Bobby Bones
Welcome to Friday's show Morning Studio. Morning. Right. Dan and Shay coming up in just a little bit. That'd be super cool. Glad everybody's here. The best state to raise a family. Now they have a lot of indicators here. Friendliness, annual family income on average of the entire state, housing affordability, health care quality, crime Rate school quality statewide. The best state. Number one. Massachusetts. So shout out Massachusetts. You guys are doing great. A little too cold. I'm going to go ahead and give my kids a little worse education for a little warmer. But. But that's okay. Great job. Massachusetts at number two. Minnesota, cold. North Dakota, cold. Nebraska, cold. New Hampshire, cold. New York at 6. Cold.
- [02:54]
Eddie
Oh, man.
- [02:54]
Bobby Bones
Illinois, seasonal. But I used to go to games at Wrigley in April. Cold. Wisconsin, cold. Maybe it's because they have to be inside.
- [03:02]
Ken Mears
Yeah, they can't get in Trouble.
- [03:04]
Bobby Bones
Maine at 9. Connecticut at 10. So shout out to all the cold states for having the best state to raise a family. That's good. And now you want the worst. These are all warmer states. There's not a single cold state on this list.
- [03:20]
Eddie
Alabama on there.
- [03:21]
Bobby Bones
Okay.
- [03:22]
Eddie
Yeah, it's warm. It's hot in Alabama.
- [03:25]
Bobby Bones
So I'm gonna go. One is the absolute worst. Okay. So I'm gonna go 10 to 1. 10. Arizona, hot.
- [03:31]
Amy
Oh, real hot. Like 150.
- [03:33]
Bobby Bones
Okay, we could. We can stop the hot and cold thing. I was just like a little bit. I was doing at the top. Yeah, yeah, but we don't do that for everyone. South Carolina at 9. Louisiana at 8. Arkansas at 7. Hey, look, it's a win for us.
- [03:44]
Ken Mears
I thought you're gonna be one. Dude, the way you were setting it.
- [03:47]
Bobby Bones
Up, usually us in Mississippi battle for the last spot in every single category. And it sucks. We don't have the leadership to get us out of. But at seven. Hey, look, they took us up six bites. Alabama, six. Oklahoma, five. Nevada, four. West Virginia, three. Mississippi, two. And the number one worst state to raise a family is New Mexico, which.
- [04:07]
Ken Mears
Oh, yeah. Breaking Bad.
- [04:09]
Amy
What?
- [04:10]
Bobby Bones
That's a problem.
- [04:11]
Amy
Sweet reference.
- [04:12]
Eddie
New Mexico.
- [04:12]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [04:13]
Amy
Is Albuquerque.
- [04:14]
Eddie
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
- [04:15]
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. But no, it's not real. That's not.
- [04:17]
Eddie
That's Eisenberg.
- [04:17]
Bobby Bones
You just yell on TV show. So everybody in Massachusetts, you win this day and everybody in New Mexico. There'll be better days ahead. Well, maybe better. Century later, I went again. It's a tough one. Coming up, George Burge, our buddy, is gonna debut a brand new song. And it's a great song. We'll get to that in just one second. But let's start with this. Now. He's in our Hyundai green room already. Wow, it's early. Okay, George Burge coming in in a second on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, George Burge, Georgia's new song. It Won't Be Long. It's so awesome. Like, it was one of those Moments where I listened to it and I was like, oh, yeah, this is what George is supposed to do, like, for his whole life. Like it. That song is that good. And dare I say, I don't think better is the word, but it's a it. It's elevated from the hits you've had so far. I think it's the most excited I've ever been about new music, and I think that's because it pulls the curtain back a little bit more. It lets me tell a little bit more of my story and kind of just grow as an artist. I had kind of been praying for this song. Man, there's a lot of pressure that comes with trying to follow up success in this industry be just because songs that are real and mean something to you are. Are hard to find. And so I've been writing and writing, and I had not had the song that I felt like was my guaranteed next single yet. And I was talking to Cara, my wife, and she was basically like, when you wrote Mind on you, you knew it was the one. And when you wrote cowboy songs, you knew it was the one. And until you have that complete certainty, you don't have it yet. And that same week, my dad and mom came to visit in town, and I was watching my dad playing in the backyard with my two little guys that I'm now raising, and I'm just watching the man that raised me teaching the kids that I'm trying to raise. And all of a sudden, I just have, like, all these flashbacks of, like, life and how magical the path has been to get here, even though there's been some hard times to it and how lucky we are if we slow down a little bit just to be here with each other. And this song ended up falling out that afternoon, and within 24 hours, we had declared it my next single. And I think it gives a little bit of a peek behind the curtain to who I am. And every little picture in this song is a real story that I have lived. And I think that's the first time. I've always had songs inspired by life, But I think this is the first song where, like, every single line is completely true and a real story. And I think that's awesome. Yeah, Bones, it's the Anonymous in box. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Send it into the wellness. Hello, Bobby. Bones. A few months ago, I discovered that my husband has been ordering fast food late at night after me and the kids go to bed. We typically eat pretty healthy, but we will have a cheat Day or days over the weekend. He's currently the most overweight he's ever been. He wants to lose weight, but obviously his eating habits are going to prevent that from happening. He also learned about a year ago that he has a heart condition and thankfully it's under control. But I'm worried that his weight will cause him to have more serious heart problems earlier in life. How can I bring that up? I know about his late night ordering. How can I bring it up without him knowing that I know? Or should I tell him and will he be offended? Signed, sincerely, wife of a closet eater, Amy, what would you do?
- [07:29]
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if he's gonna be offended, but I think there will be some potential shame that he has around that. So he may feel embarrassed if he's doing it and he's having to sneak it. He may be addicted in a way to something. I know that I've, in my eating disorder past, there were times where I would sneak food and eat food and do it discreetly and binge on certain things, and I had a lot of shame around that. So it's really delicate. But I think if he's your husband and you love him, like, it's okay to bring it up and ask how he's doing and want to know, hey, from him. How can I best support you? Because I love you and I. I want you to live a long time.
- [08:08]
Bobby Bones
Here's what I think is happening. He doesn't like the healthy food, so he's just trying to eat food that he likes later. I mean, that's it to me. Like, he just wants it. He's been told. We've probably all been told certain things about our health and you should really pay attention. And we all feel a bit invincible because we really don't think we're ever going to die. Although we all know we're going to die. And if you've been eating very healthy and he's ordering food, I think probably he just doesn't really like food that much. And so he's ordering something he likes, which is junk food. You can tell him, hey, I saw you're ordering a bunch of stuff like, bro.
- [08:36]
Amy
You don't think he's gonna be embarrassed?
- [08:38]
Bobby Bones
No, I think that he got caught maybe.
- [08:40]
Amy
I guess guys are just different.
- [08:41]
Bobby Bones
No, I'd be like, ah, crap. Mostly I would just be like, oh, crap, I got caught. I wouldn't be embarrassed. I wouldn't be embarrassed about it. I would just be like, hey, look, all I can do is tell you that the doctor said X, Y, and Z. And if you keep doing this, this is what's gonna happen. And so that sucks. So you're gonna keep ordering it? I don't think it's fine. But I'm not your parent. And so where can we meet? In the middle on this. Otherwise, he's going to keep doing it, and you're gonna end up in the same spot. So he's not gonna be embarrassed? Only that he got caught. Oh, then I'll cover his tracks better. You get caught, you learn how to do it.
- [09:13]
Amy
Addicted to it.
- [09:14]
Bobby Bones
No, I don't. I think he's addicted to not liking the healthy food at dinner time. Do you guys feel that way about dudes?
- [09:19]
Amy
Have y'all ever snuck food?
- [09:21]
Eddie
No.
- [09:21]
Bobby Bones
No.
- [09:22]
Eddie
I'm very open about my body.
- [09:24]
Amy
That's probably why I have a different perspective, because I snuck food before.
- [09:28]
Bobby Bones
I'll sneak food, but it's only because I don't want my wife to eat the rest of it. It's never because I'm embarrassed of it. If it's like, I got something and I know that she would probably eat the rest of it, I'll sneak it and then hide it somewhere in the fridge. But only because I'm selfish and want to eat the other part of it, too. Yeah, so call them on it and just go, look, I'm not your parent. Because the last thing a guy wants is somebody like a wife to act like they're. They're. It's the. Or.
- [09:51]
Amy
Or vice versa.
- [09:51]
Bobby Bones
It'll make him eat 10 times that. So you can't be nag. You can be like you're gonna do what you want to do. I don't agree with it, but is there somewhere we can meet in the middle on this? That's about the only way you can have that adult conversation with them.
- [10:02]
Amy
That hard stuff's no joke, though. He's gotta look out for that.
- [10:06]
Bobby Bones
Okay, now you're nagging me.
- [10:07]
Amy
No, I'm not nagging.
- [10:08]
Bobby Bones
What's with that tone? All right, here's Clay, who left us this voicemail. Had a pretty good morning, corny for Amy. I used to live a stone's throw from a family who all died of mysterious head injuries. Anyway, hope you're having a good day. Talk to you soon.
- [10:25]
Eddie
I don't know.
- [10:28]
Bobby Bones
That's funny. I'm gonna play it again. Let me pay attention. That gave me a good chuckle.
- [10:32]
Amy
It's dark.
- [10:33]
Bobby Bones
Okay, Ray, just hit the whole thing again. Had a pretty good morning, Corny for Amy. I used to Live a stone's throw from a family who all died of mysterious head injuries. Anyway, hope you're having a good day. Talk to you soon. He lived a stone's throw away, which they were getting hit by stones.
- [10:49]
Eddie
By stones that he was throwing.
- [10:51]
Amy
Yeah. Interesting.
- [10:52]
Bobby Bones
Pretty good. Here's Tommy in las veg. Didn't Lunchbox get a red card last week? And he's not supposed to be playing the games. And since Eddie won the easy trivia, who's he going to eliminate from the next round? Great question. Eddie will eliminate someone coming up a little later on in the show. And we've decided we're gonna use Lunchbox's red card in that same game. We have another one of those games.
- [11:15]
Eddie
Okay.
- [11:15]
Bobby Bones
And so he got red carded, but it'll be from that version of the game.
- [11:18]
Eddie
Gosh, I love listeners.
- [11:19]
Bobby Bones
Just keeping us straight. I would have forgotten that we forget everything. Yes, Tommy, thank you very much. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
- [11:28]
Amy
The FDA is now proposing that nutrition info be placed on the front of packaged foods. Now, not everything that you would see on the back, but three main things would be on the front. Saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. Boom. Right in front of your face.
- [11:42]
Bobby Bones
I get it. In theory, it sounds great, but we need to be talked to like, we're the dumbest humans ever. We just need, like, a little scale. One bar means terrible. Or do sad faces to happy faces.
- [11:54]
Amy
Okay.
- [11:54]
Bobby Bones
Like, how bad? When you go saturated sugar, Mongolian balaga. I'm like, I don't know what that is. Looks like it tastes good, though.
- [12:02]
Eddie
It's like the spicy meter, Right? It's like, they do hot, mild.
- [12:05]
Bobby Bones
You need to do that. And somebody's got to be the judge of how healthy. But you have to define what healthy is. But we have to be talked to like we're the dumbest, because we are.
- [12:14]
Amy
When it comes to this, I think you're onto something. I never thought of it that way, but that's pretty genius. It should be, like, maybe like a cancer meter. Like, you're okay. Cancer. Cancer.
- [12:24]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's. Oh, yeah. It's genius because it's so dumb. And we need to be talked to because we have a hundred things going around going on in our lives, and also, we don't even know what this stuff means.
- [12:34]
Amy
Yeah, I know. Like, this week, one of the big stories, too, is that how the red dye number three, whatever, is now illegal. And I'm like, well, wait, what is that? And it's in so many things. And they have, we're going to have it in our food until, like, I don't know, 20, 27 or something. But it got.
- [12:50]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I got two more years, bro.
- [12:51]
Amy
Yes. But, like, back in the 90s, it was made illegal for women's makeup. And I'm like, why did we take it out of makeup back in the 90s, but we're just now taking it out of our food.
- [13:01]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. 35 years ago, was barred from cosmetics because of a potential cancer risk, man. But don't worry, everybody. It was still in. All good.
- [13:08]
Amy
We put it in candy, and kids like.
- [13:10]
Bobby Bones
And mostly it's candy. Those Marichero cherries or whatever those are. I don't ever eat those. Yeah, maraschino. Maraschino cherries. But it's in random things. But ruin Skittles. Like, Skittles had whatever that chemical was that they had to pull out of the Skittles. Yep.
- [13:25]
Amy
Well, California at least did. Did we nationwide?
- [13:28]
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I just know somebody did. And we're like, well, why didn't we already pull this out? All right, what else?
- [13:33]
Amy
So a new Gallup poll asked Americans which professions they trust the most and which they trust the least. You want least or most?
- [13:41]
Bobby Bones
First I'm going to go. Most would be we have to trust doctors or they wouldn't exist.
- [13:47]
Amy
Yeah, we do. But they're at the bottom of the top five.
- [13:50]
Bobby Bones
So they're. But they're at the bottom of the top. Yeah, so they're in the top.
- [13:52]
Amy
They're in the top.
- [13:53]
Bobby Bones
Okay, so I'm gonna go. Oh, and I would say, like, pastors or priests, but there's too many of them. Touching kids.
- [13:58]
Amy
Yeah. They're not even on.
- [13:59]
Bobby Bones
I know. Oh, I know. What do you have at number one? I'm the most trusted nurses.
- [14:03]
Eddie
Oh, for sure.
- [14:04]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because they feel like they care. Yeah. Doctors. Not that they don't care. We feel like they're running everywhere. Yep.
- [14:10]
Amy
And, like, next.
- [14:10]
Bobby Bones
Next. Next. Next. Like, they, like. Okay, go ahead.
- [14:12]
Amy
Number two, teachers.
- [14:14]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we have to trust them or it doesn't exist. Okay, next.
- [14:18]
Amy
Military officers.
- [14:19]
Bobby Bones
Go ahead. We need those. Yep.
- [14:20]
Amy
And then in at number four is pharmacists. And following pharmacists is doctors. Medical doctors, to be specific. Bobby, you're a doctor.
- [14:26]
Bobby Bones
I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor. I have a doctorate of letters.
- [14:28]
Amy
Yeah.
- [14:28]
Bobby Bones
But, guys, if you want to know any letter and any number, you're the dude. Yeah. I can see any letter and name it, so.
- [14:35]
Eddie
That's amazing, man.
- [14:35]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Trust that. I know what I'm Talking about.
- [14:37]
Ken Mears
All right, Amy, what's.
- [14:38]
Bobby Bones
But what's the worst?
- [14:39]
Amy
Okay, so when it comes to who we trust the least. Lawyers, lobbyists, Congress, politicians, for sure. And TV reporters.
- [14:46]
Bobby Bones
Oh, lawyers has always been an unfair thing. Because of television. We don't even really know lawyers. Like, I never knew a single lawyer growing up, but I would just see on tv, don't trust a lawyer when.
- [14:59]
Amy
You need a lawyer.
- [15:00]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was just. It was always just this, like, Hollywood thing of, like, lawyers are shady. So you just grow up going, I think lawyers are. But really, I've never been screwed over by a lawyer. I've been in, like, negotiations against them, or somebody else has one. But that was always one we were told to be weary of. But then you're never really around them unless you're, like, rich. So the whole time you're like, that'd be cool if I even met a lawyer.
- [15:21]
Amy
Yeah. Oh, on the top of the list is lobbyists. I don't know a lobbyist, y'all.
- [15:24]
Bobby Bones
No, but they're mostly just shady.
- [15:27]
Amy
In D.C. they're fighting for that red dye number three.
- [15:29]
Bobby Bones
They are. They're fighting for titanium dioxide, which is the ingredient found in candy. Skittles. Oh, man. When the bill was introduced, Skittle somehow became the poster child for the band. But the final version of the law only affects four food chemicals and doesn't include titanium dioxide. I don't think you should eat anything with titanium. I. Listen, I'm not doctor of foods, but if it has titanium, I think you should get the frowny face on that one.
- [15:51]
Amy
Yeah, I do like Skittles, though.
- [15:53]
Bobby Bones
I do like Skittles.
- [15:54]
Amy
All right, what else in country news? Tickets for the Million Dollar show go on sale today. So I just want to shout that out because Obviously it supports St. Jude and it's such a fun night. And, Bobby, you can share all the details because it's literally your show.
- [16:07]
Bobby Bones
Well, for those who don't know, Eddie and I, we're in a band called the Raging Idiots, and I think this is, like, the eighth or ninth year we paused because of COVID It's the eighth. It is the eighth year we've done it.
- [16:16]
Amy
Yeah, I have it here.
- [16:17]
Eddie
Yeah, Covid was the last year.
- [16:19]
Bobby Bones
It was. We really wish we had that one back. And so, yeah, tickets are on sale today at 10am@bobbybones.com for that. And we play in our band, but then artists show up with us. Miranda Lambert's gonna play with us. Bailey Zimmerman. I'm reuniting my old band, O Town. The boy band. A ton of artists come by. We don't keep any of the money. It's for charity. That's happening. And then also in Austin, the Iheart Country Festival. Aren't tickets for that on sale today too? Not yet they're not. Thank God. I want to go up against that.
- [16:47]
Amy
There was a pre sale situation, but.
- [16:49]
Bobby Bones
Tickets, I was nervous. I was like, I want to go up against it. That's a massive show too. Okay then, never mind. We'll do that.
- [16:54]
Amy
Yeah. So that one's in Austin. The. The million dollar shows in Nashville at The Ryman on March 4th. And tickets go on sale today at 10am Central. Bobbybones.com you. I'm Amy. That's my pile.
- [17:05]
Bobby Bones
That was Amy's pile of stories. Come on, it's time for the good news with Amy.
- [17:10]
Jon Stewart
Tell me something good.
- [17:14]
Amy
So there's this guy, Trevor Phillips, and he found a dumpster full of flowers three years ago in Nashville. And he had no idea this would turn into an entire mission of spreading joy. His neighbor suggested, hey, you should save the flowers, deliver them to a senior living facility. So he did just that. This inspired Trevor to create Flower the People. It's a volunteer driven initiative dedicated to repurposing discarded flowers. So they take the discarded flowers, turn them into beautiful bouquets, and they deliver them to nursing homes all over. There's florists that volunteer, normal people to volunteer, businesses that volunteer. Everyone donates different things and times. And the senior citizens, they get loved too.
- [17:57]
Bobby Bones
So I want to say, first of all, I love it. Good for this dude. Finding something people are throwing away. One person's trash is another person's treasure.
- [18:03]
Amy
That's right.
- [18:04]
Bobby Bones
I would recommend changing the name, though. What? Flower to the people.
- [18:07]
Amy
Flower the people.
- [18:08]
Bobby Bones
No, Flower to the people.
- [18:09]
Eddie
I think Flower people. Like flower the people.
- [18:11]
Bobby Bones
No, Flower to the people. It's like power to the people. That's the. That's the rhyme. Flower to the people. I put a two in there and it'd be so much cooler.
- [18:18]
Eddie
One little word.
- [18:19]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Flower to the people. That. I remember that Flower the people sounds.
- [18:22]
Amy
Flower the people.
- [18:23]
Eddie
Yeah, like shower the people saying.
- [18:26]
Bobby Bones
That's not a saying.
- [18:27]
Eddie
Shower the people.
- [18:27]
Bobby Bones
No, not really. If I yell power to the people. That's.
- [18:30]
Eddie
I've heard that.
- [18:31]
Bobby Bones
How about this? Flower to the people.
- [18:32]
Amy
Wouldn't it be flowers to the people?
- [18:35]
Bobby Bones
No, it's not. Powers to the people.
- [18:36]
Amy
Because power is.
- [18:38]
Bobby Bones
Oh, it's power. Oh, my God. Anyway, Flower the people. Pretty cool. It is a great story.
- [18:44]
Amy
Flower the people.
- [18:45]
Bobby Bones

It felt like, I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest. It was a little pink. There was something sentimental when you.
- [21:55]
Jon Stewart
Like when you send it, it was.

Bobby Bones
Fun fact. I'll start back in 1908, the Olympics happened in London, and the entire Russian team showed up to the Olympics 12 days late. Why? Well, this was a time when the calendars had been changed and the rest of the world had switched to the Gregorian calendar, which we use now, but they were still in the Julian calendar, which I don't know what that is, but they still. It's like daylight savings time. Showing up late to church. Oh, they showed up late to the Olympics by 12 days.
- [23:17]
Eddie
You mentioned how shocked they were, because.
- [23:18]
Bobby Bones
It'S not like they got on Twitter and see what was happening. They're like, all right, guys, we're here. What the dang javelin's over. Thought that was pretty funny. Fun fact Friday, Amy.
- [23:28]
Amy
So Dr. Seuss's editor didn't think that he could write a book in 50 words or less. So Green Eggs and Ham was only written because of a bet, and it's 50 words on the dot.
- [23:39]
Bobby Bones
I had no idea. With so few words. I love a good bet, too. Wonder what DraftKings had that as the odds that he could do that?
- [23:45]
Eddie
A lot of money.
- [23:45]
Bobby Bones
Pretty tough. Yeah. Lunchbox.
- [23:47]
Ken Mears
Sagging sucks for women. Sagging sucks for men.
- [23:50]
Bobby Bones
So, women, Dr. Seuss.
- [23:54]
Ken Mears
If you'd like the sagging to slow down your breasts, quit sleeping on your stomach. That causes your breast to sag faster.
- [24:03]
Eddie
Okay, gravity, I guess.
- [24:05]
Bobby Bones
Sagging sucks for women. Sagging sucks for men. Sagging sucks. Always. Sagging sucks. Then Sagging sucks in a boat. Sagging sucks in a coat. Of all the things that sag when your boobs sag, it sucks the most. 50 words or less. I just did one on sagging. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, 19 of the most common last names in Mexico.
- [24:26]
Eddie
Ooh.
- [24:27]
Bobby Bones
Garcia end with S or Z. Oh, Sanchez. Okay, 19 of the 20s and Z. Rodriguez. The only outlier is Garcia.
- [24:37]
Eddie
No way.
- [24:38]
Bobby Bones
Which is the second most popular last name? Basically, you're the Jones of Mexico. Huh? Because I would believe Smith is first and Jones is second if I were guessing. Okay, common American names, but they all end in Ss or Z, except for.
- [24:51]
Eddie
Garcia, which is, like, down in my hometown. Like, they were. Must have been 10,000 garcias. Like, isn't that crazy? Like, so many Garcia.
- [25:00]
Bobby Bones
Not related.
- [25:01]
Eddie
Not related.
- [25:01]
Ken Mears
Well, but, you know.
- [25:03]
Eddie
Yeah, well, maybe lunchbox already went sag.
- [25:07]
Bobby Bones
Oh, I forgot, Dr. Seuss. I did a whole bit after that, so I forgot he even went Morgan. Okay, so this kind of goes off the first one you were sharing. Bobby. January is named after Janus, the Roman God of Janus.
- [25:19]
Amy
Yes, Janus. Janus.
- [25:22]
Bobby Bones
No, it. It looks like what you think with.
- [25:24]
Amy
The J at the front.
- [25:25]
Bobby Bones
Thank God they changed that name. Go ahead. The Roman God of doors, gates, and transitions. But in the ancient Roman calendar, January was not always the first month of the year. January 1 became the official start of the new year in 45 BC when Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar.
- [25:42]
Eddie
Oh, Julian calendar.
- [25:44]
Amy
Julius.
- [25:44]
Eddie
Julius Caesar.
- [25:45]
Bobby Bones
Well, then I want to do one off of yours. We all currently have hemorrhoids.
- [25:49]
Eddie
What?
- [25:49]
Bobby Bones
Well, she did Janus. We made a little joke.
- [25:51]
Eddie
That's good.
- [25:52]
Bobby Bones
Everybody has hemorrhoids. They're just not inflamed. They're naturally occurring cushions of veins in the anal canal. But they're only noticeable when they're a problem. When they become inflamed or swollen due to factors like straining during bowel movements. Having a baby running. I got mine from training. Just one, but it was a bad one.
- [26:11]
Eddie
But you apparently already had it. Yeah, you just inflamed it.
- [26:14]
Bobby Bones
That's a good point too. Well, then I got one bigger than the other. They're like twins. Who? One's way taller than the other one. Jealous.
- [26:19]
Amy
What is this to do with Morgan's?
- [26:21]
Bobby Bones
What Janus sounds like?
- [26:22]
Ken Mears
Yeah.
- [26:23]
Amy
Oh, anus.
- [26:23]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Then she hurt. Yeah.
- [26:25]
Amy
Oh.
- [26:25]
Bobby Bones
So we're just kind of rolling off each other.
- [26:26]
Amy
That hemorrhoid was maybe named after a Greek God, Henry. Hemi something. Hemorrho.
- [26:36]
Bobby Bones
I'm just gonna let you swim on this one. We're not gonna save you from drowning. Eddie, did you go yet?
- [26:41]
Eddie
No, I have not gone yet and I'm not gonna do follow you guys.
- [26:44]
Bobby Bones
Okay, Go ahead, go ahead.
- [26:45]
Eddie
So you know the song Smells like Teen Spirit?
- [26:46]
Bobby Bones
Nirvana.
- [26:47]
Eddie
Nirvana. Right, The. So Teen Spirit is the name of a woman's deodorant. I didn't know that. And so this whole song started because the girl that Kurt Cobain was.
- [26:55]
Bobby Bones
Did you not know that? Yeah.
- [26:56]
Ken Mears
Where have you been?
- [26:57]
Eddie
Oh, you serious?
- [26:58]
Amy
Yes.
- [26:58]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you get finished. I'm sorry, but what?
- [27:00]
Eddie
I had no clue. So when I saw this, I'm like, oh my gosh. Fun fact Friday.
- [27:04]
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
- [27:05]
Eddie
So apparently Kurt Cobain's girlfriend at the time spray painted in his room. Kurt smells like Teen Spirit. And that's kind of where he's like, that's funny. I'm gonna put that in the song.
- [27:14]
Bobby Bones
That's a cool story. Origin story of the song. But the fact you didn't know Teen Spirit was a deodorant.
- [27:21]
Eddie
I didn't even know what that song meant.
- [27:22]
Bobby Bones
Really?
- [27:22]
Eddie
Smells like Teen Spirit. Okay, cool.
- [27:24]
Bobby Bones
By the way, I just looked it up. Morgan, what was that calendar? What was January called? So it was named after Janus, the Roman God. Yan is how it's pronounced. Okay, I wouldn't have never gotten there Janus. I wouldn't have never gone to the hemorrhoids. Janus. The sixth commandment literally translates from Hebrew as Thou shall not murder not. Thou shalt not kill. Now do you know why?
- [27:51]
Amy
Because. Okay, because you may be able to kill someone in self defense.
- [27:56]
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
- [27:56]
Amy
But murder is cold blooded.
- [27:59]
Eddie
That was so smart.
- [28:00]
Bobby Bones
That is exactly it. So again, the translation goes to thou shalt not murder not. What we are often told and read is thou shalt not kill. Because lots of war, self defense. And Amy already knew that one.
- [28:15]
Eddie
Good job.
- [28:16]
Bobby Bones
And I knew yours. Nobody knew Janus not a single person. Fun Fact Friday, Bones. This woman was scammed out of $850,000 thinking she was talking with Brad Pitt. Did you see the story having. So she thinks she's talking with Brad Pit. He's sending her pictures. He's in the hospital. They're AI generated images. The scammer was using a Brett, but they don't even look real. It looks like they copied and pasted Brad Pitt's head on a body in a hot. It's great. And by the way, $850,000, that has that money. Crazy, right? And who has that money that's that rich? Like, there should be those decisions if you're going to be certain amount of rich. You got to pass a couple tests to have access to that kind of money.
- [28:59]
Amy
And if you have that kind of money, I just feel like there's checks and balances, right? Like, someone would notice. Like, hey, you're giving an awful lot of your money to.
- [29:07]
Bobby Bones
Unless they have so much money that it's not even noticed. But I'm telling you, the pictures that the scammer would send a Brad Pitt in the hospital are hilarious.
- [29:16]
Ken Mears
Hilarious.
- [29:16]
Bobby Bones
They're taken from, like, movies. The head doesn't quite fit the body. Yeah. Google it. This is from Entertainment Weekly. Brad Pitt fans are being warned about scammers after a French woman lost $850,000 and her marriage after falling prey to AI images and fake messages impersonating the actor. And in the AI images, because I think her name is Ann. Brad Pitt holds up a card with his face going, anne, I love you, but the head and the body are not the same size. Like, once I did an AI generation of myself as a doctor holding a baby because I wanted to see what the pictures would do. I did, like, nine different versions, and I had, like, nine fingers on one. It just couldn't nail it. And this is kind of what that is. And the scammer was using it, and she was just forking over money. Quote. It's awful that scammers take advantage of fans strong connection with celebrities. But this is an important reminder to not respond to unsolicited online outreach, especially from actors who have no social media presence. The scammers told Ann that Pitt needs funds to cover his kidney treatments, which he could not pay for himself due to his divorce proceedings freezing his bank accounts. So in the greatest lies there are truths. So he was going through the divorce, like, eight years with Angelina Jolie to convince an that the real pit was behind the account. The scammer Sent doctored and AI generated images of the actor in a hospital bed to verify his identity. I'm telling you, one of the heads, I swear to you, is in black and white. Like, everything else is in color, but the heads in black and white from, like, a movie. What are you laughing at?
- [30:51]
Amy
I'm laughing at one of the pictures where he's supposed to be on a ventilator. It seems like, because he's in ICU and he's got all this stuff, but, like, headshot. The. The hose that's normally go into the mouth area is like, into its chin. Because the photo, like.
- [31:11]
Bobby Bones
And it's like a headshot. It's a glamour shot in the hospital bed.
- [31:13]
Amy
And he looks perfectly healthy. Like the face. Yeah, it's.
- [31:16]
Bobby Bones
Do you see the black and white head one that everything else is in color, but his face is in black and white.
- [31:20]
Amy
I mean, I'm going through them all.
- [31:22]
Bobby Bones
I feel bad for her because she obviously did not have the capacity mentally to challenge these thoughts within herself.
- [31:30]
Ken Mears
I mean, she even divorced her husband.
- [31:32]
Eddie
She divorced her husband Or Brad Pitt, though. I mean, no.
- [31:35]
Amy
And she looks really pretty normal.
- [31:38]
Eddie
She's not old.
- [31:39]
Ken Mears
Oh, you got a picture.
- [31:39]
Amy
But I don't know what's normal she looks.
- [31:42]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're right. It's like when you see a teacher and you're like, well, I can't leave this teacher hooked up in the 11th grader. And you're like, wow, she's kind of pretty. That's. I didn't expect that it's that pretty. Like, if you were to see her normally out, you'd be like seven. But because she did the weird stuff, you're like, for weird people. 9.
- [32:00]
F
Wow.
- [32:00]
Bobby Bones
She's a weird person. 9.
- [32:02]
Eddie
And she's not old.
- [32:03]
Bobby Bones
She doesn't look old. She looks like she's like 40. Okay.
- [32:07]
Amy
I'm.
- [32:08]
Bobby Bones
Oh, she's 53.
- [32:08]
Amy
The.
- [32:09]
Bobby Bones
She looks good.
- [32:09]
Amy
53 black and white one. But they made the whole image black and white.
- [32:13]
Bobby Bones
I'm seeing with the beds and color. And his face is in black.
- [32:15]
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
- [32:17]
Bobby Bones
So $850,000.
- [32:19]
Amy
It's terrible.
- [32:20]
Bobby Bones
What sucks is, like, they asked Brad Pitt's people to comment. What do you say? And obviously, I think someone's like, are you going to give her the money back? Well, you can't do that because then. Because people have faked me to people and people have given them money. And one time I told Scuba, I was like, I'm just going to give this woman the month. The shell gave a fake me. Like, $2,000. And I'm like, I'm just gonna give her $2,000 of my money because I feel terrible for her. And Scoop was like, don't do that one. It sets a precedent in the two. You may be getting scammed by somebody saying they were getting scammed. Dang.
- [32:48]
Eddie
Good point.
- [32:50]
Amy
She's 53.
- [32:51]
Bobby Bones
The real irony would be if Brad Pitt falls in love with her now after all this. That's it. I'm rooting for the couple. I'm rooting for love here. Wild story, huh? Wild. It's time for the good news with Bob Hobby. Victor was a firefighter for 33 years, and he's a lot older now, so he cannot actually fight the fires. But he does have a therapy dog named Jack. And what he's doing is taking Jack to, like, all the shelters or wherever people are displaced, even to where the firefighters are, and just letting his therapy dog be a therapy dog for them.
- [33:27]
Amy
Love that. So they need it.
- [33:30]
Bobby Bones
Oh, man. Imagine being a firefighter over there now. Or. And they're coming in from all over the country, too.
- [33:36]
Amy
Yeah.
- [33:37]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they have to. Or from all over.
- [33:38]
Amy
California as well, and Mexico, and they're coming in from all over.
- [33:43]
Bobby Bones
That's pretty cool. So it's just one. Again, it's a minor thing, but everybody's finding their way to help. And I thought it was a great story. Saw it on Good morning America. And so a big shout out to Victor La Vega and his therapy dog, Jack, and that is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. 12 years old, kid in Michigan, drove 100 miles, stolen SUV. I'm thinking, to me, at 12, I could have probably pulled that off on smaller roads, because at 16 or 15 or whenever I took driver Zed with coach Castleberry, I was petrified to get on the interstate. So I don't think I got on the interstate. But I had to learn how to drive a little bit because Arkansas Keith would be like, okay, we gotta. I'm going this way. Try to get in front of the deer dog. Because we would hunt using dogs. When you hunt using dogs, you're listening to the dog's bark. Is there like running a deer and you're trying to get ahead of it. So I'd have to go and, like, pick him up. That's a 12 or 13. But I don't think I could have got 100 miles because I need to. Interstate. Yeah. This kid was tracking his progress south either from his iPhone or that app that Amy has.
- [34:47]
Jon Stewart
Life.
- [34:48]
Bobby Bones
360 deputies stop. The preteen in Grant Township is about 100 miles. No passengers. They did confiscate a 12 gauge pump action shotgun with several rounds of ammunition and a small amount of weed. At 12, he just lives a different life than I did.
- [35:03]
Amy
That is crazy.
- [35:05]
Bobby Bones
That's from M Live. It didn't say he had any plans to use the shotgun.
- [35:11]
Eddie
But he had it.
- [35:12]
Bobby Bones
But he had it. Yeah. I feel bad for the environment he had to grow up in. That's right. Oh yeah, that he, that all of that happened. So. But 12, I just imagine me, I got to the highway and quit. Been like, ah, I'm done. I'm out. Yeah.
- [35:26]
Eddie
Where am I going to go?
- [35:27]
Bobby Bones
Help. Somebody help me out of here now. Time for the morning corny. The morning corny.
- [35:35]
Amy
What's the least spoken language in the world?
- [35:38]
Bobby Bones
What?
- [35:38]
Amy
Sign language.
- [35:45]
Ken Mears
That was the morning corny.
- [35:48]
Bobby Bones
That's pretty funny.
- [35:49]
Eddie
You get it?
- [35:50]
Bobby Bones
No, of course I get it. I never don't get it, guys. For the record, I never don't get it. Well, I almost never don't get it. On the Bobby Bones show now, Dan and Shay, you guys walked in with their Starbucks. At least Shay did. Shay, what's your Starbucks drink?
- [36:02]
F
That's just black coffee.
- [36:03]
Bobby Bones
No way. Cowboy coffee.
- [36:05]
F
I'm not, you know, trying to be too manly to be like, you know, I don't enjoy a latte. I mean it tastes really good. But I've been eating no sugar for like the last 30 days. So I'm on that black. The cowboy coffee game.
- [36:15]
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna say that. And really for me it's just a cup of whipped cream. And I'll be like, no, black coffee. That's it.
- [36:21]
Jon Stewart
Is that your vibe?
- [36:22]
Bobby Bones
So my actual vibe, because I have a drink over here as well is I drink like a tea, a chai tea, but I don't. I hate coffee. But I always say to my wife, let me get my coffee. And she's like, it's not coffee. Don't be annoying. But I always say it's a coffee. What is yours, Dan?
- [36:35]
Jon Stewart
I feel like that's the American version of what that is though. It's like, let's, let's meet up for coffee, even if you're just having an avocado toast. You know what I'm saying? Like when you're in, avocado toast is a jam.
- [36:44]
Bobby Bones
Okay. Okay.
- [36:45]
F
Wow.
- [36:45]
Jon Stewart
I'm black coffee guy.
- [36:46]
Bobby Bones
You're black coffee too?
- [36:47]
Jon Stewart
Yeah, I'm like religious about the pour over and the whole deal. And it's a whole.
- [36:51]
Amy
How Long does it take you to make your morning coffee?
- [36:53]
Jon Stewart
This is bad. I actually calculated this because I make one for myself and I make one for Abby, and It's probably like, 30 to 40 minutes all. All in because it's a slow drip. You know, I got to clean out the V60 thing.
- [37:05]
Amy
Yeah.
- [37:05]
Jon Stewart
In a course of a year, it's several, like, weeks of my time, which is probably not a great situation. You know what I mean? You calculate it per day, but it's therapeutic, I'm sure.
- [37:14]
Bobby Bones
Who knew they were so metal? Like, they both come in, they're singing. Big houses like black coffee. We like a black coffee and a fist fight every morning.
- [37:22]
Jon Stewart
You got something else from my turtleneck here, Bobby.
- [37:25]
Bobby Bones
Dude.
- [37:25]
F
By the way, your coffee is way different than mine. Like, I had one of Dan's coffees one time, and it's legitimately the strongest coffee I've ever had. I was up for, like, three weeks. I mean, it is strong.
- [37:35]
Jon Stewart
I'm maniacal about it, though. It's like you get 20 grams of coffee, 16 to 1, ratio water to coffee beans. You're rolling. You know what I mean? It's meth.
- [37:42]
F
Smooth.
- [37:42]
Ken Mears
You measure it?
- [37:43]
Jon Stewart
Yeah, I measure it every day.
- [37:45]
Bobby Bones
Here's.
- [37:45]
Jon Stewart
Well, my scale, though, is running out of batteries quicker than it used to because Abby has gotten into sourdough.
- [37:50]
Bobby Bones
Oh, my wife, too. Same thing. So she make the thing. Does she create the living organism she.
- [37:55]
Jon Stewart
Probably got it from?
- [37:56]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah.
- [37:57]
Jon Stewart
It's called mother, I think.
- [37:58]
Bobby Bones
Yes. No. Yeah.
- [38:00]
Jon Stewart
Abby dropped it off for Caitlyn. Or vice versa. I'm not sure where. Where it came from, but it's apparently been living for, like, 25 years.
- [38:07]
Bobby Bones
That's.
- [38:08]
Jon Stewart
It's wild.
- [38:09]
Bobby Bones
Starter, Caitlyn. God. The first one was, like, 80 years old. It's like, Amy, you have to lend something to this, because we don't know what we're talking about.
- [38:16]
F
It can be really old, right?
- [38:17]
Amy
Yeah. A lot of friends start it. Like, you need your starter, and, yes, you'll either get it from a friend or you can order it.
- [38:22]
Bobby Bones
This is 80 years old.
- [38:24]
Amy
It's multiplies. So, yes, that particular starter, if you go back to the origin or the root of it, it's from when it was for bread.
- [38:30]
Bobby Bones
For sourdough bread.
- [38:32]
Jon Stewart
Are you on the sourdough train?
- [38:33]
Amy
No, I want to be.
- [38:34]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [38:35]
Bobby Bones
I mean, tickets are free.
- [38:36]
F
Yeah, tickets are free.
- [38:38]
Amy
I know, but I just have to kind of, like, make the move.
- [38:40]
F
I thought my friend was messing with me when they told me, like, that his wife had gotten into making sourdough and that they had had something from their grandparents and it was like 90 years old. And I was like, can't be 90 years old. But now, you know, you learn something new every day.
- [38:53]
Bobby Bones
That's terrifying. By the way, on ebay you can buy a 100 year old starter for like 12 bucks.
- [38:57]
Amy
But is it authenticated?
- [38:59]
Bobby Bones
I don't know, dude. I don't know if they send it to PSA to authenticate.
- [39:02]
F
There's no way to prove it. It's like when someone says a random fact, like, yeah, there's actually 4 billion different kinds of beetles. I can't check that.
- [39:07]
Bobby Bones
Beetles. Yeah.
- [39:09]
F
Like, how am I supposed to know? That's not like. I feel like you're lying to me.
- [39:12]
Jon Stewart
I feel like it creates a lot of work though. She's always doing something with it. You know what I mean? It's amazing. I love it. The discard. You make the crackers. It's a whole.
- [39:19]
Bobby Bones
You spend an hour doing coffee every morning. You're not going to hate on how long it takes her to. That's really. That's true.
- [39:22]
Amy
And if she's using the discard to make crackers or cookies or whatever, that's being resourceful.
- [39:26]
Jon Stewart
100%. 100%.
- [39:28]
Bobby Bones
Okay. Dan and Shay are here. They do music, everybody, which is cool. They do music. Yeah.
- [39:31]
F
That's not why we're here today. We'd like to talk to you about Sourdough.
- [39:35]
Bobby Bones
So first let's. We're going to play Bigger Houses. About to be number one. Congratulations again. Next one up. It almost feels like the Alabama football program. Next one up. Next one up, another five star.
- [39:47]
Jon Stewart
Which Alabama football program are we talking about?
- [39:49]
Bobby Bones
Listen, you know, historical or Georgia or whomever. Give me the story of Bigger House. It's like, tell me something personal about it and then we'll play it and come back.
- [39:57]
Jon Stewart
Well, pre Sourdough obsession. I love my wife. I love you, Abby. She's probably listening right now. The sourdough is amazing, by the way. Okay, so this song came about. We had kind of finished up this album. You know, we were super proud of it. We were writing, we were trying to figure out what the title of the album was. Always say this. This is how Speechless came about. At the 11th hour, you think you're done, you turn it in. It's like, well, we still don't have a title. So we kept, you know, we kept writing songs. We went in to write that day and our buddy Andy Albert, I gotta give a shout out To Andy Albert. We've probably shouted him out on the show a million times. I moved to Nashville with Andy in 2010. We were struggling. Camping out behind Little Caesars, eating the pizza out of the dumpster, doing the thing, sneaking into the continental breakfast at the Hampton Inn on West. Got all the stories. But he's just a great songwriter. A great friend was in my wedding, and we were writing that day, and he had just bought a new house, right? He's had a little bit of success, had a few number ones on country radio, and we've been struggling at it for 10 years, right? And he was like, man, I got this idea. And when Andy says he has an idea, he's honestly, I think he's the best songwriter in this town. And everybody's gonna realize that really, really soon. But when he has an idea, it's like, you listen. You know, it's gonna be good. He's like, I hope this isn't weird. But Abby was over the house. You know, him and his wife had just bought this new house. He just had a new kid, and he should have been so proud of this house. It's amazing. Like, he freaking paid for a house from writing country music songs like what we dreamed about since we moved to this town. And you know. You know how it is when somebody comes over your house, you're making apologies, oh, we're going to wallpaper this bathroom, or we're going to rip this tile out, or, you know, we're going to change the sink. And Abby stopped them and was like, guys like, you don't need to apologize for any of this stuff. This is amazing. You should be so proud of this house. You guys have worked so hard to get to this point in your life. Just enjoy it. I know we all get caught up in going on Redfin or Zillow and talking about bigger houses and what's next. And Andy stopped right there, and he wrote Bigger Houses in his phone. And I kind of get emotional talking about it, man. It's a special song to us. And he came into that session that day, and he kind of had the whole thing done. He said, I got this line, apologize if it's weird, but it came from Abby. And he said, the thing about. Thing about happiness I've found is that don't live in bigger houses. And at that point, song was done that. That hook right there says it all. The rest was just paint by numbers filling into blanks. And that's such a special song to us. You know, it's an. Honestly, an unconventional Song to take to country radio. Thank you guys for playing it. Thanks to all the stations that did. There's no drums in it. I don't know when the last time a song without drums got to this point on.
- [42:22]
Bobby Bones
I never noticed that. I've heard the song a ton. I never noticed there were no drums, which meant I never noticed it was lacking something.
- [42:28]
Jon Stewart
That's a good sign. And honestly, you. You identified this song. I sent you the album early, and this was one of your favorites. You hit me back on this. Save me the trouble. And there was maybe one other one, but this is one of your favorites. I have the text to prove it.
- [42:38]
Bobby Bones
This is all your favorite. There are a couple I hated. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
- [42:42]
Jon Stewart
Same with everybody else. But no, honestly, it's like for a song like this that means so much to us, that has meant a lot to our fans, to get to this point on the chart, to have an opportunity to go number one, is a testament to just the power of a great song. And that's. It reminds us why we got into this business, why we write country music, why we love country music, and. And honestly, I remember the day we decided to make it a single. We were sitting in la, we were filming the Voice, and we were talking about, you know, after Save Me the Trouble went number one, what's going to be the next single? What are we doing? Do we go up tempo?
- [43:09]
Ken Mears
Do we?
- [43:09]
Jon Stewart
It's summertime, and somebody, like, called into a radio station. There was a video of it, and it was a lady just talking. She was, like, almost in tears talking, you know, about her grandson. And he heard that song, and, you know, it was just this emotional story. And I was like, man, it's crazy how much people are connecting with this song. It's like, it would be crazy if that could be a single. And Shay's like, why can't it be a single? And I, we were hanging. We maybe had a few drinks or something up on that patio. And I think I filmed you saying it just like, this song, like, let's take a chance on it. You know what I mean? At this point in our career, got nothing to lose. Like, let's go with a song that means a lot to us. If it's meaning a lot to our fans. When the power of country radio gets behind it, it's gonna be a whole different thing. And, man, to see it at this point on the chart means a lot to us, to our families, to. To Andy, to our relationship to our friendship and I don't know, man, just a special song that'll, you know, always hold a special place in our hearts.

Or wherever you go to find your podcast, go on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Dan and Shay, you guys have been doing it for a long time, even though you're still very young. How do you not do the same thing again when you've had success doing it already? Because I feel like the easy thing would be, let's just do what we did last time. It was awesome. Because again, you could keep doing the exact same thing over and over and over and have massive success until you don't. But you guys haven't done that. How do you avoid that?
- [48:08]
F
I think a lot of times a solo act, it's harder for you to veer off and maybe try something new. Not to say that that's true for all solo acts, but I feel like for Dan and I, it's. It's a lot easier for us to really collaborate. You know, in those moments where we're writing the album and things, we're able to push each other to try. And you Know, kind of different. Not definitely, you know, we want to do the same kind of music. We always want to be Dan and Shea. You can't go off and just, you know, abandon what got you there in the first place. But I think that, you know, just, like, going with bigger houses as a single, you know, one of us can be like, hey, why not? Let's just do this. Let's do what we want to do and make sure that we're making the art that we want to make. And, I don't know, it just. It's kind of been that way throughout our career of just pushing each other, of, hey, let's just do what we want to do, you know, what we know our fans are going to love. And obviously, throughout the years, I think that you learn things, you know, you try things that you. You know, you push the boundaries a little bit. Sometimes it's like, all right, let's reel it back. You know, we don't go that way. Let's go in this direction. Let's go in this direction. And I think that, you know, once you have your identity, we know who, you know, we are, and we know who Dan and Shay, the, you know, the brand that we've built. And I think it's important to push the boundaries while also still, you know, not abandoning what got you there in the first place, which is, you know, that first album for us, there was a lot of our, you know, super fans that were still, you know, some of their favorite songs are on that very first album. And, you know, appropriately, you know, where it all began for us. And I don't know, I think it's. It's important to push those boundaries, but also not abandon what got you there to begin with. And that can be a tightrope that is hard to walk, but it's a lot easier when there's two of us to be like, hey, let's push this, or let's kind of roll this back. And I don't know, that's part of the fun, is kind of pushing the boundaries a little bit. You know, I think it's. We're able to do that and have the confidence to do that. Since there's two of us kind of being our own cheerleaders, let's play this game.
- [50:02]
Bobby Bones
What's something that maybe you were like, I don't know, but the other one. And I'd like an answer from both of you. The other one's like, I believe in it. And you're like, all right, fine. I don't know. That I do, but let's go and end up being a success. So what. What did you go? I don't. Because you told the story of bigger houses where Shay was like, why can't it be? I'm not gonna let that be an answer. But one, you're an advocate, and the other one's not, and the one who was not was wrong because it was successful.
- [50:26]
Jon Stewart
I wouldn't say I wasn't an advocate, but I. After Tequila, right, Biggest song of our career, trying to figure out what we go with next. And we had a song on that record called Keeping Score that was streaming like crazy. Kelly Clarkson was on it. You know, most famous, most incredible vocalists of all time. Like, the biggest get we could get as a feature. Getting to hear her sing a duet with Shay was unbelievable. That was kind of my vote for the next single. I was like, it could, you know, go number one at country crossover to hot ac, do the thing. Like, you know, because Tequila was crossing over at that time, and Shay was like, I. You know, Speechless, I think, is the one. Like, I think it's amazing. I love singing it. That was always his thing. If. If he loves singing it, that's always a good sign. He loves singing Tequila, loves singing Bigger houses, and he loves singing Speechless. And I love the song. I thought, you know, it could be a hit. But I was like, ah, you know, we. We got this Kelly Clarkson thing on here. How are we gonna leave this on the table? There was this show is in Rapid City, Iowa, or. No, I think it was Rapid City, Iowa. It was during our album release week. It was a crazy show. Brett Eldridge was on the show. I was wearing a crazy pink and green floral shirt. I remember it like it was yesterday. We went on stage. The song had been out for, like, three days, and we played Speechless, and somebody was on the side of the stage filming with their phone, and the crowd sang it like crazy. When that chorus hit, I looked over at Shay, I was like, it's a single. That's it. But he was super passionate about that song, and he was right.
- [51:44]
Bobby Bones
Good. That's a good story.
- [51:45]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [51:46]
Bobby Bones
Like, that's the kind of stuff we have them here for. That's a good one. All right, Shay. No, that's a good story. Shay, you do one.
- [51:51]
F
Okay, well, there's a song called Tequila. No. Oh, man. I don't know.
- [51:55]
Bobby Bones
I mean, there's like, how was Dan so right? And maybe you weren't wrong. Cause again, keep it War is an awesome song. I loved it too. And that would have Been a hit. But I think you made the right decision because Speechless is what you guys will be known for.
- [52:05]
Jon Stewart
All Timer, I think it's in our top three in our catalog. It's a special song. It's not timestamped by a moment in time. That song could have came out in the 70s. That song could come out today, and I feel like it would still sound fresh.
- [52:16]
Bobby Bones
So you. You tell me, when were you not right?
- [52:19]
F
Oh, man, I've never been wrong, Bobby.
- [52:22]
Bobby Bones
It's crazy. All right, back after this.
- [52:25]
F
Thank you guys for coming. I mean, there's been some situations like Speechless was like. I usually. I try to sit back and take the collective of the groove. We have such a great team, and Dan and I are usually on the same page about everything. I mean, even Speechless, he was not against the song ever. But there's been moments where I've been like, this has got to be the single. We've got to do this. I felt that way about Tequila, as did Dan, but I felt that way about Tequila as well. And I remember there was a lot of people not to throw our label and everybody under the bus, but it was like that with Tequila. You know, we had pushed a song called Road Trippin that was. That was definitely. It was definitely a hit. So don't look at.
- [53:03]
Jon Stewart
It's Eddie's favorite, showing that tattoo.
- [53:07]
F
But it was like that Dan and I were very much. I was like. Because Dan had written the song, and from the very first time I heard that demo, I was like, we're going in there and we're recording the song.
- [53:17]
Bobby Bones
Which one?
- [53:18]
F
It's Tequila.
- [53:18]
Bobby Bones
Got it.
- [53:19]
F
And I remember being in London and our, you know, a lot of people, you know, around. Around the label were like that. We can't. You know, we just, you know, had this song. It wasn't necessarily a failure. Like, our fans loved Road Tripping, but it was like it was gonna take a long time to. To push the song to number one. And we were kind of getting into. It was wintertime, you know, we had the Christmas break coming up, and I was just like, we. We've got to push this song. Like, this song is this. Is it. Like, I felt as strongly about the Tequila as I did Speechless. Those songs were like, but you're talking.
- [53:47]
Bobby Bones
About how right you are again. You've turned this into how shit is right.
- [53:49]
F
You know, that's what the segment's called, is it not?
- [53:52]
Amy
No.
- [53:52]
Bobby Bones
You're supposed to be wrong in your part.
- [53:54]
F
I'm trying to think of something.
- [53:57]
Amy
Well, that does make Me curious why they didn't. Why were they wrong? Like, why. Why were they not on board?
- [54:03]
Bobby Bones
Well, that's easy.
- [54:06]
Amy
But I wondered if they gave you that reason of, like, yeah, because it's winter and like tequila or. I have no idea.
- [54:11]
Jon Stewart
No, maybe it's too much inside baseball. But yeah, that factors into it. The seasonal thing. Is it winter? Is it. You know, and at radio you always want to have tempo. Like tempo, I feel like always gives you the best shot. But if you look at it historically, sometimes the ballads are the biggest risk, but they have the biggest reward, like for. In our career. From the ground up. Speechless Tequila. Those are all, you know, what people would say. Ballads. I don't know. We could come out with 120bpm song. There's going to be somebody out there.
- [54:35]
Bobby Bones
Still says it's a ballet.
- [54:36]
Jon Stewart
Ah, we can't get to it this week. You know, we've got too many ballads. I'm like, this song is punk rock song.
- [54:41]
Bobby Bones
We have, man. Well, everybody. Shay, perfect.
- [54:45]
F
You should ask Dan because you think I can't. I'm trying to think of. I usually listen to Dan. Here's the reason I haven't been, you know, wrong with singles, because I. I trust him implicitly. And, you know, most of the singles, it's. We're like right there. And so I really should say, Dan and I have never been wrong. You know what I mean?
- [55:03]
Jon Stewart
Except road tripping.
- [55:07]
Bobby Bones
On the Bobby Bones Show.
- [55:08]
Jon Stewart
Now, Dan and Shay, when we do.
- [55:11]
Bobby Bones
Our podcast, we can't put any music in the podcast because now if you put something on demand in a podcast, it's illegal. It makes total sense. But we can't put even a clip of a song in a podcast now unless it is a public domain song. So public domain would be songs that are like 100 years old and without.
- [55:26]
F
Further ado, this is Happy birthday.
- [55:28]
Bobby Bones
That's exactly it. Right? So I have a few. Because we have a really large podcast audience, like millions and millions.
- [55:36]
Jon Stewart
I listen to every episode.
- [55:37]
Bobby Bones
You're lying. But thank you very much. I swear I do. I watch you in your window. So here's the. The thing.
- [55:41]
Jon Stewart
Cooking sourdough.
- [55:42]
Bobby Bones
I will give you. Shay. If I give you a public domain song for our podcast listeners, radio's gonna hear this too. Would you mind? I don't know if you're loose or not.
- [55:51]
F
I'll give him a little something.
- [55:52]
Bobby Bones
Thank you very much.
- [55:52]
F
I'll give him a little something.
- [55:53]
Bobby Bones
Would you? How about a little hush little baby? Public domain can be sang for free.
- [55:59]
F
Oh, nice.
- [55:59]
Bobby Bones
Yes. Would you mind giving us 15, 22nd? Hush little baby. Oh, he's standing.
- [56:02]
F
Bobby, I've been waiting my whole life for this. I actually. I was practicing this this morning. Okay, go ahead.
- [56:06]
Jon Stewart
He's gonna perform it to me as.
- [56:07]
F
Well, which, you know, I'm trying to make sure I know the words. This. I might screw this up.
- [56:13]
Bobby Bones
I don't know. All right.
- [56:14]
F
Hush little baby, don't say a word Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird and if that mockingbird don't sing, that's all right, because Dana Shay is here to.
- [56:29]
Bobby Bones
Do it for you, baby. There you go. We like that. Thank you. Guys, hold on. We have two more. Bingo. B I N G O as done by Shea. Public domain.
- [56:39]
Jon Stewart
Yeah. Okay.
- [56:40]
F
This is Bi ngo Bi N G O. B I N G O was his name.
- [56:55]
Bobby Bones
Oh, all right.
- [56:58]
Amy
I think that's your. That's your next single.
- [57:00]
Bobby Bones
Sorry. Yeah, it is. Actually, you know, our last freebie, A song we can do for free. Mary Had a Little Lamb, as done by Dan and Shea. All right.
- [57:09]
F
Okay. I feel like this is kind of the rendition of, like, our Silent Night. You know what I mean?
- [57:13]
Jon Stewart
Honestly, though, Mary Had a Little Lamb, like, it's not too far off from Danisha's sound. You know, throwing back is like the savage garden of country to the OG.
- [57:20]
Bobby Bones
I haven't said that in 15 years. Give me a break. Give me a break.
- [57:23]
Jon Stewart
You're pretty good.
- [57:24]
Bobby Bones
I love Savage Garden. Give me a break.
- [57:26]
Ken Mears
Come on.
- [57:26]
F
All right, let's see here.
- [57:28]
Bobby Bones
Mary.
- [57:33]
Jon Stewart
You started too high.
- [57:36]
Bobby Bones
All right, here we go.
- [57:38]
F
Mary had.
- [57:40]
Bobby Bones
Dang.
- [57:40]
F
This is harder than I thought it was gonna be. Mary had a little lamb. What's the rest of the word?
- [57:50]
Eddie
Little lamb.
- [57:52]
Bobby Bones
Mary had a little.
- [57:53]
F
Oh, that's. I was doing the wrong. I was doing the wrong melody.
- [57:55]
Bobby Bones
What were you doing?
- [57:55]
F
I don't know. Mary had a little lamb. Little lamb.
- [58:04]
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, not everybody.
- [58:06]
F
Mary had a little lamb Whose work coat was white as snow. Everybody now. Mary had a little lamb.
- [58:16]
Amy
Bobby.
- [58:18]
F
Horrible little lamb. Mary had a little lamb. Who.
- [58:29]
Bobby Bones
Snow that? Dan and Shay. Come on. That's for the podcast listeners.
- [58:35]
F
Thank you guys so much.
- [58:36]
Bobby Bones
I wonder what you were doing.
- [58:37]
F
At first, I don't know, but I.
- [58:39]
Bobby Bones
It was.
- [58:39]
F
It sounded familiar, didn't it?
- [58:40]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like, I was like, is he doing Row, row, row your boat? I didn't know what it was, but it was something. You run a pocket.
- [58:45]
F
I'll tell you this. It was another public domain song that.
- [58:49]
Jon Stewart
Hasn'T been written yet.
- [58:49]
F
You know, I checked back in 200 years, I'm thinking, you know, Dan and I have been having a discussion about this for. Our next album is going to be all public domain songs. Actually, there's not enough of them.
- [58:58]
Bobby Bones
I mean, Christmas songs. And you guys are smart because you do originals, but also you can record the classics for free.
- [59:03]
Jon Stewart
It's unbelievable.
- [59:04]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
- [59:04]
Jon Stewart
It's great.
- [59:05]
Bobby Bones
And make the money.
- [59:05]
Amy
Weren't you doing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star?
- [59:07]
F
That's what it was, Amy.
- [59:08]
Amy
Yeah.
- [59:08]
Eddie
Twinkle, twinkle.
- [59:09]
Bobby Bones
Now we're singing Barry had a Little Lamb.
- [59:12]
Jon Stewart
Morgan Wallen had an interpolation of Twinkle.
- [59:14]
Bobby Bones
Twinkle Had a Little Star on his album.
- [59:15]
Amy
He did?
- [59:16]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [59:16]
Jon Stewart
Neon star, written by Ernest. It's sick.
- [59:19]
Bobby Bones
How does Twinkle go, though?
- [59:21]
F
Twinkle, twinkle. Let me sing it for you, Bobby. Twinkle, Twinkle little star.
- [59:27]
Bobby Bones
Got it.
- [59:28]
F
How I wonder what you are up above the neon signs.
- [59:38]
Amy
Is it. It's Twinkle, twinkle, a Little Star. Public domain.
- [59:40]
Bobby Bones
It is. Sure is.
- [59:42]
F
Bing, bang, boom.
- [59:43]
Bobby Bones
They kick the door in right now and arrest Dan, and you must pay. What do you guys do? Are you. You going on the road? What's up? We doing. You doing shows this year? What's the deal? What's the deal up?
- [59:53]
Jon Stewart
We're in the studio making new music, so.
- [59:55]
Bobby Bones
Okay, so right now, no, we're not doing shows.
- [59:58]
Jon Stewart
Chilling on shows for a minute. We played a lot of shows last year.
- [60:00]
Bobby Bones
We just.
- [60:00]
Jon Stewart
Dude, arenas, amphitheaters, did the whole thing. We're in the studio, man. We're. I always say this, but I feel like we owe it to radio. We owe it to our fans to really focus and make the best album that we can.
- [60:11]
Bobby Bones
So.
- [60:12]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [60:12]
Bobby Bones
What's that mean? In the studio?
- [60:14]
Jon Stewart
My house?
- [60:14]
Bobby Bones
Like, literally, like, what does it mean? You go, right, like, you're recording the stuff you've already written, you're demoing.
- [60:21]
Jon Stewart
That's a good question. Because I feel like usually when you say you're in the studio, it's like we're going ocean way. We've got three days booked. We've got triples. We've got the session players booked. We're kind of just writing right now, figuring out what the next thing is going to be in the studio, like, properly in the studio soon.
- [60:36]
Bobby Bones
Not fakely.
- [60:37]
Jon Stewart
Not fakely. Shane's got a baby on the way, too.
- [60:39]
Bobby Bones
Another one.
- [60:39]
F
Dude got another baby. I've been trying to figure out. Well, there I was, singing some public domain songs in my bedroom.
- [60:46]
Jon Stewart
That's how it always goes.
- [60:47]
F
And that's how it started. You know, my wife, she's a big public domain.
- [60:50]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [60:50]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [60:51]
F
She's a big public Domain fan.
- [60:52]
Bobby Bones
You ever seen them on tour? Public Domain. They rock. Yeah, they're great rock. Our new band, guys, congratulations again. It's really cool to just watch the sustained success as it does and as your sound does. It's never the same, but you still remain. Dan and Shay, like, there's a consistency about it, but it's like you guys are always growing. Even this record, there was much more. It felt like instrumentation that you could actually identify. I felt like that. So I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. We love you guys. You guys can follow Anandshay. We'll play bigger houses a hundred times and you don't need our help. But, you know, why not?
- [61:29]

- [69:18]
Bobby Bones
There's cookies because they're the files. I think she's having a seizure, guys.
- [69:26]
Jon Stewart
Your answer is cookies.
- [69:27]
Bobby Bones
The answer is cookies. One of the bigger stories for today is that Biden has announced he will not enforce the TikTok ban. So big news. Late last night, this morning, so President Joe Biden won't enforce a ban. This is from AP News on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, leaving its fate to the president elect Donald Trump. Congress last year in a law signed by Biden, required that TikTok's China based parent company ByteDance divest the company. And Trump also called to ban the app at one point too. So everybody was in on it and now Trump wants to keep it. I even saw, like, the head of TikTok's gonna be at the inauguration with Trump.
- [70:12]
Amy
Huh?
- [70:14]
Eddie
Is it a Chinese guy?
- [70:15]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, dude. Yeah. I never really thought it was a threat that it would be gone, but I don't know everything, it just. It would be politically a very bad move for anybody to get rid of what we love now. Politically bad move doesn't mean it's wrong.
- [70:31]
Amy
Right?
- [70:32]
Bobby Bones
Because there have been a lot of politically bad moves that we're thankful for and some that happened and we wish didn't, but. But we're good for now.
- [70:40]
Eddie
Man, I love my Tick Tock.
- [70:42]
Bobby Bones
All my guys, all my Chinese spies that talk to me now, they gotta. Hopefully they reach out and they're like, hey, we're gonna extend this for a little bit.
- [70:47]
Eddie
Yeah, good.
- [70:48]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So we talked about it. The Tick Tock CEO, according to Forbes, will reportedly attend Trump's inauguration. As the band looms is like, it's not going anywhere. All those people that got on that new one, though, that's crazy.
- [71:00]
Eddie
Red dot.
- [71:00]
Bobby Bones
What's called Red zone, red card, red note.
- [71:05]
Eddie
So we danced all around it.
- [71:09]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's gonna take away my excuse, though, for being on TikTok all night. Cause I'll just be in the bed flipping, and she'd be like, are you gonna go to bed? I'm like, I gotta get it while I can.
- [71:17]
Eddie
Right?
- [71:18]
Bobby Bones
It's like. It's like somebody dying and you're like, I wanna spend all the time with them I can before they go away.
- [71:21]
Eddie
Cause you know how much time they have left.
- [71:22]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's like, I don't have a lot of time. I need to do the things I love doing. I did read too, that Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, you know, he's trying to buy it and that's been out for a couple days. This morning they acted like that was really close. I know Mr. Beast has said he's trying to be a part of buying it.
- [71:39]
Eddie
So how much would that be?
- [71:41]
Bobby Bones
20 billion, I think for TikTok.
- [71:44]
Eddie
And Mr. Wonderful would have to, like, have partners and stuff, Right?
- [71:47]
Bobby Bones
I think he's worth 50 billion. Again, I'm just saying words at this point. Everything that I say needs to be fact checked.
- [71:54]
Eddie
Dang, that's crazy.
- [71:55]
Bobby Bones
But from things that I've read, Kevin O. Leary's net worth. And I'm getting these things are so wrong, though, because there's no way he's only worth $400 million.
- [72:05]
Eddie
Oh, net worth.
- [72:06]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I heard on one of these news stations he was worth billions. But who cares? He's gonna get the money to do it, okay? Or he's trying to. But they have to also allow it as well, because Elon Musk wanted to buy it. Dude, he could buy it with the money in his wallet.
- [72:24]
Eddie
That's crazy.
- [72:25]
Bobby Bones
Bezos could buy it. Warren Buffett could easily buy it. But. Yeah, what's the. What's the price they say TikTok's worth? No, it's way worth way more than that. But it could go as much as 50 billion, I think possibly. Kevin O'Leary said he had 20 billion. Oh, there is a shot, but without. Yeah, here it is. Oh, thank God I'm right on something. A consortium of business people, including billionaire Frank McCourt and O'Leary Ventures. Kevin O'Leary have previously said they'd be willing to pay up to 20 billion for TikTok. And not only that, Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful, saying, we'll buy it without the algorithm because ByteDance China, they're not selling the algorithm if they sell everything else. They're not. There is no chance it will die before they give up the algorithm.
- [73:16]
Amy
But it comes with it. They just don't.
- [73:17]
Eddie
No, no, it doesn't.
- [73:18]
Amy
Oh, it's. But they just don't. I thought they. It comes with it, but they don't tell you how to.
- [73:23]
Bobby Bones
Like buying a KFC and, like, you get to make the chicken, but you don't get another resident chicken in the bucket.
- [73:27]
Amy
Exactly.
- [73:28]
Eddie
I don't think so, because.
- [73:30]
Amy
But then. Well, isn't that going to change?
- [73:33]
Eddie
Sure, it could change, but would we even really notice it?
- [73:36]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because if you replicate it, there.
- [73:38]
Amy
Must be something celebrated.
- [73:39]
Bobby Bones
If you could replicate it close enough, people would do it. It would be the same algorithm on another app.
- [73:43]
Eddie
Wow.
- [73:44]
Amy
Y'all are going to be on it and you're going to be like, why the heck isn't feeding me what I want?
- [73:48]
Bobby Bones
Instagram reel sucks. Here's why. Instagram reel suc. And you're like, well, why aren't people just going Instagram reels? If I'm like, I want to go watch again. I watch 90s wrestling on my TikTok on Instagram reels. If I go over and I watch a 90s wrestling clip, I'm going to get flip. 90s wrestling. 90s wrestling. 90s Wrestling. 90s Wrestling. 90s wrestling ad. 90s. Now if I'm on TikTok and I watch a 90s Wrestling clip, I'm going to get 90s Wrestling. A scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that makes me laugh. I'm going to get something from the Chicago Cubs recently. I'm gonna get raised. Oh, another 90s wrestling clip speech about something happening in the Middle east from a professor that makes me learn. Oh, he's not the clip by 90s. So it's all like, they know how to Instagram reels. Is like, you watch that, here's 11 more in a row.
- [74:32]
Eddie
Could it be because in the rules here in America, like the law of privacy laws, where you can't. They can't like really look into everything that you are into. You know how that's so protected? Like privacy laws and software or whatever.
- [74:45]
Bobby Bones
Since when's it protected?
- [74:47]
Eddie
Well, people get busted all the time. Are like, did you like, there's a lawsuit? They Facebook didn't do this for these five years. They were invading your privacy listings.
- [74:54]
Bobby Bones
Like Cambridge Analytica type stuff like Siri's listened.
- [74:57]
Eddie
You like that kind of stuff.
- [74:58]
Amy
My phone's going off. Sorry, siri.
- [75:00]
Eddie
But in TikTok there are no rules. Right. Because it's China and like, they can just.
- [75:04]
Bobby Bones
Well, but we're not in China. There are no ways following the rules on that. They have all. Yeah, I was following rules.
- [75:11]
Eddie
I just feel like we can.
- [75:12]
Bobby Bones
They'll take the loss. They'll. If they get caught, they'll take the loss because they're worth so much. Like Apple does have to pay something, some crazy number to like everybody. And in the end everybody gets like a nickel.
- [75:25]
Eddie
Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.
- [75:26]
Bobby Bones
So people don't even get involved in the lawsuits. But yeah, there are like theoretically laws about information, but you don't think you're saying a word. And not just the ads that we get on everything, but there's something about TikTok that by putting that in your phone, it's more sensitive than anything else. And probably not in a way that's great, but to me, it's not even about the information that you're giving up. And I'm not fearful of like the digital. They have my information mostly gives me ads to stuff I want to buy.
- [75:56]
Eddie
They know exactly what you want.
- [75:57]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I'm not up to something, but it's the ability to take content and either create division within a group that is your adversary because we're adversaries with China division. Or dumber.
- [76:18]
Eddie
Yeah, definitely feel dumber.
- [76:22]
Bobby Bones
Like after dumb down the culture, like imagine 20 years of this and Americans reading has gone down 30% and we already are not scoring well. Like our test scores are not as good. So. But that's like a long term play and that's what we're doing. Country v. Country long term plays. Like, let's just make them dumber so we can dominate them in two decades. So that's a part of it. And I'm sure there are elements of it that I have no idea. But there's.
- [76:50]
Amy
Why don't we fight back and ask for just like the educational stuff?
- [76:54]
Eddie
Yeah, like what you got STEM video.
- [76:56]
Bobby Bones
It's on there. You can watch.
- [76:57]
Eddie
Right.
- [76:57]
Bobby Bones
So let's all, let's all like, you know what that's like, let's fight back and I'll just read books.
- [77:01]
Ken Mears
Yeah, we'll study.
- [77:02]
Bobby Bones
You won't though, because you have the.
- [77:04]
Amy
I get it. We don't want our government to control us that way. But like, why don't they like counter it and try to make sure we.
- [77:10]
Bobby Bones
Don'T even pay our teachers? So it's a, it's a, it's a societal problem. Like we don't value our teachers to pay them a wage that makes the best and brightest out of college. Or at least a lot of them go, I want to go be a third grade teacher. And there are very bright third grade teachers. But it's not that everybody finishes. People go on like, I want to be a friggin CEO. I want to make money. And if your goal is to make money, you don't go be a teacher. If your goal is like to change the world, hopefully you do that. But it's why nonprofits could, should and do pay a ton of money to great CEOs. And they should. Otherwise you're going to have nobody that wants you have nobody with any sort of competitive bone or somebody that wants to be successful with making money building inside of a corporation, go and run nonprofits. It's always weird to me, people get mad that they pay somebody running a wonderfully run nonprofit a ton of money. It blows my mind that people get mad because it takes five seconds to figure it out. If you pay somebody nothing to run a nonprofit because you're like, it's a nonprofit, you pay them nothing. And let's say they do $700 over the year, but you pay them nothing, that's plus $700. Good job. Let's say you pay somebody 5 million to run a nonprofit and it makes $31 million. Well, you're plus 26 million. Dollars now. So you can either pay somebody nothing and not have outrage on the Internet, and you're plus 700 bucks, and that nonprofit doesn't get to do near as much good work. Or you can go and poach somebody from a Coca Cola, an Apple and pay them $5 million and be. I can't believe you're paying somebody $5 million. Run a nonprofit. It's supposed to be a nonprofit. Do you actually care about what the organization does? Because if you get one of the biggest, best, brightest minds, the money that you pay them is going to be nothing compared to what they make and their value.
- [79:12]
Eddie
Yeah. And how they grow the organization.
- [79:15]
Bobby Bones
It's like athletes or actors that's celebrated in our society, Great ones. And you're like, how does an athlete make $15 million? It doesn't really matter what profession you're in. If you make your company more money than they're paying you, that's a win for the company. So it doesn't matter if you're worth $200 million. If you can generate that revenue, then there's going to be a bidding war for your services at about 140 million, 160 million, maybe even over 200 if they think you'll grow in value over the next few years. But TikTok is all good. Stay on it.
- [79:57]
Eddie
Enjoy life.
- [79:59]
Bobby Bones
Can't root for China in the Olympics, though. I'll be honest with you. Nah, never gonna be. No way whatsoever. I'm not gonna be on that. So that's what's up. That's the news of this morning that it shouldn't. I was gonna say that matters. It matters to me.
- [80:11]
Eddie
Oh, yeah, man. Love TikTok.
- [80:13]
Bobby Bones
Me too, man.
- [80:15]
Eddie
Like, I love that people get to be funny and I get to see how funny people are.
- [80:19]
Bobby Bones
It's the funniest social media ever, and there's corners of everything. So I will. I bought dude wipes off of it the other day.
- [80:25]
Amy
Dude wipes, like, wipe wipes, then you already have those. You just made it easy. TikTok Shop makes it easy.
- [80:32]
Bobby Bones
I had some a long time ago, but I bought, like, a year's supply for, like, 15 bucks.
- [80:36]
Amy
Just wipes a year's supply?
- [80:37]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [80:38]
Amy
Wow.
- [80:38]
Bobby Bones
They come in a big, huge box, and they get the kids. Like, I can't believe I got these 15 bucks. It's in my algorithm, I'm sure. But I bought, like, a bunch of dude wipes off there, and they came to the house. Yeah, but they're like, dude wipe. But they're, like, already kind of Wet. And they get a little pack. Yeah, it's like toilet paper.
- [80:52]
Eddie
Oh, okay.
- [80:52]
Bobby Bones
But what, for your butt?
- [80:54]
Eddie
No, that's perfect.
- [80:54]
Bobby Bones
It's great, dude. It's like a wet wipe, but they just put dude on it. So dudes will go, like, that's for me, right? It's just a wife.
- [80:59]
Eddie
Yeah, I got it.
- [81:00]
Bobby Bones
Anyway, that's the news. Thank you. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead story of the day.
- [81:06]
Ken Mears
This story comes to us from Highland Park, Michigan. A man walked into a Dollar General and went to the Hot Pocket and said, I'll take some of those. Start shoving them in his pockets in his coat. And the employee goes, hey, you can't steal those. And he goes, I got a gun. I'll blow your head off if you say anything.
- [81:23]
Bobby Bones
And he left a lot for a Hot Pocket.
- [81:25]
Amy
Yeah.
- [81:26]
Bobby Bones
You know, maybe if anything, it's like, I have a club or a base or even a knife, because you want to go gun. That's. That's a whole different level.
- [81:35]
Ken Mears
He called police. He was like, hey, I think the guy works at a store a couple doors down in the shopping center. And they went in the break room. Guy was eating Hot Pockets.
- [81:43]
Bobby Bones
Of course he was. What else? You really shouldn't say anything, but I just wouldn't go, gun.
- [81:48]
Amy
Yeah, or blow your head off. Because what if it's like, you know, I'm gonna shoot your pinky toe?
- [81:52]
Bobby Bones
Or you can do like the mob does and be like, maybe I will. Maybe I won't do something bad to you if you stop me.
- [81:57]
Amy
Oh, leave it.
- [81:58]
Bobby Bones
Just so choice is yours. Well, no, not yours. You gotta keep it away. That's like, mob. You're really doing anything. Okay, okay, okay.
- [82:06]
Ken Mears
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
- [82:08]
Bobby Bones
Bones the Bobby bonus. Our listeners know us pretty well. They listen to a lot of the show. They know things we'll like. Amy found. I guess somebody found it for you.
- [82:18]
Amy
Yeah, Carla, for example. She's a listener. She pitched a little segment idea for us, and it has to do with Pablo Escobar's private jet. So you can now stay in it. Like, as in, like, an Airbnb. You can spend the night with you and your friends. It's a. It's a 727. The original leather seats. Are there a gold toilet?
- [82:40]
Bobby Bones
Like, where is it in Mexico?
- [82:42]
Amy
You and three of your associates?
- [82:44]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Central America.
- [82:45]
Amy
For whatever reason, it's grounded in the uk. Maybe Pablo flew it over there and it got stuck, couldn't bring it back.
- [82:51]
Bobby Bones
Or he sold it at Some point too.
- [82:53]
Amy
Oh, true.
- [82:53]
Bobby Bones
It could be Pablo's old plane. Yeah. But also, it's like we're glamorizing really bad people.
- [82:58]
Amy
Oh, yeah.
- [82:59]
Bobby Bones
I'm guilty of it too.
- [82:59]
Amy
It's horrible. I'm not.
- [83:00]
Bobby Bones
I mean, I'm not shaming anybody because I will watch a documentary and we'll talk about it here. It's crazy with time how we glamorize really awful people who did really awful things.
- [83:11]
Amy
Awful. Yeah. No, I don't like him at all as a person.
- [83:15]
Bobby Bones
But you're obsessed with cartel.
- [83:17]
Amy
I am intrigued. When there's documentaries or shows, I watch them all.
- [83:23]
Bobby Bones
Yes. And again, not shaming, because we all have this version. It feels fictional is why. Because either it's separated through so much time, or it's not at all how we think. So it's like a zoo animal, the situation.
- [83:37]
Amy
Yes. It's just fascinating.
- [83:38]
Bobby Bones
You're like, people would actually think that. Do that, live that hurt. Like, that's. It's crazy. So would you stay in Pablo Escobar's airplane? Because there's a. It looks like a massive tour bus.
- [83:49]
Ken Mears
It looks awesome. It doesn't have wings anymore, just so you know.
- [83:52]
Amy
It's a wingless 727. Forgot that part.
- [83:54]
Eddie
Okay.
- [83:55]
Bobby Bones
But it doesn't matter because you're not gonna do anything with wings anyway.
- [83:57]
Amy
Yeah, you're not taking off. But he had a golden. A toilet.
- [84:00]
Eddie
They had a lot of money.
- [84:01]
Bobby Bones
Remember that? There was so much money that the rats every month would eat millions of dollars because it was just so much.
- [84:09]
Eddie
There was one time when he was on the run and it was really cold. He just burned money to stay warm.
- [84:14]
Bobby Bones
There's money that is unbelievable in fields all through Central America where they would bury it and, like, farmers now still find it. So probably not all found at this point.
- [84:25]
Eddie
Yeah.
- [84:26]
Amy
Would you say when you think about, like, the blood on that money, I'd.
- [84:29]
Ken Mears
Take the money or the.
- [84:30]
Amy
No, I don't want anything to do with that money. And no, I'm not going to stay there.
- [84:33]
Bobby Bones
Due to the legal nature, Escobar couldn't deposit money in his banks, so they would just have to buy warehouses to store the cash.
- [84:41]
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I like the idea, Carla, but yes, to Bobby's point, if it just feels icky to. I don't know who's making money off of it. If it's going to, you know, maybe like a drug organization to help.
- [84:54]
Ken Mears
It's businessman Johnny Palmer. He bought the plane.
- [84:57]
Bobby Bones
Pablo Escobar would spend 2,500 bucks per month back then, which is probably like 20,000 now per month on rubber bands just to wrap around the cash. Oh, that is unbelievable. So he's spending 2,500 bucks a month just on rubber bands? He had to buy that many rubber bands?
- [85:12]
Eddie
That's how much cash?
- [85:13]
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. The question is, if you were there, would you stay in it? Yes or no, Amy?
- [85:17]
Amy
No. I'd be too scared. Like something was gonna happen.
- [85:20]
Eddie
What's gonna happen?
- [85:21]
Bobby Bones
You think someone's gonna. That's probably the safest place in the world, yes. What, you think someone's gonna murder you in Pablo Escobar's plane? I bet that's the safest place to go.
- [85:27]
Amy
It's not his plane anymore.
- [85:29]
Bobby Bones
You wouldn't stay in it?
- [85:30]
Amy
I don't know.
- [85:31]
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox? Yeah. 100%.
- [85:32]
Ken Mears
That'd be so cool.
- [85:34]
Amy
What would be cool about it?
- [85:35]
Ken Mears
I mean, that's Pablo Escobar. Yes. I mean, it's weird. He was a drug kingpin, but what would be.
- [85:41]
Bobby Bones
No, literally, what would be cool about it to you?
- [85:42]
Amy
Yeah. Masterpiece.
- [85:43]
Ken Mears
It's a private jet.
- [85:44]
Bobby Bones
It's not anymore.
- [85:45]
Ken Mears
It used to be. And, I mean, it traveled all over the world, and it held so much money. And Pablo Escobar, who was a freaking bad dude.
- [85:54]
Eddie
I mean, in a good way.
- [85:56]
Bobby Bones
I'm not really hearing why it's cool yet.
- [85:57]
Amy
That's why. That's why I can't say it's cool.
- [85:59]
Bobby Bones
It's not.
- [86:00]
Amy
Yes, I'm fascinated, and I want to watch it, but I don't want to be. I don't want to be a part of anything that he was in. Like, if I feel like I was in there, the energy in there is just like, ugh.
- [86:09]
Bobby Bones
I think I would just rather be comfortable in a hotel. Would I go look in it? Probably, yeah. But I don't think I'd want to stay the night. Just for comfort reasons. Seasons. But, yeah, you can stay in that Airbnb.
- [86:17]
Amy
Isn't that crazy?
- [86:19]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's pretty wild. So cool. Johnny Palmer, businessman, said the jet was built in 1968 for Japan Airlines, and in 1981, it was converted from Pablo Escobar into the private jet.
- [86:31]
Eddie
Wow.
- [86:31]
Bobby Bones
I mean, it's legit. Don't get me wrong. That's your jet with a bed and all. It's awesome. I get freaked out thinking about flying over the ocean in, like, the 60s or the 50s. I don't like doing it now. But, like, getting in an airplane and flying over the ocean, then that's crazy. I didn't even know what they were doing. Well, nah, trust me, they don't think they know what they're doing. Now. I think pilots get in there like, what's happening? How do we do this every time? All right, that's it up on the podcast. Today, Morgan, Dan and Shay were on with us and you're gonna hear a song on the podcast. Yes, they were able to sing public domain songs and you can hear it on the podcast. All right, what else? We had a new season of Easy Trivia and a listener's husband is secretly ordering the Bobby Bones show theme song, written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry. You can find his Instagram eadyarberry Scuba Steve Executive Producer Raymundo Head of Production I'm Bobby Bones. My Instagram is Mr. Bobby Bones. Thank you for listening to the podcast.
