Hey, guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Emile Hirsch
Just listen.
Bobby Bones
We don't care where you hear it.
Podcast Announcer
Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move, and he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off, and that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Brandon
June is Black Music Month, and on the Drink Champs podcast, we're speaking with the hottest names in the culture, like Swae Lee.
Eddie
Do you realize how legendary you are?
Emile Hirsch
I appreciate that I be seeing it,
Bobby Bones
but I'm like, man, I still got, like, so much more to do.
Emile Hirsch
Like Princess, he dropped like, 30 albums. We dropped like five right now. That's the rate we gotta be going.
Brandon
Yeah, that's a good attitude. No matter the era, Drink Champs brings you the biggest names and the most unfiltered conversations. Listen to Drink Champs from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Bobby Bones
Hey, everybody, welcome. It's me, Bobby Eddie, and Brandon Ray, and we are going to draft our teams of the greatest 90s country stars of all time. Now, what we're going to do first, though, is explain. The only rule is there's a tier we don't get to Draft. The top tier that we'd easily fight over is Garth, George Strait, and Shania Twain.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
Nice.
Bobby Bones
That's number one. They're not on the board, so they're out.
Brandon
Love it.
Bobby Bones
We already know they're top tier, and every team was going to start with them anyway.
Eddie
Okay. But we would all have different.
Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
They're off the board.
Eddie
Okay. All right, let's scratch them out.
Bobby Bones
They're in the top tier.
Eddie
Dang.
Bobby Bones
Just makes it a little harder.
Brandon
I like it.
Bobby Bones
So we have a wheel up on the screen, which everybody can see. We're gonna spin the wheel. Whoever it lands on will go first, and then we'll just go clockwise for second and third. All right, Mikey, spin the wheel.
Eddie
Let's go, baby. Here we go, baby. Let's go, baby.
Bobby Bones
For those watching on.
Eddie
Let's go, baby.
Bobby Bones
Brandon won. He'll have the first overall pick. Each of us will get five players, which is five artists.
Eddie
Wonderful.
Bobby Bones
And Brandon. No Garth. No Shania and no George Strait. Who is your first overall pick in the 90s country artist draft?
Brandon
All right, give me Alan Jackson.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one.
Bobby Bones
Is that who you'd have gone with?
Eddie
Yeah, for sure. You?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was either him or my next one.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Because I'll go next. It was going to be Alan Jackson or it was going to be Brooks and Dunn.
Eddie
Yep. I figured.
Brandon
Nice.
Eddie
Dude, those are so good.
Emile Hirsch
Yep.
Bobby Bones
They just won an acm.
Brandon
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Again.
Brandon
God.
Bobby Bones
And a little bit they won for duo, but a little bit's because there
Eddie
aren't many duos around.
Bobby Bones
But they're still playing arenas.
Eddie
Yes. And Ronnie sounds great.
Bobby Bones
He still sounds great. He's in his 70s.
Eddie
And kicks can move still like they look and sound.
Bobby Bones
Their dynamic is kind of funny on stage because they both have their moments where Kicks is very much the talker. He's the funny guy. He's going to get up and do all the stuff. And Ronnie's the lead singer. But then Kicks also has his songs.
Eddie
He has his songs, and he also has. I don't want to spoil anything, but he has a little harmonica solo.
Bobby Bones
Well, you're not spoiling anything.
Eddie
He does a little harmonica solo. It's a live show.
Bobby Bones
Wait, wait.
Brandon
What?
Eddie
What? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Going Brooks and Dunn with my first pick, Eddie.
Eddie
I'm going to have to go with Big Red Hair. Reba. Give me Reba McIntyre.
Brandon
There you go, man.
Bobby Bones
How many Reba songs can you name?
Eddie
Oh, just a couple. The Lights Went out in Georgia. Fancy. And then I'm out.
Bobby Bones
I saw Reba and Brooks and Dunn do their show together in Vegas, so I went to that. And they use the same band anyway. At least they did for a long time.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, that helps.
Bobby Bones
And so it helps that they knew all the songs.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I love Reba. And I think part of Reba's appeal, too, has been she's able to. Been able to last for so long in so many different worlds as.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, country singer, singer, actress, host,
Bobby Bones
Broadway, all of that. And then I started to challenge myself to how many Reba songs I knew once she was performing. I gotta say, I'm a mid, but I'm not a die hard. Know all the songs of Reba.
Eddie
How many did you know?
Bobby Bones
I know. Fancy. Yeah, I know. That's the night the lights went out in Georgia.
Eddie
Jamie.
Bobby Bones
I know. Consider me gone. Brandon. Do you know Consider me gone? I know. I'm a survivor because that ended up being a survivor. Survivor. I know. Does he love you? Oh, does he love you?
Brandon
Laurie Morgan.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
No.
Brandon
Linda Davis.
Bobby Bones
Hillary Scott's mom. Oh, yeah. And then I started to struggle because. Didn't Reba sing on Cowgirls Don't Cry? Yes, she did, but I think that was Brooks and Dunn's song.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, it was. It was Brooks and Dunn's song. And they featured her.
Bobby Bones
If you see him. If you see her. I just looked that one up.
Eddie
If you see her. That's not the same as. Do you love him?
Bobby Bones
No, it's different.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon
That was another duet with a. With another female artist.
Bobby Bones
It's Brooks and Dunn and Reba.
Brandon
Oh, never mind.
Bobby Bones
Reba's leading that one.
Brandon
Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
Where Cowgirls Don't Cry. Brooks and Dunn. I think it's their song.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So Reba was on that song Be a Light with Chris Tomlin back in the day. We played. It wasn't like a massive song. It was Reba and a whole bunch of other artists.
Eddie
Okay. I don't know that one.
Brandon
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Oh, of course. Little Rock.
Brandon
Little Rock.
Eddie
Oh,
Bobby Bones
yeah.
Eddie
That was a good one.
Bobby Bones
Whoever's in New England, I remember that music video.
Brandon
I do, too.
Bobby Bones
That's what I remember more than the song is that music video. Let's see. I'm looking it up now to see what I remember going out like that. Is that new? That had to be new Reba, right? If you guys don't know it, I don't know it. Anyway, I felt a bit of a fraud when I could Only pull up 5 or 6 Reba songs. Where Brooks and Dunn. I was get, like, 20 deep.
Eddie
I know. And I feel like I had to pick Reba because she was such a 90s country icon.
Bobby Bones
I think you had the right pick.
Brandon
Oh, absolutely. That was gonna be mine. It was between Alan Jackson and Reba for me.
Bobby Bones
I think I just, as a kid, didn't, like, buy Reba CDs. I just knew all the songs on the radio.
Eddie
Right. And she was all over everything.
Bobby Bones
We're not discounting you. I was talking bad about myself, but I should have known more of her songs. I could only go five or six deep before I had to look it up.
Eddie
Hey, what was the format of that concert? Would they alternate songs? Or was it like Brooks and Dunn first, then Reba?
Bobby Bones
Okay, don't hold me to it. But it was a bit of switching back and forth.
Eddie
But they were on stage at the same time.
Bobby Bones
Yes, they sang together. Some Brooks and Dunn would do. Some Reba would do. Some Reba would. Every time she'd leave, she'd have a new outfit on, though she'd come back and show up again.
Brandon
Classic Reba.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, first round.
Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
We do have them up. For those watching on Netflix, we have our teams up here. So, Brandon, you have Alan Jackson. Would you like to go with your second overall pick?
Brandon
I'm going to go with my second pick. This was tough. I mean, this for me was personal. Me and my brothers, we used to rollerblade on our carport to the cassette of this next artist, and it was the entire 90s for me growing up.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Brandon
And, you know. No, I'm just kidding. I'll just say it. Tim McGraw.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah. Indian Outlaw. Come on.
Eddie
What I think about this, though.
Bobby Bones
Don't take the girl.
Brandon
Don't take the girl is what.
Eddie
What was 90s versus what was 2000s? Because you can only take into consideration what was 90s.
Brandon
What was 90s, right.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Well, let's. Let's look it up here.
Eddie
Let's see where that. Where that line was drawn.
Brandon
I think his first record came out in 92 or 93.
Eddie
Oh, really? Oh, I didn't realize that.
Bobby Bones
Biggest Hits, 1994. Don't take the girl from Tim McGraw. Yeah, I like it. I love it. 1995.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
It's your love. 1997. Just to see you smile. 1997. Where the green grass grows. 97. Something like that. 99. My best friend. 99. Indian outlaw. 94. My next 30 years. 99.
Eddie
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
He's one of the biggest 90s country artists of all time, 100%. That's amazing because he's so relevant now. He doesn't get put in that category because of his Today irrelevant. Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
I didn't realize that because he's doing
Bobby Bones
new music, like Brooks and Dunn. Still relevant. They're winning awards, but they're just playing their old stuff at shows.
Eddie
So where was something like that?
Brandon
96 or 96.
Bobby Bones
Something like that was 99.
Eddie
That's reminding you, dude. That's still in the 90s.
Bobby Bones
According to this. Anyway. A highly relatable, upbeat song about high school love and summer nostalgia.
Eddie
Ah, the best.
Bobby Bones
So you know where they were headed to?
Eddie
Yeah, in that plane. Where he was headed to in that plane? Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
He was headed to New Orleans.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. He also flies. I thought you were talking about him in real life.
Brandon
No, no.
Eddie
I don't know. I don't know, dude. Kidding me.
Bobby Bones
All right, over to me.
Eddie
Oh, man, that's tough. This is tough.
Bobby Bones
It is tough. I need to look up certain artists here.
Brandon
Top 30 90s country artists.
Eddie
That's what he's Googling.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'm going to go with that dude. And I. I don't know what name we put it under, but I'm gonna go the Dixie Chicks.
Eddie
Yeah. Good.
Bobby Bones
Because in the 90s.
Brandon
Supreme 90s, man.
Eddie
Yeah, late 90s.
Bobby Bones
We're going with the Chicks. They're the Chicks. Okay, but what if all their music was released under the Dixie Chick?
Eddie
Did they change all that music? Like, did they have to go in and change all the chicks?
Bobby Bones
That's what I mean, just for now, if you look them up. But all their label covers still say Dixie Chicks.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
From back in the day.
Brandon
Right. But they did change, like, the artist's name under it.
Eddie
Right. So, like, if you look up Wide
Bobby Bones
Open Spaces, it'll say the Chicks now.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
Unless you look at the album cover and it says the Dixie Chicks, but
Movie Mike
don't look at it.
Brandon
You can't look at it.
Bobby Bones
So here we have, like, they were massive, but it was all in the late 90s. But wide open spaces.
Eddie
Late 90s, all.
Bobby Bones
All right. There's your trouble. I'm just kind of looking for the woman boat here.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's why people. Yeah, there's your trouble. Wide open spaces I can love you better let her rip Tonight the heartache's on me that was a genius.
Brandon
On me, on me.
Bobby Bones
Let's see.
Eddie
What about, like, not Ready to make nice? That was 2000.
Bobby Bones
No that was way later. Yeah, that's when they. After they got in trouble.
Emile Hirsch
Yep.
Eddie
Traveling Soldier. That's a good one.
Brandon
Really good one.
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't have them all, guys. Let's see what else we have here on that. Wide Open Spaces. I Can Love you better jam so good. Wide open spaces. There's your trouble.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Tonight the heartache's on me. Let her rip. That's just that album. But anyway, I'm going to Dixie, which
Eddie
is the one where should they kill
Brandon
the dude or Earl?
Eddie
Earl. Cause Earl had to die.
Bobby Bones
What's the other album here, Fly.
Brandon
Ready to Run.
Bobby Bones
Oh, God.
Brandon
Ready?
Eddie
Ready to run.
Bobby Bones
That's a jam too. Cowboy.
Brandon
Take me away.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness. Ask for that every day.
Brandon
Goodbye, Earl.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man. Okay. I don't feel so bad about that. No, dude, that's really nine massive songs in there for the 90s. Okay. I've got the chicks.
Emile Hirsch
Oh.
Brandon
Oh.
Eddie
How did I forget this one?
Bobby Bones
Don't do Chris Gaines. We've already eliminated Garth Brooks.
Brandon
Can't do Chris Gaines, dude.
Eddie
Wow. I'm between two here now, but I think that this artist that I'm thinking of. Don't look at my list. I think maybe had a lot of hits in the 80s.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Randy Travis. Is that who you're thinking?
Eddie
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's the reason that I didn't go with Randy Travis, because it was mostly 80s based.
Eddie
That's what I'm thinking.
Bobby Bones
I'll look up his 90s hits because of that.
Eddie
But you know what? Forget it. If he sticks around later on, maybe I'll pick him. But I'm going to go with Travis Tritt.
Bobby Bones
Good one.
Eddie
Oh, I'm going to go with Old Trav.
Bobby Bones
I thought the Eagle stuff that he did was so cool.
Eddie
Oh, Desperado.
Brandon
Huge.
Eddie
Tequila Sun.
Brandon
It was.
Eddie
Oh, shoot. I just got another one. Oh, my gosh.
Emile Hirsch
Take it easy.
Bobby Bones
I don't know how much we can sing on this.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Without getting kicked off.
Eddie
Let's not sing anymore then. We're done singing. We all know the song.
Bobby Bones
1993 tribute. The. He did the album Common Thread. The Songs of the Eagles.
Eddie
Wow. That's cool.
Brandon
Really cool.
Bobby Bones
Let's see what else he did. Take it easy. Desperado, Tequila Sunrise. Oh, no, I guess he was just part of it. He didn't do the whole album. I guess a bunch of artists did it.
Eddie
Oh, they did.
Bobby Bones
I remember that video. So I just assumed he did more than one song.
Eddie
So the one he did was Take it Easy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Alan Jackson did Tequila Sunrise, Little Texas Did Peaceful Easy Feeling. Clint Black did Desperado. Man. That was a jam version too.
Brandon
That's pretty cool, man.
Bobby Bones
That's a great one. Diamond Rio. Did Diamond Eye or Lion Eyes? Best of My Love. Brooks and Dunn, you did the Best of My Love. Yeah, we can't sing it.
Eddie
Can't sing it. We know it, though.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's. Man, what if you pick that album as your favorite 90s artist? The Eagles tribute album.
Eddie
All of them.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So go ahead.
Eddie
I want Charles Tritt.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Oh, you got it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
All right, back over to Brandon. You have Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw.
Brandon
This was tough. Let me go into my spiel about this. No, I'm going to go with Trisha Yearwood.
Eddie
Solid.
Brandon
Nothing screams the 90s more than Trisha Yearwood.
Eddie
It's not true, but solid.
Bobby Bones
What screams the 90s more than Trisha?
Eddie
Garth.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Garth can't be on the list.
Brandon
Yeah, well, that wasn't on the list.
Eddie
Well, you just said. You said nothing. Nothing.
Bobby Bones
It's a good point.
Brandon
Nothing that we can choose. Yeah, okay.
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
I have Brooks and Done in the Chicks. I gotta get off the band circuit.
Eddie
Nah, stay on it, dude. If you feel good with the band circuit, stay on there.
Bobby Bones
The Bobby cast.
Brandon
We'll be right back.
Podcast Announcer
Number one hits, millions of records sold awards, sold out tours. You think the Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope. It's podcast time.
Bobby Bones
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Podcast Announcer
A Jonas is available now and their first guest is a big one, Paul Ruddy.
Bobby Bones
You know, Steve Carell is a great singer.
Brandon
Didn't he tell you not to audition
Bobby Bones
the Office or something? I told him. Whoa.
Eddie
We were filming Anchorman. Clearly I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?
Podcast Announcer
Listen to hey, Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone, your co worker who quote unquote, doesn't read, is reading romance your mom. Book talk, the entire Internet. I'm Sanjanah bhasker. I'm Tyler McCall and this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse, and what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn and obsess. We're going to Wuthering Heights, which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance age gaps, certain Russian hockey players and sentient objects in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Saigon, the story of my family and of the country that shaped us.
Eddie
The United States will not stand by and allow any power to, however great, take over another country.
Bobby Bones
From iHeart podcasts, Saigon, please allow me
Brandon
to introduce Joseph Schumann.
Bobby Bones
You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam? I should stop talking so much. I like hearing you talk. One city, a divided country and the war that tore America apart. This is for Vietnam. I've taken a hit from Japanese brown fire. Do you read?
Crime Stories Narrator
They're pouring petrol all over him.
Podcast Announcer
He's holding matches.
Brandon
I'm on a landmine. For freedom.
Bobby Bones
Let's get out. Freedom come at night. Saigon, starring Kelly Marie Tran and Rob Benedict. Staying here's madness.
Podcast Announcer
The world should hear about this. There's a fire coming to this country

Bobby Bones
And we're back on the bobbycast. All right, I'm gonna go with as my third pick. I like how Eddie has a laptop, but he's still standing paper.
Eddie
I get a good visual of scratching.
Bobby Bones
I was thinking, well, Eddie's a disadvantage. He doesn't have a computer, but he literally has one right beside him, right? I know.
Eddie
I'm an idiot.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'm gonna go with Vince Gill.
Eddie
Solid.
Bobby Bones
1992, I still believe in you.
Eddie
Don't sing it.
Bobby Bones
1992 I still believe in you I love. Don't let her love start slipping away.
Brandon
Oh, such a good song.
Bobby Bones
Listen to this. Also in 1992. One more last chance. I know more last boys. I love you, baby It's a lot that I do. Yeah, we do some good old boys. I'm making Noise. Yeah.
Eddie
So good.
Bobby Bones
Whenever you come around, that.
Brandon
That song. Oh, what?
Bobby Bones
What?
Eddie
Brandon? What? Whenever you come around, where does it take you to?
Brandon
Just. It's one of the best written songs ever.
Bobby Bones
How about Go Rest High on that mountain, 1994?
Eddie
Come on. Dude, that was unbelievable. Just, I think maybe possibly the best voice in country music.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Ever.
Podcast Announcer
Ever.
Brandon
And a lot of people forget he was a host of the ACM Awards
Bobby Bones
for a long time.
Brandon
I mean, seven years straight.
Bobby Bones
You know, like, he had multiple dimensions.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Not just a great songwriter, not just a great singer.
Brandon
Oh, guitar player.
Bobby Bones
That's what I was gonna say.
Eddie
Amazing guitar player.
Brandon
The dude was in Pure Prairie League back in the day.
Bobby Bones
And you know what they sang? Eddie, go.
Eddie
The only thing I can think of is the Human League.
Bobby Bones
No, you're thinking of a different Pure Prairie League.
Brandon
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
I only know one song. I think.
Brandon
I think I know the song.
Bobby Bones
Is it? Yeah. I don't know if I'm right. It's the name of somebody that we know and work with.
Brandon
Yes.
Eddie
Oh, Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Nop.
Brandon
Abby. Amy, what you want to do? Oh, that one.
Eddie
Amy.
Bobby Bones
Yep, that's it. Okay, so I have Vince Gill as my number three pick.
Eddie
That's so good.
Bobby Bones
All right, over to Eddie, who's got Reba and Travis Tritt.
Eddie
Give me Clint Black.
Bobby Bones
It's a great one.
Eddie
I gotta go.
Brandon
Clint Black. Mine.
Eddie
I did.
Brandon
Yep.
Eddie
Man, that's the best thing to hear when you're like, third pick.
Brandon
Well, you want to hear Skill, then Clint Black.
Eddie
When you pick yours, you want to hear like.
Bobby Bones
Oh, it's like fantasy football.
Eddie
Dang it.
Bobby Bones
I was going to draft him next.
Eddie
Yes. Yes. Good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We just had Clint Black in, and I think he had four number ones in a row off his very first album. Something that hasn't been done since. Killing Time will always be just a song that reminds me of being a kid around that time listening to Kissing 96, dude.
Brandon
KMS 95 for me.
Bobby Bones
What'd you guys have?
Eddie
K Frog.
Bobby Bones
You had a K. Frog.
Eddie
A K Frog.
Bobby Bones
A country station called K Frog, and
Eddie
that's where the country music came from.
Bobby Bones
Did you know any of the radio people?
Eddie
Yeah, I knew. And he's still a K Tex now. Cause after K Frog turned K Tex and what's his name?
Brandon
Jumping Johnny Johnson.
Bobby Bones
Is that who you had?
Brandon
No, I don't.
Bobby Bones
Oh, we had Bob Robbins, and he was around for, like, 40 years. Wildly popular in central Arkansas. Would take Arkansas Keith fishing on his fishing show.
Eddie
Really?
Brandon
No way.
Bobby Bones
Because he had a fishing show like A local fishing show as well. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And then he retired, or he moved to another station, and they put me on. I was not met warmly because it was just so different than what he did. Now it's wonderfully warm because that's my hometown.
Eddie
Sure.
Bobby Bones
But, yeah, it was a pretty brutal transition from Bob Robbins to, well, Bobby Bones.
Eddie
Would you guys call the radio station and, like, win stuff?
Bobby Bones
I never called the country station to win stuff, but I called the pop station to win stuff all the time. Well, the country station, though, was in Little Rock, and the pop station was in Hot Springs. Okay, so I lived in Hot Springs
Eddie
to pick up your prize.
Brandon
Yes.
Bobby Bones
I would win behind the Mall Cinema Passes like nobody else. Yep. And then I won a couple times dinner at El Chico.
Eddie
Oh, dude, El Chico's great.
Bobby Bones
All you had to do is remember the top five at nine, and you get in and you tell them what the top five at nine was, and you win either behind the Mall Cinema Passes or Dinner Del Chico.
Eddie
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Which was in the mall.
Eddie
Yeah. Okay, perfect. Yeah, perfect. That made sense.
Bobby Bones
Which was right by the radio station. I later worked at that radio station. That was my radio station that I worked at first. Full circle, four years. All right.
Eddie
Okay, that's back to you, Brandon.
Brandon
It's to me.
Bobby Bones
Clint Black, though. My point. Sorry I got off track there. Killing time.
Eddie
Better man.
Bobby Bones
Better man. Awesome.
Eddie
Leave it. Can't do it.
Bobby Bones
Can't do it.
Brandon
Can't do it because you're about to cry or.
Eddie
No, I just can't do it.

Bobby Bones
All right, Brandon, you're up. You have Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, and Trisha Yearwood, all Right.

Okay, I'm going audio Adrenaline. Great fourth pick.
Brandon
Oh, so 90s.
Bobby Bones

Does that count, or should you have to pick one? A specific one?
Eddie
No, it's got to be their show.

So Diamond Rio. Meet in the middle. Diamond Rio. I'm gonna get Lone Star in Diamond Rio. All their songs mixed up.
Brandon
Norma Jean Reilly.
Eddie
Oh, Norma Jean Riley.

Brandon
This Romeo ain't got Julie yet.
Eddie
Dude, that is so clever.

Eddie
So clever. You know when they were in the writers room and that one came out? They were doing that one.
Brandon
Let's go to lunch.
Bobby Bones
Okay, we got Brooks and Dunn, the Chicks, and Vince Gill. On my team, I gotta pick a number four here. I'm between two, and I really don't want to give Eddie someone to lean on.
Eddie
Give me someone to lean on. Come on.
Bobby Bones
I need to look up and see when this guy songs. Because you're right. It starts to be fuzzy.
Eddie
You worried about the 80s or the 2000s?
Bobby Bones
2000s.
Eddie
Oh, I got you.
Brandon
I know what he's thinking.
Eddie
I know what he's thinking.
Brandon
I know exactly.
Eddie
Yes, I do. Am I wearing flip flops?
Brandon
Ooh, you don't have a shirt on.
Bobby Bones
I already looked up Kenny, and I didn't feel like to me, it was, oh, I'm not a big enough Kenny guy. Especially early Kenny, for all those songs to resonate when I looked them up.
Eddie
Okay, all right.
Bobby Bones
I can tell you. I'll have to come back and tell you who I didn't pick. I'm just not gonna go with this person here, even though he's massive. I'm gonna go with. Tracy Lawrence.
Eddie
Oh, God.
Bobby Bones
You know what?
Eddie
I never had him on my list.
Brandon
Oh.
Bobby Bones
T Law for a couple reasons. One Arkansas guy, but, like, time Marches On. Paint me at Birmingham Alibis.
Eddie
Come on. Texas Tornado.
Bobby Bones
Sticks and stones. Find out who your friends are.
Eddie
Those are all just great songs.
Bobby Bones
Find out who your friends are. It's too late, but time marches on. 96. Alibis. 93. Sticks and stones. 91. Texas tornado. 94.
Eddie
I love that one.
Bobby Bones
Oh. So, yeah, I'm gonna. Oh. Just can't break it to my heart. 93. That's a champ.
Eddie
She got it so good.
Bobby Bones
All right, I'm going. Tracy Lawrence at number four.
Brandon
Oh, bro.
Eddie
Bro.
Brandon
If the good die young. You remember that song? Don't Give them. Giving me the good Die young.
Bobby Bones
Is that Tracy Lawrence?
Brandon
Yeah, dude.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Eddie
Wow. Didn't realize.
Bobby Bones
What year was that?
Brandon
93 on the alibis record.
Bobby Bones
You should have picked that one. Oh, I did, I guess.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's yours. Look at me. You did.
Emile Hirsch
Look what I did.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Eddie, you have Reba, Travis Trent, and Clint Black. Who will you be adding to your team?
Eddie
Yeah, I think I Have to pick this now. Even though I wouldn't pick him as a number four, if I don't pick him here, you guys are going to take him for sure.
Bobby Bones
It may have been who I was already thinking about.
Eddie
No, it's not.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
It's Joe Diffie.
Brandon
That's a good one. Joe Freaky.
Eddie
Was it on the radar at all for you guys?
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. It's possibly for a number fiver. Yeah, I had it in there. Joe Diffie I was a massive fan of for a couple reasons. One, I loved Third Rock from the Sun. Oh, so good pick up, man. Because they were funny as a kid, and I knew all the words of third Rock from the Sun. Can't sing them.
Eddie
Yeah, you can't.
Bobby Bones
But that's like Bare Naked Ladies one week. But the country version where if you knew all the words to that song. And Joe Diffie was awesome. And I got to know him a little bit later, but right before he died, he died from COVID And so when I got to know him, he wasn't sick. We had played, like, three Grand Ole Opry shows. Not together. We weren't on the same stage at the same time, but we played, like, near each other. So. And he came over and did early on to my house, and we did a Bobby cast. And when he died, it was crazy because he wasn't, like, sick or someone who had, like, put himself through a ton. And you thought, oh, man, this guy. So rest in peace, Joe Diffie.
Eddie
Glad we got to meet him for sure, dude.
Brandon
Funny story about Joe Diffie.
Bobby Bones
Did you write with him?
Brandon
He was one of my first mentors when I moved to town.
Bobby Bones
No way.
Brandon
Yeah. So I signed a publishing deal with a company. There was a guy named Lonnie Wilson. He plays drums. His son is Dallas Wilson, cousins of Lanie Wilson. Writes all those songs and stuff. But Joe Diffie would just drop by the studio and we'd write songs and all that kind of stuff. And he's like, hey, boys, you ever heard of the Jonas Brothers? And we're like, yeah, what about them? Apparently, they're big fans. We should write a Jonas Brothers song. Features Joe Diffie. And we did. Worst song you've ever heard in your life. Like, so bad.
Eddie
Never happened, huh?
Brandon
Never happened. Thank goodness. But, like, the sweetest guy on the planet. Yeah. Really, really nice guy.
Bobby Bones
I loved Prop Me Upside the jukebox because the video was amazing. Yeah. And it's. You know, they had that piano at the beginning, and at first it was like, you know, well, I ain't Afraid to die. Yeah.
Eddie
Don't sing so much. Don't sing so much and then dump. Don't. Don't.
Bobby Bones
Loved it, like loved that song in that video. This is CMT Prime. Joe Diffie was CMT prime for me, I think, because he had a bunch of character and that really translated in his videos as well. Any of you here? Yeah. John Deere Green on a hot summer night.
Brandon
Billy Bob and Love Charlene.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Eddie
Good stuff. I'm glad you guys like my pick.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we love Joe Dippy. Okay, Brandon, you have. This is it. One more pick. It's your 90s country team with Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio. Who will you be selecting at number five?
Eddie
This is your last pick.
Brandon
You don't have to pick. And this is a selfish pick. This was my all time favorite 90s country artist growing up, hands down. And I may get some haters for this or I may get some lovers. Mark Chestnut is my pick.
Eddie
Dude, Mark Chestnut was awesome.
Brandon
He was awesome.
Eddie
The nut.
Brandon
Dude. Just so many hit songs all over the 90s. Nothing screams the 90s country more than Mark Chestnut.
Bobby Bones
Okay, let's see. Let's look at his 90s library here. Which, by the way, didn't he record Friends in Low Places before Garth? He did, yes.
Brandon
And he also.
Bobby Bones
That shouldn't like Bubba shot the jukebox should come to mind first.
Eddie
Yes, but Friends in Low Places did to me. It's a big D and I don't mean Dallas.
Brandon
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
What comes to mind for you?
Brandon
Oh, well, mini sure is Monday. It's a little too late.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one.
Eddie
Yep, that's a good one.
Bobby Bones
1996 is a little too late.
Brandon
Yep. Too cold at home.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that one.
Brandon
Too cold at home.
Eddie
Okay, that's it.
Brandon
Oh, he said it's too hot to fish, too hot for golf, but it's too cold at home.
Bobby Bones
Oh, interesting.
Eddie
I like it. Clever.
Bobby Bones
The Jonas Brothers should sing now.
Brandon
Oh, man. Dude. Jonas Brothers smash.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Brandon's team is now complete. Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio and Mark Chestnut. For those that are watching here, we have it up on the screen on Netflix. If you're listening to the podcast, we'll keep reminding you.
Brandon
I gotta ask Dylan real quick. Do you know any of these artists or.
Bobby Bones
Dylan, how old are you? First of all?
Brandon
Just turned 26 in March.
Eddie
Congrats.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
He's a kid.
Bobby Bones
Dylan, do you know? Well, let's do it at the end. Okay, let's do it at the end. Let's walk through it. Dylan at the end. Don't be looking stuff up.
Brandon
Sorry, I was just super curious.
Eddie
We trust you, Dylan.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so I have one person left. So I have Brooks and Dunn, the Chicks, Vince Gill, Tracy Lawrence. Do you have your person ready, Eddie? Who are you going to go with?
Eddie
No. Nope, I don't. I have so much to choose from.
Bobby Bones
Like, I'm gonna talk mine out a little bit. You okay with me talking it out
Eddie
a little bit or. No, Absolutely.
Bobby Bones
My mom used to sing the Judds a lot, but I think there's so much 80s in that.
Eddie
A lot of 80s in there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because I really. I loved the Judds, but I think they're two 80s. I don't want to go with three bands, but you know who is just sorely. It's hard to say. Underrated, but just probably won't make you guys list. But they have so many Jams of Shenandoah.
Eddie
That's on my list for sure.
Bobby Bones
Like, I really. I'm thinking about putting them in, but I just don't want the.
Brandon
I thought you were gonna say the tractors.
Eddie
I love that one. Dude, the tractors are awesome. So.
Bobby Bones
Do you know who you're gonna go with next?
Eddie
Uh, I really don't.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to put you on anybody.
Brandon
That's the tough part. I feel like we can do that on our honorable mentions.
Eddie
I'm leaning towards someone, but I have three solid options left. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Let me look up this person's body of work in the 90s, because I feel like.
Eddie
It's a lot. Well, what are you looking at there? You looking at. Kind of like.
Bobby Bones
I like my team to be well balanced. I like to see what you guys miss, too.
Eddie
For sure.
Bobby Bones
Like, Eddie. I didn't miss. No, no, you're. No, you guys are good. I was gonna say there's. Is there any sexism on the board? But no, everybody at least has a female artist on the team. I mean, I've got three, but look at you.
Eddie
But to be fair, they're a band. They're in a band.
Brandon
So the one.
Bobby Bones
Because I'm just gonna talk, and if you take my person, that's fine.
Eddie
I won't. I don't worry about that. I have three that I'm already picking from.
Bobby Bones
You know who else is freaking great? Sawyer Brown.
Brandon
Yeah, they're on my list.
Eddie
Yep. What's the lead singer's name? Mark. Mark.
Movie Mike
Mark.
Bobby Bones
And the dude was an athlete. Like, college athlete.
Eddie
Mark. What?
Brandon
Mark Knopfler?
Bobby Bones
No, that'd be Dire Straits, right?
Brandon
Mark Miller.
Bobby Bones
Mark Miller.
Brandon
Mark Miller. Yeah, man.
Bobby Bones
Saw your Brown was awesome. It's just the band.
Brandon
I did used to think that the lead singer's name was Sawyer Brown. Yeah, I think most people did. Yeah.
Eddie
It's a normal.
Bobby Bones
Like the Race Is on, which was a remake that was 89.
Eddie
Oh, it was.
Brandon
How about Some Girls do.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Can't sing It.
Bobby Bones
My. One of my favorite Sawyer Brown songs is. It's hard not to sing it, but thank God for you.
Eddie
Oh, dude, so good. I want to sing it so bad right now.
Brandon
I know, dude, just let it go.
Bobby Bones
So just for those, I'll give you, like a piece of it. I wanna think that's it. No, not God.
Brandon
What a song.
Eddie
I wanna thank Mama no more.
Bobby Bones
Some Girls Do Six Days on the road, the Boys and me.
Eddie
Good stuff, man.
Bobby Bones
Sawyer Brown's awesome. I'm gonna go with Faith Hill after all that.
Eddie
I'm gonna go with.
Brandon
That's a good pick.
Eddie
Faith Hill.
Bobby Bones
I say, I say, I say saw ya. I say, I say Faith Hill chick.
Eddie
Okay. All right. Out of left field.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, it's who I was leaning on anyway. I just didn't want to say it. So with Faith, you get it's yous Love, you get this kiss, you get Breathe, you get Peace in Our Heart, which is the Janis Joplin.
Eddie
You get Wild One and you get Tim.
Bobby Bones
Then. Yeah, Tim shows up, plays a couple shows with me too.
Eddie
You get Tim McGraw a little bit.
Bobby Bones
The Bobby cast.
Brandon
We'll be right back.
Podcast Announcer

Podcast Announcer
Hey, Jonas is available now. And their first guest is a big one, Paul Rudd.
Bobby Bones
You know, Steve Carell is a great singer.
Brandon
Didn't he tell you not to audition
Bobby Bones

Eddie
We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?
Podcast Announcer

Bobby Bones
Great take over another country from iheart podcast. Saigon.
Brandon
Please allow me to introduce Joseph Schumann.
Bobby Bones
You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam? I should stop talking so much. I like hearing you talk. One city, a divided country and the war that tore America apart. This is for Vietnam. I've taken a hit from Japanese brown fire. Do you read me?
Crime Stories Narrator
They're pouring petrol all over him.
Podcast Announcer
He's holding matches.
Brandon

I'm Tyler McCall and this is Radio831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse, and what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn and obsess. We're going to Wuthering Heights, which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance age gaps, certain Russian hockey players, and sentient objects in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Bobby Bones
Welcome back to the Bobbycast. All right, Eddie.
Eddie
Gosh, now I have the field like I have everyone else left in 90s country to choose from. And that might. Might sound like an advantage, but it's not. It makes it way harder to choose. So my selfish pick would be Rick Trevino. I love Rick Trevino.
Brandon
That's a good one.
Bobby Bones
But.
Eddie
But no, I was a member of this fan club, Little Texas, but that would be my. That would be so selfish. I don't know if that would be.
Brandon
I. I made a selfish pick with
Eddie
Mark Chestnut I know, but Mark Chestnut still, dude.
Bobby Bones
He's classic of the 90s for sure. Little Texas Amy's back in Austin. God bless Texas.
Eddie
God bless Texas.
Bobby Bones
Kick a little.
Eddie
Oh, come on.
Brandon
Gotta kick a little.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Eddie
I love Little Texas. I'm gonna talk it out a little bit. When you said the Judds.
Bobby Bones
I know, dude.
Eddie
I'm like, why not go with Winona? Because Winona was miss 90s for sure. But then I'm leaning towards Dwight Yocum
Bobby Bones
because Dwight Yoko was on my list.
Eddie
Dwight Yocum, dude was so awesome.
Bobby Bones
So many great songs with his dance.
Eddie
Oh, I love Dwight Yoakum. And dude, you know, like I saw on TikTok, he can still sing.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Eddie
And still dance and act and act.
Brandon
Great actor.
Eddie
Dresses like he did in the 90s still with his bell bottom, with those pants, tight jeans with a pointed boots. So I'm gonna go with Dwight Yoakum.
Movie Mike
That's a good one.
Eddie
As my final pick.
Bobby Bones
This is a good one.
Eddie
Dwight freaking Yoakum, the heart and soul of Bakersfield.
Brandon
Bakersfield. There you go.
Bobby Bones
I was close to picking Toby Keith.
Brandon
Thought about that was up there on my list. And then, man, he's a good pick.
Bobby Bones
He had so many 2000s jams too, that I let that take me out of it. He had, you know, should have been a cowboy was 90 for Toby Keys.
Podcast Announcer
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But like a lot of his big, big ones were 2000s.
Eddie
I want to talk about me, but Kenny Chesney thought.
Bobby Bones
But again, same. I'm not an early Kenny guy. Kenny was really like that traditional country for a while till they kind of figured it out.
Brandon
My main honorable mention. I almost picked her. Martina McBride. She was 90s all day, man.
Eddie
She was. Yeah.
Brandon
Wow.
Eddie
Dena Carter thought about her, but really only like one really big smasher.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Album.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
Big album.
Brandon
You guys remember and I'm gonna have to say it right. Black Hawk.
Eddie
Why was he so careful with Blackhawk?
Brandon
Because if you say it fast, I
Bobby Bones
thought about throwing out like a Billy Ray Cyrus.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
At five. And he's known as a quote, one hit wonder. But in the country world, he had more hits than that. But his song was so big it crossed over. And that's what they're talking about when they say one hit wonder. But some gave all from Billy Ray Cyrus.
Brandon
That's a big song too.
Bobby Bones
Also the song about him getting thrown out of his house. I can sing every word to it. Hold on.
Brandon
Restraining limb of it.
Eddie
Yeah. Let's think. Not allowed back.
Emile Hirsch
No.
Brandon
My daughters hate me.
Eddie
Is that a. I Done messed up.
Bobby Bones
No, it's. Where am I gonna live when I get home? You know?
Brandon
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
That's.
Brandon
What a great line, man.
Eddie
Yeah, I don't know that one.
Bobby Bones
In the video he comes out and all the stuff's thrown out on the front. Front yard.
Eddie
Dude, for you so much of his videos.
Bobby Bones
Very much.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
It's true.
Eddie
Like, I think videos. What's his name? Not Steve Warner. Colin Ray had some good videos.
Bobby Bones
Colin Ray was somebody that was on my list. I didn't think we'd get to him. But definitely, I think, sorely underrated as one of the greater artists of the 90s.
Brandon
Some of the best songs came from Colin Ray. Yeah, his name was actually Bubba.
Eddie
If you guys know before I do what. Really?
Brandon
His real name was Bubba Ray. Bubba Ray. And the. The label guy was like, hey, man. So I go by Bubbling.
Eddie
Yeah. Colin.
Bobby Bones
Right?
Eddie
So was it still R A Y or. Or was it R A Y?
Brandon
R A Y with an E. Yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Love me, Love me.
Eddie
Great. If you get there before I do.
Brandon
Oh, dude, I'm gonna start crying.
Bobby Bones
Little Rock, which I was from Little Rock, but that song, that. It's that addiction.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we even had Little Rock. But also because he's like, I think I'm on a road here in Little Rock. Yeah, sorry. I wait and see One small day in Little Rock without you. Because he's like, I. I can't. I'll end up singing the melody. Can't do that. No, it's okay.
Eddie
Yeah, you don't want to go down that road.
Bobby Bones
That's my story. That's a good one. That's my story.
Brandon
What's the one, girl? Little Red Rodeo. You remember that Red Rodeo.
Eddie
I remember that one. Yeah. Was. Had some smashers.
Bobby Bones
We're all gonna bust a vessel trying not to sing these songs.
Eddie
I know. Hey, as soon as we're over, we're just.
Bobby Bones
Hey, 26 year old Dylan.
Brandon
Yes.
Bobby Bones
If I say Alan Jackson. Do you know a single song? Did you grow up listening to country music at all?
Brandon
A little bit. My parents really didn't listen to country music. My mom from Georgia.
Eddie
Right.
Brandon
Yeah, I am from Georgia. My mom didn't listen to music hardly ever. It's just not her thing. And my dad was rock.
Bobby Bones
We may be setting you up to fail then. I thought just because you're from Georgia, you'd have it around you. That and Ludacris and Outcast.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah, pretty much. And you know, you guys could have been drafting the US National Cricket Team.
Eddie
And I.
Bobby Bones
No different.
Eddie
To me, nothing sticks out there.
Brandon
I mean, yeah, obviously, the big names.
Bobby Bones
Do you know an Alan Jackson song? How about Chattahoo?
Brandon
Chattahoochee? Yeah, like the big, big stuff. I feel like. I know, but, like, when you're talking about the chicks, nothing.
Bobby Bones
No, I wish I know who he is. I. If I saw him, I'd recommend.
Eddie
I get that.
Brandon
I don't know any music of his. Tracy Lawrence, nothing. Faith Hill, nothing. Reba, of course, Reba.
Bobby Bones
You know, Tim McGraw. Can you name a song?
Brandon
No, probably not. Probably not.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Dang.
Eddie
I like it. I love it.
Bobby Bones
How about Morgan Wallen?
Brandon
Yeah, I mean, I can name his stuff.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
I feel like I'm kind of forced into that, though, just like nowadays.
Eddie
Oh, Bobby's forcing you.
Bobby Bones
What do you listen to now, though, if you were to go into your music now?
Brandon
A lot of startle Simpsons, a lot of Sturgill Simpson.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's country music.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Luke Combs, too. Yeah.
Brandon
My wife loves Luke's Combs. But you just saw Luke Combs and Neyland was that good show.
Bobby Bones
It was a great show.
Brandon
He always puts on a great show.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but that's a different environment when you're doing a whole stadium.
Brandon
It was a little tough.
Bobby Bones
It can be hard to connect points.
Brandon
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because of the. The visuals.
Brandon
And if, like, he went to the other side, forget about it.
Bobby Bones
Or lack thereof visuals. Good job, boys.
Eddie
We're gonna ask AI who won.
Brandon
Oh, great.
Bobby Bones
Oh, we just did.
Brandon
Wow. Go Eddie.
Eddie
Look at that.
Brandon
All right.
Bobby Bones
I don't believe in AI.
Eddie
What are you talking about? You love AI.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's a good point.
Eddie
Look at this.
Bobby Bones
AI has picked Eddie as the best overall team.
Eddie
I love it, AI. I love it.
Bobby Bones
The team feels the most like a 90s country hall of fame. Every single artist has a distinct identity. The biggest strength is massive radio hits, critical respect, traditional country credibility, crossover appeal and iconic personalities.
Eddie
AM.
Bobby Bones
There's also no reach pick. Brandon comes in at two from AI Allen McGraw, Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Mark Chestnut. Brandon may have the strongest top two artists. The roster probably wins. Listeners who prefer neo traditional country crossover. Still, this may actually be the best curated team. Oh, mine's the least cohesive. Yeah, we're not playing it. They're not on a team. I mean, I guess they are.
Eddie
It's a team.
Bobby Bones
I know, but I mean, we're not
Eddie
out, you know, basically saying, you're not going to win the super bowl with this team.
Bobby Bones
I don't think this team has the biggest mainstream appeal. Overall, Bobby's team.
Eddie
So you're like the Cowboys.
Bobby Bones
Brooks and Dunn might honestly be the best single pick available. Once Garth, Shania and George Strait were removed, the chicks were massive culturally and commercially. Vince Gill. Lalala. Lalala. Scrolling down. Tracy Lawrence, strong value pick, but compared to the depth. Oh, don't hate on Tracy Lawrence. Oh, Bobby could easily argue for number
Eddie
one after all that, though, it's like giving you a little cookie.
Brandon
Hey, Mike, did you add that last part in?
Bobby Bones
So keep scrolling down.
Brandon
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Is that just the teams?
Movie Mike
That's the teams again.
Bobby Bones
Dang. Well, good thing AI doesn't pick who
Eddie
won the last one.
Bobby Bones
Do we know the pop star draft?
Brandon
Yeah, I have to tally the votes on the story. Bobby's one.
Eddie
Huh?
Brandon
But there are a ton of votes in the comments that we need to tally.
Eddie
Okay. Oh, there's still tallying going on.
Brandon
Yeah, we're still counting the votes.
Bobby Bones
All right, that'll do her. Anything you want to say, Eddie?
Eddie
No, dude, that was just a lot of fun and tough. Tough to pick. It was a lot of great 90s artists out there.
Bobby Bones
Mostly it was tough to not sing every song. That was the hardest because also sometimes we need to have a word or two sang to us. We can remember it all. Okay, that's it. Thank you, guys for listening or watching. If you're watching on Netflix, we're gonna put these up. You can vote too, but we take our names off of it. We just say team one, team two, team three. Another thing was in the comments, people were going, no, that's not the team I would pick. And they were, like, picking from all three teams, making their own team. Oh, weird.
Eddie
No, no, no.
Bobby Bones
That's not how you do it. Once someone's taken off, you can't have them anymore.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
And then we did the picking. Brandon, I can't wait for you to go to your first concert.
Brandon
It's gonna be great. Any suggestions would be great.
Eddie
Whoever it is.
Brandon
Yeah, whoever. I don't care.
Bobby Bones
Did you never, like, have that conversation? Has it never been something you've talked about, like, first concert, man?
Brandon
Not really. Like I said, I went to a ton of, like, local shows, like, bands that would play, but, like, I don't know, man.
Bobby Bones
Do you remember the first girl you ever kissed?
Brandon
I do.
Eddie
What was her name?
Brandon
Her name was Melissa Marlowe, actually. Brennan Bailey.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so it's two. He knows every first, second, third girl he kissed, but he can't remember the first girl.
Eddie
You know the first girl I kissed. You know why I kissed her?
Brandon
Why?
Eddie
Because she Looked like Joe Montana.
Brandon
I remember that.
Eddie
I was in fifth grade, man, what do you expect?
Brandon
If there was ever that come up,
Eddie
though, I just kept that in my head. I never told her.
Bobby Bones
You're like, I want to do this because you look like Jo Montana.
Eddie
I just like, I want to be your boyfriend.
Brandon
Did you tell her that?
Eddie
No, Never.
Bobby Bones
But later in life, Nope. Because it probably would have hurt her feelings, too, to know she looked like Joe Montana.
Eddie
Until today, it would have.
Brandon
Have you seen her today?
Bobby Bones
A picture, you wonder?
Eddie
I pull it up. It is Jo Montana. Wow.
Brandon
What a lucky guy.
Bobby Bones
The first girl that I ever kissed, I believe I was in between 6th and 7th grade. I may get the age things mixed up, but I was in Kansas City. I was up there with my uncle, who had a roofing business, so I was helping him out in the summertime, and there were some other kids from some of the other people that worked with my uncle. And we were all in, like, the room of this house, and they were playing spin the bottle, and they were all my age or one year older. And I never kissed anybody. And it just never landed on me. Never landed on me. I was thinking, I'm gonna get out of this unscathed, because part of me wanted to kiss my first girl, but part of me was like, I don't want it to be here because I'm embarrassed and ashamed. And so it landed on me. I was like, oh, God, the next person is gonna be who I'm gonna have my first kiss with. I remember thinking this, and it spins and it lands on a girl that was across from me. And I remember when it landed on her, I saw her face and she goes, do I have to?
Brandon
Oh, man.
Eddie
My first terrible memory.
Bobby Bones
My first kiss was with someone who said, do I have to?
Eddie
But how was the actual kiss? Was it good?
Bobby Bones
I just remember being hurt in my guts. Cause I knew she didn't want to do it, but I did it. And, yeah, you had to.
Eddie
Dang, dude.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, man.
Eddie
Sorry we brought that up.
Bobby Bones
I know. That'll wrap up today's show. Thank you, guys. And we will see you guys soon. And don't forget, follow us. Hebobbycast.
Brandon
Oh, do I have to?
Bobby Bones
Social media.
Brandon
I know.
Bobby Bones
Do I have to?
Brandon
Hang tight. The Bobbycast will be right back.
Bobby Bones
Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We. We just contributed to First People to do podcasts.
Eddie
Pretty.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Pretty wide range of podcast, but this one's extra special. So how did we. How do we actually come up with the name hey Jonas? Guys, I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it and we were thinking. I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that. Guys, listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

And we're back on the Bobby cast. Okay, now I want to go over to this segment from Movie Mike's movie podcast. He had a really cool interview with actor Emile Hirsch. Emil's been in a bunch of big movies over the last 20 years. Into the Wild, which was a great book. Alpha Dog, which I loved. I believe Justin Timberlake was in that. Lords of Dogtown, once upon a time in Hollywood. Mike talks with Emil about growing up as a huge movie nerd and so forth. You're gonna hear all this. If you love movies. This is a podcast I would encourage you to check out and subscribe to. So here is Movie Mike with actor Emile Hirsch.
Movie Mike
Hey, Emil. I was super obsessed with my video store growing up. I would go all the time, rent as many movies as I can. Oftentimes in the early 2000s, they were a lot of your movies. What were your go to rentals as a kid? Because I heard you were also super obsessed with going to your video store.
Emile Hirsch
Oh, man, I was burning through so many different films at the video library in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I wish I. I wish I had the, like, the paper charts with all the titles I had each week filled out, because I filled up a bunch of those. And there were, you know, I mean, I would kind of burn through different genres. Sci fi, horror, drama. You know, I was. I was kind of like into. Into it all. There was like a lot of Peter Weir, Spielberg, Kubrick, you know, just. Just cool directors. I would like get into and want to watch all their stuff. A lot of action, kung fu. And, you know, I. I don't quite have Quentin's memory. I can't rattle off titles as easily as he can, but there was. There was a lot of them. And that was actually one of the things that Quentin and I originally bonded over, was just, like, mutual. It kind of like, think if you like, film, film, film. Nerd. He's cool with.
Movie Mike
You know, you mentioned Quentin. Was there anybody else that maybe you watched as a kid that ended up you being able to work with him later on?
Emile Hirsch
Well, to come back around to Speed Racer, I saw the Matrix in theaters when I was 13 years old, and that for me was like one of the. One of the big. I mean, that movie truly blew my mind. And to get to work with the Wachowskis all those years later was like, I couldn't have been more excited because it really was that intense of an experience for me in the theaters.
Bobby Bones
I was like.
Emile Hirsch
So anyway, I remember I ran home after the film and told my sister, I was like, you have to go see this movie right now. Like, then she went and saw it. She was like, thank you so much for telling. Like, she was like, thanking. You know, it's like it was like that kind of movie where you couldn't wait to tell someone to go see it.
Movie Mike
You've been a part of so many just defining movies of my lifetime. When people run into you in public, what do they recognize you from the most?
Emile Hirsch
To be honest, I don't really know. I don't think there's like a clear. There's not really like a clear one.
Movie Mike
Weirdly enough, I do find that odd.
Emile Hirsch
Yeah, weirdly enough, there's not like, sometimes it's. It's one movie and sometimes it's another, but there's not. There's not really, like, one that people are like, oh, you were in that. You know, I don't know, maybe Speed Racer will just gain more and more cult following and it'll be that.
Movie Mike
Of all the characters you've played, who do you think would have the best chance of beating Speed Racer in a race?
Emile Hirsch
Jay Adams from Lords of Dogtown.
Eddie
Yeah.
Emile Hirsch
He's gonna be the only one crazy enough to go for him.
Movie Mike
Did you know, like, immediately when you were a kid, like, I want to grow up, be an actor?
Emile Hirsch
Yeah, kinda. Yeah. I was really young. Like, really young. And I just. I don't know, I just was super into watching, like, in living color on TV when I was like, 4 or 5 and my parents probably didn't even
Brandon
know I was watch.
Emile Hirsch
Kind of fell in love with, like, Jim Carrey's wildness and hilarity and all that cast and then just watched a bunch of different TV shows and I don't know, I just got more and more, you know, really loving movies and performances and just, I don't know.
Brandon
It's weird.
Emile Hirsch
It's weird looking back on it now. It's been so long. But looking back on it, I remember I was, like, really into it. I was, like, really excited about every part of the process, you know.
Movie Mike
My final question, I was 16 years old, went into the wild, came out, they moved. Movie completely changed my life. I got really into transcendentalism. I read Walden by Henry David Thoreau at 16 years old because of how much that movie changed me. We were talking earlier about you taking away the family aspect from Speed. How did that movie change you as a person?
Emile Hirsch
I think it, you know, I think it, like, sort of made me a little bit more worldly, you know, traveling the world, being a part of this kind of international film, getting to meet all these actors from different parts of the world, getting to shoot it in Berlin, getting to work with incredible directors like the Wachowskis. And, you know, I feel like. I don't know, it's hard to know necessarily how it changed me because I. I don't have any. I don't have any alternative to compare it to in a certain sense. So it's like, it's hard to know. But I know that I'm extremely proud to have been a part of a movie that is that people are appreciating as much as they are, you know, and some movies that are great people, people never appreciate, you know, sometimes that just doesn't happen for a film. So it's really. It's very heartening to see this film that we cared so much about organically make this resurgence. You know, it's. It's not something that's, like, been manufactured.
Movie Mike
Well, it's awesome to see people loving the movie again. Really great to talk to you. I appreciate it.
Emile Hirsch
Thanks, Mike.

Number one hits, millions of records sold awards, sold out tours. You think the Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope. It's podcast time.

Whoa.

We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he.

He didn't listen to me right.

Listen to hey, Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Dani Shapiro and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secret. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
Eddie
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a
Brandon
majority black city in which there were
Eddie
more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.

Date: June 2, 2026
Host: Bobby Bones (with co-hosts Eddie and Brandon Ray)
In this lively episode of the Bobbycast, Bobby Bones is joined by regulars Eddie and Brandon Ray for a nostalgic deep dive into 1990s country music. The trio holds a playful draft, each selecting a five-person (artist) team of the greatest country stars from the decade. The only rule? They can’t pick the untouchable “top-tier” icons: Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Shania Twain. What follows is a passionate back-and-forth of picks, personal anecdotes, notable hits, and some good-natured ribbing, reflecting the hosts’ deep affection for ‘90s country.
The episode culminates in an “AI” verdict of who built the best team (spoiler: Eddie gets the crown), followed by a quick bonus segment from Movie Mike’s podcast interviewing actor Emile Hirsch.
[02:13] – [02:55]
Notable Quote:
Bobby Bones: “The only rule is there’s a tier we don’t get to draft—Garth, George Strait, and Shania Twain…They’re not on the board, so they’re out.” [02:38]
[03:03] – [08:08]
Quote:
Eddie: “I feel like I had to pick Reba because she was such a ‘90s country icon.” [07:20]
Through all rounds, the crew:
[44:14] - [46:42]
[49:05] - [50:10]
Quote:
Bobby Bones: “AI has picked Eddie as the best overall team.” [49:19]
Eddie: “I love it, AI. I love it.” [49:21]
[47:19] - [48:56]
Notable exchange:
Bobby: “If I say Alan Jackson, do you know a single song?”
Dylan: “Chattahoochee? Yeah, like the big, big stuff. But, like, when you’re talking about the Chicks—nothing.” [47:55]
[59:00] - [64:17]
Memorable moment:
Emile Hirsch: “Some movies that are great people, people never appreciate…It’s very heartening to see this film that we cared so much about organically make this resurgence.” [64:00]
