The Bobby Bones Show. I saw that Eric Menendez not getting parole. Saw that, yeah. Said something about his behavior in prison. Well, yesterday is all written. He had good behavior. His family was expecting him to be parole. And I was too, because I had read that story. And Eric Menendez denied parole. This is from Deadline. And a blow to their freedom. And the first parole hearing for one of the Menendez brothers did not go well. Eric Menendez was denied parole after 36 years behind bars. Parole board Commissioner Robert Barton said, while we give great weight to youth offender factors, your continued willingness to commit crimes and violate prison rules was the determining factor in rejecting the parole request. Today is Lyles. Oh, okay. So Eric was yesterday. Today's Lyle's. I wonder if Lyle was better in class. I mean, brothers are different, right? Like, if two of my boys were in there, one would be a bad prisoner and one would be a good prisoner because they have different, just totally different personalities. Yeah. I'm interested now to see if Lyle gets out because they expected them both to get out. That's crazy, huh? You know what I thought? Like, man, he's a good looking dude. Eric. Yeah, I saw. Well, yeah, like the picture. Dang. That's what you thought. I didn't know he was that good looking of a dude. I think he's a little worse looking because he's aged a bit, but. Yeah, he's bald, Right? Like, that was him. Did you not know what he looked like at all? I watched the Netflix series or anything. No, but I do remember what they looked like in that court, like from just the pictures of like the news back then. But no, I had no idea what they look like now. I think Eric's the one that has hair and Lyle's the one that doesn't. Yeah, the one yesterday had hair because it was gray in it. Okay, then he doesn't look that good. Lyle looks good. Just looks like a dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Average normal dude. Yeah, I gotta see what the other guy looks like. How did this turn into which guy is hotter? Well, I just. No, it's not hotter. I just didn't realize he was that good looking of a dude. Lyle, Lyle. Is it because you have a bald head now you're just attracted to other dudes? Like you, maybe? Because. Yeah, I mean, I saw the bald head and like, dude, he looks kind of ripped and looks good. You see it? Yeah, he looks fine. I think you just like a bald headed dude because you're bald headed. I don't like bald headed dudes. No, but I think you're like, drawn to them and you're hoping people agree because they'll be like, oh, Eddie is good looking because he's bald headed. That's so next level. I didn't even think of that. Okay, let's see what else we got here. Give me, give me. Ashley in Kentucky. Do you remember when you said that North Carolina had the best of everything in their state? The oceans, the mountains, all the things. That's why you need to be a Panthers fan. Thanks. Have a nice day. Bye. Finally we got a little Panther contingent weighing in. Yeah, I don't think the geography of the state's gonna affect who I'm rooting for as a team. I think I'm gonna do today one of the. Which. Which hat looks better on me? Okay. They're both blue. Not a big blue guy in general, more of a red guy. But the blue is a different blue. It's like a baby. It's like an electric blue. Yeah, electric blue. It's cool looking. It's like a. If you were to get a highlighter, you'd like that. But you really wouldn't want your house painted that color, right? Cracker bro. And I haven't talked about this the last couple days. They changed this logo. People are mad. People aren't really mad. Like, I'll say this, the new logo kind of sucks, but there's never really been a logo that has changed my life to make me want to yell. I'm outraged. But this is what happens whenever somebody makes something political or people are screaming about culture. And you know what they. You know what happens here is people will create these, hey, let's fight about these things in culture. So you don't actually look at what's actually happening. Like, that's why all these things happen. So this doesn't matter. This has affected nobody. It will affect nobody. Also, it does kind of suck. And it's mostly people that will Never go to Cracker Barrel or have never gone to Cracker Barrel, who are yelling about it online. I go to Cracker Barrel. Yeah. That's so sad. If you've never been. It's awesome. I don't love the new logo, but I don't hate it. I mean, what did they do? Just took off the man. Took off the old man. They changed up a little bit of the font inside the restaurants. They removed a lot of what would be called the clutter and now it's just like stuff on the wall. It's just different. It's different. I like the clutter. Me too. The clutter was good. I like all of it. But the outrage is all manufactured. It's the same thing as the male cheerleaders. All manufactured. Like a couple people get online, scream about it. So other people know if they scream about it, that'll get clicks. And it actually does affect the stock price. Whenever everybody's yelling about it, it does. Now, that being said on my Robinhood app, as soon as it bailed, I'd bought a bunch of it. Right. Because it's gonna go back up because it's Cracker Barrel. The food's still the food. Now if they started messing with the chicken fried steak, we'd have a problem. Or took away the checkers. We got a problem. And I'll say again, I don't love it, but nobody is actually affected by a logo. And the amount of outrage online, it's all fake, it's all manufactured, and most of it is done by people who have never even stepped foot in a Cracker Barrel because they just want to have something to scream about. Cracker Barrel has unveiled its logo as part of a 700 million dollar transformation. The new logo drops the barrel in the man, a departure from the man's identity since 1977. The chain is also revamping its restaurant's menu and advertising to appeal to a broader audience. While some loyal fans are unhappy with the changes, CEO Julie Fais Masino insists the renovations are well received and driving positive feedback. Despite mixed reaction on social media, investors have responded. Shares of Cracker Barrel. Well, this says. Let me read you this because yesterday I did see the big news. It was like Cracker barrels down. Despite mixed reactions on social media, by the way, not mixed. It's all been hate. But that's what gets pushed up, is the hate. That's what gets the engagement. Investors have responded positively with shares of Cracker barrel up nearly 8% for the year. Dang, dude, how much did you put In Western Journal. Maybe I'm the one that shifted all that. Your Robinhood, apparently. Let me look. I didn't put in like a whole, whole bunch. I put in like 400 bucks or something. It went down. You put it in. So you should. You changed everything. Let's see. Let's see. Cracker barrel. I have, and I can just show you so you know I'm not full of crap. It's now at 56. 39 a share. It's gone up tremendously for the day, as you can see. What'd you get it at yesterday? It's 56. I made $11. Wow. Well, that's not a cash out. It is like, that's a win I have made. Now I'm up at 12 bucks. Okay, don't do the lunchbox. We're like 12, 12, 15. I know, I know. No, it's. Eddie, if you were a guy of stock, you would understand that it is like every penny that goes up, it feels pretty good. What was it yesterday, Mike, what is today, by the way? What's the date today? 22nd. So look at the 21st. The lowest on the 21st. Go back a little bit. Keep going down to the lowest part on that, on the scale. So I got it at $49. Okay, 49 and some change. And now it is at 56. It's pretty good, man. Like, if you put thousands of dollars. But I didn't. I didn't. No, I know, but like, if you played the market like that, where you're like, all right, a hundred grand, dude, you'd be so rich right now. Would you? Unless it continued to fall and then you would have lost a lot of money, which is. That's the whole point. It's easy to say that in hindsight. Sure. But what do they call those guys? Day traders? Like, those are the day. The guys that. Boom. Big ones. And then they come. They pull back out. Sure. So they go in at like 9am and then sell at 4:55pm Is that what. You know, you could move it whenever you wanted to. Like, if it started to lose more, you could go screw it. Or if it made a bit and you're thinking, well, it's going to fall back down. It's all predictive. Yeah. So. But day traders do it all day, a lot, all the time. But it also costs every time you do it. Like, there's a fee with everything when you take out. Take out a stock. Oh, like every time I buy something on Robinhood, there's like a little fee. Oh, to buy. That's how they make. How would they make their money? Ads on the app. There are no ads on Robinhood. How I figure, all the apps make money. Unless I have some sort of weird subscription, I don't think. I don't have anything on Robinhood. Anyway. The Cracker Barrel is fake manufactured outrage. And I'm saying that from someone who is like, yeah, I don't really like to change, but I might go to Cracker Barrel once every two months. Yeah. When you're on the road. Right. Like, when you're driving somewhere. Yeah. Trying to think, maybe it's like. But big Cracker Barrel guy for sure don't love it. But also, it doesn't change my life 1%. Was the old man on a rocking chair? Cause that might do. It was a chair. That might do it for me, man. It's the far left. Like, there's the whole old school logo. The barrel. Yeah. Nobody's actually upset about this. They just want you to be upset so they can use that as a reason to galvanize the group. Yeah. It's a guy. It's not a rocking chair. He's sitting on a chair with his elbow on a barrel. Okay. I think we're gonna be all right. I think we're gonna be all right, too. Stop falling for all this stuff. The male cheerleaders. Oh, the NFL, the controversy. No, it's not. It's not. There's nothing controversial about that. Not one single person canceled their season tickets because of that. But I really don't understand the old man in the barrel. Like, how is that political? No, they're just going, well, they're making it more woke. I would say they're making. I would say the wokest thing is crying about a logo. That's pretty woke. That's the wokest thing you can do. The logos change. I'm. Because taking out a man in the barrel. Yeah. To me, doesn't seem. Who cares? Who cares? I'm a little shitty baby. You won't cry about a logo. You want to spend your online currency on that. And the rich people that do it that are like, I'm so mad. Cracker Barrels gone. You never even been in a Cracker Barrel. You never. You grew up in New York City. You never even. A Cracker Barrel. So anyway, there's that. I did see, like, the Miami Dolphins logo, like, when they changed theirs, because I guess the dolphin used to have a helmet. Now the dolphin doesn't have a helmet. Really? Even with new concussion rules? Yeah, even with concussion Rules. I. I'm looking at it. I'm trying to think of like so minor that I'm looking at the dolphin. That's fine. It did have a helmet. Yeah. It's just I'm trying to think like what logo ever changed where I was so mad about it? Nothing. Because that doesn't affect your life. You can be annoyed when Arkansas, they have this front facing hog. It's kind of stupid. I don't like the front facing. Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about. Not my favorite logo. And I love Arkansas more than anything. And you know how many times I think about that? Almost none. It's almost zero times. Sometimes it'll pop up in a graphic. I'm like, yeah, not the best. I like the old school stuff. Yeah. But other logos. Notre Dame changed theirs today, I think. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He's. I think he's carrying a football now. It's like a slight leprechaun change. Yeah, he's not fighting, he's carrying a football. Yeah. Notre Dame unveils its first new logo in forever. Where's the outrage there? Exactly. The old guy had his arms up like this, like fighting. Yes. And the new guy is leaned forward and running with a football. And people will be like, man, the old one's the best. You know why? Because you're old for the most part. That's why I like the old school Razorbacks. Although all that front facing hog is pretty terrible. I remember when Miller Lite they made their can like blue and it looked nothing like the original. I was a little upset. I remember that. I was in college. But you know what happened? Well, you got over it. No, they went back. Okay, great. Then you got over and you would have gotten over it. I can't believe you remember that. I remember, dude. Cuz I'd be like, where's the middle? Like I never find it. And like, oh, they changed their stupid can. Here's the key to backlash. Just in general ignore for two days. Everybody moves on with their life, period. You can do any, almost anything now and get backlash. You can't like touch kids. No, no, not that. You can't do like serious stuff. You can do some crimes, but you can do some crimes for sure. But you see, Lil Nas X got busted. He was walking in his underwear and did he get busted? I saw the video in the morning. Yeah, he got arrested. Yeah, dude. He was, he was in his whitey tidies and I was thinking, you can't afford something better than whitey tidies. That's where my mind goes. And I thought, like, you're alone. Like, what are you doing alone? We're friends. Yeah. Yeah. Something's not good. Not good. Bad luck. They said he might have overdosed. Yeah. Yeah. Because then when he got stopped by police, he charged at him, apparently. Because I thought it was all, like, publicity thing. Like, maybe. I'll be honest. He was in his whitey tidies, and I thought, I never looked that good in whitey tighties in, like, white boots. Oh, I didn't see the boots. Yeah. That's why I thought maybe he was, like, performing something. Yeah. Didn't he have a cone on his head like a traffic cone? I didn't see the traffic cone. I didn't see that either. Yeah, I didn't make it that far in the video. I didn't either. I saw him walking and I thought, huh, what's he doing out there? And then I read the story, said he was, like, going to a party. He's like, you should come with me to this party. Yeah. Why didn't one of his friends, like, scoop him up? That's weird, man. And if they didn't scoop him up, why wouldn't, like, his friend or, like, a manager, something, drive beside him and be like, dude, get in the car. And then when a cop comes, they're like, no, I got him, I got him. I got him. Like, he's multi, multi, multi millionaire. Yeah. That's pretty crazy. What are we talking about? The logo changes? Yeah, I'm kind of over that now. Outrageous. Yeah. I was on something and lone lies that got me. I don't know what that was. Twisted me up. Raymondo wants to know the difference between a Sprinter van and a touring tour bus. Right. Where did this come from? Well, just because the artists come in here and they say, yeah, we are finally able to afford one of the big buses. And I was thinking, what's the difference in a Sprinter bus and a big bus? They're both buses that transport you places that seem relaxing. So I understand that question. A Sprinter bus is not a bus, it's a van. So it's big, though. It's big. Yeah, it's big. A quarter of the size of a real bus. Okay. So with the bus, you have to have a driver that has a cdl because the bus is significantly bigger than a van. In the bus, there are actual bunks. Depending on what your bus is like, when we do ours, usually I'll have a back bedroom, but you can also just do that to be all bunks. So you can have 12 bunks in a bus. You can have like three people in a Sprinter van. And somebody has to drive from the band. The Sprinter van. There's really nowhere to sleep. You don't really drive overnight and give everybody time to sleep. A lot of space. You don't have a kitchen. You don't have a bathroom. Buses have all that. Bathrooms, kitchens, TVs. It is a significant difference. And it's a massive price difference, though, like for me to rent a bus because I never bought a bus because we were on the road sporadically. And when I was doing stand up, I just flew into places for a bus for a weekend. It was about $5,000, not including gas, not including driver. And you have to take two drivers if you drive over eight hours. So you're talking about, you know, 6,500 bucks a weekend just for the bus, because that's gas and driver, sprinter van, you just got to keep it up and one of the band members drives and everybody kind of crams in. And some people can get back there and lay down, some can't. So it is significant. But a Sprinter van is a move up from like a small van or a car or a truck or dragging a U haul. You know, it's all relative to the money that you're making. And there are times when people. Let's say you're opening for a major artist. I'll use Luke Bryan because he was here last week. I don't know that this is the case for Luke's tour. I'm just going to use Luke Bryan to be the baby act of three. There are three acts on a major concert bill. There's the main act. There's the main support. There's the baby act. Sometimes the baby act will make like five grand a show. Their fee, what they have to pay is more than five grand. So sometimes these artists lose money by going out and doing these shows, which is why they have to do other little things on the road while they're out. A merch is a massive part of an artist and making their money now. But a bus is very expensive. So when you move to a bus, it means either you can afford it finally or you feel like the investment into the bus, even though you can't quite afford it yet, is worth it because allows you to sleep and be more rested when you get places. And then I was also. Is it the difference? Showering and one, you can just take a shower. You can, but nobody really showers in buses. It's gross. So then what's the point, you can go to the bathroom. There's a TV, many bathroom. Multiple TVs. You can. If you have to take a dump, you can. Most don't. There's kind of a rule. Don't take a dump on the bus you can pee. You don't have to stop at a gas station to do it. Ray. It's. It's like. It's like getting an apartment. Like a studio versus a two bedroom apartment. Right. But both work. Yeah, I would say it's even more than that. I would say it's like having a bedroom when you're renting it from somebody and that has an apartment and getting your own apartment with multiple rooms. Yeah, it works. It works. But again, you don't rest as much and you don't have a professional driver. You don't get to relax. There's no bathroom. You got to stop all the time. You got to keep filling up gas because it's a van. It's 15% as comfortable as a bus. It still works. Sure. But one of the bands got to switch out and drive all the time because there are only so many places in a sprinter van. You don't even have room to bring somebody on to be a bus driver because you got five people in your band. I just thought it was an extra 10ft. Like, who cares? No, it's significant. Yeah, it is. It's a. I was finally able to afford an extra two foot bus. Holy crap, man, you made it. If that were the case, I would agree with you. It is not the case. Okay. You're Talking about probably 4,500 bucks a weekend difference. Okay. That's a lot of money. And when you're not making that, that's a lot of money. Yeah. Video games on the big bus. Sure. Yep. Absolutely. You so in the big bus to. Whenever you. The big bus to. Here's another benefit. When you get to your place, you don't have hotel rooms. There's no need to buy hotel rooms because everybody stays in the bus. You sleep in the bus. And also the bus widens. You stop. Newish buses have the. It goes and put that. That part where the bench seats are. It comes out and makes the room even bigger. Did not know that. So it turns into a little apartment. Sure. Because you stay there for the night. And usually the bus only moves overnight because the bus is only driving while everybody's asleep. Because there's also these buses parked down here that I think are Teddy Swims. And they don't look that great. I mean, they look Pretty uncomfortable. Why are they Teddy swims? Because he did multiple nights in town. They've been here all week. Yeah, I thought they were Katy Perry at first. Now, hers would have a devil on them. Oh, yeah, you would know hers. They're steaming. Yeah, okay. But that's why there is a significant difference. And there's a big financial. Like, it's a commitment to get a bus. Again, I would have to pay all in six, $7,000 just to have a bus for the whole group and without making any money back. And hopefully you make that money back from playing shows. Got it. Eddie thinks Scuba might be the most interesting man in the world. Yeah, dude. He told me something. I'm like, what are you talking about? You know, Groundlings? You know, like the Peewee Herman, the improv troupe? Yeah, yeah. It's like. It's like comedy school in LA or whatever. And Scuba just nonchalant and tells me. He's like, yeah, man, I used to be a part of the Groundlings. What? He said, yeah, I was there for, I don't know, a few years. And he's like, I started the bot. I auditioned. I could tell it. Okay, go ahead. Eddie's doing a great job. What do you got, Eddie? No, no, no, go ahead, go ahead, tell the story. I was shocked. Yeah. So when I moved to la, one of the things I wanted to do was get into the camera side of things. And so I was like, well, Groundlings. As a kid, I always heard about it, Will Ferrell, all those people, they did that. And so I signed up for it, did the audition, went through the whole process, took all the classes. I was doing it while I was doing Seacrest in the morning and then doing that at night. Classes, I think, were three nights a week. How much do you have to pay for that? It wasn't that. It wasn't a lot of money because I think it was around $400. For a. What for? I think it was, like, for six weeks. Okay. So it really wasn't a lot of money. When you think about what you got out of it and what you're learning and who you're learning from, it was pretty cool to be a part of that experience. What level did you get to? I got all the way to. We do start to do character development, intermediate, and you start getting ready for shows. And then I had my son, and that became the new priority, and so I had to step away from that, and I gave it up. You couldn't do it while you had a son? No. Oh, my God, no. So it was my first kid and every night, Eddie could probably attest to this having. Oh, how old, how old were you? I was so 20, 15, like 30 something early 30s when I was there doing it when he was born. And so, I mean, I had my full time job with Ryan, which was a monster of a commitment, and then my kid and helped my wife out. So I just every night being there three nights a week and trying to balance the kid life, which I know it seems to be a reoccurring thing. I know you, you do something. I'm saying nothing. I've said nothing. I can tell by your face he knows where you're going. I wasn't going to go there. I was just listening. If you didn't want to, you do it. No, no, no. I wasn't going to say that. I wasn't going to say anything about priorities. Your kid was the priority. Yeah, but. But it is crazy that he could have been like Will Ferrell. No, we couldn't like Will Ferrell. He could have done me, Fallon. Who knows what he could have done? I'm not putting a cap on what he could have done. But it's unfair to say somebody in an intermediate level was gonna be Will Ferrell if he didn't stick to it. Well, I mean, that was like that. So the first tier. So you have to audition and they place you based on that. Most people get thrown into beginning A or B. I skipped A, went to B and then I went to beginners, which is the next one. And there's one next one. And there's intermediate, which is like that. When you start doing Sunday Company and doing shows, maybe you could have been seeing or peewee something. It was fun. It was cool. It was the coolest thing ever. Like, I think it was probably the greatest experience I had in my life and I have some friends from it still and made some great connections. But you were good, right? Like you were. I was really good at it. Yeah, dude, I'm serious. I was very good at it. I'm sure you are. I'm sure you are. So what, like, what were you better at that or basketball? Also says he could have played in the NBA. He was almost NBA level. I've said nothing, scuba. I just am listening and that's cool, man. I like it. No, I'm serious. Like I, I. Because you said you were talented at basketball. So were you? Do you think you were talented at basketball or do you think the Groundling things was even bigger? Like you could have been the Groundlings Definitely Was much more my forte than basketball. For sure. And you could have played in the NBA and the Groundlings was still better. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. He must have been really good at. You are the most talented guy that I've ever known then pretty amazing. You know, I at least give it my shot. I go out and try things I want to do and it just depends. You don't commit. Well, I do commit to. And then all of a sudden I have these massive life events that happen and then I have to. I get stuck. All I heard is excuses. That's all I heard. At any point, you could have gotten back in. Of course. At any point. Even here. It doesn't matter. I don't want to go. I don't want to be this person, man. Look. I don't want to be this person. Kids are dream killers. I don't like them. I don't like me right now. You've had every opportunity to go back and do this and you've chosen not to. And yet you go, I could have been. I could have been at your Uncle Rico. How can you do it now that he has three kids instead of one? He kept having kids and we're not in LA anymore, so I can't go to Groundling. So it's. There's some elementary version here. They're bunk. I'd rather have a brother in law that was in Second City forever. Second City's a good one too. Yeah, yeah, I'm very familiar. I'm very familiar. And my. The producer, his wife, the producer of my comedy special. Same. They're big improv, like high level. Then moved to Chicago after. After la. Yeah. So that would have been Scuba. I'm familiar with the scene, but you know what, Scuba, you could have been the next Will Ferrell. And not even that, though. I have to look at everything as like, what did I get from that? So even though I had a kid and it kind of halted everything, I learned a lot of great skills from it and had a lot of great relationships coming from it. Amen. So that's why I look, I was like. Because I could dwell like you. I do want to push forward. Don't be this person, Bobby. Don't be this person. But then. But then I also have to deal with my wife, who is the ultimate and whatever she says goes. So she's like, you're stretching yourself thin. You're not present here. You have a. You have a kid that's brand new. You have to give something up. Yeah, I completely agree. And I think You're a very talented person. So I. I'd like to lead by saying that I think you're a very talented. No, no, no. But. No, but here we go. There is a common theme. Oh, no. I didn't want to go down this road. Lunchbox has launched me. He's. He's put me into the catapult and pulled and, And. And pulled the string. I'm just saying. I mean, Bobby sat back for a good two minutes. I was going to say nothing. I was just going to listen. Go. I saw your face, though. Your face took volumes. No, he was biting his lip. He was. Yeah, but he was doing it, though. Like, how long were you doing it? Three years. For almost two years. So the thing is, I could. And I also did piano, Eddie. But. But I learned. How long I learned piano. No, but. Eight. Eight months. I could have been. Yeah, I could have been John. I could have been John Tesh. Yes. But I could have also moved to LA and said, oh, I wanted to do this, and then not done it at all, and then put it off completely. Don't do this. Don't do it. Not do it. Just do it. Don't be that cynical. And they're all the tools in my tool bag to get me ultimately what I want. And I love that, you know, what you. You be. Because I think, you know, I think you're really talented. Thank you. No, no. Do you know that? I don't know. Yeah. You're not saying English back to me. Yeah. No. You know you're not. No, no. Yes. Yes. There's moments that I feel like it, and there's moments like right now that I'm like, I don't really know. I don't think it has anything to do with talent. Yeah. I think you have a commitment issue. I think you've done a lot of things and quit. Yeah. From Lay it on Me, I got pretty thick skin. Let's go. It's not about thick skin. We've had these conversations forever. It was, I'm gonna write a script. I'm gonna do a show. I'm gonna. I'm gonna do this show. If I just had time. It's always. If something wouldn't have happened. You were always gonna do something that's. That's been a. Consistent with. And the thing is, you have so much potential. You have so much. But you always make excuses for the reason things don't get done. But it's usually other commitments that I have to prioritize. Okay. What becomes more important and a lot of it comes down to my family are our priority. So nobody with a family has ever done anything. No. They probably did it before the family. No, I don't think so. Or they neglected. It doesn't matter. Exactly. Or they neglected their family. That's the big thing right there. And it leads to divorce, and it leads to like, what I grew up with. With a father who's not there. You had a divorce? I had a divorce. Exactly. Yeah. But that led to. Because my wife didn't want to have. At the time, they want to have kids, and she was cheating on me. Yeah, that's a factor. But imagine if you wouldn't have been. Are you saying he quit? I'm just saying Scuba has a history of quitting things, just in general, but. And then saying, man, it could have been so good. But I feel like if we knew Scuba before the family, it looked like he was doing things okay. And then the family came, and it just stopped everything. And now every dream that he has now he really can't do because the family is the priority. So once you have a family, you can't make. You can't do anything anymore. If you want to be a participant in the family. Correct. I would say, also, I think being there for your family is awesome. And I think if that is what you want to do, you have to sacrifice other things, what you've done. Yeah, but you can't. You can't always go back. But I could have done this. You got to just go, I'm family guy. I love it. I've sacrificed to do this, and I'm great at it. Not. I really want to get the show done, but I moved. Dr. Phil wouldn't let me. I see what you're saying. Like, so when people ask, like, so what? Like, what are you doing? I'm like, oh, I'm a family man. I could have been the grave, and I'm a damn good family man. Yeah. No, it's like, Scuba does a lot. Have you heard of his segment? Is it classic rock? It's my favorite segment. I think about it every day. I'm constantly singing a song going, is that classic rock? So that's an excellent segment. Thank you. He's doing it also. I got a question. Yeah. If he was so good at the growling groundling, I don't know what you guys are calling groundlings. Groundlings. Don't you think they would have been like, hey, Scuba man, I really don't think I understand you got a family now, but, hey, man, come on, dude, come back. Come Back or do they just say. You know what I mean? They just let people leave? Well, I think if you're in intermediate, there's not a lot of investment there. Some they're probably like, we'd love to see you come back whenever you can. Right? Yeah, it's pretty much like that. My teacher, Ian, was like, dude, I'd love to have you back. Same thing. But I understand your priorities, your work, and your family. You know that. Wish you the best of luck. Come back whenever. I want everybody to understand. I love scuba. So have you heard from Ian since? I have about. I still. I said I have a lot of. It's not like a football coach where the. The team depends on the players being there to win. Okay. Look, I think you are a fantastic person, a great family man. Thank you. One of the best. Yep. Because that's your priority, dude. That's my number one priority, is my family. You're super consistent. That's currency, is consistency. Yeah. And I think you're really good at your job here. I believe. I believe in you. But you do have a history. We all have our histories of things that are annoying. Your history is not committing to something, moving off of it, and then claiming you would have been really good at it. Yes. Yeah. And that's it. That's good. That's a. That's a great worst quality. Yeah. Because at least I try it. I don't know. The worst quality might be choking people out and then waking up from a stupor going like, oh, I had such rage, I couldn't even see me kill that person. Yeah. Who would ever do that? That's a tough one for you. That's tough. That's tough for whoever that was. That's tough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't know what you're talking about. But again, I say I look at it as all these things that are tools. And so my time wasn't to be able to do that in this timeline, but I learned from that. And maybe the ultimate goal is to take all those things and put it into what I'm doing now. Amen. Do you think there's a timeline where you are on Saturday Night Live? Oh, for sure. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, Definitely. I'm playing NBA one time. Yes. I'm in SNL the other timeline, your final contract. You'll play the magic for very little hometown discount. Heck, yeah. Definitely. Yeah. That's awesome. Directed a movie with Steven Spielberg. Did you write the script? I wrote the script for sure. It was. Doing it now. Oh, my God. It's A whole, like, franchise. There's, like. There's, like, toys and there's merchandise. It's pretty cool, man. Which one do you like better, though? Which timeline? What's the only timeline? Yeah, because you know why? Why? Your family, man. My family man is the best. In the end, we are our priorities. That's what we are. We are our priorities. We prioritize what's important to us. You have really, like, one, two and a half priorities in life that you really can focus in on. And we are those priorities. Good, bad, neutral. That's who we are. And it's hard to be really great at anything. It's hard being great as a family man or woman. It's hard being great in a career. It's hard having balance. All that's hard because you have to commit. It's when you don't commit, that's when it kind of sucks. But you've committed, Scuba. You have made your life what you wanted it to be. But I would just say claim less, what you could have been good at. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's just annoying. But we all have our annoying things. Yeah. Yeah. And Eddie did this. Eddie set you up and Lunchbox knocked you down. And then they just made. You just made. They laid you out on a plate and wanted me to attack you. And I apologize. I did not do anything. I shouldn't have done that. I was just. I was saying that he did something cool back in the day. I tried not to do that. I sat here and I bit those little things in my mouth. A little side thing. I saw it and I was like, you know, I'm gonna let Scuba have his moment. That's really cool. Let's brag on him. Eddie just kept going. And the lunchbox was like, well, this feels familiar. And I'm like, you know what? Dunk on him. Let's get him. Let me jump in. Okay. Well, that was pretty cool, man. Thank you. It was a cool. That is cool. You gotta say, you gotta give Bobby his props, too, because he held back for two minutes. He did. I don't need props, Eddie. Passport. Do you have it yet? No, no, I don't have the passport yet. But I did not have to bug my wife about my mom about the. Oh, no. Oh, no. I do that all the time. Freudian slip. Oh, my God, dude. I do that one all the time, and I don't know why. I don't. I know why. Explain it to me. You think your wife is your mom. No, I don't. Yes, you do. She takes Care of the money. She takes care. Yes, that is exactly what you do. That. Don't even put it in my head. It's not true. You do it all the time. I know. You treat your wife like she's your mom. No, no, I do not care. Who takes care of the money? My wife. Yeah. Who's in charge of the kids? Well, both of us. She's with the kids more than I am, but. And who do you count on to make sure that your life is comfortable? My wife. Yeah, but. And where's my mom in that? No, she is your mom. My mom doesn't count the money. No, no, she did. She is your mom. Your wife. No, she's not. Dude, I'm not gonna listen to you. Hey, do that thing where you. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. I can't. Since he does that around the room. Don't you think Eddie treats his wife like it's his mom? Oh, my God. If you're looking at me. Yeah, yeah, you. Yeah. No, I'm saying. Yeah, you totally do. Why? And you even just said it. You just called her your mom again. It's just done that. So many. I'm dyslexic, guys. There are words. My head. If you called her your E. Wolf. Yeah. Your wife is the mother role. She does everything your mother did. And so to you. And so you're just, like, used to your mom doing it. So you want your wife to do it for you, too. You know, I did back in the day, have my. My wife learn how to cook like my mom. See, that's what I'm saying. You look. You want another mom. Oh, my gosh. And your wife is your mom? My mom does live in Texas a lot, but yes. So maybe I want my wife. It's that role. To be my mom. It's that role that is so messed up. I cannot. No, that's not. But had you done it once, I'd be like, that's funny. Freudian slip. Get a little joke. You've done it, like, three or four times. No, I did. I don't think of my wife as my mom. You don't have to think of your wife as your mom. Then why do those words just come out? Because you don't have to think about it. It is in you, that position, in your organization. She is serving as your wife and your mom. No, no, Morgan, come on. He needs a mommy who is on the other side of you and has to tell you to read emails. Yes. A little Bit. You need a mommy in your life. You do need this. I need Amy here. She would speak to the dyslexic thing with me. That's not dyslexia. Yeah, dude. Words is just all over my head. And I just. Wife and mom. That's not just random words. What? Wife, mom doesn't rhyme. Really? No, no, that. Those are directly associated. Anyway. Anyway, I don't have to bug my mom about getting my birth certificate because I found it online and it's coming. They said it'll be here in, like, a week or two. So you need your birth certificate? My real birth certificate. Because I sent them a birth card. Wait, you're okay. What's going to be here in a week or two? The birth certificate. Then I need to send that. Is your mom sending it? No, I did not have to bug my mom. Okay. For that because I thought first I was going to call my mom in Austin and be like, hey, will you go to the office and get my birth certificate? Because you screwed up. Okay. Which. Whatever. I don't have to do that. Found it online. I got. I bought two birth certificates. So they're gonna send. It takes a couple weeks for that to come in. Yes. And the passport office has given me 90 days to get them the real birth certificate, or else the whole application is done. Okay, so if you get it to them, then what happens? Then they review the whole thing again. It goes through the process, and then I should have a passport by. I don't know, I'd say two months. Okay. Are we going anywhere in two months? No, because. No, we're not. What a process, dude. No, I'm still not convinced it's not ICE holding this up. Whose fault is it? My mom's. Think about it. All right, let's take a break, guys.

I dreamt of having a place where voices that been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of News and cultula. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is going to push back on that colorism. All of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman aoc I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear.

Are you familiar with the term a home and home? Do you know what a home and home is? A home in a home, a home. So I was asked by the other Morgan, who is one of my managers. She goes, hey, this person wants to be on the Bobby cast. And I said, oh. I said, well, I'd consider it home and home. Do you know what that means? I'd consider a home and home. Like, because the other Morgan, number one, as we used to call her, didn't know what it meant. But then I realized, oh, that's just a straight sports reference. I shouldn't have just thrown a sports reference. No, I mean, is it like. Like a quick one? Little quickie. That's weird. That oddly got dirty, Morgan. No, no, no. It's so a home. And home would be in sports, in football or basketball, it's if you have two games and you do one at your home, one at their home. So each. Each team gets a home game. Oh, yeah. I have never heard that before. Okay, well, no, I said I do a home and home with them. And she said, does that mean a home interview at your place? Yeah, that's what I thought. You didn't even know what my own. I don't know. So when does a team ever say, like that? What's. In what situation does a team go like in college football, if both teams are significant teams where there's not a payout. So let's say if we're playing. If Arkansas is playing like Louisiana Monroe, which I think is just Louisiana now, we would pay them to come play us, and only at our stadium. We'd never go play theirs. But if you're doing a home and home, like, we're playing Notre Dame this year, we're doing a home and home with them. Notre Dame's coming to Fayetteville, and then we're going to Notre Dame. So it's a big game for both. And there's no payout because both teams are going to get the benefit of the school coming to their school, ticket sales, all that stuff. So they do that when they're building the schedule. When it's two teams, it's worthy to both get a home game. Got it. So this is a podcaster who's significant, who was like, hey, they want to come on your podcast. And I was like, I would consider a home and home. They can come to my podcast. I'll do it, and then a couple months later, I'll go and do their podcast, or vice versa. All I wanted to know is if that was just a sports reference or if Morgan, who's super intelligent, if she knew what that meant, if it somehow got out of sports. I don't think I've even seen it on social media before. Okay, it's just sports, then. Question. Yeah. You said Morgan's super intelligent. You mean like, why? What do you mean by that? Yeah, yeah, explain that. I'm more intelligent than you are. You can't even read an email. That's not what I'm saying. Super intelligent is like, why would you ask that? Well, because I do Think Morgan's very smart. If you said that. But what's the difference in very smart and super intelligent? Those words are all the same. Those are. Those are synonyms, variants. Is she. Is she super smart? Okay, guys, just because I suck at easy trivia doesn't mean I'm not intelligent. I agree. Well, that's like. She does suck at trivia. Because you suck at trivia doesn't mean you're not smart in other parts of the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it goes both ways, right? Like, there are. So if I'm really good at super easy trivia, am I super intelligent? No, but I'm good at that part of the world. But, like, you're not at other things, so. Yeah, but you're not good at other things. You can't put a chair together. Yes. Why would you even ask the question? Let me stop this segment or this podcast and go. Like is more I. Because you said super intelligent. Morgan is a really smart person. I do. Do. I think Morgan is also really motivated. I do that different. Motivation is different. Super. I'm not saying they're the same at all. I think it's a good combination. But to call someone super intelligent is. That's high. High. What did you have in, like, school? What was your GPA? I was like. I was C plus. Okay. I had a 4.0. I graduated summa cum laude. That's different. Great. That's not different. That's literally. No, that's. That's intelligence, if you want to put it to that. It could be both. It could be you're smart. It could be you're motivated. You've applied yourself. All that counts, though. You're smart enough to apply yourself. People don't factor that in. Right. Because you could say you had a 4.0. But look at, like, what's that guy's name that started Microsoft? You're just saying because you didn't have a 4.0. No, no, no, no. I'm saying Bill Gates didn't even graduate college. Okay. But that's one example. I would assume most people that are extremely successful come from a background of being extremely intelligent and having a background in. In education or having an educated background. I should say. Yeah. Something just struck me weird when you said that you think Morgan's dumb. No, no, no, I don't. What do you think? Morgan is blank. Morgan is smart. And I would leave it right there. Like, I wouldn't say that Morgan is super intelligent. You know, I think this calls for Mia not helping you anymore. It was A weird on your own because. And Morgan, this is how you know he didn't like construct this and go like, I think this will get some airtime. He said it immediately. I know. It just struck me weird. It's like when you said it, my head went. And you know what? I'm just from now I'm going to let you fumble. I'm not going to help you. I'm not going to pick up your slack. I'm just going to let you fumble. What does that mean? Because you seem to think I'm not smart. Who? He did say you were smart too. I say you're smart, super intelligent. He didn't think you're super intelligent. Like, super intelligent means you're top of the line intelligence. It's like sometimes Bobby and I will be talking, analyzing Bobby's words. He was just saying I'm smart, just in a different way. No, no. Super intelligent is way different than she is smart. Eddie, go ahead. Sometimes, like, Bobby and I'll be talking and he'll be like, dude, I had dinner with this guy. Like, he's so smart. And. And then I'll meet him. I'm like, dude, this guy really is smart. Like, that's crazy. And you won't say he's super intelligent. You'll just say he's so smart. And he will be a brilliant person. Like, that's so smart. I don't even understand what he's saying. Man, you are a hater. So when you hear him say something about Morgan, you gave her the Friday. Haters are just coming out of you. So what you're saying is Morgan doesn't jump on the page as super intelligent. Like the people you've met when Bobby says they're really smart? Yeah, I. I think Morgan is what? However you want to say it, Very smart. Morgan, super intelligent. Well, what would you say you are? I wouldn't say smart at all. Do you think she's smarter than you? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Do you? I would be like, Eddie's. Eddie's like fun. And that makes sense, right? Like. But if you say like, Eddie is so smart, I'd be like, what? I'd even be like, what are you talking about? What do you think? Lunchbox. Do you think you're smarter than Morgan? Yeah. How would you. Lunchbox is blank. I would say lunchbox is middle of the road and doesn't imply himself. It doesn't imply himself. Apply himself. Like in school. Like in school. I think you said imply. That's okay. Whatever. It doesn't matter. English Isn't my first language. What does that mean? English isn't working. Apply and imply are two different things. But that's okay. I think he. His tongue just hit the side of his tooth or something. Go ahead. I like, for me in school, like, I just didn't apply myself. Like, I could have had a 4.0 if I really wanted to study. But you sound like, screw with Steve now. No, no, no. But I just didn't study. Like, I could have if I just would have. No, no, I'm saying, like, I could. I wouldn't do my homework, and then I'd pass the test. So then I get a C in the class. It's like, all right, cool. Like, I don't really need to do the homework. Like, it's cool. But do you not hear how that's the same thing? Is what Scoop was like, I could have done this if I'd have just, like, applied myself. That's what you're saying there. Please don't put me and him together in any sort of. No, but I'm saying it's the same. It's the same. It's the same. What he was laughing at you about was going, I. I'm not worried. He doesn't even go for it, though. Like, I don't care that I didn't apply myself in school. I did enough to get by, and that's all I cared about in school. Like, that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to get by. I wanted to coast. I wasn't there to. Why do you say wanted and you, like. Like, it's past tense in college, just in general or in school? Because that's what I mean. Like, I didn't. I wasn't there to study. I was there to make friends. All I wanted to do was get by. Right. But then would you say it's smart for you to have just gotten by but then wanted and you want so much more? Like, you want money and fame, but you don't do anything for it. Right? I mean, no, it probably wasn't the smartest decision I would do. No, I'm saying even now, I would say, if you're like, I'm smarter than Morgan, like, what are you doing now to show that you're smarter than Morgan? Oh, I mean, just look at me. What does that mean? I don't understand. What's the answer? Someone says, it's not that smart. Well, what does Morgan do that's so smart? Morgan works hard, is very productive, is trusted by the company. They send her places Invest money in her to do, like, the company. Like, gives Morgan opportunities to grow herself in a lot of different ways. Like how? I just gave you examples. When they ship her places to go and cover things. What did you go cover? I went to Las Vegas for Texas. I went to Texas. Yeah. To do the affiliate. I mean, I been to Vegas, too. I covered Durst Bentley. I think you're very smart, Morgan. Thank you. I don't know why. I just, like, took random shots out of it. No, I also thought it was funny that Eddie stopped the whole segment for that because I was like, surely he's not gonna go. Huh? Well, you did. I mean, you said when you say someone is super intelligent. Yeah. The word intelligent is different, man. And maybe because you're not that intelligent, it's. It's that different to you. Really? Yeah, it gets the same word smart and intelligence. I think it doesn't. Intelligence, bigger value one. Just a longer word. So. No, intelligent is better than smart. It's the same word. Okay. It just. It's not the same word. It means the same thing. Just sounded weird. If someone has extremely high intelligence or extremely high smarts, that sounds weird. It's the same thing. You know, Eddie, it's also like. Like, I can teach myself all the new programs that they come at us and I teach myself to then teach you. So, Morgan, I could do that, too. Like, I could YouTube it. Everybody always goes, I could do that. You're doing that way. Don't. You're jumping in here. Oh, I could do that if I wanted to. She acts like she's around me all the time when I'm like. I figure stuff out all the time. She's around you a lot when you're like, please help me. But. But we're comparing the. I'm done with this. Morgan's very smart, very smart. She's super intelligent. She's. She is not the same thing. It's not. She's very motivated. She's disciplined. She's smart enough to be disciplined. What about street smarts? What does that even mean? That's totally different. Right? That's real world smart. Like, she may be book smart. I'm just asking. I would say I'm more street smart than I am book smart, and I would. Oh, my gosh. Are you serious? I mean, you can't even drive to the. I have a 401k and I have a lot of stuff. Yes, it is. I taught myself how to understand the stock market. What is street smart? I think street smarts would be having to figure out yourself in a difficult. Ish. Real life situation. Like on the streets. Well, they say streets, but you're not literally on the streets. But it's like having to making wise decision decisions in real life situations. Yes, and. But you think you're street smart. You've never had to be on the street. You grew up in a easy neighborhood. Oh my God. He does ride his bike on the street though. Now he does. He's developing street smarts now. All right, sorry I interrupted that bit. Go ahead. Dude. Good. No, it's. I was just. Sorry. Curious as to why you did that. It's just weird when you said it was like, wow, that's weird. We do have to send Morgan on a day trip. It has to be Cleveland. It has to be Cleveland. Oh, the streets. It has to be Cleveland because we committed to Cleveland. Now Cleveland's already excited about it. Oh, they know she's coming. Yes, we said it. Now Cleveland's like blowing me up. The whole city's like, we can't wait to see Morgan. So I can't back off of Cleveland. But it's been difficult looking at the flights because she gets in late. So I have two property because I'm paying for this. It's not like the company paying for it. I'm paying for it. So we got two ways we can do this. One, we can either you can either go on a weekend or I have a flight where you can leave at 9:30am It's a non stop southwest. It's an hour and a half flight. You get there at noon and you have noon until 7:30. You found a 7:30 at night. Mm. There's a connection back though. So you don't get back until 11. But I don't care what time you go to bed. Exactly. How bad is it? Like how long am I traveling for that night? The only thing is I don't like connections because it causes for delay. Not street smart. 7 to 11. This is, this is the tough part of a day trip. Like, I mean, this is a day trip. This is why the day trips tend to be nonstop. So like, you don't deal with delays. Hey, that's what. That's a whole. Hey, how much would it cost to Uber her to Cleveland? Oh, dude, that would be so expensive. Uber her back. Do Cleveland to Nashville. Oh my gosh, that's a long ways. Okay, so four hours of travel, coming back on a plane. Right? That's exactly what it is. So four hours in an Uber would be the same. No, no airplanes go okay, this is an eight hour drive. I'm sorry, for real drive? Yeah. The dumbest thing ever. What's the drive to? You just said four hours on a drive. Have. It's probably six and a half hour. Guess eight hours, 17 minutes. Okay, there you go. Okay. I would have guessed wrong. Okay. You think planes and cars go the same speed? No, she's not going direct. She had. I said I calculated the four hours of travel time on a plane versus what's the drive? It just sounded like you were going. We're smart, man. I promise. 521 miles. Oh, what's the Uber price? It doesn't even give me an option. It gives me an option to rent a car on Uber. We're in. That's interesting. I wonder if we rented a car back and you just dropped it off here. Yeah, I think at that point I'd rather do the not nonstop because I think the drive is at least eight hours. Yeah. Yeah. So I could, I could get you there. I just leave at 9:30 in the morning and you get back at 11 and you could come in later the next morning. That wouldn't be a problem. Would you want to do that? Say that one more time. Sorry, I was reading comments. No, I'm saying you could do that. Leave it in. Your flight's at 9:30. Do the day trip in Cleveland, leave at 7:30, get back at 11 and you could even come in late the next morning because you'd be getting back in late. Yeah, I could do that. Would you do that? Mm. Because round trip, it looks like it's $315. I don't mind paying that. What? Can I interject? Oh my God. I feel like she needs to come in on time because that's the whole point of a day trip. Like the whole point of the day trip is like. Well, also the whole point of a day trip is nonstop flights and we're doing something. I don't think the point of a day trip is nonstop flights that's getting back the same day. Everybody's doing non stop. Like the, the, the. It's getting there, but it's doing it all in one day. Eddie, I don't understand your point. Like, if you're giving her, oh, you can come in late. Like normal people wouldn't be able to do that on a day. Normal, Normal people don't have their boss pay for them to go on a fun trip in the middle of the day. That's true. Dang, you're a hater today, man. No, no, no. I'M just trying to do this right. You're not doing anything. You're right. You're doing it and you're paying for it. The point is, she would go. She would shoot content the whole time, load it up to our YouTube, talk about it the next day. She'd come in later. She could she get to come in for the podcast when we do this part two or the show? I don't know, but we could figure it out. Or she didn't have to come in late. She'd just get in late. We've done that before, had award shows, didn't come till midnight. Just get up and get our butts to work. So the only way I could find it. Morgan, unless you want to come back, do like four hours there and come back. No, we can do that other one. Okay. The worst one I saw one that was like leaving at 5am you don't. You still don't get until like close to noon. And that was rough because that's what this is. You get in at noon, but you don't have to leave till 9:30. Yeah. Or 7:30. Seven. No, 9:30. Nine. You leave at 9:30 in the morning. Yes. But the night one is seven and you fly back at 7:30. Okay. And there's one stop in. I don't know, where's mdw? I think it's Midway. Chicago. Oh, Chicago. Yeah. Okay. All right. All right, we'll get that going. I think that's. That's fun. And Cleveland wants to see you. And I want to see Cleveland. There you go. You know how many people have sent me stuff to go see? I'm excited. Are you not gonna do with the Rock and Roll hall of Fame you have to go to? Yeah. Cuz that's what Bobby's assistant said to do. Yeah. Yeah. Rock and roll is one of them. And then there was a few different things. It's on the water too, which is cool. The city. Yeah. So you're gonna Lake Michigan? No, you can just Uber and walk around. Cleveland's on Lake Michigan. You probably just go downtown. I don't know if it's Lake Michigan, there's a lake right there. You probably just go downtown. Everything's downtown. So it's like all walking and Ubering in, right? Yeah, I would imagine so. Taking a game. Have you ever been to Cleveland? I've never been to Ohio. I don't think I've ever been to Cleveland either. I've been to Cincinnati. How's that? Didn't mind it. Yeah, I like the campus we went to Cincinnati. Ray went with us to that football one and the football stadium. Cincinnati's in the middle of the campus. It's, like, in a hole. Yeah, but they're so far apart because Cincinnati's definitely doable. Cleveland, way too far. But, yeah, it's a huge state. Morgan, it's Lake Erie, okay? It's one of the Great Lakes. One of the Great Lakes, yeah. I knew I just saw water. I didn't really research more. Raymond wants to know who's somebody in the industry you want to meet that's new or you haven't had the chance to meet? Why? Who do you want to meet? Well, I screwed up with Toby Keith. I always knew I needed to get a picture with him, and my wife even told me. She's like, hey, his health isn't great. If he comes in studio, get a picture with him. He came in studio, didn't get a picture, and then, sadly, tragically, he passed away a month later. Okay? So if there's somebody that comes in here, I need to take advantage of taking a picture. Eddie's now Goober. Not on every guest for some reason. Right? So Eddie's kind of led me down this path and my wife. Why are you weirding out on every guest now? What are you talking about? I get pictures because you never know how long this is gonna last. I want pictures of these people. Well, we've been doing the show for, I don't know, 15 years, and I have pictures with everyone. You don't. And sometimes you'll jump and I don't. Whatever. But then you'll chase him out of the room sometimes. Yeah, well, just to change the. Change the background so it's not all on the stage. You know what I mean? Eddie's now getting paid on Instagram, and so he wants every picture, so. Not true. That's not true. It is. No, no, that is true. I do get paid on Instagram, but that's not why I'm doing it. I really want these memories because, like, you know Garth Brooks. We've met multiple times, so if Garth comes in, I'm not gonna ask for a picture. I already have one. Ray, I'm sorry to cut you off. No, I was just saying that my wife said when Zach Topp and Gavin Adcock come in, I have to get a picture with them. They both been in the past three months. Right. And so that's definitely my fault. But next time they swing by, I'm grabbing their arm and getting a picture with them. Zach, tops on. We recorded that he even performed. It's gonna be on next Friday, showcase when his album comes out. I got a picture of him, of him with him. With him. It's pretty cool. Okay, is it, Is it unacceptable? Like, what? No, it's just how you do it. What do I do? You're kind of like what they call him a gurm. Gurmy. I try to do it while he's already up there with you, like real quick. No, he starts to walk off and he goes, oh, hold on. And he starts jumping like you're just. The way you say it is really. Maybe I just need to work on my approach because I do want that picture with him. Yeah, I hear you. Maybe Sometimes it just feels kind of gross how you do it. Gross kinda man. I don't know how there's nobody. I don't even really want to get pictures. It's not because I don't want to. I'm just like, ah, it's a professional environment. And Morgan's like, bobby, you have to get a picture. I got it, I got it. I love it. That's great. So when Morgan goes, hey, Bobby. Instead she'll go like, hey, are you going to ask her for a favor after you just told her she was done? No, no, no. I'm saying to make it not so gross, she can be like, Bobby and Eddie. Pictures. Bob and Eddie. Nope, I'm good on that. Yeah. I mean, listen, I don't care what you do. You get a picture or whatever. But it is weird how you're the one that jumps up there every time. I mean, I feel like you guys. Well, Bobby, you always get a picture. But I feel like eventually everyone's going to want to get pictures. Pictures. Then we're here all day. That's true. So we can't do that. Guys do not jump on pictures. I. I literally don't care. I just thought it was funny because that's. I think that's what inspired Ray, that segment. What isn't? Who is like an artist though, that we have never met that I would like to meet? I can't think of one. I feel like we've met them all. Yeah. If we haven't met them, I don't know who they are. Right. Like, I'm thinking even like a classic country artist who maybe we've never met. I know Travis Tread's never been on the show. That's true. I've never met him, but he like blocked me and blocked half the show at one point. What about Alan Jackson? Has he ever come in we met him. I have a picture with him. I'm. I'm. Opened for him once or played right before him. And so I got him on stage. I didn't get a picture, but I talked with him. Dang. He probably won't come in because he's. But I don't think he's been in here. No. He's been on Zoom with us before. Yeah. But never in studio. Yeah. He sent me a guitar. He did. That's cool. Said, keep a country. And then I thought, is he insulting me or is he. That just his thing? Oh, no, that's his line. Turns out it's his thing. Yeah. I was like, helen, send me a guitar. Saying, hey, bro, no more Friday morning dance party. That's funny. A man in Indiana was arrested after allegedly using prop money to buy a used Chrysler. 300 cash. Like, he just walked in with a briefcase. Yeah. This guy, he hit up a seller on Facebook Marketplace and used a fake name and then got there. He gave him 1500 bucks in cash, but it was prop money. And on it, it says propmoney.com. i mean, we have. It's so real. It looks real. That's from Local 12. You did watch Amy Bradley, dude. Yes. It's weird, too. You know what's crazy is when I got on. It's on Netflix, right? When I got on Netflix, it had, like, immediately when I clicked on Amy Bradley, it said, like, continue Episode three. I'm like, I've never watched this. My son watched it on his own. So we've had some good conversations about it. It's tough to talk about because I don't think anybody's watched it. But it's. It's good, huh? It's phenomenal. It's one of those that you watch and you think about for a while. Like, I just can't stop thinking about it. Yeah. Can't say anything else. See, I've watched episode one. I've already come to my conclusion. It's tough because those episodes one and two, sometimes they take you somewhere just to pull you away, like. Yes. Yes. And they do that in this a bit, too. They kind of give you all kinds of options. Yeah. They lure you down some holes and go like, this is probably it, or. Yeah. Well, can I say something? How much can we say? Well, here's what I want to say. Does anybody not want to hear us talk about Amy Bradley? That feels like it's spoiling it, because I feel like it's a news story, and I feel like I knew everything about to Say before I even watched the show, I just learned more details about it. I will say that I didn't know anything before I watched the show. I didn't watch anything. I didn't know anything. Let's talk about it then. And anybody that's want to hear this, we'll do like five more minutes on it and we'll be done. Okay, let's talk about it. You want to hear about it? I want to hear about it. I probably won't watch it. So, Ray, you good? I'm good. If it's real life documentaries, you can say whatever you want. Okay. Amy Bradley goes on a cruise ship, what, 98, 99 or so? Yeah. And she's on with her family and her brother. Mom and dad and brother. Yeah. And all of a sudden she's. She's gone. And they're like, what? Where'd she go? Then throughout the whole series, it's eyewitnesses talking about how they've seen her since. And they have run ins with her on islands and they talk. One person talked to her in a bathroom. One guy who was in the military was like, I didn't tell the military because I was at a brothel, but she was working in the brothel. And there are pictures of her working on like a adult site that they sent when she was older. They sent to the family going, I think this is her. And they did all the matching and it matched, but they can't find her. And so then they blame like a guitar player, bass player on the boat for a while. Yellow. They. Yeah, yellow. Yeah. And so in the end. Can I say something about the base player? There's no conclusion. As soon as they showed the video of the bass player doing the bass and shaking his hips, I'm like, that's the dude. That's the dude. That's what I thought, Eddie. I saw that clip. I'm like, that's the dude. Here's what shocked me, though. And this is just episode one. So I don't even know what happens later on. Like, like, I can't believe. When they pull into Carousel, which is where, you know, an hour before they get to Curacao, they're like, hey, they alert the boat, this girl's missing. I can't believe they let the people off the boat. And I understand that they have a business to run, but they also have a. To protect a missing person. What's crazy is they're all. If you look into it, a lot of people go missing. A lot of boats. I know. And if they did that every time there'd be no boats, they'd go back. And I agree, it felt weird. I felt so weird. The guy's like, sorry, man, we're not going to ruin everybody else's vacation. I'm like, oh. I just thought, like, the whole trafficking situation like that is. That system is kind of a. A system that never ends. Like, you got people from America or from all over the country coming in to those little islands every week. Over 20 people a year ago missing from cruise ships a year. What do I think happened? And I think I said this in a bobby cast. You ever heard of Occam's Razor? No. It's whatever the simplest thing is is usually what happens. She probably fell off the side. Oh, you think so? If I were to bet money, I think it's close. I think if they were. They put the odds out, it'd be like, did she fall off the side at plus 110? Did she get traffic plus 180? Like, I think it's close. Pretty close. What about. What about the whole. The. The police saying that usually we find bodies, like, because they were so close to the area. Yeah. Curacao police were like, oh, we know this water. I've lived here my whole life. I hear you. I feel you. And I think that definitely could happen. And if that scenario happens, I think it's close. She probably was, because they were like. She liked to party. She might have got off the boat looking for drugs or with Yellow or with somebody else. And then all of a sudden they got her. And then it's like, well, then why wouldn't she leave? Maybe they have her kid. Maybe she got pregnant. And then they're like, hey, we have your kid. Because in the bathroom, they were like, she was talking about seeing her kid. Can we see the kids? Yes. And so you're not going to go. And another weird part of it, too, when they track the IPs from that site. You haven't seen this part. Lunch. While they put up all the pictures of her family. And those IP addresses would stay on holidays on those pictures for long amounts of time. The data would say that the pictures of, like, the family, somebody in those islands were staying on those pictures for more than, like, 40 minutes on holidays and birthdays. Who would do that? So they're like, maybe that's her. There's a family. See, just like from watching the first episode, I was like, those two girls on the deck, see, Yellow and her go up the elevator, and then five minutes later, he comes down without Her. I'm like, okay, he took her off the boat somehow, and that's where she ended up. You know what I. Three episodes. The episodes aren't super long. Watch all three episodes. I feel like if I were betting it. Here's a hundred bucks. Bet on it. What happened? She probably fell overboard, but I'm not dead. I'm not dedicated to that. But it's like someone doesn't stay gone that long for the most part and not make contact if they're able. If they're on a computer, if they're running around an island. And she would be how old now? She was 23. Then I like, 49 or 50. So, like, 50, I'm guessing that's just so say, like, she's 50. Do you. How long do you stay in that sex trafficking deal? Well, it's not even that. How long do you stay away and not reach out and connect with your family, regardless of. If you're not trafficked anymore? Yeah. So you're still there. She'd be 51. Yeah. I don't. But I don't know because it definitely could have happened. Dang. Dude. It's so sad. Like, just thinking of the family, all of it. Think about not knowing. Her parents are like, we're not gonna ever go to sleep. Not thinking about this. And then her brother is like, I'm, you know, old. I don't have any kids because I don't want to go through that. He's like, I've been traumatized by watching parents lose their kid and not die, but just not know. I never had kids because of that. Yeah. Oh, man. Crazy good series. What about the guy next door? Nah, I feel like just a weird dude. I feel, like, definitely weird that he goes to cruise alone and. And talks around the barrier. Like, he's like, I can just lean over. Like, you don't. He's like, it's. It'd be easy to climb around. And the fact that the. His neighbors heard him talking really loud even though he was alone. The weird. Whatever. I don't want. We're going on a cruise, and I want to get freaked out. Don't be freaked out. We're all. I've never been on. I know I've never been on a cruise, and we're doing a big cruise for us, and I'm like, nah. But we're all friends. We're all there together. We're all there together. We're gonna be able to come out with Bobby Bones is missing. Yeah. I don't want that. I Don't wanna. I don't wanna. I see Yellow on our cruise though. Dude, Yellow's daughter shows up in the third episode. Haven't seen that lunchbox. And it's like I was asking my dad about it cuz it's fishy. Cuz he had all those pictures of all the white women in his bag. They said, why would he have all those pictures in there? Well, just. But if he was like. I flirted. If he's a perv. I don't know if he's perv or not. But they don't have to court that. He doesn't have to have pictures and he's a perv and also have to be a murderer who gets people into sex trafficking or either one of those. Right. Those don't have to exist together. Could they? Sure. Because the picture was missing. But you can be a perv without being someone that's abducting people and put them in a sex trafficker was missing. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, I agree. It's. It's tough. And then everyone being friendly to her when she was on the boat, like where's Amy? But also she was like young and attractive. So. Yeah, she was one of the younger ones on the boat. So just generally people treat prettier people better. Gosh, what a crazy story. What a crazy story. But we didn't ruin it. You can still watch it. Because I knew all this before I would watch it. I'll finish it. All right. Where we are. We are done. Hope you guys have a great weekend. Can I apologize to Morgan? Morgan, you're smart. Just want to apologize. You said she was smart a long time ago. I know, but I don't want to make her feel like she's not. I think you aren't apologizing for what you said. I think you're apologizing for how it was received and for her feeling about what you said. I don't think you have any remorse about what you said. I don't think you've changed your mind about. I don't feel like you've changed your mind about what you said. I feel like you just don't. No. No. Because I still believe you don't want to deal with the reproduction. Highly intelligent. Yeah, very intelligent. Intelligent. Very intelligent. Whatever. It was next level. But you still don't believe it. So why are you apologizing? Just for the way she. I don't want to. He's apologizing because he still needs her to do things for him. No, not true. Not true. I just don't want her to feel like she's not smart. Morgan, you're smart. Well, you want her to go home and be like, I'm not smart. Do you think she takes what you say and goes home and pouts about it? I don't know what people think. I don't know. Morgan, I think you're very intelligent. Thanks, Bobby. And I appreciate the apology, Eddie. And I also said that not from a place of me having to say it. I just said it naturally. Yeah, you just said it in the beginning. Just talking about other things. Yeah. Okay, Eddie. Sorry you don't believe that. Your apology not accepted. Not for me. Because I don't think you really meant it. We'll see you guys on Monday. I don't know if Amy's back Monday or not. She's still pretty sick. And if she's like crackly in her voice, I'm gonna. I'll have her stay off until she's back. Cause if she comes back crackly and then crackles it more, it's gonna be another month of her being sick. But she's very sick. Hopefully she's back Monday.
