Key Discussion Points & Insights

Listener Shout-outs & "Who is Scuba Steve Closest to?"

[02:34–04:49]

• Shout-outs: The hosts kick off by acknowledging listener messages—from recommendations to visit Canadian attractions (like Banff), to personal shout-outs for Scuba Steve's authenticity.
• Relationships on the Show:
  • Scuba Steve considers himself closest to Lunchbox, as they bonded early on:

    "When I first came on the show... I just really developed a great relationship with him. Would probably be Lunchbox." ([03:59])

  • Ray is another close colleague, thanks to sharing adjacent workspaces and mutual ribbing:

    "Ray because race is right next to me. And so him and I always talking crap to each other..." ([04:17])

  • Morgan ranks third, with Bobby noting that Scuba Steve and Lunchbox together form a "dynamic duo" that playfully tease Morgan.

The Name "Scuba Steve": Where Did It Come From?

[05:35–09:35], [12:00–13:33]

• Pop Culture Roots: The nickname comes from the Adam Sandler movie "Big Daddy"—the character Scuba Steve.

  "When I started in radio, I was an intern, and the movie 'Big Daddy' was a popular film at that time. Adam Sandler movie. And there's a Scuba Steve character in there. My name is Steven." ([09:09])

  • On his first day as a radio intern in Orlando, the hosts quickly dubbed him "Scuba Steve" and the name stuck—especially after the show’s leader Johnny Magic embraced it.
  • Attempts to drop the name in other markets (e.g., San Francisco) were discouraged once Ryan Seacrest remarked:

    "'Branding, my brother. Keep Scuba Steve. That is amazing.'" ([13:13])
• Lasting Nickname: Both Johnny Magic and Ryan Seacrest's support cemented the nickname for good:

  "If Seacrest stamped it and then a guy I looked up to stamped it, I gotta keep it." ([13:29])

Behind-the-Scenes: What Takes More Work Than People Realize?

[13:44–14:51]

• According to Scuba Steve, booking major guests is often a logistical challenge.

  "If it's a desirable guest... there's a lot of back and forth and a lot of, you know, logistics and getting it put together..." ([14:09])

  • "Big gets" (major celebrities outside country music) require more negotiation and planning vs. country artists, who are more familiar with the show’s process.

Dream Theme Park Rides & Travel Bucket List

[15:01–16:25]

• Scuba Steve dreams of:
  • Visiting the indoor Warner Brothers theme park in Dubai:

    "There's a completely fully indoor theme park, and it's a Warner Brothers theme park. And it just seems...so cool." ([15:41])

  • Visiting the Mall of America for Nickelodeon Universe.
  • Bobby adds a dream to try Mario Kart street racing in Japan—"my dream to do."

Would Scuba Steve Ever Shave His Beard?

[17:02–18:09]

• Scuba Steve has considered shaving his beard several times, including during one particularly odd incident he and Bobby both remember (but won’t share on-air).

  "Most recently, there was an instance that happened, and I was like, get this thing off me." ([17:06])

• His wife sometimes misses seeing his face; his kids have never seen him without the beard. He’s wary of "traumatizing" them, recalling his own childhood reaction when his dad shaved his mustache:

  "My kids have never seen my face...are my kids going to be traumatized?" ([17:26])

• If he ever shaves, it will be a family moment with his kids involved:

  "If I would do it...they would shave it, or they'd have to be there when I'm shaving it..." ([17:57])

• On the longevity of the nickname:

  "It's unique...Different. If Seacrest stamped it and then a guy I looked up to stamped it, I gotta keep it." – Scuba Steve ([13:28–13:29])

• On his beard and family:

  "My kids have never seen my face...if I would do it, it wouldn't have to be that I would let the kids. They would shave it..." – Scuba Steve ([17:57])

[Bobby Bones]

So, my favorites. I've been missing you guys. And then Scuba, my favorite from Monica. Shout out.

[Scuba Steve]

Monica, what up?

[Bobby Bones]

Shout it out. Who is Scuba Steve closest to on the show?

[Scuba Steve]

That's Shout it out. Come on, Lizzie.

[Bobby Bones]

That was a delayed reaction. Like, really delayed.

[Scuba Steve]

Shout out from the rooftops. My brain went elsewhere. Who's my favorite on the show?

[Bobby Bones]

Who is Scuba Steve closest to on the show? That's from Chris in Missouri.

[Scuba Steve]

Chris in Missouri. The closest on the show.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I have an answer. You don't.

[Scuba Steve]

I would say I would mostly because when I first came on the show, it was almost like my little pet, for lack of better terms. And then through that, I just really developed a great relationship with him. Would probably be Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

That was my thing, too. Also. You guys have similar lifestyles. You're both dads of three kids. You got a lot going on.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Yeah. And then I would say another person would be Ray because race is right next to me. And so him and I always talking crap to each other and whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, just a bunch of dudes

[Scuba Steve]

being dudes pretty much.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. I mean, I like everyone and I have a great relationship with everybody on the show, but I would say probably that probably my top two would be Lunch and. And Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Morgan.

[Scuba Steve]

Probably three.

[Bobby Bones]

You know how I.

[Scuba Steve]

Even though you're Morgan number two, I

[Bobby Bones]

got the penny number three there. You know how I know that, too? Is because Steve and Lunch. Every time they're together, man, I want to die.

[Scuba Steve]

We like punking you like you're my sister.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You two together is like a dynamic duo. Is too Nice. Honestly, like, the way that you guys come after me when you're together is.

[Scuba Steve]

It's a lot of fun.

[Bobby Bones]

For you guys, maybe.

[Scuba Steve]

It's so much fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Like them together, you think one of them is a little crazy, and then have both of them coming at you with the same inside joke that they think is hilarious is a wild ride.

[Scuba Steve]

And watching you because you get so uncomfortable over the things that don't bother us, it makes it even better. And then when we find out it makes you uncomfortable, then we just don't stop.

[Bobby Bones]

I've come a long way, though. I'm not gonna lie.

[Scuba Steve]

You have come a long way. In the beginning, it was almost like we were. Like you were gonna die. You're gonna curl up in a corner and die of anxiety. Yeah. Because I hate uncomfortable situations, and I love uncomfortable situations.

[Bobby Bones]

And now I just. I'm like, there's nothing I can do about it. And I realize if I react, you guys do more. So it goes inward than outward a lot more now that's where the growth. I'm really glad I could always be the butt of your guys. That's how I know that's funny. Why is he called Scuba Steve? That's from ac.

[Scuba Steve]

Ac? AC Green. You look like AC Green. Don't call here anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a rocker?

[Scuba Steve]

It's a old school, like, hip hop rap song. You look like AC Green.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. CeeLo Green.

[Scuba Steve]

Girl, don't call it. Well, I think it's the B word. Don't call here anymore. Now I gotta figure out what song that is before I answer AC's question. Because it's such an iconic rap song that gets stuck in your head. You look.

[Bobby Bones]

I would love to look it up for you, but I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

Green.

[Bobby Bones]

Any idea of what you're singing?

[Scuba Steve]

You look like A.C. green. Oh, it's from Dr. The Chronic. Big egos.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a deep gut from somewhere.

[Scuba Steve]

If they ever heard the Chronic album.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, stupid. You know what's annoying about YouTube? There was a day when you didn't

[Bobby Bones]

have anything about you. This.

[Scuba Steve]

This one where it's like, boom.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

I don't know that you know that one. Oh, my gosh. Such a great.

[Bobby Bones]

For much longer.

[Scuba Steve]

I know, I know. I just turned it off. I know. Anyone else? I'm sure there's people out there, like, all of a sudden. To The Chronic. Chronic 2000. There's that song.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, I. Listen, I grew up on country music, and that was really about it. So that's. That's why it's hard for me to pull back any other knowledge.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything I learned in my music knowledge came from when I was an adult solo. So if you're teaching me about it now, I did not learn about it growing up.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, I Recommend you should 100% get on your phone one day on a road trip or something. I'm sure your fiance has been all about it or heard it or is aware of it. The Chronic, the original little hardcore, he may not, may not, may not be suitable for you, but the chronic 2000, the newer one, but it's not really new anymore, had Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dre, and all them on there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he for sure loved it. Listen. Oh, my gosh, that guy loves. Loves hip hop rap.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, then he's hurt. Then he's for sure. If you go to him tonight and you're like, hey, babe, I never heard listen to the Chronic. He's like, what? And I haven't listened to the chronic 2000. He's like, what? So you should definitely spend. Because one of those albums, when you press play, all the interludes, like the little skits in between, they all bl and fade together so beautifully. And it's such a great. Texturally, the album is such a great, phenomenal pop cultural moment.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so the Chronic. The Chronic, Little Hardcore, or the chronic 2000.

[Scuba Steve]

2000, I think, would be a little bit more your vibe. Chronic 2000.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I bet he has, but I'm sure he has. Now that I've initiated that, I have a feeling I'm going to be educated on another drive.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes. Yeah. Well, on the. On your next drive, you should listen. And if you have only an option between one of the two, I think for your vibe, the. The newer One, the Chronic 2000, would be for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen, I love Eminem. So he's in the free.

[Scuba Steve]

He's in the newer one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

The original one is like dirty hardcore gangster rap.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Where it's like just Dre and Snoop and a few others that are popping in.

[Bobby Bones]

And I like a lot of those.

[Scuba Steve]

I listen individually.

[Bobby Bones]

Their music.

[Scuba Steve]

A little hardcore for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, next best bits.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, cool. So the answer to AC's question. You look like AC Green. Yeah. And then once that song comes on, you're like, oh, my gosh, AC&AC green is an NBA player, which we learned that you don't know anything about NBA players or basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

What team did he play?

[Scuba Steve]

The Los Angeles Lakers.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm learning.

[Scuba Steve]

Which also ties into the. The Chronic and Dre because they're from la.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

All right. So the answer. The question for AC Scuba Steve. Very simple answer. When I started in radio, I was an intern, and the movie Big Daddy was a popular film at that time. Adam Sandler movie. And there's a Scuba Steve character in there. My name is Steven. My first day.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba Steve.

[Scuba Steve]

Scuba Steve. Damn you.

[Bobby Bones]

And on my first day, he texted me back. He did Dr. Dre. Exclamation point.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes. Yeah. Okay, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think that's a yes.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think now I've started, like I said.

[Scuba Steve]

Yep. Tell him chronic 2000 just for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

And if you partake, partake, and then listen, take it to another level.

[Bobby Bones]

Now I'm following.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

But then he responds, still Dre.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, Still Dre. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Nowadays, everybody want to talk about they got something to say, but nothing comes out the mood list. Bunch of gibberish. Exactly. We got about Dre. There's a lot of cursing. Like, kind of like. Okay, you never heard of that song? Nowadays, everybody want to talk. It's Eminem rapping. It's like his first, like, introduction into the world.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, maybe. Maybe if I play it again, I'll remember it. I'll report back. But now I know that he's for sure is going to drop knowledge on me. We're going to take a break. Come back. I have more questions.

[Scuba Steve]

The thing about AI for business, it may not automatically fit the way your business works. At IBM, we've seen this firsthand. But by embedding AI across hr, IT and procurement processes, we've reduced costs by millions, slashed repetitive tasks, and freed thousands of hours for strategic work. Now we're helping companies get smarter by putting AI where it actually pays off. Deep in the work that moves the business. Let's create smarter business. IBM, the all new 2026 RAV4 Limited with a panoramic moonroof. Toyota RAV4 is now responsible for the new exotic hairstyle you end up with if you get used to Dr.Rav4 Ltd. With a panoramic moonroof and windows open, we recommend bringing hairspray if you want to keep the look. The 2026 RAV4 is serious fun. Folks knew the colonel approved of his new Honey Chili Crisp and Jalapeno ranch sauces the moment he tasted them and said, that's right. No notes, just absolute silence. Turns out some flavors don't need explanation, they just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC with new Honey Chili Crisp and Jalapeno Ranch. Get dipping with a Boneless bucket. Today, prices and participation vary. Before we had AT&T business wireless coverage, our delivery GPS wasn't the most reliable. Once our driver had to do a 14 point turn to get back on route. A 14 point turn. An influencer even livestreamed the whole thing. Not good for business. Now with AT T Business Wireless, routes are updating on the fly and deliveries are on time. And the influencer did get us 53 new followers though. AT&T business Wireless connecting changes everything.

[Bobby Bones]

[Scuba Steve]

Scuba Steve story and then, so intern day one. I walk in, I was in Orlando, a station called XL167. It was Johnny Johnny and Jay was. The show was like an iconic Orlando radio show. And I walk in, first day, and they're like, yeah. I walk in, they're all like. They're all in the office. And they turn around, look at me. They're like, scuba Steve, damn you. And I was like, oh, that's a cool movie. Like, no, no, that's your name. And I was like, what? And they go, we give all our interns a nickname and that's your nickname. I was like, all right, cool. And then I was like, whatever. And then it was one of those nicknames where I realized, oh, I can't escape this nickname. And the host, Johnny, loved it. Every time I would see him, he's like, scuba, Scuba Steve. And he just loves saying it. And for me, it was cool because then I have this guy that I looked up to growing up who now knows my name and gave me a name. And like, he can't get it. I see him now, the first thing he says, he's like, scuba. And I'm like, oh, this is so cool. He still. He still knows me.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Scuba Steve]

And so for me, it was pretty legit to like get nicknamed by somebody you looked up to. Johnny Magic was his name. And. And then I carried it from every market when I was in San Francisco, though they hated on it. And they were like, you got to change it. And so I went by just Stephen for a while or Producer Steve, which is such a boring ass name compared

[Bobby Bones]

to Scuba Steve for sure.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. So dumb. And then I went to la, and then I was working with Ryan Seacrest. And he was like. And he heard of my name. And he was like, oh, I love that name. You gotta keep it. I was like, really? I was like, I was thinking about changing it. He was like, no. He goes, branding my brother. He goes, keep Scoob, Steve. He goes, that is amazing. He goes, I love it. And then he then he knew me and remember me because my name was, I guess, easy to remember. And so I was. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, different. It's unique.

[Scuba Steve]

If Seacrest stamped it and then a guy I looked up to stamped it, I gotta keep it. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. So now you are forever scoop of Steve, and now you do the Scuba Steve show.

[Scuba Steve]

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You really can't go make it do about it now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Just be Steve show.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What is the one thing about the show that people probably think happens naturally, but it takes way more work than anyone realizes?

[Scuba Steve]

That's from Dusty, I would say. Usually when it comes to booking a guest, depending on the guest, if it's like a. If it's like a layup where it's like, hey, we're going for number one, or some bull crap like that, it's super easy. All right, here's the day, here's the time. Send me this. Send me the stuff, and we'll backtrack

[Bobby Bones]

back

[Scuba Steve]

and then we'll get it done. But if it's like. If it's like a desirable guest or somebody that is not from Nashville or traveling in, there's a lot of. A lot of back and forth and a lot of, you know, logistics and getting it put together and all that kind of stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

One of the big gets, as we call them.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, the big gets. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They're more uncommon. They don't happen a lot. Yeah, something like that or like a big actor.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, Anything along those lines. That takes a lot of work. Either work of getting them to come on or then even in that process of getting them come on, then it's like, okay, when fishing got them, now I got to reel them in and reel them in. They have a lot of questions because. Just a lot of unfamiliar territory. Whereas, like a country artist, they already. They've been here, or their team has already been here, so they're already knowing they know what the process is like and what needs to be done. So it's a little bit more streamlined.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a good answer. What is your dream ride you'd love to go on, Max, in Boston? Anywhere in the world? Dream ride. The Bucket list ride. What is it?

[Scuba Steve]

Dream Ride, like a theme park ride?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Dream ride.

[Scuba Steve]

Let me think. Dream ride. I've done a lot of the ones I like.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there, like, international ones that you've dreamt of going on and you hope to be there one day?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I will. Yeah, there is actually one, or there's an entire theme park. I mean, it'd be cool to go to all the Disney theme parks across the world. But have you ever seen in Dubai the Warner Brothers theme park?

[Bobby Bones]

I've heard about it, yes. Seen it on socials, but I. I don't know. It's AI or real anymore, so.

[Scuba Steve]

No, it's cool because it's Dubai and the weather is terrible. It's always super hot, so it's all indoors. There's a completely fully indoor theme park, and it's a Warner Brothers theme park. And it just seems.

[Bobby Bones]

Which Warner Brothers. Very creative.

[Scuba Steve]

So cool. We follow each other on Instagram and. And I'm like, I just can't wait for the day when I get to go to Dubai and go to that theme park. It seems they have a Batman ride. Like, it's all these cool, fun.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be so fun.

[Scuba Steve]

It's just so cool. It looks so cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know that they had a Batman ride. Now I want to go to a Batman ride.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, there's that one. And then I want to go to the Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall America, which is more obtainable because it's just a straight shot north.

[Bobby Bones]

You could totally just do that on a weekend.

[Scuba Steve]

I know, but it's just like trying to find a weekend to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's definitely a weekend trip. You Dubai, you need, like a whole week.

[Scuba Steve]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

For the travel alone, it's a lot.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. And it's expensive and the whole thing. But. But then the universal one would be cool because then you got the Mall of America. I've always wanted to go there and see that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So, yeah, I'd love to be able to do the Mall of America first. More obtainable. And then Warner Brothers in Dubai.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fun. Those are good ones. Have you ever seen the. It's not within the park in Japan, but there's straight up Mario Kart on the streets in Japan.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, not a theme park thing, like a real thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like you're in actual karts.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And I would have to find the video again, but this is my dream to do, and I would love to go on this one sometime in my whole life.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if I could make that one happen, that would be the whole dream.

[Scuba Steve]

That's pretty cool. They have, like, bananas in the back end. Like, they drop off.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but some of them have a balloons. Like, I think the balloon part happens.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, you've seen that one.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We do have to get out of here, but. So I'm gonna leave us on one thing.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Nick in Colorado wants to know if you will ever shave the beard.

[Scuba Steve]

I thought about it many different times. Most recently, there was an instance that happened, and I was like, get this thing off me.

[Bobby Bones]

I was there. I know the moment. Will not think of it ever again.

[Scuba Steve]

I usually talk about everything. That's one that I won't talk about because it's. It was interesting and weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

But I almost went up to the room and shaved it, get rid of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't want it on my body anymore.

[Scuba Steve]

I don't know, but thought about it many different times of, like, getting rid of it just because, you know, I'd kind of like my wife sometimes. Like, I miss your face. Or my kids have. My kids have never seen my face. But then. Then it also. Mike, are my kids going to be traumatized because my dad always had a mustache, and I remember the times he would shave it, we would cry. We were so sad because he looked so different. And he wasn't the dad that we knew. And so we were traumatized by him shaving his mustache. But then when he left, we were traumatized even more.

[Bobby Bones]

But so just all kinds of trauma. So maybe one day.

[Scuba Steve]

Maybe one day. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

When your kids are older.

[Scuba Steve]

And if I would do it, it wouldn't have to be that I would let the kids. They would shave it, or they'd have to be there when I'm shaving it because they need to be able to be a part of that process because they have never seen my face before.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

None of them ever.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fair. That's fair. I was traumatized when my dad shaved his mustache. I get it.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yes, definitely make them part of the process.

[Scuba Steve]

Your dad bald when you were a kid, or do you have hair?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, he. He only had an afro when he was before us.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, so you've only known your dad bald? Bald. So it wasn't like your dad shaved his head. You're like, whoa, dad, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but the mustache man. For a couple days, I was like, make him. All right, dad. Yeah, it's a weird vibe for me.

[Scuba Steve]

It's weird. It's the same guy. But when they look at you, you're like, who are you?

[Bobby Bones]

Why? Yeah, it gave me a lot of me.

[Scuba Steve]

Stop it.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of weirdness.

[Scuba Steve]

Weird as hell, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. We had to get out of here. Scuba, thanks for being on.

[Scuba Steve]

Thanks for having me. I appreciate it, as always.
