Announcer
Kenny Chesney.
- [03:43]
Bobby Bones
Kenny, good to see you, buddy.
- [03:44]
Kenny Chesney
Good to see you. Thanks for having me.
- [03:45]
Bobby Bones
Again, I regret not coming to the Sphere shows. I'm gonna tell you why. Two reasons why Multiple. One, because you were kind enough to just reach out and be like, you should come to the show. And I was like, I don't know. It's a long trip and it's a long trip. You know, it's a long trip. But I was like, I do like Kenny. I've seen him live, but I've talked to so many people who have gone that even I didn't know. I'll give you an example. I was talking to P.J. fleck, who's the head coach in Minnesota.
- [04:11]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah.
- [04:11]
Bobby Bones
He said he went out with Matt Rule, the coach in Nebraska, and he was like, it's the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. And I was like, I so regret not going. And then I saw that you just announced some new ones. Yeah, next year.
- [04:22]
Kenny Chesney
We're going to go next year.
- [04:23]
Bobby Bones
Well, now that it's over, what was your experience like doing those shows at the Sphere?
- [04:27]
Kenny Chesney
It was unlike anything we've ever done, you know, to be up there in that space and to have a lot of people come. Almost 90% of the people inside the Sphere was from out of town. Right. And it's people that have. Have lived with this music for a while, but they got to experience it all in a completely different way. All those songs in a completely different way. And we worked really hard to give them that experience. And believe it or not, we're already working for Next summer. Because it takes a minute to create all the stuff, you know, so. But it was. For us, it was just. It was a different neural pathway that we as a band needed. And it was. It was just an awesome, awesome. I think we did 12, 15 shows, something like that.
- [05:16]
Bobby Bones
Was it weird for you to do those shows and people not always be staring at you at first?
- [05:21]
Kenny Chesney
But I. I almost used it as a. A goal every night to bring them back over the fence. Because, look, it's human nature. I mean, us as a band, we went on stage and we're up there playing and we're going, wow, this is unbelievable.
- [05:37]
Bobby Bones
You're also watching the show.
- [05:38]
Kenny Chesney
We're also watching the show. We're like, oh, wow. You know, like, I forgot. I forgot what song it was. But on the first show, that's a song that I've sang forever. And, like, I've totally forgot the second verse. I was like, oh, wow, okay. In the middle of the song. So. But it was an unbelievable experience for us, and. And I think the fans that came out just had a great time. So I'm gonna change it up some.
- [06:02]
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna come, though, next time.
- [06:03]
Kenny Chesney
You gotta. Yeah, you gotta come and stay for.
- [06:05]
Bobby Bones
More than a day.
- [06:05]
Kenny Chesney
You know, make it worth it.
- [06:07]
Bobby Bones
What do you mean? Go two shows?
- [06:08]
Kenny Chesney
No, but just do something else.
- [06:10]
Bobby Bones
Oh, I get so dehydrated out there.
- [06:12]
Kenny Chesney
Okay. You're already talking yourself.
- [06:14]
Bobby Bones
I know I am.
- [06:15]
Eddie
That's what I do.
- [06:16]
Bobby Bones
I talk myself out of everything. You're right.
- [06:18]
Kenny Chesney
Not even Christmas yet.
- [06:19]
Bobby Bones
I know, I know. Okay. I got, like, many other things to talk about, so I was reading some of your book. There was a chapter, Chicken After Church. And in that chapter, you're talking about. And this related to me because I'm from Arkansas. We didn't have pro sports. And in that chapter, you're talking about how, like, Tennessee football, that's what it was. Because that's what you had, and that's why you can have a such a passion for it.
- [06:42]
Kenny Chesney
That's right.
- [06:42]
Bobby Bones
I think that's very familiar with people in rural parts of the country.
- [06:45]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah, especially. Yeah, no question. Especially when you. You live in a town that leans on certain things. And for us, it was school, it was church, it was family and football. And like you said, we didn't have a pro. Allegiance to anything. You know, for us to go see a baseball game, we had to go to either Cincinnati or Atlanta. And so, you know, Tennessee football was all we had. And when you go. When you listened, there was. There was a broadcaster Named John Ward. That was just a full key role throughout the state of Tennessee and throughout the Southeastern Conference. But as a kid, that's all I listened to, you know, and you have this idea of walking into a football stadium and what it's going to look like. And the first time I went with my father into that stadium, it was just the most unbelievable experience of my life.
- [07:35]
Bobby Bones
As a core memory, you can remember it.
- [07:36]
Kenny Chesney
Core memory, yes. Every. I can remember the smell. I just how excited I was, and just like, it was the biggest thing ever. And that's, you know, that's where my love of football started.
- [07:48]
Bobby Bones
Do you still on Saturdays, especially Because I do. Like, when Arkansas plays, I got. Don't nobody. I don't want to do anything except focus on that. Do you have that on Saturdays?
- [08:01]
Kenny Chesney
I don't like to watch football with a lot of people.
- [08:03]
Bobby Bones
I don't watch with anybody.
- [08:04]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah. Like, I get invited to a lot of football parties and stuff, and I go, no. I want to watch whatever game it is. I don't want to talk to anybody. I don't want anybody talking to me. And that's just the way it is.
- [08:16]
Bobby Bones
I'm not like that with life, though. Not just football, with anything, actually. I just want to be.
- [08:19]
Kenny Chesney
No, I like people like that.
- [08:20]
Bobby Bones
Nobody talk to me.
- [08:22]
Kenny Chesney
No, I like people around in my everyday life, when it's football and I care about the game, I don't want somebody just talking to me about random things.
- [08:32]
Bobby Bones
Whenever you decided to do a book and my experience with my books was to actually convey how I felt. I had to kind of relive some stuff and that maybe I avoided or maybe I forgot about, but holy crap, did it all come back like a ton of bricks at times?
- [08:48]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah. Like, in therapy, they tell you to keep telling the story, and every time you tell it, you remember something different.
- [08:53]
Bobby Bones
Yep. Well, how did that happen with this book? Like, what was it that you kind of revisited and that'd be emotional, but you're like, dang. Maybe it made you feel good, but you hadn't thought about in so long.
- [09:02]
Kenny Chesney
Well, it was just the connection of our audience. And when I got into those. Those places, it just made me think, like, we've been really busy for a long time, and it's been moving really fast. And so I got to this place where I was like, you know, I have all these people that did it with me, and I have all these people that championed my journey in a lot of ways, and I wanted to take a moment and honor them first. And then Write down what has happened to me, because now was the time I felt like. But there was a lot of. There was a lot of times that I was sitting with Holly Gleason and going, wow. When I. When I start thinking about my grandmother, I can remember the smell in her kitchen and the first time I heard country music. And I think it's in our lives, there are things that happen to us that seem like really small things at the time. And then you move forward in your life and you look back and go, wow, those really were big things that were guiding you to a specific place. And that was the way it was for me with. With music, you know, because there wasn't this one thing, like. But there was. I went to see Alabama. I saw. I lived with my grandmother when I was a kid, and I saw bluegrass music on her TV in the mornings, and I was like, wow, what is this? But then I had a ball glove in my hand the whole time, right? Because I thought sports was going to be my life. But little did I know that these seeds were being planted every now and then that led me to being this person.
- [10:35]
Bobby Bones
Will you talk more about the Alabama reference you made? Because even in the book, you talk about that a little bit. Seeing Alabama kind of changed your life. On how much you love country music.
- [10:44]
Kenny Chesney
I was a kid. I think I was 12. I'm not sure how old I was, but my mom loved the group Alabama. And when I was a kid, they were, like, the biggest thing going ever. And to us, they were the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. I mean, they really were, because they dressed like us and they sang songs about us and they sang that. We just loved them, you know, and all of a sudden, we get this. We see on TV and on the radio that they're coming to a farm, to a field about eight miles from our house. And it was the biggest thing that ever happened to me as a child. And I went to see them, and something happened inside my soul. It was just that. That set me on this path. Just internally, I was just stunned about how. How much they connected with the audience. And little did I know, you know, at that. At that night, that later on in my life, when I first got into the business, that their manager would become my manager. I mean, he was there that night. And the older I get, the more I see that we're all connected. The universe is pushing us in certain ways. And it was just crazy to think that that night I would become friends with those guys, go out on the road with them, and their manager would become my manager. And I benefited a lot from that. And that was one of the first times as a kid that I remember, like, going, wow, that's what I want to do. Right.
- [12:10]
Bobby Bones
What song would you hear from them? Because music has.
- [12:14]
Kenny Chesney
There was so many songs. Whereas Dixieland Delight, there was Tennessee river, there was Lady Down Love, there was.
- [12:20]
Bobby Bones
But if you heard it now, it remind you of, like, that experience.
- [12:24]
Kenny Chesney
Oh, if I heard it now, it remind me of that experience. And also, I was on the road with them for, like, three years.
- [12:29]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, right.
- [12:31]
Kenny Chesney
And I remember being in Reno, Nevada, with. With them, and I was watching their sound check, and I'd been out a couple years, and I hadn't been home in a while, and I was really tired. And Teddy Gentry, the bass player of Alabama, comes off stage and he goes, what's wrong with you? I said, I'm tired. He goes, wait till you've been out here 30 years, then you can be tired. And he was right.
- [12:54]
Bobby Bones
Whenever you're doing the interviews for this book, I'm assuming some days you go in and you're like, I got nothing. Like, I'm tapped out. I'm tired. I don't have many good stories. Any. Any great stories come from those days where you didn't really expect to have good stories.
- [13:08]
Kenny Chesney
What do you mean? Like, from.
- [13:10]
Bobby Bones
Like, from this book? You did a lot of interviews with Holly. Like, you guys talked a lot.
- [13:14]
Kenny Chesney
Yes, we talked a lot.
- [13:15]
Bobby Bones
And I know the feeling of having to, like, just pour it out and think, I got nothing in the tank today. There's nothing valuable here. And it turns out they find very valuable things that you didn't realize could be expanded upon so much.
- [13:27]
Kenny Chesney
One of the stories that I didn't know if he was even going to make the book is, when I was a kid, there was a basketball coach at the University of North Carolina named Dean Smith, and he had a basketball camp every year. And this is go. This goes back to all these moments that had. That pushed me in a certain direction that I didn't realize at the time was doing it. But I spent a week in Chapel Hill at D. Smith's basketball camp, and we all ate in the same cafeteria, and they had a tv. It's about as. It seemed, like, as big as that screen right there.
- [14:03]
Bobby Bones
And they.
- [14:04]
Kenny Chesney
They had MTV on it. And back in the day, MTV was it. It was amazing. And you got to really see the artist. And that's the first time that I saw this video of Tom Petty. He had this big top hat on, and I. I Think it was Don't Come Around Here no More. I'm not sure if that's the right song or not, but I just. I. I just remember I was just fixed on that screen, and for some reason, I was listening to the Not. I wasn't just looking at him, but I was listening to the music, and it just kind of inspired me somehow, you know? And I remembered every. Everything in the book where we talk about my life experience, there is a music thread to it that got me to this place, and that was one of them.
- [14:46]
Bobby Bones
When did the beach come into play? Because you're from the middle of no water.
- [14:49]
Kenny Chesney
Oh, no. The beach that came into play with my mother. You know, we would always go to Myrtle beach or Daytona Beach.
- [14:58]
Bobby Bones
That was like, vacation. But you're, like, known for the beach. You're synonymous for the beach from a guy who grew up landlocked.
- [15:03]
Kenny Chesney
Well, I think it's more of an island vibe than it is a beach vibe.
- [15:06]
Bobby Bones
I don't know the difference. I don't like either.
- [15:08]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah, okay. Well, there is a difference. But, you know, I always love the ocean. I feel creative next to it. I feel humbled next to it. I feel very humble on a boat.
- [15:23]
Bobby Bones
On it.
- [15:24]
Kenny Chesney
And I have God written. So me and Dean Dillon would go to the Virgin Islands and write songs on my boat at least two or three times a year. It was so much fun. And, I don't know, I just feel different there. I feel creative and that. I've always felt that way, even as a child. But I got the love for. For sunlight and the ocean and the music that you listen to in those situations from my mother.
- [15:51]
Bobby Bones
Did anybody ever in Nashville, when you started to have more of a beach down go, hey, that's not really what we're doing here.
- [15:57]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah, a few people.
- [15:58]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [15:59]
Kenny Chesney
But I had made. I had made the decision that I was going to take my life that I was living very authentically. And, you know, that's why, you know, the name of this book is Heart Life Music. And it kind of goes to. What you're saying is because I took what was in my heart, live my life like that, and I had music to connect all the dots. And once I started to take what was in my heart and my life experiences at the time and found its way into my songwriting, it found its way into the studio and then on my records and then on the road, and that's when my life really changed. When I stopped trying to be this model, this thing that everybody in town was trying to be, and that was. There was a lot of people doing that because it was successful. You know, I was one of those acts that was doing just about anything you could do to get your song on the radio or get noticed or whatever. But it was in this. This specific model, and once I stopped doing that is when my life changed.
- [17:04]
Bobby Bones
Can you talk about. And hopefully so, because I'm so interested in George Jones, Tammy Wynette, they do the reunion tour and even watch, like, the docu series or the. I guess it wasn't docu series. It was a. The fictional recreation.
- [17:15]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah. Josh Brolin.
- [17:16]
Bobby Bones
It was awesome.
- [17:17]
Kenny Chesney
It was awes.
- [17:17]
Bobby Bones
It was. But you were a part of that.
- [17:19]
Kenny Chesney
I know. I really was. I just got to town and I was. I had a record deal, but nobody knew I had a record deal. And I had a few songs out, and it. It was. To get that call was pretty unbelievable. I, I. That. First of all, the fact that they did it was unbelievable. But George Jones and Temmy Wyette did a reunion tour, and they asked me to open the show, and it was great for me, but most people in the audience thought that I could have been just the local house band, that they got to do it. I mean, they did not know the difference. But to me, in my band, it was really a fun experience. And it's where my relationship and friendship with George Jones started, because after the second weekend, Nancy, his wife, asked me if I wanted to fly back with them to Nashville. And I haven't even seen a private jet, much, much less ride on one. So that was an unbelievable experience. And George and I became really good friends after that.
- [18:24]
Bobby Bones
One of my favorite songs in all of country music is you Ain't Keep Me Crazy. You and Grace Potter love it. I've told you that before.
- [18:31]
Kenny Chesney
Thank you.
- [18:31]
Bobby Bones
It's literally one of my favorite songs ever of my whole life. That song and her, like, how did that come together?
- [18:38]
Kenny Chesney
I had the song already recorded. Matresa Berg and Dina Carter sent me the song, but it was. I think it's either Dina or Matresa singing the song. I said, I really wish I had a male version of it. And there was a guy named Tim Kreckle that actually did a demo of that song that was friends with Matresa. And I was driving up the Pacific coast highway and I heard that version. I went, oh, my God, this is it. I said, I'm going to record this song, but I have to have the perfect voice to do it. And I didn't know who that was yet. And I was at my House in the Virgin Islands. And at night, there's no light pollution from any big city. It's just when it's clear, it's endless stars. And I'd had a little bit of too much of grandpa's cough medicine that night. And I was laying out looking up at the stars, and that song came on, like, on a shuffle on my. On my itunes, right? And it. And I just sat there and listened to it, and I went, okay, I have to find the right voice. The next song was a song by Grace Potter called Apologies. And I went, that's the song.
- [19:46]
Bobby Bones
That's how. That's how it happened.
- [19:47]
Kenny Chesney
That's how it happened. I hadn't even met Grace yet, and so I found her. She was in Europe on a European tour. I sent her my recording of it, right? Because I had the song cut for a little while, but didn't in mix, but didn't have the voice. And so I sent her the version of it that I had recorded. And she had landed. She just got back from a European tour. She was in one of those car rental vans that everybody gets into to go to the rental company, you know, to rent your car. And she put on her headphones and heard it, and she goes, I'm gonna do it. Because all she ever knew of Kenny Chesney in Burlington, Vermont, was she thinks my tractor's sexy. So she's getting this song from me going, okay, this could be really weird, right? And she heard it, and two days later, she was in Nashville. She came exhausted from the tour, and we put our vocals. Our final vocals on you and Tequila. And that was on my birthday. And that night, after we left the studio, we went to a restaurant that's no longer here called Sunset Grill. And we sat out in the car and. And just talked and went, you know what? We're going to be life friends. And that's. That's what happened.
- [21:05]
Bobby Bones
Did you feel that song was special? Because there's a lot of things that can happen to a song after you cut it.
- [21:11]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah, we hoped, you know, we knew it was very organic. And I felt like it was. It was. I related to it a lot, and I felt like a lot of other people could, too. But it was just. I don't know. It was one of the first songs that I ever had. And having Grace on it proved it, that it was genreless in a way. Like, a lot of her fans are going. You know, a lot of my fans were going, okay, who? Question mark. And a lot of her fans were going, why? Question Mark. You know, but once they heard it, it all made sense. Right? So, I don't know. It just goes to show you that we all. We all grow up very differently, no matter how we grew up. And we have different religious beliefs, political beliefs, or whatever it is, but we all sing, you know, eventually sing the same notes.
- [22:01]
Bobby Bones
Inside the book, there's a lot of good pictures. Did you have to, like, go and dig up old pictures?
- [22:05]
Kenny Chesney
Yes, I spent. Did you do an audiobook?
- [22:08]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's miserable.
- [22:10]
Kenny Chesney
The audiobook was the. One of the most unpleasant things I've ever done in my life.
- [22:15]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but somebody's listening to everything you said. They're on with you. And they're like, you need to say the word yeah, weasel again and back up.
- [22:25]
Kenny Chesney
It's not grammatically correct or you need. It took like. I was in there for, like, I don't know, a week and a half. I think there's 40 something chapters in this book. After a week and a half, I was on chapter four.
- [22:36]
Female Co-host
Oh, wow.
- [22:37]
Assistant (AI or Researcher)
I was like.
- [22:39]
Kenny Chesney
I just. Yeah, it was hard.
- [22:42]
Female Co-host
So around chapter four, somebody else starts around.
- [22:44]
Kenny Chesney
No, I did it because I. I realized that, you know, so many people wanted to hear my voice doing it. Like, I couldn't write a book. And then I could. I could hire Bobby to do my.
- [22:54]
Bobby Bones
Book or James Earl Jones or somebody.
- [22:56]
Kenny Chesney
Right by Kenny Chesney wants to hear that. So I had to do it. And it took a good. I don't know, it took a month. Yeah, it's long for me to do that. So I was curious if you did your audio.
- [23:10]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I did both. And they were both like. Because I would do the show for five hours and then have to go into another studio and I could do like two before I started losing my voice. So, yeah, it took like three weeks. And there's somebody. Some little person that's annoying just sitting there going. And then I do that again and I'm like, I'm a professional talker. Like, that's right.
- [23:28]
Kenny Chesney
And they said over there, they're on the other side of the window. They're going. I just feel like you got a better one in you.
- [23:35]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or that's not really how I think you would say it. And I'm like, I wrote it. I know how I would say it. Yeah, That's a part that's kind of.
- [23:42]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah. Yeah. It was really strange, but they just felt. They just. I don't know, they. I guess those people. And I really appreciated them, but they do so many. And they. It's almost a Mixture of. Okay, we're going to take all these, and this is like this way that should be done.
- [23:56]
Bobby Bones
There was a picture of you and Bobby Bowden in the book, which I thought was cool.
- [23:59]
Kenny Chesney
Yes.
- [24:00]
Bobby Bones
And it said. I think it was 2002. And you went to maybe spring ball or one of the.
- [24:05]
Kenny Chesney
That before that. See, it was around November.
- [24:11]
Bobby Bones
He's a Florida State coach, by the way. Former Florida State coach.
- [24:13]
Kenny Chesney
Yeah, former Florida State coach and like a legend in college football. Bobby Bowden was a coach at Florida State for a long time. A couple of months earlier, I played Florida State's basketball arena, and I went, wow, I want to meet Bobby Bowden. You know, I was just. I felt like, I want to meet everybody at that time. You know, when your life's changing and you just. You feel like they might want to meet you. And it was true. And Bobby said, come on over. And I. I went over to his office at the stadium and I sat down on a couch. It was me and my road manager, David Farmer. Uncle Crocker went with me. And there was sat Bobby Bowden. And he talked to me like. I don't know. It felt like a Baptist preacher almost. In a way, it was crazy. And. And there was a guy that played football there. His name was Chris Winky. And Chris Winky was kind of famous for being, like, old. He was like, yes.
- [25:05]
Bobby Bones
Like, he played minor league baseball in.
- [25:07]
Kenny Chesney
A bowl game, and he was like, 27.
- [25:09]
Bobby Bones
Yes, he was.
- [25:10]
Kenny Chesney
And it's like I told Coach Bowden that I wanted to break Winky's record of being the oldest player that played for Florida State. About a month later, his assistant called me and said, coach Bowden has invited you to participate. Not come to, but participate in spring practice.
- [25:28]
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's funny.
- [25:29]
Kenny Chesney
And I went, oh, wow, this is going to be great. I can't wait. So I got my dad, who's, you know, my dad was a coach, and it was something that he and I could do together. And I remember, you know, they. They gave me a locker, you know, with. With the team, and I went out there and did all the drills. I mean, I went and did all the meetings with all the players, and when it time to scrimmage, they had a. Like their spring game or spring practice, you know, before their spring game. And I was itching to get in and at.
- [25:59]
Bobby Bones
Into the game. You wanted to get in the game.
- [26:00]
Kenny Chesney
In a practice, in a scrimmage. And Coach Bowden promised me he'd put me in and finally position. Were you playing wide receiver?
- [26:07]
Bobby Bones
Okay.
- [26:07]
Kenny Chesney
And finally, at the. At the very end, they were going to let me go and do a couple plays. And Coach Bowden had it like these big boys in the bullhorn. You talk. You talk through. And the only thing he said, like, to the whole team, he goes, don't hit, Chas.
- [26:24]
Female Co-host
That's what I was worried about.
- [26:25]
Kenny Chesney
He goes, don't hit him.
- [26:27]
Female Co-host
Is that you're gonna get tackled.
- [26:28]
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
- [26:29]
Kenny Chesney
But, like, it's, like, smashed. You watch on TV and you go, oh, yeah, I could do that. And then you get on. Get on the field and see how big and fast these guys are. I was like, okay, thank you, Coach Bowden. Thanks for telling them not to hit me, because they'd kill me.
- [26:40]
Bobby Bones
The book is Heart, Life Music. It's Kenny's book. My final question is, why. Why do a book?
- [26:46]
Kenny Chesney
Well, like I said, I just felt like it was time to do it.
- [26:50]
Bobby Bones
But you're not dying.
- [26:51]
Kenny Chesney
No, I don't. I'm not saying this is my last book.
- [26:53]
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't know.
- [26:54]
Kenny Chesney
I don't know. We never know. But, no, I just felt like that so many people have been a part of this, and I wanted to honor them, and I wanted to honor this journey and just everybody that's been a part of it. I, like. I said a lot of people. You know, one of the things that's been crazy is that I've become friends with a lot of heroes, and I never saw that coming, you know, being a kid from East Tennessee that I would get to know and be friends with. Eddie Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, George Jones, George Strait, Joe Walsh. So many people. Steve Miller. Every day I went to school, I had the Steve Miller Band's greatest hits, and I was playing the Joker, and I was. All these songs that were such a part of my childhood, and I got to know and collaborate with that person. So a lot of those stories are in this book.
- [27:42]
Bobby Bones
Final, final, final question. What song do you play to show. And within the first couple notes, the freaking fans explode.
- [27:48]
Kenny Chesney
The loudest American kids. And we go, chuka cha cha chooka cha. We don't say anything. It's just, you know, that's the trick.
- [27:58]
Bobby Bones
Would be to never say anything and just play chuka cha for, like. For, like, five minutes. Yeah.
- [28:02]
Kenny Chesney
Are you ready?
- [28:04]

We've done some stuff together over the years, and I'm like, You know, Kenny's all friendly and stuff to me when we're, like, professional, but if I go to, like. Yeah. I want to be in the way. He doesn't want me there.
- [28:31]
Kenny Chesney
You're gonna be in the way.
- [28:32]
Bobby Bones
No, I know. This is my feeling, and it's like, I want to go. I guess I'd.
- [28:37]
Kenny Chesney
You think I won't be nice to you out of this scenario?
- [28:42]

I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear, no mistake. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group, even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem. Just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through. Clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus, WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big ol mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone. Now streaming on Paramount. It is the epic return of Mayor of Kingstown. From Taylor Sheridan, co creator of Landman, and Antoine Fuqua, executive producer of the Equalizer, comes an all new season. Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner returns as Mike McCluskey, an ex con fighting to keep peace inside and outside the prison walls of Kingstown. And now, with his brother Kyle behind bars, Mike must face off with a new warden played by Emmy Award winner Edie Falco. Trapped in an unrelenting power struggle, Mike's world unravels. His control over Kingstown is threatened by Detroit's legendary and formidable gangster, Frank Moses, played by BAFTA award winner Lennie James. Frank stakes his own claim in Kingstown's criminal underworld by forging a new partnership with Crip leader Bunny Washington. Putting Mike and Bunny's long standing friendship on the line. Caught between loyalty and survival, Mike must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly enemies, risking everything to protect those he loves in a place where trust is a liability and escape is not an option.

Bobby Bones
Amy was talking about how Eli Manning's nephew was at a game. Oh, that's cool. Here in town. And I was like, I don't know if that sounds right. She's like, no, no. Does he play here? And I said, well, Peyton Manning's son plays in Chattanooga. She goes, yeah, Eli Manning's nephew. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I think you're missing. So.
- [34:38]
Female Co-host
Yes, yes, yes. Peyton Manning's son. However, I didn't know if it was maybe like, like the tax guys, kid. Like, don't they have a brother that's just like.
- [34:47]
Eddie
Yeah, that's Arch's dad, Arch Manning.
- [34:51]
Female Co-host
Oh, at Texas.
- [34:52]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Texas. Yeah, that's his dad.
- [34:54]
Female Co-host
Got it.
- [34:55]
Bobby Bones
Yes.
- [34:55]
Eddie
So, hey, so was Peyton not at the game? Eli was.
- [34:59]
Female Co-host
Listen, I'm sure I don't know.
- [35:01]
Eddie
Uncle Eli was at the game. But dad, Peyton wasn't.
- [35:04]
Female Co-host
I don't know if Peyton was there or not. All I saw were pictures of like somebody. I guess I follow or something. Were like, oh, Eli Manning. Eli Manning's right. Next.
- [35:12]
Bobby Bones
Enough, guys. It's Eli's nephew. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple things. There are some Halloween decorations near your house that your kids think are too scary.
- [35:22]
Eddie
Well, it's kind of a combination of things, so. Yes, there's. Our neighbor put up a sign in her window that said, help me, and it's, like, got blood. It's written in blood.
- [35:33]
Bobby Bones
The problem is I'm hearing echoes again. Somebody's headphones are, too. Oh, I'm a. This happens. I'm gonna kick a hole in the wall somewhere. Is it your headphones, Eddie?
- [35:43]
Eddie
I don't know. Check, check, check, check, check, check.
- [35:47]
Bobby Bones
You hear it? The problem is everybody starts adjusting stuff as soon as I say it so they're not the one that gets caught, and then we can't actually find it.
- [35:54]
Female Co-host
Well, I can't adjust anything. I have no controls.
- [35:56]
Eddie
Right. And I lowered yours this morning.
- [35:58]
Female Co-host
Oh, thank you.
- [35:59]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [36:00]
Eddie
You hear it still?
- [36:01]
Bobby Bones
Well, not when you talk like that. Hey, guys. Mike, did you hear it? Yeah, I think it was a little loud. I think it was his Headphones Eddie's. It was right when he started talking.
- [36:09]
Eddie
So it's me just talking loud.
- [36:11]
Bobby Bones
No, I'll talk lower. No, no need to talk lower.
- [36:13]
Eddie
I've been wanting to do that anyway.
- [36:15]
Bobby Bones
Talk normal. Just manage your head.
- [36:16]
Eddie
No, like, I've been. It's. I've been trying to, like, have an effort of, like, talking slower and lower.
- [36:21]
Bobby Bones
Okay, tell the story about your kids.
- [36:22]
Eddie
So my name.
- [36:23]
Bobby Bones
No, don't.
- [36:24]
Female Co-host
So help me. In blood.
- [36:26]
Eddie
Yes, it's in blood. But the problem is our neighbor went out of town, so, like, my kids haven't seen her. No one's seen her. So my kids are like, guys, I'm worried about the neighbor. Like, I haven't seen her in three days. She's usually outside watering plants, working in her garden. Haven't seen her. And there's a sign that says, help me on the window. And so I rolled with it. I'm like, oh, gosh. That's so concerning. You hear it?
- [36:49]
Female Co-host
So you're, like, part of the bit?
- [36:50]
Eddie
Yeah, I mean, I'm just a bit. Well, I mean, I told them eventually, but, like, they were so scared. And then it made me think, like, you know, there should probably be. Like, it's so realistic. And it says, help me. That they were legitimately scared for, like, two days. That should probably not. That should probably be banned.
- [37:07]
Bobby Bones
But you did that.
- [37:08]
Eddie
I know, but they were scared to begin with. And this thing looks so real. It looks like she's, like, being held hostage by some monster. And she's writing a sign to everyone.
- [37:16]
Bobby Bones
Outside that's pretty fun.
- [37:18]
Eddie
Help me.
- [37:19]
Bobby Bones
If that happened in February, I think there's probably an issue.
- [37:22]
Female Co-host
Yeah, like, definitely help her.
- [37:24]
Bobby Bones
I think right around Halloween, pretty much everybody knows it's Halloween.
- [37:28]
Eddie
Especially my little, my six year old. He's just like, guys, I haven't seen her. Like, I've been looking. I've not seen her at all.
- [37:34]
Bobby Bones
There's an article that asks, have Halloween decorations become too scary? They mentioned things like tall skeletons and lifelike witches and demons and realistic blood and gore. And so it's from the New York Times and it says people are believing things are getting more intense in recent years and that kids are being too scared because Halloween decorations have become too scary. They talk to some parents who have young kids who like classic Halloween imagery. Pumpkins, witches, ghosts and spiders and skeletons. And they feel like today's dismembered bodies is a little too far. There are also neighbors who complain about decorations in their neighborhood being too violent and unsettling. Some adults even admit they've been rattled by some of the modern decorations. Although others say it's possible they were always there. They just not notice that. They just didn't notice them until they had kids. So what are your thoughts? This kind of is happening with you? Yeah. Would you have been upset about it?
- [38:29]
Eddie
No.
- [38:29]
Bobby Bones
Had your kids not noticed?
- [38:30]
Eddie
I love it. I'm actually disappointed in my kids because, like, Halloween's supposed to be scary. Like, and they're older. Like I have a 12 year old now and I figure he wants to be like, I don't know, a murdered clown or something. And he doesn't. He wants to be a pickle. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, it's Halloween time. We should be ghosts and stuff. And so I'm. Yeah, I think kids are just kind of soft now.
- [38:53]
Bobby Bones
Pickle's funny.
- [38:54]
Eddie
Like, one's a pickle, one's a Transformer. Like, guys, come on.
- [38:57]
Bobby Bones
Transformers. Traditional pickle's hilarious because you don't really have a relationship with a pickle. Like, you don't watch a pickle on a show.
- [39:05]
Eddie
And it was just the way they come came up with it too. It's like, I don't know, maybe a banana, a hot dog and somebody said pickle. Like, that's funny.
- [39:12]
Female Co-host
What is he doing? We're all green. Or does he have a pickle suit?
- [39:14]
Eddie
He has a pickle suit and then he is. He's got a green face. The face comes out. I did see a kid, though. Oh, man. And I've seen it before, but it's just. It's so funny every time I see it. It was a kid being held by an alien or carried by an alien.
- [39:28]
Bobby Bones
All those costumes are funny where it looks like you're being held up by something, but your legs are the legs of the big thing that's holding you up.
- [39:36]
Eddie
Right.
- [39:37]
Bobby Bones
Those are funny.
- [39:38]
Eddie
The kid was crossing the road and I could just could not stop laughing because he looks so funny.
- [39:42]
Bobby Bones
I saw their costume was a roller coaster and it was four people all in a roller coaster seat and they were rocking forward and back and they're. But their legs were hanging over the front. But it was the same thing. Their legs, the real legs were actually like the. The poles of the roller coaster and the little legs are up front and they had had a routine of going left, right up. It was a really good one.
- [40:07]
Eddie
So funny.
- [40:07]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I'm glad Halloween's on a Friday.
- [40:09]
Eddie
Yes. Perfect.
- [40:10]
Bobby Bones
Like in order to. Friday's the best night. I think Thursday is a plus because Thursday means it's so close to Friday. And then a kid who goes to school on Friday just has a bunch of candy. And Fridays are kind of a throwaway day if you're in school and Halloween's on a Thursday night. Yeah, I always loved a throwaway day back at school because you still went, but it was throwaway. Then Saturday. The problem with Saturdays, there's college football and so a lot of dads don't want to be out trick or treating when their big games on at 6 o'.
- [40:41]
Eddie
Clock.
- [40:42]
Bobby Bones
But I think that's the order. I think it's Friday, then Thursday, then Saturday. If I were to rate the days of Halloween. Halloween's not a government holiday, so they should just make it every Friday. Like the fourth Thursday or. Excuse me, the fourth. Like, like Thanksgiving. Is that third Thursday, Fourth or Thursday, whatever it is, they should do that with Halloween.
- [41:00]
Eddie
So instead it's always on the 31st.
- [41:02]
Female Co-host
Yeah, right now it is.
- [41:04]
Eddie
But yeah, you're right. Like, who cares?
- [41:06]
Female Co-host
Like, just make it the last Friday of the month.
- [41:08]
Eddie
Agree.
- [41:08]
Bobby Bones
There's nothing religious about it.
- [41:10]
Eddie
Well, somebody. Some. Some people.
- [41:12]
Bobby Bones
No, some people make it religious. The actual story of Halloween is not about religion. Did you know that used to be turnips, not pumpkins. They would put like a fire in a turnip. It later became pumpkins.
- [41:24]
Eddie
Oh, like a turnip lantern.
- [41:26]
Bobby Bones
Started in Europe. Really wasn't about religion in any way whatsoever. It just turned that way because religious people have looked at Halloween and said, that's the opposite of what we believe. We can't believe Halloween's for the devil. It was never really for the devil. I believe the guy that is the reason that Halloween exists. Like he died and he made a deal with the devil and he never he that if he wouldn't go to hell, but he also didn't get into heaven. So he always roamed around earth as a ghost. It's the story of Halloween.
- [41:53]
Eddie
That's how it started.
- [41:54]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And so he roamed. I, I would need more information on this. I can ask my assistant, but I'm just going from memory here.
- [42:02]
Female Co-host
You don't have to say hey, good morning. You don't?
- [42:04]
Bobby Bones
I do, because I like she doesn't know because when she takes over the world, I want her to remember.
- [42:07]
Eddie
And then she's like, oh, hey.
- [42:08]
Female Co-host
She's like, oh, hey, good morning. I know exactly what you're talking about.
- [42:11]
Bobby Bones
Hello, good morning. Hey. So we're talking about Halloween and I mentioned to them that turnips were the original pumpkins. And the story of someone who, I believe he made a deal with the devil and he didn't have to go to hell, but he could have get into heaven. So he roamed earth as a ghost. And that's basically the European genesis of Halloween. Can you give me the actual story?
- [42:34]
Assistant (AI or Researcher)
Absolutely. Good morning to you too. So the story you're talking about is the tale of Stingy Jack. It's an old Irish legend. According to the myth, Stingy Jack was this clever but rather deceitful guy who managed to trick the devil more than once. The most famous part of the tale is that Jack made a deal with the devil to avoid going to hell. But as a result, he also couldn't get into heaven. When he died, he. He was basically doomed to roam the earth as a spirit. As the legend goes, the devil gave Jack a burning coal to light his way. And Jack put that coal into a carved out turnip to use as a lantern. That's where the idea of the Jack O Lantern comes from. In Ireland and Tolin, people originally carved turnips or potatoes as lanterns to ward off evil spirits. When immigrants brought the tradition to America, they found that pumpkins were more plentiful and easier to carve than turn ups. So the pumpkin Jack o' lantern became the go to. In short, you've got it pretty much right. It's all about Stingy Jack, his tricky deal with the devil and those old carved turnips lighting the way for what became our modern Halloween pumpkins.
- [43:34]
Bobby Bones
So Stingy Jack is the Jack O Lantern.
- [43:36]
Eddie
That's, that's. Yeah. That's the original Jack, Stingy.
- [43:40]
Bobby Bones
And the. That the face of the original Jack O Lantern is supposed to be like, if you were to dig his face out. Obviously, it's not real. It's just a created, like, kid's tale.
- [43:52]
Eddie
Like, Stingy Jack wasn't real.
- [43:54]
Female Co-host
A deal with the devil is a kid's tale.
- [43:56]
Bobby Bones
It's like Harry Potter you're making. You're fighting Voldemort. Oh, like you're talking about the same thing. It's fiction. And so what's happened is religion has used that as they're against religion. And they only use it to bolster themselves, to be like, we stand against that, but there's really nothing to stand against. It's. It's the same when they do that with Harry Potter, when they're like, we don't have Harry Potter in our church because that's the devil. No, it's fiction. You're gonna have fiction.
- [44:17]
Eddie
I have to be there with Stingy Jack when that started because that sounds like it's very controversy. Controversial.
- [44:23]
Bobby Bones
It's not real.
- [44:24]
Eddie
But you weren't there when Stingy Jack happened. What if Stingy Jack was a real dude?
- [44:30]
Bobby Bones
Jack's making a deal with the devil. Do you think Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil to play blues music Crossroads? Do you think that?
- [44:35]
Eddie
Not.
- [44:36]
Kenny Chesney
No.
- [44:36]
Bobby Bones
These are stories that get made up over time. But it's the things that annoy me are these religious figures who go, nope, no Harry Potter. But, man, you know what? I like Die Hard, the movie.
- [44:49]
Eddie
It's a good movie.
- [44:50]
Bobby Bones
And then they're like, there's all this violence, people dying with bullets and guns. They don't care about that. But they don't like Harry Potter.
- [44:57]
Eddie
Why don't they like Harry Potter?
- [44:58]
Female Co-host
Witchcraft.
- [45:00]
Eddie
Is. Is that witch fictional?
- [45:01]
Bobby Bones
Witchcraft. But you know what really happens? People take guns and they shoot and they kill people all the time. It's such hypocrisy. So I'm fine for Stingy Jack here.
- [45:10]
Eddie
Stingy Jack.
- [45:11]
Bobby Bones
But I knew. I didn't quite know the story. I knew this. I'd heard it a long time ago.
- [45:14]
Eddie
Do you love your assistant? Like, do you. You love her, don't you?
- [45:18]
Bobby Bones
In what way?
- [45:18]
Eddie
The fact that she's just. She knows so much.
- [45:21]
Bobby Bones
I don't really. Here's the thing, I. You do. And don't use her for. I don't really use it for factual things when I need data because she's not good at being specific. Like, I was looking for a specific head coach's all time Record at a certain school. This morning I was like, since he went here, what's his all time record? And he was like five games off. And so then I went to Grok and Grok was better with data. But Grok kind of sucks too, in its own way. It doesn't make images as well. I kind of have different versions of AI I go to for different things. Google AI is usually consistent with facts. Mike, would you find that? Yeah, it gives a good summary too. Yeah, Google AI is best with facts.
- [46:04]
Eddie
That's when you just Google something, it gives you the AI in the front of it. Yes, I like that.
- [46:07]
Female Co-host
Well, weren't you asking her to.
- [46:09]
Bobby Bones
My assistant's better, actually. Well, my assistant is better with telling me stories from old times or relating it in terms that I would understand. Told as a. As a nice story and with a bow on it.
- [46:24]
Eddie
Got it.
- [46:24]
Bobby Bones
And I also like when she goes, good morning.
- [46:28]
Eddie
Of course I know the answer.
- [46:29]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but that. But Stingy Jack is the actual reason that Halloween exists. It is a tale. It is just like any other tale that has happened throughout the years. And it's Irish Johnny Appleseed. Not real. Probably based in something realish.
- [46:47]
Eddie
So Brit Van Winkle.
- [46:48]
Bobby Bones
Not real.
- [46:49]
Eddie
Not real.
- [46:51]
Bobby Bones
Probably based in something real. Ish. Like a guy slept for like 14 hours one day and they're like. They're like, Rip won't wake up. Well, let's say slept for a hundred years. So. And again, you know, I've said many times, if I can't see like a video of it, it's probably been manipulated in some way, because the longer a story exists through passed down through words or just written, the more and more it becomes hyperbole, both in a positive and negative direction. So the fact that we can document things with video, with images, that's when you can actually start to believe things. Until now. What, you can now alter things because of AI? But then it's all metadata too. Like, Raymondo tried to sell a video to tmz. Do you guys know this?
- [47:31]
Eddie
No.
- [47:32]
Female Co-host
Which video?
- [47:35]
Bobby Bones
Ray did kind of tell the story. Yeah, Ray had a video of Keith and Nicole. What?
- [47:43]
Female Co-host
Where?
- [47:43]
Eddie
What?
- [47:44]
Bobby Bones
You tell it, Ray.
- [47:45]
Ray
Yeah. So that video that I took from the Preds game, it was of Keith and Nicole. They're in their suite. There was a lot of stuff going on. You know, it was when they were still together and they were hugging each other. They're like doing back rubs. They were talking, they were smiling. So some pretty intimate good details and stuff on them. And so I thought it might have Been their final public outing. And so I hit up TMZ and asked me if they wanted to buy it from me.
- [48:09]
Bobby Bones
And they said what?
- [48:11]
Ray
There was a phone call. There's definitely some emails back and forth. And they ended up coming back with that. They weren't interested. They offered me zero dollars.
- [48:19]
Bobby Bones
They did ask you, though, because it could have been fake. They did ask you if it was real. They wanted to see the metadata, right? Yeah.
- [48:25]
Ray
And that honestly might have been the hiccup. Just because I didn't save the videos, I don't have that much space on my phone. So they go, hey, do you have the metadata of where the location was and the exact date and time that they were taken? I can think. They wanted me to prove that they were my videos. And I go, I just can't do that. I don't have it. I don't save those on my phone. So they're like, okay, well, we're going to pass.
- [48:43]
Bobby Bones
So where was the video? Because if you have the video, the metadata is in the video.
- [48:48]
Ray
Well, I took all of the videos that I had of Keith and Nicole at that Predators game, which was like, definitely five minutes of footage. Made a montage, put it on Instagram. Then when I presented it to tmz, I deleted it off of Instagram. But all those videos, once I made the montage, I deleted them.
- [49:06]
Eddie
Yeah. Ray has a problem with deleting stuff off, like, his phone. Every texts. As soon as he's done. As soon as we're done texting, delete the conversation.
- [49:16]
Female Co-host
Yeah. If you go to his desktop, because sometimes you have to use.
- [49:18]
Bobby Bones
It feels like somebody was hiding something.
- [49:20]
Female Co-host
No, I don't know what it is.
- [49:22]
Eddie
Apparently he's got no data, no storage.
- [49:23]
Female Co-host
Explain it like, because even your razor.
- [49:26]
Bobby Bones
Like a Generation 1 razor, he deletes them right away.
- [49:30]
Ray
Well, the emails is so I know stuff that I have to do. The text is it's so I know. I read the text and responded and then videos and pictures. I mean, this morning I just had to go through and delete some videos of my cat because my storage is full.
- [49:42]
Bobby Bones
Okay, do this. Ray, can you have your phone with you?
- [49:44]
Ray
Yeah.
- [49:44]
Bobby Bones
All right, pull down and go to settings. All right. Do you see the thing where it says your name and it says like, Ray, Apple Account, I Cloud plus, etc. Click that.
- [49:58]
Kenny Chesney
Yep.
- [49:59]
Bobby Bones
Do you see there's all these things like personal information, security, subscriptions, all that? Yep. Okay, do you see where it says icloud?
- [50:11]
Ray
Yep.
- [50:11]
Bobby Bones
Would you have any. How much storage do you have there?
- [50:14]
Ray
5Gb.
- [50:17]
Tech Expert
What?
- [50:18]
Ray
And it says 5GB of. 5GB used. It's totally full.
- [50:22]
Female Co-host
What do you have?
- [50:23]
Bobby Bones
2 TB. And that's. And that's not even just your phone. I just wondered how much that's.
- [50:31]
Eddie
So he doesn't have a cloud. That's just like, whatever it comes with.
- [50:33]
Bobby Bones
What year is your phone?
- [50:35]
Ray
The 11.
- [50:37]
Bobby Bones
Wait, what number are we on?
- [50:39]
Female Co-host
We're on 17. At least that's what I saw a billboard for.
- [50:46]
Bobby Bones
So if you go to general, go to iPhone storage. Now I want to look. I want to look in your phone. So scroll down and just type storage. There's different versions of storage. But go to iPhone storage.
- [50:59]
Ray
I'm gonna search it.
- [51:01]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, just pull down and type in literally iPhone storage. It'll pull up.
- [51:06]
Ray
Icloud storage.
- [51:07]
Bobby Bones
No, iPhone storage. Icloud was the other one. If you just type storage, it'll give you all the storage options.
- [51:17]
Ray
I just got iCloud storage.
- [51:20]
Eddie
Does that mean he doesn't have storage on his phone?
- [51:22]
Bobby Bones
He has to have some.
- [51:23]
Eddie
Oh, you gotta have.
- [51:24]
Bobby Bones
Okay, go to general. Ray. Yep. Do you see the three things on general about software update and iPhone storage? Mm. Click. IPhone storage. Got it up at the top. What does it say you have?
- [51:37]
Ray
It says 61.7 GB of 64 GB used. And messages are almost the biggest thing. And I delete them every day.
- [51:48]
Eddie
Maybe you're not deleting them.
- [51:49]
Bobby Bones
I have so on mine, obviously I have more, but I have one terabyte on my phone. I do a lot of. Look at yours. I do a lot of video, a lot of editing. But, rhett, you don't have any stor.
- [52:02]
Ray
Yeah, it's these family text threads.
- [52:04]
Female Co-host
I just had to buy my entire phone.
- [52:06]
Eddie
Yeah, the text threads are stupid.
- [52:08]
Bobby Bones
I think it's time, though, for a new phone that actually has some storage. I think that they've made great leap since that phone. Mike, that's. That's not much, right? That's pretty low.
- [52:17]
Eddie
Okay, what are we doing? We're going to wear.
- [52:18]
Female Co-host
Okay, I have 3.345.5 GB of 2 TB used.
- [52:23]
Bobby Bones
But that's icloud. That's not your iPhone.
- [52:26]
Female Co-host
Oh, well, that I just bought, though.
- [52:28]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's icloud, though.
- [52:30]
Female Co-host
Okay. Because I ran out. Where am I going?
- [52:32]
Bobby Bones
Go to settings. Yeah, the minimum now is double what Ray has. Really?
- [52:36]
Female Co-host
Yeah.
- [52:37]
Bobby Bones
Go to general and then iPhone storage. There's no reason Ray should have to delete everything.
- [52:43]
Female Co-host
Oh, 108.2. 9GB of 1 TB TB.
- [52:48]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So you Have. That's a lot. You're good.
- [52:50]
Eddie
Okay, I have 99.75 GB of 128GB.
- [52:56]
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you have 128 gigabytes of storage. So. Okay, smaller. But Ray has like half that. That's why he deletes. Yeah, Ray, I think, and I don't always tell people to get a new phone. I think you could probably trade your phone in and get one pretty cheap. You need to be.
- [53:10]
Ray
I will. You need to put it on the list.
- [53:11]
Eddie
You have them.
- [53:12]
Bobby Bones
You have the minimal amount of storage.
- [53:14]
Ray
Yeah. And it allows me. I have 900 pictures, but it's always got to be my all star pictures. If something. If I run out of room, post it on Instagram. So then it'll save it in the Instagram stories.
- [53:24]
Bobby Bones
That's how people save a lot of stuff. That's why they save it in Snapchat. They save it in Snapchat so they don't have to save it in their phone. I mean, I don't. I don't use Snapchat, but that's the thing. Well, I'm surprised that your phone has that little of storage.
- [53:36]
Ray
Well, and then my wife will send me a two minute video on my cat. I'm like, I don't have the storage. I'll see the cat when I come home.
- [53:44]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that shouldn't happen. You should be able to experience life.
- [53:46]
Ray
Yeah, well, I already had to delete pretty much her entire second year of life because I didn't have the storage for it.
- [53:52]
Bobby Bones
Your wife or the cat?
- [53:53]
Female Co-host
The cat.
- [53:53]
Ray
The cat.
- [53:54]
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's true.
- [53:55]
Eddie
Because I didn't realize that when you save your texts and people send you stuff all those videos and pictures that they send you, if you don't delete.
- [54:02]
Bobby Bones
Those texts, they're all saved, they're in the phone.
- [54:04]
Eddie
And sometimes you have duplicates, the ones on your text messages and your photos.
- [54:08]
Bobby Bones
Well, and if you really want to do a good job, go into your deleted things and delete those because it holds them for 30 days.
- [54:13]
Eddie
There you go.
- [54:13]
Bobby Bones
So when you delete it, it doesn't really delete it.
- [54:15]
Tech Expert
Right.
- [54:15]
Bobby Bones
Then it goes into your deleted, and after 30 days, it clears it out in case you want to go, oh, I need that back that I deleted it. Okay. This has been the tech minute.
- [54:22]
Eddie
Pretty good.
- [54:23]
Bobby Bones
Anything I missed there, Mike? That's good. Get a new phone, Ray. Ray, you need a new phone. I know, I don't. I'm not the guy that says you need a new phone to everybody. Again, you could probably get one Cheap.
- [54:33]
Ray
TMZ missed out on not buying that video.
- [54:36]
Eddie
So when was that video taken, Ray?
- [54:38]
Ray
In January, beginning of this year.
- [54:40]
Bobby Bones
They were still together.
- [54:41]
Eddie
Okay, so everything was fine.
- [54:43]
Female Co-host
I don't know if it's fine, if I don't think it's.
- [54:46]
Bobby Bones
They're at a hockey game, if they're rubbing each other.
- [54:48]
Female Co-host
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, maybe people. Maybe they were fine and then suddenly they weren't.
- [54:54]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. All right, moving on. Five new suspects have been arrested over the Louvre robbery.
- [55:02]
Eddie
So how many total?
- [55:03]
Bobby Bones
Dude, I didn't know there were that many people. I guess some of them weren't actually there.
- [55:08]
Female Co-host
They're just involved.
- [55:10]
Bobby Bones
That's the kind of person I want to be in a heist.
- [55:12]
Eddie
Yeah. The guy that doesn't do it.
- [55:14]
Bobby Bones
The person who sits back in the control room and is like, all right, boys, let's get going. French Authorities have arrested five individuals in the connection with the 102 million dollar jewel heist at the Louvre Museum in Paris. One suspect was identified through DNA, left the crime scene. Two others, former delivery drivers, have partially confessed to the theft. The heist, which took place in broad daylight, involves thieves using a furniture elevator to bypass museum security. The arrests have raised questions about loop security and possibly staff cuts and underfunding. WFTV with that story. You know, there was the other story we talked about earlier this week, where those guys went into that mall and basically lowered themselves to the top to get all the shoes. And they still. They stole like, I think, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shoes. They had so many, they couldn't fit them all in their car, so they just, like, tossed them off the roof. But that reminds me of Mission Impossible where the guy comes down on the rope, watches that.
- [56:08]
Eddie
Yeah, but there's always lasers.
- [56:09]
Bobby Bones
Not at Foot Locker or wherever they were.
- [56:13]
Eddie
It's true.
- [56:14]
Bobby Bones
I'd bet you there were no lasers. A. A tick tock thing that I like to watch. And it pops up sometimes. Algorithm. And it's always a collection of videos, like a montage of people at shoe stores. And they put the shoes on and they kind of bounce. I take off running toward the door, but then they stop. Like. Yeah, they feel good. And the person. The person chases them because they think they're stealing the shoes.
- [56:33]
Eddie
But they're just trying them out.
- [56:34]
Bobby Bones
But they're just trying them out. But you get like five good ones of those back to back. You'll be laughing out loud. That's funny. Yeah, it's good. There's another Heist at least three men dressed up as construction workers stole more than $3 million worth of jewelry. And they stole the safe from a home in Queens, New York.
- [56:53]
Female Co-host
Oh, a home.
- [56:54]
Bobby Bones
The Robbery happened on October 16, around 2:20 in the afternoon. The thieves forced open a back door to get inside the house and took a safe along with jewelry worth about $3.2 million. Security cameras caught them driving in a blue Hyundai Elantra. And listen, I love Hyundai. If I were gonna do a heist, it'd be in a Hyundai. They are reliable as crap. Don't gotta worry about it. You know, that's one thing you're not gonna worry about is your car breaking down. The two of the men wore neon construction vests. And this is just gonna make me not trust anyone. Construction. Because they're all doing it in construction vests. Anytime I see anyone on the road now doing construction. Possible heister. They had hard hats, they had black clothing and backpacks. One had eye protection. The other two wore black face covering. The third person who was driving the getaway car wore a white hoodie, black pants, gray sneakers. No one was hurt during the robbery. NBC News.
- [57:45]
Female Co-host
I wonder how they knew, you know, they had to know what was.
- [57:48]
Eddie
Oh, inside job.
- [57:49]
Female Co-host
I know, right?
- [57:50]
Bobby Bones
Maybe somebody, if this is a very rich neighborhood and wealthy home, somebody that was setting up Internet, somebody that was cleaning the house, somebody's working on the yard. You know, somebody sees something that's there and then tells somebody and they create a plan.
- [58:06]
Female Co-host
Makes me think of that Jon Hamm show.
- [58:08]
Eddie
Yeah. Great show.
- [58:09]
Bobby Bones
Friends and Neighbors.
- [58:10]
Eddie
Friends and Neighbors.
- [58:11]
Female Co-host
I couldn't think of the name, but yeah.
- [58:12]
Eddie
Yeah, I feel like that. Like this. As a detective, this would be an easier one than the Louvre.
- [58:18]
Bobby Bones
I don't feel like this is a heist. I need to hear their accents.
- [58:21]
Female Co-host
But 3 million in jewelry, that sounds.
- [58:24]
Bobby Bones
Like a big robbery. Unless you have a foreign accent, I don't think it can be a heist. Okay, I need to hear, oh, we.
- [58:30]
Eddie
Got 3 million Pink Panther.
- [58:32]
Bobby Bones
Yes. Otherwise, I feel like it's just a robbery. You have a British accent, Australian accent, Asian accent. Now we're talking about a heist.
- [58:40]
Eddie
You're right. Are they saying heist now? Because that's just.
- [58:43]
Bobby Bones
That's the word. It was like when every story was about airplanes messing up. And once something becomes something, people are very interested in it because you're like, wow, this one's big. Oh, there's another one. There's another one. So then it's everywhere.
- [58:56]
Female Co-host
There's robberies every day, right?
- [58:57]
Eddie
Shark attacks. That's One?
- [58:59]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like, there was a heist at walmart. Someone stole $70 worth of cat food. Yeah, that's shoplifting. Let's see what else we got. There was a story, too, that was all about words that can significantly boost your career. And it's words that people don't use enough. What do you think those words are?
- [59:25]
Female Co-host
What do you mean? Like, they.
- [59:27]
Bobby Bones
I don't want to give you too much because it's.
- [59:28]
Female Co-host
Well, I'm saying, like, you use them and it will advance you. Or you just attach them to your name and people think, oh, like, doctor.
- [59:36]
Bobby Bones
Well, that'd be a lie. Hey, that would be a word. Heist.
- [59:40]
Female Co-host
So, like, is it just like, words that you say, say casually, or, like, immediate?
- [59:46]
Bobby Bones
Experts say that these words can significantly boost your career.
- [59:51]
Eddie
So, like, when you say these words.
- [59:53]
Bobby Bones
And I'll say this. Very general, very general teamwork.
- [59:58]
Eddie
Okay.
- [59:59]
Bobby Bones
It's something. It's not like that, but you're in the right ballpark if it's just normal words.
- [60:04]
Female Co-host
Okay. Collaboration.
- [60:08]
Eddie
Oh, that's good. Collaboration. I always heard, like, business people or.
- [60:12]
Bobby Bones
Like, don't think business people.
- [60:13]
Eddie
Okay. They always say, like, logistics. Have you seen the logistics on this data? Research shows confident.
- [60:26]
Bobby Bones
Okay. I like it. I like both of them so far. Lunchbox.
- [60:30]
Kenny Chesney
Hello.
- [60:31]
Bobby Bones
He's on the right track. A little more.
- [60:33]
Eddie
Hello.
- [60:34]
Kenny Chesney
How are you doing?
- [60:37]
Bobby Bones
What are.
- [60:37]
Female Co-host
What. What are you excited about?
- [60:41]
Eddie
I hear people say that a lot.
- [60:43]
Female Co-host
What's exciting you lately?
- [60:46]
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox is warmer than you guys are.
- [60:48]
Eddie
Okay. Goodbye.
- [60:51]
Female Co-host
Oh, I got it. Thank you.
- [60:55]
Bobby Bones
Yes.
- [60:56]
Eddie
Thank you is good.
- [60:57]
Bobby Bones
It's pleasing. Thank you, man.
- [60:59]
Eddie
I teach my kids to say that all the time.
- [61:01]
Bobby Bones
Experts say the words that can significantly boost your career are please and thank you, saying especially. I'm hearing the echo again, not me. Are you hearing it, Mike? I didn't hear it. I hear loud.
- [61:14]
Female Co-host
What if you're hearing, like, a phantom now?
- [61:18]
Bobby Bones
Oh, like, my phone vibrates in my pocket. Yeah, yeah, my phone's in my pocket. Will you turn my headphones down a little bit, please? I don't have the.
- [61:25]
Eddie
Yeah, please.
- [61:26]
Kenny Chesney
And then.
- [61:26]
Bobby Bones
And thank you.
- [61:27]
Female Co-host
Yep. Thank you.
- [61:28]
Bobby Bones
Because two things can happen here. One, I don't think it's my headphones because it's never my headphones. But two, then I just don't even hear it.
- [61:34]
Eddie
Is that too much?
- [61:36]
Bobby Bones
I don't even need it. I can take my headphones off. Who gives a crap? Headphones overrated.
- [61:41]
Eddie
Who cares?
- [61:41]
Bobby Bones
Who cares? Saying please. And, Mike, will you listen for the echo, though? Because the listeners complain to me in DMS like I'm hearing an echo and it's ruining my podcast experience. So I want to make sure that doesn't happen. Saying please and thank you will help push you up the corporate ladder because it makes you easier to work with. Researchers also found that a majority of workers are willing to put in extra effort to help a colleague after they express gratitude. Bosses are more likely to promote someone who is appreciative and thankful. From the University of California, Berkeley, I want to give you a story. This isn't. This is. It's a real story. And I don't mean for it to be a flex because I've talked about it before, but whatever it happens in my life, I go to Sonic a decent amount. And when I go to Sonic, I mostly and I use the app and I order ahead of time. Sonic right now not a sponsor. So this is not any commercial. I go to Sonic and I will buy two Route 64 waters. One of them I will do light cherry flavoring and one of them I'll do no flavoring. But both I do nerds. So by the time it's over, I got, I'm full of water. I'm so bloated with water. But I try, I try not to drink a lot of water in the morning because I don't want to have to leave the studio and pee. And then I try to make up for it for as soon as I leave the studio and then rehydrate myself. So sometimes I don't leave the studio. We're here five, six hours. It's because I purposely not drink any water because I don't want to have to leave the studio. But then I got to make up for it some way to stay hydrated. So I will go and I'll order and on the app I will put you can put a tip on the app and so I'll do $2 on the app and then I'll pull up and I usually will tip them $100 at the Sonic when they bring my water every time. Usually If I have $100 bill and I do most of the time it's the only cash that I keep is tipping money. Otherwise why do you need cash? Sometimes it's a 20, 80% of the time it's a hundred and so they will bring me the two waters and the price is like $4 and I've given them two in the app and I only do the two in the app because I want them to really take care of the nerds because you don't know what tip you're getting. And I want heavy nerds. And if they already see that I'm doing $2 in that, they're going, oh, we got a good tip. Let's give the guy extra nerds in his water. And so I'll give them a hundred dollar tip. And for the most part, they go, oh, do you want change? I'm like, no, that's for you. Thank you. And they're like, oh, my God, thank you. The last two times I've been to this one place, this guy, and I don't do it for the thank you. He didn't say anything. He looks at it and he's like, yeah, walks off. And so I went back to the same stall, I did it again, he looked at it and just walked off. And now I'm a little irritated.
- [64:23]
Female Co-host
Yeah, that is bizarre.
- [64:24]
Eddie
That is bizarre.
- [64:25]
Bobby Bones
I'm not doing it for the reaction, but when I don't get a thank you, just in general, if I hold the door open for somebody, because if somebody holds it open for me, you better believe I'm gonna thank you the crap out of it.
- [64:36]
Eddie
Yep.
- [64:37]
Bobby Bones
And then. But the same guy I've given a hundred bucks to on my waters, he looks at it and just puts it in his pocket and walks off.
- [64:44]
Female Co-host
And he realizes for sure. For sure, it's 100.
- [64:46]
Eddie
Yeah, right.
- [64:47]
Bobby Bones
Is he old? Well, I'm glad you asked. Can he see a couple things? No, not old. Yes, can see. Because he had to walk him out to me.
- [64:53]
Female Co-host
What if he has some weird thing? You know how some people don't have facial recognition?
- [64:57]
Eddie
There's no bill recognition.
- [64:58]
Tech Expert
Yeah.
- [65:00]
Bobby Bones
You know, that is a fair but stupid question.
- [65:02]
Female Co-host
Maybe it's the only explanation I have.
- [65:05]
Eddie
Yeah, because that's weird.
- [65:06]
Bobby Bones
It's so weird. And as somebody who depended on tips their whole life, I was. If someone gave me a tip and I saw it, I thanked them. And the first time I just thought maybe he just thought it was a one. But even then you say thank you. It doesn't matter. The hundred. Yeah, but when it is a hundred, like, sometimes people will be like, are you sure? And I'm like, yes, that's awesome. Hope this helps you out. That's the whole reason I do it, because I know what it's like to have to live on freaking tips. And so twice in a row. So it makes me want to go back and try it again with the same guy.
- [65:33]
Eddie
Really? Another hundred? See, I'm opposite. I'll be like, no more hundreds.
- [65:36]
Bobby Bones
I just want to know what the deal Is because he's done it twice.
- [65:38]
Eddie
You should do 200 up it. See what he says.
- [65:42]
Bobby Bones
That's a good point. But this up it. Well, at this point, it's a science experiment. The first time I did it because I don't hand it to them and, and hold it up like, ooh, a hunt.
- [65:53]
Eddie
Here's a hundred for you.
- [65:54]
Bobby Bones
I literally just say, oh, thanks. And they don't expect to tip on bringing it out to those spots that have the number on it, because you've usually tipped on the app already. Or if you have, they especially don't expect a tip. So they don't expect. They have. They're. Thank you. Here's your waters. Appreciate it. When they're walking off, I'm like, oh, no, no, here's this. And so I hand it to him. Second time I hand it to him. I had it definitely folded in half, and you could see what it was because I was just so curious if I got the same guy. If. And I know he saw it and just press. Fucking walked off again. Okay.
- [66:23]
Eddie
You know, he saw it. I was gonna ask him for sure.
- [66:24]
Bobby Bones
Like, he looked at the bill, and I did it. The second time, a little more bill out. Because the first time I thought maybe he didn't see it. And also, you don't always get the same. It's. I don't know if it's a server.
- [66:34]
Eddie
But the same hop, you go to the same place. The same one.
- [66:38]
Bobby Bones
I have two that I go to if I'm going and you know where I live. If I go to my left, there's one there, and if I go to my right, there's one there.
- [66:44]
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
- [66:44]
Bobby Bones
And so they're both about the same distance. It just. Whichever way I turn out, dude, I go to Sonic about every day, and.
- [66:49]
Eddie
You go around the same time.
- [66:52]
Bobby Bones
I know the people there.
- [66:53]
Eddie
I know they know you for sure. Maybe you're the 100 bill guy.
- [66:59]
Bobby Bones
Maybe, maybe. But yeah, I, I, I try to say thank you all the time. And when I read that article, I was like, man, because I normally, I don't, I don't think it would bother me. And this doesn't bother me. I'm just so curious as to why you wouldn't say thank you.
- [67:15]
Eddie
That's weird.
- [67:17]
Bobby Bones
My sister works at a Sonic. She manages Sonic. And so I called her and I was like, hey, what's up with, with, like, when you get. And she was like, dude, if we get a $5 tip, it's like, wow, thank. You know, thank you so much. That's awesome. Or if they don't want change and it's like $7 left in it. And I was like, yeah, I've been tipping this dude 100. He doesn't react so weird.
- [67:38]
Female Co-host
You know, his parents. A tip I saw from somewhere online, like, a long time ago. Instead of just being like, you know, make sure you say thank you. You get a little kind of obnoxious about it. But you look, you act like you're looking for something. Like you do something for them. And then you start looking around and you're like. And then they look at you and they're like, what, What? What are you looking for? And be like, oh, I was looking for that thank you. Or whatever.
- [68:02]
Bobby Bones
You make it playful.
- [68:04]
Eddie
So annoying.
- [68:05]
Female Co-host
Well, it's less annoying than just like, apparently it's a way that helps them. Like, I don't remember which parenting expert I saw this from, but it was someone I admire. So I started doing it and it does become playful. And then you are like, oh, dang. And then you play around and then they start to remember it more and they don't feel like you're just, like, harping on them. So I'm like, picturing you handing it to him and then starting to, like, look around. He'd be like, are you looking?
- [68:28]
Bobby Bones
Well, they just walk away, though. They don't have to wait for me because I've already paid online.
- [68:31]
Tech Expert
Yeah.
- [68:31]
Bobby Bones
Well, anyway. And that's a stupid story. It just. That story reminded me of that. But then also, like, I'm so curious that I'm wondering why, Because I know I would be appreciative and thankful and he probably is.
- [68:48]
Female Co-host
He just doesn't know how to express it maybe.
- [68:49]
Bobby Bones
And it's such.
- [68:50]
Female Co-host
And the reason his parents don't, like, make him guess what they're looking for.
- [68:54]
Bobby Bones
The thank you maybe.
- [68:57]
Eddie
That's so weird, man. Do you ever. You ever think about hitting them with you're welcome?
- [69:00]
Bobby Bones
No, I genuinely don't do it for the thank you. I do it in a very. A different selfish for a different selfish reason. I do it because I wish someone would have done that to me. So I think that's the cell. That's where the selfishness comes in with me, I think.
- [69:14]
Female Co-host
I don't think you have to ever explain that.
- [69:15]
Assistant (AI or Researcher)
We get it.
- [69:15]
Bobby Bones
Well, I just don't want to hear from listeners like, you're bragging about giving hundreds of sonic work. That's not it at all. So I will admit it is so selfish that I do it because, one, I'm fortunate Enough that I've worked hard enough to have it. But two, I prayed to God that people would give me tips, and good tips because it would help me for two weeks at a time.
- [69:33]
Female Co-host
I think whether you're tipping them two dollars or a hundred dollars, like, it's odd that they're not saying.
- [69:38]
Bobby Bones
But isn't it more odd that it's a hundred dollar bill?
- [69:41]
Female Co-host
Yes, but I mean, it. It. I would be curious about it, just like you. So I think it's a valid story.
- [69:47]
Bobby Bones
And also, I'm so stupid that I want to go do it again.
- [69:49]
Eddie
Yeah, Like, I'm telling you, I'd be done.
- [69:52]
Bobby Bones
I'm just like, I gotta. I gotta know.
- [69:54]
Eddie
I'd either be done or hit him with a you're welcome, maybe.
- [69:58]
Bobby Bones
Like, I know I feel like a dick if I didn't know that.
- [70:01]
Female Co-host
Yes, yes, you would be. So you should.
- [70:03]
Bobby Bones
But would it be meeting with.
- [70:04]
Eddie
But he's being a.
- [70:06]
Female Co-host
No, he's a kid.
- [70:08]
Eddie
How old is the kid?
- [70:10]
Bobby Bones
If I'm guessing 20, 21.
- [70:13]
Eddie
That's not a kid. You should know to say thank you when you get 100.
- [70:16]
Female Co-host
I'm guessing kids look older these days. I bet he's 16.
- [70:18]
Eddie
No, they look younger these days. Yeah, he's 16.
- [70:20]
Female Co-host
Are you kidding me? Some look younger, but some.
- [70:22]
Eddie
Some look, I saw a kid driving that.
- [70:26]
Bobby Bones
You sound pervy when you say that. Amy's like, some Amy. She bites her lips.
- [70:32]
Female Co-host
There was one kid, he was in high school, and I was like, that kid's not in high school. There's no way he was on the basketball team.
- [70:37]
Bobby Bones
Why? What part of his body were you looking at?
- [70:41]
Female Co-host
Including his little mustache. He was not. He was one of those older people that goes back to school and tries to act like they're in high school.
- [70:49]
Eddie
Well, they do hold a lot of good kids back.
- [70:51]
Female Co-host
This one was.
- [70:52]
Eddie
Maybe he's 19.
- [70:53]
Female Co-host
This. This one was. It was interesting. And I'm not the only one that saw it.
- [70:57]
Bobby Bones
You sound like a. You sound like a little.
- [70:59]
Female Co-host
No, no, no. All the moms. Like, we were in the bleachers.
- [71:01]
Bobby Bones
Okay. All the moms. Yes.
- [71:03]
Eddie
What on earth?
- [71:04]
Bobby Bones
Sound like Desperate Housewives. The gardener. Eva Longoria is hooking up the gardener.
- [71:07]
Female Co-host
Okay. And the dads.
- [71:09]
Eddie
No. No chance.
- [71:10]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, we're going to wrap. Thank you, guys. You have any plans?
- [71:15]
Female Co-host
But. Yeah. Well, tomorrow is supposed to go to the Tennessee game. Guess what I found out. We're not actually legit fans, so I don't have another team, and I can even cheer for Oklahoma If I want to, because I feel.
- [71:26]
Bobby Bones
What do you mean you found out you're not. You're not a Tennessee fan.
- [71:29]
Female Co-host
I know, but I didn't know if I had to be because my boyfriend is family. So here's what I learned, because at uva, we had to go all in, like, buy the gear. Everyone was wearing it. We had to. It's a big. It's a big deal. And so I thought, oh, my gosh, what am I supposed to wear to the Tennessee game? Well, lucky for us, it's blackout. So guess what?
- [71:46]
Bobby Bones
We're black.
- [71:47]
Female Co-host
We get wear black. However, my boyfriend made a comment. He was like, oh, thank goodness, because it's supposed to be cold. And he was like, I'm just glad I don't have to, like, figure out anything orange that's cold, like, because I don't. He's like, I don't want to have that. And I'm like, what? We're going. And you went to law school there, so I thought we were fans. He's like, no, no, no, no, no. The kids like to go because that's where their mom went to undergrad. And so he's not. And yes, he went to law school there, but it's not. He doesn't have a different connection. He doesn't have the same connection as. So it's more like they go because of that and, like, friends that are there, but so we're just fans of Auburn, uva. That's on his end. And on my end, it's Alabama A and M. Why Auburn? Because that's where his fan, like, he just grew up in Auburn fan. Like, if he didn't go to uva and even.
- [72:36]
Bobby Bones
He's got too many teams.
- [72:37]
Eddie
Yeah.
- [72:38]
Female Co-host
That's just two. That's just two.
- [72:40]
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
- [72:41]
Female Co-host
Like, his dad. Auburn, like, and I think his dad's still alive, like, very involved there. So it's like, you know, and you want your kids to be.
- [72:48]
Bobby Bones
I hear you. I don't know, but we're done.
- [72:50]
Female Co-host
That's what I'm doing. But I'm just excited because I don't. I can cheer for Oklahoma when. If they want. If I want.
- [72:55]
Bobby Bones
If you're dressed in black, I wouldn't outwardly cheer for Oklahoma.
- [73:00]
Eddie
Oh, remember, when they say boomer, you say sooner.
- [73:04]
Female Co-host
Could you imagine if they say boomer and I say sooner?
- [73:07]
Bobby Bones
All in black in the Tennessee section. Yeah.
- [73:10]
Female Co-host
What are you doing?
- [73:11]
Bobby Bones
I.
- [73:12]
Female Co-host
What sports do you have?
- [73:13]
Eddie
Are you going to the game?
- [73:15]
Bobby Bones
I don't think so. We suck.
- [73:18]
Female Co-host
Oh, yeah.
- [73:19]
Bobby Bones
And I don't mind going when we suck, but we've sucked so hard for so long.
- [73:22]
Female Co-host
Who y' all playing?
- [73:23]
Bobby Bones
Mississippi State.
- [73:24]
Female Co-host
What's the odds?
- [73:26]
Bobby Bones
We are a four point favorite.
- [73:29]
Female Co-host
Could be a good game to go to.
- [73:30]
Bobby Bones
I hear you. It just costs money and I'm just trying to save up to tip my Sonic drivers. Oh, right, right.
- [73:34]
Tech Expert
To get that.
- [73:35]
Eddie
Thank you.
- [73:35]
Bobby Bones
Yes.
- [73:36]
Eddie
That you're not getting.
- [73:37]
Bobby Bones
All my extra money is going to freaking Sonic drivers right now. So I want to fly back. Good. So I don't think we'll go. We went last weekend. It took it out of my wife to travel, but. Oh, last week. So like. So we probably won't go.
- [73:51]
Female Co-host
We'll just watch any more exhibition basketball games.
- [73:54]
Bobby Bones
Exhibition is over. Now the real season starts. I think we play like Southern or some. Some weird.
- [74:00]
Eddie
Oh, dude.
- [74:00]
Bobby Bones
The first, like, first few weeks, 10 games.
- [74:03]
Eddie
That's awesome. You have like Arkansas playing like your high school kids.
- [74:06]
Bobby Bones
High school. Eddie's running the chain gang.

Eddie
That's awesome.
- [74:10]
Female Co-host
Chad. Good luck tonight, Eddie.
- [74:12]
Eddie
Thank you.
- [74:12]
Female Co-host
Don't mess up.
- [74:13]
Eddie
Nah, I don't. I don't mess up. I'm pretty good at the chain gang.
- [74:17]
Bobby Bones
You don't have to do anything.
- [74:18]
Eddie
Yes, I do.
- [74:19]
Bobby Bones
You just line it up where the ball is.
- [74:20]
Eddie
No, like, if there's like a 40 yard pass, you gotta sprint because the refs are like. And especially if they're like trying to. The momentum's going. The offense is like, we gotta go, we gotta go. Chain gang's gotta be there. We gotta be set.
- [74:31]
Female Co-host
Making me nervous that he is gonna mess up.
- [74:34]
Bobby Bones
I feel like he's gonna get injured.
- [74:35]
Eddie
That's what I hear. I told Bobby last week the chain broke during a move.
- [74:40]
Female Co-host
So then what'd you do?
- [74:41]
Eddie
Fixed it. And the guy, Doug was like, that was awesome, dude. Good job. He's the main guy.
- [74:48]
Female Co-host
That's why you got invited back. Do you better just have lunchboxes? Kids aren't there. They're gonna mess with all the.
