how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org.

Everybody, welcome to another episode of Current Things that we talk about. It's a terrible name for the show, but we have Eddie and we have country music sensation Multiple number one ones. Possibly the tallest guy I do know. Probably the biggest truck to come here.
E
Oh, Matt.
A
Still, there is a great introduction.
B
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
E
Do we.
A
Mike, you think that's the biggest truck we've had from a guest? Yes, definitely. He pulled up behind me and I. Who is this small peckard guy? I was like, oh, it's Matt.
B
That's right.
E
Figures.
B
Well, I'm not gonna say what. I pulled up behind, so we're gonna.
A
It's okay. They called me out last week. I was here with the God's country, the Hunt Brothers. Brothers Hunt. And we were talking about being cool, and I was like, I stopped chasing being cool years ago because I just don't have it. Like, I tried. And he goes, I don't know, your car's pretty chasey. And I said, is it? And he said, that Porsche. And then I had to go, that's a Lamborghini.
B
Yeah. Got him.
A
I didn't want to get him, but he was just like. But it's also. And it's an suv, so it's not.
E
Yeah.
A
You know, it doesn't really look Lamborghini, bro.
B
I just don't. That's the most out of touch thing, I think. What are you talking about? You travel. There's a color. Blue doesn't exist. I agree with that on Lamborghinis, bro.
A
I agree with that.
E
Have you told the color before?
A
They did last week.
E
Okay.
A
Yeah. Thanks for watching the show. I never planned to buy any kind of Lamborghini, and I would never buy a car that was a Lamborghini because I feel like that's extremely showy. I needed an suv, and it was really the only place it was open that day.
E
And the only place that was open,
B
I just happened to be by the Lambo place on my way home from Walmart.
A
Not only that, I'm not kidding. It was raining that day and it was open. And my wife was like, you got to get an suv. You can't see because I kept hitting potholes. That's the whole reason. Is it like, me, Eddie, as my longtime best friend to have a Lamborghini?
E
No.
A
Okay. No.
E
That's the last thing I thought you would ever, ever buy.
A
Right? And I don't think it even looks like if you just drive it on the road, it doesn't look like anything.
E
Yeah. Don't get it twisted. It's not like something that Motley crude is driving.
A
Right.
B
It's exactly what Motley Crue is driving. What are y' all talking about?
E
Vince Neil is not driving that car.
B
Vince Neil wasn't driving that car. Vince Neil now drives that car.
A
Maybe older age. Yeah.
B
He needs to put a baby in the back of a Lambo. That's what you do.
A
But it's not even a Lamb. I wouldn't call it a Lambo. It is a Lamborghini suv. There's a baby seat in the back of it.
B
All right, man.
E
Legit question, though, because I don't think I've ever asked you, does it haul out?
A
Like, is it fast? I don't know.
E
But you have a Lamborghini.
A
I'm sure it does, but you're acting like I have things for that reason. I have it because it was the only place open, and it was raining, and we went in, and I was like, yeah, I like it. And my wife's like, then you should get it. And I said, do you have a red one? And they said, we don't.
B
It is very sharp. I'm just saying, like, I feel like. I. I don't know, man. I. I feel like you can't really minimize a. A Lamborghini.
A
Not trying to.
B
I mean, those things are Urus, right? That was it called.
A
It's a Urus. What's funny is some people will just see it, and it looks like a standard suv. I would see that car and just think it's a standard suv, because I know nothing about cars. But people that know cars are like, that is awesome. I'm like, oh, thanks. I really appreciate that.
B
Yeah.
A
It's not something that you drive. And people turn their heads if, like, Kane Brown has a Lamborghini car that drives down the road. You're right on it. You're like, oh, that's a Lamborghini. This looks like a.
B
It looks like an SUV that Lamborghini made. That's what it is. I get it. It's not the same thing as, how
A
did this get on me?
C
We're talking about your.
B
I have an F150.
A
That's a monster. But it's lifted, right?
B
It's leveled. It's not even lifted. Leveled? Yeah, it's just level.
A
What does that mean, level?
B
Well, it's just the front end. Basically. It means the front end is lifted to level the truck. So it's got like a 3 inch level on it.
A
Do you need something higher, though, because you are so tall.
B
I don't. Not necessarily. I mean, it's easier to get up and down in, but I. But I have a hard time fitting into anything that's like not a half ton or bigger.
A
Have you ever been in a Mini Cooper? Yeah, because I think that's funny. Content shove Matt into small things.
E
Big guy, small car.
C
Yeah.
A
Like, my content brain goes, can we go to like a Mini Cooper dealership and do Matt, Stellan and Mini Cooper?
B
Hey. So yeah, absolutely. I was at. To that same point, though, I was at in Charlotte and I went to tour a NASCAR facility. I can't remember which one it was, but. And they're like, oh, yeah, get in the car. We'll take your picture. I physically cannot get in a nascar. Like, I said to slide into the side and my foot was mashing all three pedals down like I could not fit in. Like, get in the window.
A
How tall are you?
B
Six, seven.
E
Okay.
A
You know what else I'd like to see him do? Be a jockey. I put him in the horse.
E
Did they would hurt the horse.
A
I'd jockey him with the outfit on a horse. That would be fun.
B
Just in Oakland by myself.
A
Oakland racetrack. Just riding a horse and the horse just gives up. It's like, screw this, man.
B
I love it.
A
All right, so Matt's fellas here, his massive truck. What are you gonna do as far as a baby seat?
B
It's just an F150.
E
Is it a four door?
B
Yeah.
E
Yeah.
A
Oh, so it has room for the baby?
B
Yeah.
A
Have you put the baby seat in yet?
B
Not yet. My wife has. Has it in hers.
A
Well, you're gonna have to have two because we put one in both the bars. Yeah, for sure, for sure. All right. I was told before we had the baby, it's so hard to put the baby seat in. And as we record this, our baby's on nine weeks old. And so I didn't do it for a long time because I was like, man, I really need to have a whole day dedicated to putting the baby seat in. Because it's got to be exactly right or the baby's gonna perish in a baby seat accident. It's like seven seconds.
C
It's pretty easy.
B
It's nothing. Well, I'm sure Lamborghini makes it pretty easy.
E
Did you do hooks or just seat belt?
A
Hooks.
E
Okay.
A
Most new cars have like, it's not even. It's the little clips in the back. They're built in and so.
E
And you can even do the one that goes around the back. Have you seen that one? There's an extra one that goes around the seat and then you can hook in behind the seat.
A
Hey, the Lamborghini thing, it's not meant for kid seats, so they didn't build this going. We're also going to be luxurious for kids. But we do have it in my car, in my wife's car. You're going to need one in your truck.
B
Oh, for sure. Well, I've got one in the house. I just don't need it yet.
A
Yeah, I freaked out. They were like, you're going to have to go to the police station and they're going to have to put it in for you if you can't get it. Dude, everybody's freaking me out about it.
E
Can you imagine the cops? Like, oh, here we go.
A
One of our buddies had to go to the police station.
E
Really?
A
Now, this has been 10 years ago, maybe more than that. So technology probably didn't have baby seats
B
had just been invented.
A
Well, yeah, yeah, probably that version of it.
E
I didn't know that was an option. That's interesting.
A
So they know how to do it. And then I was worried about leaving the hospital and you're going to experience this relatively soon.
B
Two and a half weeks.
A
Okay, you're saying it.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay. Every time. It literally could be any time, bro.
B
I'm so scared. I've got a West coast run between now and then. Yeah, dude, I thought the things that you don't know when you're, like, having a first kid. I was like, oh, it's the baby's due on the 30th. Cool. I'll be back on the 25th. That's like five days.
E
It doesn't work that way, bro.
B
I'm sweating it, man.
A
I agree. I had a cruise. We had a cruise that we scheduled a year and a half out, a Bobby Bones show cruise with a lot of artists, supposed to be there for seven days. And my wife, we've talked about it. Now she has a really severe autoimmune disease. And they're going, hey, we know your due date, it can be anytime from a month pre. So it was a week pre. Her due date. And I had a cruise to be on. And that means I'm trapped out in the water. I can't even get a flight to come back. Or I'm checking for helicopters. If they can get Me back. And so we literally went to the doctor that day that I was gonna leave and had them check her to see if she was dilated at all. And the doctor was like, I don't recommend you going, but I'm not going to say that you have to stay. That's not what you want to hear.
B
No. And if anything, that's not what you want to hear with your wife sitting right there.
A
Yeah.
B
You could spin that a little bit if that was just like a one on one conversation. But there's no. That's just the.
A
She also heard.
B
Yes.
A
And the doctor was like, I'll write you a note, like your job. And I said, I owe it. I should go. So I went for two days, came back, and then a note.
E
He thinks you have a job. Like that
A
is a woman sexist.
B
Oh, gosh. Sexist? Yep.
A
You're a sexist.
E
That's crazy. Crazy because. Were you just like, I don't need a note. Thank you, though.
A
Well, mostly she said, I can write you a note so they believe you. I think that's really what it was.
E
Not so you could show yourself to turn it in.
A
I think it was. So if I'm going to miss something significant, she's like, this is worth not going. But yeah, that dude, that's. You're going to be.
B
Oh, we had an appointment a couple days ago and they talked about the dialect again. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I did find out that it doesn't. Our. Our lady was. Our lady. Our lady doctor. Oh, our. Our OB GYN Dr. Jones. Whatever she was saying that that doesn't even correlate with the baby coming earlier late. If it is. If she is dilated or not. Like, it's.
A
She knows way more than me. But if she's further along dilated, it.
E
It better chance.
B
Better chance.
A
Well, you have to be dilated.
B
Maybe I just heard what I wanted to hear.
A
No, I'm sure she's right because you could be. Listen, this is. I'm no pregnancy labor and delivery nurse, but they won't even let you in until you're a certain amount dilated.
B
Right, Right.
A
So the dilation does play into should the person go in and start delivery. But the doctor knows way more than we do. Obviously. We're just dudes.
E
Have you had false alarms yet?
B
No. She's starting to have some, like, cramps, you know, I guess you call them contractions.
A
Is she miserable?
B
She is such a. She's such a badass. But she is like Tired. And she. She's tired of having to get around, like, rolling off of stuff. She is tired of that. But. But for the most part, she. Her last day of work is tomorrow.
A
So you haven't seen anything yet as far as the respect that you're going to have for her. You think you have, and I thought I did, too. I thought there is no level of, like, respect and admiration that I can have more than what I already have for my wife. The person that I've chose to be do once they do it. And then once you. Once they're being a mom, it's like, oh, there's a different unlocked part. It's like when you are playing NBA 2K and they give you, like, six more points in athleticism you can now use. That's kind of what it is.
B
You're like, wow.
A
So that's exciting because there's a lot of us in our friend group that are having kids around the same time. You're the last one up. No, Natalie. Natalie Stoball.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
His last one up of our friend group. So, yeah. Excited for you, man. Gotta get a baby seat in the truck or get a van minivan.
B
Hot take. I've had every manner of van detour and, like, a Dodge Grand Caravan is the best vehicle that's ever been invented. And they just are. If it wasn't for needing a truck for, like, hauling hay.
E
Yeah, for what?
A
What are you doing?
B
I do a lot of moving lumber.
E
You? Construction these days.
A
Freaking poems with music. What do you need?
E
Oh, put the guitars in the back
B
where my golf club's gonna go in the back. Now, what happens when I kill deer and turkeys?
A
You want me just twice a year.
E
All the turkeys that you kill?
B
I killed a bunch this year.
A
All right, well, anyway, Matt Stell is here also. Eddie's here. Eddie, good to see you.
E
And me.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, and Eddie.
A
Yeah, Eddie's here a lot, though, so this isn't special. So I want to start first with talking about Taylor Swift's wedding. So it hasn't happened yet, but there are now stories about it that she is telling people by word of mouth on the phone when the wedding is. She's not sending out traditional invites. She's not even putting it in writing
E
so it doesn't get leaked.
A
Correct question for you, too. Yep.
E
I'm assuming you guys haven't gotten invited, but do you guys. Yeah. Do you know anyone that's gotten invited?
A
I don't think they would call and tell me.
B
I do. They had to sign NDAs, right?
A
To be. To be invited, possibly, like, to go. So I wouldn't even be able to say if I did. No way.
E
But that's so crazy that you guys would know someone that's invited to that wedding.
B
I don't know that I do.
A
I probably would know a couple people.
B
But you probably on the football side for sure, would.
E
Probably would know a couple people. I forget about that side. What, Travis's side?
A
I don't know Travis, though. But, yeah, I probably know some friends,
E
but people that know Travis. Yeah.
A
But it's interesting that now it's back, technology has reversed itself, because now it's just all word of mouth and then she can't say where really the date was first. July 4th, July 3rd, whatever the case is. But this is what I would do if I were Taylor, and nobody's asking me, but there are so many leaks. I would tell every single person something slightly different. Yeah. And then when that hit the news, I would know who the freak just told when, where, or what they knew about our wedding.
E
That's amazing.
B
That's right. Haunt the rat. Just like in, like, World War II.
E
Is that what they did in World War II?
B
Yeah, I think that's how they purged some, like, informants and spies, you know, tell everybody the wrong thing and see which wrong thing happens.
E
Look at you, man.
A
Or tell everybody the right thing with one added element to each person. And I'd have it all organized and how, whichever added element came out, I would go, that's the one, dude.
E
I just don't know how anyone has the guts to spill that kind of news.
A
But do you ever have a secret and you're like, man, I gotta tell somebody.
E
Yeah. But I never do. Never.
B
You know where it's gonna come from? It's gonna come from, like, one of those guests that. Like those obligatory guests like your cousin that you haven't seen or something, who
A
want to prove that they are getting invited to the wedding.
B
It's not gonna come from, like, a. Like one of the famous guest list, people that know how to act. It's gonna come from Aunt Sally at mahjong.
E
Yeah. Yeah. One night, like, my brother told me a secret when we were in our 20s, and he was like, don't ever tell anyone this secret. And I've never told anyone until now, not even thought about telling someone.
A
Are you generally a good secret keeper, or is it just because your brother is so close to you and it could put him in prison?
E
No, I just don't. If someone says, like, hey, really? Can you just keep this between us? I'd be like, yeah, of course. Like, what. What good does it do for me to tell someone else their business?
A
For some people, that's currency, right? They know something, not me.
B
Yeah, but this also is. This is a lot, like, in a way, lower stakes, you know, to have. And it's also something that is time sensitive. Like, I'm not even saying that, like, aunt so and so is going to, like, do it on purpose. But also that is the person who's going to say, oh, I can't. I can't play pickleball on Saturday. I have to go to Rhode island for Taylor's wedding.
E
Oh, no.
A
And then they end up telling the news the person the aunt told.
B
Exactly. That's how it's gonna happen. It's gonna be less nefarious than, like. Because think about all the people involved in a way, like the flower people and the food people and the, like, all these people.
E
But see, that's business. And there's no way they would tell.
B
I guess you never know. The catering company would never know what wedding it is before you get there, so.
A
Especially if it's a famous one.
E
Yeah, I guess.
A
But there are a lot of NDAs that are signed, but NDA, trust me, I've had people, people that have worked on stuff with us, and the NDA doesn't always matter because you have to enforce it. So that means you have to go and spend money on a lawyer and you have to go, and is it worth it? And then whatever you're protecting kind of gets Streisand effect. So. But yeah, I thought that was fun. That that's what I would do is I try to fact them out and see who actually is telling. Who can I cut out that's told things they shouldn't tell.
E
And then would you tell them that you know, it's them?
A
Yeah. Well, there's also a story, and it's been done by a few people, but one of the most recent ones is Elon Musk, wondering who's leaking, like, internal memos. And he would just move a period to different places. There'd be a space period behind all these different sentences, but every single person that got the memo would get it differently. All the same memo, but the period was moved. And so whichever one was copied and pasted, that would be out in the press. He'd know who it was because of where the period. Where the space was in between the period.
E
Yeah, smart.
B
Your content brain is just unmatched because you would turn that wedding into, like, Survivor?
A
I want to find out. We're shooting a show at the same time trying to figure out which of
E
my friends is the dirtiest making money
B
while he's getting married.
E
Smart.
A
I had a friend who was at the Lainey Wilson wedding. I knew that was happening. I didn't say anything about it. Why would I, too, right? Because I know Laney, and I didn't get invited, but I had a friend.
E
I didn't.
A
I didn't invite it, but I had a friend who was there. And they wouldn't tell me who they. Whose it was, but I had a few. I had one friend that was there kind of working it, and two that were there. And I put it. I context put it together. I was like, lanny and Duck are getting married. Or they got married. Yeah. And then it came out. So you didn't get a bite of that one either?
B
No, I didn't. I didn't. I guess me and you were just sitting at home texting each other about football or something.
E
Do you guys get hurt when you don't get invited for weddings?
B
Because, like, no.
E
To me, it's kind of like, hey, cool, I can stay home.
A
No, I've never not been invited to a wedding, though, of somebody that I actually thought I should be invited to their wedding. I had a close call once with somebody I thought I should have been in the grooms party with, because my wife and I went to this wedding, and I was confused because I wasn't one of the groomsmen.
E
Close. Close friend.
A
Yep. I would consider him a close friend. And I said, I'm about to be bitter. She said, why? I said, I'm super happy for him, but I'm not a groomsman, and I feel like I'm close. And I was also invited to the bachelor party, which I've only been invited to, like, two bachelor parties ever. So then I felt like I was one of the. Hey, we should invite him anyway to the bachelor party, even though he's not part of the groomsmen. So then I felt like, just don't invite me to anything if you don't want me in the grooms, don't invite me to the bachelor party. And so I said, I think when I see who it is, I'm gonna be upset. And in my mind, I had, like, four people I thought could be in. Only two of them should have beat me. It's all competition, right? And so when I saw one of the two that should have beat me, not one of the groomsmen Oh. I was like, interesting. He didn't make it either. I bet he's pissed.
E
That's what I thought.
B
I bet he's pissed.
E
Makes you feel a little better.
A
No, I felt bad for him. We're both mad. We were going to be mad together. And then the wedding started and it was just his brother and like, a relative. There was two dudes. Got it. And I was like, okay, we're still friends.
E
Yeah. Yeah, that works.
B
I was like, he saved you so much trouble.
A
So much. Because I'd have been hurt. I'd have been hurt, like wounded. But then when I saw the other guy, that was like, same level. I thought, we're going to be wounded together or it's going to be completely different. Like, he didn't do traditional and he didn't do traditional. And I got invited to the bachelor party because I was one of the close friends. So then I was like double insulted for no reason. I wasted a lot of energy being insulted and I just.
B
I just shouldn't have been an insult.
A
Yeah, not at all.

Hang tight. The bobbycast will be right back.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part? You won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org

A
back on the bobbycast. I do want to talk about new scam techniques. I I think this email that I got the other day was, Hey, $2,000. Pay it as a ransom or we're going to release the contents of your phone. And I have a just a naturally. I'm naturally skeptical anyway. And it's hard to get a scam over on me. And I thought, man, I wonder if this is real or not because I have a name on it. I'm not really concerned about my phone.
B
This is an email.
A
Yeah, email. Not really concerned about my phone. I don't take pictures of my wiener or anything. Yeah, I'm not doing anything bad in my phone. Cheating. I'm not doing anything like that. But still, I think for a second they want $2,000 and I think there's no way this is real.
B
It's a good deal.
E
But I thought, for my information, there's
A
a lot of people that are probably gonna get caught by this. And I kept reading down, and it said, this is where it tipped me off that they actually didn't have my stuff. It said, we saw some of the stuff you were looking at, and we have video of you masturbating from your phone.
B
What?
A
So I don't look porn?
B
You're strictly a laptop guy.
A
Yeah, there's nothing. I just don't look. I'm so. I've been so scared of viruses for a decade that I have not looked at one single piece of pornography in any way. Because not that I'm better than it, but I just don't want to get a virus of anything. So I knew that wasn't real. They were sending it out. But because for a split second I thought about it, I think that means a lot of other people probably go, oh, my God, they got me. They got me. Because I would imagine there's a lot of dudes that are getting that email going, oh, my God, I was looking at my phone.
B
I'm caught.
A
Yes.
E
Did it connect your phone to the email? Like, did it say your phone number? Because that's another thing, too. It's like you're emailing my Gmail account,
A
but you're not being rational whenever someone's threatening you. Yeah, I eventually got there. But it's like, you can pay Palace $2,200, and we'll make sure not to release your information. But for me, it took something to say, we definitely caught you doing something that I wasn't doing for me to go, oh, they have no idea. But that's one I bet dudes get God on. Oh, I bet because it's worth $2000, 1500 bucks for them to go, I don't want my wife to know. I was looking at, you know, spank.com or whatever it was.
B
At that point, though, like, the. Like, the rational actor thing to do is to not pay it. Because even if you pay it, you have changed. Your leverage has changed. None over them. Like, all they're. All they're going to do is say, hey, I need fifteen hundred dollars in however amount of time that passes.
A
But you said irrational. It's not a rational thing.
B
Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, even if you are. Even if you are concerned about those videos being out there and that kind of thing, it's still the move to make is to not pay it, because you can either pay 2. You can either have all of your info out in the streets, or you can have all of your info out in the streets. And the people that did it also have 2,000 of your dollars. Like, you know what I'm saying? There's no way to stop them from doing it other than their word. The word of a scammer. Like, don't. Like, the way to do it would be to not pay, but they don't have it.
A
But we're saying if they did. But that's generally with blackmail anyway. Like, if you're being blackmailed for something and, like, do this or we're going to release it, there's never a leverage point where you win. They can always hold it over you.
B
Yeah. I mean, I suppose you could come up with some counterfactuals where you could make sure that the said document was destroyed or whatever. But in terms of, like, phishing, email, like, things that you get, like, the. The way to do it would just be to, like, just not pay and hope. Like, I don't think.
A
Worry.
B
You're gonna worry either way. I would rather worry with 2000 of my dollars still in my pocket. Like, it doesn't. Giving them that money does not take down the chance of them releasing it at all, in my opinion.
A
You're right. But again, that's the rational brain.
B
Yeah.
A
Whenever you get that email, you're going, oh, my God. I don't want everybody knowing that as pulling my pud. So I'm going to pay this so it goes away. So I just would bet that that's a pretty successful scam. I'd bet that's.
E
I bet they win on that one.
A
I think 2000 is a little high. If it were me doing that scam, I'd make it like 400 bucks something. Just enough. More gas is really high nowadays. It's not like people have 2000 bucks laying around. So the straight Hormuz, man. We got to get that thing fixed so we can pay our ransom, please.
B
So we can pay our Internet for fishing.
A
Ra, Dude.
E
Let me tell you, though, my son, he has. He's 12 years old, and he has an Apple watch. And he's can get texts, and there's been somebody texting him, saying, like, hey, Walter. Like, where have you been? Like, let's get. Let's get. Let's get together sometime. And it's freaking him out because he's like, I'm not Walter, and I don't
B
know who this is.
E
And how do they have my number? And I get it Us, we're like, stupid scammer, whatever, or an old number. But to him, it's like, this is really freaking me out.
A
Do you know the move? You know why they go, hey, Walter.
E
Because somebody named Walter is gonna actually have that.
A
No, that is not the reason somebody
B
named Walter had that number previously. That's what it is.
A
That's funny. That's what you think?
E
Yeah. Like, at some point, Walter's gonna get it.
A
No, no.
B
You would choose John or Michael.
A
Yes.
E
Yeah.
A
Well, you. The move is, with that scam is if it's like, hey, Susie, do I need to still pick you up at the airport? And I reply back, you got the wrong number. Oh, I do. What it does is opens up a conversation with the person who just said, you had a wrong number. So there's. It's not.
E
Hey, the goddess.
A
It's not Walter fishing. It's that it's creating communication. Yeah. So just don't respond.
E
Yeah, that's what I told them.
B
Or block the number.
A
They're really not looking for a Walter.
B
Right.
A
They're looking for someone to go, you got the wrong number. And also they want that someone who got the wrong number to be old, vulnerable.
E
Sure.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, lonely vulnerable. And then all of a sudden, you create a relationship with someone through this story of, oh, I was texting Walter, and next thing you know, we're friends. So. Yeah, don't reply to those, dude.
B
So my Grandmother Mama is 98 and she's very active online. And she. She's like, not. She's a tech person. Like, she understands it all. She has everything, every platform you could be on. But she got got the other day with a text message saying it was the state of Arkansas. And she was behind on, like, it was like the revenue office. And she didn't notice that it was the, like, wrong number. And then so she goes to pay it online. And then so she's with, like, she is very tech savvy. So she banks online and maintained a website for when she used to sell dolls. Like, she's very an outlier in that way. But they got her on that. And so my mom had to go in and help clean up the mess there. It's like, you just. I wonder if this would be another good conversation at some point. But, like, I wonder if we could forecast what it's going to be like for us. How are we going to be got when We're. When we're 90?
E
Yeah.
B
And just.
A
I just caught you banging a hologram. If you don't give me? $2,000.
B
Oh, no.
A
They got me doing the hologram.
B
The video, it's just the same scam,
A
but it's just better technology.
E
That video would be crazy.
B
That's what it is. The Thought Crime Division has detected some ill will towards. Towards your neighbor. So send us some money. Yeah.
A
There is AI voice cloning that's happening now, which is a scam. That's. That can get you.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Because you're hearing the voice of the person that you know and love. It's not someone asking for Walter through text. They're calling you. The person you know is calling you. Well, it's their voice because they've cloned their voice. So it's AI generated voices. There are all these stories fooling families, businesses, even employers. And we're getting into the you also can't trust your ears era. Because right now you can still pretty much trust your eyes. If it's live.
E
Yeah.
A
AI if it's recorded. I'm not always trusting with my eyes, but if someone facetimes me, I feel like I can trust that. But we're getting into the era of you can't just trust your ears because of the ability to voice clone. And eventually it's gonna get to. We can't trust anybody at all, ever.
B
Gosh.
A
Unless we're touching. Unless we're touching them.
B
That's right. We're gonna do this holding hands.
E
Yep. Then you got to feel in there, see if there's metal in.
B
There's a computer.
A
And it's not like a silicone mat still. That came in to trick us. Have you seen those?
B
Stab me in the leg, See if I bleed to make sure. Oh, it's really.
A
It's like the movie Mike. What's the one where they. Jesse Plemons and they think she's an alien.
E
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Oh, begonia, Begonia, Begonia. Where that? Have you seen that?
B
No. That's new, right?
E
It's fairly new. Ish.
A
Last year? Yeah. Yeah. Nine months or so.
B
We like it.
A
Are you.
B
Don't spoil it for me, then.
A
I'm not going to spoil it.
B
Sports are almost over, and so my wife and I are going to need something to watch.
A
I loved it. You didn't like it?
E
I did not like it.
A
It's about mixed reviews.
E
Did not like it.
A
It's about these dudes, and she's a massive CEO and she's so successful, and they think that she's an alien.
B
Oh, that's cool.
A
So they're nuts, but so they abduct her. And part of it's like, we got to cut her to see if she bleed. That's like, part of it. They shave her head. They shave her head because they have this theory that her hair is. Have she contacted.
E
It's a crazy movie.
A
Yeah, I really liked it. Eddie did not like it. Mike.
B
I loved it.
A
But I also love absurd movies. Yeah, okay.
B
All right.
A
But that's what we're going to have to do. Begonia people. To see if they're real.
B
We're going to have to give you the full begonia.
A
Have you seen Project Hail Mary?
B
I read the book.
A
Okay, so did I. But I was asking about the movie, smart guy.
B
No, I haven't. I'm familiar with the story, but I have not visually seen it.
A
We just started it. I was gonna get a review from you, but we haven't finished it. I read the book.
B
Love the book.
A
Obviously.
B
Yeah. I like Andy Weir books, but I've
A
already got the Lambo Flex, so I wasn't gonna do the book Flex in the same.
B
Yeah, well, I had to do something. I mean, it does feel good, though.
E
How to say, like, I read the book.
B
Yeah. I'm familiar with.
A
You haven't seen Project Tolmer either.
E
No, and I did not read the book. I wasn't gonna ask. I don't really read.
A
Can you.
E
Not my thing. I can't read. It's not my thing.
A
Do you remember we were kids and they would have after school ish specials.
B
Yeah.
A
And a lot of them would be like, and I can't read. Or it would be like a sitcom, like one of the serious ones.
B
Yeah.
A
Where it's. It's all funny. Funny for most of the time, but then there's, like, a friend from across town, new friend, and all of a sudden he can't read. He's like the great athlete and he can't read. And at the end he's like, I can't read. And it, like, brought awareness to.
E
Yeah, yeah. Illiteracy.
B
Yeah. I feel like. I feel like maybe they helped. There's like. I feel like there's less. I mean, I know that test scores are going down, but I feel like literacy is going up. More literacy, less excellence. So the. So the floor.
A
Hey, the floor is getting higher, but the ceiling is dropping and.
E
You mean with younger people? Like the older people that can't read? It's not like they. They're. They still can't read and they're fine with it.
A
I would think. The reason younger people can read now, just me Throwing this out. There is social media, and you kind of need to read at least basic words and sentences because you want to be on social media. So if you can't read on social media, you can't be on social media.
B
Yeah, I would. Also. I'm sure there's somebody out there that would want to make some noise for the Mississippi miracle in lower education, like in primary education, sort of the way that they've taught reading and I don't
A
know what you're talking about.
B
Oh, the Mississippi miracle. Yeah.
A
So are you saying Mississippi miracle?
B
Yeah.
A
Okay.
B
Like, this is a layman's take on it, but basically they started teaching reading in a way that. That really focused on phonics and sounding out words, which sounds silly, but it's. There's more to it. Anyway, they achieved some great results. And now Mississippi literacy is among some of the highest in the country in those demographics.
E
That's cool.
B
In those age groups. And so they're trying to. To export that to some other places because.
A
Yeah, good for Mississippi because they're down there with us.
B
Exactly.
A
Like Matt and I are from Arkansas.
B
A little jealous.
A
And usually it's like us in Mississippi battling out.
B
Thank God.
A
Yeah, That's a saying. Thank God for Mississippi.
E
Okay.
A
Because we were at the bottom 49.
E
Real saying.
A
Yeah.
B
So we say in Arkansas because you're
E
not at the bottom.
A
Yeah, we'd be 48, 49.
B
They're getting their revenge now. Like, shout out Mississippi. Mississippi.
A
Yeah, shout out Mississippi.
B
Their football's better than ours, too.
A
How about Lane Kiffin in Vanity Fair? Did you see where he said that? I'm surprised. Okay, so Lane Kiffin was doing.
B
I was reading Andy Weir.
A
My bad. Yeah, good point. Probably doing the Martian for the second time.
B
I was reading Socrates. Good.
A
Vanity Fair did an article with Lane Kiffin, and I don't want to misquote this, but basically he was like, one of the struggles at Ole Miss was there would be, like, grandparents being like, I can't send my kid there because of their tie to slavery and tied to the Colonel Reb, the mascot, and he's like, so I'm in Louisiana now. And so Ole Miss and Mississippi, like, what are you. Why are you bringing that into play? Well, and then the next day in the interview, because it was like a multi, multi day interview with him, he was like, maybe I was a little harsh on that. But yeah, that was the thing. I'll bring. I'll bring the headline up here.
B
Talk about recruits.
A
Yeah, yeah. Like, players wouldn't want to come Play for him because.
E
Yeah, because of their tie to.
A
And he just threw it out there in the interview.
E
Wow.
A
And he's like, it was harder because I was at Ole Miss and they're associated with racism and slavery.
E
Man, I never thought. I never put that together. I never put that. Rebels.
B
You never put Colonel Reb? No.
A
You're from Texas.
E
I never put that together.
B
Colonel Reb, who was holding a Confederate flag most of the time.
E
I never saw the Confederate flag in the mask. It's a mascot and he's holding the.
A
Yeah, yeah. I really think it's a Texas thing, though, is why. Because Texas is not the South.
E
Yeah.
A
We are from the south, so you knew that. We're very aware.
B
High school, that we played, that I played ball against across town. Changed their mascot probably 10 years ago. And it was the same.
E
They were the Rebels.
B
Yeah, they were the Rebels.
A
Yeah. You kind of had to change from Rebels. Ole Miss hasn't, but they did remove the Rebel flag or the Confederate flag.
E
Wow.
A
So here's a story that came out. Lane Kiffin apologizes for comments that diversity impacted his ability to recruit at Mississippi. It wasn't calculated. So I was just going to read one of the things that he said because it just kind of came up. But now there was just a fight online between Louisiana and Mississippi, arguing about who was least racist of the two states, which is kind of one of the funnier things I've seen online.
E
They have their cases.
A
They're like, no, you're more racist than us. So Elaine Kiffin, like, he mixes it up and trolls.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
And he's going, oops, my bad. I don't know. I think you say that knowing kind of what's gonna happen.
B
Lane Kim's a savvy guy. Like, you know, you give him the. Come on. You know what you're saying.
A
Here we go. While he was coaching there, Kevin says top recruits would tell him, hey, Coach, we really like you. My grandparents aren't letting him move to Oxford, Mississippi, because of that. Wow. So, yeah, that's what's up. But, man, that game this year, because they go to Ole Miss.
B
Oh, that's going to be electric.
A
That's going to be. I don't know.
B
My manager went to Ole Miss.
A
That's going to be angry.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
For two reasons now. One, because he left them like that and went to lsu. And two, because of this.
B
Oh, yeah. I mean, they were. They're still mad at Nick Saban. LSU is still. They're still mad.
E
He doesn't even coach anymore.
A
And he won a national championship there too. And they're so mad at him.
B
Still mad at him.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part? You won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org

Welcome back to the Bobbycast. We got some other things to talk about. Next up, I'm not a soccer guy. I think whenever the Olympics or World cup happens, I kind of watch what happens with America. We're never good, so it's tough to, one, not have the sport around you, and then two, when you're not good, it's kind of hard to really dunk yourself in. The women are good, I should say that. But this is men's, and so it is going to be in North America. So America, Canada, Mexico, Right? World Cup. Do you care, Eddie?
B
Yes.
E
Love the World Cup. I watch all the World Cups, but that's the only time I really watch soccer. I don't watch any kind of Premier League.
A
Do you not watch Olympics, though?
E
No.
A
Okay.
E
I don't even watch Olympics. And I think every year they have a big game here, right? Like where? The Mexican Gold Cup.
A
I know nothing, but. Yeah, so they'll do the Gold cup where it's Mexico, it's some of the Central American teams.
E
Yeah, they'll have that here, and there's no interest. But the World cup for me is awesome.
A
Yeah, I love it. You like soccer?
B
I like soccer when nothing else is keeping score. Like, I enjoy it, but I don't seek it out.
A
You know, I watch America. But the. Really, the. The reason it's a bit controversial now is that they're doing basically a FIFA halftime show, which is a very American thing to do. It is because Super Bowl. Heck, Matt's played halftime of bowl games where he does the music at halftime. And the announcers are. And they're going, you're Americanizing the World Cup. But the. Sorry. The performers are Madonna, Shakira, and bts, which is only one American of the three.
E
No, that sounds like a pretty broad global mix.
A
But it's mostly the culture of America putting on a spectacle in the middle of a game because they don't really do those. They don't at soccer games around the world.
B
I think that's one of the great American exports that we have is the. Yeah, is like the whole build up around the event. Like, we're the best at that. Like, it. From, like, pro wrestling to Jake Paul to, like. I know we're talking about, like, the. The Savannah bananas. Like, the spectacle is a strength of ours, and I'm not. Sometimes I get worn out with it. Like, I'm tired of it. I don't want you Know, I don't always want it. Like, I like the fact that how they do stuff sometimes, like with very little or no playoffs, that makes a regular season matter. But we are good at the spectacle and I think it's. I think something we can offer the world because it sure isn't the soccer that we can help with. Yeah.
A
And this we're not offering much on the soccer side. Savannah Bananas are interesting. Like, I've never been to a game. Have you?
B
No, I hadn't.
A
They sell out football stadiums.
E
Yeah.
A
With a sport that's not even our biggest sport, like baseball, it's NFL. And then maybe baseball now has eclipsed basketball again because the last few years
B
the pitch clock, man.
A
The pitch clock. Ohtani, who's not American, but still, I think baseball probably now is slightly over basketball. But baseball is not as massive as it was back in even the 80s or 90s.
E
The golden age.
A
Yeah. And so the Savannah Bananas, what they've been able to do is pretty crazy considering it's with baseball. They're doing the games where they drive around in a bus and like play at high school stadiums like pop ups. That's super cool. They sell massive tickets. One of the guys, I think Jackson. Jackson, Arnold, I think is his name, he's on Dancing with the Stars. He's been one of the guys announced as a Savannah Bananas player. Wow.
B
It's cool.
A
Going to be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. Like that's how culturally impactful that that's become.
E
Yeah. I'm starting to see kids too with like Savannah Banana jerseys.
A
Like they would.
E
With a Kobe jersey or whatever jersey. Right. Like it's part of.
A
That's crazy.
B
And now it's like a league. Right. It's not just they have like six
A
or eight teams or so. Yeah.
B
Banana ball or whatever. And so it's like. But it's very much in the same way that the biggest. I think it's cool that people are interested. It's probably the ticket. Like the. You could probably take your kids, a family to a Savannah Bananas game a lot easier than you can. And they travel for one thing, you
A
know, and they make sure tickets are reasonable. Reasonable price, say Garth Brooks, the tickets.
B
And also like, I had no idea. I didn't. I should have played baseball. I didn't. I feel like an idiot because of that. But that's neither here nor there. I didn't know you could. I didn't know there were so many like trick shots available to you. For lack of a better word.
A
Baseball.
B
Yeah. I didn't know you had all. All this. All this Riz that you could do on. I thought that was like a hoops thing. You can't do it.
E
And it wasn't a thing.
B
No, I mean, you can like doing catching, doing back flips, mostly because the
A
ball hurts worse than baseball if it hits you. So you didn't try it. Like, if the ball hits you in basketball or who cares, right? Yeah. You get hit by a base trying one of those behind the back shortstop. It's interesting to see how that league has grown, how big it's gotten. And we were. It was on because we were watching Arkansas softball last week on espn, which is also crazy. They have every game period, like, of every softball team. It's wild. And we just left the channel on because my wife was with the baby. And a Savannah Bananas game comes on that same channel right after. And I walk in, it's like third inning, and I turn it off. Cause I was like, she doesn't want this on. My wife goes, I was watching that. I was enjoying that. And I was like, you like Savannah? I can't even say Savannah Bananas. I was like, you like Savannah Bananas? She goes, not really. But on tv, it was really fun. So I guess it even translates to television because she normally wouldn't watch a baseball game, but she was watching the Savannah Bananas.
E
That's cool.
A
For me, though, I'm gonna. It's just evening. I'm probably gonna try to find a Cubs game.
E
Is that a Savannah Banana game?
A
Right.
B
I carry, like. But it serves a purpose. Like the score in a Harlem Globetrotters game. Doesn't matter.
A
Yeah, it's the Harlem Globetrotters in baseball.
B
Yeah. You know, and one mixtape was kind of that in basketball. It never. It never achieved those heights. But it, you know, there has been that in football. You just can't do it.
E
Did you all ever see the Globetrotters?
A
Yeah.
E
In person.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know that I ever did.
E
It's amazing.
A
I went to a game. It's crazy.
E
It's amazing.
A
They even made like two half court shots. Cause you would think you're just gonna miss some. Eventually you'll make one. Because half court shots are difficult to make, even if you're really great. Like, Steph is gonna miss half court shots. Yeah, dude. They shot two and made two. I saw my own eyes.
E
I know.
A
It's wild. It's also super funny because it's like moving the ball and you see the guy in Washington General's like, oh, I'm Confused. I was always so shocked when the Generals lost or when the Generals won that one time.
B
Oh, I didn't even know they've won.
A
They won. It was a big story. I didn't think they actually tried.
B
They can't. They had. That has to be a way to get the Globetrotters in the papers to let the.
E
That could be right. That's our move.
B
Yeah. It's like saying. It's like saying, you know, who's. You know, John Cena lost. You know, it's like, okay.
E
Yes.
B
You know, it's very much.
A
Okay. Let's see here. There's a. They even have the wins from the Washington generals. One was January 5, 1971.
E
January 5, 1971. Yeah.
A
There was a more recent one, too, but I don't know.
B
Guys have nothing to do with Harlem. The Globetrotters.
E
They're not from Harlem.
B
No, they're from. They're an LLC out of Nebraska. They have nothing to do with Harlem.
E
But at one point, they must have.
B
No, they named. They're the. See, fact check me on that. The Harlem Globetrotters. The only tie is the name Harlem in it. From what I understand. From what I understand, I could be
A
wrong, but look it up here. The Harlem Globetrotters are not actually from Harlem. They're from the Midwest. They were founded in 1926. The manager, Abe Saperstein, named them the Harlem globetrotters in 1930 to highlight their all black roster, as Harlem was then considered the premier center of black American culture. So because they had a bunch of black players. Wow.
B
You think in 1930, the Harlem Globetrotters from. Not. That's 35, four years before, like, they integrated schools in Little Rock or whatever, and they're touring around. Playing sports. Brings people together.
A
The world, too. The Globetros were playing in other countries.
E
Back to them, though.
A
Back in, like, for sure, like the 50s and 60s.
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
In 1926, the. The south side, Chicago, where all the original players were raised, were the harm. Globetrotters. Wow. Yeah. They originated in 1926. They were all. That's cool. I didn't know that.
E
Matt, how did you get in? Like, how did you find that out? It was just one night where you're, like, thinking about it.
B
I'm sure it was my algorithm just feeding me things that.
A
Are there any white guys in the Globetrotters?
B
That's a great question. I can't remember one.
A
I have a friend who's white. He was drafted by them.
B
Do you know who was a Globetrotter Forever. Who? Kareem Reed.
A
Oh, after he left Arkansas.
B
Yeah.
E
How do you get drafted to be? Is it part of the draft?
A
So I had a friend, white guy, who was drafted. While historically an all black team, the Harlem Globetrotters have featured white players, most notably Paul Dazzle Kitten, a Polish player known for his freestyle skills. Other white players, such as Bob Karstens in 1940s, helped innovate. Yeah, but really, no. So Mark Titus, who I'm friends with, who works at barstool, was drafted and they think. He thinks they just drafted him to be funny, like, to get in the press. So he went to. He went to the workout with them
E
and then he got cut. He didn't make.
A
Yeah, they eventually were like, we're just playing.
E
That's fine.
B
But he thought Titus was your first name.
A
He has the jersey. He still has the jersey, but he didn't make the team there. So that's interesting about the Globetrotters. A fun show.
E
Yeah, dude. I remember they went to the Valley, South Texas, where no one toured.
A
Did they do the bucket thing?
E
I don't know.
A
They had the bucket of water and they're running and they throw it. It turns out to be all the confetti and throw it on somebody in
E
the crowd and you're like, oh God,
B
the ball with the, like the yo, yo ball's got the string on it. Old metal art. Lemon for you in there.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part?

This is the Bobbycast.
A
All right, boys, Curly, Neal, we're going to do a little music here. I have a list of rock artists who have never had a number one hit on the Billboard 100. So these are going to be massive artists who have never had a hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Which means that's the overall chart. Right?
B
That's all charts in never had a number one.
A
Yep. It's pop, it's rough. But it's the main, main, main chart.
B
It's 1, Ella's 1 and 2 on right now.
A
Yes.
B
Amazing.
A
Yes.
E
Yeah.
A
So it's rare for a country artist to have like Wallen, garth, Luke Combs, L.L. langley has two now. So it's rare. But these are massive artists. So I'm gonna tell you who it is, but see if you can guess their their highest charting song. Okay, these are on the Billboard 100. Yes. ACDC.
B
What song?
A
What's their highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100? Not the rock chart.
E
Okay.
A
They've had in their sub genre, they've had number ones.
E
I'm gonna go with rock Rock youk All Night Long. Rock Me All Night Long or Shook Me. Shook Me All Night Long.
B
That's what I would have gone with, but just to do something different, I'm gonna go with Thunderstruck.
A
In 1991, their highest spot was number 23 with the song Money Talks.
B
Whoa.
E
And how does that one go?
A
Listen to the Money Talk.
B
I had no idea that's what that lyric was. And in my mind, I'm just gonna just keep it a buck with y'. All. Thought that was Kiss. All right, go ahead.
A
Next up, 00, by the way. Okay, well, yeah, you guys can play as a team.
E
All right.
A
Because we don't have a weight on it.
B
Let's go.
A
Black Sabbath had a song hit number 52, the highest chart position ever in 1972. Again, no number ones. Their highest song was at number 52. What is it?
B
Sabbath?
E
Paranoia.
B
Crazy Train.
E
That might be Ozzy.
B
Oh, that's just Aussie.
E
Yes, Sabbath would be. What's the pig? The pig one.
B
Oh, War Pig.
E
War Pig.
B
I bet War Pig wasn't that high. Go with what you said.
E
Paranoia.
A
Iron Man.
B
Iron man.
A
Highest ever, number 52. War Pigs is awesome, though. That's a good one. Bruce Springsteen never had a number one. He did have a song hit number two in the 80s.
E
Matt, you're. We're going to want to say Born in the usa, but I think it's going to be Dancing in the Dark. Dancing in the Dark.
B
I like Dancing in the Dark because there's so many. It could be, like. Let's go with Dancing in the Dark
E
because, like, yeah, it could be Born to Run. Born in the USA it could be.
B
Oh, it could be. What's the Glory Days? It could be Glory Days.
A
Is that Glory Days?
B
It could be that. It could be. I mean, my favorite. Atlantic City is my favorite.
E
Me, too, dude. I love Atlantic City.
B
Let's go. It could be. I'm on Fire.
A
Oh, it's a good one. Or what about. Didn't they do in the movie Philadelphia? Jerry Maguire? Yeah, and they did the words in it.
E
Oh, that's Secret Garden.
A
Did you know the human brain was only £10?
E
Such a jam, though.
A
That was.
E
No, I. I think it's Dancing in
A
the Dark, number two in 1984.
E
Come on, baby.
A
Bruce Springsteen's highest song was Born in the Dancing in the Dark. Dancing in the Dark.
E
Yeah. We did it, dude.
A
That's a good one.
B
We gotta come up with a thing. Let's just go back.
A
Hand is Dancing in the Dark to Courtney Cox. On stage.
B
Video. Yes.
A
Yeah. She comes up and dances before she got famous. Right, Mike? That's Courtney Cox. That too, yeah.
B
Change my clothes. Mouth oh, my face.
A
It's a good one. I never a Bruce guy. I'm not an anti Bruce guy, but
B
I wasn't then I got into it because I didn't like the sounds of that era. I didn't like the sounds of the whole time. Yeah. Like, everything got transistorized and small and thin, and I hated it. And then I started listening to the songs. Tom Petty is a little bit that way for me, too.
A
I love Tom Petty.
B
I had to listen through it because it was so, like, squashed. But the songs are so great.
E
They're also great.
A
Yeah. Not a Bruce guy. Not a Bruce guy. Am a Tom Petty guy.
E
Love Tom Petty.
A
Love Tom Petty. And I don't know what transistorized means,
E
but something about the sound.
B
They went from tubes from, like, analog to digital. Basically transistors in the technology that they recorded with, like, with mics, with soundboards and things. Like, nowadays we go analog to digital so that we get the warmth in the chain.
A
This is the guy that's got number one songs. Wow. Yeah. Not us. Okay, here we go. Green Day. What's their highest charting song? They had one peak at number two. Never a number one.
E
Can you give us the year?
B
No, it's gonna be later.
A
Because they're American Idiot. There are two generations of Green Day.
B
It's. That's what I'm saying. I bet it's the later because what's
A
the over, under on if they get 3 or more? 3.5. You go. Think they'll get over, under? I'm gonna say under.
B
Thank you, Mike. Thanks.
E
Thank you.
B
Dude, we got one.
E
I like where you're going. What's the Boulevard of Broken Dreams? Was that big?
B
Yeah. You're telling me. We can't get. You gave us a year on all the other ones.
A
Yeah, but Green Day has two eras, and I don't want to separate the eras.
E
It's got to be the second era.
A
Yeah, the second era. You mean the newer.
E
The newer era, yeah.
A
So you don't think, like, the dookie stuff.
B
No, I think that. I think it went off like a bomb. And it was like. I think when they were established, they would release something that would be. I think it's like American Idiot or whatever.
E
What about the. So the time of.
B
Oh, yeah. It's that one time of our lives.
E
Good riddance. No, that's not good riddance.
A
That's good Riddance. It is Good riddance. Parentheses. Time of our Life. I think that sounds.
B
That sounds right to me. Although that was early, though.
E
But the one you said, that was American Idiot. That was big.
B
It was big.
A
So you guys are going with that second era?
E
Yeah, we're trashing.
A
And that second era was Boulevard Broken Dreams. American Idiot. Time of your life. Good riddance.
B
That counts. I think. I think Good Riddance was like. I can't tell.
A
I think that was second era. Right, Mike? Good riddance.
B
No, Good riddance.
A
I would put that in the first.
B
That's for you. Yeah, because that was, like, on the.
E
Okay.
B
The ny. The. The New Year's Eve special.
A
What's good? How's Good Riddance go. Oh, yeah. I meant Boulevard Broken Dreams. Is that. That's second era, right?
E
Okay.
B
That's Green Day two. Electric Boogaloo.
A
I love Green Day one. I like Longview. I just remember playing.
E
That's a jam.
A
Yeah. What are you guys going with?
E
Okay, let's go. Second era. Second era. Gosh, dude.
B
Boulevard Broken Dreams.
E
What's the first one? Let's go with the first one. You said American Idiot. American Idiot.
A
The answer is Boulevard Broken Dream. Picked a number two in 2005. Dang. I would have guessed. Probably Good Riddance.
B
I thought that was, like. They've had so many huge hits.
A
Or Wake Me Up When September Ends. I probably would have had.
E
That was a jam.
A
They've had massive songs in a second iteration. That's so rare.
B
They're one of those bands that, when they came along, they're like Stapleton, Everybody. And Rihanna. Everybody started trying to sing like them.
A
Like Green Day.
B
Yeah.
E
And you're talking about earlier, about the spectacle, you know, before the event or whatever there. Before the Super Bowl. Performance was great. Did you guys see that, by any chance?
B
I don't, like.
E
I don't think it got a lot of attention because it was before everything started. But it was so good that I feel like at some point they're gonna have to be the halftime show.
B
Hmm.
A
Who?
E
Green Day. He said, who? Green Day.
A
Depends on where. If it's in California, it has to
E
be, which is where it was. So that's why. Yeah.
A
Yeah. I stopped listening for a second because I was looking at some of these other ones.
B
Who are you talking. Can you say exactly what you said 20 seconds ago? Go.
A
All right, Journey.
E
Don't stop believing.
B
It's gotta be. Don't stop. I mean, what's the other, like, the obvious. That's the obvious one.
E
I don't Know if I could tell
A
you another Journey song, you would know many Journey songs. I know, but I can't. I'll pull up their biggest just to give you guys some. Some play area.
E
Appreciate that. But don't Stop believing.
B
That's got me out of the.
A
So don't stop believing any way you want it.
E
That's big.
A
Faithfully.
E
Faithfully. Yeah.
A
That's a good one. So I don't know what. Some of these are new on their list. Open arms. How I come to you with open arms Lovin touch and squeezin'. Don't know that one. But they have stiff ones.
B
It can't be. It can't be. The obvious one. He wouldn't have asked that if it was. I didn't make the list. Or would he?
A
Both are true.
E
Like, that's the thing with Bobby. Like, you never know.
B
I mean, surely we gotta do.
E
What was the other one? Not faithfully, though. The one you said.
A
I've already given it to you. I'm not gonna give you more.
E
Okay, Matt, It's.
B
It's any way you want it.
A
That's.
E
That could be, dude. That could be.
B
Yeah, but it needs to be just a small town.
E
It has to be.
B
It's gotta be.
A
Your answer is. Do it.
B
Yeah.
E
Don't stop believing.
A
It is. Open arms.
B
God, I would have never got that
A
number two in 1982.
B
Well, I gave it.
A
I gave it to you. That was one of them.
E
Micah's looking smart.
B
Yeah.
A
Next up, Kiss.
B
It's hard.
E
Okay, here's Kiss.
B
I mean, to me, it's gotta be Shook.
E
No. Rock and Roll all night.
B
Yeah. Or it's that power ballad one that they did.
A
Which one? From the. The mentors. What? Mike? Role Models. I only know that song from Role Models.
B
They took their makeup off for one of them.
A
That wasn't that.
B
Man. It's so weird watching a guy in, like, cat icp. Cat makeup sing a power ballad.
A
That's tough. It is.
B
Hey, do icp. What's their thing?
A
Hey, they never hit.
B
You telling me the great Malenko is not on that list?
A
Kiss.
E
It's gotta be. What is it? What's the name of that song?
A
Rock and roll all night.
B
Rock and roll Party every day it's
E
gotta be Rock and roll all night.
A
It is. Beth.
E
Oh, my gosh dang it. That's crazy. How does that one go?
A
Beth.
E
Beth. Sounds like Benny and the Jets.
B
Beth and the Jets.
A
But I do only know it from Role Models. And then I went and streamed. I love the song. Now, although I can't sing.
B
Boys are playing.
A
Okay, we have four left. You guys are kind of struggling. Yeah, we are.
B
This is okay. I feel like, you know, we're fouling some pitches off.
A
Okay, you still can beat the three. If you get three of the four.
E
We have four left.
A
You can hit the over. Come on, Led Zeppelin.
E
This is hard.
A
Their biggest song hit number four in 1970.
E
Okay, we got the year, dude, hear me out.
A
Era one of Zeppelin or era two.
E
Yeah, exactly. Could it be Dire Maker? That was a big hit, right?
A
I will tell you this. It is not Dire Maker, okay?
B
I'm thinking this, like.
E
It's not Stairway. Let's not go down. This whole thing.
B
It's gotta be Stairway.
E
We can't do this again. We keep picking the biggest songs and it's not.
A
It.
B
It's gotta be Stairway. It was an immigrant song. What's the dog shake the dog?
A
Black Dog.
B
Black Dog, Black Dog.
E
70s, 1970.
B
I mean, we're going to be like. If we. If we don't guess Stairway to Heaven, and it's Stairway to Heaven, we're going to have triple stamp to double stamp here.
E
You think at some point it's going to be that big?
B
Dude, at some point it's got to be.
E
I don't. I don't think it's Stairway, dude.
B
I don't know when that came out. I have no frame of reference.
A
You Both can guess one on this one.
B
Then I'll take stairway for 500.
E
It's not going to be Stairway. I'm going to go with. Black Dog.
A
Whole lot of love.
B
Whole lot of love. All right.
A
Number four. All right, we have three left. Metallica.
E
Okay, this has got to be one of the movies.
A
Number 10.
B
It has to be off the blackout.
E
In. In 19.
B
In. In. Okay, these rules are a little arbitrary. They're very arbitrary. It's completely arbitrary. Dude.
E
It's gotta be. Nothing else matters.
B
Yeah. It's either that or it's Inner Sandman.
A
I'll tell you this. Both those are wrong.
E
Unforgiven.
B
They're big. What's like after that? Like Whiskey in a jar. When they did that cover, did that hit. This is bad. Content. Like Silence.
E
What we think Master of Puppets.
A
There's a record, huh? Is that a song on the record, too?
E
Yeah. Master.
A
Was that the name of the album, though?
B
Yeah, this, like, Bad Company song was called Bad Company off the album. Bad Company.
A
I was never a Metallica guy. I was told that they sold their soul to the devil. And I believe that Crap. When I was a kid, so I just never. Yeah.
B
Of all the. Man, we lost a lot of good bands to the devil.
E
That was on the band, dude.
A
It's on the band. All right, Metallica, guys.
B
Unforgiven, Whiskey In a Jar until it Sleeps.
E
I don't even know how that goes.
A
1996.
B
How about a country song?
A
Two left. Well, that really hasn't happened.
E
And plus, he said rock songs.
A
Yeah, these are all.
B
Did you just say there's never been a country song that hasn't gone number one?
A
No, I'm saying that's only really happened recently on the Billboard hunt. That chart has not existed forever.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
So, all right. Nirvana.
B
Two Left.
E
Okay. It's After Death.
B
It can't be Smells Like Teen Spirit. We're getting two guesses a piece from here on out.
E
We're not doing that.
A
You can have one guess a piece.
B
That's what I mean.
E
Two guesses would be great.
B
See, see, I bargained that part of the deal.
E
Could it be the. The Bowie cover?
B
It's.
A
It's got it like the man who Sold the World. That's the song you're thinking about.
B
I mean, I think it's got to be Smells Like Teen Spirit, but that's the obvious choice. I know one of these obvious choices is gonna hit, so I'm gonna take the obvious choice. And then you take. You take the. The Bowie covered.
E
I'm gonna take the Bowie.
A
It's not the Bowie win. That was only one. That was only done on the Unplugged album.
E
That wasn't a single ever.
A
It was. No, it was just on the Unplugged album.
E
Okay, well then that doesn't count.
A
The singles would be like Smells Like Teen Spirit.
E
Here we go.
B
Heart shaped box.
E
Heart shaped Box. As I was thinking that.
A
Okay, well, if you're as smart, keep going.
E
Well, because I know you're not going to give us the one Nevermind.
B
That was a record. I don't know. I'm saying it smells like Teen Spirit.
E
Give me a hard shaped box.
A
It smells like Teen Spirit.
B
Yes. Write that down, Mike.
A
It's two points.
E
We can still get it.
A
But like, come as you are. That was a big single.
B
As you were.
A
Yeah, All Apologies was a big single for them. Oh, yes, but that. All Apologies was from In Utero, so it's Heart Shaped Box. I believe those weren't Nevermind songs. But the other two were.
E
That's the one with the angel. You can see through her body.
A
Okay, last one. Red Hot Chili Peppers. They had a song that peaked at number two.
B
This is. I think it's. I think it's Californication.
A
They also had to. They had. They still had a monster second era too. Like Green Day. I never thought about that because they crushed early and then came back and crushed again.
B
Californiacation's my guess. Oh, no, no, no.
E
Under the bridge.
B
It's under the bridge. It's. What's the. What's the one that got the slide? Scar tissue. I'm going scar tissue.
A
Also a massive second era song.
E
Scar tissue with a voice.
B
You saw scar tissue to me.
E
I'm gonna go under the bridge.
A
It is under the bridge.
B
Hey, we got it.
E
Dude, we're going backwards.
A
You guys ended up getting three. You hit the under.
E
Damn.
A
Say.
E
All right.
A
It's a push.
E
So.
A
No, we're three and a half.
B
Well, give us a wild card. Give us a chance to win our money back.
A
I don't have any more. One more. I can only search so many.
B
You can type in your favorite band and type in bill, top Billboard 100, song of Coldplay. Although don't do that because they have number ones.
A
What do you think the most streamed Chili Pepper song is ever streamed?
E
The most streamed. Okay, it's got it. It's got to be one of the ones you said. California.
B
Yeah.
A
It's either that or it's not one of the ones you said.
E
It's not.
B
It's. Get it away. Get it away now.
A
You think it's can't stop. Can't stop the thing. Yeah. Number two is scar tissue. Scar tissue that I wish you suck. Three is Californication. Four is under the Bridge. Five is one of the newer other side. In that second.
E
Take it on the other side.
B
We get the band back together, guys.
E
Let's do it. Let's do it, dude. Today I'm gonna listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers.
A
They're so good. I've seen so much one of the three or four bands I've ever seen double digit times, dude.
B
You know what keeps coming up with my algorithm is Rage Against a Machine. At that. I don't know what festival that's at where they're all. It's when they're young and they're all staring back at that drum set. And there is a sea of people.
E
It starts with them talking at the drum set.
B
And then Tom Rose go.
E
Going killing.
B
And they go. And they go. That whole place is doing this. It is the best.
E
And that is so rare in America to make a crowd do that.
B
Oh, dude.
A
Have you watched the Billie Eilish one, though? In the daytime where she got so big. I think it's like a foreign music festival.
E
It has to be foreign, dude.
A
It is one of the most unbelievable live performances I have ever seen. I think she's doing bad guy. It's a bad guy.
B
She's singing through the fan.
A
I'm gonna pull it up because it's cool.
B
I like it. But it's very much the effect of singing through a.
A
Like a. Yeah, no, you guys have to watch this clip here because there
E
is also one of Pearl Jam singing in Argentina.
A
2019, Reading Festival. Guys, this is one of the coolest clips I've ever seen in my whole life of festivals. And I love festivals. And I love, like, Queen at Live Aid is like a legendary one. I gotta find a better one. Why is this on Facebook? What's even on Facebook?
B
What is Facebook?
E
Why am I on here?
A
Mike, have you ever seen this video? I have seen that. Yeah. Isn't it like. And it's not like I'm the biggest Billie Eilish fan, but I respect it.
B
Big T shirt. Oh, wow. Yeah.
A
Like, this is the daytime. She blew up so fast and we can't do a lot of music here. But how they. They're singing it with such patience.
B
Isn't she like 15 here?
A
Yeah, no, this is what she just popped.
E
That's amazing.
A
It's. It's 10,000 people deep and they are singing every word as hard and as loud as they possibly can. So. Yeah, she's a kid. I'm gonna fast forward a little bit. If you get a minute, watch it. You'll be blown away as well. One of the coolest festival things I've ever seen. It is crazy to watch festivals now without people holding phones up like clips now. Actually enjoying it. Yeah, I think kids enjoy it now too.
B
Yeah, they enjoy it now. They capture it as part of the thing.
A
That's the old thing to say. It's a no guy thing to say.
B
Here's the thing.
E
Because, like, I like Old man river over here. I love recording shows, but I never go back and watch it.
A
Yeah, but that's not the point. That's also an old man thing to say. You do it so you can post it.
B
I feel pressure. I posted that.
A
No, you said you don't go back and watch it. Nobody goes back and watch.
E
Right. So why am I recording a whole song or something?
A
You're recording it so you can post it. You can find a good part to post.
E
No, no, No, I have that right. And I'm like, oh, I'll post that later. But, oh, I love this song. And recording that whole song. And I'm like, why am I recording this song?
B
Never go back.
E
I'll never go back and watch it.
A
But people now don't do it to go back and watch it. They're only recording it to post.
E
Just to post.
A
Yes.
E
Okay.
B
I'll tell you what else is like, I. So last night, again, nobody's keeping score on TV last night. So my wife and I are going through just, you know, I'm just putting on like, she likes it when I just get on the get to YouTube and. And just put music on like, she likes it when I just curated or whatever. And. And man, it'll give you such an appreciation for produced video of a concert like that. Billie Eilish was. As opposed to finding something cool of somebody holding a phone up at a big show, when you have, like, videographers that are doing it, it's like, oh, it's 100% worth it. Oh, that's cool. You get the board audio, you get the, you know, the visuals cutting in and out. And like, I enjoy that. There is something to be said for like an acoustic show. You know, somebody's like, seeing Stapleton and holding the phone up. That's dope. But also, like, at a big show, nothing ever comes off. Right.
E
It's the same as, like, when you go to a big show and you're watching the screen versus the artist.
B
Yeah.
E
And you're like, God, the screen looks so awesome. Like, it looks like such an awesome show. And then you look at the stage, you're like, oh, it's the same thing, but it doesn't look as cool because of all those cool cuts and effects.
B
Yeah, 100%.
E
You know what I'm saying?
A
You're just talking like an ancient old man right now.
E
What do you mean? That's exactly what he said.
B
I'm just saying if you take. If you go to see a show, watch the screen, Stapleton's gonna point at n experience with people.
E
No, I know, but it's crazy to see the screen and be like, this is so awesome. Then you look at the show and you're like, that's fine. But what the actual show that's happening, it's okay. The screen and the cuts and the edits look so cool.
B
But that's part of the show. I mean, a show gets so big,
A
if you get even talking about right now.
B
Well, it's the difference between going to see a show at the Ryman and going to see a show at Nissan Stadium, and you can see Stapleton at points of his life at the same place. But it'll be like, if you just had your phone up at Nissan, even in good tickets, it's gonna not sound that cool from your phone, and it's gonna not look that cool if you do that. The rhyme, it's gonna be awesome is the point. Like, there's a reason that the audio visual stuff is there. It's additive to the show.
A
Man, that's a weird conversation.
E
I don't think he understands. I don't think you understand.
B
I think you got lost in the sauce trying to find a tiebreaker. It's like people complaining.
A
It's like people complaining when movies came out. I don't like those motion pictures. I'd rather go see a play.
E
There's no complaining.
A
I agree.
E
I agree.
A
That's what it felt like to me, too.
B
It's like, where he is.
E
I'm not. I'm not even complaining about it.
B
I was complaining about, like, I, like, produced concert videos from big shows.
A
He was talking about being at a live show and then looking at the stage and being like, that doesn't look as cool.
E
The stage look is like, it's fine, but you look at the screen, you're like, gosh, that concert looks amazing. Yeah.
A
Because they're using cameras and technology, and
E
sometimes it's better to just look at the screen while you're there.
B
I feel like all three of us are just violently agreeing.
A
I feel like I just want to run into the door.
B
I feel like all saying the same thing, but just in a tone of voice that's very adversarial.
A
All right, that's it. What. What do you got out there that we can stream, Matt?
B
Oh, you want, like, rec from my YouTube or, like, my stuff?
A
Your stuff? Something.
B
Something.
E
Well, produced.
A
Something that you've. Anything you've just put out that you're, like, super passionate about.
B
Yeah, man. Sugar coats out. I love that. Last time I was in, I was talking with that. But, y', all, I got something sick coming out at the end of this month, and I can't say too much about it, you know, about it off camera a little bit, but I got some stuff in the oven with another artist that I'm really excited about, and I can't talk about it yet, so that's a tease.
A
So fun fact. I've used Sugarcoat as my Instagram song at least 70 times.
B
I know you have.
E
I'VE noticed you've been doing that.
B
Every time I'll comment on something, he's like, is that all you notice is what I did. Did you even read the post?
A
They were like, nice shoes. And I'm like, no, dude, I use your song. It just kind of became my own, like, my own personal bit. Everything I posted, I would just put Matt song sugar coat on there. All right, that's it. You guys follow Matt on socials. Is it at Matt Still?
B
Yeah, just.
A
Yeah, you don't have to be like, dude, it's cool.
E
We all have.
B
It's cool.
E
We all have it.
B
No, no, it. It is on most things. Some things it's like mouth herpes.
A
We all have it. There's no reason to be ashamed.
B
Yeah, it's like regular herpes.
E
It's not the kind.
A
It's different than the other kind of.
B
It's like herpes on your mouth.
E
That's what everybody hear, man.
A
Yeah, that's what everybody else. We all have social media.
B
I know some of mine are Matt Stale, some is Matt Stub. Music. Type in Matt Still. Look for a blue check mark. I will entertain you with my music and my antics.
A
There he is, the great Matt Still. All right, we will see you guys. See you guys next week.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem.
