Bobby Bones
Hey, guys, Bobby Bones here. And we have an episode we're going to do today. I don't really have a name for it. I've been working on some titles here. I think what we're going to go with today is, in case you missed it, five stories from this week that, in case you missed it, we're going to talk about and catch you up on. So, number one is the Michael Jackson biopic controversy. We're going to start with that. Eddie's here with me. So what do you know about the Michael Jackson movie so far?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
What I know is it's a biopic about a certain time of his life. So it ends somewhere, like in the 80s.
Bobby Bones
So that's what a lot of people are upset about. The upcoming film, Michael, is already a bit controversial, not for what it shows, but for what it leaves out. And when I first saw that, I thought, oh, they go through his whole life and he dies and they don't address the allegations, right? No, but it stops around 1984. It says so. I haven't seen the movie, but it says reports say the movie ends around 1984 before any of the abuse allegations. So the real debate is if you just stop before anything controversial happens, are you avoiding the truth, which I don't think so.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
No. The story ends.
Bobby Bones
And also I would rather them do a movie where they focus on a part of the life and be pretty thorough. As opposed to the Queen movie, which I thought Rami Malek was great in it, but it was Queen's. Like, we just picked up guitars now we're on Top of the Pops. They skipped so much. Seem fake.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yes. So
Bobby Bones
I haven't seen it. One of the other things I saw that was controversial is whenever the reviewer started to review it, it got terrible scores. Oh, wow. I think it was like 38%.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Oh, that's not good.
Bobby Bones
But now that humans are reviewing it, it's getting, like, in the 90s. So is it real? Humans even. Mike's here who does Mike's movie podcast. Mike with the reviews. It's all humans now.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Do you believe this?
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah, I think critics wanted to hate it because I think they thought it wasn't going to be done justice in any way. And they feel robbed of the story of not telling his entire life. It's kind of cool to hate it.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Is there a plan to have two movies?
Bobby Bones
I think if the first one does well, I think you do a second
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
one and then you can kind of address everything that people are thinking you cut out.
Bobby Bones
It's not like Lord of the Rings where they shoot them all at once and then put them out. Right. They didn't shoot both parts of the movie initially.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
It was going to be like a four hour movie his entire life. And then they restructured it, did some reshoots. So now that's why it's this version. There could be a part two.
Bobby Bones
Wait, did they already shoot then some of the back half and they just didn't use it?
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
I think they shot more than at one point. This was a three hour movie, so there could be more to the story.
Bobby Bones
I also, again, I don't know everything. I also don't think that Michael did it, the stuff that he's been accused of. So he was acquitted in court in 2005, full criminal trial, was found not guilty on all 14 counts.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So criminally he was found not guilty on 14 different counts. And so the argument for me is he was found not guilty. There was no physical evidence. In both the 1990s case and the 2005 trial, there was no definitive physical evidence presented. Much of that case relied on testimony, which then is interpretation, which is then you start dealing with people's motives.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Sure.
Bobby Bones
So in 1993, in a case that was settled out of court, supporters argue that settlements don't equal guilt. And I would agree with that a bit because I've learned recently that I was watching somebody who was getting sued talk about this and he was getting sued for, I'm going to make up a number $10 million. And he said, my lawyers came to me and said, there's about a 10% chance that we're going to lose this case. What we suggest you do is give 10% of what the settlement is. So he paid a million dollars.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
10% of the loss of the.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, what they're suing him for, which was $10 million. So he paid a million dollars. He said, I didn't do it. But my lawyers are like, there's a 10% chance you're gonna lose $10 million. So just because they settle, I do think there's just nuance now. So it is still weird. There was money.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Here's the deal. Who Made this movie. Who are the producers?
Bobby Bones
Well, Michael Jackson's nephew. Yeah.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
His son, Jafar, or nephew.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. What do you mean? He's the main actor.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he plays Michael Jackson.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Oh, so that's why he looks like him so much. Well, that makes sense. But like, if I'm producing the movie about you, for example. Right. I'm your best friend, I make the movie about you. I get to decide what goes in that movie. And if there was a part of your life that it was crazy because you were accused of something, but nothing ever came of it and no one knows, I wouldn't put it in the movie, like purposely. That's not what I want people to know you for. And plus, it just. I don't know, I just feel like that's a big part of not putting it in the movie as well.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You can also make the decision to cut the movie off at a certain
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
point or like they did.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
That's what they want to do with Bohemian Rhapsody. They wanted Freddie Mercury to die in the middle of the movie and then the rest of it be the band going on without him. Could you imagine that?
Bobby Bones
Because the people living were the ones doing it.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah. Brian Johnson. Brian May.
Bobby Bones
Brian May.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Brian May. He was like, yeah, he should die in the middle of the movie. And then it's about how we get
Bobby Bones
with Adam Lambert, the movies Queen with Adam Lambert.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
And we're like, who wants to watch that movie?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
We're good.
Bobby Bones
Michael Jackson. Inconsistent testimonies. Defenders point to claims that some accusers stories changed over time. The FBI reviewed aspects of the case over several years. No federal charges were ever filed. So to me, even though the controversy here is they did not put in the controversies, looking at it now, I don't feel. I do feel like he was a weird guy.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't feel like there's anything that we can point at and go, he did it. He's a bad guy. He touched kids. I don't feel like that happened. I don't feel like I can say that there's been concrete evidence. I get why people don't want the controversies in there. Also, just a weird time. Like there were like three channels and if all three channels said something, we just believed it.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, that's true. The networks.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. There was no Twitter, no independent news. You had three channels in a newspaper.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It's got to be tough too. Like when these, when they make ray, you know, or whatever, and you start talking about just like the infidelities and the dark side of these people that no one Knew it's got to be tough for family members to be like, hey, just tell the whole story. This, all of it. So everyone knows. Because what's the advantage? Like is the advantage of keep Elvis the way everyone knows Elvis or. No, just let it rip and let everyone know what Elvis did behind closed doors.
Bobby Bones
I think the advantage is if the movie feels grittier and real, more people will watch it. And you hope it's a net gain on what they take in from the person. If you go, we're just going to do. Mike, can you name a movie that was done a biopic and it was too glossy and it was so just nice to the person that it became almost unbelievable. Because if that happens and a family does that, it's so unbelievable we don't believe it and then we don't go watch it. It's not making any money. And if you're part of the family or you're part of the people that have the. You're gonna make money off of how successful the movie is. So I understand the sentiment.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But you got to put some real stuff in there because then people will question it's. It's legitimacy.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I did enjoy learning all that stuff about Ray.
Bobby Bones
You know, the heroin stuff's crazy.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I mean. Yeah, who knew? Who knew all that? So. Yeah, to your point. Yeah, that's. That's true.
Bobby Bones
But it's different. Like kids is different than heroin.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It's so different.
Bobby Bones
I just. Based on. As an adult because when I was a kid and that stuff was happening, I was like, Michael Jackson did it for sure. Because the news told me, Channel seven told me seven on your side told him Michael Jackson did it. So I believed it. I don't. In my heart now because of everything that I've seen as far as no convictions. I don't think he did. I think he was a weird guy. I think he grew up very troubled. I think his dad was awful to him. I think he was tiger wooded. That it was such discipline so hard and that he just wanted to be a kid. He never was able to grow out of that. I think that's where that landed.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Are you gonna watch this movie in theaters?
Bobby Bones
No, I don't watch anything in theaters. No. I'll stream it probably.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
I did fact check myself here because I told you that the movie was longer. They did spend $15 million to remove a scene that was about the allegations.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
They spent money to remove a scene.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah, because they had to go back and reshoot it. So they spent another $15 million to reshoot the ending, because that was involved in the ending of this. But there was a lawsuit from 1993 that they had to go back and fix.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I'll tell you what I would love to see, you know, the death scene of how it all ended, because we really don't know much about.
Bobby Bones
He overdosed with a IV in him, right? Didn't he?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That's what we hear.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Right?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
But I mean, for me, like. Like when the Doors. Like when the Doors came out and you get to see how Jim Morrison died in the bathtub and like, all that. Like, to me, that was like, closure of, like. Oh, the whole story of the guy.
Bobby Bones
You're weird, man. That's just weird. You just want to.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Hey, La Bamba, you know, you want to see.
Bobby Bones
But that was like. The death in La Bamba was actually the reason that story became even the story. Had they not died that young, I don't know that they would have been as famous as they are now. Because I think that happens to a lot of people. You die young when you've got a couple things going on. People go, oh, they would have created hits their whole life. You step with a lot of artists,
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
a lot of them. Yeah, that die young. I mean, I don't know, there's just something. Like, even the Elvis movie, like, there was no closure to Elvis's death. Like, I wanna. They talk about the toilet. Like, it would be cool to.
Bobby Bones
You wanna watch him sit on the toilet and die of a heart attack. Freaking weirdo.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I wanna see how the story ends. We're gonna do the life story. I do wanna see it all the way to the end.
Bobby Bones
I did think that the movie of Priscilla Presley is called Priscilla, I believe.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yes.
Bobby Bones
That was good.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It was a good movie.
Bobby Bones
And it kinda also showed Devil's kind of creepy.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. Yeah. But at the same time, she was very. Not. I wouldn't say defensive, but she was very, like, open and saying, like, no, he never did anything to me. Like, he was. He gave me his. His space. Like, he.
Bobby Bones
But you didn't. Didn't he? Like, you were there when she was like, 15.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Oh, yeah.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
She was really young. And he was older.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
And then he had permission from her parents to take her.
Bobby Bones
Wild man.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Crazy story. Wild, crazy story.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah. He was 24, she was 14.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God, it got worse.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, that's bad. That's bad.
Bobby Bones
And you almost want to say, whoop. Different times, but I don't know, man. I don't even know about that there. 1959, who cares? So that's the controversy with the Michael Jackson movie. Our mic is going to watch it this weekend. If it gets good reviews from Mike, I'll go watch it. If it's too.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Not go watch it. Stream it.
Bobby Bones
Sure, I'll stream it. If it's too corny.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah, I historically don't like using biopics, so I'm not going in with it because. Oh, like, they didn't address that. I'm not gonna like it if I just don't like the music part of it. It's gonna be weird, you know?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
What's that? You were asking Mike about a good glossy movie, and I think. I don't know if you ever saw it, but the Bob Marley movie that they made.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
That's what I was gonna say.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I would say, what was that, Mike, five years ago?
Bobby Bones
It was like, three years ago, Glossy. He wasn't like, Robin ready, like, going to Racers with guns.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
None of that.
Bobby Bones
Isn't that what he did? Like, he would go in and, like, take his gun into radio stations and make him play his music.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, I've heard that story from the Island Records guy. Yeah, he's told that story. And also to all the infidelity of, like, you know, his wife being in the band. But him having a bunch of, like, they barely touched on that stuff. But he has, like, a lot of kids, and they barely even.
Bobby Bones
Time, man.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Different time. But I'd say that was glossy because I really wanted to see some of the gritty stuff, and there was nothing really there.
Bobby Bones
All right, next up, we have five of these here. Shania Twain is hosting the ACMs, so it's about as big a get as you can get. Yeah, it was Reba the last couple years, Garth and Dolly before that. So it's about as big a get as you can get. So congratulations to the ACMs for getting Shania to host the show.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
They pay her for that.
Bobby Bones
It's not a lot.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
So it's like, what do you call it? A union fee or something?
Bobby Bones
No, it'd be more than that. Mostly it's the prestige of it. The last couple of years, it was Reba, and I was like, the second person up. I was actually on camera more, but I wasn't the host. That didn't sell me as the host. But then things would break and they'd be like, bobby, go out. And so like, the last three years I've been involved in that show, and all three years are like, man, you do this, you're next up to host the show. You're next up to host the show. And they only told me, like, a day and a half before. Look, there's no way I should have been hosting it over Shania. But for years, you do this. You do this, you'll be the guy. And so this year, I was like, I don't know. And they wouldn't say no. Wouldn't say no. Leading up to it. We've been talking about you. There's a shot. And then got the call. Yeah, it's going to be Shania.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Dang.
Bobby Bones
And I'm like, man, I wish you told me that, like, two months ago. Just say. Just say so again. Shania and Bobby, that would have worked.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Oh, that would have been real nice. I like the sound of that.
Bobby Bones
They did really lead me up to thinking, oh, the past few years, like, do this, do this. Because even me doing the show the last couple years with Reba, I was like, I love Reba, but I don't know, you get paid me standard fee or whatever. And so I'm losing money going out there. Like, who cares? I can do this. More people to watch for what I care for. And so, yeah, we got to call him. And I was like, son of a gun. And they're like, you can still come and present.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
You don't want to do that.
Bobby Bones
Nah, I'm good. And it's in Vegas. And shout out to Vegas.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Oh, it is in Vegas.
Bobby Bones
It's a long trip. Yeah, long trip. So congratulations to Shania. That is awesome. Not, congratulations to me. No, they walked me up to it. I just wish they would have said way early, like, hey, if it doesn't work with Shania, because everybody was waiting, like, oh, this is it. You said the last couple years, we do this, boom, out we go. So what?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Get him next time, kid.
Bobby Bones
Nah, there's no next time.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Okay, I'm done.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'm out. I'm done. Number three on the list. Did you hear about Madonna's wardrobe going missing after she performed with Sabrina Carpenter?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
No.
Bobby Bones
Anybody hear about that story? Mike, did you? Okay, so at Coachella, Madonna comes out and performs with Sabrina Carpenter is super cool. And so she comes out in one of her Madonna outfits. And Sabrina Carpenter had even put on a Madonna type outfit, although it's very much Sabrina now too. But they same vibe, same aesthetic. And so Madonna's outfits, like, they weren't just outfits. They were the items that she originally Wore during her 2000 Coachella debut. And so about 1:30 in the morning, a golf cart moving across the festival grounds had her clothes on it. And then they were gone.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
So now some reports say the belief is the bags fell off the back of the cart right on a dark,
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
bumpy road in the middle of the festival grounds.
Bobby Bones
I know. No evidence of the theft so far. Which is weird because if you just find a bag and it's got clothes in it, you probably turn it in if there are good intentions.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Or you at least look in it and be like, oh, this is Madonna's wardrobe.
Bobby Bones
Or this is some wardrobe. I should, like, take it to the visitor center. A vintage Gucci jacket, a lilac corset, YSL boots from the Tom Ford era, Dior glasses. So not just expensive, but significant. Madonna said, these aren't just clothes. They're part of my history. She's offering a reward for the return of these clothes. Wow. But people steal stuff all the time. Like, this is a memorabilia era we're in.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, I know.
Bobby Bones
If this were out. Well, there was also a story, too. Not memorabilia wise, but the person that was posing as Justin Timberlake's team and they stole all the golf carts. Do you guys know? Yeah, that's a whole funny story too. But this is an era where if you can steal, like something that has cultural significance, you can sell it back, Sell it in some sort of, I say black market. That's the cliche thing to say.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I mean, I would go ebay, but I mean, is that even like.
Bobby Bones
Well, they track that pretty easily, get busted pretty quick. You probably need a private seller for that one. So I pulled some of these other sports ones because this happens in sports all the time. After the Patriots super bowl comeback, Tom Brady's game worn jersey that was stolen directly out of the locker room was a big story. I remember this because there was no break in. It was just taken from a secure area. The thief was a credentialed journalist who had access to the room. He had actually stolen multiple items over time, including another Brady super bowl jersey and a Von Miller helmet.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It was his thing.
Bobby Bones
He just knew he had access.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Dang. And that's probably just a little sneaky little grab. There's a jersey right there.
Bobby Bones
No, for sure thought out. Oh, yeah, you think so to get Brady's. Yeah, for sure. Like, this is. I've done it before. This is the moment I can go. This is precisely where I'm gonna go. Otherwise, if you want to get, like, Gaskowski's jersey, that's much better. That one is Tom Brady's freaking jersey. So that was one. But they did catch the person. The FBI tracked It down to Mexico.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Recovered everything. So. And that wasn't about somebody breaking in. That was somebody that had access. Yeah. What do they say? The killers in the house or calls
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
coming from inside the house?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's what it is. The calls coming from inside the house. LeBron James, Miami Heat security guard, stole hundreds of pieces of memorabilia over time. One of the biggest items was LeBron's game seven jersey from the 2013 NBA Finals. The guard sold it for $100,000. It later resold at an auction for $3.7 million.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So this is. And now they know this. It was a slow, unnoticed operation this guy was doing for a long time.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It's like the office space. One little thing at a time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. When they just do it like. It's weird though, that that thing sold for 3.7 million. Like they never got it back. It just now belongs to the person who paid.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That is crazy.
Bobby Bones
The millions of dollars to it. Michael Jackson. Excuse me, Michael Jordan. Before a game in 1990, Jordan's jersey was stolen from the locker room. There was no backup number 23, so he had to wear number 12 with no name on it.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
No way. You imagine the panic when he's like, I can't find my jersey, guys.
Bobby Bones
He went on and scored 49 points, but he wore the number 12. The original jersey has never been recovered, which is why this story exists still, because it's kind of mythical.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I kind of want the number 12 jersey now. Like, where is that thing?
Bobby Bones
Well, somewhere out there, though, that 23 is one of the most memorable jerseys ever.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, the one that, if you have
Bobby Bones
that, the one that was stolen from the locker room. And then one other one. Wayne Gretzky's memorabilia heist. So not a big hockey guy, but I know that he was part of this. No, but they broke into his house. His dad's house.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
No way.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they broke into his dad's house in 2020 and stole a ton of stuff. Gave you sticks, jerseys, gloves, an award. Somebody knew that was Gretzky's dad, obviously, and went in. Police eventually recovered a lot of the items, most of the items after a multi province investigation. So Canada.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, they broke into the dad's house. Wow. Most of these, though, even with the. They're not break ins, they're people who knew.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
People knew.
Bobby Bones
That's how I feel about the Madonna thing. I don't feel like a bag of Madonna's clothes just fell off the back of a cart. And if so, I want to know who was driving the cart because they put it on the very back, the very back, way off. And they hit some bumps on purp so it would come tumbling off.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Because I don't think the regular person who finds a bag with something in it, say, you even look in the bag and you're like, wow, this is Gucci. This is ys. This is like the, the. The average person isn't going to think, like I could make money off of this.
Bobby Bones
The average person's gonna go, this should be mine. Oh my God.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And the average person's probably gonna post it on Instagram. Look what I found.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Right?
Bobby Bones
And like want to flex it. They're find right? Then it's just not gonna disappear. And they go, it fell off a golf cart down a bumpy dirt road.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Exactly.

Bobby Bones
and we're back on the Bobbycast. Okay, I got two other ones. We will get into a story that was in sports and now it's crossed over into pop culture, which is the head coach of the Patriots, Mike Vrabel and Diana Rossini, who worked at the Athletic as a reporter. The pictures come out in Sedona, Arizona, and at first you know, they're interlocking fingers. Man, this feels like ages ago.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It does, it does. And I like how you're telling the story. It's how we first found out.
Bobby Bones
And they're like not in the pictures of us we were with.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, just hanging out with a bunch of friends.
Bobby Bones
He had a girls trip. He drove up from football day and I don't know. And we've just been friends and then slowly it just starts to leak out. Maybe that's not what happened. And then People start doing the interlocking finger memes. So then in the last couple of days, you saw the pictures of them in a bar in New York and they were sitting facing each other. And I think had they just been sitting at a bar in New York facing each other, I don't think those would have popped as hard because it would have been like, oh, they're together,
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
they're talking at a bar, no big deal. But they're touching each other.
Bobby Bones
Touching. And like one leg's in between the other legs.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
He's grabbing her elbow.
Bobby Bones
He's like leaning over, looks like he's about to kiss her. There's been another photo that has popped up from them. 20, 24. I think it was pre super bowl in Biloxi at a casino together. What I think is there. Why are they so out in the open?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I know. I mean, carefree, as if, like you're both.
Bobby Bones
Vrabel for sure is famous. And she's famous in that world.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
In the sports world.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. There are a lot of people that are going, why is this even a story? People cheat all the time. You're right.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That's true.
Bobby Bones
But when you have two famous people cheating, that's always a massive story.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Always.
Bobby Bones
And it's like a crossover hit. If a Rascal Flats song gets so big at country and it goes to pop. Like we in Nashville had that song existing for a long time before people pop heard it. That was in the sports world for a good four or five days before it ever crossed over.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That there was something going on there. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so we knew about it. And why it got to the top of the charts in the sports world is because she's a sports reporter who supposedly is doing it the right way. Going to her sources, she's beating out other reporters because she's better at source. Turns out most likely she was getting a lot of the information because she was better at.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Getting in touch with the information.
Bobby Bones
Touching the information firsthand. The weird part has been in the last couple days, stuff has come out about her husband who looks a lot like Mike Franklin.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, he does. Resembles him a little bit.
Bobby Bones
So they have kids and one of their kids is named Michael. And according to the timeline, she was with Vrabel pre Michael. I don't think that's Vrabel's kid.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But that's a weird coincidence that the kids named that.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It really is. And there was a post, you know, four days after she had the baby. And she's like just looking at my four day old Michael and just thinking about all the great football players and coaches named Michael.
Bobby Bones
What?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I just love that the Internet goes into just research mode.
Bobby Bones
Well, they pulled every tweet of hers out. I just kept thinking, is she going to shut her Twitter down?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
She locked her Instagram up maybe a day or two before Private. But her Twitter was vulnerable. And people were. Because anything, even if it didn't actually mean it. Now it looks like everything.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Was connected to it.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That's true. Videos, everything.
Bobby Bones
There was one that was like, man, had a great day. I'll be walking funny. Had a great night last night. I'll be walking funny today. And so people were reposting that, and it really probably didn't mean.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
What do you have to do with that?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Did you see the video where she's talking about being in Miami and she's like, man, I went hard in Miami.
Bobby Bones
She was like, my husband. I didn't tell my husband all the stuff I did or whatever.
Jacob Goldstein
Yes.
Bobby Bones
In the end, the reason people care is because it's two celebrities doing it.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And the story is, if they would have just admitted it at first, it would not have gone on this long. The fact that they said, stop paying attention to this. It's laughable, I think, is what one of them said. When people feel like you're trying to get one over on them, they go in, double down.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. They double down on you. All that research starts getting done.
Bobby Bones
It's gotta suck for her.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Here's who it sucks for. Her husband. Their kids.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Mike Vrabel's wife.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yep. His kids.
Bobby Bones
His kids. And you know who it sucks for way after that? Her. She's the one that did it. Sucks for her.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
And she got fired.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she got fired. Her contract was coming up anyway, but,
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
yeah, she got fired. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Wild story. Wild how this is taking over pop culture because it is so sports. But people love human stories.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Final one here is first. Mother's Day is coming up for me. We had a kid six weeks ago or so. And so what's my angle here?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
To make her day special?
Bobby Bones
Okay. That's so easy to say. That's like when people say, what's your advice for a relationship? Communicate.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
This is interesting.
Bobby Bones
Do I go big gift. Do I go handwritten, long note, no money? Do what? Like what?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Man?
Bobby Bones
What would you say, you know my wife.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I do know your wife. And let me just kind of go back to, like, you know, just me celebrating my wife's Mother's Day when we first had kids, you know, like, when we had our first son that first year. It's interesting because I would think that my wife would want a break, right? Like, Mother's Day, let's go. And I will take you to dinner or lunch or whatever. We'll go hang out at the lake, whatever. And. No, the opposite. My wife wanted to just hang out with the baby.
Bobby Bones
I find that to be true right now because, again, it's so newborn, and I think her having the baby close to Mother's Day is different than if the baby was six months old.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Sure, sure.
Bobby Bones
But I do find that now where I'm like, hey, do you need a break? And she's like, no, I actually enjoy it. I'm with the baby right now, so this is amazing. I'm good.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Like, sometimes she'll, like, want to go shower or do something human. And I'm like, God, I got you covered. Or like, she went to, like, get her haircut or something, and I watch the baby. But you're right about that. Is that at times where I'm like, you go, do you? She's like, no, I'm doing me. This is what I want to do.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah. Even now we have four boys and, like, oldest is 18. Youngest is seven. And it's. Do you want to take a break for Mother's Day? We can go to a movie. We can do whatever you want. She's like, no, I want to hang out with them. So, man, what do you think she would want to do? All three of you guys? Have you guys left the house?
Bobby Bones
No. Because the baby hasn't got its two month. Yes. We have to do walks, not around any other people. Two month shots.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Ain't got them yet.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Okay, so you can't really do that. You can't really go somewhere by Mother's Day, though.
Bobby Bones
I could.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Could you?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Was that in two weeks?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. It's like May 11th or something.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
May 10th.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, May 10th.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Okay.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
All right.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
We're getting there. Okay. I mean, I think that'd be kind of cool to take her somewhere.
T-Mobile/US Cellular Advertiser
Take her out.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Because you guys really haven't done anything with the baby. Because she's gonna want to spend time with the baby. Are you thinking gift?
Bobby Bones
I, I don't know. I, I, I've never even thought about Mother's Day. I know, because 1. And my mom's not been alive for a long time, and so my wife hasn't been a mom. That's just been so off my radar. If you would have asked me six months ago, what month is Mother's Day? No idea. I wouldn't have even known it was in May.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It'll be a date now that you'll remember, man.
Bobby Bones
Is it like Thanksgiving, like every fourth Sunday, or is it on actually, like the 11th? It's on a Sunday though, right?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Always. It's always on a Sunday.
Bobby Bones
Okay, second Sunday. So second Sunday in May.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yes, I was on that Sunday, man. Did I tell you what happened last year, though? Last year in my family, like, I didn't forget Mother's Day. My wife's birthday was just a few days before Mother's Day. And so I just felt like it was a double.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like a leading into I forgot Mother's Day.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It was bad. So I was just kind of looking at it like, oh, we celebrate the birthday and then do what I normally do. Buy flowers and a little Mother's Day balloon, put it in the kitchen, and boom, there's Mother's Day. But the kids never said, happy Mother's Day. And it was almost a point where I was like, do I tell them, like, hey, guys, it's Mother's Day. Like, go tell your mom, happy Mother's Day. Let's do something for her. But I didn't. And the whole day nobody said, happy Mother's Day to her. I did, but my boys didn't.
Bobby Bones
And that's on you, though.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
It's totally on me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
And it was just bad. She was just like, I cannot believe we went the whole day and you guys didn't recognize Mother's Day. Because I always thought, like, you know what? We did the whole celebration. It was like a three day celebration. But no, that didn't count.
Bobby Bones
So.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yes. Do something. Do something.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we'll do something. I just don't know what she really wants.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Have you asked around, like a little hint here and there?
Bobby Bones
No, I literally am. My wife is good. I could literally say, what do you want? And she would tell me, then I would get it for her and she would be happy with it.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
But that's not your style.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not my style. And also, I don't like, be done like that.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Because then she's telling you what to do.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't like it if it's on my birthday. She goes, what do you want? I'm like, I don't know. I don't want anything. And then when she doesn't give me anything, I'm like, why didn't you give me anything? I like to really put the screws. I want you to figure it out. A guy should be worth the investment.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
But she's not like that.
Bobby Bones
I know, but I feel like she's worth the investment. So I don't want to ask her. But then. So that's coming out. That's in my mind.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That's my fit. That's interesting.
Bobby Bones
So for everybody out there, Mother's Day is coming up.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Do not forget it May 10th. And if you have kids, tell them too, that it's Mother's Day and have them do something as well.
Bobby Bones
One other. This will be an honorable mention. And so what do we call this show today? Things.
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
In case you missed it.
Bobby Bones
In case you. Oh, I see. We can do that thing, huh?
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
I see.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Y M, I. Yeah, in case you missed it.
Bobby Bones
I C Y M, Y. Whatever the date is, is in case.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
One word or two words?
Bobby Bones
Well, in.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I always forget this one.
Bobby Bones
In that it's ic. So it'd be two, but if I were spelling it, I think I would write it. I'd write.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Doesn't sound like one word.
Bobby Bones
I'd write it one word, but I don't. Is that right? One word.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Did it do the little autocorrect?
Bobby Bones
In case. If something is true, it is too. I'd be wrong then.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The other thing is if we could get Dylan to come up to a microphone for a second. So Dylan works production. You won't be able to see him here, but I started watching the Hulk Hogan documentary on Netflix. Oh, have you seen any of them?
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
No, I've not.
Bobby Bones
Controversial guy, obviously. Yeah, I watched the first episode. It's really good. And so, Dylan, how old are you, Dylan, now? Yeah.
Dylan (Production Staff)
26.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
What do you mean, now? Well, you'll see why in a second.
Bobby Bones
So we were talking about this because you. Did you watch some of the documentary?
Dylan (Production Staff)
Have not seen it yet.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Who? Brandon. Did you watch it? Anybody watch? Okay, so we were talking about it, and Brandon was like, watch the first episode. And so I love wrestling, especially wrestling back in the day. And Dylan, where were you in Florida?
Dylan (Production Staff)
I think it was Clearwater, maybe.
Bobby Bones
Why were you in Clearwater?
Dylan (Production Staff)
Just vacation.
Bobby Bones
And so he said there was a Hulk Hogan. Did he have his own store or statue?
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yeah, he had his own, like. I don't want to say memorabilia store. It wasn't like memorabilia, but it was like just wrestling.
Bobby Bones
Like a museum.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Is it a store on a main street? And he's got like a. There's like a mannequin outside. Yes, yes, I've seen it.
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I've seen It.
Bobby Bones
Yes, Go ahead with the story.
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yeah, so me and my dad were out there, and we're, like, taking a photo with the statue of him out in front of it. And this big black truck rolls up and the window rolls down, and we're obviously not looking. And all we hear is, why don't you guys go in there, buy yourself something real nice? And we look, and it's freaking Hulk Hogan.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
No way.
Bobby Bones
Oh, just wait. So it's Hulk Hogan.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Who's more.
Bobby Bones
There's more?
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yeah. Not only that, and Brandon clarified this, and I'll say it in a second, but he did give us 500 bucks. He's like, go get yourself something real nice.
Bobby Bones
He handed him 500 bucks from the truck and said, go buy yourself something
Dylan (Production Staff)
nice, but he's just giving himself 500 bucks. Really? When you think about you got to
Bobby Bones
pay the people, but you also didn't have to spend it all.
Dylan (Production Staff)
That's true. But we did.
Bobby Bones
He literally gave you 500 bucks?
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yes. And we were trying to get a selfie, but it was like the red light turned green. You just gotta get out of there.
Public Investing Advertiser
That is amazing.
Dylan (Production Staff)
Crazy story, but yeah.
Bobby Bones
So what Hulk Hogan pulled up.
Public Investing Advertiser
Follow up.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
What did you buy?
Dylan (Production Staff)
We bought two belts. Two replica belts. One of them was wwf, and then the other one, I think was like a smackdown one.
Bobby Bones
Did he sign them? Were they signed in the store?
Dylan (Production Staff)
No, just reps.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
So, dude, what was he wearing? Like, that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
He didn't get out of the truck. Was he just bald head?
Dylan (Production Staff)
No, he did have a baby.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he did?
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yeah.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
So that's cool.
Dylan (Production Staff)
Yep.
Bobby Bones
In this documentary, I've only seen one episode as of now, and this is the last thing he did on camera before he died. Like, he can barely walk around.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I mean, imagine because he's in his 70s, I think, when he died. Imagine being a wrestler, especially back in the day. Day? Yeah, when you just slammed. I mean.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Hard. But I thought the Hulk Hogan story was wild.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That is amazing. Did he die of a heart attack?
Bobby Bones
He died, I believe, in surgery. Or, like, after a surgery, right?
Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer)
Yeah, cardiac arrest. He was 71.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
During surgery?
Bobby Bones
During or right after? Dang.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Wow. What a crazy story. Dylan, same thing.
Bobby Bones
He told me that.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
Good.
Bobby Bones
Stop thinking about it. All day yesterday. Unbelievable. I thought about it so much, I started the documentary. I got on the treadmill, and I was like, I can't believe Dylan got 500 bucks. Mokog, turn the documentary on.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
So watch that on. If you love wrestling, watch that.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
And I did miss that. So thank you. Wow. In case I missed it.
Bobby Bones
Well, you never had a chance.
Eddie (Co-host or Guest)
I never knew that.
Bobby Bones
Never had a chance. All right, that's in case you missed it for this week. Thank you everybody. Mr. Bobby Bones on Instagram for me, that's producerready and we will see you guys soon.

The Bobby Bones Show | April 24, 2026
Host: Bobby Bones
Co-hosts & Guests: Eddie, Mike (Movie Podcast Reviewer), Dylan (Production)
This milestone episode features Bobby Bones and co-hosts breaking down five major pop culture and sports stories that dominated the headlines this week. The show offers opinions, insider info, and lively banter in Bobby’s signature style. If you missed any major stories, this recap covers everything you need to be in the know—from the Michael Jackson biopic controversy and Shania Twain hosting the ACMs, to Madonna’s missing wardrobe at Coachella, the viral Mike Vrabel and Diana Rossini cheating scandal, and Bobby’s struggles with first-time Mother’s Day gift-giving. There’s also a bonus tale: a wild Hulk Hogan encounter you won’t forget.
Timestamps: 02:51 – 14:31
Focus of the biopic: The new Michael Jackson film ("Michael") only covers his life up to 1984, stopping before any abuse allegations arose.
Controversy: Critics and fans are upset not at what the movie covers, but what it deliberately omits—skipping over accusations and later-life struggles.
“If you just stop before anything controversial happens, are you avoiding the truth? Which I don’t think so.”
— Bobby Bones (03:26)
Reviews: Initial negative meta-scores gave way to much-improved human reviews; scores jumped from ~38% to reviews in the 90s.
“Now that humans are reviewing it, it’s getting, like, in the 90s. So is it real?”
— Bobby Bones (04:33)
Production Choices: Family control plays a big role—Michael’s nephew Jafar stars as Michael, and the family has significant say in what’s included.
Debate on Omission of Allegations:
“They spent $15 million to remove a scene that was about the allegations.”
— Mike (11:02)
Timestamps: 14:31 – 17:00
Shania Twain lands the prestigious gig, following previous hosts Reba, Garth, and Dolly.
Bobby, who’s been the perennial "second choice," shares his bittersweet experience waiting in the wings:
“All three years are like, man, you do this, you’re next up to host the show... And then got the call. Yeah, it’s going to be Shania.”
— Bobby Bones (15:43)
The hosts discuss how being a front-runner for a host slot feels, and the realities of the "almosts" in show business.
Timestamps: 17:00 – 22:59
Madonna’s iconic wardrobe disappears after her surprise performance with Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella.
The lost items included vintage designer pieces worn at her 2000 Coachella debut.
Theories discussed:
“If you can steal something that has cultural significance, you can sell it back, sell it in some sort of — I say black market…”
— Bobby Bones (18:43)
The guys riff on famous sports memorabilia thefts for context:
Timestamps: 26:09 – 30:59
Photos surface of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and sports reporter Diana Rossini appearing intimately together, igniting rumors.
Initially downplayed as innocent, but more evidence fueled speculation and internet memes (“interlocking fingers”).
The story crossed over from sports to mainstream pop culture, due to celebrity factor on both sides.
“When you have two famous people cheating, that’s always a massive story... it’s like a crossover hit.”
— Bobby Bones (27:53)
Internet sleuths dredge up Rossini’s old tweets and background, including sites suggesting a timeline overlap with her husband and child’s birth.
Both co-hosts reflect on the consequences for the families and the viral nature of these stories.
Timestamps: 31:02 – 35:41
Bobby faces his first Mother’s Day as a new dad, unsure how best to celebrate his wife.
Lots of pondering—Should he go big with a gift, or keep it meaningful and sentimental?
Eddie offers advice from his own experience, saying most new moms just want to be with their baby.
The hosts laugh about forgetting the date and the importance of making kids participate.
“Do not forget it — May 10th. And if you have kids, tell them too … and have them do something as well.”
— Eddie (35:44)
Timestamps: 36:31 – 39:39
Bobby’s staffer Dylan shares an incredible story from his childhood:
The conversation segues to the recent Hulk Hogan documentary (which Bobby highly recommends), and touch on Hogan’s death after surgery.
“He literally gave you $500?”
— Bobby Bones (38:21)
Memorable Quote for the Episode:
“In case you missed it, you never had a chance.”
— Bobby Bones (39:45)
