Here's your host, Bo.
Matt Castle
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
We're recording this before we do the show today. I've been out for like five, five hours. It feels like I didn't sleep wonderfully, which is not big news. But there's like one place on UberEats that I can order at like 3:30 or 4 in the morning. And it's like a 24 hour but like kind of local mom and pop place. I want to say the name because the last time I set a product on this that I liked, they sold out and never sold again. Remember when I came on, talked about the million dollar orange juice and I was like, it's the best orange juice ever had in my life. They don't even put that out anymore because so many people ordered the orange juice that they ran out of orange juice. So I will not say what it.
Matt Castle
Is that backfired on you.
Bobby Bones
It did. So I ordered this morning at like 3:45 and I'm like, I'm gonna eat breakfast, can't sleep. I'll go ahead and get started on my day. Not crazy, probably a little early, but I just didn't go to sleep until late last night. The guy rang the doorbell.
Eddie
Oh.
Bobby Bones
I specifically wrote in the notes. First of all, I put leave it on the door on the note where it gives you an option. Not even in the note. Like, where do you want it? How do you want it? Just leave it at the door. And then I wrote a note, Please do not ring doorbell.
Matt Castle
Dang.
Bobby Bones
He rings the doorbell. What do you think happens in my house when someone rings the doorbell? Don's Marvelous, dude. Like, 4th of July fireworks show. These dogs are. And so my poor wife. Doorbell rings. Dogs are going crazy. She's like, what's happening? What's happening? I open the door and I'm like, oh, man. Wish you wouldn't have rung the doorbell. And he was like, I didn't see it. And I'm like, did you look at the note? I don't know why I have a conversation.
Eddie
Yeah, like, why I'm surprised you talked to him.
Matt Castle
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I was half cranky and I was half asleep still. And I was like, trying to save other people who this is happening to. I was like. I put in the. No, I wasn't angry. And he goes, oh, I never look at the notes. And I'm like, why do they exist? What do you mean you never look at the notes? I still tipped him, like, 10 bucks because I felt bad he was delivering overnight.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And he didn't do it on purpose. There was nothing malicious. But how do you not look at the notes? That's the number one thing about that. Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, you feel like you gotta pay attention to what you're doing.
Bobby Bones
It's so disappointing.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So what? What's gonna happen is I know I'm gonna hit the wall earlier today.
Eddie
Hit the wall.
Matt Castle
He's gonna get tired.
Bobby Bones
There's a point in I have a wall every day. Because from the moment I wake up, work starts.
Eddie
From the moment I wake up.
Bobby Bones
What's that?
Matt Castle
I don't know that song.
Eddie
Before I put on my makeup.
Bobby Bones
You may be singing something. I know, but whatever.
Matt Castle
For you Forever and ever. I didn't know it started your melody.
Eddie
Oh, come on my mind.
Bobby Bones
Work out it again. No, I want to hear it again.
Eddie
Say it. Say you say it from. Okay, you said it. And then my brain endedly go. Instantly went. From the moment I wake up.
Bobby Bones
That's better.
Eddie
Whenever I put on my makeup.
Bobby Bones
That's better. You got it now.
Eddie
Little prayer for you forever and ever.
Bobby Bones
You got it.
Matt Castle
You got it.
Bobby Bones
You got it. You got it.
Eddie
Okay, keep going.
Bobby Bones
I don't remember where I was.
Eddie
You said, from the moment I wake up.
Bobby Bones
Oh, don't work immediately. Work starts. Because I'm like, eyes open. Okay. What do I have to do? There's no buffer time. So. So and then I have 9,500 podcasts now that I have to do, which aren't. Was it. It's not my choice. I would have. I'm oversaturated right now, but that's okay. I'm gonna get through.
Eddie
It's not your choice.
Bobby Bones
Not really. Can I tell you why?
Eddie
Yeah, I'm wondering why.
Bobby Bones
I guess it is my choice, but I had to make choices based on things that weren't just about me. So I'll elaborate.
Eddie
Sacrifice.
Bobby Bones
For example, when we do pre shows and post show, I could easily just get other stuff, commercials, other stuff done. We don't have to do this. There is nothing that we get that's a bonus for us to do any extra podcast. We don't get paid extra. We literally get nothing other than we hope our listeners like the extra content.
Matt Castle
Right.
Bobby Bones
That's it. That's the only reason we do this. So don't have to do it. But we dedicate two or three days a week, sometimes more, occasionally less. If I'm on the road to doing each week a few extra hours of content. So that's a choice where I could go, I don't wanna do post shows or pre shows or anything. Right. You with me?
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Paramount reaches out like three months ago and they go, hey, will you do a Yellowstone podcast? And I'm like, they say, first, do you watch Yellowstone? And I was honest with them. I said, I loved Yellowstone, but I fell off like halfway through the Governor season. Not for any reason, but yeah, I loved it, but I'm not totally caught up. So I want to be honest with you guys. And they're like, oh, cool. But, you know, I said, are you kidding? We talked about it every week. So finished the show and they were like, we do a podcast. I was like, I don't have. I don't know if I have the capacity to do one, like forever. And so they go, just do eight episodes. I'm like, I'm in. Because the company was making a bunch of money off of it with Paramount, and I love Yellowstone and it was only eight episodes. And I'm like, I could have a limited series because I really do like the show. So I agreed to that because it's a weird time for media companies as far as money because they don't have any. And so I'm like, I'll do it. Companies gonna make a bunch of money. I'm making very little, but enough to be a hero here at the company. You always want to be a hero, have hero projects to where, like look at me. I'm sacrificing for the greater good of the company. But also I really do like Yellowstone, so it seems kind of easy. So that's one I didn't have to do, but I felt like I need to do that one. Only eight episodes. I like it. Like, I'm interviewing Teeter today, which is pretty freaking cool.
Eddie
So do you think she's gonna talk the way she talks?
Bobby Bones
Probably not.
Matt Castle
Which one's Teeter?
Bobby Bones
The Contra girl came off.
Eddie
Hey, Mary. Hey, Mary.
Bobby Bones
Hey, man. What you mom.
Matt Castle
That's how she talks.
Bobby Bones
Kinda. Kinda like Boomhauer but female. And she's like a model in real life or something.
Eddie
Oh yeah, she's really cool.
Amy
I woke her up.
Bobby Bones
And her name, I was looking at the notes. It says don't call her Jennifer, only Jen. Jennifer Landon is her name.
Matt Castle
She's related to Michael Landon?
Bobby Bones
No way. Oh, it says don't ask about her father who was an actor and a filmmaker. Her dad was Michael Landon. That wasn't in the notes. Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven.
Eddie
Oh, highway to Heaven.
Bobby Bones
I believe it's been forever. Little House on the Prairie and How Way to Heaven. He was Bonanza back in the day too, as a young, young man, Arkansas Keith may watch Bonanza.
Eddie
I know exactly who that is.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know that was her dad. So, like, I'm looking forward to it. I interviewed the senator slash governor. Well, she was governor first, then senator on Yellowstone. That'll be episode one next week. But like, I feel like that podcast, if had it been a full year, I couldn't have done it. But eight episodes and I get to interview Teeter and like, okay, I'm going to do that. So I have that going on. I did not pursue and I love it and I think it's going to be crazy good and be successful. But I didn't pursue the NFL podcast. They came to me and they were like, hey, we need somebody who can talk sports intelligently. And they only came to me and they're like, will you do this? And I was like, I don't have the credibility to be on NFL, like your network as just myself. So I can do it if you give me a player. But you gotta understand, I have a podcast that we all own. 25 whistles. That's like our baby. And NFL was like, great, do one episode a week. We'll find you a co host. We'll pay for a co host. And then they let me like talk to people, audition people, see who was available. They gave Me, like, NFL players, phone numbers. I was, like, calling people, being like, you want to do a podcast? And so I couldn't say no to that. That is a crazy opportunity. I was watching NFL Network last night because I was getting an IV last night, so dehydrated. I think I have a stye in my eye. I think I have all four of the Quad City viruses, whatever they call it.
Eddie
Well, you've thought that for a little bit, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do have a stye in my eye. If I have sunglasses on over the next couple days, just me chilling, I know what's up. Yeah, but they put. I'm not kidding. On NFL Network, they put a whole. Our logo up. And as they were doing a show, and the logo stays up for, like, two minutes of Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle.
Matt Castle
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Out of nowhere.
Matt Castle
Awesome.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Have you seen that meme where DiCaprio, he's pointing at the television. It's a very famous meme where he sees himself on tv. He's like, oh, my. That was me with my wife last night. And I was like, oh, my God, that's our logo. I put it on my Instagram story.
Matt Castle
What does she say when you do that?
Bobby Bones
My wife is the perfect balance of doesn't give a crap, and also isn't surprised when things go wonderfully. It's a weird balance because I say doesn't give a crap. She does give a crap.
Eddie
But she doesn't because she's supportive.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I say she doesn't give a crap. But, like, she doesn't.
Eddie
Like, she doesn't think more of you.
Bobby Bones
She doesn't, like, think it allows. Like, she's not taking it and being an influencer because of it. She's not like, ooh, the more famous you get, the more. Sometimes she's like, I would just like for you to be home more. She doesn't want me to pursue things because it pays a lot of money. She's like, what if we turn this one down? I know it's good money, but you're gonna kill yourself. So she doesn't give a crap in that way. She gives a crap if it makes me happy and we get to spend time together. Cause her love language is spending time together. I could buy her all the things in the world I've tried, and it's fun. And she's like, this is fun, but her thing is time. If I can give her time, gifts don't matter. Which has kind of been cool. Cause I'VE kind of fallen into that a little bit. And she does like it. It's weird.
Eddie
Oh, fun.
Bobby Bones
I used to just, like, buy her stuff and be like, she's gonna love it. And then I'm gone for three.
Eddie
Imagine that.
Bobby Bones
Dude. It's crazy.
Eddie
She's verbalized, though, that it's quality time.
Bobby Bones
I know, but I don't. My love language is gifts. Giving them and getting them.
Eddie
Right. So, I mean, that's just a win win for her. Now she's getting quality time. But you still love to give.
Bobby Bones
I do love to give gifts.
Matt Castle
That's true.
Bobby Bones
And I think how she grew up, she spent a lot of time with her family. All the time. They spent a lot of time together. And so she loves that. How I grew up, I like gifts because I never got stuff. So I have that kid in me that's like a present. Oh, my God, this is awesome. And so I want to buy everybody everything too, all the time. Like, my favorite thing to do is to give stuff to people. And so that's our love language to her. She wasn't surprised by it, but she was like, that is cool. You said they were gonna support you. Of course they are. It's a good show.
Matt Castle
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
So at the same time, she'll be watching like, a Bobby Lee podcast, and I'll be like, why don't you watch mine? She's like, I live with you. I don't want to. I have to hear this material from your real life all day.
Matt Castle
She lives your podcast?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. She was like, what do you mean? If you ever walked in and I'm watching your podcast for an hour, she's like, check my head, because I'm with you the other 14 hours of you doing material but not really doing material. So that's how she reacted. She's like, that's really cool because you had hope they were going to give you support. I was on NFL network for, like, two days ago. They had me on for, like, 10 minutes on a. So that show I could not turn down. Right. I felt like I couldn't turn it down because who gets to work. Sorry. Who gets to sign a deal with the NFL?
Eddie
That's how you want to say it just because it makes it seem like you're an NFL player.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, and my contract. My co host is. My co host is awesome on that show.
Eddie
He's also an NFL player.
Matt Castle
You do have an NFL contract.
Bobby Bones
I do have an NFL contract.
Matt Castle
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
It's crazy.
Eddie
Does it have the NFL logo?
Bobby Bones
Yes. And not only that, there are so many rules about the shield, which is what they call it. The logo, like on our logo of that podcast. Like, it. None of the. Like, it's me and Matt Castle, who played quarterback for the Patriots, the Chiefs, and backup quarterback with the Titans for a little bit. He. Like, we. Our heads can't be covering any part of the shield. The shield has to be a certain size. Like, it's a real brand. They take it really serious, I guess.
Matt Castle
It is a shield, right? Like, that's what they call it.
Eddie
A real brand.
Matt Castle
I didn't.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I never worked. I never worked where they were like, so precious with, like the symbol. Yeah, it's a real. That symbol of that brand that is like their baby. It's got to be a certain size.
Eddie
And they call it a shield.
Bobby Bones
It's the shield. But it does look like. So it is a shield.
Matt Castle
A shield.
Eddie
The shield.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Matt Castle
I don't think they just call it. I think it's actually a shield.
Bobby Bones
That's why they call it that. It's the shape of a shield. Yeah.
Matt Castle
Pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
So I don't feel. I didn't feel like I could turn that down. And I wanted to make sure though, if I did, I could still give the attention to our child, which is 25 whistles that we own. I don't own that NFL show. They are my boss completely. And that's a little weird because. And I like them, the NFL people, but I could get calls from them going, like, hey, this week, let's do this. And they don't do that here. But I've also have 20 years of working with the company proving I have an 80% success rate probably with that. They don't really know me. I'm just a dude. But I need a credibility. I got to hire an NFL quarterback and we do the show. So that was another one. The Bobby cast that's been. We've done that for 1922.
Matt Castle
Long time.
Bobby Bones
Been doing it forever.
Matt Castle
How many episodes you guys have?
Bobby Bones
500. Almost of once a week, by the way. And that thing we only do once a week. Every once in a while, if we do so much content, we'll put up an extra episode. But that thing is a monster in terms of streams. And so we can't neglect it. Just because it's been around longer doesn't mean it's not as valuable. And sometimes you start to get shiny toy syndrome, where you just wanna play with the shiny toys that are new. And so, like, Mike and I have to focus in on that. And so it's a lot. I know it's a lot. It's too much right now, but I love it all. But it's why I'm not touring. It's why I'm not on the road doing anything. We're not off flying away doing too much access. So, yeah, that's the point. I don't know. I got on this tangent for some reason, but I.
Matt Castle
You're doing a lot of stuff.
Bobby Bones
Merry Christmas. Yeah. I don't even know why I was saying that. Oh, I hit a wall at some point.
Eddie
Like today, the moment I wake up. Yeah, that's where you started.
Bobby Bones
Today I will. Nobody cares, but I will do this. I have the Jen Landon interview after the show. I have to be interviewed for a podcast. I have an NFL creative meeting. So it goes until like, three, right up until workout.
Matt Castle
Let's kill the workout until four.
Bobby Bones
Dude.
Matt Castle
Like, seriously, I'm hurting so bad today.
Bobby Bones
I hate working out.
Eddie
Yeah, kill the workout.
Bobby Bones
I've never liked working out in my whole life. The fact that I have stayed working out three, four, five times a week for as many 20 years, I think that's my greatest accomplishment. It's not a bestseller.
Matt Castle
It's not that you've continued to work out.
Bobby Bones
It's that I do something that I hate almost every day because I know I'm getting more out of it than I'm putting into it. And for me, it's not the mental part where it's like, I just go work out and forget. No. It said, there is a fat man inside of me that's begging to come.
Matt Castle
Out, that wants to sit there and begging.
Bobby Bones
He's like, please let me live. And I'm like, no, sir, you'll stay in there.
Matt Castle
I want a bowl of cereal.
Bobby Bones
I want three this morning and five tonight. And me doing that not only does the whole fitness thing, but also it's like, if I'm investing this much time in exercising, I can't just be reckless with food and eat a bunch of crap, because then why even exercise?
Eddie
Oh, I brought us some cookies.
Bobby Bones
Nice. Perfect.
Eddie
Today.
Bobby Bones
And I'm good. I'm not. I'm not in my. I'll call it. Because I don't ever think I've had an eating disorder. But my disordered phase, which sometimes listeners will get on me, is when I have to be on tv because it looks. You look way bigger on television.
Matt Castle
Like, fatter. Yeah, it's a camera thing.
Bobby Bones
So I will lose a bunch of weight to go on television. Like, oh, he's Crazy again. No, it's strictly a professional thing. Same reason I get haircuts. Otherwise I would just let it grow forever.
Matt Castle
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Matt Castle
Like down to your butt.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Matt Castle
Now, yours wouldn't. Yours would. Yours would curl up.
Bobby Bones
It'd be Sideshow Bob. Yeah, for sure. What's happening over there?
Eddie
Well, I started to. Because I wanted to look at the name because I just got these cookies, and so I was just gonna. They're all. I got them all because 100% of the proceeds go to fire relief in LA, because the girl that was that big bag is. Yeah. So it's a place.
Matt Castle
I love gifts.
Eddie
It's a place in Nashville here called Culture and Co. It's on Charlotte Eleanor.
Bobby Bones
They're going to be no more. Have I told you about orange juice?
Eddie
So she has family members that are impacted, and this is her small way of, like, giving back to where she's put up these cookies and you can get them. And then all the proceeds from these cookies are going. She's going to send it to her family there. And they've got different organizations they're working with, but she's just like, you know, I just like seeing everybody doing their part and what they can. And she bakes Culture and Company or.
Bobby Bones
Culture plus Co. Like, just Google it then. Yeah, Culture and will they mail cookies? Because obviously a lot of our listeners are all over the country.
Eddie
I don't know. I just saw one of my friends that actually lives in LA sent me the Instagram post of Culture and Cove from here in Nashville, and she was like, hey, she knows I live here. So she said, hey, in case you're interested. And I was like, boom, I'm gonna pick up some cookies tomorrow. And so I just placed an order and I did, and I went and I picked them up, and they're so cute, and the packaging's great.
Bobby Bones
And I love cookies. I love milk, but I can't eat dairy.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, I don't think there's dairy in here.
Bobby Bones
No. I want milk with cookies.
Matt Castle
No, there's no lactose in the mouth, dude.
Eddie
Saying, there might be. There might be dairy here, but tell.
Bobby Bones
Yourself, I'll eat milk in a cookie, but I won't drink milk.
Eddie
Gotcha. Can you drink almond milk?
Bobby Bones
Yes, and I do sometimes.
Matt Castle
It's not the same.
Bobby Bones
It's not the same.
Eddie
Pour it over ice, let it water down all the milk.
Bobby Bones
I don't want it watered down. That's a thing. Almond milk is. It's fine. I love cereal so much, I've resorted to Putting almond milk in cereal. Yeah, but I don't drink the milk afterward.
Eddie
That's okay.
Matt Castle
After Cocoa Puffs, you don't drink the milk.
Bobby Bones
I don't eat Cocoa Puffs. Oh, well, that's the problem. No, but the cereal I eat, the milk tastes great after if it's milk. But I don't drink the milk. So it takes away a bit of that experience. Almond milk. And by the way, legally, I don't think they can even call it almond milk anymore. Because what we drink is something called malk or malk. M A, L, K. Yeah, malk. Any of the almond milk that we get never says almond milk. Now it says like almond something. Cause legally, I don't think you can say milk without milk by an animal. Milk.
Eddie
People got mad.
Producer
Usually beverage.
Bobby Bones
Like what does it say?
Producer
Like milk beverage or something like that.
Bobby Bones
It's something where they cannot now say almond milk. Straight up.
Eddie
Liquid almonds.
Bobby Bones
Will you Google and see what that rule is?
Matt Castle
I haven't noticed.
Producer
That was the other dairy companies getting mad.
Eddie
Yeah. Because they're like, you're not milk.
Bobby Bones
It's not milk.
Eddie
But we're not.
Bobby Bones
It's not from a teat. Yeah.
Eddie
We're not confused, though.
Bobby Bones
I was at first. Almonds have teats.
Matt Castle
Yeah. I didn't know where.
Bobby Bones
Then I learned real quick they just basically put them in water. It's fine.
Matt Castle
I pictured them squeezing the almonds.
Eddie
So the malk. I mean, that's a brand where it says almond malk.
Bobby Bones
It's huge letters.
Eddie
But it's M A Almond Malk.
Bobby Bones
It's M A L, K. That's the name of the brand.
Eddie
It's not milk. It's malky.
Bobby Bones
The FDA defines milk as secretion from cows. So non dairy milks, like almond milk, technically cannot be called milk.
Eddie
Okay. So we're drinking secretion from nuts.
Matt Castle
Can we call it almond juice?
Bobby Bones
That sounds weird too. It's not a juice, though. It's not sweet. Juice is sweet.
Amy
Does juice have to be sweet?
Bobby Bones
Think of it. I don't know.
Matt Castle
Olive juice isn't sweet.
Bobby Bones
Olive oil, olive juice.
Amy
Pickle juice isn't sweet.
Matt Castle
Pickle juice is not sweet.
Bobby Bones
I think probably most are, though. So that you would buy. Do you? I guess you could probably buy just straight pickle juice. No pickles. But I think that's kind of rare.
Matt Castle
I don't know. Like, I've never seen that.
Bobby Bones
I'm sure you can at somewhere. But I think most juices are sweet.
Matt Castle
Orange juice, apple juice. Yeah.
Amy
Lemon juice. Sour.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But don't drink that you kind of use that as an additive. So what could you call almond milk?
Matt Castle
Almond milk.
Bobby Bones
That's what it's called.
Eddie
It's the brand.
Bobby Bones
But there's like, what about we gotta do the show anyway?
Eddie
Well, no. Now I'm very curious. I never heard this. That you couldn't say.
Matt Castle
Could you do almond secretion?
Bobby Bones
Almond beverage? Ooh, that would be disgusting. I don't wanna drink anything that has the word secretion.
Eddie
As long as the label clarifies how their profile differs from cow's milk, then they can say milk. But it has to say it like this came from a plant.
Bobby Bones
And I think too, they're a bit worried that it will be an official, official thing. So they have all this stuff they've created that they then have. Okay, we have to do the show. Okay, bye. Okay.
Matt Castle
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Forever and ever. All right. We're going to do the show in real life. So I hope you listen to the live show and then we'll come back to do some post show in a little bit. Playoffs.

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards, multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirror ball trophy from Dancing with the Star. So where else are you going to find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? Based in Nashville, we're more than just your basic NFL show. We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit everything. Because we got lots to say. I texted you and you texted me back. Now, I don't know if you have the update, but like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it and the heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm going to be honest, it was a little pink. There was something sentimental when you. When you send it. It was like, do I send the heart now? I don't like the color edition. It's extremely pink. Let's have a lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Bobby Bones
It's time for the Bobby Bones Post Show. Here's your host, Bobby Bo. It was fun to play Land Law today. It was on the show, hopefully. You got to hear us play Land Law. It's a duo. I'm not. I don't think they're brothers. I think their names make land law.
Matt Castle
Oh, is that right?
Producer
I think they are brothers, though.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they are. Do their names make landlord their first names?
Producer
Things like Landon and.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Lawson. Interesting. It's taking her off when you gets it. We took this from Tick Tock, right? Will you give us a little bit? It's waking up, busting your butt, trying to earn a little extra pain. There you go. That song is called country to the Bone. It's Lance Curtis and Lawson Wayne Lawson. Wow.
Matt Castle
I nailed it.
Bobby Bones
You know why I didn't think they were brothers? Because they don't put their last name Lance Curtis Lawson Wayne. Unless one of them got married and took their wife's name.
Matt Castle
Interesting.
Producer
I think it's first and middle name.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, probably. Yeah, I guess so. They're brothers. One of them's really tall.
Matt Castle
That's the second guy.
Bobby Bones
Are they twins by any chance? Is it like, Ray? Where. Ray's twin brother's way taller than him. Anyway, I hope you check them out. We got to do one of these again. They have a song called Hillbilly Legal. Amy, when you hear that Hillbilly Legal, what comes to mind?
Eddie
You're just hearing the title. Hillbilly Bone down deep inside.
Bobby Bones
What do you think it's about?
Eddie
Hillbilly Legal. A lawyer from hillbilly land.
Bobby Bones
Interesting. We thought it was about under. Like, hooking up with somebody underage.
Eddie
Oh, God.
Bobby Bones
That's what comes to mind.
Amy
Oh, I thought I was marrying your cousin.
Bobby Bones
So, okay. All that. Interesting.
Eddie
Oh, Hillbilly Legal.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Like, it's okay. We can do that.
Bobby Bones
That's what we thought.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's not maybe. Actually, it's about. It's about. It's about moonshine.
Amy
Oh.
Matt Castle
Like drinking on.
Bobby Bones
We did a whole Bobby cast on Land Law. If you go to our podcast from last week, we spent, I don't know, 30 minutes and we listened to a lot of songs, and Hillbilly Legal was one, and we thought, oh, this may not like what? And it turns out it was about moonshine.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
The. The title, though, would lead you to think it could be many things.
Eddie
Hillbillies.
Bobby Bones
Anytime you have to, like, define that something's legal, I feel like maybe you give a little more direction. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm rooting for them. It says the brothers are excited about sharing their new Outcome Music with their fans they've been working on with heartfelt lyrics and harmonies. So get ready for their fresh sound. Land Law.
Matt Castle
The fresh sound.
Bobby Bones
It's not even there. From Arkansas.
Matt Castle
They're not from Arkansas.
Bobby Bones
No, they are, but that's why I was drawn to them. I didn't know if it was real or not.
Matt Castle
Maybe that's how they showed up in your algorithm.
Bobby Bones
I get a lot of country music, but maybe it's the combination. There are certain people, we talked about this a bit on the show that want to buy TikTok, that know they're not going to get the algorithm with it. Like Mr. Wonderful. Like, we got a group that'll pay, I think, 20 billion, but China's not going to sell the algorithm. Without the algorithm, though, it's nothing.
Matt Castle
But can't you just kind of create an algorithm?
Bobby Bones
Well, if you could just create a successful algorithm, A lot of people would.
Matt Castle
Do it because, like, don't you kind of know how it works and how you can change it yourself? By watching certain.
Bobby Bones
What's an algorithm to you in your mind?
Matt Castle
Like the system that plays, that feeds whatever you need.
Bobby Bones
Define algorithm.
Matt Castle
It's tough.
Bobby Bones
No, I know. It is tough. And I'll look at the actual definition. I'm just curious as what you think it is.
Matt Castle
Okay, well, what I picture are the numbers that create the. Gosh, what am I.
Bobby Bones
What?
Matt Castle
The words I'm looking for. The numbers that create the command that they're telling that website or that whatever it is to feed you video. Like, it's a system program that feeds you certain videos and it's customized to you and what you want to watch.
Bobby Bones
Long definition. Yeah, Right. Based on your actions, gives you things that would keep you on longer and consume more. So that's what I would say. I'm going to read the real definition here.
Matt Castle
Oh, great.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, you're not wrong.
Eddie
Yeah, I think that's accurate.
Bobby Bones
It's just a lot of words. Yeah.
Matt Castle
I didn't really know how to explain it.
Bobby Bones
Algorithm is a set of instructions that a computer program uses to perform a task, such as ranking search results or filtering content. Okay. China will not give up the algorithm even if they sell it. They've said it. We're not giving up the algorithm. There's something about it, and TikTok is the best because what they're looking at is how long you stay on stuff, what you like, who you follow, what they like, where you live, geographically, your age. They'll predict what you'll like without you ever having to look. So there's something about that, that IP that they're not going to give up because it will reveal something they're doing.
Producer
You know, the other part of the algorithm that blows my mind is whenever you see a video, you get fed one, and then you get it fed from every single perspective of like, say it's like someone falling down a building. You see, like, his perspective that he uploaded. You see another person who saw it. Like, you can't go on any other site and have it fed to you that way.
Eddie
You mean on TikTok?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, and sometimes I do now just trust their algorithm. So if I see something and I'm like, I sure wish I had part.
Producer
Two, you're gonna get it.
Bobby Bones
I won't even go to the. Sometimes I will if I'm really interested, but if I'm like a seven, I'm like, I'd be curious to know what happened here.
Matt Castle
You will get it.
Bobby Bones
I know that I watched it long enough that the algorithm is gonna bring me back. Or if there's an update later, let's say it's not even a video posted. And let's say I'm watching Heidi and Spencer talk about the fires, but I don't follow them. And I watch. I know the algorithm is going to bring me back, but they won't sell that if they do sell. Now, TikTok is the best of all the social media. It's the best. No doubt about it. I don't want it to go. I don't think it will go. It may for a second be shut down. It's too big to fail, in my opinion. Also, Trump wants it and he comes into office the day after and it's not like he can just go, I declare it's up. But obviously he has a lot of pull in this. But it's interesting to see who blinks first because that's where we are. It's a game of chicken. It's the United States versus China because again, China doesn't own ByteDance, but they in that country. You. You over. You're over everything to the government. Now, the other one we talked about this morning, red. Red door, red click, Red Note. Red Note. A lot of people are on it. That is directly the Chinese government owns that one. And they say in the terms of service, like, we're here to promote our Chinese values. And people are like, we love Red Note, but it's actually has it as a Chinese name. But they give it, yeah, Red Note for us. A lot of people are downloading Red Note just in case.
Matt Castle
I did get your. The TikTok you were talking about yesterday, about the Chinese spy. Hi.
Bobby Bones
Finally say it.
Matt Castle
I'm your Chinese spy. I got one of those yesterday.
Bobby Bones
That's good. That's funny. People are funny. People are funnier on TikTok than ever in the history of any social media. That's why I like it. And it doesn't matter what you're into. There is a corner of it on TikTok. You have your own corner. It doesn't matter. 90s wrestling, crocheting tadpoles.
Matt Castle
What are you into anything?
Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter. It can be the most random thing and there is a community there. Like China has got it figured out. So we just cross our fingers and hope that it doesn't get canceled forever. I don't think it will. I'd put top dollar.
Eddie
I know. But I was thinking if it does we'll be like, that was a wild time.
Bobby Bones
Well, remember those days was shut down. Kind of like it went away. Like, they did a lot of changing, which made us get off. We were getting off anyway.
Eddie
But it kind of.
Bobby Bones
We do that with MySpace. Remember the days? Top eight spaces every day. Oh, my God.
Amy
Why did we get off that? Why did it go away? It was so great.
Bobby Bones
I started to get little viruses. The pages were being built too much. There were too much activity on the front page. You'd go to. Take forever to load.
Amy
Oh, that's true.
Eddie
The song and then our wallpaper.
Bobby Bones
I hope that they put malware in a lot of that on MySpace. All of that led to it. What's up?
Producer
That's how I learned how to code. Like, I want to change my background. I got to look up the code number and put it in my. Yeah. But then it messed everybody's profiles up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. MySpace was so legit because it was the first social media that was for the masses that everybody used.
Eddie
Yeah. Because Facebook was mostly college.
Bobby Bones
I never had Facebook until it was allowed out of colleges. Some colleges had it, but I don't think.
Eddie
Well, you were out of college by the time it came up. But I was, too. But I just used my college email to get in.
Bobby Bones
Didn't Facebook. Weren't they only in some colleges, though, for a while. It wasn't like every college.
Amy
Correct.
Bobby Bones
Because I don't think we had it. I don't think. I don't think my college. You could get into an Ivy League.
Producer
Because it started at Harvard.
Bobby Bones
But also, I don't know because I didn't have it.
Eddie
But I remember getting it later, obviously.
Amy
But I mean. But MySpace was just so cool, man. It was great.
Bobby Bones
Well, the big drama was who's in your top eight and your number one friend and your number two friend.
Matt Castle
Didn't you have to have Tom?
Eddie
Yeah.
Matt Castle
Was he part of your.
Bobby Bones
When you started your page, he was number one, but you didn't have to keep him up there. You took Tom off immediately.
Amy
Did Tom make any money from my space?
Bobby Bones
I sold it and now as a photographer and travels around the world.
Amy
Great. I'm so glad that he invented it and got some money and got out.
Matt Castle
Yeah. I bet you think about him all the time.
Amy
No, I worry. I just worry because it just went blood. Like no one uses it.
Eddie
You were worried about Tom.
Bobby Bones
Tom Anderson sold MySpace to News Corp for $580 million in 2005. He is the co founder and president, apparently, still. But I don't know what they're doing. But yeah, no, he just decided to like pursue his passion. Sold it, and then went around and was a photographer and it's like living life.
Amy
Oh my gosh. News corps was like, I spent $580 million on that.
Eddie
Like, they had it for a while. I wonder.
Matt Castle
They got their money back.
Bobby Bones
And if it's a money back loss, you know they're gonna make a significant amount of that and not paying it in taxes. It's a write off. Right. A lot of major companies on big failures like that, it's a risk, but also the failure isn't quite the failure. Because what you lose, you can write off, meaning you won't pay those taxes for. And not on all of it, but for a significant part of it. So it's not like they lost 580 million.
Eddie
How did anybody make money on MySpace?
Bobby Bones
You really didn't.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
So only if you were like discovered and you were hired to do things.
Eddie
So I'm not saying the users make money, but how did MySpace make money?
Bobby Bones
They really didn't.
Producer
Oh, advertising.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Later on they had some advertising. It never really caught on.
Eddie
But I mean, they. Obviously there was something for them to spend. I mean, I get. They get the coding.
Bobby Bones
No, not really, because Twitter hasn't made money. They've tried to do ads, but just because you have something doesn't mean you're making money.
Eddie
I guess just because it brings everybody together, it just.
Bobby Bones
It gains value. You can gain value without making money. And they did have ads.
Producer
Yeah, there's like those little banner ads.
Bobby Bones
That were really annoying and then they were like virused up. Yeah. So you can own something. Let's say Twitter because they didn't do ads forever and Twitter was losing money but gaining value. So you're not making any money, but it's becoming more valuable the longer it exists. So when you sell it and then you can take out loans on that, on the value of it.
Eddie
Cool.
Matt Castle
Now that makes sense. Yeah, you raise that value up. So when you sell it, ba boom. Big, big payout.
Amy
Yeah, but no one's going to be buying Twitter.
Bobby Bones
It's already been bought, Elon.
Amy
Yeah, I know what I'm saying. But now it's like he bought it for so much. I think he.
Bobby Bones
That's. It was my favorite site. It's a disaster now I think he's lost. It's a disaster. And he wants to buy TikTok. Please don't. You can call it dick.
Amy
Talk to.
Bobby Bones
Probably would because he, he told Wikipedia he would give them like a billion Dollars if they would change their name to Dick A. PD for a year.
Matt Castle
Serious?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Look up that story, Mike. Because he's got so much money. Like, he just does. That's what I would do.
Eddie
I just thinking about the space stuff between him and Jeff Bezos is. I'm like, why don't we come?
Bobby Bones
No, they're competing.
Eddie
I know, but why? Like, let's just combine and like, he.
Bobby Bones
Offered to pay $1 billion to name it Dickipedia. That's true story. Go ahead.
Eddie
I don't know. I just think, like, wish they could work together and do something they're not. Like, it's two other countries against each other. Let's work together and then save money and use that money on other things that are great.
Bobby Bones
In theory.
Eddie
More.
Bobby Bones
But it's like, why doesn't every church get together and make sure nobody's. But not able to eat? Like, because you could easily do that in a community.
Eddie
I. Right. I agree.
Bobby Bones
And that's not even competition. These two guys want to compete.
Eddie
I know, but like, just. I don't know, just a thought that popped in my head when I saw in the news about them being competitors and that, you know, because Jeff's thing went off into the thing finally after it was delayed earlier this week.
Bobby Bones
You call him Jeff? You just call him Jeff?
Matt Castle
Yeah. I've never heard.
Bobby Bones
What the heck.
Matt Castle
Jeff.
Bobby Bones
That hit me weird. I was like, Amy just calls him Jeff.
Matt Castle
You know, Jeff jdog.
Eddie
Well, sometimes we say Elon.
Bobby Bones
Well, at least that's like a name where only he has like, Jeff. Like, that might be a guy comes to the house and something. Because I'm unable.
Eddie
I don't know why I did that. But Jeff the handyman.
Bobby Bones
It's like with CEOs too. Like these really successful people where in theory that would be excellent, but they don't get to be that rich if they weren't crazy about being competitive. Like, wildly competitive.
Eddie
It's just like, space stuff is so expensive. So like just.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, space stuff and like baseball cards.
Matt Castle
So expensive.
Amy
And Wikipedia, I mean, I can't believe this field and take a billion dollars. I mean, you would if, you know.
Bobby Bones
Wikipedia doesn't make money. That. That's a great example.
Eddie
But they collect. They'll. They'll put up a thing.
Amy
Oh, they ask for donations.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But they don't make money. Right. But they're gaining value at. The longer it exists, it's worth more. It'd be like a building. Right? Let's say you're putting a lot of money into a building. And you keep, you know, eventually you sell it for more than you put into it. But.
Amy
But Wikipedia, how do they pay their employees?
Bobby Bones
You can take out loans. Let's say you have a mortgage of a house.
Amy
I mean, it's crazy.
Bobby Bones
You can take out a loan on the value of your house as the house becomes more valuable equity. So you could do that. I'm not saying they do that, but that is one like Wikipedia In 2022, 2023 got $180 million in donations. The year before, 154. They get grants because they provide information, claim to do a public service. Ish. They get investment income.
Matt Castle
But what do they do other than just provide the website? Because can't you just make your own Wikipedia or edit Wikipedia?
Bobby Bones
Yes, but they've done is have the idea and created the hub that enough people have known about to go into. And so they do keep the structure of it alive. Yes, but anybody and everybody could go, I'm going to create a site and you can edit it and hopefully it'll be massive. But the one where people actually do.
Matt Castle
It is where the value is and this is it.
Bobby Bones
Because people have been drunk. Yeah, it's just a monster.
Amy
I mean, how smart of them to not have to make money. They just ask people for money and people pay them for their website. I mean, it's like, wow, this is so easy.
Matt Castle
I don't know though. I would have changed it to Dickopedia for a billion. For a billion?
Amy
Heck yeah. Hey, he reiterated back in December of 2024. So just a couple weeks ago he said offer still stands.
Bobby Bones
Think about the money that he has, because I'm not sure his official number.
Matt Castle
Elon.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, when they say numbers, they're again speculating. But 1 billion for him isn't even that much. So he's doing that for fun. Like he's worth estimated to be around 426 billion. And right now he is estimated to be the world's richest person. One billion of his. 426. We're like, Dang, a billion bucks that he wouldn't even if a billion was gone, he wouldn't even know if he.
Amy
Got hacked for a billion dollars.
Bobby Bones
He wouldn't even know. Like, hopefully his people would know, but he wouldn't feel it. I got a question.
Amy
Why do they not take it? Why? Why is Wikipedia so stupid? They don't take a billion dollars. How dumb are you?
Eddie
I don't think they're dumb.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't think they want to give up. And if they're making over three years, they made about half a billion dollars in just donations and the value. And it could hurt the brand. And if the brand. If the brands hurt, the value goes way down.
Matt Castle
Yeah.
Amy
So let me check. What?
Producer
No insight in that Source. Source Dickipedia.
Matt Castle
That's true, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You lose brand value in. That's a billion bucks. Do you see what he was faking being Diablo Diablo player? Like number one player in the world. And then he got online because he claimed to be the best at Diablo 2, Elon Musk. And he got on and played on a stream. And people are like, this is not true. You're not good.
Producer
That game's hard.
Bobby Bones
And so he was either hiring people to play under his name or he just paid and they put him up at the top of the list. If I were faking like I was the best in the world at something, I would never do it publicly. I would just let people think it. But he got online and he couldn't, like, go between maps. And people are like, there's no way you're the greatest Diablo 2 player in the world, which you claim to be. Gamers accuse Elon Musk of cheating to level up. This is Poser alert from Rolling Stone.com the billionaire is highly ranked in time insensitive titles, including. Maybe it's Diablo 4, because I don't know the difference in the Diablo games. But then he struggles with basics on the live streams. Yeah. If it were me and I were lying, I just would never do it. I would just claim it, prove I'm not.
Matt Castle
Help me understand.
Amy
Oh, my. Just so you know, Wikipedia is worth tens of billions of dollars estimate. I didn't know that.
Eddie
So don't take back the.
Matt Castle
Help me understand. A billion dollars.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Oh, you want to know a great story about a billion? Go ahead. I got a good one.
Matt Castle
I just want to understand. I Googled. It has nine zeros.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Matt Castle
So how many millions is a billion dollars?
Bobby Bones
Thousand.
Matt Castle
1000 million is a billion.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Matt Castle
That is a ton of money.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Think about this crap.
Matt Castle
People realize that that's how much $1 billion is.
Bobby Bones
And I don't realize it either until it's broken down in the way. Because we just throw it around now, right? Like billionaire, billionaire, billionaire. There are people that are billionaires. Like Taylor Swift is now billionaires. So people in pop culture, it's not just super smart rich people that got into business, that created things that we'll never meet. Like, we could actually go to a concert and see Taylor Swift. Are we gonna see Warren Buffett? No, he doesn't sell tickets. So they're even more fictional, Right? Billionaires to a million seconds. How many days do you think a million seconds is?
Amy
Probably three weeks, 21 days, and again.
Bobby Bones
Million seconds. Any guesses? He says 20. It's 11 days, 11 and a half days.
Matt Castle
A million seconds is 11 and a half days.
Bobby Bones
Now, what do you think a billion seconds is? I'd be probably 2 months, 31 years and 8 months.
Matt Castle
Look at that difference.
Bobby Bones
That's the difference that I don't even comprehend until it's broken down like that.
Matt Castle
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
You're talking about count to a million. A million seconds. 11 days to count to a billion. 31 years, eight months.
Matt Castle
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's the difference in a million and a billion. That's crazy to me. And when it's broken down like that, I'm like, my brain hurts. Right.
Matt Castle
Because we just say a billion dollars. Like, no problem.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I mean, just imagine if you're that Edwin Castro guy. He won a billion dollars in the lottery.
Eddie
Like, remember his name.
Bobby Bones
I saw that.
Matt Castle
He lost his house.
Amy
Yeah, his three. One of them. He has many. His three million dollar one hit. Burned down.
Eddie
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
What I feel bad for, and there's a lot to feel bad for, but I feel bad for about how that fire has been represented. And I said this on the show when it was happening, was it's represented as the celebrity rich people fire because they know that'll get the clicks and the views. And most of the people that have been affected. 90. I'll just make up a number arbitrarily. 97% of people that have been affected aren't rich or celebrity. But the news knows that you will watch when it's somebody that's famous or rich. That's what we click into. So as they talk about the fire, they're like.
Eddie
Paris Hilton.
Bobby Bones
Chilo's Ralph. Yeah, yeah. Or Heidi and Spencer are famous because they've been sharing their house.
Eddie
Ricki Lake, all that.
Bobby Bones
Andy Moore, because they know. We'll check that out. So it's misrepresented. And a lot of people online are like, why do we care about this fire? It's all rich people. It's not. It's literally not, but it is. Again, never forget, the news is not a public service. The news is a business. They want them. They are providing an algorithm to the people that like what they like. And they're trying to feed them exactly the kind of news they want so they will stay longer and they will watch commercials and that's the sad thing about the portrayal of this fire. There are many sad things about the actual fire and how people have been affected. But most people associate this with celebrities houses burning down. And nobody feels sorry for a rich person who goes through something when it can be easily fixed by money.
Eddie
So on social, I've seen a lot of that. And then I've also been watching like the news, like actual stories on CBS and NBC and they've highlighted a lot of really amazing small businesses and families.
Bobby Bones
Now the pressure is they have to or they'll just get railroaded. Yeah.
Eddie
That have lost their home, their business, their kids lost their school, and they're following them and they're, you know, it's just gives you a look inside too, the community coming together of all these people that lost things, but they're still trying to figure out how to help donate to others. And opening up their garages. Like, oh, there's this one business. I wish I could remember it. I don't know. But I love what this old man said. He said the way I grew up, like, what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine. And he lost his entire business, but he now is accepting donations at his home and he's turned his garage into like a goodwill and people can pop in and get whatever they need.
Bobby Bones
And my bet would be that gets a third of the ratings of Famous Person B, who's done three movies.
Eddie
Of course, I don't remember his name, but I was. I just thought it was the sweetest story.
Bobby Bones
It's like if we have Dan and Shay on Versus, we have. Tell me something good. What do you think rates higher Celebrity does over. I mean, but again, I'm not hating, I'm just stating. How about that?
Eddie
I like that.
Bobby Bones
That's like very 90s. I hate, but state very 90s of me. The time it would take for you to spend a billion dollars. Ready for this? If you were like, think about this though. Think about the money. And this is relative to anybody anywhere. But think of $426 billion. Like, think about 2 billion of that. Because once Elon Musk said, tell me how much to fix hunger and I'll do it. And they did. And it was like he could easily have done it. And he didn't do anything. He did the whole.
Matt Castle
He asked for the number and he didn't do it.
Bobby Bones
Let me read you this. First. You can find that story. The time it would take to spend a billion dollars depends entirely on how much you spend per day. But if you were to spend a reasonable amount, like a thousand bucks per day, it would take you 2,740 years to spend a billion dollars. Thousand bucks a day for almost 3,000 years.
Eddie
And that means also too, you're not. That's not even making more. Because if you're that type, if you have that type of money, you're likely making money every day, even if it's.
Bobby Bones
Sitting there and you're getting interest.
Eddie
Yes, exactly. You don't even have to be working at the point.
Matt Castle
Does he have kids?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, many. He tries to repopulate Earth.
Eddie
He's like Nick Cannon.
Bobby Bones
He's had kids with people that has signed like contracts and stuff.
Eddie
What contracts?
Bobby Bones
Where it's like, let's have a kid. I'm pretty sure I can tell you this. Listen, I'm his 12 children with three different women. He believes that people should have more children. This is from his biographer, Walter Isaacson. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, believes in the pro natalist movement. He has. And again, there are people that again, I should say the contracts. It's just stupid stuff I've read on. On the Internet. But I think he has had like kids with people he works with or that work in the work there. But he wants to have a bunch of kids. Good for him. We probably need to repopulate. Oh, wow.
Eddie
I never even heard of pronatalism, but it's.
Bobby Bones
Is that how you say it?
Eddie
Pronatalism?
Matt Castle
What is it?
Eddie
The idea that having more children is important and should be encouraged.
Bobby Bones
There is no evidence Elon Musk has contracts for having children. However, Musk has had children with different partners.
Matt Castle
No, that's cool and all, but are you being dad or are you just having the kids?
Amy
Well, Nick Cannon does that.
Bobby Bones
I don't think his thing is to be dad. I think he's trying to repopulate Earth. He's the bigger picture in mind.
Matt Castle
Okay, but they're going to need dads.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but I don't think that's what he's his goal.
Matt Castle
He's halfway there. He's probably right.
Bobby Bones
But you're.
Matt Castle
They're going to need dads.
Bobby Bones
Do the Twitter, where he gets on Twitter and he goes, how much to fix world hunger?
Matt Castle
This guy.
Bobby Bones
And so they figure it out. It takes a little bit and they figure it out. And they said it was 6 billion or he offered to donate 6 billion bucks to the United Nations World Food Program if they would provide a plan to end world hunger. The WFB proposed a plan that would use the funds to feed 42 million people in 43 countries per year. They laid out the plan there. And I don't think he ever gave the money.
Amy
So he's just joking.
Bobby Bones
Maybe. Maybe that's.
Eddie
Oh, it says Here he pledged 6 billion to solve world hunger, but then gave it to his own foundation instead.
Matt Castle
And are they fixing world hunger?
Bobby Bones
And it says he likely donated, quote, for tax dodging purpose. Who knows? Who knows? But again, we never know. Listen, all we know is reading the Internet. Bill Burr was funny on. I saw a clip of him on a late night show and he was like, all these people on the Internet going, what was it on?
Matt Castle
It was on Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel.
Bobby Bones
He was like, all these experts that are like, you guys didn't do the fire, right? You didn't organize. And he goes, how the f. Do you know how to organize a fire? You're on the Internet.
Eddie
Especially a fire that has never been seen before in history.
Bobby Bones
I have come to the part of my life where I don't think I need to have an opinion on everything anymore. The things I do. I'm probably wrong on some, but I don't need an opinion. I don't need to have an opinion on everything anymore. But didn't Pigeon Forge, when they had the big fire, didn't they run out of water in their fire hydrants too? Like, this is not such a new thing where this has happened because that happened, because they needed all that water at once in la. And there's so much disinformation out there and probably even from us, sometimes we don't even know it. Remember when Amy got.
Matt Castle
I do remember that.
Amy
What was that?
Matt Castle
Plane crash.
Amy
Oh, yeah. Plane crash. Someone didn't really die, guys.
Bobby Bones
Pigeon Ford has faced situations where water supplies were low, especially during the wildfires which significantly impacted the area. Water shortages because of high demand from firefighting efforts. I thought that was. I remember that happening because I remember when the hydrants, they had run out of water because the demand. And they were. Everybody was mad. They ran out of water. And I was like, I don't think this is the first time this has ever happened.
Matt Castle
Do you remember? I thought I started the fire.
Eddie
Oh, the running out.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Matt Castle
Because like a few weeks before it started, I was there and there was a little fire outside my cabin.
Bobby Bones
You thought it was you.
Matt Castle
And then like, we talked about it on air. And literally the next day they're like, that whole Smoky Mountain is on fire. And I'm like, that's where I was.
Bobby Bones
What are you saying, Amy? Sorry.
Eddie
No, I just was. I thought you were saying this isn't the first time it's happened. Like, regarding the fires, we're talking about running out of the water, talking about.
Bobby Bones
Hydrants not having water in them because of the usage. Heavy usage concentrated in certain areas. But I never know what to believe anymore because there is so much disinformation that I don't really believe anything anymore. I've gotten to that place where I don't believe I can read something. And even if I'm like, wow, can you believe this? I would go, you know, I don't even know if that's true. I just read it.
Matt Castle
I'm kind of there too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Even like all the Elon Musk stuff. Who knows? I'm probably wrong about every single one of those things.
Matt Castle
Every time I'm with my father in law, we're watching sports or anything we watch. He's like, I like that guy. He seems like a nice guy. And then I'm always like, but we don't know him. Like, we don't know him.
Bobby Bones
We see that in our world where there's some real scummy dudes in this country music world. And people are like, we love them. We're mass. And they're like, man, if you really knew them, you would not feel the same way. That kind of thing.
Matt Castle
I've just learned to see people and be like, I don't know anything about them. So I'm not even gonna just have a thought on what kind of person that person is.
Bobby Bones
I gotta eat some of those cookies in a second.
Eddie
Oh, cookies, cookies, cookies.
Matt Castle
We gonna cancel workout?
Bobby Bones
Nah, we'll work extra hard. I got a couple things I wanted to go through that I have on my list here. Eddie wants off early tomorrow. Why?
Matt Castle
There's a Pearl Jam radio station promotion going on. So, like, the rock station in the building, they're having a promotion where I think you have to, like, rub an oyster. And the person that rubs an oyster the longest gets Pearl Jam tickets.
Bobby Bones
Rub an oyster? No.
Matt Castle
Cause for the Pearl.
Eddie
But you can't win the tickets.
Bobby Bones
But they're not saying rub an oyster. Like parentheses, rub an oyster. The first person to do it, win the tickets.
Matt Castle
Oh, I don't know. What is that?
Eddie
But you're already. He can't be qualified to win.
Matt Castle
I can't?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
You work for the. Other than that. Yeah, you work here, you can.
Eddie
Or you work for the company.
Bobby Bones
Why don't you just buy your tickets?
Matt Castle
Yeah, they're expensive, dude. You know, dude, concert tickets are so expensive. These Days.
Eddie
Yeah.
Matt Castle
Like, so expensive.
Eddie
But think of how many that you get as a hookup. And then if this is someone you really want to go see, like, add up all that you've saved in concert tickets.
Matt Castle
And I haven't really gone to a show, though, in a long time.
Bobby Bones
I feel like fees are what's really kicking us in the nads with concert tickets because they're adding all these fees that make tickets so expensive. And then they do the. Where ticket prices go up and down based on dynamic pricing.
Amy
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
That gets you. But I mean, it's like that in every other part of our society. Like homes. You're in the neighborhood, they start to get bought out. Houses go up in value. There's only one left. Airplane tickets. Why do you think they're more expensive? So that's an.
Amy
Okay, that's a valid point. I didn't think about that. But you can't do it. Like, then why, when you're fleeing a hurricane or whatever, you can't raise gas prices. I mean, it's the same thing.
Bobby Bones
It is not the same thing. Because people need that to survive. So there are price gouging laws. You don't need to go to a Morgan Wallen concert. You do need to be able to have gas and water.
Amy
That's a good point. I didn't think about that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Unless you do need it.
Amy
Like, I always, always. I see that. And I'm always like, man, that's so unfair.
Bobby Bones
But then they can't price gouge. Yeah, yeah.
Amy
Because they're allowed to do it on the ticket prices for concerts. So I was like, man, that's not fair. They should be able to do it on anything. You need eggs. $100.
Eddie
Yeah.
Matt Castle
The cheapest ticket for Pearl Jam on the floor is $795.
Amy
Why you have to be on the floor, dude?
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, it's like, hey, the cheapest backstage pass to be able to give them a massage. 1,000. Okay.
Eddie
Well, what's the cheapest ticket?
Matt Castle
The cheapest ticket looks like it's 200. $200.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Have a. That's super expensive. Yes. I bet you. Is that even with fees?
Amy
No, it's not.
Matt Castle
It's not fees. Because one ticket with your back against the wall.
Eddie
Man, I get what you did there. You want a song reference?
Matt Castle
No.
Eddie
Oh, with your back against. Is that not a song?
Matt Castle
It's all about songs Today.
Eddie
I'm just hearing things.
Bobby Bones
Put on a mustache, a fake mustache, and go rub your oyster, dude.
Matt Castle
Yeah, I'm not Eddie, I'm Freddie. I win it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Producer Freddie, your hair piece is right here.
Matt Castle
Oh, I wear my hair system. I still have it.
Bobby Bones
I texted Eddie day before yesterday, maybe yesterday, and I was like, hey, what's the first line to these raging idiot songs we haven't played in forever?
Matt Castle
I knew exactly what you were doing.
Bobby Bones
You didn't.
Matt Castle
Yes, I did.
Bobby Bones
Our million dollar show, by the way. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am Central Time. Hope you get to come. It's us and Miranda Lambert and Bailey ZIMMERMAN all for St. Jude. So I text Eddie, and I was like, did you even never text me back? Yeah. What did you think the point was?
Matt Castle
Oh, I know what it was. We were just talking about. Amy was talking about how you can look more attractive to your spouse, and it's playing instrument. And so I'm like, oh, there's Bones. He's playing some raging idiot songs for his wife.
Eddie
She's not gonna find that more attractive.
Bobby Bones
No chance.
Matt Castle
Really? Hobby Lobby Bobby.
Bobby Bones
I said, I didn't realize you'd text me back. I said, I never got a response. My bad. Because I walked into. I was being interviewed for a podcast. What's the first line of? I said, target song and Hobby Lobby. And then Eddie goes, I needed food from a Labrador. That's the Target song. And then Hobby Lobby is sometimes when you're feeling blue, get some construction paper and some hot glue.
Matt Castle
And we're no stranger to this, Amy. Like, even on stage, he'll look at.
Bobby Bones
Me, like, going after the first line. But I went and I did this podcast that a lot of songwriters do, and people just show up and play their guitar on the podcast. And I thought it'd be hilarious if I showed up on my guitar.
Matt Castle
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because I wasn't being interviewed to play music, but everybody shows up with their guitar to this podcast, and they all play songs and sing together. So I showed up, I was like, all right, boys, ready to play some hits? And then we never really got to it. Dang.
Matt Castle
Dang it.
Bobby Bones
I know they didn't want to hear it. At the very end, I got it out, and they were like, well, you did bring your guitar. And I was like, kind of just as a bit. And I did a little bit, but that was it. It's the God's country podcast that have been funny. It's not up yet, but that's why I was asking.
Matt Castle
Okay. Because I did see. Yeah, yeah, you did have your guitar at work the other day.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Matt Castle
And I'm like, eh, he's practicing for his Wife.
Bobby Bones
No, she definitely wouldn't. Once. She was like, you know, we're talking about songs and, like, I'll get random bits of inspiration and I'll text Eddie and be like, we should do this as a song. And I hadn't written a song about her or anything. And I was like, finally. I was like, I wrote a song about you. Except it was about me.
Matt Castle
It's what she does.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But she was like, you didn't write that with me. You wrote that about you and how you feel. Yeah. She's like, so you don't write that about me. There's nothing about me in that song. I was like, that's a good point. That's a good point. So I still haven't really done that. Feels too. It feels I can't do a serious song because I can't sing well enough.
Eddie
But you did that serious one with Garth Brooks about your dad.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I wouldn't do that again. I was just kind of like. We just kind of wrote that song and sent it to Garth and he was like, yeah, I'll sing it with you. And I was like, that's crazy.
Matt Castle
That is really crazy.
Bobby Bones
And then it never got to exist online because Garth didn't put his music online.
Matt Castle
That's right. That's right.
Eddie
Oh, what was it? Fishing with my dad?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he did it. I couldn't believe when he sent it back and I listened to it. I was like, holy crap. Garth Brooks singing with me because we didn't do it together live in the studio. Garth has a restraining order on me.
Matt Castle
Yeah, he's.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Matt Castle
Keep your distance.
Bobby Bones
He's like, dude, don't come over anymore. Okay, that's it. Amy, you have four things up today.
Eddie
I do, and my friend just texted me. I just got a nice note. She was like, hey, I love today's episode. The topic was something I needed to hear.
Amy
What do you mean your friend didn't listen? She listened to that before this.
Eddie
I guess she just listened to it this morning maybe. And she said like, hey, I just want to let you know. And I don't. She's a friend. Like, she doesn't text me all the time. The topic is permission to change your mind. That's the title of the episode. And it really is just going through that Sometimes I think if we're in a people pleasing mode, we don't feel like we can speak up or change our mind or if we've kind of put out there that we're going to do something, then we feel embarrassed if we decide we're not going to do it. And it's sort of like you have permission to change your mind, whether big or small, like, on a relationship or what you want for dinner. Permission to change your mind.
Bobby Bones
I do the dinner one a lot.
Matt Castle
Changing your mind.
Eddie
But would you ever, like, not like, say, you recommended one place and then you've got it set with, like, a friend. Would you ever speak up and be like, hey, you know what? Like, you know, I throw this out.
Bobby Bones
Here, but I'm not a people pleaser.
Eddie
Well.
Bobby Bones
But I would change my mind like crazy. I have no problem changing my mind. I think stubborn is different, but I'll change my mind.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Easily.
Eddie
Cool.
Bobby Bones
I'm changing my mind right now. I'm gonna do this another hour instead of going to break.
Matt Castle
Oh, you were just about to wrap up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I changed my mind. Now we're gonna hang out.
Matt Castle
Okay. So you have the freedom to change your mind.
Amy
Look at that.
Bobby Bones
Bob Euchre died.
Matt Castle
That's it.
Eddie
Permission.
Bobby Bones
He just died. Yeah, he was old, too, so I knew it from Mr. Belvedere. That's how I was introduced.
Matt Castle
Deer commercials.
Bobby Bones
And then he was announcer on Major League 1 and 2. He was also the brewers, like, play by play or color analyst. He's a big brewers fan. And we gotta go. He's tired.
Matt Castle
Oh, that's it. Lunch.
Amy
No, I'm good.
Bobby Bones
