Well, first off, if you don't know who the Raging Idiots are, they're a comedy duo comprised of Bobby Bones and Eddie (his producer) from The Bobby Bones Radio Show. They're a comedy group. So this song is supposed to be comical.

This song has been issued to radio through Black River Entertainment but expect it to do little, perhaps some spins on iHeartMedia stations (which airs the morning Bobby Bones Show). The duo will issue a full-length album later this year. They signed with Black River in 2015.

The song debuted at #79 on Mediabase this week, with spins from presumably, The Bobby Bones Show.

Things don't always go according to plan, sadly.

Two words...

Go. Away.

[Ten Pound Hammer]

To be fair, that's more personality than he's ever shown on his show...

Bobby Bones talked about his record deal and the Raging Idiots upcoming album, due in the Spring.

It all started not because I think I’m going to win CMA Vocalist of the Year, but I had been doing standup comedy for years. As a teenager, my “band” was just a guitar I bought at a pawn shop. Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots is a terrible name, but we kept it from years ago. A while ago we played some songs and told some jokes at a charity show in Nashville, which turned into a couple other shows. Then people started coming to shows like crazy. We never planned to sign to a record label because we were never taking it serious. The only thing we were taking serious was that we could do some positive things with it because all our ticket sales went to charity. [Producer] Eddie and I’s goal was to raise $1 million. After that we said we would talk about signing a record deal and putting out a comedy record. Eddie is a real musician and I’m a writer/comedian. Over a year and a half, we raised over $2 million. We had been on the road with Kelsea Ballerini on the weekends and I got to know the Black River people well and really liked them. We didn’t shop a deal, but thought, “Let’s do this together.” We just now have merch, which is basically white T-shirts with us writing our names on them. We also signed with ASCAP, CAA, and Red Light.

I went to Black River with a kids record idea, and we put out a kids EP [in November 2015] and it was No. 1 on iTunes for two weeks. with a lot of really great artists that have no business being on a record with me because they’re way too good. But I wrote every song on both records. I had help from some great writers and buddies I’ve written comedy with too. Eric Paslay, Phil Barton and I wrote “When I Grow Up,” a kids song. On this other record I wrote with everyone from Lee Thomas Miller, Keifer Thompson, Lindsay Ell, and Kristian Bush. I’m really appreciative they gave it a try. I can think of kind of funny lyrics or things to say, but they really carried me through the music part of it. There’s no stand-up, but there are comedy bits/skits as tracks in between songs.

Why is any of this even a thing lol. Bobby Bones is so the opposite of funny.
