2. Jay Renshaw’s Comedic Journey

[08:15 - 15:33]

• Roots and Motivation:
  • Jay grew up in Indiana, moved to LA at 18 to pursue acting. “I was enrolled [in college], but I withdrew my enrollment the week before. A week before orientation…” [12:10]
  • Early years involved odd jobs: Starbucks, furniture showrooms, marketing.
• The Groundlings Connection:
  • Jay’s training at the prestigious improv theater, advancing through its ranks and performing weekly new material:
    • “You write and perform a new show every Sunday. It gets pretty tiring… that has prepared me... for situations like this, where suddenly there’s a very real demand for creative output.” [14:41]

3. Career Breakthroughs & Setbacks

[15:33 - 16:24]; [20:07 - 20:55]

• Curb Your Enthusiasm:
  • Jay played a juror in the series finale, but his part was largely cut:
    • “There was more to it that I was pretty heartbroken was cut. So I ended up being a little bit of a glorified extra there. But you know, I’ll take it for Curb your Enthusiasm.” [20:15]

---

4. The Creative Process Behind “Chit”

[21:17 - 26:42]

• Production Details:
  • Wig origins:
    • “It was given to me by a friend... Drew Talbert, he gave me that wig in, like, 2018, 2019... At first it wasn’t for Chit, but it became the Chit wig.” [21:28]
  • Weekly workflow:
    • “We usually write, edit, and film two episodes a week... most often we’ve worked a little bit ahead.” [22:51]
  • Casting is made easy by access to other Groundlings members:
    • “We truly have our pick of some of the most talented comedic actors in the world.” [23:41]
• Unexpected Memes & Catchphrases:
  • “Success” was a one-off line that became a viral catchphrase. [24:33]
• Setting Choices:
  • Chit’s love of mundane places like Subway/Red Lobster is intentional:
    • “It’s just part of a routine by nature. And I think Chit’s life in the office... seems so routine, but it’s the routine that he’s thrilled by.” [25:23]

---

5. Prospects and Longevity

[26:42 - 29:03]

• Jay has other project ideas, but none are ready for production yet.
• Episodes are tightly scripted but allow for improvisation, particularly for comic timing (“the awkward pauses... are all very intentional”). [27:39]
• There is no defined endpoint for the series yet. “We might have to balance what we can do online as well... But right now we’re working on, I guess, what some people might call a season one.” [29:03]

---

6. Technical Q&A with Eddie

[30:05 - 32:19]

• Filming Style:
  • Confirmed: “Yep, that’s Kyle’s phone. He has some apps to improve the production quality... but the actual act of doing it is a talent that he has really cultivated.” [30:21]
• Props:
  • The thick glasses are uncomfortable at first for Jay (“I’d be like, oh, well, I probably should have had some breaks there. But now ... I don’t notice the difference anymore.”) [31:23]
• Channel Origins:
  • Chit was posted on Jay’s own TikTok “just to get it out there. Now it might seem like a smarter plan to have it be on like a Chit show platform, but it’s on mine…” [32:19]

---

7. Inspiration and Takeaways

[33:05 - 33:41]

• Bobby congratulates Jay, emphasizing how “just making something and letting it organically be seen” proves that quality and consistency can break through the system.
  • “I think you have proven otherwise, that if it’s good, it can be found, and if it’s good and done consistently, it can blow up.” [33:05]

8. “Beefs” in Country Music: Candid, Comedic Breakdown

[36:42 - 64:18]

Bobby Bones Shares and Analyzes Notorious Beefs:

• Gavin Adcock vs. the World:
  • Laughs at the spectacle — “He’s up for a fight. Publicity is working. It’s all theatrics.” [37:10]
• Florida Georgia Line:
  • Long, entertaining saga:
    • Bobby’s infamous “Go Away Bobby Bones” billboards, later revealed as his own PR stunt.
    • On FGL: “They came at me first, and it was a gift...It was fun to me because it wasn’t personal.” [43:22]
    • BK (Brian Kelley) canceled a podcast appearance last minute, leading to on-air callouts and a joking “Fuddruckers” jab.

  • “This one’s my fault... I’m a massive fan, but I was so hypersensitive...and at the time, ratings weren’t great...” [47:28]

  • Brief tiff over cover song credits; quickly patched up. [53:08]

• Neil Patrick Harris:
  • DM’d Bobby “You suck. You didn’t deserve to win [Dancing with the Stars].”
    • “I replied back...are you for real? Is this like a joke?” [56:58]
• Dasha:
  • Cancelled interviews last minute; “I don’t like being lied to...Dasha doesn’t need me. I don’t need Dasha. The world’s fine without our union.” [59:00]
• Mojo the Radio Guy:
  • Accused Bobby of only working with St. Jude “for credit,” which infuriated Bobby due to his personal connection and the cause’s importance.
    • “All I know is this dude named Mojo...was on saying, I only work with St. Jude so I can get the credit for it...That one pissed me off.” [60:05]

Key Quote:

• “Beefs are funny… if you put any of these two humans together in the same room, they’re going to be like, yeah, we’re just playing. They’re not actually going to come to blows… It really just theatrics.” — Bobby Bones [37:10]

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome to episode 533 of the Bobbycast with Jay Renshaw. Who Jay is Chit. Jay created this character. I guess he's not the only one. He talks about his partner, but Jay is the person who plays Chit. So Chit gets all the credit. Now. Chit is somebody that I saw on TikTok and Eddie and I were sending clips back and forth and now he doesn't put a video out that doesn't get millions and millions of views. Mike, do you watch Chit?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Mike]

Stuff gets millions instantly.

[Bobby Bones]

Instantly. Here is a clip of Chit from the. Is it the Chit show? Yeah, it is called the Chit Show. Like that blank show? Is it like a play on that? Okay, here we go. Here's a clip of chit.

[Jay Renshaw]

I said, is there a black person here? Do you have a question? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Is there a black person here?

[Jay Renshaw]

Chit.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you asking that?

[Jay Renshaw]

Janice said there was one in here. Came to check.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a white person here too.

[Jay Renshaw]

I don't need one of those. Chit, please stop what you're doing. What's the big deal? I'm just trying to find the black person here.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you found her, okay? You got her today. Okay. Give me a seat. Me set my sparkling down by. Oh, here it is. Got it. Chit.

[Jay Renshaw]

Are you saying is there a black purse in here? Yeah. Yeah. Success.

[Bobby Bones]

So here he is. We talk about that and then afterward we'll get into. Because I've been watching now it's Charlie Crockett and Gavin Adcock fighting with each other. There's a lot of like, funny beefs happening right now. And. And one of the things that I get asked about most, like, what about this beef you had with this person? So I'm just gonna go down the list of people I've had beefs with and talk about how it happened and where it is now. So. Okay, here we go with the episode. Here is Jay Renshaw. Hey, Jay. Good to see you, man.

[Jay Renshaw]

Hey, good to see you too.

[Bobby Bones]

We do all. We do all day is. Yeah, yeah, all day. Like for months. It doesn't matter where we are. That's all we do. We come in and we do chit and we're like, man, going to long johns. I mean, it has consumed us in ways that I never thought I would have imagined. So first of all, congratulations. Cause you have. I have a lot of questions about, like, very granular questions about your success with this character in that. How long. Not did you have chit, but how long ago did you create the first episode and what was the expectation before you put it out?

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, the first episode was created like two and a half months ago now. And there was no expectation that it would do anything close to what it did. It was meant to be a one off. Kyle and I, the co creator of the show, Kyle Kennedy, we filmed it just kind of for fun at Groundlings, which is where we're both main company members. And the response was nice enough that we did another one. And then it snowballed from there into what has become a full time commitment, but one that we're grateful for.

[Bobby Bones]

So the first episode, at least the one that we all shared and I'm assuming is the black purse episode. Is there a black person here?

[Jay Renshaw]

Is that the first one that's actually the seventh episode.

[Bobby Bones]

No way. Wow.

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. What was the very first one?

[Jay Renshaw]

The very first one was me in the office as Chit, of course. And I was typing nonsense into Word. I was just typing, like, gibberish. And Kyle was kind of spying on me as my co worker and he said, what are you doing? And I said, working on the budget. And it was a simple first one. I threw out Subway too. Like, I wanted to go to Subway for lunch, which became a recurring joke. But, yeah, that laid the groundwork for a character who thought that he was being helpful, he was being a good employee, when really maybe that wasn't the case.

[Bobby Bones]

So was the Black Purse episode, the one that took it to a different level?

[Jay Renshaw]

Totally, totally. Yeah. We had gained some traction with the first six videos. Like, people were liking the character obviously enough that Kyle and I decided to keep making them. And then Black Purse took it to, like, the stratosphere of like, oh, okay, this is what a meme is. And we're like, okay, so that's how most people found us. And it's funny that most people think that's the first episode. There's comments on that video multiple that say the one that started it all. It's funny because it's not, but it's. For many people, it was the start of their journey with shit.

[Bobby Bones]

So was that to you guys the funniest one, or were you surprised that that's the one that people gravitated to?

[Jay Renshaw]

We thought that it was funny for sure. I remember when I saw the final cut of it, I was like, I think we did this the right way. I think we. I think we hit it just right because it's a little iffy. Of course. I mean, that's what makes it so. Or titillating is because it's a little edgy. It's right on that sort of line. But I was like, I think we. I think we got this just right. And sure enough, seemed to resonate with people. But I think the funniest for us sometimes are actually the ones that are slightly more character based. Black Purse is. Is very funny and you see plenty of Chit's character, but it's really. It's really the bit of the wordplay in that one that. That. That works so well. But some of the ones that I think we like the most are the ones that showed Chit in his truest form.

[Bobby Bones]

The one that I was super surprised by because I have questions about you specifically, too, but the one I was surprised by was you hanging from the bar and just your abs are like ripped. Like, people had to be so surprised that Chit was ripped.

[Jay Renshaw]

They were. We were hopeful that that would be the case because we wanted to play up Chit's duality. There's two sides to him and those two sides are what keep people on their toes. You never really know what he's going to do next, but there's a strange capability to what seems like his relative ineptitude. He actually is quite capable and actually excels in a lot of areas you wouldn't expect, which I think makes them exciting.

[Bobby Bones]

Talk to a lot of artists and even myself included, like, why I moved to Nashville. I'm not from Nashville, but you kind of have to move to this hub in order to have a hub and a community, a like minded community, a creative community. And so what is your story? Where did you grow up? And I'm not sure if you grew up in LA or not. And then if not, why did you move? You did live in la. You grew up in la?

[Jay Renshaw]

I did not grow up in la. No, I lived in. I grew up in Indiana.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so. So what's your la, what's your move to LA story?

[Jay Renshaw]

I moved to LA when I was 18 to pursue acting and it's about as simple as that.

[Bobby Bones]

And did you have any? Because I've. I've looked and I've seen some of the things. Mostly just on TikTok when it's like Jay Rinshaw in real life, like that's always the bottom thing and so I click it and I watch like little like appearances you had of all different levels. Did you get close to doing what you wanted to do ever, like on a massive scale and it just didn't work out? Or did you have certain things that you were like, I'm so passionate about this. I only want to write and create my own thing until I get it.

[Jay Renshaw]

I mean, I don't think I ever reached the level of. I don't want to say fame at all, but of awareness of me that people might have now before this moment. There is some fun mini successes I will say along the way, like getting roles in certain shows, very small roles, albeit, but still, you know, great fun. But no, I. This is by far and away the most attention I've received since moving to la and I'm just hoping. Oh, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just. Keep going.

[Jay Renshaw]

Oh, I was just saying that, you know, hopefully I can translate chit to other avenues as well. Not like, I mean I say you step away from the character a little bit to also keep pursuing projects as myself or, you know, as other roles, other characters I might create or other roles I might play.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you had companies come to you and just offer you money now to put on a streaming service?

[Jay Renshaw]

There have been some exciting offers, but nothing is final and nothing is for certain. Right now we're just all. I shouldn't even say offers, really. It's been more discussions, but the talks alone are thrilling enough for us to even have the. The possibility of that to happen. But right now we're still so happy with the online audience that we have because they're so interactive and they have such great comments and thoughts about the characters, and we love seeing that in real time as we create the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we share every video, but for different reasons. Even the video that wasn't written as a sketch when you're driving, listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, even. Even that one has been shared so many times within our group. Are you worried? And again, I only think that's. And ask this question because you just said it. You're not worried about being like Urkeld, are you? Where people only know you as shit?

[Jay Renshaw]

I mean, I think it's a distinct possibility, but I think I'm trying to differentiate myself from the character as much as possible. And also in terms of, like, interviews like this, where I do do it as myself, or, you know, as opposed to the Pee Wee Herman, where I would do it completely in character, but I could only be so lucky to be like Pee Wee Herman at the same time. So it's kind of. It's a win, win, you know, it's. But ideally, no. I will be able to also pursue other projects as a version closer to myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you a theater kid in high school?

[Jay Renshaw]

No, not at all. No. I actually, I didn't pursue acting of any kind until 18 when I moved to LA.

[Bobby Bones]

So why would you all of a sudden want to act? Where did that come from?

[Jay Renshaw]

I wish I knew. I wish I knew. It was kind of just like this weird inkling urge that I had at 18 because I was going to go to college. I was enrolled, but I withdrew my enrollment the week before. A week before orientation. And I just said, I, I gotta go to LA and try this acting thing. So random. I know, but I'm glad I did it.

[Bobby Bones]

So how long were you in California before you actually had work as an artist? And did you have to have another job in order to supplement your income?

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, I had several jobs, actually, but I never Think. I don't think I ever hit a. A job, an acting job large enough to stop me from working other jobs. But, yeah, I worked at Starbucks early on. I worked at. I worked as like the assistant in this furniture showroom. Then after working there for several years, they kind of transitioned me into the marketing side, which was great. I love that company. They're so nice. But, yeah, just odd jobs that didn't really align with any passion per se that I had, but that were convenient. Or they worked around the acting schedule of going to random auditions or Groundlings classes, which became more and more dominant in my life as the years went on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. How did you start there? Did you start and just enroll and then work your way up? How long did that take?

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, I started at Groundlings in 2013. You auditioned to. To take classes there, which sounds so daunting, but the audition is really just to get a good gauge of where you're currently at so they know where best to place you. And I went through that whole program, which does take a while. I finished the main track before Sunday Company, which I know you won't know what that is, but it's a performance group at the end of the schooling that is a new show every Sunday that you do. You write and perform a new show every Sunday. So it gets pretty tiring because you're just constantly churning out material. But it's that type of training that has prepared me and all of the other Groundlings for situations like this, where suddenly there's a very real demand for creative output. And luckily we have the training to meet it.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you do Chit like Pee Wee did, where his was a stage show, obviously it was a sketch and turned into a stage show before it turned into anything else. Were you doing Chit as a character, as part of that, or did it come after?

[Jay Renshaw]

Chit never had his own stage show, but he definitely was a character that I brought into several sketches throughout my time at Groundlings. I mentioned before that the Do it lady sketch. Do it lady is one of the phrases that Chit has. That has. Has become relatively viral. Was a sketch that I did in Sunday Company, the program that I was just talking about. It was a birthday card signing. There were only two people in the sketch, so it was just me and another person. And I think what made the Chit version partially so successful was that there were more people to come on board and agree with him that it was a. That it was a fun saying.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your first paying job in California, Louisiana.

[Jay Renshaw]

I worked at a Workshop Studio for casting director workshops, where a casting director would come and meet with about 30 actors, give them advice, and then usually they would see them perform a prepared piece of their choice. And I was the reader at one of those. So I would read with people with the audition sides that they brought in for the casting director. And it was very fun. I mean, I got some facetime with casting directors, but ultimately I think those places came under some legal trouble because people viewed it as a little too much like pay to play. So I think those were kind of disbanded. And then I moved on to Starbucks.

[Bobby Bones]

What about auditions? What was the first audition that you actually got?

[Jay Renshaw]

Oh, the very first one. The very first one was for a student film. Oh, actually it was also a student film, but I'm thinking of a different one. But yeah, I did a high school production. Even though I was graduated from high school, I had moved to LA, I was 18, thinking like, okay, I'm gonna be a serious actor. And the first thing I got was a high school production of Roald Dahl's the Landlady. But I will say that these high schoolers, it was a specifically arts high school that was focused on film production and they had it together. It was actually exciting, especially also being in their age group, to just work with people that were so inspired and so ready to produce. So it was really fun. It was a lot of fun to. To do that, even though it was a high school.

Here'S what I love about impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious. Meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body.

[Jay Renshaw]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

And it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not or it's. And it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice, summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol. Or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without the guilt of meat. Impossible. Let you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

[Bobby Bones]

And we're back on the Bobbycast. I was looking at some of your IMDb and Curb youb Enthusiasm. What was your role there?

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, so my Curb youb Enthusiasm role was I will say cut a little bit unfortunately from the final product because I did have a fun little part that didn't see the light of day, sadly. But I am the juror in the final trial that Larry goes to for the finale this season or series finale. And yeah, I don't know how much I can say about about the role that like wasn't shown. But all I'll say is there was, there was more to it. That I was pretty heartbroken was cut. So I ended up being a little bit of a glorified extra there. But you know, I'll take it for Curb your Enthusiasm.

[Bobby Bones]

So how much of your week now is dedicated to it feels like you're doing the Sunday show but like three times a week now like you have, you've constantly created.

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, yeah, no, it's 100% of the time it is. And like I said, we're so grateful for it. It's such a creatively fulfilling thing. But, yeah, it's a churn. It's a grind, as they say.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the wig? Is it the same wig? Did you make the wig?

[Jay Renshaw]

What wig?

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly. Yes. That's not really your hair, is it?

[Jay Renshaw]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Okay. Then I started to feel like I insulted you. I was like, dude, my bad. I don't know if you just combed it forward. Okay, go ahead.

[Jay Renshaw]

No, that's very much a wig, but it's a great wig. And it was given to me by a friend who actually now has his own social media following as Bistro Huddie, which is wildly popular. Drew Talbert, he gave me that wig in, like, 2018, 2019. And it was just for a show at Groundlings. I don't even think at that point it was meant for my Chit character. I think I was using it for this other thing. I had styled it differently. But I also. I say he gave it to me, but I think initially it was the understanding was that I would give it back. And then once Covid happened, it was like, this is my wig now.

[Mike]

Right.

[Jay Renshaw]

But I'm glad I held onto it, because I ended up using it a ton throughout my other shows at Groundlings. And then, of course, it solidified itself as the chit wig, and it's not altered in any way. That is how the wig came. It looks like I would cut it myself, which is how we came up with the backstory for it. But, yeah, that's the wig.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you guys gridding out ideas and then eliminating them each week? What's the process of a single episode? I'm imagining, though, too, you're doing many episodes at once, like, different stages.

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah. So we usually write, edit, and film two episodes a week. So that's not to say it's the same episode that we're writing and then filming that week. Sometimes it is. Sometimes we decide that we, like, we want to insert this storyline piece into the narrative that we have growing. So we do write and then film it, like, say, the next day or something. But most often we've worked a little bit ahead that we're, like, filming things that we've written the week prior, writing things for the next week, editing things for the next. For the next upload day.

[Bobby Bones]

Whenever you introduce a character, like the wrestler, which she's Chit's girlfriend, do you have to go and find someone specific, like, cast that spot within your group or they're just friends or peers that you bring in to do it.

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, well, that's where we're so lucky to be in the Groundlings main company, because we truly have our pick of some of the most talented comedic actors in the world, I would say. I mean, these people have. Have had so much training to do exactly this. So we can pick from any of the. I think there's 32 of us in the main company now, and we know that they're going to deliver because they just get it. They understand what we're going for, and they are friends as well because we work so closely together. But even if they weren't, I think that they would get the role anyway because they're all so right on with what they do. Their comedic instincts are so sharp.

[Bobby Bones]

What's been the thing about Chit that has resonated that you didn't expect to like it? Maybe it was a throwaway, but people have. Have kind of gravitated to it.

[Jay Renshaw]

I will say specifically, like, the line success. I was not expecting to. It's so hard. I'm glad it did. But it was just. That was, to me, was a throwaway in Black Purse, where I was, like, success and has, like, latched on to people. And that's become one of his catchphrases, which I love. Now I'm trying to think if there's anything on, like, a larger scale, less, like, line oriented.

[Bobby Bones]

I also.

[Jay Renshaw]

I don't know, I think what's. Oh, so go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

No, sorry. I think the zoom delay caused us to bump into each other a little bit. But I also wonder, like, whenever you pick things like Red Lobster or Subway, there has to be conversations about why that's the perfect place for that character. Like, how did you land on those places?

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah, I mean, it's like a. It's just like a comedic rhythm, I think, to the word. Like, there's. And also just like, the public understanding of, like, what the perception of that place is. It all just kind of, like, both rhythmically and conceptually fits the mundanity of that character. So if, like, there's something about Subway, to me that seems so, like, regular life, and not in a bad way. I think a lot of people love Subway, but there is something that seems like it's just part of a routine by nature. And I think Chit's life in the office, although he's had kind of an illustrious past, maybe his life in the office seems so routine, but it's the routine that he's thrilled by. It's the everyday, pedestrian things. That actually thrill him. That's why he loves his life and loves going to work. So I think that's what we're aiming for. When we pick those slightly boring, perhaps, like, details about his life, that's to show that he actually finds great enjoyment in them, as he should.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have something that you've written or some project that you are super proud of that you're hoping gives you the ability or the leverage for someone to read it or to take it into production?

[Jay Renshaw]

I have ideas. I have ideas. I don't think there's one, like, other show that I. Or like, episode, like Pilot, I guess you. You would call it that. I've finished, but it's not ready for any. Any eyes yet. But there are ideas. There are other ideas that I have that I'm like, oh, you know, down the line, when I have maybe a moment to. To think about something else, I can flesh that out a little bit more.

[Bobby Bones]

I've got two more questions, and my buddy Eddie here, who we always quote Chet, he's got a question or two.

[Jay Renshaw]

Oh, great.

[Bobby Bones]

With Chit, when you shoot the show, is it much longer and you edit it down and is it all scripted? How much do people just get to try stuff out?

[Jay Renshaw]

We always leave a little room for improv because that's what we do at Groundlings. But the show is scripted, and Kyle and I will write the episode beforehand. It's usually around three to five pages anywhere in there. And yeah, there's some minor deviation from the script at points, but there's also some pretty tight, like, obviously punchline or, like, joke rhythms that we do make sure that we hit, especially in those awkward pauses that are pervasive throughout the series. Those are all, like, very intentional and almost, like, timed to A, to a T, because it's just the right level of cringe, I guess, the right level of awkward office interaction. But yes, they're scripted. And I forget the other part of your question.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry, Are they much longer and you edit out some of the parts?

[Jay Renshaw]

Oh, no, no, they are. They're scripted to what they almost always end up being. There's a very occasion we've cut, like, a joke at the top or the bottom of the sketch if it's not needed, or like, the blackout of the sketch gets shortened a little bit. But otherwise, so far, at least, we've shot what we've written and uploaded what we've shot.

[Bobby Bones]

My final question is, is there an expiration in mind of either number of episodes or how long you want to do the series.

[Jay Renshaw]

Nothing definitive right now. I think it depends what kind of keeps happening behind the scenes. With other larger scale production ideas for the show. We might have to balance a little bit better what we can do online as well. But right now we're working on, I guess, what some people might call a season one, if you will. And we're approaching this, I think, pretty exciting narrative arc that some people might view as conclusion of the season. But who knows? I mean, they're all such short episodes, it's hard to even call them episodes. But in the online world, it feels like we are getting close to what might be a fun denouement. I guess for the first season we'll see the audience might be like, whatever. This feels the same. But we've put a lot of effort behind it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, this is more of a. Jay, how's it going? I'm Eddie. This is more of a technical question. You guys do a great job of making it look like it's just a cell phone and you're just shooting it back and forth.

[Jay Renshaw]

It is. That's my question.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it just a cell phone?

[Jay Renshaw]

Yep, that's Kyle's phone. And he has some apps that he uses to improve the production quality. And Kyle has gotten better and better at the sort of tech aspect of it and also just the actual filming. I mean, that is an art in itself. The way that he's gotten so good at pacing his whip pans and all of that, we do try and beat those out before we start filming because we know we need to capture certain expressions. But even then, the actual act of doing it is a talent that he has really cultivated in this process.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's actually talking while he's filming.

[Jay Renshaw]

Yeah. Which makes it all the more impressive because he has to remember his lines. He has to remember the exact blocking of what other people are going to do to be able to catch it. And yeah, he's a multitasker for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

What about your eyes? Like the glasses that you wear, they make your eyes look so big. Does it hurt shooting a segment after you're done?

[Jay Renshaw]

You're like, you were the first person actually to ask that. Which is so funny because they do a little bit. They. At first, I will say it was more noticeable to me. Like I would take them off after shooting and I'd be like, oh, well, I probably should have had some breaks there. But now I'm a little bit more conscious of taking them off Once cut is called just to give my eyes constant breaks. But I will say the concerning thing is that I don't notice the difference anymore. Which, when I first put them on at the beginning, I'd be like, oh, everything's blurry. And. And now it's not very blurry when I put the glasses on, which I think is a bad sign. I think that means my eyes are changing. But anything for comedy.

[Bobby Bones]

So, final, before we let you go, did you think about doing a chit channel and not putting on Jay Renshaw TikTok, or was it always you were just gonna do it on yours?

[Jay Renshaw]

You know, I wish I could say there was that much forethought, but no one, none of us expected it to. To do what it did. So there wasn't the anticipation, really, that there would ever be a chit show like there is now. So putting it on mine or Kyle putting it on his Instagram, we just thought, let's just get this out there. And now it might seem like a smarter plan to have it be on, like, a chit show platform, but it's on mine for whatever. For whatever time it's going now. So I think we're prioritizing the consistency for viewers of, like, it's been here, it's staying here. You don't have to worry about finding it somewhere else, at least for the time being.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, congratulations. It's super inspiring to creatives to see you just make something, put it, and let it organically be seen and found because it is quality work. I think a lot of people at times will feel like that can't happen because there's a system that's against them. And I think you have proven otherwise, that if it's good, it can be found, and if it's good and done consistently, it can blow up. So it's very inspiring. So congratulations.

[Jay Renshaw]

Well, thank you so much. Yeah. I was off of social media for the last decade, and it was only Kyle that convinced me to come back on and shoot a few videos with him. And thank God he did well.

[Bobby Bones]

We're big fans, Jay, so, yeah, thank you. And you've also given us something new. To quote, because it was borat for, like, 20 years, we finally get to do something else. So. Yeah, Jay, have a great day. Good luck. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you, man. Super talented, and thanks for the time.

[Jay Renshaw]

Thank you so much. It was great talking to you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Jay, see you, buddy. All right, I'll see you the Bobbycast. We'll be right back.

Here'S what I love about Impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants so you get to eat good and and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body. And it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not or it's and it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without the guilt of meat. Impossible lets you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

This is the Bobbycast okay, I wanted to spend a few minutes talking about beefs in country music, because I love them. I think they're hilarious because they really don't matter. It's just something fun to look at. The one right now that has me laughing is Gavin Adcock and the world. I'll say this about Gavin Adcock, that I've met Gavin a couple times. I met his parents. Really nice guy.

[Mike]

He's going off on everybody.

[Bobby Bones]

Just. Just in. In, like, real life and human life. Really nice guy, kind guy. Like, yes, sir. Yes, ma'. Am. His parents were as normal as could be. Because of my experiences with Gavin Adcock. I like Gavin Adcock. Yeah, I like his music fine. But as a person, because I only know how he treats the people that are around when I'm there. So I like Gavin Adcock. I don't know the people mostly he's been fighting with, but Gavin Adcock and. And Charlie. Charlie Crockett. Recently, they've been added a little bit. Gavin Adcock and Beyonce. And Beyonce's fans. They've been out a little bit. Gavin Adcock and Nickelback sound guy. Gavin Adcox is up for a fight. And a lot of people are like, well, it's publicity. I. I do think that's a big part of it, but it's working. So when you insult something and go, he's only doing it for publicity, yet he's getting all the publicity. It's working. You have to understand, I've been in so many of these in different ways at different levels, that I just think they're funny. And I think if you were to put any of these two humans together in the same room, they're going to be like, yeah, we're just playing. They're not actually going to come to blows with each other because it's theatrics. It really just theatrics. You may be irritated because I've been irritated in some of these that I've been in, although I know I'm not in any now, like, active beefs, which is why I felt like it would be a good time to talk about some of these. So I've not gone over this with Mike or with Brandon, who are here. But Mike, when I say beefs or over the years, I've been in random fights with a lot of people. Who. What comes to mind?

[Mike]

First, number one, Florida Georgia Line.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'll go to Florida Georgia Line first. And here's a little picture of them on the screen in case you've never not seen what these guys look like. This is my recollection of my fight with Florida Georgia line. One day I was living downtown. I'm running. This is. I had a very brief period in my life where I ran. I'm running, and my phone gets, like, three text messages going, florida, Georgia lines, talking about you on satellite radio. And I thought, oh, that's cool. I'd only been in Nashville four or five years, and that's a long time. But at this point, I've been here for 12. And I was like, well, that's interesting. I wonder what they're saying. And so I hit one of my back. I was like, what's going on? They said, well, Tyler Hubbard is talking about you. And I think saying, like, you're a liar and that you put the signs up downtown. And I was like, well, that's interesting, because I did put the signs up. And if we do a quick reversal here. A long time ago, when I first started in Nashville, it was going horribly because I was so different than anything else that had existed here in the media space. And then I was put on all these markets all over the country, and so they. They removed other shows. And it was just a lot of negativity. So it was all negative. And I thought, what can I do strategically to change the negativity? And I. And you can look this up online. I bought these massive billboards in Nashville and didn't tell anybody I was buying them. And the signs just said, go away, Bobby Bones. And it worked in that new. Started to cover it. My company started to cover it. Nobody on the show knew that I bought them. I. I learned how to create, like, a. Basically a shell company to buy them so it couldn't be tracked back to me. And what happened with those signs? You had people see the signs and go, one. Who is Bobby Bones? Like, that was a big part of it, because you see a random sign where no one's taking credit for it, and it says, go away, Bobby Bones. You're like, who's. If you didn't know who I was and a lot of people didn't, it's like, who is Bobby Bones? The other one is a group of people going, why are they being mean to him? And the other one was like, I agree. Go away, Bobby Bones. So you had these three groups of people, and I never admitted that I put the signs up, because had I admitted I put the signs up, nobody would have cared. It had been stunt, and I love a good PR stunt. Now. I later admitted it when I put it in my book. Bare Bones admitted it. I just told a story about it. And the new York. No. The Washington Post read the book early and wrote a story about it saying. And that was fine because it was in the book. And I gave them the book saying that I was the one responsible for it. And everybody was pissed. Like, my company was pissed because they were trying to figure out who had put the billboards up. Like, there were thoughts. It was a record label. It was different artists, but I did it all. It's awesome. I'm still so proud of that because I was able to keep it quiet for so long. Like, all of, like, the stuff that's happened, the awards or whatever, that's all fun, and it's awesome. But that's one of the things I'm most proud of, is pulling that off. Because I had to do multiple things. I had to learn a lot to do it. And then I don't tell secrets. And it was my secret. And if I told one person, it could have snuck little mice. Little mice just feeding it to people. So that gets out. I was responsible for it getting out, even in the end. So I didn't have any problem with people talking about it, because I'm the one that did it. I'm the one that put it out. So apparently, they go on satellite radio and they're like, bobby, man, he's. He's a jerk. He puts up that sign. I had no beef with these guys. And so I was like, all right.

[Mike]

I'll mix it up.

[Bobby Bones]

This is Free Press. So I go on the show, and I don't even remember. I, like, called him out. I think I just started making fun of them a lot, which was pretty easy to do at the time because they had gotten so famous. You could do easy characters of them. Anybody that gets wildly famous, it's easy to do characters because they're everywhere. And whatever they're doing that's working is now it's. It's so existent that it's easy to mock. Like the. You know, you get so big that there ends up being hate. That's Coldplay. That's Nickelback. That's. You can go down the line. And it was Florida Georgia Line because they got so famous, so it was easy. But they came at me first, and it was a gift. It's a little basket. It was the front door. Open it up. It's like one of the baskets. Sometimes there's a baby in there. It was not. It was a gift of Florida Georgia Line coming at me. And so forever, for a couple years, just, like, give me the opportunity. I'm gonna take a shot. I got him on the air once. They had taken a couple shots at me, and it was just fun to me because it wasn't personal, but I'd put them on the spot and made them donate to charity. I don't remember what the charity was, but I remember doing that. And they were like, yeah, we're in. They came on to, like. I remember once Brian Kelly brought a picture he painted, like, Squashing the Beef.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

To Vegas. I don't even know where that painting is. I don't think he ever brought it home.

[Mike]

Did that one get donated to charity?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know. But it's. It's all a cartoon to me. So we have this fight, and then it's like, I got tired of it because you can only, like, beat on the same drum for so long until people get tired of the sound. And also, it wasn't that interesting to me anymore. And then they, like, broke up. And I had a couple good experiences with Tyler after that, and so it was all good. And then Tyler comes on the Bobby Cast, this podcast, and he was going solo at the time. Like, right before, maybe he'd had a song out, but it was new in that he's saying some stuff about his role in Florida Georgia Line, and I think Brian Kelly got a little upset by it. So Brian Kelly, the other guy, the guy that doesn't sing, calls Mike and is like, I want to come on the podcast. Calls me, called me from SummerSlam at. I remember him calling. I can barely hear him on the phone because he's at SummerSlam in the stadium. Yeah. And it's like, people yelling. And he's like, I want to come on. Tell my side. And I'm like, well, we're. We're going to leave town, but if you want to come and do this, I will stay in for, like, six, eight hours extra. We'll do studio, and then I'll leave. He's like, yeah. And then he gets on the phone, calls me that night, and tells me everything that I'm like, save for the interview. But he was talking. We hated each other.

[Jay Renshaw]

We.

[Bobby Bones]

We would go walk that fist fight down a dirt road. It was all this stuff. And I'm like, dude, just say it on a microphone. Because in real life, like, I don't care. I don't have any interest in being other people's business. And so it's day of. And Mike and I have, like, totally altered our schedule. Ready to go. He is at. And then he calls Mike day of and Says what?

[Mike]

He'd like to wait until he puts out new music.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to do it anymore. I'll do music. And I'm like, dude, that's the biggest crock of crap because I told you we were staying. We were gonna do this just for you. You were called to do. And then he just quits. And at least say you have Covid or something. I don't even know if Covid existed yet then.

[Mike]

I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, just say something. Don't be like, you know what? I'm gonna wait for a better promotional opportunity.

[Mike]

I got diarrhea or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Bad move. So I was pissed. I was like, you had me stay here. We set up the studio, we block other things out. And then you cancel day of with a. So I just went on the air and told that story. And it was right around the time that I was doing some stand up shows, getting ready to go out on tour, and I was doing this thing where if I, like, hosted the CMAs, what my. What my jokes would have been roast. And I did a joke about Fudruck. I did a joke saying, Florida Georgia Line. If you're big fans of them, you can see Tyler Hubbard. He's out opening with Keith Urban. If you're looking for Brian Kelly, he's at Fuddruckers. Something like that. Something like that. So he goes on social media and is. And decides to, like, come back at me. And then he calls me back and he goes, you know who always hated you? Tyler throws Tyler back under the bus. He goes, tyler Hubbard was the one that was always talking crap about you. And I'm like, dude, I don't care anymore. Like, I don't. And also, you screwed us. You cost me time and money. And then you. And so, yeah, like, I'm not really angry. It's. I have no beef with Tyler. I don't have any beef with BK either. I'm not going to do anything with them. But he tried to throw Tyler under the bus again to get whatever weirdness was with us to go away. It was like he was trading that. I'll give you some news on Tyler Hubbard.

[Mike]

He's the one who didn't like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, so, yeah, that was that one. That's a fun one. That's a fun one. That makes me laugh.

[Mike]

Hey, fist fighting down a dirt road. I want that to be a countryside.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he for sure was like telling me everything. And I had him on speakerphone because I was just sitting there and you know how somebody just keeps talking, you Put on speaker. And you're like, oh, my God. And my wife walks up while he's on speaker, and it's like, what are you doing? I hit on mute. I was like, bk's talking all this crap about Tyler Hubbard. Like, I care. Like, do it on the. And she was like, okay, good luck. All right, so there's that one. So fgl, bk, there's one. We have another one you know about. Yeah, I don't care.

[Mike]

Oh, Casey Musgraves.

[Bobby Bones]

Good one. This one's my fault. And I'd like to. I am a massive Casey Mus Musgraves fan. Like, one of my favorite artists of all time. It all went back to a CMA or ACM radio. We set up, like, a radio row, and all these artists come by. Now, I mentioned earlier that it was brutal for me the first couple of years because I was different than anything else that this city in this format had ever seen because I refused to wear a cowboy hat and a belt buckle. And there are different versions of country. I was trailer. Trailer trash country.

[Jay Renshaw]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

I was white guy, trailer park country. I wasn't cowboy country, and I didn't fake it. And also, I have a lot of hip hop, a lot of alternative, lot of country influences in my life. Like, I grew up in the country and listen to country, talking about where I was from but how I felt. Being like an angsty teen was more alternative space. And I was a big hip hop guy. I went to a school that wasn't all white. So also, I had digital music, like Napster existed. So I had all these influences on me, and I didn't care to come in and fake it, which is what everybody wanted me to do, but I wouldn't do it. And it was so anti me that I felt so attacked in so many ways from the industry, from a certain sect of artists, that I then put the razor blades up. And anybody that even was having, like, a slightly bad day, I thought they were being disrespectful and just chop their head off. This is like the first three years. And so what I like about Casey a lot is also, I think what got us into the fight is that I'm hypersensitive because there are, like, articles in, like, radio trade magazines talking garbage. I'll never make it. And at the time, ratings weren't great the first couple of years, how it was a mistake, how record labels are trying to get me pushed out on and on. And so Casey's no bs. And again, that's one of my favorite things about her like she is and she wasn't fake and she wasn't like, over the top. Nice. So I took that as, all right, you're being mean. Blades up. And it was a bad mix that day. And so I just got pissed off about it on the air and I was like, you treat people bad. But I was completely at fault because had I not been wildly triggered by the Nashville, we'll call it the Machine, I think it just would have been amazing. So that's on me. I also didn't know that Casey was no bs. She was kind of a new artist, but it didn't matter. That's on me. But yeah, anybody that came near me at that time, bull in a china shop. I'm about to run through you because I don't want anybody take. I don't. I was so triggered and so sensitive about everything at that time. So there's that one. Boom. Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

Here'S what I love about Impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants. So you get to eat good and and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body. And it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not or it's. And it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without the guilt of meat. Impossible lets you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

[Bobby Bones]

And we're back on the Bobby cast. I got into a fight once with Craig Campbell.

[Mike]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

You don't remember that one?

[Mike]

No, I don't remember.

[Bobby Bones]

That is very short lived. And we're, we've been way cool since. But Craig Campbell has that song, Keep Them Kisses Coming. I like Craig a lot now. I liked Craig a lot then, but we were doing like covers and Eddie and I were playing on these covers and we did Craig Campbell featuring the Raging Idiots. It'll never be Royals. Yeah. And Craig covered it and I thought it'd be a super interesting cover because he, he's so country. And so we did it and put it out and, and like TMZ had this very brief thing where they had a Nashville office.

[Mike]

I remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

And they would go down and try to like get all the country stars. And they went to Craig Campbell and they were like, your song Royals. Great job. And he's like, yeah, I just thought we'd do it one day. And I got so offended that he didn't credit me because I'm the one that was like, dude, let's do this song. I'll record it again. It lasted like one day because I went on the air and I was like, he didn't come up with the idea. And then he was like, yeah, my bad. I should have said you guys came up with it. They got in my face and I reacted. So that was a. That was a brief blip. I had a blip with Kane.

[Mike]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Kane and I got into a big Twitter fight on the Air one morning way early. And I think Kane is actually a friend now. Kane Brown. Kane Brown is my friend. But when Kane Brown started, we were both much younger. He's far younger. I didn't know Kane and I think we were doing like a Christmas show or something and Kane came in and there was like no room for anybody to do like this charity show. We were playing like a bar or something and I think we were like arguing over who got what chair. It was something so stupid like that that I took it to air. I think I'm just looking for something to talk about. And Kane started tweeting back at me and we kind of got into it online and then we were both like. And I got a shout out to Kane because he's much younger than I am and much more mature than I am, so. But Kane and I got into it for just a minute, but love Kane now. But also I can get over some of these too. That's what I'd like to say. Aaron Watson.

[Mike]

I remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So Aaron Watson, who I do like now. And Aaron Watson does a great job on social media now, especially on Tick Tock. He does like tailgate talks. Funny guy, Big Texas country artist, came by the studio one day. I, I, some of this is going to be blurry to me. I remember he called our producer sweetheart. I don't know if I wasn't there or if we were doing the show and he didn't get in. I don't know what the deal was, but she was so offended that he was like, here's my cd, sweetheart. This was one of those times where I just had the people on my team and she was so offended by it. All right, I'm in. Then I gotta defend you. Even though I knew where his heart was and his heart wasn't in a bad place. His heart was grew up in a small Texas town and called women sweetheart. Now that's not my vernacular to call women, but it was Elena, our old producer, and he was like, here's my CD suite. And she was so offended that I was like, fine. And so I just went in on her team. I would, I don't think I would do that today. And I don't think he had any, any hate in his heart or any insulting in his mind when he said that. Do you?

[Mike]

No, I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that was one that I just blew up because one, I wanted her to felt like she was being defended and two, I was probably low on content that day.

[Mike]

I mean, that blew up it blew up.

[Bobby Bones]

It blew up. And Aaron and I are cool now for sure. But that one blew up pretty good. But I liked it. I liked it that it blew up.

[Mike]

I'd say worthy of the making it a big deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Say that again.

[Mike]

It's worthy to make it a big deal. What all happened from it?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it. It was worth it. Another one's Neil Patrick Harris.

[Mike]

No idea about this one.

[Bobby Bones]

After I went Dancing with the Stars, he DM me like, you, You're. You suck. You didn't deserve to win.

[Mike]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Out of nowhere.

[Mike]

And I was like, Doogie Hauser DM'd you. He did. He did.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I went on the air with it and I was like, neil Patrick Harris is coming at me for winning Dancing with the Stars. Apparently he was friends with. With one of the people that was also on the show and was just taking it out on me. And so I replied back and I was nice and I was like, are you for real? Is this like a joke? Are you doing a bit?

[Mike]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And it was a back and forth for a second. Then he ended up replying to that little back and forth. Like, three weeks later. I was like, hey, sorry about that. I was just a little. Little upset that my friend lost.

[Mike]

You think it's one of those things where he typed it in his phone, not meaning to send it, and then accidentally.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. It was pretty hardcore when he sent it to me. But I thought it was so funny that Neil Patrick Harris was so affected by Dancing with the Stars. But then I realized that one of the people that he knew was on it. But even then, like, I didn't do anything to win except do what you're supposed to do to win. It wasn't like I manipulated anything.

[Mike]

You cheated.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So.

[Mike]

But yeah, like, broke someone's leg or something.

[Bobby Bones]

The Neil Patrick Harris one's kind of funny. That's one. A recent one's with Dasha.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Very bk. Like, very bk. Like, where it was an interview set up. She canceled day of, like, right before. And we're like, hey, don't. You don't want to do this interview this day. You don't want to do it. You don't want to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to do it. The thing is about this one is I have somebody on the inside. I don't want to say who it is. And somebody on the inside hit me up before the cancel. Is it cancellation? It was like, hey, Dash is going to cancel. And she's not sick, and she just doesn't want to do it today. But they're going to make a thing. And then Mike hits me up an hour later, hey, Dash is sick. And I was like, I just got a call going, she's going to do this, and she's not sick. So I don't like it. I didn't like how it made me feel. I think there could have been better ways to do it. What is your. What is your.

[Mike]

Yeah, that all lines up because we actually moved that one twice. That was the second time we had moved it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So it kind of lines up with what I know.

[Jay Renshaw]

And.

[Mike]

Yeah, another, like, wait till new music type thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And you know what? When new me, she doesn't need me. Nobody needs me. I know that. I think it can be advantageous to come on to the radio show or this podcast. I think it can be as advantageous as anything else. But nobody needs me, so I don't have that. So she doesn't need me. I don't need her. And I don't like that relationship. I don't like being lied to. So we're good.

[Mike]

But the annoying part for me is they reached out to me about having her on it even. I was like, I don't know about this. And I was like, you know what? It might be good to have her on. Let's see what she says the second time. Yeah, I know. Like, okay, like, I'll see what happens here. And then for them to back out of that. It's like, we didn't even, like, ask for her to come on.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. Then I got a. But I got a call before the. Back out, though, was the hard part. Hard part. Like, she's gonna cancel. She's gonna say she's sick. She's not sick. Just so you know, because I know this is the second time you booked it. And then I thought maybe she won't. Mike. Hey, man. Dash is out. Oh, is she? Dasha doesn't need me. I don't need Dasha. The world's fine without our union. I think the world is just fine without our union. Another one is Mojo the radio guy.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

This one still pisses me off. Just because it's about St. Jude and cancer kids. I don't know, three, four years ago. I don't remember how many years.

[Mike]

More than that.

[Bobby Bones]

You think so?

[Mike]

I think it was pre. Covered.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know why he came at me for this? Because I do not. I don't know what the motivation was other than jealousy.

[Mike]

I think it came out of nowhere, really.

[Bobby Bones]

All I know is this dude named Mojo who does radio in Detroit was on saying, I only work with St. Jude so I can get the credit for it. And that's tough to hear because I don't wear that on my sleeve. I'm not the St. Jude guy who goes around talking about it all the time whenever it's time to talk about it. Because here's the reason. One, I was in the hospital a bunch as a kid and without the help of freaking Medicaid or government help. Is that Medicare or Medicare. It's Medicaid, right?

[Mike]

Medicare, Medicaid, yeah, whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Whichever one. And then like people at church, like people taking care of me. I wouldn't have been able to be in the hospital and get it paid for and get out. And it almost died when I was a kid. So that was it. I know what it's like to be in the hospital and depend on other people. And that's what St. Jude does. Two, I've been there. It's pretty close, and they take kids from all over. And there was already a relationship with country music. And so I kind of jumped in on that and grew it from that. So it was all these things combined. But I'm never the guy who's like, celebrate me because of what I've done with that hospital. And to hear that, because I. I purposefully don't do that. Also, there are a few organizations we work with and I really separate them out because if I'm talking about three things at once, nobody hears one single thing. You hear nothing. So it's like there are specific times where I'm doing military stuff, where I'm doing St. Jude, when I'm doing animals. Those are like the three things that I do the most. And so, yeah, Mojo is like he. Only now I remember being shocked by that because there are reasons where I think it's okay for people not to like me because I have bold opinions, or I've just created a bold opinion because I need some content for that day. But this was out of nowhere. And so I went right at him and I was like, you. And I don't know if he ever apologized. I don't know. I thought it was such a low class move that if he did, I don't think that I would have been like, oh, I get it, man. I just have been like, you know, we're probably better. This union is probably better not being created. But that's what I remember about it is not even being hurt by It. Because I'm not hurt, because I know why I do what I do, so I'm not hurt by it. But I was like, why would somebody even do that? It was the. There were 84 things to attack me over. That is not one.

[Mike]

It's not like you have it in, like, your Instagram.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have anything. You don't have anything. You have nothing. You can't even find it unless you go and, like, Google search it. And it. Yeah, that one. That's the only one that I think kind of pissed me off, because I did not understand where it was coming from. And it was something that was, like, such a sensitive thing to, like, create drama over. I. I like the people on a show. I know them. They're great. I get no use for him. But I thought that was dirt. Dirt ball. I think that's the most dirt ball of all of them. So, that being said, as we go back to our original concept here of beefs are funny, I think Gavin Adcock fighting with everybody is hilarious. There was a scene in Commando back in the day. I don't know that movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, where he's in a mall, he's fighting everybody off, and, like, eight guards get on him, and he's. He's underneath them all, and he throws them all off of him. That's how I picture Gavin Adcock right now. I'm not even saying he's right or he's wrong. I don't care. It's all theatrics, and it's hilarious. So that's. That's what's up. Thought I would address the beefs here. On this.

[Mike]

This version of this, we have a Commando reference.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one. And also when I do one of those Q and A's, where it's like, ask me anything. Everybody's always like, what's up? Who's the beef with? And so I can just point them to this episode. Now, there are people that I. In country music that I am fighting with now, but it's, like, personal, so it's not even a beef. It's like, real things happen in real life, so that's not even a beef. So if it's not known, it's not a beef, right?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I agree. Otherwise, it's like a friend you fight with. All right, that's it. Now, I thank you guys for being here. Please share this with your friends on your Instagram story. It helps us a ton. I hope you have a great rest of the week. Next week, on the podcast we have Dirk Spentley coming up Tuesday. Excellent. We did an hour with Dirks and then on Thursday or Friday. Friday, Friday. The Ting Tings and the Ting Tings were in Spain when I talked to them and Ting Tings have the first song Shut up and let me go. But the real one is they call me, they call me Stacy. That's not my name. Phantom. That's not my name. So Ting Tings next week. Thank you guys and we will see you guys soon. Bye everybody. Thanks for listening to a Bobby Cast production.
