an older man they want their daughter or younger second wife song to be played on the radio.
Oh oh second life.
You heard what I said, and I said what I said, stand by it? Okay?
What else?
So this is just a little p s A.
A selfie with a cub.
There might be really cutey cute.
Come here.
Last week a group of women in North Carolina went viral. They were in Nashville and there were some baby cubs and they were trying to lure them to take a selfie. And now it sparked this whole thing of like, hey, don't feed the wildlife, don't try to take selfies with wildlife. Because what happened was one of the cubs ended up getting I don't know, abandoned by his other cubs, his group. Who knows where the mom is, which, speaking of the law,
may come and eat you. But then the cub was kind of left and a rescue center had to come.
In and do the cub like scratch or bite or anything.
No, just left by itself, that's perfect. No, it was like theres a cub.
It was wet, it was cold, and so now there's just you know, messages being put out of like, hey, if you're near wildlife, don't try to feed it to lure it to get a selfie because it could really mess up their situation.
But if you do, make sure they all come, not just one, right, but if they all come, guess who's coming behind them?
Mama, mama.
Yeah, and you're gonna probably not have a head animals alone. Just generally leave the animals alone.
But if you took a cub home and raised it, would it be a nice bear?
Probably not so cute. So is probably too close to that mother.
I'm sure some character traits of it, but I don't think I would ever trust it. It's too much wild bear.
After a while, nature kicks in yeah, all right.
What else.
Reba McIntyre show rebook It is coming to Netflix, which is super cool, so now you'll be able to watch that. But then something else that is going to start streaming actually tomorrow on Max is Beyonce's documentary of Sorts is about black history country music, and it seems like it could be really cool. So you've got Beyonce's show on Max and RIBA's show coming to net Flicks on May.
It's Reba's old show, Reavia. Right, yeah, yeah, I'm doing something pretty cool to ree but that I can't talk about yet. Oh that's pretty cool because he was one of the best people in the world. She's awesome, So I'll be able to tell you pretty soon. But that's all I can't say what it is. Sign a sign.
All right, thank you, Amy.
That's my file.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news, Bobby.
This guy was flying in a single engine plane kind of over the ocean, kind of on the edge of the ocean, and he had his dog with them, and they started to lose control of the plane for whatever reason. The plane starts to go down and the plane crashes into the water against single engine. So once that engine's gone, you can only really gride, yeah, for so long. And so a plane goes down a few hundred yards off shore.
Try to get as close to the shore as possible. But he grabs a dog and they swim out and they're safe, him and the dog. They swam back to shore. Yes, command the dog. Wow, it's hard to swim in the ocean too, let's be honest. But also it's hard to survive a plane crash. Let's be honest, it's a lot. And also it's hard to grab a dog and a plane crash in the ocean when you get.
Yeah, all that.
I don't want to spoil.
The story, but I just did a podcast with someone who is in country music.
They invited me on their podcast.
I don't know when it comes out, and I don't guessed on a lot of podcasts, but I thought this sounds this is interesting. I'll go do it.
They were in a plane crash. I've never heard them talk about.
The story before, really, yeah, And they weren't a plane crash. It was night time and their plane was upside down and they didn't know it because the gauge was broken and sets it's upside down you can't see the land or anything.
What the.
Yeah?
What?
I could have sat and just talked about that for an hour, but I didn't want to hijack the podcast because it wasn't my I was being their podcast. Yes.
Wow, Yeah, I always wondered that about going upside down, Like I get there, you get disoriented and you don't.
Know not time too. You can't see the ground.
Correct, you can see anything horizon.
Yeah, but doesn't like the change fall out of your pockets?
Right, I didn't know the difference now because you're going fast. It's like a roller coaster. If you're just going to the change fall out of your pocket if you're in motion, No, like if your cell phone's loose, how a fallout? But that's not story. This guy survived, the dog survived. Everybody's a winner except that piece of metal, the plant, and the insurance company that's got to buy the new plane. That's what it's all about. That was telling me something good.
