On this Christmas special, we’re bringing back one of the most memorable BobbyCast conversations: Bobby Bones sitting down with the legendary Brenda Lee. Brenda shares what it was really like growing up in the spotlight—making her Grand Ole Opry debut at just 10 years old, then traveling to Japan as a teenager while most kids her age were still figuring out middle school.She also tells the story behind the unexpected second life of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” including how Home Alone helped introduce the song to a whole new generation—and why she never imagined it would become her signature holiday hit. Plus, Brenda takes Bobby through some true music-history moments: meeting Elvis, spending time around Patsy Cline, and what it feels like listening back to the recordings she made when she was still a kid.

The guys debate a deceptively hard question: are these bands actually great, or has nostalgia made them feel bigger than they were? It turns into a speed round of takes (and a little singing) on Train, Limp Bizkit, Goo Goo Dolls live, Lifehouse, Smash Mouth, Creed, Kings of Leon, and Counting Crows plus Bobby’s ‘redneck Oasis’ comparison. Then they go down the music-doc rabbit hole: Counting Crows/Adam Duritz, Jeff Buckley, and a stack of favorites like Tom Petty’s Runnin’ Down a Dream, Oasis: Supersonic, Searching for Sugar Man, and more. Bobby also shares the latest Netflix deal he announced earlier this week.

Tucker Wetmore stops by and walks Bobby through the nerves leading up to his CMA performance. He describes what it felt like backstage, how he calmed himself down, and why he can be his own toughest critic even when everything goes right. Tucker also opens up about the moment he dropped out of college and finally told his mom he was going all-in on music, plus the family and faith background that shaped him growing up.Then it turns into a full timeline of the grind: moving to Nashville with what he could fit in a POD, working whatever jobs he could, DoorDashing for two years, and stretching meals while he tried to make songwriting and the right meetings happen. Tucker breaks down how posting covers on TikTok helped open doors, what changed once he started writing every day, and how that momentum turned into a Nashville publishing deal. Along the way, he shares a complicated family story involving his biological dad and what it was like reconnecting as an adult.

Tickets to Tucker's 'The Brunette World Tour', which kicks off in February are on sale at TuckerWetmore.com
