[Mike]

Please welcome aboard the Johnson family. The whole fam's here for the Disney cruise. So you know, we came to play and listen. The adults are gonna have a ball. First we're chilling in the infinity pool onto massages at Sense's Spa. Then gliding into Star Wars Hyperspace lounge for a toast. We're even gonna kick back with Mickey on Disney's private island. That's how we get down. Cause Disney Disney Cruise Line is where we came to play. This is a podcast called 25 Whistles. Talking football.

[Eddie]

And they all wear a whistle.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.

[Eddie]

25 Whistles. Hello everybody. Welcome to the show. Eddie Malthus.

[Mike]

You know I can't whistle. Like I just. That's one. I'm like, dude, I'm a musician. I can play instruments and everything. I can't whistle.

[Eddie]

Do you consider yourself a real musician?

[Mike]

Not really, no. But I can. I Know a little bit about every instrument. Like, I can probably do a little clarinet if I sign.

[Eddie]

I don't think you do clarinet. You'll think so. Nah, I think blowing into a horn, that's a whole different skill.

[Mike]

Oh, like trombone. That's really hard, I think.

[Eddie]

I think you are a musician, and I think if you live somewhere other than where you live now, you'd fully say you were a musician. I think because you're around the greats. It's hard to say that because they say that.

[Mike]

That's a good point.

[Eddie]

I got a few things I want to talk about. We can kind of decide where we want to go first. We can talk about Michael Parsons.

[Mike]

What do you want to talk about?

[Eddie]

Well, what would you like to say?

[Mike]

I mean, I would like to say it. Like, just, guys, relax. Like, it's. It's gonna happen. Like, no one. He's not gonna get traded. He's not going anywhere. This is like, how many times do we have to do this in the off season? Jerry, stop doing this crap. But. But, like, really, the fans need to relax. It's gonna. We're gonna keep Micah. Like, we've been through this so many times where these negotiations get dirty. People talk stuff. People delete their Instagram accounts, whatever. Like, we've been doing this for a long, long time. Micah Stain, he's gonna be a cowboy. They're gonna figure it out. We're gonna be all right.

[Eddie]

He did say, I no longer wanna be a cowboy.

[Mike]

That's. That's just a tactic. It's just. It's like Jerry said. Like, this is just negotiation tactics. Guys, relax.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna read you some of what Micah Parsons wrote.

[Mike]

Oh, boy.

[Eddie]

Yes, I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this America's team once again the team my mom and pops grew up cheering for. Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here. I no longer want to be held to closed door negotiations without any agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization and our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me. I had purposely stayed quiet in hopes of getting something done, but there is confusion out there. Let me set things straight. And then he goes through it, but he says he doesn't want to be a cowboy.

[Mike]

I will say, you know, this is a very unique way of negotiating. And they keep doing this. Like I said, they keep doing this every year.

[Eddie]

And.

[Mike]

And there's no way a player feels good about. Even when it's signed, even when they get all the money. Like, the whole stress of the negotiation ruins their. Their thoughts about really being a Cowboy and, like, being part of that family, quote, unquote, you know? So, like.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Mike]

Is this a tactic? Sure. On both sides? Are they getting a little mouthy and dirty? Sure. Are they going to. I bet you he still remains a Cowboy, but I don't think this is good for the team.

[Eddie]

I bet you remains a Cowboy. I don't think it matters within the team. It's business. It's not a family. It's business. And I've been through some really difficult, like, feeling hurt type negotiations. And as soon as you sign it, it's over.

[Mike]

As soon as you sign it, it's over.

[Eddie]

It's the process. If you've done it once, you're like.

[Bobby Bones]

You really hate the people you're negotiating.

[Eddie]

Against and you are trying not to take things personally, but you're going, my value is this, and they're not giving it to me. So. But as soon as the deal is worked out, 98% of that's gone.

[Mike]

Can we do this a little earlier?

[Eddie]

But that's a Jerry Jones thing, because he's done this many times over.

[Mike]

I know, but, like, you're missing pr. Like, practice is not going well. You know, you're not like, you want him engaged right now. This is where your time is preparing for the season. Not time to negotiate. It's like CD didn't play any of last year's preseason. It took him five, six weeks to get warmed up.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

We had a heck of a year, didn't he?

[Mike]

Yeah, eventually he did.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, I remember, dude. I remember the first three weeks is just like. It was bad. Well, he was the only receiver, but, I mean, it was bad.

[Kevin]

I think that's only offensive weapon.

[Eddie]

More of that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I also don't think Micah Parsons gets traded, but that's a really going hard statement if you didn't really consider getting traded.

[Kevin]

Like, he said, there's parents in there.

[Eddie]

He said, I no longer want to be a Cowboy.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, you can do a Terry McLaurin trade request, which is a bit different. Terry McLaurin is requested to be traded. You know what? That feels a little nicer, and that feels like you're saying what you feel like you need to say to get the message across and move it a little Faster. He freaking said, I don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Be a cowboy anymore.

[Mike]

So. So you say as. As part of, like, Micah Parsons and whoever's in the. In the negotiation. The player that's involved in the negotiations. What about the rest of the team when he says stuff like that?

[Eddie]

Nobody cares. It's all business.

[Mike]

Okay, But. But are they mature enough to really. Nobody cares?

[Eddie]

Yes, because everybody's just looking themselves. They're not mature enough. They understand because this is. They have a very limited window to get as much money as they can get, because once the window is over, they don't get money anymore. So everybody understands, okay? Generally speaking, everybody understands, especially in. In sports, because, again, that window is so small. If you don't get everything you can get in that small window that you can get it, you are going to be missing out. And that's all. It's all business. Every bit of it's a business.

[Mike]

I understand.

[Eddie]

So I don't think anybody's in. Like, man, I thought we were a team when I came to the Cowboys. I thought we were just all going to have ice cream and hangouts on Sundays after the game. Not a single person does that.

[Mike]

I felt like, you know, maybe some of the defense is, like, when he. When it's all said and done, like, oh, I thought you didn't want to be a cowboy dog. Like, I thought you want, like, happy.

[Eddie]

You got your money. We're happy you got your money, because that's all anybody's trying to do is get their money.

[Kevin]

Especially if you play his position, then you're like, more money for me.

[Eddie]

Like that. Like a running back, you got to get your money because they ain't paying running backs, and they have a very. A very small window.

[Mike]

So I ain't worried about it.

[Eddie]

I don't know that I'd be worried. I would be slightly concerned because even that. That's out there, even though you wrote that so harshly, I'd be a little concerned about it.

[Mike]

You know, I will say when some of these parody accounts, you know, I just scroll and I see, like, Micah gone. I'm like, oh, my heart stops for a second.

[Eddie]

Mike, what do you think?

[Gator]

I think it just makes me sad about, like, how toxic everything is of, like, it just feels like we'll never be a real team and we're never gonna have any success when everybody just hates each other and they hate Jerry Jones.

[Eddie]

This is happening on every team. I mean, Trey Henderson's haven't happened in Cincinnati right now.

[Gator]

So it's not just. Is it Just specific. Because we see all the Cowboys. That feels like it's just them that's so toxic.

[Eddie]

It's not even that. You just see the cowboy stuff because your algorithm feeds you cowboy stuff. Because that is true. Yeah, but the cowboy stuff is amplified to everybody, more so than any other team.

[Kevin]

You think Jerry thrives off of this, too, as far as the attention, the media and all this?

[Eddie]

I don't think he does it for the attention, but I don't think the attention is a negative.

[Gator]

But then you also see them, like, not paying the cheerleaders, and that's always a big story. Just seems like they don't want to pay anybody.

[Eddie]

But those cheerleaders, very famous. No cheerleaders are getting paid. Like, it's. Again, not to sound like a jerk. What are the cheerleaders? What are they needed for? They're not needed. That's a glory position. That's a job that everybody wants. It doesn't matter the job. If there is a job that everybody wants, it doesn't pay that well because everybody wants it. If they had to get the best of the best and we demand, then, yeah. And that position actually produce revenue, then, yes. But being a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader is more of an honor than it is actually doing something for the greater good of the community. And I'm sure they got paid for the show. When they do the shows and stuff. And do I think they should get paid more?

[Mike]

Sure.

[Eddie]

But you're paid based on how expensive it is to replace you. That's generally what it is. That's why you get paid the amount you get paid. Whatever you get paid. You're paid basically what your employer thinks it would cost to replace you. That's it. And that's why, again, what are Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders or any cheerleaders? What. What's really their use in the NFL?

[Gator]

I'll tell you the other thing, though. I watched that second season of it, and they wouldn't even let them utilize their social media. They told them, like, they couldn't do brand deals. It wasn't until, like, that last season aired. They're like, okay, you guys can do brand deals now.

[Eddie]

And that's just from the pressure of. Well, and look, I don't. I'm not on. Pro pay them less. Pro pay them more. I don't know enough about it. But I'm just talking generally. If you talk about cheerleaders, sure, I can. But I'm just talking generally. Okay. If there's a brand that you're a part of, like, Our company could say, and they do to a lot of people, hey, you can't do brand deals on social media. That nothing to do with us. They literally can tell us that in my contract. Specifically, I have. They can't do that. And that was hard for me to get. You guys don't have that now. They haven't stepped in and cut anybody out. But I had to fight in a negotiation, whenever I hated the company, I was pissed at. It's like, much like Micah. So the company could step in and go like, hey, you're doing brand deals that are actually not good for our image, so we're not going to let you do that. And that is such an image, that's such a glory position to be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, that that's probably why they didn't want them out doing tummy tea or Johnson and Johnson dildos. Like, I don't know what they're doing, but it's mostly good dildos. Who knows?

[Kevin]

That's in the WNBA games now.

[Eddie]

You make the money that your employer thinks it would cost to replace you. That's it. And so they think, okay, we're not paying them much. One goes down, grab another one. Everybody wants to be this. Like, why would you pay them more? It's not every job. That's every job.

[Mike]

It's so crazy how transparent they are with money in sports. You know, like negotiation. Like there's nowhere else. Like you don't have a CEO of, you know, just a random company negotiating for his new contract. And we're all watching it. Like, that would be awesome.

[Eddie]

Publicly traded companies, a lot of times that's put out. And government jobs like head coaches, that's out there. Sports. Yeah. And move and entertainment. It's out there a lot.

[Mike]

Like, I'd love to see Jeff Bezos, like, negotiate his next.

[Eddie]

Well, he doesn't have to. He owns it. Oh, but you see, like the American Idol guys, their contracts come out. They're like, Luke Bryan's making crazy 12 million. So there are a lot of professions, I think high profile positions, most of them, that money, at most that money is out there, what they're making. But Michael Parsons, I think he'll be a cowboy. Yeah, but the fact that he wrote I don't want to be a cowboy anymore, I think he's open to leaving. And it's not just a tactic. I think it's a tactic, but I don't think it's just a tactic. Yeah, I don't think he's going to take way less. But he's going to get the most he can from his way less. I think if it doesn't match what he wants, he's out. And that would be concerning to me as a Cowboys fan.

[Mike]

You think they pay him what he wants?

[Eddie]

I mean, with the salary cap, you can always kick the money a few years back. Look at his history of paying Zeke and Dak. They eventually got there and there was all I remember Dak is like, is he going to play first game? And like the day before, they got it done like two years ago. So, yeah, he'll probably get it.

[Mike]

I saw a pretty good trade off I could probably get it from. Is that Atlanta maybe?

[Eddie]

There's no trade offer. That's people making up trade offers.

[Mike]

That is pretty awesome.

[Kevin]

There's your parody account.

[Eddie]

Yes. Those aren't real trade offers.

[Mike]

Do you see the DEZ Bryant thing?

[Eddie]

I saw him getting pissed on Twitter.

[Mike]

Because of what Jerry said.

[Eddie]

He mentioned dez.

[Mike]

Yeah. And Jay Z tell the story. So Jerry's talking about just negotiating. And he said, back in the day, you know, I had to negotiate with Jay Z for DEZ Bryant. He's like. And I made a deal with Jay Z that, like, he cannot be late. Like, okay, if he can promise not to be late at practice or games or anything, it's on you, Jay Z. And he said, and Jay Z didn't answer my calls a few times. Just ignored me and like, so I thought that was a cool story.

[Eddie]

Out of nowhere, though, he's like bringing in people for the sake of a good story.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. So good luck to Micah. I do want to talk about this clip. This is from the Portland Pickles, the minor league team who's baseball. It's a minor league team in Portland where they. They'll grab a fan from in the stands and they get to come. It's very Savannah Banana feeling. But everybody has to do that now, right? Find what people do awesome and take from them to make your product more awesome. But they take a random fan from the stands and they get to having a bat. So the fan comes down the first at bat and walks. Wow.

[Mike]

Second just didn't swing. That's what I would do.

[Eddie]

I don't know. The first at bat wasn't on TikTok, but I went to look and see if it was real.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Eddie]

So from what I read, the first at bat, he walked. He comes back up. Second at bat. This is in the game. It's minor league, so it doesn't really matter.

[Mike]

So you get picked at the beginning of the game. And you can play the entire game.

[Eddie]

You don't play the entire game, but you get one at bat and a walk. A walk's not considered a bat. Got it. And so second at bat, he goes up and this pitcher is throwing hard like he's really. I mean, he's throwing sliders, he's throwing fastballs.

[Mike]

This is our lucky fan that gets to take it at bat tonight. Dixie, we appreciate the heck out of you. So Dixie 4, Jamie McGraw, question mark. Payoff pitch high fly ball, left center field. Are you kidding me? Four letters, one word. Oh, God. I'm standing here watching the replay because I still can't effing believe that happened.

[Eddie]

You hit a homer is a 2. 2 pitch. And he jacked it.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Had to have played baseball somewhere, but doesn't look like a like an athlete. Doesn't not look like an athlete, but you don't see him and go like, this is a ringer.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Would you agree, Mike?

[Gator]

Yeah, Just like a regular dude.

[Eddie]

He looks like a dude, but for sure. You can tell by a swing he's played ball somewhere before. And it's two, two. And I saw the pitches leading up to it and the pitcher was throwing hard throw. I think he hit a slider out.

[Mike]

It's amazing.

[Eddie]

Jacked it. It was awesome. So if you haven't seen that Portland Pickles clip, give it a run there.

[Mike]

That's cool.

[Eddie]

I did watch both nights of SummerSlam. That was really good, I thought. I know. Mike, you watch it too. Kevin, did you watch it?

[Kevin]

I did not.

[Eddie]

Eddie.

[Mike]

No, man.

[Eddie]

Okay, you guys are acting like wrestling is as big as bigger than NBA and baseball right now.

[Gator]

First time they've done two nights too.

[Eddie]

For Summer Slam and in a football stadium.

[Mike]

Can I gamble in wrestling?

[Eddie]

They did it in Met Life. No.

[Mike]

Then I ain't watching.

[Eddie]

I thought night one was better than night two.

[Gator]

Night one was my favorite.

[Eddie]

And they usually build it where night two is obviously bigger and better. But I thought, I love that CM Punk won the title. And then. Yeah. And then Seth came out. That was super cool. And then night two, John Cena and Cody Rhodes and it as an adult. Mike, you can answer this too. Do you feel weird watching the matches, that one of them are gonna get hurt every time?

[Gator]

Yeah, I didn't feel that way as a kid, but now, even when Jelly Roll was out there, I'm like, man, he's gonna get her. He's got to cancel the tour because.

[Mike]

You guys are older now and understand.

[Eddie]

And know what it's like, to get hurt. And also, like, they're not superheroes. Like, they're real people.

[Bobby Bones]

I looked at their ages last night.

[Gator]

I was doing the same thing.

[Eddie]

Because I'm like, these guys are gonna hurt themselves. Like, I'm worried. I'm like, oh, God, they're gonna hurt themselves. John Cena, 48.

[Mike]

Oh, 100, dude. Yeah. You can't bounce back from an injury as quick as you used to.

[Eddie]

The Young Cody Rhodes, 40.

[Mike]

Is Cody, the blonde one, huh?

[Gator]

With the neck Tattoo?

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's 40.

[Gator]

Yeah. That's wild.

[Eddie]

And he's like the future of the company. At 40. I can still wrestle then, it sounds like.

[Gator]

And for me, it's not so much the slams, but whenever they get, like, thrown at a ring or like.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Gator]

They jump from. I'm like, man, they're gonna, like, tear something.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too.

[Gator]

You can't, like, fake that.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Mike]

That jelly roll, dude, that jump, I mean, that was far away.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But again, I'm sure that hurt. But they know how to land. And he's doing the frog. And his knees are able to take some of that, like, Logan Paul. His knees and his arms are able to take some of that splash off of jelly. So it's not just like, oh, but yeah, the, like, the neck stuff and the jumps, the pile of drivers. Yes. I'm always like, somebody's about to get hurt. And then watching Unreal and seeing, like, when people do get hurt. But Seth Rollins faked a leg injury for months. He got hurt and then went hosted Rich Eisen show. Rich thought he was hurt. He's still on crutches. He was doing social media videos with his kid on crutches. Like, kept it the whole time. He came out money in the bank, and everybody's like, oh, he's still hurt. And he drops the crutches. It goes down a beach. Like, kept it so real in his personal life too.

[Mike]

It's amazing.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, that's good. It was two nights in a football stadium.

[Mike]

Is that pay per view?

[Eddie]

No, Peacock. There's really no pay per view anymore.

[Gator]

No, it'd been on Peacock and then.

[Eddie]

Netflix is on withdraw. Netflix. Peacock, yeah.

[Mike]

So. So UFC's and boxing are the only pay per views now.

[Eddie]

And it's not about wrestling, not making money. It's. They're making big, big, big money by signing these deals with Peacock. With Netflix. Yeah.

[Gator]

I remember as a kid, I could never watch him because, like, pay per view, I'm not paying. My parents are gonna pay 80 bucks for that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, it was. It Was super cool. I don't like it when they do it in a football stadiums though. I feel like some of it's lost in sound audio like meaning when it's enclosed the pops are louder because there's a roof.

[Gator]

It does take you out of it a little bit when you just see people like walking around in the background. You see them like going to the restroom, you're like, oh man, they're not even paying attention.

[Mike]

Where were these?

[Eddie]

MetLife? New York Giants, Jets. Yeah.

[Gator]

I also don't know how good of a live experience that it is because I went to SummerSlam here when it was in Nashville and it's such a big stadium. It's hard to feel like the energy of it and even like watching it. You're like, is he flipping him? Like who is?

[Bobby Bones]

It's so far away and they do.

[Eddie]

Have screens up but even the screenshots don't feel like Dallas Cowboy or they.

[Gator]

Have like the stage light. Some people are like completely blinded because they just have a big bright light in their face because they're lighting it for tv.

[Eddie]

It reminds me that MLB did their Speedway Classic in Br. Still the Reds and the Braves. It was too big. It was too big for a baseball game and it was a disaster anyway. The structure, the infrastructure to like serve food, bathrooms was terrible. They called it Firefest Baseball.

[Gator]

The buttonless hot dogs.

[Eddie]

The buttonless hot dogs.

[Gator]

Nachos with no cheese.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was a disaster. And also it was cool to see looking at it when if you weren't there because it was massive.

[Mike]

It was cool to see the, the drone shot, you know where you kind of see half of the speedway being used.

[Eddie]

They could have fit two major league ballparks in that stadium.

[Mike]

You know what looks fun and I've never been to this but when they play hockey outside, that looks cool because that seems like the way I see though.

[Eddie]

It's like when Nebraska played volleyball on the football stadium.

[Mike]

Oh right.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's hot. Yeah. I think the environment would be fun because it's such a one off or once a year type thing.

[Mike]

Or if it's snowing outside.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's cool. All right, break. We'll come back.

Here's what I love about Impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body. And it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants.

[Bobby Bones]

It grills like beef.

[Eddie]

It's not or it's and it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without.

[Bobby Bones]

The guilt of meat. Impossible.

[Eddie]

Let you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

[Bobby Bones]

We played round three of our golf tournament. It was hot as crap too. And so the video's up. If you want to watch it, just go over to Bobby Bones Sports. And it was me, Eddie, our friend Gator and Kane Brown. And so we were Kind of rushed because Gator was late. He was like, I'm going to be late. So I had to move our time back a few minutes. Kane went to the wrong club.

[Mike]

Oh, that's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Like 20 minutes away. Same part, same town, but went to the wrong club. And so he, we're waiting on him and so they're like, you guys got to go. So we're like rushing up to the tee. So we started. And in golf you never want to have to like be hastily started.

[Kevin]

Yep.

[Eddie]

But I parted the first hole and.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, okay, that felt terrible.

[Eddie]

But I park out of our there.

[Mike]

What's crazier though is they didn't tell me. And it's such a mental game. Golf is so mental. And they changed up the order. We started in 10.

[Bobby Bones]

On hole 10.

[Mike]

Yeah, we started on hole 10. Where like mentally me is like, I was so prepared on driving range to start on one and how I was going to attack one that it just threw me off.

[Bobby Bones]

So we start playing it hot as crap. We're sweating. That's par for the course. Pun intended here. Cuz it's hot every afternoon.

[Kevin]

It's miserable for months straight here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Mike]

Like hot and wet.

[Bobby Bones]

And so we're playing and our hands are sweaty and our knees are weak and weak. No. Oh, I'm in love.

[Eddie]

I'm all.

[Bobby Bones]

And we start playing and we're bouncing back and forth.

[Eddie]

He's up.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm up. Going to 18. I think I was up 4. I tripled 18, had a terrible hole. Terrible hole. I ended up winning by one stroke. So after three rounds, I'm up four strokes as we go into the final round.

[Mike]

That's going to be tough, man.

[Bobby Bones]

The whole thing was tough. I mean, you haven't beat me one single round.

[Mike]

I know. So now assuming that for me to win this thing, I have to beat you by five, five strokes, it just seems impossible.

[Kevin]

Now, let me ask you this, Bobby, because you just said you triple bogey the last one. And the score was close, I assume. So like, is Ed, can you see in Eddie's face? Is he like, oh, this is my shot? But then it kind of gets to him a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, because we have a triple max, that's the worst you can get. I. He knew he couldn't actually catch up, but I think he was really counting on trimming those strokes back. So I was up two or three the last three or four holes. So I, I think going into 18, he had given up winning for the day. He just wanted to trim as Many.

[Eddie]

Strokes off as possible.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We also had. The first time ever we had a. And you can tell us what you would do.

[Eddie]

We had a controversial controversy.

[Gator]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Something called the Poison Ivy roll.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a ball.

[Mike]

Hey, well, hold on, hold on. Kevin, have you ever heard of the Poison Ivy rule?

[Kevin]

I have not. I've heard of Poison Ivy, but not the Poison Ivy rule.

[Mike]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a ball in Poison Ivy.

[Kevin]

In, like, in a bush or in the.

[Mike]

Oh, it was in tall rough. Tall rough. Like, it actually wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

It was on top.

[Mike]

It would have been impossible to get that.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't want to tell you whose ball it was. It wasn't impossible because it was on top of it. Literally on top of it. And I was going to hit it out of it, and Brandon's like, let me look at the pictures. And he's like, that's Poison Ivy all around it. So I said, okay, I'll just drop backward from the Poison Ivy. And it's like, it's fine, whatever. So I moved. I went backward.

[Mike]

Sticks it on the ground.

[Eddie]

Like, you would.

[Kevin]

Had to step in it or just hit the ball.

[Unknown]

I was in it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it was all it was.

[Mike]

Hey, I had to step off, though. Dude, it's golf.

[Kevin]

Play it as it lies. Is that what you're saying, Eddie?

[Mike]

That's pretty much what I'm saying. I mean, the rule was, was if it's. You're gonna damage your club, you're on a rock.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can damage your body by being in Poison Ivy.

[Mike]

The club is what we said, not the body.

[Bobby Bones]

You're also. Eddie's, like, wants gimmes now, too. So he started to. He's like, gimme, gimme.

[Kevin]

Like on putts.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Oh, I thought that wasn't a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's a thing, but he's been a little more wanting generosity on his.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And Hetty, this is how I go. Any role would I give it to him if he's in Poison? Of course. Like, he's gonna ruin his life for, like, six days, and he's gonna have to put calamine lotion on, like, move it backward. You don't get a better lie. And also, the ball wasn't in the rough. It was laying on top of a bunch of, like, grass.

[Mike]

It was like. It was like Oakmont, man. Like, grass as high as your knees. But no, he moved it.

[Kevin]

He moved it out of the.

[Eddie]

I moved it backward from the Poison Ivy.

[Mike]

Nice little plush Bermuda.

[Bobby Bones]

It actually was closer to the water.

[Kevin]

Andy, let me.

[Bobby Bones]

Not in the fairways.

[Kevin]

Let me ask you this, okay? If there was no. If this, like, wasn't a bet and a whole thing going on, you guys are just playing for fun.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Kevin]

Would you have been like, yeah, you can move it.

[Mike]

Of course. 100.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Mike]

I. I would say almost everything that we argue about, that's considered a controversy.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't argue about anything. What he argues about, I argue.

[Mike]

Yeah. Because I don't cheat.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but that. That's not cheating. That's me going, hey, I was actually going to hit the ball. And Brandon's like, whoa, that is poison ice.

[Mike]

Brandon, the photographer, Shut your mouth.

[Bobby Bones]

He looked at it with his phone and identified it by using an app.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And he goes, that's poison ivy. Because I was. That's another thing. I was walking up to hit it off of it, and Brandon's like, that's poison. I'm like, I'm not hitting out a poison ivy. That's stupid. I wasn't, like, begging to move my ball from initially. I was gonna hit it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Am I hitting it in poison ivy?

[Mike]

I mean, it. If he would have hit it where it was, he would have had to just punch out to get it back in the fairway.

[Eddie]

Is that true?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Eddie]

It was.

[Mike]

There was no way you're gonna get that out. There was weeds.

[Bobby Bones]

It was on top of the. Yeah.

[Mike]

But in front of it, there were weeds. And so the fact that pushed it out, or he dropped it on some nice little Bermuda grass. He sticks it on the green.

[Kevin]

Brandon didn't happen to take, like, a video or picture or anything, right?

[Eddie]

He might have.

[Mike]

I know Brandon did. I mean, and then it's like, Brandon, like, just be quiet.

[Bobby Bones]

I was going to hit the ball from the poison ivy.

[Eddie]

I'd already started to walk up to it, and it's like, that's poison Ivy. Because I said, is that poison Ivy? And Ed's like, no, no.

[Mike]

I said, I've never seen poison ivy. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, okay, I hit.

[Eddie]

It out of it.

[Bobby Bones]

And right as I'm walking out, Brandon's like, whoa, whoa. It's poison ivy. And then I said, do you care? Can I take a backward drop? Then I'll go backward from it?

[Eddie]

And it's like, yeah, sure, whatever.

[Kevin]

So at the time, you didn't care, and then you thought about it a little bit more, or.

[Mike]

No, no, I wasn't happy about it. But it's like, whatever. Like, whatever you want.

[Kevin]

And you're in shorts, obviously, so it's not like. Yeah, I mean, if you're actually in it, it's golf. That's not worth it, dude. That's not worth it at all, man.

[Mike]

For 500 or I go to his house and cook in a Superman costume. I think it's worth it.

[Bobby Bones]

But it wasn't for $500. It was one hole.

[Mike]

Who knows what that could have done?

[Kevin]

That was, like, the final hole. You guys are tied.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Even then. That's tough, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, what do you think?

[Gator]

As poison Ivy's no joke. It's not worth it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like, Mike, but he gets mad.

[Bobby Bones]

He finds something to be irritated about.

[Eddie]

When he loses every round.

[Kevin]

Well, I was going to say. I mean, that sucks, Eddie, but it sounds like there's been plenty of opportunities.

[Eddie]

Plenty. Because I play terrible.

[Mike]

There have been plenty of opportunities. I just. I'm missing putts left and right. There was this one putt that was like, two feet or whatever. And I, you know, to. To piggyback to you being like, oh, give me. I said, hey, is this good? He says, it's up to you. What am I supposed to do with up to you?

[Bobby Bones]

If someone says up to you, I take it every time. Okay, cool.

[Eddie]

Pick it up.

[Mike]

It's up to you.

[Bobby Bones]

No, do you know what?

[Eddie]

I was.

[Bobby Bones]

I was, like, 70ft behind him. I wasn't even up on the green.

[Kevin]

Oh, you didn't even really know I was in the car and see, like, where it was?

[Gator]

No, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

I was in the cart, and he was on the green, and he goes, is this close. I said, it's up to you, because I literally couldn't see what it was.

[Kevin]

So you just trust his judgment?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And he putted it and missed it. Oh, no.

[Mike]

Yes. And I missed it.

[Kevin]

Okay, that's on you.

[Eddie]

But I was at least 50 yards back.

[Kevin]

Hey, I'm with you, Eddie.

[Mike]

Where?

[Kevin]

I'm like, all right. Yeah, I'll show you. It's up to me. I'll freaking do this.

[Bobby Bones]

But my. It's up to you. With some so far back. That's why I said that. I'm like, dude, it was so hot.

[Eddie]

I don't want to get out of the car. I was in the shade.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, dude, it's up to.

[Eddie]

You, because I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I trust him.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he misses the putt. I don't even know if he gave it to himself after he hit it. So I said, did you give that to yourself? And he goes, no. I'm like, oh, okay. But then he blames me for that credit.

[Mike]

Like, if I take that one and then I don't give him one later, he's like, oh, really? You know, you give this to me. But really, even after I said to.

[Bobby Bones]

You I did nothing, I actually was.

[Eddie]

Very generous with that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it's up to you.

[Eddie]

I can't even see it.

[Bobby Bones]

And then somehow that comes back on me, like I did something wrong.

[Mike]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So do you see how this is going?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

If we were on Golf Channel, dude, we'd be viral right now. Everybody be like, oh, God, did you see that drop a poison ivy. There'd be a hashtag right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there wouldn't be poison ivy on a course on the Golf Channel.

[Mike]

There wouldn't?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Mike]

You're telling me there's no poison ivy at Bethpage?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm pretty much telling you that you.

[Kevin]

Should probably take that out.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're three, and we have one more round to go, and I'm up four strokes.

[Mike]

I'm gonna need a spectacular round. Like three birdies.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so.

[Mike]

Four birdies.

[Bobby Bones]

I think had you shot at 85, which you've shot many times before, even this last round, we'd be tighter. You be in the lead. But you played poor. I played poor?

[Kevin]

Yeah. It sounds like you had a day to take advantage, and you did.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I told them. I was like, man, if you'd have just played not even as good as you normally do, like, even a little worse than you normally do, you'd have gained. It was so. It was so hot. Yeah, it was one of those where your glove gets so wet they have to take it off. Like, dried off when you go to the neck just from sweat.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Mike]

Oh. It was drenched. Like, you.

[Kevin]

You try to BRINGGING Two shirts, three shirts.

[Eddie]

Well, I didn't do all that.

[Kevin]

Oh, I've done that.

[Mike]

But we had towels, like, just. It was really wet.

[Bobby Bones]

We're, like, wetting them, putting on our heads. It was that kind of day. I was reading a story about celebrities who've had poor money management and lost it all. And I think of athletes, too. I was. There was a tweet that happened yesterday, and a guy was like, hey, I.

[Eddie]

Just play in the NFL.

[Bobby Bones]

It was anonymous.

[Eddie]

He said a lot of these guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Would have these contracts, like, five, six hundred thousand dollars a year. So not minimum, but also they're not making the millions of dollars. They would already spend their money before they even get it. And they're basically have no money during the year because they get that money. They spend it. Then when they retire, they have nothing or not. Even retire when they just don't make a team anymore. Like, they're broke, yet they made $3 million over six or seven years, but they have nothing because they spend it.

[Eddie]

At such a pace.

[Bobby Bones]

And they always imagine it's always going to come, and it doesn't. I think that's a pretty common thing. That's why they also have these classes and these seminars with the athletes before their rookie year to go, this money ain't going to last. Like, you have a window. But the same thing could be said about celebrities. And so here we go. I want to go 10 to 1. 10 celebrities who had poor money management and lost it all. Some did get it back.

[Mike]

So these are all celebs, not just athletes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Number 10, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. They were on the Hills on mtv. At the height of their fame, they brought in over $2 million a year, according to People magazine. However, the couple spent a million bucks on clothing for Heidi, another 1 million on a crystal collection for Spencer. Expensive dinners with $3,000. So it goes on, but they talk about spending all their money, but this is one, they probably grew up around money, and I'm not sure if they had money. But two, you just think it's always going to come when it's coming at a rapid rate, like it was when you're young, especially. So they probably thought, we'll always be famous and be making this money so we can spend this money. And also having a lot of enablers around.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Does that as well. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Especially if you're young.

[Mike]

Did they bounce back a bit.

[Bobby Bones]

So during the fires, they lost their house. It's a pretty big house, but I think they ended up getting some more fame and notoriety and some deals because they were some of the ones speaking out. He's still fighting with, like, the California lawmakers, Spencer is. So I don't know if they ever bounce back, like, making millions a year, but I don't think they're, like, poor. Right, Mike, Wasn't that the big narrative? Yeah. He's like, I'm not a multimillionaire anymore.

[Gator]

He was trying to make money on TikTok. So he was like, watch my videos so I can make money from this. And then Heidi used Montag. Her, like, career and music kind of came back again because people started going back and listening to her music just to support her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So I don't think they're on the hook for paying bills, but I don't think they're. I don't think they're multi millionaires. Again, number nine, Johnny Depp. He was earning about 650 million bucks through his career up to this point.

[Mike]

Is this before the lawsuit?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he had faced several financial challenges. His downfall won his spendthrift habits. $2 million monthly. He was spending. Bro, $30,000 on wine alone. Even $3 million to blast Hunter S. Thompson's ashes from a cannon, dude.

[Kevin]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

But 30. 30 grand a month on wine. So you're looking at. You're looking at, you know, almost 400,000 bucks a year on wine.

[Mike]

And it sounds stupid, right? Like, oh man, how much did he drink? But a. You can get a bottle of wine for like. Yeah, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he going Kroger. He going to Kroger.

[Kevin]

He ain't getting our bottles of wine.

[Mike]

No, he's not.

[Bobby Bones]

Nicholas Cage accumulated $150 million fortune. He is notorious for his eccentric and highly illiquid investments, which means it takes forever to sell them. Like liquid. Means you have the cash. Like buying a house. Not liquid, but it can be liquid, ish.

[Eddie]

Pretty quick as soon as you sell it.

[Bobby Bones]

But when he bought like a dinosaur.

[Mike]

Yeah, we've heard of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, years ago.

[Mike]

He's a big collector, right? Is that what you're saying?

[Bobby Bones]

He spent all this money on a dinosaur skull and had to return to the Mongolian government. I don't think they gave him money back for it.

[Mike]

Oh, that's just a straight loss.

[Bobby Bones]

He owned 15 houses around the world, including two European castles. Imagine the upkeep on those.

[Mike]

Man, all the people working around there.

[Bobby Bones]

And then it seems like he wasn't paying his taxes. He owed the IRS $6.3 million in face foreclosures on multiple properties.

[Mike]

But he's good, right?

[Eddie]

I would think he's okay coming out of the movies.

[Mike]

Is he probably good?

[Eddie]

I would think he's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Kim Basinger.

[Mike]

Oh yeah, she was like hot back.

[Bobby Bones]

In the day, right? Was like one of those hot actresses. Like, oh, Kim Basinger.

[Eddie]

I like to get with that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that type of person.

[Mike]

Yeah, I feel like she was. She was in Batman. The Michael Keaton Batman.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

She was the love interest.

[Bobby Bones]

She bought a whole town for 20 million bucks.

[Mike]

I think she was also 8 mile.

[Bobby Bones]

She reportedly planned to revitalize the town and build a movie studio there. However, the actor backed out of a film she'd agreed to star in. The studio suitor, she was ordered to pay 8 million bucks. She filed for bankruptcy, reached a settlement. Apparently she lost a bunch of money. 50 Cent, he was one of the biggest rappers of 2000s, but lost a multimillion dollar lawsuit. He filed for bankruptcy in 2015 with $36 million in debts and assets of less than 20 million. So it looks like he's about 16 million in the hole.

[Kevin]

Oh, what about Vitamin Water? Didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I think this is after, right, Mike?

[Gator]

Yeah, it's after.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think he's wanted to bounce back. Oh, but he was way, way in the hole.

[Mike]

Do you imagine if you owed millions that would hurt so bad?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he owed 36 million and had a total of 20 million. So even if he sold everything he had, he'd still be on the hook for 16 million.

[Kevin]

Where do you even start?

[Bobby Bones]

You just yell hit the road. You just get out. And declared bankruptcy. I declare bankruptcy.

[Mike]

And then you just start hitting the road, man. Play everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I thought you meant, like, run.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Kevin]

I meant, like, play shows, leave the country.

[Mike]

Like Willie. You know, when Willie owed all that money, he just released a record.

[Bobby Bones]

Willie's next. Despite being one of the most successful country artists of all time, Willie Nelson found himself in deep trouble with the IRS in 1990. His property, including a golf course and recording studio, was seized across six states. He did an album, the IRS tapes who Will Buy My Memories? To pay off his $16 million debt.

[Mike]

That's what he called it.

[Kevin]

So cool.

[Bobby Bones]

It didn't cover the full amount. It made a dent, and he ended up paying it off later. He owed $16 million to the IRS.

[Mike]

What was cool about that, Kevin, is that fans would go to these auctions that. That they were auctioning off his stuff that they took from the recording studio. His guitar like that. We all know that the hole in it, like, fans would be like, I'll buy it for whatever. And then they give back to Willie back just so you can get it back.

[Kevin]

Dang, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Chris Tucker from Friday from you via.

[Mike]

The words coming out of my mouth.

[Bobby Bones]

Rush hour.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He earned 25 million bucks for the third movie alone. But in 2021, he was sued by the IRS for $9.6 million in unpaid tax liabilities.

[Eddie]

Guys.

[Bobby Bones]

He reached a settlement and agreed to pay $3.6 million. It wasn't his first running with the IRS. According to the Hollywood Reporter, he settled a 14 million dollar bill with the IRS in 2014.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Mike]

Like, you probably don't know the answer to this, but is this a bad accountant or a. Or like, we know what we're doing, maybe we just won't get caught.

[Bobby Bones]

It could be no accountant or it could be we have a strategy in place. Because what happens whenever you're doing a movie or you're doing most creative work like this job, I get paid a salary, but any other jobs that I have, for the most part, I get paid per me doing it. So they don't take taxes out. So they give you the whole check and they expect you to pay out.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

At the end of the year. And so these actors, they don't get paid from a company going, we've already taken the taxes out. They get there, hey, we'll pay you 5 million bucks for this film. You get the full 5 million. Okay. You just go and start spending the 5 million. And so if you have an accountant and they're like, we should go ahead and put 1.2 out, 2.1 out, then that's a smart accountant that knows what they're doing. But some would go, hey, we'll get to that. Well, punt a couple times. Asked for a delay. Ask for a. What do they call it?

[Mike]

Oh, extension.

[Bobby Bones]

Extension. And you're so extended. And you owe all this money and maybe you've spent beyond your extension. But mostly that's what happens in Hollywood. When these creatives owe all the taxes, it's because they don't have a job that takes out the taxes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so it comes back around. They've already spent the money they should have saved.

[Kevin]

But if he. He had what, 9 million, but they settled for 3, so he kind of won, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but he had another $14 million as well. The guy just apparently didn't pay taxes at all. I'm not even sure if I. Taxes at the store. Bought some gum, refused to pay taxes. T Pain. T Pain recalled being mega rich and losing it all and then becoming wealthy again. The singer once had $40 million in the bank. But bad real estate investments and poor spending decisions, like buying a Bugatti and returning it five months later for $400,000 less than he paid.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Left him broke.

[Mike]

That's what they say as soon as you drive out of the lot.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It depreciates. And I guess it depreciates like crazy. Probably at the same percentage rate.

[Kevin]

But if you're buying a million dollar car.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dude. I assume that is like a three million dollar car.

[Mike]

Bugatti.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the one that he bought.

[Mike]

I don't even know what that is.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a Lamborghini. It's not a Lamborghini. Reed and I were fighting about if it was a Lamborghini or not. It's not a Lamborghini.

[Mike]

What was he saying? It's a Lamborghini.

[Bobby Bones]

No, both of us were wrong. We were just, we just didn't know. And we were like, is it a Lamborghini? And so we didn't know. So we were both wrong.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Gator]

A base model of a Bugatti is $3 million. They have a 5.8 million dollar car, a 9 million dollar car and a 10 million dollar car.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is why it's easy to go back for $400,000 less at a car starting at around 3 million bucks. MC Hammer, that's a very famous story.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Heard of that one. Entourage, right? Didn't he have like a huge entourage?

[Bobby Bones]

Travel with a bunch of folks, paid for everybody. Paid for everybody to do stuff. But yeah, Forbes estimated his 1990 income at $33 million. In 1990, that's like 60 million now. But he enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle and built a custom mansion on 12.5 acres with two swimming pools, a nine car garage, four dishwashers. They put that in there.

[Kevin]

Four dishwashers.

[Bobby Bones]

You can do that for five grand.

[Mike]

If I really want it, I could buy four dishwashers.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's like the high class dishwash.

[Gator]

It was a Bugatti dishwasher.

[Kevin]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And a rehearsal hall. He filed for bankruptcy in 1996 with debts totaling at least $13 million. And then, number one, hold on.

[Mike]

Before you move on. So where is he at?

[Bobby Bones]

So he then relaunched his career. But he's like a pastor. He was a pastor for a while. I don't know where he is now. I can ask my assistant.

[Mike]

Oh, ask her. See if she knows. She knows exactly where he is. He's at Target.

[Kevin]

He's at the Dollar store.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a question. I got poor connection because the Internet sucks.

[Mike]

Ah, come on. We have an important question.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me try again. I have a question about the rapper MC Hammer. We were talking about how much money he made and then he filed for bankruptcy. And we were curious what he's doing now and if he's rich again.

[Eddie]

NC Hammer definitely had quite the journey. After his massive success in the 90s and then filing for bankruptcy in 1996, he reinvented himself as a tech entrepreneur. He's been involved in the tech world, investing in companies like Twitter and a few others. These days his net worth is estimated to be around $2 million. So he's definitely bounced back pretty good.

[Kevin]

Solid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, especially from where he was.

[Mike]

Not bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Hammer in the hole.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Hammer didn't hurt him.

[Bobby Bones]

Number one.

[Kevin]

Anybody sports Mike Tyson?

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Mike]

Oh, Mike Tyson.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike Tyson is a prime example of A celebrity who lost it all. Despite earning an estimated $400 million during his boxing career, he filed for bankruptcy in 2003. His lavish spending, which included exotic animals like tigers, expensive cars and extravagant mansions, coupled with legal battles and financial mismanagement, led to his downfall. Some of the things he's known for buying a $2 million bathtub made of solid gold.

[Mike]

That's awesome.

[Kevin]

They make dishwashers and gold.

[Bobby Bones]

Four of them. He owned multiple mansions, including one with tiger cages and a nightclub. Inside, he kept exotic pets like a white Bengal tiger with which not only did he pay a lot for cost tens of thousands per month to maintain.

[Mike]

You got to feed it steak.

[Bobby Bones]

Bought dozens of luxury cars, many of which he gave away as gifts, and spent heavily on jewelry, clothes and entourages, reportedly traveling with as many as 50 people.

[Eddie]

That's crazy because I traveled like three of you knuckleheads and I'm like, that's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm in the hole. I think. I'm like, I'm going to be like MC Hammer. I'm going to go broke. That's with you three and cramming two of you in a room.

[Mike]

That's like one dinner.

[Eddie]

Yes. Yeah, that's wild.

[Kevin]

There was a, you know Jim Gray, the sports. Yeah. He had a book called something like Goats and he has a bunch of stories about all these different goats. And one chapter is Tyson. And he said before one of his fights he's with him in Vegas and he had a Lambo or something like that. Just bought it that day and then crashed into something and then just gave it to the valet guy. He's like, I don't want this anymore. You take it and just gave it to him.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like a five dollar bill to some people. Yeah, probably at the time of what he had. Yeah, it's like, it's like you get a $5 bill in your pocket. You're like here, man, you can, you can have this. Sure. But then once it all goes away, you wish I had that five dollar bill back. And then, oh, that's tough.

[Eddie]

Anyway, I thought that was pretty interesting.

Here's what I love about Impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body and it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants.

[Bobby Bones]

It grills like beef.

[Eddie]

It's not or it's and it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right?
