Segment 1: Going Viral and Dancing With the Stars Drama

[03:14 – 21:49]

Key Discussion Points

• Background of the Drama

  • Every year around October/November, Bobby receives a surge of criticism online as the Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) season nears its end, mainly because he won the show in a way some fans found controversial.
  • This year, ex-host Tom Bergeron mentioned Bobby's DWTS win as a particularly "shocking" outcome in a press interview, triggering a new cycle of attention.

• Mental State While Posting

  • Bobby was recovering from ankle surgery and was on pain medication, which he believes lowered his emotional defenses:

    “I don’t blame it on pain medicine at all, because I stand by everything I said. But just so you know where I was at, like mentally...” (04:18)

• Feelings About Tom Bergeron’s Comments

  • Although Bobby respects Tom immensely and credits him for support during the show, he was hurt by the public commentary:

    “My feelings were hurt because it was somebody that I, like, really respected and was also so great to me while I was there on that show.” (05:18)

• Sending Back the Mirrorball Trophy

  • Overwhelmed by negative associations, Bobby decided to return his DWTS trophy to ABC, inspired by Marie Kondo’s “spark joy” philosophy:

    “One of my heroes in life, Marie Kondo. If it doesn’t spark joy, get rid of it.” (07:40)

• The Viral Snowball

  • Bobby discusses the sensation of seeing a post go viral:

    “It’s really weird to slowly go viral… the next day, it’s over. It is like the biggest dump of water on you, and you’re like, oh, my God. Good or bad, you’re like, oh, my God. And then you go, oh. The next day you wake up and it’s completely gone.” (16:43)

• Intentions and Regrets

  • He stresses there was no ill will and he still loves the show, saying:

    “I love the show. I have nothing to say negative about the show or the people on the show or even Tom. Like, I think Tom is the greatest.” (17:51)

• Not Chasing More Attention

  • Declined invitations from other big podcasts to talk about the drama, not wanting to escalate the story:

    “I just don’t want this to seem like I was doing this specifically for attention because when I do things for attention, a lot of times it doesn’t get attention.” (18:27)

• Celebrity Culture & Social Media

  • Bobby reflects on the fleetingness of viral moments and explains why he chose not to capitalize on the attention.

Notable Quotes

• “That trophy does not make me feel good to look at. I don’t even want to put it away.” (06:53)
• “If they send it back to me, I will accept it loudly and proudly.” (17:23)
• “There have been years and years of people just, like, pounding me over doing nothing wrong.” (08:10)

Memorable Moments

• The analogy to Marie Kondo’s philosophy
• Bobby’s vulnerable admission of being “a little bit emo” on pain medication
• Comparing the fleeting virality to a coach getting “water dumped on them” after a big win (16:43)

[19:00] Eddie and Bobby Reflect on Show’s 20th Anniversary and Missing the Special Due to Injury

• Light banter about missing the DWTS anniversary episode due to Bobby’s foot and TV subscription issues.

Segment 2: Famous Country Songs That Never Hit #1

[25:05 – 54:13]

Format

Bobby and Eddie count down famous country songs that, despite their ubiquity, iconic status, or enduring popularity, never actually reached number one on the country charts.

Key Insights & Discussion Points

How Charting Has Changed

• Number ones used to signify massive success but are now diminished by chart politics, streaming games, and fragmented radio play.
• “Number ones now are high price hookers... Instead of like a girlfriend that you have for many, many weeks and that you invest in.” (27:57, Bobby Bones)

Standout Songs Discussed (selections & highlights, not the full list):

1. “Whiskey Lullaby” - Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss (peaked at #3)

   • Universally loved classic, “One of the saddest songs ever written in the 2000s. Maybe the best song of the 2000s.” (28:47)

2. “Heads Carolina, Tails California” - Jo Dee Messina (peaked at #2)

   • Blocked by “My Maria” (Brooks & Dunn).
   • Eddie jokes it should have been a “ten weeker.” (29:59)

3. “Fancy” - Reba McEntire (peaked at #8)

   • Surprising due to its iconic status. Discussion of how song content could limit radio play.

4. “Life is a Highway” - Rascal Flatts (peaked at #18)

   • Never released as an official single, just happened to be a huge airplay and streaming hit due to the movie "Cars". (34:28–34:51)

5. “Red Solo Cup” - Toby Keith (peaked at #9)

   • Written off as a joke song, became a massive party anthem and signature Toby song.

6. “Crazy” - Patsy Cline (peaked at #2)

   • Blocked by Leroy Van Dyke’s 19-week #1 “Walk On By.”
   • “Crazy, which was famously pinned by Willie Nelson, has not only become Patsy Cline's signature song, but one of the most iconic songs in the history of country music.” (38:22)

7. “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” - Shania Twain (never #1 in US)

   • Was #1 in New Zealand, never hit the top in the U.S.

8. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” - Garth Brooks (peaked at #2)

   • Blocked for seven weeks by other major songs.

9. “Amarillo By Morning” - George Strait (peaked at #4)

   • Despite being Strait’s signature track, never a #1—a major surprise to both hosts.

Honorable Mentions

• “Let me tell you one thing about this town. It ain’t good hearts running around.” (54:41, Bobby, on Nashville’s hit-making machine)

Running Jokes and Banter

• Extended riff on the “hooker” metaphor for number one songs.
• Eddie repeatedly dubiously rates how many weeks each song “deserved” at #1.
• Bobby and Eddie's banter about chart rules:
  “It would be a little more fair if like was, like, Ric Flair. To be the man, you gotta beat the man. And I am the man.” (53:55, Bobby)

[54:13 – 62:39]

Focus: Leroy Van Dyke and Vintage Country Stardom

• “I called my brother… he didn’t even know that. Same thing with him. He’s like, yeah, I think he died in a plane crash. Well, let me tell you, bro.” (62:21, Eddie)

---

Final Banter: Leroy the Cousin, Music and Identity

• Eddie explains his cousin named Leroy is “half Korean, half Mexican—of all the Leroys I’ve ever known, he looks the least like you’d expect.” (63:10, Bobby)

[Bobby Bones]

All right, welcome to episode 555 of the Bobby Cast. Coming up in a few minutes, we'll talk about big country songs that actually never were number one, which is pretty crazy. Eddie will join me for that. I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about this week, especially all the Dancing with the Star stuff that's happened because I definitely didn't think that was going to go super viral. It's weird when something goes a bit viral because it's like a snowball. I'd made that video and a couple things I. One was on a crazy amount of pain medicine, which I have been. And you can see if you're watching a video. I. I am in a full cast because I had to have surgery on my ankle and it's been killing me. So I don't blame it on pain medicine at all because I stand by everything I said. But just so you know, where I was at, like, mentally, every year about this time of the year, I would say mid October to early November. There's always someone on that show, which there should be, who isn't the best dancer, but that America, like gets behind and roots for every year this happens. And it's awesome. And it's really what that show's about. That show's. It wasn't made so the best dancer can win. It's made so the best dancer mixed with the most likable person. Let's figure it out. It's like life. Like in life, the person that's most qualified for the job doesn't always get the job. It's the person who's really qualified, but also who the person who's hiring wants to hire because they want to be around them. You know, that's very much what life is about. It's about be somebody who people like. And then also, can you do the job? Yeah. Can you get better at the job?

[Eddie]

For sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Like when I hire for positions, I don't always hire based on what the person can do right then. But one, do I like being around them? And then two, can they grow into that position even in a way different than they probably think or I think they can now. So around this time, every single year, I just hit my social media and it is non stop just people ripping into me for no reason other than I'd won that show years before. And I have pretty thick skin. I have very thick skin because Every day I say stuff and people kind of come in me in dms and comments. All good. So it was no different this year, except for Tom Bergeron had kind of jumped in and added to the mix for some reason. And the reason is he was going back on the show after he had been fired. And I love. I still love Tom. And so he was doing press, and I saw what he said. He had done, like, 20 interviews, and they had asked him, what's one of the more shocking eliminations? That was the question. It was nothing about who won that shouldn't have. And he immediately flipped it. And he was like, I don't know. But I tell you who shouldn't have won. Who. I was shocked by that one. And it wasn't even that, because I was shocked that I won, but it was the facial expressions, the ouches, the. Because nowhere in that interview did he allude to, well, it's because of the judging and what's weighted and what's not. Like, that's what's been said since then. But that's. That's really not what he meant. But my feelings were hurt. And I just said this. I didn't say I was mad. It's. My feelings were hurt because it was somebody that I, like, really respected and was also so great to me while I was there on that show. Like, he was the greatest. He was like the one person, because Aaron Andrews wasn't there that much. She was doing NFL, she was doing. You know, she had other jobs other than Dancing with the Stars. And at the time, those were the two hosts. And so he was there a decent amount. And we would talk about all kinds of stuff, just broadcasting, like, he's an old broadcaster, had done a bunch of TV shows. I was, you know, working on Idol. I was getting ready to start doing a show on Nat Geo. And so I would ask him for advice, and he was generous with his time and his answers. So when he said that, that one hit me a little different. And so I just remember waking up and being like, dang, this sucks. And I had that trophy, and I've had the trophy, and it used to be in the house, and I would always keep it somewhere really annoying in the house. And then I got married, and my wife's like, do we have to put the trophy right here by the front door? And I was like, good point. So then I moved it down to our studio. And every year when this would happen, I would start to feel like, man, that this trophy does not make me feel good. And so I Packed it up, and I gave it to my assistant. I still had the box that it was in. And I said, hey, just mail this back to abc, because it does not make me feel good to look at. I don't even want to put it away. And, yeah, it was a little bit. It was for. For drama, for sure, but it made me feel good. And one of my heroes in life, Marie Kondo. If it doesn't spark joy, get rid of it. One of my top heroes, for sure. Shout out Marie. That's her name, right? Marie Kondo.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. So sent it back, and I got on my phone, and it was. I wasn't mad, and I was just like, dang, what was I supposed to do? Like, every year, all these people come at me over and over again. Now, granted, I had taken pain medicine probably hours before for my foot, so I was probably a little bit emo. And I've never drank, never had a drink of alcohol. But people say when you drink, a lot of times, you're just a louder, more real version of yourself. And I think I allowed my feelings to get hurt because I was just. Those pills had allowed my senses to feel, and so my feelings were hurt because Tom had done that. There have been years and years of people just, like, pounding me over doing nothing wrong. It wasn't even an opinion that I had, because that happens a lot. Where I have an opinion or I say something, people get mad at me. And sometimes it comes back years and years, and I'm fine with that because I did that. Like, I had the opinion that I either pissed people off or made people happy with this. I just did what was asked of me. Go on the show, win. And not only did I win again, I was told by multiple executives at that network, it was the largest gap from first to second place in the history of the show. And I've even seen some people go, well, yeah, because you used your audience. Of course, so did people with way more followers on social media that would get on and every show, every day and be like, vote for me. Vote for me. Everybody used their audience. That's the point of that show. They want people to get their audience to watch and to vote. So did that. Mail the trophy back, made the video, and then it's really weird to. To slowly go viral. So I post it. I don't think much about it, Mo. And mostly, I don't think much about anything because, again, I've been kind of in a weird stage of just being in pain with my foot and the day that I posted that, I did the radio show. And then I had a couple of interviews, and one of them was with Phil Rosenthal, who's going to come up next week on this podcast. Phil was awesome. Phil Rosenthal is the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond. He has a show called Feet Don't Feed Phil. Feed Phil. Somebody feed Phil. Thank you. It's a great show. But now he's got a cookbook, too, called. He's got a lot of Phil Things. Right now I'm confused on. On which one's which. But he came by and we talked about a lot of things, and the interview went like an hour and a half. In that hour and a half, I look at my phone, and that video has now gotten hundreds of thousands of views on Instagram. Hundreds, thousands on TikTok. And I'm like, oh, wow, this thing got some traction now. I wasn't ashamed in any way for what I said because I didn't take any shots at anybody. I wasn't mad at anybody. I just said that the process has removed my joy towards that show, which it was completely joyous. It was very hard, but it was really one of the great things that I feel like I've done. All the negativity has come in the years afterward, and really the most is when Tom Bergeron had said that just because my feelings were hurt for no other reason. So I'm like, wow, this is get. Then I see, like, e. Pick it up, and I'm like, oh, wow, okay. Then people. Then Yahoo. Then I got a whole list of them, and then it just started to. To blow up. And it's. It's starting to be everywhere. Then friends are texting me like, hey, did you see this? I. I'll share the story. Doesn't matter. I had a meeting yesterday afternoon with a pretty. I want to say, a successful television producer, somebody that I knew of but didn't know personally, but I knew of because they've had a bunch of success in a specific area. And so we'd set up this meeting weeks ago. We get on. We get on the. The zoom, and the first thing they say is, I saw you in the news today. And I was like, yeah. They were like, what was that all about? I told them the whole story, and it just becomes such a present part of your day. Anytime I go to my phone, it's a text. I'm full of notifications. But again, I then would watch the video back. And most of the time, I don't watch videos back. Just to make sure I Didn't say something that I would regret or say something where I was angry because I wasn't angry at anybody. And then, like, people that haven't heard from in a long time, then, like, artists start reaching out. Then in. The real weird part about going viral is the next day, it's over. It is like the biggest dump of water on you, and you're like, oh, my God. Good or bad, you're like, oh, my God. And then you go, oh. The next day you wake up and it's completely gone because the news cycle is totally flipped. And so that's what it's like today as I'm recording this. I'm glad it's over. I never really meant it to be anything more than it was. I do see now what the headline was, was. And it's funny that I sent the mirrorball trophy back. That's funny. It reminds me of Reggie. Reggie Bush when they took the Heisman from him, except they didn't take the trophy from me. I was just like, I don't really want this around. Doesn't make me feel good. And I think it'll be a funny, dramatic thing to do to send it back, because, you know what? If nobody really wants me there? You know, I don't have to be there. And I try not to talk about it unless it's right when they announce the cast, because that's when I get asked the most about it, because I never want to be the guy that's just like, yep, want to dance with the stars all the time. Also, because I think there were these negative. I know there were these negative thoughts and feelings about me winning, but I didn't cheat. I didn't manipulate the system. Even with the new version of how they are judging it, you know, their. Their weighted rules. I would win again with what happened then. A lot of it, too, was the cast. All the casts are different. All the soup is cooked. Different every single year. But I'm saying, if it was the same exact cast put out this year with their new weighted rules, I would still win again based on that situation. But I love the show. I have nothing to say negative about the show or the people on the show or even Tom. Like, I think Tom is the greatest. And if Tom was like, hey, I want to come on the podcast. Let's go. Love to talk to you, but that's why I put the video up. And then I just want to explain kind of what it was like when you go and something happens and it goes viral, it feels again, you know, we see a coach get water dumped on them, they're like, oh, yeah, that's what it feels like. Because you're like, oh, I didn't really expect this to happen. Oh, crap. I also didn't make any other videos about it. And I think had I started going, oh, let me take this momentum and keep building on it, I felt like that would be a bit disingenuous for me to, like, comment on what I said that now everybody's commenting on. So I don't want to say anything else about it because that wasn't the point. The point was to just share how I felt. The point was to share what I did about it. And it wasn't to continue making content about it. But I made this part of the video because, one, well, I'm doing an intro for the full podcast and two, to just kind of explain what it feels like to go viral. And this is not a viral, though, in a way that lasts for, like, years. I think people will probably remember this and I'll probably ask about it in interviews for other projects. And I'm happy to talk about it because again, I don't feel like anybody got hurt from this. So, yeah, that's what's up. Still love the show. Still love my time on the show. I just was probably on pain meds and probably got my feelings hurt more than I normally would because I think the walls were down a little bit. But, yeah, it sucked. No, it really sucked. But I don't dislike Tom Bergeron at all. Like, I think my old phone has his number on it. My new phone. I don't have as many numbers in this phone. And last night I thought I should go check the old phone and see if I got a text from Tom because I think Tom and I had texted a couple times because he had given me his number. Like, that's how great he was. He was like, if you ever need anything, never thinking, well, what I need is for you to shut up. So I need to go and check. Because what will really suck is if I go check that phone and there's like all these texts from people going like, hey, man, I just want to reach out and say sorry.

[Eddie]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

And I, I did. I know where that phone is. And the only reason I even keep it with that old number is because there are some things that I like. Sometimes they have to get a text back to a certain number. If I'm logging into something like the, the. The multi factor authentication. I think I still have like two accounts where that's the Case. And so I keep that phone. And I was going to get up, but my foot hurt so much, I was like, I'm not getting up right now to go get that phone. So all this to be said, I just wanted to address it after the fact. I did get invited on some really cool podcasts to talk about it, and I said no, because I don't want to make this any more dramatic than it already is. And I don't think me doing this is dramatic either. This is my own and little avenue I get to create and drive on. And also, it's not so dramatic that I dislike anybody for it. So that's what's up. Love, everybody. Love doing the show. Sent the trophy back. And here's the thing. If they send it back to me, I will accept it loudly and proudly. That would be kind of funny. Mike, before we jump over to the other part, any questions? Did you reply to Tom at all? And for. No. I saw his. His Instagram post and then I just didn't want to create any more conflict, even in an. In a comment section. So I can. Today, I think it. Now everybody's moved on. I kind of. I think I will reply to Tom today. It's a good point. I haven't thought about that. I just saw where he said, hey, sorry for pouring salt in the wound that I know happened after you won. The thing is, I would. I would win. I would go and do the show for the first time and try to win again. I don't know that I would do the show again right now, knowing everything that I know. But I only did it originally because American Idol asked me to do it. I never was like, I gotta be on Dancing with the Stars. So I think today, though, I will go and post a comment underneath where he wrote that. Where he wrote like, hey, sorry. So, no, I haven't, but I will. Anything else? How cool a podcast were you invited on?

[Eddie]

I want to know.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it was just some podcasts that I think are really cool. Okay. Yeah. Like that I, like, listen to or that I know have massive followings. And I just don't want this to seem like I was doing this specifically for attention because when I do things for attention, a lot of times it doesn't get attention. So it's one of these random things where I posted this and just made a quick video because I was affected by what Bergeron had said in that Parade magazine interview and interviewed Phil Rosenthal. I was like, oh, boy, we're getting some traction here. Yeah, it really wasn't like the intention or anything. So that's what's up. Love, everybody. I would have gone to the 20th birthday if my foot wasn't hurt. Like, I had plans to go to that. I had plans even once I knew I was having surgery, which if you listen on the show, I was like, man, can I still go? I. I realized I can barely move around the house, much less get on an airplane, get an Ubers, be in la. So I would have even gone to. That was a cool episode. Yeah, I don't. I don't have it. I get to watch it because you know why? Because YouTube TV, it doesn't have Disney and it can't watch ESPN. I can't watch ABC. I saw some clips of it, but I missed it. Do they do it in Memoriam? Yeah, they show me. They did not show you. They show me with my foot up, propped up with a thumbs up. I imagine the in memoriam was a lot on Lynn. He was at the very end. So they showed, like everybody who had been on who's passed away were there a lot. It was a good amount. You're kind of surprised. I say at least maybe eight or nine people. Wow. And then because the show hasn't been on 100 years, it's been on 20. Yeah. Some of those people you forgot died. Like Suzanne Summers. They used to do that show twice a year. Like used to go one season and they just start the next one. So they would do two, which is why there's been 30 plus seasons in 20 years and they used to do two episodes every week. I think we had two episodes where they would do the whole competition. Then you vote and the next night is like a. I'm not sure if we had two. Maybe we only had one. I think it was just one. Maybe. So maybe we were one of the first seasons to do one. But they used to have two episodes where they would do the eliminations and have like some dancing, but not really part of the competition. That second night, that's when the show was really popping. But the show is really popping again and it's super cool to see. So how will this shake out? Who knows? That's all I got. Let's enjoy the rest of the podcast. Thank you all for being here. Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

[Bobby Bones]

I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait.

[Podcast Announcer]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[AI Assistant]

We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little.

[Eddie]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

Booking.com booking. Yeah. That's booking.com booking, yeah. And we're back on the Bobby cast. All right, we're going to talk about famous country songs that never went to number one. And I would ask you the question, do you think this one went to number one? But the answer is no, because they.

[Eddie]

All didn't go to number one.

[Bobby Bones]

To all of them. So we'll start at number ten. Number ten never went to number one. Whiskey Lullaby, Brad Paisley and Allison Kraus.

[Eddie]

Wow. What a shame.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, and that's a ballad. That's going to be all these. There's a difference, though, in times and songs being number one. I think back in like the 50s and 60s and 70s, number ones were a massive deal. That translated, I think in the 90s and 2000s, number ones were a big deal. But there are a couple eras where number ones really weren't that big of a deal because there were like five different charts. It was like in college football when there were like seven different national champions.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they had all these polls. Even now, if you get a number one on the radio, that's big, but it's not near as big as it was 10 years ago because there are all these other outlets as well. Like you could. Satellite could say there's a number one. They just make that up. Radio number one. And there's a lot of politics involved in the number one in radio streaming. Well, we're the biggest streamer, but people buy bots in order to get streams. So there's so much to say about a number one. Now you just kind of take it and it's just a plaque you put on your wall and you can say you got a number one, but it really doesn't mean as much.

[Eddie]

What goes into being a number one. Like what?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now there's like 11 different things.

[Eddie]

Say, like say 10 years ago, like.

[Bobby Bones]

You said, for the most part radio, Radio play. And what was so important about 90s and 2000s is they would actually allow a song to stay number one for three, four, five, six, seven weeks. Yeah, that really doesn't happen often now because it's such a political game of people just kind of trading out number.

[Eddie]

One shar the number one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it really is. Like if there's a multi week number one even for two weeks, big deal. Hardly ever is there a three or four week number one. But there used to be like 11 week number ones in country music. Wow. Because it just was that dominant of a song and unless you could come take down the champ. It was always a weird thing to me with number ones, even in my time in Nashville that it would be number one for a week and then go away. People don't just love a song the most for one week. Right. If it's a number one song and it's loved, it's got a few weeks shelf life until something else comes up and is now the new loved song people don't just love for a week.

[Eddie]

And I remember artists would say like, oh yeah, we wrote that song three years ago. We recorded it two years ago. I've been playing it live for two years straight and it just became a number one.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's because it takes a long time for promotion teams to get radio to play it and build spins up and it has started overnights and then it has to. But that wasn't always the case. And I feel like now it's like I don't know much about getting prostitutes, but actually I know very little.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's better. That's a better way of putting.

[Bobby Bones]

Actually I know. Actually I know nothing except for like what I hear from Charlie Sheen.

[Eddie]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

But now it's almost like buying a hooker because.

[Eddie]

Oh, interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

You just get a. Get a hooker and you're on to the next. That's like what a number one is now. It's a good hooker.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're on to the next instead of like a girlfriend that you have for many, many weeks and that you must. Yes, yes. Number ones now are high price hookers. I said it.

[Eddie]

Dude. We don't even talk about that girl. Because.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and. And some hookers are better than others. And you remember when you tell your friends about them, some number one songs are actually memorable. But There are some by some artists and you're like, I barely even remember that song.

[Eddie]

How do songs become classics then when the number. The hookers just keep revolving because they're great.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they're great songs and they organically leave an impression on people. Like that's how songs become classics. Because all these are classics without being number ones. Yeah. Whiskey Lullaby. Brad Paisley, Alison Krause.

[Eddie]

What year was this?

[Bobby Bones]

2004, I think. You know that song? Universally loved. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. Not just country music, but of all time. One of the saddest songs ever written in the 2000s. Maybe the best song of the 2000s. I did win song of the year at the CMAs in 2005. It did fail to reach number one. It peaked at number three. Now, Tim McGraw, some of this is timing too. Tim McGraw had one of those rare multi week number ones with a song that still matters, that people still sing in reference. Can you name that song? It was a five week number one.

[Eddie]

Five week number one from Tim McGraw.

[Bobby Bones]

I would bet when you heard this song you went, that is an amazing song. And I felt that.

[Eddie]

Don't take the girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. Later.

[Eddie]

I felt that. I do that with something like that. But I know that's not the answer.

[Bobby Bones]

It's an emotional song.

[Eddie]

Oh. Live like you were dying. Of course. Yeah, man. And again, that's one that we will be singing forever and referencing forever. Like I still reference F all the time for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Number nine. Heads Carolina tells California. Dang.

[Eddie]

That should have been a number one. A ten weeker.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you going to say this after everyone? I just want to know now if you are.

[Eddie]

No, cuz I wouldn't have put Brad paisley as a 10 week.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it. But, but, but it was. Should have been a number one.

[Eddie]

Should have been a number one. But Ted's Carolina.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so that's what you're going to do. You're going to say how many weeks you think it should have been.

[Eddie]

Okay. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fair. So heads Carolina tells California two months straight. You think it's at least an eight to ten week.

[Eddie]

Dude, it's such a jam. Like so, so good.

[Bobby Bones]

It is a 90 standard when we think of 90s country music. Still one of the most iconic hits of the decade. When I think of Jody Messina, this is the song. Although she does have other great songs that remind you of that decade. It peaked at number two. It was blocked by Brooks and Dunn. My Maria.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. Well, I get it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Timing gets weird with some of these, too. Yeah. Number.

[Eddie]

And. And that's what you're referring to, you know, with like. You got to take down the champ. Taking down my Maria must have been so hard.

[Bobby Bones]

This was one. Number ones. Were number ones. Yes.

[Eddie]

How are you gonna take that one down?

[Bobby Bones]

Number eight, fancy by Reba.

[Eddie]

Oh, fancy. I'd put fancy a five week number one.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd put like a 30 weeker.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, Too dark.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Dude, she's sending his.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, hooker.

[Eddie]

She's sending her daughter out.

[Bobby Bones]

We've already done too many hooker, hooker dogs here. So that was a cover. You know that, right?

[Eddie]

I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

From 1969, Bobby Gentry. Reba's interesting because Fancy's a cover. And what's her other cover?

[Eddie]

The Lights Went out in Georgia the Night.

[Bobby Bones]

Vicki Lawrence.

[Podcast Announcer]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Both cover songs.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

So Reba's cover of the 1969 Bobby Gentry track has become, I think, Reba's most signature song, would you say?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I would like.

[Bobby Bones]

If you were like, name a Reba song. Her famous song, Go Fancy. I think I go fancy.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

And so it was released again in 1991 by Reba. Hundreds of millions of streams. It only reached number eight. Wow.

[Eddie]

What a shame.

[Bobby Bones]

1991. Probably because of what the song was about. Yeah. And some people, if you just get a few people that don't commit to it, just a few that are like, I don't really believe that should. I don't believe that should be on the radio.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Were these the days where people would call the radio station? Why are you playing that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

I have my kids in the car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Like, the kids are really listening to the. The storyline.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I didn't listen to any stories. If I did, man, there'd have been a lot of songs. Back in our day, I was probably.

[Eddie]

Singing this song word for word when I was a kid.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a song by Jordan Knight when he went solo. And I was probably 18 or 19, and I sang it all the time. I never really. I might have even been younger. I never even knew what I was singing. But it was like, baby, you know, I will give it to you. Never knew.

[Eddie]

You're like, okay, I'm just giving something to her.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a gift.

[Eddie]

Yeah, something.

[Bobby Bones]

Or the one I really think about was, baby, when we're grinding, I get so excited. Next, Too close. It was all about having a boner.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And dancing with somebody.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you remember that song?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't hide it makes it real. I never knew that I was just singing Along.

[Eddie]

I used to sing I wanna you like an animal and you probably thought.

[Bobby Bones]

That was like cleaning a deer.

[Eddie]

I had no clue what I was singing.

[Bobby Bones]

Rascal Flats. Life is a Highway.

[Eddie]

Oh, cover.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Do you know the artist? Oh, God.

[Eddie]

Is it? Gosh, I don't know. I'm thinking Joe Walsh. It's not Joe Walsh. It's. A Joe. Joe something.

[Bobby Bones]

Tom Cochran.

[Eddie]

Tom Cochran. I would have gotten there eventually.

[Bobby Bones]

So this song was never even a single.

[Eddie]

It was done for the movie Cars.

[Bobby Bones]

And then people just started playing it.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

There was never like a concerted effort and you don't get a number one unless there's very much a concerted effort because you got to get these promotional teams to make sure that all these stations are playing it at the same amount at the same time. Wow. So it was a cover of that song for Cars. Massive crossover too for those guys because they were pop. This was a pop song. It was one of the most streamed country songs still is. But because it was not a single, it hit number 18. And also they had My Wish that was the real song at the same time. And so when you got two songs going and you got one song, everybody's pushing, that one was just getting played as like a secondary song. And my wish was, well, the number one song.

[Eddie]

Wow. Yeah. And Cars was such a huge movie that it made the song huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Tom.

[Bobby Bones]

As a cover of Tom Cochran's 1991 single for cars, I guess Cars was probably, If I'm guessing, 2005, 2006. Oh, so close.

[Eddie]

You were right there.

[Bobby Bones]

So close.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The original Life is a Highway feels like it's from like the 70s, is it not 1991.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's crazy. I would have put it 70s too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I literally just read that again as a cover of Tom Cochran's 1991 single. Wow. Yeah. Oh, Red. Blake Shelton.

[Eddie]

Nah. I mean, I wouldn't even put it as a number one.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree.

[Eddie]

I don't know why. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. It's just not one of my favorites.

[Bobby Bones]

I like it. But it's a George Jones song originally, right? I don't think that's written. I. I'm fairly certain it was a George Jones cover. Yeah. 1990 Blake Shelton put out All Red, one of his self proclaimed signature songs. Despite the song being used heavily by Blake Shelton both on stage and in marketing, the song was shockingly not even a top 10 hit. Mike. Was it originally by George Jones?

[Eddie]

It was. That's interesting. It said self proclaimed because Yeah, I mean, I guess no one's. I wouldn't put that as his number one signature song.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but back then he didn't have a bunch of signature songs.

[Eddie]

Some beats.

[Bobby Bones]

That's early black. No, that's pre. That.

[Eddie]

Oh, Old Reds. Pre.

[Bobby Bones]

Some Beach, I would assume. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, and Austin. Pre Austin too.

[Bobby Bones]

Austin was first.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

My years are getting mixed up because I don't even know when George Jones put it out. George Jones might have put it out. He put it out in 1990. Okay. And Blake Shelton put it out when? 2000. 2002.

[Eddie]

I mean, that is, it's. It's. I mean, he's got restaurants named Old Red.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, he has made it his staple song that he's known for.

[Bobby Bones]

Number five, Toby Keith, Red Solo cup.

[Eddie]

Oh, man, that's a ten. That's a ten weeker for me. Oh, yeah, I love that song.

[Bobby Bones]

It peaked at number nine. Never hit number eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, or one.

[Eddie]

That's funny. We. And we talked about. One of the writers, Jim Beaver is talking about how it was just a dumb, funny song that they wrote.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was kind of a throwaway, goofy song. And they recorded it like in their own little room and you hear even like Jim and the writer and stuff yelling in the background and Toby just sang over like the track they had already created.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So cool.

[Bobby Bones]

They didn't even go, really go back into the studio and recreate it and ended up being the one.

[Eddie]

You think that would be his. His staple song?

[Bobby Bones]

Should have Been a Cowboy.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

I just said that without thinking.

[Eddie]

But I mean, for sure should have Been a Cowboy is.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Toby keeps a big one. I think there's. I think Toby Keats an artist though, that has eras. So I think should have Been a Cowboy.

[Eddie]

That's the. That's the bolo era.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think courtesy of the red, white and blue, the 911 era.

[Eddie]

911American era era.

[Bobby Bones]

And then funny. Toby is either Red solo cup or. Or. Oh, like about me. No, I don't see. No. Should have Been a Cowboy is his most streamed song.

[Eddie]

It is.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think to me that would be the quintessential Toby song, but I wouldn't fight you over it.

[Eddie]

I saw a cool video of like back in the 90s where he's singing it to. To Troy Aikman's just sitting there like kind of weird. It's awkward for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

It's way before the song was a too. And I know what it's like for somebody to play me a song they wrote. What do you do? You have to bob your head.

[Eddie]

And that's what Troy was doing. He's like, all right.

[Bobby Bones]

Troy's in like a cut off T shirt. Like he's about to go work out.

[Eddie]

Like it just got out of practice.

[Bobby Bones]

Number four, Crazy by Patsy Klein.

[Eddie]

Oh, crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Crazy, which was famously pinned by Willie Nelson, has not only become Patsy Klein's signature song, but one of the most iconic songs in the history of country music. Often being referred to as an era defining song. I agree with that. Yeah, big time Klein never went number one, peaking at number two with Crazy. It was blocked by Leroy van Dyke's massive 19 week number one song, Walk on by, which would remain the longest running number one country song in the chart for over 50 years. Hold on until Florida Georgia Line broke it. I'm glad at least somebody good broke it.

[Eddie]

Good. With Cruise. With Cruise, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

With Cruz.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm glad at least somebody with some substance ended up breaking that 50 year record.

[Eddie]

I was thinking the same thing, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, when they put Nelly on it, can't stop it. That's the thing. If.

[Eddie]

What song is that?

[Bobby Bones]

Leroy Van Dyke would have put Nelly on Walk On By. That thing would have had another five weeks of life.

[Eddie]

You just imagine.

[Bobby Bones]

Or Ja Rule.

[Eddie]

What's Walk On By?

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, I have no idea.

[Eddie]

Like that's. I don't even know what that is. In 19 week. Yeah, I would have put Crazy over that for sure. Put crazy as a 19 weeker, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see, what year was that?

[Eddie]

60, 50.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have a year. I don't have a year on it, but I would think the life expectancy of a human was like 19 weeks back then.

[Eddie]

So old they would have lockjaw at some point.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see, what's his name? Leroy Van Dyke, 1961.

[Eddie]

Oh, dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Leroy Van Dyke. His number one song is not even Walk On By. It's the Auctioneer. But here's Walk On By. I'll play for my phone down below so we don't get shut off here.

[Eddie]

Never heard that.

[Bobby Bones]

Thing about Leroy Van djk. I did really like at the beginning of his TV show when he like tripped over and fell and Mary Tyler Moore picked him up.

[Eddie]

Oh, the Leroy Van Dyke Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was good.

[Eddie]

It's one of the best. Never heard of Leroy, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Me either.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

And I do consider myself a bit of a traditionalist. Right, the auctioneer. 16 million.

[Eddie]

Okay. That's a Jam.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody needs to sample this and do a new song. Yeah. Can I suggest Florida Georgia Line Guys?

[Eddie]

They're calling you again.

[Bobby Bones]

You know those guys. One of them is happy as a clam right now. The other is miserable because the other one is happy as a clam right now. Yeah.

[AI Assistant]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's interesting how all that turned out.

[Bobby Bones]

Because the one, Tyler has got a bunch of hits, the other, his wife has a store.

[Eddie]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. A successful store. Yeah, that's. That's got to drive him crazy. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's just hard, though. Tyler's the voice. He was the voice of Florida Georgia Line. That's. That's easier. You know, that's like. That's like. If Brooks and Dunn broke up and. And. And they did. I know, but it's gonna be hard for Kicks to have a. A big career because he wasn't the voice of Brooks and Dunn.

[Bobby Bones]

But he did have songs that he sang that were hits. Yeah, I know that, like, Kicks actually had number ones. What are you saying?

[Eddie]

It's a little different.

[Bobby Bones]

It is. But also, we shouldn't compare Brooks and down to Florida Georgia. No, no, no.

[Eddie]

Just like, okay, I got a record.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Eddie and Bobby, the raging idiots. Like, it's like if Eddie tried it, you know, I'm the one. The lead singer of the Raging.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're the better singer, so you should have always been the singer. That's the deal. Yeah, I don't. I. I gotta be honest. I. I didn't know Leroy. Leroy Van Dyke. Neither did I. I'm assuming Mike, he's not alive anymore. I don't think so. Would love to get a Bobby cast and hear the stories of yesteryear. See if he's available. He had a 19 week number one song.

[Eddie]

It's pretty amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

That's wild. Not. And one of the few not produced by Ashley Gorley. Written or produced. Yeah, written. Alive. He is. He's 96 years old, dude.

[Eddie]

You got to get him in to talk about that story. You talk about how Patsy was upset with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, at 96, that's a tough interview. I might have to get him on the Telegraph. Yeah, it's not even about him. It's just 96 is a tough.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. It's a tough age.

[Bobby Bones]

The younger or the older they are, the tougher they get for the most part.

[Eddie]

That's pretty cool. He's still with us.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up was not a number one song. Shania Twain. Man, I felt like a woman.

[Eddie]

That's ridiculous.

[Bobby Bones]

Despite being one of the highest streamed country songs of all time. With over 7 million streams and being one of the best selling country albums of all time, the two time diamond certified Come on Over Man, I Feel Like a Woman failed to reach number one. It did, however, chart well in over a dozen countries, even going number one in New Zealand.

[Eddie]

Oh wow.

[Bobby Bones]

But never hit number one here on the country chart.

[Eddie]

Does it say who blocked it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, it sure does. Leroy Van Dyke.

[Eddie]

With Cruz. That was his this is how we roll.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not going to lie. Leroy Van Dyke looks pretty good for 96. Hey, I see a birthday post. He turned 96 three weeks ago. Does he still live in town? No. Oh, he doesn't. I don't think so.

[Eddie]

[AI Assistant]

I turned off news altogether.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait.

[Podcast Announcer]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[AI Assistant]

We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little.

[Eddie]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

Booking.com booking. Yeah, that's booking.com booking. Yeah. This is the Bobby cast. Number two. Colin, Baton Rouge Garth Brooks.

[Eddie]

Dang. Yeah. You know, that's a weird one because Huge Garth Brooks song, but not one that I remember would stand out as a radio song.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Eddie]

Like, you know, obviously Friends in Low places. All those. The river. Like those are big songs that I remember on the radio. Colin, Baton Rouge. I don't remember a big radio song.

[Bobby Bones]

I have like two tiers of Garth songs. Songs that I feel were awesome and everybody knows and. And songs that I know were really good that some people know. And I think that line is like beaches of Cheyenne is like right below the line is the first song below Fresh Horses. Even lower, I think, because I like. I like Beaches of Cheyenne, but I think that's the first one that hits that lower tier.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Colin Baton Rouge is up in that upper tier, though. That's a top 12. 15 songs.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I think third album. Third album in pieces. But I think that like the big songs off that album were like, Ain't Going down to the Sun Comes Up, Standing Outside the Fire.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. If we listed Garth in order now, would we list Jen Pop's favorite? Because obviously Gen Pop's number one Garth Brooks song of all time is Friends in Low Places. Not mine.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not mine either.

[Bobby Bones]

But Colin Baton Rouge would be in that top tier for sure. But it was number two. But it was blocked out for seven weeks by two different songs. So it was number two for seven weeks.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It was blocked out by Brooks and Dunn, which I don't. I love Brooks and Done. I don't think this song's bigger than Colin Baton Rouge. A big song for them. She's not the cheating kind.

[Eddie]

Yeah, not as big as.

[Bobby Bones]

That was number one for three weeks and then Alan Jackson had a four week number one with a song. I don't feel as big as Colin Baton Rouge, but it's great. Living on love Lying on time without somebody Nothing Ain't worth a dime. Great song. I feel like Colin Baton Rouge is bigger than both of them.

[Eddie]

I agree with you. But though those other two songs were pretty big.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't believe you don't think Colin Baton Rouge is like an elite Garth song.

[Eddie]

It is an elite Garth song, but it was almost an elite Garth song because we were Garth fans.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Way I don't remember it being a huge song on K Frog.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that your country?

[Eddie]

Was our country station. K Frog.

[Bobby Bones]

There are a lot of K Frogs, but I didn't know that was yours.

[Eddie]

Down in the Valley.

[Bobby Bones]

Number one. Never a number one song.

[Eddie]

Oh, Amarillo not a number one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Blasphemy.

[Bobby Bones]

Ammo. Ammo. Rillo By Morning is George Strait signature song. He has over 60 number one hits and it did not hit number one. It peaked at number four, April of 1983.

[Eddie]

And that is his staple song.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I know he didn't write it, but was he the first to record it?

[Eddie]

No. Wait, didn't we. We've talked about this. Where there was one. That sound. It's like a. It's like a demo, very low quality that we've played before and then someone else and then George.

[Bobby Bones]

So it was recorded Three times, if I recall correctly. Let's go over to our fact checker, Mike, because I know again, George Strait is the Kenny Chesney or Kenny Chesney is the George Strait of then where they both pick great songs by other people. They don't write a lot of their songs and they're massive stars. And I'm not even comparing the two, like, as a country cultural impact. But Kenny can write songs, but he just. He just goes and finds the best. He didn't really write a bunch of songs, which.

[Eddie]

There's skill in that. Finding good songs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you have to write good enough songs at the beginning for the most part to even have the option to get good songs pitched to you. Mike, what do you got? Originally by Terry Stafford, who also wrote it and put it out back in 1973.

[Eddie]

So just one.

[Bobby Bones]

And then mention anything about Leroy Van Dyke in that entire description. Did not see Leroy on this one. I'm so curious about Leroy Van Dyke.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

So congratulations. Yeah. George Strait, Amarillo by morning.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Never a number one song. Other ones that were never number one, just as honorable mentions. This is so old school because I don't really know what the charts were like then, but I'm so lonesome I could cry. Hank Williams, go rest high on that mountain. Vince Gill. Very slow.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if that mattered as much back then, but it only peaked at number 14 in 1995. Willie Nelson. Whiskey river peaked at number 12.

[Eddie]

That was a jam.

[Bobby Bones]

Midnight Montgomery. Alan Jackson. That's a good one. It peaked at number three, but it could never pass. Well, two songs. Because I like midnight. It's a great song. Alan Jackson. Yeah, but it couldn't be two songs. One, Winona's cover of I saw the light, but I wonder what. Which I saw the light. That was I saw the light.

[Eddie]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

And then. And Billy Ray, AKA break your heart.

[Eddie]

Oh, well, that's. That was massive.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. 40 week.

[Eddie]

40 week. Number one for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

The other was in color in color by Jamie Johnson, peaked at number nine. If.

[Eddie]

Should have seen.

[Bobby Bones]

You should have seen it in color.

[Eddie]

I should have seen it in color.

[Bobby Bones]

You should have seen it in color. So those were songs that never actually hit number one. What are your final thoughts on that?

[Eddie]

I mean, you know, some of them for good reason. But I love. Dude, I just love. I wish we can go back to those. You know, you have to take down number one to be number one. Because that. That, that to me makes more sense for a lot of these big songs. To not hit number one. Shania, I get.

[Bobby Bones]

Would be a little more fair if like was like, Ric Flair.

[Eddie]

Explain.

[Bobby Bones]

To be the man, you gotta beat the man. And I am the man. And that's not about what happened. It's a better model financially for country music to have more number one.

[Eddie]

Sure. And then that what this town loves to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Share the wealth. I don't know about sharing it. Make the wealth.

[Eddie]

But. But they're. But they're really good at, like, splitting the pie up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Because they want more of the pieces. Who? The town. I don't think. I don't think this town is some charity that's, like, everybody deserves.

[Eddie]

No, but they've almost designed it to where, like, okay, we're all gonna make money here, not just one person, because.

[Bobby Bones]

They can make more money doing it that way individually. I don't think it was just good hearts. Let me tell you one thing about this town.

[Eddie]

No good hearts running around.

[Bobby Bones]

It ain't good hearts running around. I'm curious before we leave, though. Leroy Van Dyke.

[Eddie]

Yes. Book him. I'll pick him up. Dude, I'll. I'll bring him over here.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't trust it. But I'm going to ask my assistant to just give me a brief overview of his life and career.

[Eddie]

Hello.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm curious about the country singer Leroy Van Dyke. My friend and I were discussing him and did not know much about him. Could you give me a semi brief overview, maybe a couple minutes long, about the life, times, and success of Leroy Van Dyke?

[AI Assistant]

Absolutely. I'd be happy to give you the rundown. So Leroy Van Dyke is definitely a name that rings a bell in the world of classic country music. He was born in 1929 in Missouri, and he's known not just as a country singer, but also as an auctioneer and a songwriter. In fact, one of his early claims to Haim was a song called the Auctioneer, which he wrote based on his own experience, as you guessed it, an auctioneer. That song became a big hit in the mid-1950s and really put him on the map. But probably his most famous and enduring hit is Walk on by, which came out in 1961. That song was a massive success on the country charts and even crossed over a bit into the pop charts. It's one of those classic country songs that's really stood the test of time. Over his career, Leroy Van Dyke recorded a bunch of albums, performed internationally, and became known for his smooth, polished style and that kind of era of country music that blended honky tonk with a Bit of a pop sensibility. He's been active for many decades, and even into his later years, he was still performing and making appearances. So that's the gist. He's a country music veteran with a couple of iconic hits, especially Walk on by, and a career that spanned a good long while.

[Eddie]

You know what I'm listening to this week?

[Bobby Bones]

Leroy Van Dyke.

[Eddie]

Leroy Van Dyke.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there you have it.

[Eddie]

Ooh. Live at the Broken Spokes. Is that right?

[Bobby Bones]

What year? I thought the spokes were still all together back then.

[Eddie]

No, it's just. He's just in front of it and.

[Bobby Bones]

On an album before a spoke broke, bro.

[Eddie]

Dude, you know what? This episode was way better than the last one.

[Bobby Bones]

What was the last one, dude?

[Eddie]

The. The death. The last one I did with you.

[Bobby Bones]

That one wasn't bad. I liked it.

[Eddie]

It wasn't that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just.

[Eddie]

I thought about it all week.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too.

[Eddie]

And I even went more deep dive into Randy Rhodes and like, you should tell that story.

[Bobby Bones]

So in the an episode we did back in time, go look at celebrity tragic deaths, we did this episode and we talked about different musical artists who died in tragic ways. And one of them was Randy Rhodes, who was the guitar player for Black Sabbath.

[Eddie]

Ozzy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Did he play for Black Sabbath, though? I think it was just Ozzy, because Ozzy was in Black Sabbath, I just assumed.

[Eddie]

I think it was when Ozzy went.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably assumed wrong. And that's on me, I believe. So ask my assistant.

[Eddie]

Yes, please.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Do you want to ask her about the Randy Rhodes thing?

[Eddie]

Yeah, see what she says.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, got a question for you. So we're talking about Randy Rhodes, the guitarist, and we're wondering one, if he played for Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath or just Ozzy Osbourne. And can you give me some details about his tragic death in the airplane?

[AI Assistant]

Absolutely. Let's dive into that. So Randy Rhodes was indeed the legendary guitarist who played for Ozzy Osbourne, but he never actually played for Black Sabbath. What happened is that after Ozzy was out of Black Sabbath, he started his solo career, and Randy was his guitarist in that solo band. So Randy's name is really tied to Ozzy's early solo work, albums like Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman, rather than Black Sabbath itself. As for his tragic death, it's a really sad story. Randy Rhodes died in a plane crash in 1982 when he was just 25 years old. The band was on tour in Florida, and during a rest stop, the tour bus driver, who also happened to be a pilot, decided to take a few people up in a small plane for a quick flight. They made a couple of successful passes, but then on another pass, the plane clipped a tour bus, lost control, and crashed into a nearby house. Randy and two others on the plane were killed instantly. It was a huge loss to the music world because Randy was known for his incredible talent and innovative guitar work. Even though his career was relatively short, he had a big influence on heavy metal guitar playing and is still remembered as one of the grace.

[Bobby Bones]

Was there a story about they were using the airplane to buzz the tour buses kind of as a practical joke?

[AI Assistant]

Yes, that's exactly right. So the plane crash that killed Randy Rhodes did involve what was essentially a really reckless prank. The pilot, who was also tour bus driver, was trying to buzz the tour bus, basically flying really low and close to it to scare or surprise the people inside. It was meant to be kind of daredevil joke, but it went horribly wrong. On one of those passes, the plane got too close, clipped the bus, and then crashed. So yeah, the whole incident was kind of the result of this ill conceived stunt that went tragically out of control. It's a pretty heartbreaking story all around.

[Bobby Bones]

A couple things from that one. I like it when her emotion changes.

[Eddie]

Oh, she got like. Yeah, it's pretty sad. I mean she sounds human, man. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so what I didn't know from you because you went deeper down this and people actually saw them in the plane.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so couple things. So I. When we told. We were talking about the story, I thought it was nighttime. I don't know. Felt like just a nighttime antics to do this. It wasn't. It was early in the day. The bus driver knew the bus drive the the bus company and he knew that the owner lived in Florida and that they were having air condition problems and they could just stop during the day and they can fix it. So they had stopped there to get the bus fixed. And while the bus was being worked on, he was like, oh, there's a plane right there. I'm a pilot. Although he had been doing drugs.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, it wasn't his plane. It wasn't even their plane.

[Eddie]

On the property there was a Runway.

[Bobby Bones]

They didn't even like go and release the plane.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no. The owner of the bus company owned a couple planes and even had a Runway in his property. And so he says, let's go, I'll fly the plane. I'm a pilot. You know, I'm a pilot.

[Bobby Bones]

And so he's on drugs.

[Eddie]

He'd been doing drugs all night. Randy Rhodes and the hairdresser were like, we'll go with you. And he didn't say anything. We're gonna prank. We're just gonna go up on the plane. Randy Rhodes was a photographer, so he took his. I'll take my camera. I'll get pictures up there. And the hairdresser's like, that sounds fun. While they were in the air, that's when he was like, watch this.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. So it wasn't a prank to begin with. Get in. Let's prank.

[Eddie]

Correct. Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

My God.

[Eddie]

Correct. And so the tour manager and some of the band members heard the first buzz flyover, got out of the bus, like, what's happening? They saw it. They did it again. The third time, they could see there was struggle in the cockpit, meaning whomever.

[Bobby Bones]

Was in there didn't want to do.

[Eddie]

That, meaning, like, stop. Stop doing this. And then once that happened, they clicked. They clipped the. The wing, clipped the tour bus, and then it hit a house that was nearby. Bizarre, dude. Bizarre. And that's crazy. When we first talked about it, I was shook.

[Bobby Bones]

When we first talked about it. But hearing that, those layers and.

[Eddie]

And in my head, too, I'm like, that's so rock and roll. That's so 80s. But then you get the real story, and it's like, dude, Randy didn't even want to be. Like, he didn't even want to be part of that. Like, there wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I think it's him being crazy in a plane.

[Eddie]

Same.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he's a rock and roll metal guitarist. Let's go do some pranks and fly and tour and bust some people. Live young, live hard.

[Eddie]

Same.

[Bobby Bones]

But no, it was just a dude who was like, I can fly. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And while he was up there, he's like, watch this. Very sad. So that's why AI is sad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The whole episode was pretty dark.

[Eddie]

It was, dude. But I thought about that all week after we take. We taped that episode, and, like, I called my brother, who was a huge Aussie fan and all that, and he didn't even know that. Same thing with him. He's like, yeah, I think he died in a plane crash. Well, let me tell you, bro.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you tell him? Yeah.

[Eddie]

And he was like, whoa. Didn't know any of that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I. Whoa. I didn't know any of that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, that'll do it. Eddie. Thank you for stopping by.

[Eddie]

Thanks, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're already. You're already here, so.

[Eddie]

No, I stopped by.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Hey, thanks for staying a little longer.

[Eddie]

And now I'm on my way to go pick up Leroy.

[Bobby Bones]

What band said. What band is he in?

[Eddie]

Leroy Van Dyke. The Van Dykes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that Leroy.

[Eddie]

Leroy.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you do have a cousin named Leroy.

[Eddie]

I do. I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's who, by the way? No, no, let me go first.

[Eddie]

Go ahead, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

He's Hispanic or is he Mexican?

[Eddie]

He's. He's Mexican. He's half Korean, half Mexican.

[Bobby Bones]

Of everybody I've ever seen named Leroy, he looks the least like a Leroy would look, huh?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I know Leroy's.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they have either been redneck, like I know where I come from, or black where I know where I come from.

[Eddie]

Not my cousin.

[Bobby Bones]

And some of them are Leroy or Leroy. None of them look like your cousin Leroy. When you said my cousin's name is Leroy, I expected white guy and a wife beater.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Black dude. Nope. I've never met a Mexican Leroy.

[Eddie]

Mexican dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that his name, though? Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah, Leroy. That's his name.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome.

[Eddie]

And Leroy loves music. Like, loves music. So he's gone I don't know how many of our shows, because he just loved, you know, seen us play. But crazy thing about Leroy is he lives about five miles from where Randy Rhodes crashed.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think the crazier thing is his name's Leroy. Still. I know that's crazy, but when I saw him, I was like, no, no, no. I want to meet your cousin Leroy. You're like, no, that's him.

[Eddie]

That's Leroy.

[Bobby Bones]

What? All right. Thank you, Eddie. Thanks for listening to a Bobby Cast production. Ah, greetings from my bath festive friends.
