[Amy]

Guardians of the Galaxy.

[Bobby Bones]

Guardians of the Galaxy. It's the invisible. Anonymous inbox. Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm a die hard Seattle Seahawks fan. I've never been to a Super bowl, So I got two Super bowl tickets, $6,000 each. That's the price. I know. That's insane. My wife and I have been saving money for a summer vacation. The trip we've been planning. Looking forward to. She's practical and responsible, but this is a one time thing. I see it differently than her. This is a once in a lifetime moment. How do I convince my wife that this is worth it? Or is it one of those moments that I need to be a good husband? Signed a 12. Who's torn? That 12 is. They have the 12th man in Seattle just like you guys at Texas A and M. Yeah, that's a lot for a ticket. My first advice is going to be before Amy gives you real advice is is that I wouldn't spend that money on those tickets right now. They're going to come down. If you were going to go to the game, I would take the risk and go to the game and just get your hotel and let tickets come down closer to game time. They're going to be 3500 bucks or so closer to game time. So if you decide to do that, that's what I would suggest you do. Now he wants to do this instead of a vacation. Amy.

[Amy]

I mean, as the. As the wife, I'm not gonna get it. I'm just not.

[Bobby Bones]

It's her money too, though.

[Amy]

It's her money too. I get it. He said this is a once in a lifetime.

[Bobby Bones]

Possible they'll be good next year. But yeah, I think we say that when we really want to do something, as guys, we go this once in a lifetime thing if we really want to go. Even if it's not because there were times that Arkansas has been in like the Elite Eight. I'M like, just once in a lifetime to my wife. And we got back there the next year, sweet 16.

[Amy]

Like, I liked your advice, but even with that, you're not guaranteed to get the tickets at a lower price.

[Bobby Bones]

And still you're spending all the money that you're probably going to spend on your vacation anyway.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you're going to have to negotiate something with your wife. Like, you can pick the next three vacations.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. The trade off is not.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's not one. I agree.

[Amy]

So, yeah, that's what y' all could come to some sort of conclusion, which is like, yeah, you're just don't go. Or like, there are other things that y' all invest in that she really loves down the line that will be memorable for both of you. Because I would want you to have that experience. Like, if I love you and this is something you really want to do, then I think I could suck it up and make it happen.

[Bobby Bones]

If she really doesn't want you to have that experience and she doesn't want to spend all you guys vacation money on that.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a negotiation.

[Amy]

And then you also have to accept that this may not happen to where.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you can pick the next three vacations. Next five vacations. If we do this.

[Amy]

Five.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, fair. And also, if she doesn't want to do it, you don't get to do it because that's you guys money. So you're spending all of your money you have saved for a vacation on that trip. And yes, it's once in a lifetime. Possibly. But I don't think you can do it if she's not in and you have to take her. You can't take a buddy. You gotta take your wife.

[Amy]

Yeah, for sure. So you can't have that. Then there's just resentment, the whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

I would negotiate it five to one, see if that works.

[Amy]

And you could start with five to one. Maybe I'll settle on four.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe 10. You settle on 10. And then also you may have to find ways to make extra money to make it up for her. She's like, what, we don't get to go on a vacation this year? Well, what if I do this, this and this on the side to make up we go on a smaller one this year. Okay, that's a play too there. Yeah, you can make it happen. You just got to sacrifice a lot because you're asking her to sacrifice a lot.

[Amy]

A lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Because she doesn't want to go. Good luck. I hope you get to go. But I definitely would not buy tickets now. I would wait and buy tickets there because you'll get them much cheaper. All right. There you go. Close it up. I want everybody to think about their worst failure. And I'm gonna come to you. I've listed out what I think you should put up. But there's a new museum that is launching in Vancouver. It is the Personal Failure Museum where they have invited people to put up the idea of their biggest personal failures. Their tagline is failures wanted. It's a bit therapeutic. It. And you can also see other people so you don't feel so alone in yours.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's fun and so sounds fun. It is fun because we only see Instagram. It's like everybody's highlight reel. And you go through. Maybe you don't feel as stupid when you see other people failing too. T o O. So I can list you some. If I were to have an exhibit in the Failure Museum, what I would put up number one. Getting fined a million dollars by the fcc. I would put that up.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Big failure, big trouble. Not good for me. My mental health or financially. Not a great move. Once, as a captain of my high school football team, I made the wrong call in the coin toss and we had to kick off at the beginning of the game. And at halftime, that one still sits with me. Massive failure. Because Coach Gandalf said for one of the smartest kids I know, that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen coaching ever. He coached his whole life. That's a big failure. Amy, what would you put My marriage. I have marriage for you.

[Eddie]

Ding, ding, ding.

[Bobby Bones]

We have a match. Match game.

[Eddie]

My goodness.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, I didn't know you were going to go there, girl.

[Amy]

But it is like. I never thought that would happen.

[Bobby Bones]

All a failure. There were great things that came from it.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Absolutely. It's just something that I never thought would happen to us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So I have Amy's wedding picture up as the exhibit.

[Eddie]

That's it. That's perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

And then other people. Because a lot of people have not had it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The way they wanted.

[Eddie]

So many people would relate.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Eddie, I have to go with my hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

I have that eating 70 hot dogs in 24 hours.

[Eddie]

But I didn't. I got 21.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And threw up.

[Eddie]

So what's the picture of me throwing up?

[Bobby Bones]

You just eating a hot dog.

[Eddie]

That's terrible, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I have another one for you.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

I only had one for Amy because she's kind of crushed it.

[Lunchbox]

Let's see what else has Eddie Done.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What else did I fail?

[Eddie]

I mean, I completed my walk from West Virginia to Tennessee.

[Bobby Bones]

You did. We're not gonna list our wins here. This is the failure museum.

[Amy]

What about his failure to donate?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, failure to donate.

[Eddie]

Well, that's not in there. I never.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the not living up to museum more than the failure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

What do you have?

[Bobby Bones]

Getting $40,000 in debt.

[Eddie]

Oh, that was tough. I got out of it, but.

[Amy]

You got out.

[Eddie]

Thank God. But man, that was tough.

[Bobby Bones]

But you learned. You put up a credit card that you cut in half. Yep. You grew from that.

[Eddie]

And then we did a little snowball effect. Paid it off. But you know what? Getting in debt was pretty easy, I'll give you that.

[Bobby Bones]

But getting out of it wasn't.

[Eddie]

It was tough getting out of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

My biggest failure is going into a gas station and buying a pack of gum with pantyhose over my face. I would put that up. That was. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

That did not make it. Because I would have probably put that for me too. But that didn't make it. I have you becoming a contestant on Price is Right. Not. Oh, like going out.

[Eddie]

What happened there?

[Amy]

Hitting three.

[Eddie]

Three days. Gotta rented a tux.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't even think about that, man. Yeah, I try to wipe that from my memory.

[Bobby Bones]

And then another one. Is.

[Lunchbox]

That was tough, man. That's still. That still hurts.

[Eddie]

Hold on, there's another one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's two more.

[Lunchbox]

Two more.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Not getting the soccer in host job where you talk. Where you just talk in the stadium. They didn't think you were good enough for that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. After they sent me an email and said, would you be interested in this job? And I made videos and all this went there. I mean, I had to make a resume. Didn't even know how to do it. My wife had to do it for me. And then they were like, oh no, we decided to do it with someone that already works here. Like what? But yeah, that's bad.

[Bobby Bones]

The last one. Dang. It's another one. Well, it's not that you didn't graduate, cuz a lot people don't graduate, but you got to three hours. You just needed one more class to graduate college and you didn't. You didn't finish the one class.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they just call me Bill Gates.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't. Not a single person has ever called you Bill Gates. He dropped out to pursue a business.

[Lunchbox]

I dropped out to pursue a career.

[Amy]

No, you walked across the stage.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know.

[Amy]

Just like I did to get an Empty diploma, knowing we would complete the three hours eventually.

[Lunchbox]

Right. But I can't help it. Like, it's like the computer that Bill Gates had. He can't help that that fell in his lap at that moment. I can't help it that I found my passion in my career and school was not something I needed for that anymore. Like, that had done its time.

[Bobby Bones]

One of the exhibits at this thing is the wall of reject. It's covered in job applications. Oh. That are rejected firing notices. I mean, I was rejected by what, 32 stations before I ever got, like, a real job in radio.

[Eddie]

Wow. Put that up there, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, one. One woman put up her wedding dress for.

[Eddie]

For failure.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I was just going to put a picture. You got. I only got your wedding dress.

[Eddie]

I do have one more for lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

For him. I thought you could do it for yourself.

[Eddie]

No. And I was thinking about lunch boxes. I'd say the pallet was a failure. Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Did you make money?

[Eddie]

Did you sell all the items?

[Lunchbox]

No, but we made money. You made a profit, so it can't be a failure.

[Bobby Bones]

I would say my mental health cost me more than just, say, 40 bucks we made.

[Amy]

Eddie just failed to stop by bringing it up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Eddie just failed to show by. Yes, by hitting a wound.

[Lunchbox]

I got one.

[Eddie]

Ready?

[Lunchbox]

Eddie's chicken business.

[Bobby Bones]

Failure.

[Lunchbox]

Failure.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

It's time for the good news with Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. A California man who lost over $6,000 in cash had the money returned after a neighbor found it scattered in the front yard of a home in Nevada City. Authorities say the neighbor contacted the sheriff's office after just seeing cash in the front yard going, something ain't right. And then also they found some personal items that didn't belong to anyone at the residence. So deputies came over, gathered the personal items, gathered as much money as they could find, and they realized that the cash had fallen from an unsecured satchel during the man's walk home and that he was unable to locate it when he retraced his steps. The sheriff's office confirmed that most, if not all, the money was returned to the owner. That's from upi. So a couple things here that I'd like to mention. First of all, if you just see cash blowing across your front yard, do you call the cops?

[Amy]

I don't know that I call the cops, but maybe I collect it and see if someone's going to come get it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you call the cops once you find the personal belongings.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. For if you figure out who it is. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think if I find any, even if it's like jewelry, I think somebody got hit by a car and all their money blew away. Like, that's what I think. And then secondly, the guy's satchel was unsecured. You have $6,000 in a satchel. That's going to be the most secured satchel that I've ever had in the history of satchels. Like, I got both hands covering that thing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for the guy for calling the cops. That's great because this guy obviously didn't mean to lose that. And it's probably for like rent or paying for animals that need care. Yeah. Or orphans.

[Amy]

It's always something like that if you call the cops. So you could go drop it off at a police station if you have this stuff. Or you could keep it if it's just cash.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe hold it for 30 days. That's from UPI. That's what it's all about.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

That was. Tell me something good, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Friday and I got some good animal fun facts. I'm going to go first. Zebras injure zookeepers more than any other animal. It's mainly the reason they haven't been domesticated like horses or donkeys or anything else is because they are so aggressive. Really, zebras hurt more zookeepers than any other animal. That's my first animal Fun fact. Amy, go.

[Amy]

So the oldest known Valentine was written from prison.

[Bobby Bones]

Harvey, it's me, Big John Charles, the.

[Amy]

Duke of Orleans was imprisoned in the Tower of London when he was only 21 years old. And this was back in 1415 when he wrote a letter to his wife with a poem that he used to refer to her as his very gentle Valentine. And it's considered by many to be the first recorded valentine.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you imagine being in jail in the 1400s? Like right now it would suck. But in the 1400s they don't even know if you did it. And then you're in just like a rock room. Yeah, like nothing. Who knows? Yeah, there's nothing. Like there's no sort of. No DNA tests. You were just in jail in the 1400s.

[Amy]

Well, at least he's probably not guilty. Free him a pen and paper.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yes.

[Amy]

Or whatever he wrote it on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, probably like a quill. A quill and papyrus maybe to write on. Here's my second animal. Fun fact. Octopuses are the most intelligent creatures on the planet. You've probably heard this before, that octopuses are very smart. They are capable of solving complex puzzles. They're capable of using tools, escaping captivity, opening screw top jars.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes I'll show those on TikTok. It's wild. They rap and pull because they understand, like the threading.

[Eddie]

They know the lefty loosey, righty tighty.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if they say that saying exactly. They can stack rocks to protect themselves. Like they can build for protect. It's wild how smart octopuses are. It's why a lot of people think they might be aliens. They might be because some people say they're smarter than us, but they also die, like right after. Like they do it or something like that.

[Eddie]

No, I don't think that's them. I think that might be the seahorse or something.

[Bobby Bones]

I need to look that up. It could also be the seahorse. That's a good point. Lunchbox, what do you got?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. The founder of FedEx, his name was Fred Smith, and the company was down to $5,000 back in 1974. And he's like, man, I don't have enough to pay the bills. Walked into a Vegas casino, took that $5,000, sat down at a blackjack table, walked away with $27,000, enabling him to pay the bills for that week and secure future funding for the company.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

You've not heard that story.

[Eddie]

It's a great.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Yeah. I mean, it's. I mean, I don't know. Great. Because there probably been a thousand of those that didn't work out that way.

[Eddie]

They lost it.

[Lunchbox]

But how crazy is that? FedEx is alive because of blackjack and.

[Bobby Bones]

His son is the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.

[Eddie]

Really? Fred Smith's son, Arthur Smith.

[Bobby Bones]

He was the head coach of the Falcons. Was the OC for the Steelers. Yeah.

[Amy]

And octopus do die are octopuses. Males can only live for a few months after mating and females die shortly after their eggs hatch.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know why Letty talk me out of it, because I felt like, okay, I'm probably wrong.

[Amy]

Yeah, now you knew.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't.

[Amy]

You knew.

[Bobby Bones]

I knew. But then Eddie was like, I don't think that's true. And I was like, and I'm probably.

[Eddie]

Completely wrong about seahorses. So even Worse.

[Bobby Bones]

The octopuses are crazy. Do seahorses die after mating? No.

[Eddie]

Oh, see, I told you. Don't listen to me. I think the seahorses though, have one mate.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

Some die.

[Bobby Bones]

Dirt. Stop. You can't stop. No, stop. You're just modifying your argument about seahorses.

[Eddie]

I think they have one mate for life.

[Bobby Bones]

Lobsters. Lobsters.

[Eddie]

Do they do one made for life?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Lobsters.

[Amy]

No, I think we thought that, but then we looked it up and we realized that it's not. We think that because of friends. I found my lobster. Yeah, but I think they hook up with.

[Bobby Bones]

They practice a form of serial monogamy where a dominant male mates with multiple females.

[Eddie]

So the guy can do whatever he.

[Bobby Bones]

Wants, but the woman stays true to her man.

[Amy]

Okay. But also now I'm looking this up. And some die after, but some die during.

[Eddie]

These are octopuses.

[Bobby Bones]

What a way to go though.

[Amy]

Just different species.

[Bobby Bones]

What a way to go. Okay, I did mine, Amy did hers, Lunchbox did his. I'm gonna do one more animal one. There are only two species that engage in all out wars against fellow members of the same species. One is humans. What's the other wars? Just a war. We declare war on other versions of us.

[Eddie]

Oh, lions.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

Oh, monkeys.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Tarantula.

[Bobby Bones]

Closer.

[Eddie]

Ants.

[Bobby Bones]

Ants.

[Lunchbox]

We go to war.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Only humans and ants just go to war. Like straight up. Not about fighting about.

[Amy]

So is it territory?

[Bobby Bones]

It's just war.

[Amy]

Okay. This is our mound.

[Bobby Bones]

We're just going to war.

[Eddie]

Okay, I have an ant one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I have an amp. Fun fact.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Eddie]

So ants have a stronger and better smell than dogs do. And you ever wonder like you drop like a jolly rancher and ants are there in a second, you're like, how did they smell that? That's because their sense of smell is way better than a dog. And you think the dogs is the best?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're close to dogs is why we think that we can't really talk to ants.

[Eddie]

Nah, the ants are. It's a whole different other world.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I give you a fun fact about another ant? Aunt B on Andy Griffith Show.

[Eddie]

Oh, oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Aunt B. Yeah, yeah. This is a fun fact on Aunt B. Know Aunt Bee from Andy Griffith? Yeah. Aunt B was just a temporary character on the Andy Griffith Show. She was written as a short term stand in to help raise Opie, but audiences loved her so much she became a permanent part of the show.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

An aunt Bee. Fun fact. Okay, Eddie, that was yours, right?

[Amy]

An ant one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Okay, Morgan, All Right, so another species. There are more Lego minifigures than there are people on Earth. Plastic species.

[Eddie]

I mean, I have.

[Amy]

Yeah, they're plastic species.

[Eddie]

I mean, I have a million at my house, so I believe it.

[Bobby Bones]

And you've stepped on all of them.

[Eddie]

Oh, so many of them in the middle of the night.

[Bobby Bones]

We've done an ant fun fact. An ant bee fun fact. You want a bee fun fact? Yes, Rotating them. Here's your bee fun fact. Honey never spoils. Like, it never spoils. Archaeologists have found jars of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3000 year old years old and still perfectly edible.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but we're not putting that on our toast, right?

[Amy]

Like, no, I do. No, well, not that one. But I always go back to that. Whenever I have honey that I've had for a long time, I'm like, ah, it's fine. Apparently, it never expires.

[Eddie]

I have two jars of honey at home, right? And one of them is nice, pretty clear amber, and the other one's like dark orange.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the one you want. The uglier, the darker, the better. It is fun. Fat Friday. Good news for us. We got power back, which is.

[Eddie]

Is great.

[Bobby Bones]

It's. Thank you. It's been three days. Thank you. I didn't do it. I didn't do it.

[Eddie]

You didn't do it.

[Bobby Bones]

There were full trees down in the road and they were leaning on the power lines. We've been going through this ice storm, fern, as they call it, and we thought, we're not getting power back for days. But then we saw the guys saw in the trees and we're like, there's hope. Because they couldn't even put the power up until the lines that the trees were on were clear. So I did that, saw some buckets drive by. All of a sudden our house goes boop, boop, boop, boop. Stuff started coming on. It's like, happy New Year in there, man. So we have power at heat. We slept with heat. It was great. So that's good. But because of that, and I'm just so. January is the worst month of the year. I've made a list, 12 to 1, worst to best months of the year. Would you like to hear them? Because this month sucks so bad. January is the worst month, period, at number 12, January. There's no payoff anywhere in January, meaning at the end of January, it's no better than when you started January. At the beginning of winter, it's like, ooh, it's not so hot. There's some Snow. January is right in the middle of the miserable. This is the villain in the movie. At number 12 on my list, January. And number 11, February. Oh, right behind January's annoying little brother. There's a little bit of hope, but not much. No magic. February sucks. At number 10, March. Now you think March. You would think March would be good.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it'd be great.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's the thing about March. You're like, what's going to warm up in March? It snows again in March or something stupid. And it stays way cold. You'll get a couple of those little days. You're like, oh, it's back to spring. And then it's cold again. And allergy season slowly starts to creep in. So it's cold and there's allergies. March comes in at number 10 overall of worst months. Number nine, December. You get it. It just one before January, but at least December has Christmas. Yeah.

[Amy]

So it should be higher up now.

[Bobby Bones]

There's, there's a little. The reason it's not last is there's a little fun vibe to Christmas, but it's also stressful, like getting places as we build. Number one, December at number nine. At number eight, November. Thanksgiving doesn't carry the month.

[Lunchbox]

It just doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanksgiving's not strong enough to carry the month.

[Amy]

It carries you into Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

It's brown in November and the sun goes down at 5pm in November.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's true.

[Bobby Bones]

Because we do the whole weather. The time change, that sucks. So November, number eight. Number seven, August. Just because it's like so sweaty and balmy. I like summer and unless obviously I like it more than winter, but it's just August is kind of gross and things are kind of back to normal. So it's gross and people are working back to normal schools back in for the most part. So August is there. Number six. I'm going to put April. It's my birthday month, but I don't care. My birthday. So April is one day. It's 75 and awesome. But then every once in a while it hits one of those 40 degree days and you're like, what is even happening? Number five, May. There's hope. That's what I like about May.

[Eddie]

There's hope in May.

[Bobby Bones]

There's hope. I got October at 4. October elite. Because there's still like a little warmth and there's still like that nip. And also at Starbucks, it's the first time you really can get pumpkin spice latte. Pumpkin spice latte. That's right. Football's going. We're not near the end of football. We're like, in the prime of the early football. We love that. It's like week five, week six, we got June at number three. I love June. It's not too hot, a little warm. I love summer, but it's not too hot. September's at 2. Now we're talking. The second best month of the whole year is September. It's still warm.

[Amy]

I cannot believe what you're putting at number one.

[Bobby Bones]

It's less sweaty. That's the start of football. So all the excitement is building. Back to football and number one, July.

[Amy]

No, that's so.

[Eddie]

July's great.

[Amy]

Feeling so high.

[Eddie]

July 4th, freedom.

[Lunchbox]

My birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

September, everyone's happier. Life slows down just enough In July, you go to the lake. Or at least you guys do love the lake. July knows what's up. July is the number one month of the year. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Any notes?

[Amy]

Yeah, summer month is just not gonna be number one for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You like the fall?

[Amy]

Love the fall.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the worst month to you? Because I have January dialed in.

[Amy]

Probably August.

[Bobby Bones]

Worst in January.

[Lunchbox]

Worse than February.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

I mean, January's pretty bad, but I don't mind the winter. I mean, I don't want a storm, an ice storm.

[Bobby Bones]

But January's the worst because there's. You're cold and it ain't almost over.

[Amy]

Okay, fine. I'll give you. You're right. January does suck because also, holidays are over.

[Bobby Bones]

And everybody in Florida. Screw you guys. Everybody in Florida. California. Screw you guys. With good weather all year. We're so jealous of you.

[Amy]

So I'll go January and then August.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, everybody in Atlanta. You guys are pretty lucky, too, for the most part.

[Eddie]

I think. You did March dirty, though, man.

[Amy]

I know.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

You really did.

[Bobby Bones]

Allergies kill me, dude.

[Eddie]

March Madness.

[Bobby Bones]

That's when allergies march back in and make my life miserable.

[Amy]

Eddie and I were born.

[Eddie]

We were spring break.

[Bobby Bones]

I never went on spring breaks. I to work every time. Anyway, to the calendar, I say bah humbug. Especially now. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Amy]

A crossing guard, Joe Sass, went above and beyond his job description. He's just supposed to make sure kids can cross the road safely. But that doesn't include if a water main busts. And then the water so freezing cold, it's icy. He carried kids through the water so they could get to school.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

Yeah, he said this is literally not in my job description, but I'll he Said, but I'll do anything for these kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Gotta love it.

[Amy]

He carefully picked them up one by one and carried them through the icy water. It was captured by a news helicopter flying overhead. And so obviously, he made the news, and people have been praising him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, somebody get that guy some new boots. Like, that should be his gift. Some new boots, because he for sure ruined his. That's what's up. That's what it's all about. That was.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Jacksonville, Texas. A 43 year old woman got a FaceTime call from a relative in prison. I guess you can do that. And they were talking and she was like, don't worry, we're still holding it down back here at home. We're still partying. And on the video call, she was smoking meth.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, it wasn't a smuggled in phone.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, she was. No, just on FaceTime. So police went to her house and arrested her for the illegal drugs.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

You can claim that I wasn't smoking meth. If you hide it. By the time they get there, I'm.

[Amy]

Sure they record all those calls.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't you think how they can prove it? Just a video. You can. Smoking prop meth. Everybody does that. Yeah, we do that at my house every Thursday.

[Amy]

It's like candy cigarettes.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody has gone home. Eddie and I are actually going to Los Angeles and it's me, Eddie, Mike D and some of our Other crew. We're going to go do some Bobby Cast episodes out there and.

[Eddie]

You ready to go to L. A?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a long flight. I hate the trip over. I hate the driving in Los Angeles. I hate the flight back.

[Eddie]

Have you ever seen movie stars there? Like. Like just hanging out? Not. Not like when you were on Dance with the Stars and stuff, but, like, did you ever see, like, somebody cool on the street?

[Bobby Bones]

Do we just talk about this? He saw on what podcast? Sports.

[Eddie]

Okay, wait, I asked that exact same question.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw Jeremy Allen White.

[Eddie]

Oh, yep. Chef. Yep, yep, yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Sophie Turner, Larry David.

[Eddie]

Not in LA.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Was that this show? I do like 80 shows.

[Eddie]

It wasn't this show, though. Okay, so it counts. Thank God.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, thank God.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we talked about. Because I saw the picture of Chris Martin with me and Chris Martin. I don't remember.

[Eddie]

That's what it was. And then Mike saw him. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So good question. If you want to hear that conversation, go check out last week's 25 whistles, but I don't. I'm not a big LA guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't want to live out there.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I don't know how people do that.

[Bobby Bones]

The weather is awesome all the time. As we're going through a massive ice storm here where people still don't have power out there, it is always 75 to 82.

[Eddie]

I know I'm going to have to remind myself not to tell my wife how awesome the weather is when I'm over there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you should probably just act like giving a bad time in general.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I just gotta be like, oh.

[Bobby Bones]

So super long traffic. We are. Okay, let me rephrase it because I think everything's a Wii, but you're not having to pay for it. So I am paying for a Airbnb.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, we're. Yeah, we're getting an Airbnb.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, we aren't. No, we aren't. You're staying there. I got an Airbnb. It's a buy the Airbnb listing. It looks like a mansion.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I saw it has a pool, too.

[Bobby Bones]

The problem is Airbnb gets you every single time. I've never done the reverse where I get somewhere and I'm like, airbnb didn't give this place enough credit.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Every single place I've ever been in Airbnb is two notches below what the pictures are. It's like looking for a house, too. Like, when you're gonna buy a house.

[Eddie]

You know what they do is they have a wide angle lens and they make everything look humongous.

[Bobby Bones]

I would look at houses throughout the different times in my life when I bought houses, and it'd be like, massive front yard. And you get there and it's a little strip. Yeah, yeah. It's still the old wide lens, dude.

[Eddie]

It's stressful doing Airbnb rentals. Like, for me, especially with the family when we go out and for vacations or whatever. Every time we go to Texas, we have to do an Airbnb or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't stay with your family.

[Eddie]

No, because you have too many people. Mom's got, like. Mom lives in an apartment.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. So her family. You stay with them.

[Eddie]

Oh, my. Yeah, In Dallas, they have room.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So no, we get an Airbnb, and usually just everyone comes to our place, but somebody always breaks something that's owned by the Airbnb. Yeah, Like a ping pong table. Like, okay, we broke a paddle. Something's always broken when we're done with it. And then it's just like a wait and see. Like, all right, did they catch it or did they not? Because usually it's like, we're gonna have to charge.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever get the charge? Oh, yeah, we've got.

[Eddie]

Dude, we got banned from one, and we didn't do anything. Like, we didn't do anything. Like, they said that the. That some of the bedding was. Was, like, completely destroyed. I'm like, whose bedding was completely destroyed? They said that there was dog poop. My sister had a dog there for, like, one hour. I guess the dog pooped.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't fight the bedding because you.

[Eddie]

Probably thought somebody tried to, but they weren't gonna. I mean, they didn't care. They were like, it's 500 and you're never staying here again.

[Bobby Bones]

So you had to pay 500 bucks for bedding for extra cleaning.

[Eddie]

The dog poop and the replay, they called it replacing the bedding. Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Well, they get you. So I'm expecting our place to be pretty good, even though it looks awesome.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we rented. We did. You know what we did?

[Eddie]

We rented.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I rented a house. And we're gonna go. And we have Blake Shelton, who will be on the show next week because we're gonna go record. We have Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars, who was not on my season, but I've run into him, met him a bunch of times. Super nice. Have Chris Robinson, the lead singer of Black Crows, and she hosted a show on Nat Geo Forever called Trafficked, and she would like, go undercover, like, into the cartel and to. And so we're gonna have her.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna be super cool. I think it's gonna be cool. But. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You met her before?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had meetings. Like, I went and met with her people, and we had long meetings and developed a show together that, in the end, did not get picked up. Man, it was. It was such a good idea.

[Eddie]

The. The idea you had?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did she think it was a good idea?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because she. Her production company came onto it.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

She was like, I love it, but.

[Eddie]

Just because you pitched it to them, can you do it somewhere else?

[Bobby Bones]

It mostly was once we came up with the idea and we pitched it to a couple places, and they were. My problem is my schedule. So in television, they like to shoot everything as quick as possible because you got to pay people. Yeah. For every day they're out, all the equipment, rental equipment. So it's not easy for someone like me who has a couple days here, a couple days there to do a show, because you got to keep those people on or you got to hire different people every single time, and there's no continuity, like, quality continuity with that. And so when I had this show and involved me going to different countries, meeting with other presidents, it just was too hard to do with unless I just went and traveled country to country.

[Eddie]

Dude, that's such a.

[Bobby Bones]

We almost did it, though. We had it. I had it. I can give you a rough version of the show is I wanted to go and interview presidents from all these countries, Some I've never even heard of, some countries I never heard of, and, like, try to find, like, the qualities that these people have in common. But I want to interview them. Not about politics.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

I want to. I wanted to spend, like, some life with them, like a day. That's cool. And we had people in. We had. We had presidents of, like, odd countries, small.

[Eddie]

It's like, a country that, like, you didn't even know existed.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now I do. That's a weird question. You were like, I don't know, but there's some castans.

[Eddie]

Like, oh, oh, there's a lot of Cassandra Stans. I watch ufc, man. There's a lot of Castans.

[Bobby Bones]

So there's some of those. And then she had such great contacts from her show.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

To where she goes. I know the president or the people that get us with this person. We had people on.

[Eddie]

At first, I thought you were gonna get trafficked.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be a show undercover. I go undercover and just get trafficked.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that show, in the end, I didn't give all the details about it anyway, but in the end it didn't work out. But I just had this idea, I was just gonna do it as content. Like before I went to her, I just thought, I'm gonna email all these presidents and let. And have them let me come. And then honestly, I was like, me and Mike and like, Brandon will go over.

[Eddie]

You go to Casin.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. To foreign countries and just hang out with the presidents and like do a digital series.

[Eddie]

Dude, that'd be crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my idea.

[Eddie]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I was gathering emails of like different offices and I reached out to the president, Nat Geo, who I know really well, from country.

[Eddie]

Not a country.

[Bobby Bones]

Nat Geo. Not a country. Nat Geo. The channel and the president. Yes, yes. That's. Yeah, good.

[Eddie]

Just gotta catch that real quick.

[Bobby Bones]

One of the versions of the show though, that when we were spitballing it, they're like, what if we do presidents of like, companies and stuff? That's too easy.

[Eddie]

Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's too easy. But my original idea was to, to just email and then fly over and record content, digital content, put on YouTube, whatever. And so I called Courtney Monroe at Nat Geo and I said, do you have any addresses, like email addresses of like high ranking government officials? And I know her well enough to just make the call. I actually sent her a voice memo because I don't like calling people. And she messaged me back and she was like, I do, but I think you should develop this out. She goes, Because I think this is something odd and it's an idea I've never heard of before. There's a ton of travel shows, there's a million travel shows. But like, what, you want to do it? The aspirations are so high that I think people would think, so go meet with Mariana, who's coming in. And so her show also followed my show on Nat Geo. Her show is the one that won Emmys. If you add all our Emmys together, it's like five. Her show on my show. Because she got five. Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Adam, both got it. Yeah, yeah, they're all hers. What, what did she. Was she a journalist like before or how did she. Yeah, just like a news journalist.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know about news. I. Her whole story. I don't know for sure.

[Eddie]

I guess you'll find out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'll find out.

[Eddie]

You start with like, tell me your story.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So where you from? Portugal is one of the countries we're gonna go to.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, Portugal's a funny one. Like I always feel like that's South America.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's not only because the language.

[Eddie]

Right. Portuguese they speak in Brazil.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like over there and they're tan like you in Portugal.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Aren't they dark skinned? I believe so.

[Eddie]

Huh. Have you been to Portugal?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I just feel like people because they speak Brazilian and Brazil people have tan skin. I guess I just.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Does your mic work, Mike? Oh, yeah. Oh, good. Would you have wanted to go to other countries and just fly off and that sounds awesome to me. Yeah, that was the plan is to just go do it one at a time, one offs. I mean, I guess I haven't been off of North America. True. Central America with Costa Rica. But like I haven't left Cross.

[Eddie]

And I assume all these presidents probably speak English, right?

[Bobby Bones]

If not, I have a translator. Oh, I did. I put no thought in this.

[Eddie]

Like the UN a little.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Courtney Monroe thought it was just hilarious. And I thought that I had the. The audacity to think I'm just going to email president and they're going to.

[Eddie]

Go from your Yahoo.

[Bobby Bones]

Cubs 68 Cubs fan is going to hit him up. Sup Rez? Yes. And I think she just thought that was so funny that I would have that. Just the confidence that I can make it work. That she goes, you have that confidence that I think it can work. And we almost got it there. I just could not be gone for three weeks at a time.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because. And that's inevitably what ended the show on Nat Geo is because that show.

[Eddie]

Which one? Breaking by bus?

[Bobby Bones]

No, that wasn't Nat Geo. Oh yeah. I was taking a snake in the grass. Nat. That Nat Geo show was going to go back. We were going to do international because Nat Geo turned from like a America. They would do country specific versions of Nat Geo.

[Eddie]

Like there'd be like, oh, Nat Geo Brazil. Nat Geo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And so it turned. It's now more so a world channel and a lot of their content is all over the world now airs. They make one product that goes everywhere. It's kind of a cost cutting and so they wanted to do it in other countries. I couldn't be gone that long. I could like stretch it out but then I would have no vacation and have a wife.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't care about vacation like that. It just wouldn't work. But that's why that show. Because that show never got canceled. That show was we're gonna wait and see. If we can figure out a way to get it to come back. And then the only way to get it to come back was to go internationally, and I couldn't be gone.

[Eddie]

Is it still on hiatus? Do you feel like you can just go back in there and be like, all right, I've decided to just give you all my time?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Probably too many things have changed.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Do they Did. Is Nat Geo. The one that does. Does the Will Smith one, the pole to pole or something? It looks interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, they do great, great, great work. But the President show was an Internet idea. It was just gonna be me and Mike and Reed. Basically. Reed doesn't work here anymore. I mean, Reed does work for me. Mr. President, Mr. Gorbachev. It's me, Reed. Will you sign this for me? So, yeah, I don't know why that came here.

[Eddie]

Because she's gonna be a guest.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, yeah, we're going off to California. We will be back on Sunday. And are you.

[Eddie]

Are you, like, on super booking mode for Bobby Cast for these? Like, how. Like, how's that going?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Yes. 75%. No, 25%. When we started, we didn't want to get caught not having enough good episodes. And so as soon as we agreed to the deal with Netflix, it was book as many big artists or big talent as possible. And we want to make sure that if something happens and I get sick or something, because it's not like the radio show where we can throw on a rerun if we have to, or.

[Eddie]

Sure, you can. You can throw one of the episodes where you and I are talking about, like, the top 10 albums.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, we literally probably could throw.

[Eddie]

One of those on there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we could. I just kind of wanted to hit the ground strong. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so Kenny Bailey, Blake, possibly Derek Huff next week. But we have some other big ones coming up too, like Cody Johnson. Cody Johnson's coming up.

[Eddie]

Oh, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Who?

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

We'll put out Luke Combs eventually. We have Luke Combs.

[Eddie]

You already. You already did that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yep, we did that one. It's really good. Next few weeks, that'll be up. So, yeah, we probably have, at this point, nine, I think, so nine in the can that hasn't aired yet, and.

[Eddie]

Then you're releasing two a week. That's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

But here's the good news for you, is that after we hit our first little spell of just, like, coming out super strong, then we'll release some weak episodes. So you'll get to come back and do some.

[Eddie]

Oh, let's go, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Do my kids, where we talk about music.

[Eddie]

Do my kids would love that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, it'll happen. And what's funny is they're actually not weak because they perform. Or the ones where I just talk about myself. We look at streams.

[Eddie]

Really? They perform better than, like, don't they?

[Bobby Bones]

Why do we need a guest? They perform bigger than our. Like, if we looked at the biggest episodes of last year, now that's a little affected by when it hit in the year. Because if we did one in February, then we looked at all of 2025, which we did.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Put in February, yet you had more time to be heard.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But, like, three of the top six were me just talking wow. Into the mic.

[Eddie]

Is it because, like, you say something stupid, like, or we say something. Whenever we talk about our stuff, we always say something stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I don't know if you were any of the top ones.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So we. I don't know. It actually got really low. Yeah, those are the ones. Somehow we had to give streams back.

[Eddie]

That makes sense. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I got a couple ideas. One, sometimes people see an artist and they're just not interested. And it's not that they don't like that podcast, but they'll be specific on. If I have a good guest on, they'll listen to it. If not, they may skip it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's part of it. So you could lose 25 to 30% on that, regardless. That's one. And then two is if people are listening to it for the most part, they have to not hate me.

[Eddie]

That's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

So if it's just me, they're not gonna probably not like that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I got you.

[Bobby Bones]

But I think our biggest episode last year, though, was Chris Tomlin, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Chris Tomlin returns, actually, when he came back. Yeah. And it was kind of early in the year, but Chris Tomlin Returns, I think, was our biggest streaming episode last year. Oh. But what I was going to say was the episodes that even we do, they. Me and you. Yeah. They stream really well on YouTube, as good as some of the artists.

[Eddie]

That's awesome. Yeah. And I think that's because we say stupid stuff all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

I think people are interested. We talk about music. Yeah. You enraged some people from time to time.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Saying stupid stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

We say stupid stuff on, like, 80 shows. So it's not like they're coming to that one for stupid stuff. They'd be coming into this one for most of the stupid stuff. So before we go, because we were going to go. Do you have any favorite LA memories from all of our trips?

[Eddie]

I mean, I think my favorite LA memory is coming to see you at Dancing with the Stars. Like, that was pretty amazing one, because I thought I was going to be able to see you and hang out with you. Oh, yeah, that wasn't true.

[Bobby Bones]

You just saw me.

[Eddie]

I saw Mike mostly, and Mike was working most of the time on his computer.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike and I were living together in an apartment given to us by Dancing.

[Eddie]

With the Stars, right? And so it was like, all right, go. Go tour LA by yourself. And I went to the Hollywood sign. I went to the observatory.

[Bobby Bones]

It's funny you thought I would have time, knowing I was doing the radio show and I was training all day.

[Eddie]

I thought we would be able to hang out because, like, you were out here. You were in L. A all the time, like. And so I was like, okay, live.

[Bobby Bones]

Out here for months. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And so I was like, oh, cool, I'm going to go visit. Visit Bobby. And, like, I got there to the apartment, you weren't there, and I see Mike and I'm like, where's? Bobby's like, oh, dude, he's not.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

He's like, he's gone.

[Bobby Bones]

I would come in and go to bed. That's about it.

[Eddie]

And then I'd go in my room or whatever, or, like, the bathroom. I come out and Mike's gone. And I didn't see Mike for, like, three hours. And so that. That was crazy. But watching you and going to the studio where, like, they shot Price Is Right and all this other stuff, I. CBS studio, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Cbs, not.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And seeing the trailers and, like, Mike knew everyone at the, you know, in security, and then going to your trailer, and you had your own trailer, dude, it was nuts. That experience was crazy. And then.

[Bobby Bones]

And then the live show part of it is the live show crazy.

[Eddie]

They have a live band, you know, and then with their commercial break, it's. Everyone just kind of moves around, they're doing stuff. And then it's like, all right, quiet on in five, four, three. And then you're just thinking, wow, right now this room is being shown all over the world. Like, unbelievable. And then Bobby's about to dance, and everyone's gonna see it live. This is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Is crazy.

[Eddie]

So, yeah, that was. Dude, that was probably my favorite, favorite experience coming to la. I mean, we got some cool things.

[Bobby Bones]

It's always work trips, but it's always. What were we out here for last when we were over at the ocean we took the pictures, the sad pictures on the dock.

[Eddie]

Was that key? Was that Keith Urban?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie]

We came for a Keith Urban thing, and then we went to go see Stone Cold after that.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, remember, I'm in my big sweater. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

We went to Venice or one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And we took.

[Bobby Bones]

We took Reed.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Reed. Because he'd never been. Oh, Oh, A Rich Eisen.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I was hosting Rich.

[Eddie]

You're hosting Rich Eisen Show? Yeah, that's what it was. That was the last time I came.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you were a guest. How about you?

[Eddie]

Yeah, we talked about the Cowboys. That was crazy. That was so cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a fun picture. You should get that one frame.

[Eddie]

I know. I do have it.

[Bobby Bones]

You're a guest on the Rich Eisen Show.

[Eddie]

Pretty amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was fun. Mike, what's your favorite memory from out here? I think it was the first time I ever came and I went to the Walk of Fame, and that was just the thing that I only seen on tv. And then just loving movies my entire life, actually getting to come here, see the Hollywood sign, I was like, wow, I never thought I would come here.

[Eddie]

Makes everything feel just. Oh, this is real. You know, because, like, you just see pictures and.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And what's crazy, too, in la, every thing looks like a movie set. Like, everything you see, like, oh, that feel like that store I've seen in a movie or. Well, that house definitely has been in a movie. Like, everything looks like a movie because they shoot everything here.

[Bobby Bones]

Most of my association with that town is just going to work and then figure out how to juggle work and work. Because I would just be going out for idle.

[Eddie]

That's stressful.

[Bobby Bones]

And then having to text Mike. Okay, we need a studio because we got to record in the LA studio. I'll meet you there in 1 hour, 43 minutes. Yeah, because I'd never get to do anything LA based.

[Eddie]

Do you ever go to, like, Disneyland or anything?

[Bobby Bones]

Once, for fun. Because. So there were. Idol was taping on a day, there was a break day, there was another day. So I couldn't go home. Most time I do two days in a row, then go home. And there was a day in the middle, and they told me, hey, you know, Disney owns abc, owns Idol, So if you want to go, that's what I ran to. Steven Tyler.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's right.

[Bobby Bones]

I was at Disneyland.

[Eddie]

Land lands here. Yeah, lands in la.

[Bobby Bones]

And I had the guide that walked me around.

[Eddie]

Oh, you had your own escort, huh?

[Bobby Bones]

Dang vip and so fast.

[Eddie]

Pass. You weren't waiting in lines, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no lines. We were going, like, underground and crap.

[Eddie]

Oh, they have underground, like, parts of it. Like tunnels and stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Never seen that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I got the absolute most. That's really cool, that. Yeah, that's about the only time.

[Eddie]

Do you ride rides? Like, do you go on roller coasters?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I went with somebody from Idol because it was one of the crew members that I just got to be friends with. He shot me all the time.

[Eddie]

Hey, man, you want to come to.

[Bobby Bones]

Disney with me, sir? But they. So you just spend a lot of time with them. Yeah. Like, okay, this next person, they, like, feed it in your ear. And so. Yeah, I know he didn't have family either. Anywhere. Like, I go Disney.

[Eddie]
