Sam Mullins
Come on. That's awesome. That's the good news. The bad news is you're a little disappointed in the show.

Yeah.

Bob Pittman
I mean, I'm sorry. I'm a partner in Hope. I donate every month.
Jewel
So that's your limit?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do the million dollar show. Yeah.
Jewel
I'm like, is it because I'm going to send a video out? Like, no one wanted a video on the show.
Sam Mullins
I don't want a video.
Bob Pittman
I definitely don't want a video.
Sam Mullins
I'm good. Well, congratulations on that.
Jewel
Thank you.
Sam Mullins
An update with Eddie and Morgan. If you guys can pull up the YouTube followers.
Bobby Bones
My goodness.
Sam Mullins
I know. We were getting close to 300,000. And if we hit 300,000 in the next half hour, I would say, what is our deadline? Yeah, you have about a half hour. But we are so close, you'll each get 100 bucks.
Jewel
Oh, my gosh.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, we were really close.
Bobby Bones
Do you want the number?
Sam Mullins
No, dude, I just want to sit here and not get the number.
Bobby Bones
I have the number.
Sam Mullins
Okay, I'm ready.
Bobby Bones
299,204. Dude, we are so close.
Sam Mullins
So. So you need.
Bobby Bones
We need 800.
Sam Mullins
A little over 700.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's all we need. 800. All you got to do is go to YouTube, buy a bone show, and subscribe. Just click a little button and we win.
Bob Pittman
But where is that passion when you're not on the mic, dude? Like, we had all these days, and you didn't post anything on your social media. It's like, where is your help?
Sam Mullins
Oh, they didn't post on their social media.
Bob Pittman
Eddie did not. Morgan made a video. I reposted it. Morgan reposted it. Eddie? Nope.
Bobby Bones
All the videos I made for you and send them to you.
Sam Mullins
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
I made him videos so he can put on his instagram of what? Of us talking about subscribing. And I edited him and I sent it to him, and I got declined on the airdrop twice.
Sam Mullins
What? Does he know what airdrop is?
Bobby Bones
Maybe not.
Jewel
Good question, Bobby, but did you put them on yours?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I just put one right now.
Damian Maldonado
Oh.
Sam Mullins
You have 25 minutes, dude.
Bobby Bones
We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it.
Sam Mullins
Okay, so we'll update in a little bit. Morgan has some questions from social media, from our listeners. I don't know what these questions are, but they want some updates and some answers on certain things, so we'll pull those up, and then we're also gonna bring in the whiteboard because I want to blind rank these 90s country artists. I want to have Amy do what I did and see if we end up in the same place in the same order.
Jewel
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam Mullins
So, Morgan, are you first?
Morgan
Yep, I'm ready.
Sam Mullins
Okay, question one.
Morgan
Is Lunchbox going to Turkey?
Sam Mullins
That's a Scuba Steve question, because he's the one that's been negotiating with sales. Is he going to go to Turkey, or have they moved off that because they wanted me to go?
Bobby Bones
They were definitely focused on you. They haven't told me no yet, because last I asked was, I think a week ago when they asked this update, and I haven't got any responses, so.
Sam Mullins
So Turkey has, like, a tourism bureau the country, and so they wanted me to go and I'd be away from the show for too long, so I said, I cannot, but would you accept Lunchbox? And so far, it's not been a no, but we haven't got a yes yet. So it's still up in the air.
Bobby Bones
It's in limbo.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, got it. Okay, next one.
Morgan
Morgan, is there any new Pimpinjoy merchandise coming out soon?
Sam Mullins
That's an Amy question.
Jewel
We Normally do stuff 4th of July, so I feel like that's the coming of the building Homes for Heroes.
Sam Mullins
That's crazy.
Jewel
I know.
Sam Mullins
I cannot not building Homes for Heroes, but Fourth of July is already coming up.
Jewel
I know.
Bobby Bones
I feel like we just had Christmas.
Sam Mullins
I feel like I was just 25. What?
Jewel
We need to slow life down.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but that's just happening. It's nothing we're doing.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, but, Morgan, what else do you have?
Morgan
Why did the cruise ports change?
Sam Mullins
Why did the cruise.
Morgan
Which means the places that the cruise was going.
Sam Mullins
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Oh, the destinations.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. I have no idea. Lolly don't know anything about it. Okay, next.
Morgan
Why were Bobby and Amy laughing at Lunchbox getting In a car accident.
Sam Mullins
We weren't. We were laughing at how he was acting like he almost died and it tore off a little part of his bumper. We actually took it very seriously at first, but he kept on talking about his near death experience or whatever, and we were like. Once we saw the picture, we were like, oh, it wasn't like, flopping on the ground behind you. But, yeah, I know it was serious. But, yeah, we were laughing because this. Once we saw the picture, it seemed like he was a little hyperbole. Little exaggeration.
Bob Pittman
No, no, it was flapping in the wind, dude. Like, it was out there. Like, whoa. Like, it could have hit the car next to us.
Sam Mullins
Okay, what else?
Morgan
And the last one. Why is the show trying so hard to get more YouTube subscribers?
Sam Mullins
Same reason we want you to subscribe to our podcast. So we can make money. So the show can make money. So we keep our jobs.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, and we get $100.
Sam Mullins
They get a hundred bucks. Yeah. And the more subscribers we have, the more the YouTube channel makes. I don't own the YouTube channel channel. The company does. But if we have high subscribers or high ratings, then it costs more for an ad, and that keeps us on the air. Same reason we would want to keep people listening forever on just, like, normal radio. But now we have to do that in many other ways.
Bobby Bones
And We've already gotten 50 more subscribers.
Sam Mullins
Since we've been 15 or 50.
Bobby Bones
50.
Sam Mullins
What? No way. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Dude, they're coming in quick.
Jewel
Okay, I just created a post.
Bobby Bones
Amy, are you subscribing?
Jewel
I already subscribed, but I'm making.
Sam Mullins
Is this, like, you donated to Abby?
Jewel
No, look, I mean. What? I didn't say I donated to Abby.
Sam Mullins
No, I know, but we're reminding you.
Jewel
I know. Yeah, I need. No, no, I'm making this now. But listen.
Sam Mullins
Oh, okay.
Jewel
Related to YouTube. Have y'all started that show on Netflix about the kid influencers?
Sam Mullins
Not really something I'd watch. I don't think so. No.
Jewel
Raquel, or, you know, I don't know who these kids are, because, yes, they are very young.
Sam Mullins
The one I know is the one that does the toys.
Bobby Bones
Ryan.
Sam Mullins
And he's, like, 40 now.
Bobby Bones
Ryan's older now.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
He might be a teenager.
Sam Mullins
That's the only kid influencer that I know. Cause we would talk about how much money that that channel was making. Why? What's the show about?
Jewel
Okay, well, it's about this one girl whose mom, like, just really put her on YouTube and they started making cute videos, and the mom was like, wow, we could make money. So they start getting these other friends involved and they're all kids, and she calls them their squad. And she's making like $500,000 a month from these kids and not paying out the other kids the same way. Because now the parent, now they're in a lawsuit. Like, it's really weird. And these kids, it was like a cult. Like, they were. She was very manipulative and just like, totally messed with these kids. It's really sad because they were having fun at first, and then it turned into this job and they were working till one in the morning.
Sam Mullins
And like, the show she's describing, this show started as.
Jewel
Except for they were. They. They're like 10, 11, 12 years old. And she was having them like, make out and like, kit like they should be. Because crush videos are really big amongst the.
Sam Mullins
That's why I don't watch it. I don't want to watch anything. Kids making out.
Jewel
Yeah. Like, you, like, they would post these cute videos of like, oh, I've got a crush on, you know, Lunchbox. You know.
Sam Mullins
They said that?
Jewel
No, I'm telling you, if we want to.
Sam Mullins
We've really been trying hard to go viral.
Jewel
If we want to get YouTube subscribers. Lunchbox and I need to have a crush or something.
Sam Mullins
Dang. Now she's proposing that Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay. That's the deal, guys. She wants me to drive right now.
Sam Mullins
They'll make out. After all these years.
Jewel
Can you imagine? But that's like what this mom was doing.
Sam Mullins
It's called Bad Influence. The dark side of kid fluency.
Jewel
Yes.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. I'm out. I'm out. I'm sure it's compelling. I'm out, though.
Jewel
It's compelling and sad and disturbing.
Sam Mullins
Have you watched Black mirror yet? Episode 1 of the New season?
Jewel
Is it disturbing?
Sam Mullins
It's way dark.
Jewel
Of course it is.
Sam Mullins
It's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Darker than the other ones.
Jewel
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Is it getting darker? Because, like, some of the earlier stuff's pretty messed up.
Sam Mullins
That's what it feels like. Mike and I were just talking about this. That's my favorite show. That and the Office are my favorite shows ever. That Walking Dead. It's technology and how technology is changing us and the dark ways technology will be used in the future.
Bobby Bones
Gosh, it's so real.
Sam Mullins
It's so real. And this first episode, not gross, but it makes you feel gross. And I think it wouldn't be for me, except it's based all around technology. It's really good. It's like Emmy winning type stuff. Yeah, One of my favorite episodes ever. My wife watched it with me. She doesn't watch Black Mirror. Really? She was like, oh, I don't know if I want to watch this. And I was like, oh, it'd be good. Look who's in it. Because it has a couple pretty famous actors. It has Pam from the Office, also from Parkinson Ray.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
And then it has, I don't know, this Irish guy that I know from a bunch of stuff. Yeah, he's in a. I can't remember the other show he's in. It looks like Ben Lee, the singer. I don't know who he is, but he's been at a bunch of stuff. It's really good. It's really dark.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I think I know you're talking about. Is he the guy in Bridesmaids? He's like the cop. Yeah, he looks like Ben Lee. It's the only reason I was in.
Sam Mullins
A show called the it Crowd from back in the day. I think I can give you the synopsis. The first episode with no spoiler. We pull it up. I don't want to say anything bad, but I'm gonna wait. And then we're gonna do the 90s country thing. I just wanna make sure. Okay, here we go. Here's the synopsis from the Internet. When a medical emergency leaves a schoolteacher Amanda, fighting for her life, her desperate husband Mike signs her up for rivermind, a high tech system that will keep her alive, but at a cost. It's basically, you have to pay for streaming. And that's all I'll say.
Bobby Bones
I don't quite understand it, but I kind of see where it's going.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Okay, so it's excellent, but it is awful.
Bobby Bones
And is there only one episode out or are they all out?
Sam Mullins
Netflix does it all at once.
Bobby Bones
That's cool.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. But yeah, we're not. They're so standalone. But I'm in. I can't wait to watch the next one. There's a bunch of them. There's like six or something. We're gonna blind rank country artist. Amy, I'll let you do it. I did it. And I'm gonna give you the exact same order that I got to see where they would fall on your chart.
Jewel
Okay.
Sam Mullins
So if you go to my Instagram, you can see my chart. And again, blind ranking is. There's a database of all these artists and it'll go. It'll flip and it'll just stop on one and you have one through 10 and you automatically just put it in a spot blindly without knowing who else is to come? Got it, Got it. Okay, I can stand up, right? Mm.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you're gonna see.
Jewel
Oh, this feels fun.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, no, it's gonna be fun.
Jewel
Big whiteboard.
Sam Mullins
Now I'm assuming I don't use a sharpie.
Bobby Bones
Right there.
Sam Mullins
I've done that before.
Bobby Bones
It'll be there forever.
Sam Mullins
Okay, I can move over here. Okay, Amy, your first artist. Now you'll have one through ten. Handwriting is terrible. Bear with me. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Your first artist to pop up is Tracy Lawrence. Don't you pay me a Birmingham.
Jewel
Oh, man.
Sam Mullins
Where do you put him on the list? Blindly? One through ten.
Jewel
Oh, blind seven.
Sam Mullins
Wow. Okay.
Jewel
Is that high or low?
Sam Mullins
Tracy Lawrence. That's seven.
Bobby Bones
It's your list.
Jewel
Is that good or bad? Okay, well, why'd you say wow?
Sam Mullins
That seems. It doesn't matter. It seems a little low to me, but. Doesn't matter.
Jewel
Okay, but I don't know who else we got exactly.
Sam Mullins
Next up is Vince Gill. You're getting the same order I got.
Jewel
Okay. Eight.
Sam Mullins
Okay. Vince Gill. Also down on the pooper.
Bob Pittman
Wow.
Jewel
It's not. I just don't know if there's like.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you don't know who's next?
Jewel
I don't know if, like. It's Garth Dolly.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, but you're putting them pretty low. I just saying that's eight because I.
Jewel
Don'T know who's coming.
Sam Mullins
Amen. That's the whole point of it.
Jewel
Golly.
Bobby Bones
Amen.
Sam Mullins
Next up, Jody Messina. Do you think Jody Messina ranks above Tracy Lawrence and Vince Gill? How many Jody Messina songs do you know? Is my mic good? You also know it's Carolina.
Jewel
I know she's got some jams. What do I do here, cuz? Now I'm screwed.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, I know. You're not screwed.
Jewel
No, it feels that way.
Bobby Bones
You got a lot of numbers left.
Jewel
Because I know. But I don't know if I go six or nine because.
Sam Mullins
Hey, nice.
Jewel
Whoa. You know?
Sam Mullins
Okay, I need an answer. Jody Messina.
Jewel
Golly. Six.
Sam Mullins
Okay. Next up, Garth Brooks.
Jewel
One. I know it's hard. What am I supposed to do?
Bobby Bones
What if George comes up?
Jewel
I love George. Well, you're taking them or ranking the world.
Sam Mullins
No, you're. You're doing your blind rankings. You're doing them.
Jewel
Okay, well, because George is number one.
Sam Mullins
But you don't. You don't know if he's gonna pop up or not, right? Yeah. Guys, don't influence her.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Sam Mullins
Okay. Don't influence her.
Jewel
Okay, fine. Garth. Two.
Sam Mullins
No, no, you said one. Okay, I said until they reacted I need to know what you two.
Jewel
I want to put a. I want to put Garth at 2.
Sam Mullins
Okay, you're sure it's you? It's not anybody else influencing you?
Jewel
It's me.
Sam Mullins
Okay. At two.
Jewel
That was definitely influenced.
Sam Mullins
Garth Brooks. She's leaving a spot open. Next up, you have Garth at 2, Jody Messina at 6, Tracy Lawrence at 7, Vince Gill at 8. All these other spots are open. Next up, Alan Jackson.
Jewel
So good. Four.
Sam Mullins
Okay. Alan Jackson goes at four. You still have one and three open. Next up, Reba.
Jewel
Nice.
Sam Mullins
Okay, 1, 3, 5, 9, and 10. You got one and ten still open.
Jewel
Unknown bookends Reba. Golly, I don't know who else we have. So what do I do? What do I do? Reba's in the top five for sure. So she's three or five. I don't know what to do about the number one spot. So she's three or five dot we'll.
Sam Mullins
Pick one of them.
Jewel
You pick.
Sam Mullins
No.
Jewel
Okay, fine. Five.
Sam Mullins
Okay. Next up, 90s country artist Kenny Chesney. You have 1, 3, 9, and 10 open three. Okay. Kenny Chesney is at three. Okay, so we have one is still open. Garth Brooks at two, Kenny Chesney at three, Alan Jackson at four, Reba at five, Jody Messina at six, Tracy Lawrence at seven, Vince Gill at eight. Next up, John Michael Montgomery. One. Nine and ten are left.
Jewel
I mean, who's left? Nine.
Sam Mullins
You have one in ten. She does not want to commit. That's what she shows here. She does not want to commit to somebody being the best or the worst on the list. Next up, Martina McBride.
Jewel
10. I mean, she's not really 10, but that hurts. I know I had to put her there because that's what's left.
Sam Mullins
We go, and you're number one now, blindly, the only one left to pop up is Faith hill.
Jewel
Okay, she's one. Okay, so Garth could have been one.
Sam Mullins
So blindly. Amy's list is Faith Hill, 1, Garth, 2, Chesney, 3, Alan Jackson 4, Reba 5, Jody Messina 6, Tracy Lawrence, 7, Vince Gill, 8, John Michael Montgomery, 9. And Martina McBride tend. There is no right or wrong answer.
Bobby Bones
That's not a bad list.
Jewel
I know. There's no right or wrong. It just feels wrong.
Sam Mullins
Mine was blindly. Garth was 1, Reebo was 2, Alan Jackson was 3, Tracy Lawrence was 4, Vince Gill was 5, Jody Messina was 6, Martina McBride was 7, Faith Hill was 8, John Michael Montgomery was 9. And I put Chesney 90s at 10, because I don't really like his 90s stuff. I liked his later Slower stuff. I felt pretty good.
Bobby Bones
Pretty solid.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Once I got Garth in that mid spot, that's easy one for me. Where Amy did have to wonder if George Straight was coming.
Jewel
I did.
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Jewel
I sure did.
Sam Mullins
How do you feel? Okay. About that list?
Jewel
I feel okay. Yeah. That's a good way to describe it.
Sam Mullins
Would you. If you can move it now. Not blind. Who would you put it? 1.
Jewel
Garth. Garth is one. I love those people.
Damian Maldonado
Non blind.
Sam Mullins
Who's. Who would be two?
Jewel
Non blind. Alan Jackson. Who did you have it to?
Sam Mullins
Reba.
Jewel
Okay. I put. Gonna put Reba after that.
Sam Mullins
And I had Alan Jackson at 3.
Jewel
Then I would do Kenny. Ooh, ooh. Or Tracy Lawrence.
Sam Mullins
I mean, I had tracy Lawrence at.
Jewel
4 because my 90s self pay me a Birmingham all over the place.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, I don't know what she means. She hitting 69. She's saying stuff. You can turn this off, Ray.
Jewel
My friend Andrea and I, we used to listen to that Tracy Lawrence CD on repeat.
Sam Mullins
Can I lay the mic down, Ray? Okay. Thanks. Those are fun, though, huh?
Bobby Bones
That is fun.
Sam Mullins
I didn't really freak out like Amy did. Tell me. Oh, what I do.
Bob Pittman
Oh, no. Oh, no. Like you were.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, you killed. It wasn't like, you know, if you didn't pick them, they die.
Bobby Bones
And everyone understood that. You didn't know who was on coming up next.
Jewel
Yeah, I probably could have just relaxed a little.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, a little bit.
Sam Mullins
Live and learn, you know? Next time you do.
Jewel
Next time I'll be way more chill.
Sam Mullins
Let's go over to speaking of numbers. Eddie and Morgan. Any update on the page?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the numbers kind of slowed down a little bit. We are at 299,294.
Morgan
Wait, hold on.
Sam Mullins
No, you can literally just tell us how many we need instead of doing the whole 299,000 thing every time.
Bobby Bones
We need 700 still. Yeah, we only got, like, a hundred.
Sam Mullins
Got the rush out of the box.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, it's not looking good.
Bobby Bones
It's like. It's like it came quick, and then it just died down a little bit. Oh, we got 302 now.
Sam Mullins
Okay. I don't know what your numbers mean.
Bob Pittman
Still need 698.
Morgan
It's showing us a live count we need.
Bobby Bones
This is tough for me, man. I'll do math that quick.
Sam Mullins
Then let them. You can let them answer. So we need how many?
Bob Pittman
698.
Morgan
Oh, 690.
Sam Mullins
Okay. In 15 minutes.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot.
Sam Mullins
You know what? I'll give you because we're. We stay here after the show. I'll give you another hour after that.
Bobby Bones
Okay. All right.
Sam Mullins
Okay, so you can have until 11 Central.
Bobby Bones
What do we need? Lunchbox 698.
Sam Mullins
I'll just go. I'm gonna go to Morgan. Morgan. How many do we need?
Morgan
685.
Sam Mullins
Okay. Boom. There you go.
Bobby Bones
How do they do that? That's so good.
Morgan
Well, I'm just going backwards now, Eddie.
Sam Mullins
The NBA finals are next week. Raymundo has a favor to ask. What is your NBA favor? Well, so there's going to be a playoff game in our home state here in Memphis, and we really haven't done Bobby Bone show stuff at an NBA basketball game. And so I thought, why not just put the ask out. Do you have any connections with the Memphis Grizzlies? Let's go to a playoff game. Wait, why did you do all the Bobby Bonechef? Bobby Bone show stuff first and then. Do you just want tickets? Is that what you're asking for? Tickets? And if there's just a way for us to be imprinted in the NBA playoffs, why not three hours down the road? We're not even on in Memphis. Dang it. And no, I don't have any, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
But have I pay my own tickets, man? I've got a two Memphis games this year, and they're not that expensive.
Sam Mullins
Playoffs will be a little more expensive.
Bobby Bones
It would be a little more expensive, but.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, I don't have any hook up there, buddy. Sorry. You guys are going to go three hours down the road? It has been thought about, but, yeah, probably check the apps right before. See what they're looking like. Are you going to drive down and look at the apps? Yeah, well, no, no, no. We would. We would do it before and then.
Bobby Bones
See that price, man, that burned me. When the Cowboys came to Tennessee. Oh, I waited for the apps and get in me.
Sam Mullins
You were here, though.
Bobby Bones
At least me and my son were outside the gates and we could not get in. It was so sad.
Jewel
When y'all are saying the apps.
Sam Mullins
I'm sorry, but any of the second.
Jewel
Oh, selling site. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Because usually like, yeah, game start it like.
Jewel
I get it now. I just thought. I didn't know if we were talking about something else.
Sam Mullins
Hey, you had mentioned the book fair.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my gosh.
Sam Mullins
We had the book fair. It was the coolest thing ever.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam Mullins
Because even for us, it would set it up in the library and you go and you have books and Mad.
Bobby Bones
Libs and bookmarks, and they would let you go. Like, class would be like, all right, we have 30 minutes to go. To the book fair?
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Right. Well, now they're doing it three times a year.
Sam Mullins
What?
Bobby Bones
Three times the book.
Sam Mullins
Is there an independent company that comes and sets up.
Bobby Bones
Remember, it was called, like, Scholastic.
Sam Mullins
Is it even a fair if they come three times in a year?
Bobby Bones
I don't think so.
Sam Mullins
I just. That's more like. It just lives there.
Bobby Bones
They're just trying to make some cash is what they're doing.
Sam Mullins
What's happening?
Bobby Bones
Well, it's just they're there three times a year and my kids come to us and they're just like, hey, book fair is coming again. I'm like, again? And there's nothing cheaper. Now the cheapest thing there is probably 15 to $20.
Sam Mullins
So there's no discount if you go in the school and get it. If anything, they mark it up because it's in the school, so it feels different. So kids will go and spend money.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think the company charges more because they're actually going to the school.
Sam Mullins
So do you tell your kids, no.
Bobby Bones
I'm book fairing the book fair now. Now I'm saying go to the book fair, enjoy yourselves, take notes on what you want, and I will buy you whatever you want from the book fair. But on Amazon, is it cheaper, dude, way cheaper. So now guess what? Book fair. I'm book fair in you.
Jewel
But don't you want the book fair to stay around?
Bobby Bones
No, not really. I don't care.
Sam Mullins
Three times a year is a lot. And if it's just a company that's making money, then they should make a profit based on how good of a job they do. And we don't really feel sorry for companies. They don't do a good job or.
Bobby Bones
Go to more schools. Like, you just spread it around. Like, why are you hitting one school three times a year?
Jewel
Do you ever hit up the local bookstore, though?
Bobby Bones
No, I'm not a book guy, really. So now I go to the library. I went to the library like about a month ago. That was cool.
Sam Mullins
For what?
Jewel
Oh, yeah, the library took the kids just to go.
Bobby Bones
I just said I hadn't been to a library in years.
Sam Mullins
What do they have there? Like a city library?
Bobby Bones
A lot of books.
Sam Mullins
Is everybody quiet?
Bobby Bones
No, it's different now. It's different. Like, the kids can run around and be loud. There's an area where the kids are not allowed, where, like, I guess people still read. So that's different. And then the Dewey decimal, that's not a thing anymore. Now it's just a computer that hasn't.
Sam Mullins
Been a thing in a long Time.
Bob Pittman
You don't have to go through the card catalog. It's all on computer.
Sam Mullins
I have two things I want to do before we break for a second. And I got. You guys are going to have to remember, but I saved both of these. One's from Eddie, one's from Lunchbox. Eddie says, lunchbox is so dumb. Okay, not sure what that's about. And then Lunchbox says, eddie is such a loser, I have a bone to pick with him now. A lot of times if I get a note from one of you guys, I'll put parentheses beside it to remind me what it is. But because these two came in at the same time, I don't know what they are. I just thought I'd present them together because I don't know, I forgot what you guys are mad at each other about.
Jewel
Do you think that they're related or.
Sam Mullins
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'm not mad at Lunchbox. He's just an idiot.
Sam Mullins
Okay, let's go. You first, then Eddie. Lunchbox is so dumb. Why'd you send that?
Bobby Bones
We're standing out in the balcony, we're having a little break or whatever. And he's eating these like peanuts or whatever. And he looks down like we're on a six, six floor balcony. He goes, you think if I throw a peanut down there and hit one of those cars, you'll hear a boom? I'm like, no, you idiot. Like it's a peanut. Like one, I doubt you can hit the car. And two, they're not going to hear anything. It's not going to dent the car. He's like, yeah, watch this. So he starts throwing peanuts down there. He can't even get one close to a car.
Jewel
That's kind of funny.
Sam Mullins
So there are two parts. One, he couldn't hit a car.
Bobby Bones
No, he couldn't come close to a car.
Bob Pittman
Well, let's be real, it was a windy day. The gusts were about 20 miles an hour. So I was trying to lead the car and the wind just was taking it whatever direction. If it was a day where there's no wind, it have been a lot easier.
Sam Mullins
Secondly, you thought that you would hear a thud, that the peanut would gain so much speed.
Bob Pittman
Because isn't it like when you drop something, the faster it goes or the higher up or the faster it goes?
Sam Mullins
Sort of. But you. So two parts of this. One, we're not very high, we're like six floors up. Cuz like they always say, even if we're a thousand floors up, it's not going To. It's not going to matter. The peanut's not going to. Really? Yeah.
Bob Pittman
No, because they always said if you drop a penny from the Empire State Building, you can knock someone out.
Bobby Bones
So, penny, probably. It's metal, so.
Sam Mullins
No, it will not. It will not kill somebody.
Jewel
You'll kill somebody, but you won't.
Sam Mullins
It will not kill somebody. Let's say you drop anything from up here. You have. It will speed up to a certain point, but then gravity. Gravity is working. And then resistant hits. Hits it. Resistance hits it. That's called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity levels out very quickly, and it never gets faster after a certain point.
Bob Pittman
Got it.
Sam Mullins
So the peanut will only get so fast, even if it's a hundred stories up.
Bob Pittman
Oh, didn't know that.
Bobby Bones
See, this is so dumb. Like, he was arguing with me.
Bob Pittman
Oh, smart. This guy acts like he's smart. You ask Bobby questions all the time. You don't know anything either. Dude.
Bobby Bones
Obviously, I couldn't, you know, describe what you describe exactly. Terminal velocity. But I told him the same thing. You're an idiot.
Bob Pittman
That's not telling me the same thing. He made a reasoning.
Sam Mullins
The peanut does speed up to a certain point. The coin does speed up to a certain point, but at the point where gravity meets resistance.
Bobby Bones
Is that the wind?
Sam Mullins
Sure. It goes no faster than that. And that point is called terminal velocity.
Bob Pittman
See, I thought it was just gonna gain speed all the way down.
Sam Mullins
It does not do that. No, that's.
Bob Pittman
That's where I was wrong.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, it's basically resistance works as a governor. Terminal velocity is a governor, where it kind of stops it as to how fast it can go.
Bobby Bones
You know what a governor is? Lunchbox.
Sam Mullins
We had them on our golf carts. When I work maintenance at the golf course, you only go so fast.
Bobby Bones
You know when you're going down a hill and it slows it down automatically? That's the governor kicking in.
Sam Mullins
What were you saying, Amy?
Jewel
I guess I'm just more surprised he wasn't able to hit a car.
Sam Mullins
Well, that was the second part of it. I think sometimes, though, you'll be in, like, a basketball arena and you're like, oh, I could throw the ball to the floor, but it's so much further because you're up.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, it looks like you can make it, but in the wind. Just. I mean, it really was affecting everything. And I was trying to lead the cars, and the wind was, oh, you're.
Sam Mullins
Trying to lead the cars now?
Bob Pittman
Cause. Yeah, well, you throw it out in front of it because the car's driving, so you gotta throw it out there.
Sam Mullins
So could you get it to where the car drove? So were you just missing or could you not get it there?
Bob Pittman
I couldn't get it. Like, it would blow it back to the sidewalk.
Sam Mullins
Got it. Okay, so Lunchboxes Eddie is such a loser. I have a bone to pick with him. What's that about?
Bob Pittman
I mean, that was really about the whole YouTube trying to get subscribers and Eddie not wanting me to be a part of it. Like, oh, why is lunchbox a part of it? And then I'm the one that did all. Me and Morgan are the only ones that did legwork to get followers. And Eddie just sat there and did nothing. And it's like, all you have to do is Morgan was good enough to put a story up on the body bone show with a link, and all you do is repost it. And Eddie didn't even repost. It was just like, well, why is he even a part of it? If he's going to do the complaining, shouldn't he be the one doing the work? And he wasn't doing any of it. I was like, well, what a loser. He acts like he's all about it, but then Morgan and I do the heavy lifting.
Sam Mullins
Well, he has edit the videos. I'm not arguing in his defense, but I'm saying there is a part of it that he is doing, which.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, but putting the videos up while you're getting the followers.
Bobby Bones
Sure.
Sam Mullins
That's his job. Yeah, but it's like, do the extra effort to get the extra money. And there is a. It's valid.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
And then he says, oh, I tried to airdrop you videos. I'm not. You got to tell me, hey, I'm airdropping you a video. You can't just say, hey, a video. Like, I can't just have something pop up my computer. And I'm like, huh?
Bobby Bones
When it says video from Eddie like.
Sam Mullins
That, if you see it, you can accept it, but I don't know what it is.
Bob Pittman
It was a yellow triangle. And I was like, well, what is that?
Sam Mullins
Did you not look over and go, hey, Eddie, did you just send me something?
Bob Pittman
No, he was doing it while we're on air.
Bobby Bones
You could have done it during the break.
Sam Mullins
No, I thought you also could have said, hey, I tried to airdrop you something. I'm going to send you something. So the communication goes both ways.
Bobby Bones
Whatever, man. Yeah, he's an idiot. Like, what do you want me to do?
Sam Mullins
I kind of. And he's never air dropped lunchbox on this.
Bob Pittman
He's never airdropped me. Anything. So all of a sudden I was like, this has to be an accident. Like, what? That seems weird. And it's a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. That seems like it's spam.
Bobby Bones
You think I'd be sending you spam during the show?
Jewel
Maybe it's. Yeah.
Bob Pittman
Yes. Like an accident.
Jewel
Hacked.
Sam Mullins
Okay, well, where are we, Morgan?
Morgan
5:32 left.
Sam Mullins
6:32.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Sam Mullins
632 left. Yeah.
Morgan
6:32.
Sam Mullins
Sorry.
Morgan
It keeps going.
Sam Mullins
The number keeps going up. That's more than. Not 80.
Bob Pittman
That's not 30.
Morgan
It literally was just on two.
Sam Mullins
Oh, my God, Amy.
Morgan
This is a lot of Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Why does he keep saying that?
Morgan
And also, it was literally just on 422.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, 422.
Sam Mullins
It's eating his brain.
Morgan
I get it.
Sam Mullins
Oh, my God. She's not Amy. That's Morgan.
Bobby Bones
I get it.
Bob Pittman
It's updating live.
Sam Mullins
Leave me alone.
Bob Pittman
Morgan was saying that you only needed 30.
Morgan
Well, you were saying, Amy, so I.
Bob Pittman
Guess we both listen. It was at 4:25, and she was saying we need.
Sam Mullins
Sorry.
Bob Pittman
6:30 left. No, you need. So I'm saying.
Morgan
I was trying to tell her it's literally clocking.
Bob Pittman
Okay, so how many now?
Morgan
660.
Bob Pittman
There you go.
Sam Mullins
Do you want to be in charge of lunchbox? Yell that?
Bob Pittman
No, no. But you only need 560. Like you.
Morgan
Oh, my God.
Bob Pittman
I'm just.
Morgan
I don't know. It's counting backwards, guys. I don't know. And it keeps clicking upward.
Bob Pittman
I'm just hoping.
Sam Mullins
Are we all bad at math?
June
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Pretty much. I would think so. Maybe. Well, not you.
Jewel
Not you.
Sam Mullins
Obviously, Matt's not my strong suit. I only made a 23 on my ACT in math.
Bob Pittman
Oh, I don't know what that means.
Jewel
And the fact that you remember, it's.
Sam Mullins
My lowest by far. Exactly.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what I got.
Jewel
Oh, I think I made 23. Like, total.
Sam Mullins
I hated it.
Bobby Bones
23 out of what? 30, 36.
Bob Pittman
But wasn't mad the most fun?
Morgan
No.
Sam Mullins
As a subject, yeah. I guess it would just depend on your teacher. Not for me, because I was pretty weak at it. I was still. I was good, but I was pretty weak as related to my other subjects.
Bob Pittman
Like, you didn't like. I thought it was so cool when you do algebra and you had this big, long equation at the top of the page and you would have a reverse triangle as you got all the way to the bottom, and then it just had X equals. And it was like. That looks so cool that it went from this big. Got Smaller. Smaller. Smaller. Smaller. Smaller, Smaller. This X equals. It was the coolest looking. I mean, it was so satisfying.
Jewel
I'll tell you like triangles.
Sam Mullins
Did you.
Bob Pittman
No, no. I just like the way it went from so huge.
Jewel
You like that?
Sam Mullins
Did you like how it was being done? Like, did you understand it or did you shape of it?
Bob Pittman
No, no, I understood it.
Sam Mullins
That's cool. I didn't know that was your interest. Math?
Bob Pittman
Yeah. Geometry. No, shapes were not my thing.
Sam Mullins
I just said triangle.
Jewel
No, it's just more the problem.
Bob Pittman
The problem.
Sam Mullins
I know we're the juxtaposition of those two stories are.
Bob Pittman
I just thought it was so cool how it got smaller, smaller, smaller. Smaller than these. At X equals. After starting with this long line. Now, geometry. I failed Ms. Mulder. I had to retake it my junior.
Sam Mullins
Year shaved out to get you away?
Bob Pittman
No, I took honors geometry and it was just. It was way too hard. You give me a cube. I saw a square and proofs and all that crap. It was. Proofs was the dumbest thing in the history of Earth.
Sam Mullins
I don't know what that is.
Bob Pittman
Side, angle, side theory and.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God, is that where PI comes into play?
Bob Pittman
You're an idiot.
Sam Mullins
Hey, both of you. Peanut and pie, let's just chill.
Bob Pittman
Well, no, he called me an idiot.
Bobby Bones
So I had a legit question. The pie. Where does that come into play?
Sam Mullins
I suck at math. I don't mean. I don't want to be wrong.
Bobby Bones
3.3.14 is PI, right?
Bob Pittman
Yeah, but proofs were like. You had to have these. Side, angle, side. Then it turns to this, this and this. And you had to solve it by using these proofs. 60% of the test was that. And so I studied that only. And the other 40%, I was like, I have no idea what this stuff is. Because I was like, proofs are so hard. I'll get the other stuff just by.
Sam Mullins
You know, I maxed out college algebra. That was it. Never took another math class after college algebra. It's done in college.
Bob Pittman
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So what was your favorite subject?
Sam Mullins
Oh, philosophy. By far. In college. By far.
Bob Pittman
Oh, my gosh.
Sam Mullins
Like times a thousand. It was really the only one that mattered to me.
Bob Pittman
Because you liked arguing.
Bobby Bones
No, that's debate.
Sam Mullins
That would be.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, well, no, because, like, my roommate.
Sam Mullins
Philosophy's not arguing.
Bob Pittman
Oh, but it is. Because my roommate.
Sam Mullins
It's not. You're studying philosophers, theories. He doesn't say, let's fight against them. You're learning. You start with Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and you learn their thoughts. And then you go through more current Philosophers.
Bob Pittman
Well, I guess the way I looked at it is my roommate John. He was a criminal justice major, and he found out it was going to take him four and a half years to graduate, so he switched to philosophy. And he would come home and argue with me. Like, how do you know you're awake right now? And I'm like, well, I mean, because I'm doing stuff. He goes, how do you know this isn't a dream?
Sam Mullins
But I don't.
Bob Pittman
And he's like, this is what we argued about.
Sam Mullins
Class was based in argument.
Bob Pittman
Okay, well, that's what I took it when he would bring these stupid arguments home and argue with me for an hour. And I'm like, no, dude, I'm awake. He's like, well, I'll send this argument. I'm like, oh, my God, John, you're so annoying. Great, dude.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, Ms. John.
Bobby Bones
But annoying.
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
Oh, but annoying when you do that crap.
Sam Mullins
Let's take a break. Let's take a break. Let's do a mid roll and.
Morgan
But wait, we're 10 away from 500. We're 6 away from 500.
Sam Mullins
Lunchbox, why do you cover your hands?
Bob Pittman
Oh, 500.
Morgan
Oh, we passed it.
Sam Mullins
Oh, 500.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, you're.
Bobby Bones
We still need 500.
Bob Pittman
I was thinking.
Sam Mullins
You were saying. Me too. So was I. I thought she was saying that.
Morgan
No, I was trying to say we're.
Jewel
We are halfway.
Morgan
We have 500 left. Less than 500 left.
Sam Mullins
Subscribers. Yes.
June
That we need.
Sam Mullins
Okay, we'll come back. Let's go ahead and break off, and we'll be 484. Thank you, lunchbox. The guy loves a triangle with some numbers in it. We'll be. We'll be back. Bones.
Larison Campbell
There's a type of soil in Mississippi called Yazoo clay. It's thick, burnt orange, and it's got a reputation.
Jewel
It's terrible, terrible dirt.
Larison Campbell
Yazoo clay eats everything, so things that get buried there tend to stay buried until they're not. In 2012, construction crews at Mississippi's biggest hospital made a shocking discovery.
Bob Pittman
7,000 bodies out there or more, all.
Larison Campbell
Former patients of the old state asylum, and nobody knew they were there.
Sam Mullins
It was my family's mystery.
Larison Campbell
But in this corner of the south, it's not just the soil that keeps secrets.
Sam Mullins
Nobody talks about it. Nobody has any information.
Larison Campbell
When you peel back the layers of Mississippi's Yazoo clay, nothing's ever as simple as you think.
Jewel
The story is much more complicated and nuanced than that.
Larison Campbell
I'm Larison Campbell. Listen to Under Yazoo Clay on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
Jewel
Are your ears bored?
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Jewel
Are you looking for a new podcast that will make you laugh, learn and say que?
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Then tune in to locatora radio season 10 today.
Sam Mullins
Okay.
Jewel
I'm Diosa. I'm Mala, the host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a.
Bobby Bones
Very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a miniseries, totally nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s.
Jewel
It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres. You could turn on the tv, you see Thalia, you see jlo, Nina Skye, Evie Queen. All the girlies doing their thing. All of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to locatora radio season 10.
Bobby Bones
Now that's what I call a podcast.
Jewel

Roger Caron
In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published. And he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen.
Jewel
Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted.
Damian Maldonado
Has spent 24 of those years in.
Jewel
Jail, 12 years in solitary.
Roger Caron
He went from an ex con to a literary darling almost overnight.
Sam Mullins
He was instantly a celebrity, he was.
Bobby Bones
An adrenaline junkie, and he was the.
Sam Mullins
Star of the show.
Roger Caron
Goboy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable.
Sam Mullins
I had a knife within my stomach, puncture my stomach clean, break my rib.
Bobby Bones
I had my guts all in my.
Roger Caron
Hands, only to find himself back where he started.
Sam Mullins
Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one.
Roger Caron

Sam Mullins
We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is that. I thought it was. Oh, this is Fighting Words.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'll put the hammer back.
Sam Mullins
Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we are doing on Fighting Words. We're not gonna let anyone silence us.
Bob Pittman
That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of black history or queer history.
Sam Mullins
Any history that challenges the whitewashed norm or put us in a box. Black people have never ever depended on the so called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Damian Maldonado
Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. I'm excited to introduce a brand new season of my podcast Math and Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing. I'm having conversations with some interesting folks across a wide range of industries to hear how they reach the top of their fields and the lessons they learned along the way that everyone can use. I'll be joined by innovative leaders like chairman and CEO of Elf Beauty, Tarang Amin.
Sam Mullins
The way I approach risk is constantly try things and actually make it okay to fail.
Damian Maldonado
I'm sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and philanthropist Jewel.
Sam Mullins
I wanted a way to do something that I loved for the rest of my life.
Damian Maldonado
We're also hearing how leaders brought their businesses out of unprecedented times, like Stephan Bonsell, CEO of Moderna. He becomes a human decision to decide.
Sam Mullins
To throw by the window your business.
Damian Maldonado
Strategy and to do what you think.
Sam Mullins
Is the right thing for the world.

Sam Mullins
Bobby Bones. All right, let's run some voicemails down. Number one, please.
Lunchbox
Hi, Bobbi Bone Show. This is Jolene from Minnesota and I was listening to your podcast the other day about people with the last name A. Wiener. Well, I actually have that last name, so. Talk about growing up with that last name. In the 80s, as a kid in middle school, high school. Last name Wiener. You're the heaviest girl in your class with glasses. Wasn't fun. But the only thing I did tell my brother, if he ever had daughters, just please don't name her Anita.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, Wiener's tough.
Jewel
Oh gosh, Wieners tough.
Sam Mullins
I worked with a girl when I waited at tables. Her last name was Seaman. S C A N A N C M A N. Yeah, stuff that sucks, man. Like you probably just make the decision to not worry about the legacy of the family and change it if it's like Jonathan Harry Balls. What's your last name? Harry Balls. Is it your whole life?
Bob Pittman
I mean, it's funny how you remember those names. I had a girl I went to middle school with in high school. Her name was Dusty Bush.
Sam Mullins
Oh, my God.
Bob Pittman
That's pretty bad.
Jewel
Just because. Yeah, no, that was. Her name is fine. But it's like that part that got weird.
Sam Mullins
Exactly. Why did you hear that? Well, I knew her cousin, Stinky.
Bob Pittman
I was like.
Sam Mullins
But yeah, like, the combination is what hurts. That.
Bobby Bones
Do the parents know that? Like.
Sam Mullins
Well, that's also like a slang term generationally. Right. Because I think now 16 year olds aren't talking about Bush the way that people in the 70s and 80s and some of the 90s did.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but that was when he was in school.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. No, I'm just saying now, though, that name probably wouldn't have the impact. It probably still have some.
Bobby Bones
I think some parents like to be funny like that, though.
Sam Mullins
But that's not. That's funny. Like, not good. No, like sexual.
Bobby Bones
No.
Sam Mullins
Like, imagine being a kid, you're in 10th grade, 9th grade, and your name's Semen. That sucks for them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
Or you have it pronounced differently. Semen. Oh, good, Simon. But. But it looks. It still looks like Semen, but you just don't have it said. Because that way, if someone's over the airport, we're looking for Jonathan Seaman. Somebody's life is Semen.
Jewel
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
You know, it's so terrible. Frankie and us. That's. No, that's anus. Okay. Like, and that. That's tough. Or you put a letter in it and change the spelling just a little bit, where you can keep most of it, but it's set like Siemens. You know, even. That's tough. You put an H. Salmon or something. That's hard. That's. That's tough. Yeah. Sorry, Ms. Wiener. I'm sorry, Ms. Wiener. Boing. All right, next one. Ray.
Lunchbox
Hi there. I just want to say how much I enjoy the show. I'm sad that I only discovered I can listen to it all the time and not just on the radio. But now I'm hooked. It's been a little over a month. I love listening to you guys. You make me laugh, which I enjoy. I love Amy's Cornys. Everyone's great. I do really, really like Amy and Morgan's voice. But keep up the great work. I love the games. You guys make me laugh. And I so appreciate you.
Sam Mullins
Thank you. Chandra from Delaware. It's very nice of you. Next up, I was just calling in.
Lunchbox
Because I wanted to see if we could get an update on Amy reading Fourth wing. I decided to also read it when.
Jewel
She started and I'm now on the third book.
Lunchbox
Just wanted to know if she has finished it, if she's moved on to.
Jewel
Continue the series, what her rating is.
Sam Mullins
But, yeah, I think we've done that. We rated it.
Jewel
But I will say that in the middle of the book, I was definitely like, oh, I'm going to keep going. I'm going to keep going. And then when I got to the end and then like, White Lotus was happening and just like life and other things, like, I've now kind of lost steam and I'm like. So I go to the second book.
Sam Mullins
You did finish the first, though. And you. You rated that what?
Jewel
I think, like, probably four out five dragons. I don't remember my exact rating, but I'd give it around that for. I really was into it and a little bit like this dry. The sex stuff was a bit much for me. I don't know what happens in the second book. It doesn't bother me, but I'm not into smut. Is that what it's called?
Bobby Bones
What's that? What is that?
Sam Mullins
That's a really old term.
Bob Pittman
You don't know what smut is? And you call me an idiot?
Sam Mullins
I swear. But smut, I would say, is another slang term that's a bit dated, but some would be like sex. Like, sex.
Jewel
Like, I like. Unless it's like some of those romantic novels that have some of that. That's fine. This was like romantasy and the. Like the.
Sam Mullins
The what?
Jewel
The dragon.
Sam Mullins
Oh, the dragon.
Jewel
They're not. They're. No, no, no. The dragons are not involved the way you think that they are, but it's like they kind of are. It's weird.
Sam Mullins
You have four.
Jewel
I give it four. Yeah. And. And, you know, maybe if I get the other book, if I just go ahead and order it and I start it, I'm sure I'll be into it.
Sam Mullins
Next one. Ray.
Lunchbox
I was calling because I wanted to try to win Bobby's fancy shoes. The white ones with, like, the diamonds or whatever heat that are on them for my brother. My brother is a size 11, he's a firefighter and he gives so much to his family. And I thought, like, the fancy ones might be nice for him, like when he goes on his wife or goes to, like a nice event at the fire department. So please call me back if I can play a game to win some shoes for him. Thank you.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, we'll call you back. I mean, I don't know if a firefighter is going to like these.
Bobby Bones
You might.
Jewel
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Honestly, don't go fighting fighters fires with those.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, no, for sure. These are Alexander McQueen's and they have. They're white and you can see them on camera now.
Jewel
So.
Sam Mullins
They're awesome shoes. I think I've worn them once. They're very, very white. And on the back they have like little studs.
Bob Pittman
They do look like diamonds.
Sam Mullins
But these are like, if you buy them new, like 1,000 bucks. That's awesome. So I'm happy to let you play for them. Our lawyers don't let us just give stuff away and then also make other people play. So I'm happy to let you play. We'll get you on the phone next week and give it a rip.
Bobby Bones
That's sweet of her to think of her brother like that.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Unless you just want to win them and resell them. We don't.
Jewel
That's not what's happening.
Sam Mullins
But I'm just saying it could be. That's what I mean.
Bob Pittman
That's more business. Move.
Sam Mullins
Next up.
Lunchbox
Good morning, studio. Just listening to the podcast from last night and you're Talking about the 200 cattle missing in Colorado. I live in Kansas and we just went through this last year. My brother and a good friend of mine, they had maybe 50ish cattle just disappear and they never got them back. It's cattle wranglers. They're stealing them and taking them. Cattle market high right now and they're making lots of money.
Sam Mullins
Dang.
Bobby Bones
They're stealing cows.
Sam Mullins
200 though. It just seems like you would see something moving because it was a very brief amount of time when the 200 were gone. So it wasn't. And I'm sure, I really don't think it's aliens. I'm sure it's a sophisticated way they're able to smuggle still these cows. But with 200 cows, they're so big. You just think even at night, in the middle of the night, you would see some lights or an automobile in the area where the cows are being stolen. Because once the cows started to be stolen, people started to look for more cows being stolen and they weren't able to see the cows being stolen.
Jewel
Maybe it's the cartel.
Sam Mullins
But again, you should be able to see something.
Jewel
They built underground tunnels.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, or. Or aliens. One more. Ray.
Lunchbox
Hey, Bobby, I'm from Texas and I'm.
Jewel
In Arkansas and I don't know what's.
Sam Mullins
Up with these speed trap things that.
Lunchbox
You got in your woo pig state. Anyways, just wanted to say that.
Jewel
Okay, bye.
Sam Mullins
I don't think it's as much of an Arkansas thing as it is a small town thing. There are speed traps everywhere in Arkansas. If you drive through, not interstate so much, but if a highway goes to a town, you know, in that mile and a half through the town, there's going to be a cop sitting at a gas station or behind a hill nailing people who don't know that the speed limit drops dramatically from the beginning to the end of the town. And boo, just nail, Boo, boo, boo, nail them. Because that money goes into the town.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
So I think it's a small town thing on a highway thing more than it is an Arkansas thing. But they're everywhere in Arkansas. If you're on a highway and you're going through a small town, you gotta slow down because they're looking for you.
Bobby Bones
So I think the best thing they do, though, is just put a cop car with no one in it. It makes everyone slow down.
Sam Mullins
But that's not the point. The point isn't to make people slow down for safety. The point is speed traps are not for safety. Speed traps are to make money for the small town. Yeah, there's a town here that has an old, old cop car that sits out, but it's old. And you.
Bobby Bones
I mean, the lights are like circular. I know what you're talking about.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. The Duke boys are running from the law.
Bobby Bones
The.
Sam Mullins
For a split second you're like, oh, but that's more for like, welcome to this town. It's kind of an old town. But yeah, we have them everywhere in Arkansas, so. But I think that's kind of a small town thing more than it is a specific state thing. A couple crashes. There was a helicopter crash yesterday into the Hudson River. Everybody died.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I saw it.
Jewel
Terrible.
Sam Mullins
A tourist helicopter carrying family members from Spain plunged into the Hudson river in New York City, killing six. It was the New York chartered chopper which was carrying a pilot, two adults, three children fell into the Hudson river this morning. I saw a small plane crash. Here's the thing about Twitter that kind of sucks now because Twitter is not. It's not near as good as it used to be. It's kind of disgusting because they do like deaths on there too. It's not even just they have nudity on Twitter now. They show deaths on Twitter and so you'll see cars explode with people in them.
Bobby Bones
People get.
Sam Mullins
People get.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I saw somebody get run over.
Sam Mullins
It's gross.
Bobby Bones
That was pretty bad.
Sam Mullins
Twitter sucks. I love. I'm still on it, but it's still. Was awesome. It sucks. Now a small plane crashes in Boca Raton, Florida. Three people on board. So small crash. This isn't again, something wrong with the system. This is just small private planes and helicopters. But it makes the news because there have been so many, although there hadn't been any in a while. I mean, it still sucks for the people in the plane and their families, but I did see both of those. Small plane with three people on board crashed in Boca Raton on Friday morning. According to local police, the Cessna 310R took off from Boca Raton, was headed to Tallahassee. It was in the air for a little less than 20 minutes before it crashed. Dylan Smith was at his office when he saw the plane flying extremely low, appearing like it would hit a roof of a nearby building. Quote, I saw the plane basically turn, come back. I heard it and saw it go over our building. Smith said, and this is from ABC News. He lost sight of the plane. It came back, but it was looking like maybe it was going to the nearby Boca Raton Airport. I saw it drop below trees and heard a boom. Video shows what appears to be the plane's wreckage on railroad track. Did it say, Mike, will you scroll the headline again? It just has people on board right there. It's not reporting three people on board, but no deaths yet. I just. If I'm gonna read the story, I'll just read what it'll say. Death. Okay. Hopefully nobody died in that.
Bobby Bones
That'd be amazing.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Cuz it looks like it might have really. Ah, it sucks. The top five con artists that fooled the world. Which by the way, where we had on followers.
Bobby Bones
We're so close.
Morgan
Yeah. 2998-70.
Sam Mullins
So 130. Yes.
Bobby Bones
Dude, we need 130. How much time do we have?
Sam Mullins
12 minutes.
Bobby Bones
Oh wait, 12 minutes. We can do this. 130 subscribers.
Sam Mullins
Break it down. How many do you need a minute?
Morgan
I need them to post because I've been posting everywhere.
Bob Pittman
What do you mean?
Sam Mullins
I did.
Bob Pittman
I posted on Instagram. That's all I have.
Morgan
It's not.
Sam Mullins
No, you do.
Bobby Bones
I'm working.
Sam Mullins
Take my phone. What do you think I'm doing? What's the deal with the phone? Take my phone. Please do it.
Jewel
Just something.
Sam Mullins
Eddie. You can do it.
Bobby Bones
What do you want me to do here, woman?
Sam Mullins
I literally don't care. I don't want to lose the money because we're going to hit it anyway. And if we don't hit it before we get off, what do I post?
Morgan
Just anything like, hey, go.
Bobby Bones
I literally go subscribe right now please. YouTube Bobby Bone Show. We need 130 followers or subscribers. There we go. I posted.
Sam Mullins
But yeah, you put a link.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'll do that right now.
Sam Mullins
Oh my gosh.
Morgan
I literally even tested my family group.
Sam Mullins
I'd kill both of them. You're in the middle of like this is my everyday. You're the meat in a sandwich. That is in different ways.
Bob Pittman
Like what are you talking about? I was cornering people at the corner.
Sam Mullins
I'm not talking about just this. It's always something from one of you two.
Bobby Bones
What?
Sam Mullins
Like you don't answer emails. She's asking you to he.
Bobby Bones
I answer emails.
Sam Mullins
Has friggin herpes in his throat or whatever.
Bobby Bones
That's gross. Yeast effects.
Sam Mullins
Like he comes in sick all the time. He has just sit next to him now.
Bob Pittman
The east is so much better, guys.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Okay, here we go. Top five con artists that fooled the world. This is pretty good. Christian Karl Gerhardstrider. AKA Clark Rockefeller. Known for pretending to be a Rockefeller family member. That's hilarious because his name is Christian Karl Gehrstreiter.
Bobby Bones
That's funny.
Sam Mullins
AKA Clark Rockefeller. Originally from Germany, he posed as Clark Rockefeller, living among the wealthy elite, marrying into a high society family and even kidnapping his own daughter. After the divorce. Using a fake pedigree and posh behavior, he embedded himself in high society with no one questioning his roots. What year was this? He eventually was linked to a decades old murder in California under a different alias. Like this dude was living crazy lives. A murder. What year was that? Like 20s or 30s, 40s. Like Rockefellers were the richest people in the world for a long period of time. Number four, Victor Lustig. He sold the Eiffel Tower twice. Didn't own it though.
Bobby Bones
Who, who would buy that from him?
Sam Mullins
Somebody looking for a deal, buddy. In the 1920s, Lustig convinced scrap metal dealers in Paris the government was secretly selling the Eiffel Tower for parts. That is funny.
Bobby Bones
That's funny.
Sam Mullins
He pulled it off not once, but twice. He used forged documents, fake government credentials, and a calm official tone that seemed legit. Now this is also the 20s, so a tone would get you a lot. He also conned Al capone out of $5,000. Whoa. And didn't get murdered.
Bob Pittman
Oh, that's lucky.
Sam Mullins
5,000 bucks back then was probably 100. Now he sold the Eiffel Tower twice. That's so funny. Once is funny twice as hilarious. Next up, number three is Elizabeth Holmes. She is Elizabeth Holmes.
Jewel
Yeah. There are no's Thera Nos.
Sam Mullins
This is my blood testing company known for founding Therapy.
Jewel
She did that with her voice to.
Sam Mullins
Have people respect her.
Jewel
I mean, but she went, you don't need to go that deep.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't respect that.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, you'd be like, you'd remember it.
Bobby Bones
I'd be like, what's wrong with your voice?
Jewel
Why are you talking like that?
Sam Mullins
She claimed her company could run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood. She raised nearly $1 billion and partnered with Walgreens. But the technology never worked. She mirrored Steve Jobs style, meaning her clothes. She spoke in a dupe voice. She knew how to court powerful investors. She was once named one of Forbes richest self made women before it all unraveled. So this is what I'll say about Elizabeth Holmes is that if she's on the con artist list, there are many of these tech, quote, con artists that actually figured it out in the middle of being a con artist. If you give her more time and you don't find out, she probably eventually figures it out.
Jewel
Yes.
Sam Mullins
But because they, she didn't have enough time, she was getting some money. Like they didn't start. The Eiffel Tower guy had the thought, I'm going to sell the Eiffel Tower from the beginning. Like this is going to, I'll make a lot of money. I'm cheating everybody out of everything. I fully believe that she did not start doing this as a grift. She wasn't trying to scam people out of money. It got to the point where she had to make a decision and that's where the dishonesty, then the illegal activity came in and you can't, you go to jail. But I don't think she started that to go, let's screw over a lot of people in their money. Eiffel Tower guy for sure. Clark Rockefeller for sure.
Jewel
The problem is when people start putting their own health on the line and they're like relying on these tests for information. It's like, at what point do you.
Sam Mullins
Oh yeah, there's a point.
Jewel
Because it's not just about I get to your investors like, okay, you know, trying to figure it out and they're investing, you're stringing them along. But then you have people that are actually going in to get these tests done and there's no risk.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, there's a point where you have to make a very difficult decision on if you want to continue illegally. Because I do not think that she had started with the idea of I'm going to scam and do anything illegal. It was, we're going to figure this out. Then it was overly committed to. And then all of a sudden, you ran above, and you're like, what do I do? And then she made the wrong decision, the illegal decision. That hurt a lot of people. That. But I think she's different than the other two and that she. But all crimes, all bad. But she didn't go into it thinking she was going to be bad. Anna Sorkin. But Anna Delvey put it on my father's card, pretending to be a German heiress in New York City. Famous from. Well, Netflix did a series called Inventing Anna. She tricked New York's elite out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, claiming she had a $60 million trust fund. See, I'd be like this. I know I'd be like this, because I did this with somebody. I would go, will you log into your account? Let me see. You're rich.
Jewel
You did that to somebody.
Sam Mullins
No, I'll tell you the story in a second. But if she is acting rich and getting all this free stuff, people are just believing her. Before I give her anything else, I'll be like, I need you to prove to me you're. Pull up your account. What do you got? Bank of America regions. Log into it. Let me. Let me see something here. And then I'm happy, because if you have this money, I want to trust you. You're gonna pay me back. Because that was the whole thing.
Bobby Bones
She would ask to borrow money.
Sam Mullins
Well, they would give her stuff, thinking they were going to get stuff because she's rich.
Jewel
Or she would be like, hey, let's go on this trip. And she's inviting someone to come. So they're assuming, oh, I don't. She knows my career, my job. I can't pay for this. She's inviting me. And then when she gets there, she'll be like, oh, shoot. The hotel tried to run my card. There's confusion. Can we just put down your card? I'll pay you back, or we'll switch the cards or whatever.
Sam Mullins
She has money, and it's a relationship you want to keep with this person who's rich, right? So, yeah. So she chartered jets, almost secured millions for a fake arts club. She mixed just enough truth with fiction and preyed on people's fear of missing out on a major opportunity. Because people are like, oh, wow. Like Amy said, okay, I don't want to. I don't want you to not be in my friend. So I'm happy to cover it here.
Jewel
Or like, yeah, sure, you're good for it. And then she would just never be good. There's One. One of those. That friend in particular, I think, that I'm thinking about from that trip, she ended up putting down her work credit card because the Anna was like, it's not going to go through. The bill's not going to go through. Well, then her work credit card gets this massive charge. So then she loses her job and she has this huge credit card bill that she cannot pay. So it really screwed her.
Sam Mullins
Like that other guy in the 20s had tone that people trusted him for. She had very convincing rich girl energy.
Jewel
Mm. Yeah.
Sam Mullins
Very dang.
Jewel
Yeah. Obviously it's so convincing when you say Bella to my father.
Bobby Bones
These are just gutsy people.
Sam Mullins
Oh, yeah, Way gutsy.
Jewel
Way more courageous and delusional.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, but I mean, just the guts to even do it over and over and over.
Jewel
Like the apple cider vinegar girl. Like, she did some interview later because she scammed people into saying, like, yeah, eat this way and it'll take away your cancer. And she also was lying about her age. Like a weird thing to lie about. Like, she was. And when Australian, I believe, news reporter was interviewing her, asking her age, and she. She said to the reporter, she's like, well, in my mind, I am 26. And the reporter's like, but come on, like, what's your age? And like, she couldn't budge from that.
Sam Mullins
In my mind, your honor, in my mind, I didn't rob the bank.
Jewel
Right. So in my. In her mind. So now she's saying, like, in her mind, she did have cancer, and in her mind, she did cure herself.
Sam Mullins
This is like lunchbox arguing with the philosophy. In my mind. No.
Bob Pittman
Yes. That show.
Sam Mullins
Oh. So here's the thing. I was the company. Remember last year when they sent me to France to go and speak?
Jewel
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
It was so last minute. And I was like, what? And like, we want you to go. Where did I go?
Jewel
Can. That's right. Can or can. Can.
Sam Mullins
I believe Can.
Jewel
Can. You went to can.
Sam Mullins
I don't remember now.
Bobby Bones
I know, but when you came back.
Sam Mullins
When I got there, they were saying it one of the two ways. I was like, I'm never gonna forget this because every once in a while it comes up. I've now forgotten how it's said by the locals. We'll call it can for now. So hold on.
Jewel
Cans or can?
Sam Mullins
The S. A lot of times when other countries say and have it doesn't exist, but we put it on, even if we're pronouncing it the same. So I don't know. I literally.
Jewel
I'm just saying I want to know so that I really don't ever forget again.
Sam Mullins
I think it just said can.
Jewel
Okay. Can.
Bobby Bones
It's not possible.
Sam Mullins
Like, looks like just Cannes. Okay.
Jewel
Okay. Can. You went to Cannes.
Sam Mullins
Great. So the company's like, we need you to go and speak a couple times and meet with these clients. And usually if that happens, I'm, like, going to Atlanta or New York, occasionally Los Angeles. And then I'm back, like, same day, but France, I was like, what? And so I do. And I'm there. And this whole. The whole beach, like, every hotel for miles, this is a festival where it's not music, but it's all these businesses that come out, so that's what they do. Everybody goes out and makes deals, and all these media companies present what they're doing. Yeah, that's cool. I wish. I can't remember the name of what it is.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox. You've never been to that.
Jewel
You're a businessman making business deals.
Sam Mullins
So. And, like, you know, Iheart had. We had a whole building on the beach. Like, Facebook had a thing. It's just all the way down. Right. And so I was talking with the chief marketing officer of bank of America, and that's cool. She was. And she's awesome. She lives in Boston.
Lunchbox
Her.
Sam Mullins
And I still text. Her husband's like, a big golfer, and, you know, they're big Celtics fans. And so I had that, like, to talk about first before we talked to any business. And I was like. She was like, baba, do you even use bank of America? And I was like, yeah. And she was like, prove it. I was like, all right. Logged right in front of her. So that's what I do with Anna Delvey.
Bobby Bones
Good thing you didn't lie, dude.
Sam Mullins
I wouldn't lie.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that would have been crazy. But I wouldn't lie on your phone.
Bob Pittman
Download app. Download app.
Bobby Bones
I must have deleted.
Sam Mullins
No, but I logged in and was like, yeah, here's. But, yeah, I wouldn't have lied.
Bobby Bones
I guess people have lied for her to do that.
Sam Mullins
I would have said it instead of lying. I would have never said I had an account to begin with. I'd been like, I can't wait to start one with you guys. Oh, yeah, it had been that. I just. Yeah, I don't want to get caught in a lie. Then the number one con artist of fool the world, Frank Abengale Jr. Amy, do you know. You do know who that is? But do you know who that is? Frank Abagnale Jr. Abagnale. Yeah. Frank Abagnale Jr.
Jewel
Okay. No, I mean, it's not coming to me.
Sam Mullins
Context of the segment we're doing banks.
Jewel
Was he a bank robber? Bank scammer.
Sam Mullins
Okay, that's in the context lunchbox.
Bob Pittman
The guy from Catch Me if youf Can.
Jewel
Oh, that's. Yeah, I did. Yeah. Mm. Wait, that's it. That's his name?
Bob Pittman
No, no.
Sam Mullins
Leo.
Jewel
Bernardo DiCaprio.
Sam Mullins
Leah Bernardo DiCaprio.
Jewel
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
Known for impersonating a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer all before age 21.
Jewel
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
He's famous from.
Jewel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Frank.
Sam Mullins
He's famous for Catch Me if youf can, the movie based on his life. He forged checks worth millions. He flew.
Jewel
I'm just kidding. Now I'm just playing along with it.
Sam Mullins
He flew around the world in jump seats of planes pretending to be a pilot. That's ballsy.
Bobby Bones
Ballsy.
Bob Pittman
A pilot that's so crazy.
Bobby Bones
Just a liar.
Sam Mullins
And even passed a bar exam to pose as an attorney.
Bobby Bones
What?
Sam Mullins
His charm, youth, and confidence allowed him to game institutions for years. He was eventually hired by the FBI to help check other scammers and forgers. Yeah, he flipped that on.
Bob Pittman
That's pretty cool.
Sam Mullins
That's pretty cool.
Jewel
A bag now.
Sam Mullins
Are you all right?
Jewel
A bag now, right?
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Jewel
Yes, I'm all right.
Sam Mullins
All right.
Jewel
I just am bummed that I didn't remember.
Bob Pittman
You never seen it. It's really good.
Sam Mullins
Tom Hanks, too.
Bobby Bones
I know. It might be one of the few Tom Hanks movies I've never seen.
Sam Mullins
It's good. Yeah. I'm not even a movie guy. My Gun Holds up movie. I'm surprised that he hasn't seen it. And because it's like 78% true. It's pretty cool because all those movies take a little liberty because you really don't know what's happening behind closed doors.
Bob Pittman
Well, there's only 78%.
Sam Mullins
Any movie that's based on a true story isn't fully true because you don't know conversations people are having. So I have to write a bunch of.
Bobby Bones
You make that up.
Sam Mullins
A bunch of dialogue.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, I found that out about a show I watched recently, but I won't say which one it is.
Sam Mullins
That's good. Thank you. The Tanner House from full household for $6 million.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Sam Mullins
Who went to the wrong house? Amy? I did take a picture. In front of it or just of it?
Jewel
No, I went and sat on the stoop.
Sam Mullins
Did you take a picture sitting on the stoop? Of you?
Jewel
Yeah. My husband and I were in San Francisco. My husband at the time. And I went to the stoop, and I was, like, trying to pose and take all these pictures. And then we realized it was the wrong house.
Sam Mullins
The San Francisco house that belonged to the fictional Tanner family, which, by the way, they didn't shoot the show inside the house. It was just used as the out. Some people think they shot the. That's where they did the show. No, no, that was just that when they showed the beginning, you know, that.
Bobby Bones
Goes with opening all the houses.
Jewel
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
Like Roseanne. They weren't in Lanford, Illinois.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Sam Mullins
To shoot the show. They shot the exteriors.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. And then there was a set, right?
Sam Mullins
Yes. In LA, but. Yeah. Sold for about 6 million bucks.
Bobby Bones
So the neighbors.
Sam Mullins
It sold for 4 million in 2024. No, 2016 sold 4 million. This one sold for 6 million.
Bobby Bones
You probably don't know the answer, but did the. I'm assuming the value of the neighbors increases a little bit.
Sam Mullins
Right.
Bobby Bones
When that one sells for so much.
Sam Mullins
So I don't know. But I would consider the fact that it's annoying that everybody wants to get in front of the house, that the value may not go up because people don't want to buy it because they don't always want people in front of their house when they're actually in front of the other house.
Bobby Bones
Gosh, that's tough.
Sam Mullins
So I don't really have an answer to that because you're right. If one house goes up in value a lot in a couple, it does. You know, Rising Tide. It does bring the value up. And in states where they have property tax, it actually makes people move from neighborhoods, which sucks.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
Because they can't afford the property tax now because other people have moved in and did full demo and full repo on it. Or not repo. You don't take it, but you rebuild a house. Yeah, that sucks. The Breaking Bad house, Renault, do we go to that? It's in Albuquerque. But I didn't.
Bobby Bones
You sure? We drove.
Sam Mullins
I didn't. You might have. I didn't. I don't go anywhere, man.
Bobby Bones
I feel like we made Justin the suit drive through there.
Sam Mullins
3.995 million.
Bobby Bones
I think we did, dude. I think we did. You might have been asleep maybe. Maybe in the front seat, but I think we did drive by there.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, I don't know about that. How we feel in Morgan. What's the count?
Bob Pittman
So, man, we're so close.
Sam Mullins
I got a couple other stories and we'll go.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, we're going to keep going. We're going to.
Sam Mullins
How many do you need, lunchbox?
Bob Pittman
84.
Sam Mullins
How many?
Bob Pittman
84.
Bobby Bones
84.
Sam Mullins
Oh, you can get that I have two stories left. We get 84 subscribers in these two stories.
Bobby Bones
It's very easy. You go to Bobby bones show on YouTube and you just click subscribe. That's all we need.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, we haven't had any ad.
Sam Mullins
We pulled the Weezer story up. First of all, I'm gonna say Weezer.
Bob Pittman
Oh, went up one.
Sam Mullins
Thank goodness Weezer is still scheduled to play Coachella. Is it tomorrow? Coachella tomorrow? They're playing tomorrow. I think it started today or yesterday.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Okay.
Sam Mullins
So the bassist and Weezer's wife was shot by the cops, but only after the big dramatic situation that happened. Before that, I was. I sent Eddie some videos from the porch.
Bobby Bones
Crazy dude.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Cuz I'm just gonna read this so I don't mess up any of the facts here. This is from People. The rockers wife Jillian, who's facing an attempted murder charge after firing at an officer, was arrested earlier this week, but has since been released from custody on a one million dollar bond. Weezer still playing tomorrow despite bassist Scott Shriner's wife being shot and arrested by police earlier this week. Gillian, who is facing an attempted murder charge after firing her gun at an officer, has been released. She's all right. Thank you for asking. See you at Coachella, the musician said. So the incident took place during a manhunt when officers were searching for three suspects allegedly involved in a hit and run who had fled the neighborhood where they lived. The Shriners, the bass player and his wife. So you with me so far?
Jewel
Yes.
Sam Mullins
Okay, so she had no involvement in the hit and run is the weird thing. They're looking for that. But she, from what I know, she had nothing to do with the hit and run, but she was armed and fired her weapon at an officer while in a backyard, which then they're like, wait, somebody fired us? And they went and they arrested her and they shot her first.
Bobby Bones
They shot her first and then arrested her.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, then she went back inside and then she came back out.
Sam Mullins
It's just crazy because all that I read was she was not involved in what they were looking for and that she shot at the cops. But what happened in the middle of what Mike did you see? They haven't said. It just went from that guy trying to get away. I think he was like posing in a backyard, like pretending he was like in the pool or garden.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, he took off his and gotten his. He was swimming.
Bobby Bones
Hilarious.
Sam Mullins
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
But her, I think she claims she was defending her property from the police. That's why I don't understand. She had to like, because I could.
Sam Mullins
Understand if she shot at the guy. That's where the details murky. It's not like. Like, what happened in between of, like, him. Did he run through the yard? She shot at him, but then it went towards where the police were.
Bob Pittman
But there's, like. I guess there's videos of the cops telling her, hey, put the weapon down. Put the weapon down. Put the weapon down. And she doesn't put the weapon down.
Jewel
Well, she's obviously now not in her rational brain, but one doesn't have to.
Sam Mullins
Do with the other, though, like, that. Those can be separate incidents. She can shoot at a guy in the backyard. I'm just gonna make that situation up because he was the hidden. He was around there, right? Like, he was trying to blend suspect. He's basically going, cartoons.
Bobby Bones
You just whistle this pool hanging out by the pool.
Sam Mullins
So let's say she was scared and shot at him, and it went near a police officer where they felt like they were shot at.
Bob Pittman
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Sam Mullins
That's the first situation that really had not a lot to do with the situation when they came to her and got her out of the house.
Bob Pittman
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
And then she went back independent because you go. If you're. You called out after you shot, you go, no, I was trying to shoot at that guy.
Bob Pittman
And when they say, put the gun down, you. You put the gun down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam Mullins
She refused, and she got popped, and they shot her. She didn't die.
Bob Pittman
I popped her in the shoulder.
Sam Mullins
Pretty marksman shooting. Like, good job by those cops.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, good job.
Sam Mullins
She didn't deserve to die. And then she didn't. And she got shot because they felt unsafe. Like, good job.
Bobby Bones
And I would think, too, that, like, the bassist of Weezer would feel good about it as far as, like, if they were in trouble or if it was really bad. I don't think they'd play a show. But he must, like, feel like, you know what? This will probably blow over. We'll probably have to go to court or do some stuff, but let's just keep on with life.
Sam Mullins
But I mean, she. No, she got shot and she shot. That's different than just blow over. It doesn't blow over if she gets shot.
Bobby Bones
Why is he just like, we're good, man. See you.
Sam Mullins
Coachella could be money. Like, Coachella pays a lot. They're one of the headlining bands. He was also really nice to me when I met him.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Super nice. You remember, he was the nicest. Yeah.
Jewel
So she's. She's an author of several books, including Behold The Monster Confronting America's Most Prolific Serial Killer. She wrote that book.
Bob Pittman
Oh, good.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Bob Pittman
Like, did it sell a lot? Like, is she, like, a real author?
Sam Mullins
Like.
Bob Pittman
Or did she just wrote some books?
Bobby Bones
Like, that's ironic.
Jewel
Dark book.
Sam Mullins
She was diagnosed with cancer. She announced in March she was recovering from a hysterectomy when the incident happened. She had two back surgeries.
Jewel
Oh, my.
Sam Mullins
I mean, she could have. Listen, all this could have been rooted in prescription pain. Sure. But we don't know. My whole thing is it just doesn't match.
Bob Pittman
It's wild.
Jewel
Doesn't match at all.
Sam Mullins
Why shoot? Why shoot? Are you shooting at the person? Are you shooting at the cops? If you're shooting at the cops, why are you shooting at the cops? Number two.
Bobby Bones
And then go into your house, you.
Sam Mullins
Come out, and you're like, oh, there's been a crazy misunderstanding. I was shooting at the person that you guys are looking for, not continue it by going back. And then you get. But if you're not in your right mind, because then. Yeah, again, there's not enough. Everything's unclear. But that was a crazy story.
Bob Pittman
And the babysitter got arrested, Right? I don't understand that. I didn't understand that.
Sam Mullins
There's a lot that we don't know.
Bobby Bones
They're a babysitter.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. Like, they both had to come out with their hands up and get down on the ground.
Bobby Bones
Oh, she was the other one in the video.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, that was the other lady. That's pretty crazy. I just thought it was wild, like.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, well, just because it's Weezer's bass player.
Bob Pittman
No, not just because it's that. It's just crazy that I don't think.
Sam Mullins
The story makes it this far, though.
Bobby Bones
It's not.
Sam Mullins
Somebody famous.
Bobby Bones
Happened in Toledo.
Sam Mullins
Yeah, right.
Bob Pittman
That's a good point.
Sam Mullins
All right, Morgan, we're going to need.
Bob Pittman
To stall for another hour.
Sam Mullins
How many more? Do it. Yeah, I can't do an hour. I can do, like, I have one more story.
Bob Pittman
Oh, we just went up big.
Bobby Bones
We need 68.
Sam Mullins
How many need.
Bob Pittman
Morgan?
Morgan
Yeah, we need 65.
Sam Mullins
All right, well, so close. This will be the final story.
Bob Pittman
We're not gonna get there. Oh, my gosh.
Sam Mullins
I've even given you an hour and a half extra.
Bob Pittman
This. This girl.
Morgan
Guys, I need you to. Suppose I send stuff in my group, my family group chat. I went on my personal Facebook page. I went everywhere.
Sam Mullins
And you know what?
Bob Pittman
You guys didn't. I mean, we did post. I went out and grabbed people at the grocery store and made them pull out Their phone kind of scared them.
Sam Mullins
You did that for a bit though, too.
Bob Pittman
But I also made them do it.
Jewel
I'm telling you.
Sam Mullins
Okay. I wonder. The Chinese restaurant story.
Jewel
Somebody needs.
Sam Mullins
This will be the final story of.
Bob Pittman
Oh, man, this is so sad.
Morgan
Dang, we're so close.
Sam Mullins
Last month, police raided the Talk Slower Jin Gu Chinese restaurant. It's since been closed down, is now under investigation. Authorities found the roasted duck that people thought they were eating was really just pigeon, not duck. Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Pigeon. This is crazy because you can't just buy a pigeon.
Bob Pittman
Oh, you gotta get off the street.
Sam Mullins
In addition, cops found meat strips hanging from clothes. Horses, unlabeled meat. Oh, of course, if you're doing pigeon, you're doing other stuff. Pigeons, you're not just only doing pigeon.
Bob Pittman
Oh, God.
Sam Mullins
Yeah. Oh.
Bobby Bones
And you just call it roasted pigeon.
Sam Mullins
If you're going pigeon, you got other things happening too. And fish stored in non functioning freezers, roaches, rat traps and other violations that would obviously probably not pass inspection. This is from Lad Bible, but yeah, Rest in peace to Jinju Chinese restaurant.
Bobby Bones
Man, I wonder if people would go there and just like, this is really good duck.
Bob Pittman
Well, that was the shortest story ever. There has to be more detail. You might want to reread it.
Sam Mullins
Look at. Look how long it is.
Bobby Bones
Nothing else on there.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, I mean, so what was the fried rice? Yeah, what was the fried rice? What was going on with that, man?
Sam Mullins
Shortest.
Bob Pittman
I don't want to be disappointed with our listeners, but I'm getting pretty disappointed with our listeners.
Bobby Bones
I would actually like to thank our listeners, the ones that did subscribe.
Jewel
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Very nice of you guys.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. But what about the ones that didn't? Dude, like.
Sam Mullins
Well, some.
Bob Pittman
Oh my God.
Sam Mullins
Something I think we should do next week because there is a bigger goal too.
Bob Pittman
Yeah.
Sam Mullins
We don't hit this. No. By September 1st, you need 200,000 more. And then somebody will get like $3,000 or something. I don't remember what I said.
Bobby Bones
I think we all get 3,000.
Sam Mullins
No, that's not what it was. It was either you can split it up a thousand thousand thousand or one of you get 3500, which the 500 added because of the.
Bobby Bones
Understand why there's a third in this whole deal.
Bob Pittman
But what I have done so much more than you getting these subscribers.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to fight with you, Lunchbox.
Sam Mullins
I would agree with him. Like, you kind of. You kind of sucked at the subscriber part.
Bobby Bones
What have I done? As soon as we happen, I was the first one that called the meeting.
Sam Mullins
We shot a video immediately. I hear you watching your post that on your social act like there's no worth to. The fact that he just screams stuff is making it obvious that it even exists to do.
Bobby Bones
I see what you're saying.
Sam Mullins
The fact that he's publicized it, that he's posting about it, that he's here yelling at you about it. I would say he's been more than you.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Sam Mullins
But you're both needed and you're both integral parts of this.
Bob Pittman
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
I thought we would be, but that.
Sam Mullins
Was my strategy to include him is because I knew he would be the loudest about it.
Morgan
And he is. I do appreciate Lunchbox for that fact. He's been. He's been great. He has posted more than Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Why are we calling each other out?
Bob Pittman
You're the one that started it.
Sam Mullins
Where are we at?
Bob Pittman
Only 45.
Sam Mullins
Hey, Mike. How many. So here's what we should do next week on the. On the channel. How many. What was the basketball bet we made with Amy? Do you have that anywhere? Because there's a. There's a court. And it's also. Yeah, it's also the playoffs. Basketball playoffs starting. We go stream from the court near my house.
Bobby Bones
Go.
Sam Mullins
There's outdoor courts, and we can actually see if Amy can make like 10, three pointers in an hour or whatever it was.
Bob Pittman
I think it was like 30.
Sam Mullins
I think it was 30. Whatever it was. I just want to go with what we said because we'll all change the rules if we're gauging how we feel now.
Bob Pittman
I would never change the rules.
Sam Mullins
So I think that's probably next week. We do that. We can stream that.
Morgan
Yeah. And we literally. We were going to stream. I was going to dunk their faces in ice. I was going to try the banana peel on their skin, and we were gonna do Chubby Bunnies.
Sam Mullins
I think we hit it. If you. If they'll commit to letting you cook it with the balls. If they.
Jewel
Yes.
Sam Mullins
If. In the next three minutes.
Jewel
Guys, this is the kind of stuff people want.
Morgan
Wait, did you bring your BB gun?
Bobby Bones
No. I can get it, though. To I.
Sam Mullins
Well, Morgan wants. What's the. How many. As of right now, we need 40 more.
Bobby Bones
But that's okay. We can do it next week. I'll shoot him with a BB gun next.
Jewel
We're giving the balls right now.
Bob Pittman
I am not doing that. That's not worth 100 bucks.
Sam Mullins
All right.
Bobby Bones
That'll hurt forever.
Sam Mullins
And how bad?
Bobby Bones
Refresh. Refresh.
Bob Pittman
Morgan, it's dead, dude. We. We. Our listeners suck.
June
They don't suck.
Sam Mullins
They did awesome.
Bobby Bones
They don't.
Sam Mullins
They did awesome.
Bob Pittman
They didn't do it like they.
Morgan
They got us so far, like 5,000 in.
Bob Pittman
Are you taking moral victories? Is that how you live your life? I don't. I don't live my life that way. It's wins and losses.
Sam Mullins
What is that? What's the refresh now?
Bobby Bones
40.
Sam Mullins
It's still 40.
Bob Pittman
No, we need 37.
Morgan
37. It's climbing. We're getting there.
