[Amy]

Come on, Bobby.

[Eddie]

Amy went online to buy the Taylor Swift dress from her engagement shoot.

[Amy]

Yeah, I thought it was cute, so I wanted to find it. And clearly, I'm not the only person that had this idea, because it's sold out everywhere. It's a Ralph Lauren, like, silk striped dress, black and white.

[Eddie]

How much?

[Amy]

Well, originally, 300 and something.

[Eddie]

That's why I think it was set up.

[Amy]

Wait, what do you mean, set up?

[Eddie]

She ain't wearing a 300 dress normally.

[Bobby Bones]

She wouldn't.

[Amy]

This is like a Ralph Lauren deal.

[Eddie]

That's, like, relatable. Well, no, it's just.

[Amy]

Oh, I see what you're saying. So when people googled it, it wasn't. Okay, so it's like, yes, it's still expensive, but I get what you're saying. It's not, like, so wildly expensive that it's unattainable. Yeah, I didn't think of that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang it.

[Eddie]

Extremely relatable. And then also, man, I don't want.

[Amy]

To be that guy was on sale for 312, by the way. But, yeah, sold out across, like, every. I went to multiple websites. Can't find it anywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe that's why Taylor got it. It was on sale.

[Eddie]

Also, Travis Kelsey's clothing line comes out the next day.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. What is that?

[Eddie]

American Eagle.

[Amy]

Yeah, A collab.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, boy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to believe it.

[Amy]

Well, I believe that the relationship and the engagement, everything is real, but obviously there was strategy behind it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I understand that, but don't you want, like. I mean, yes, the love is real, all that. So I want everything else to be real.

[Eddie]

Like, Travis Joy's dad was doing interviews.

[Amy]

I know he said that Travis, like, was kind of debating, like, when to do it. Like, back and forth, like.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Then he asked Taylor, and she's like, you do it this day.

[Bobby Bones]

Her people say, right?

[Amy]

And they're like, no, this is the day. Remember the calendar? You post about her, then she comes on your podcast, then you. Her album comes out, then you propose, then your collab with American Eagle happens. Remember?

[Eddie]

Then, Right? Yeah. Then, yeah, yeah, it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, and the football season, just like, what.

[Amy]

What do you think that would be like, to have a calendar like that about your life? Like, it's just what? Like, where's the spontaneity? Where's the, you know, I get to do what I want.

[Eddie]

I think that's what she wants.

[Amy]

The sacrifice to control. I mean, okay, so prenup or.

[Eddie]

Nah, of course. She's a billionaire.

[Bobby Bones]

What is he, a multi millionaire?

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's probably got a hundred million.

[Amy]

Did he have 100 million before Taylor?

[Eddie]

He had money before Taylor, but she. Because of the podcast. Because they make a lot of money off the podcast. And the podcast had a small bump whenever they played in the super bowl, but it was very sports because they played against each other when they launched the super bowl or they launched the podcast, they were playing against each other in the Super Bowl.

[Amy]

The brothers.

[Eddie]

Yeah, But Taylor made that thing a monster. Has made the whole family famous. Like, Jason Kelsey gets famous. His wife gets famous.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, all from being Taylor.

[Amy]

AD kills it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. All from being Taylor adjacent.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Amy]

She just, like, touched it with her pinky gold.

[Eddie]

So it's all part of a wonderful strategy, but that doesn't mean I think it's fake. But, yeah, because they're, it's all strategic. Everything is purposefully and meticulously planned and laid out. I think you're seeing that now. I hate to be the one to have to point to it all the time, but yeah. Anyway, that's what's up. And we try to get the dress.

[Amy]

Try to try to get it.

[Eddie]

And when I saw how much it was, I was like, oh, this proves to me again, this was so much.

[Amy]

I never thought of that because I wasn't thinking Taylor money. I was thinking just normal money. And I was like, oh, this dress is expensive, but at least it's on sale. And I was like, and it's sold out. But I could forever have the same dress Taylor got engaged in, so I was fine with it. But I didn't think in terms of Taylor money. You're right. Like, that dress is very inexpensive for the type of outfit she normally wears. Dang, I got swindled.

[Eddie]

Well, you didn't lose anything.

[Amy]

I know, but I have a, like, I, I, I've been refreshing the page to see if they restock.

[Eddie]

Also, I don't know. They'd put a dress on sale right when, When Taylor wears it, because they don't have to put it on sale because people will pay $500 for it because it's a tailor dress.

[Amy]

Listen, I don't make these decisions.

[Eddie]

Okay, there's that. I don't want to pee anybody's cheerios but that's what's up. IPhone users trust their phones too much. According to a new study, iPhone users are 20% more likely to fall for online scams than Android users. Do you know why I think that is? I think one it's a numbers game. Everybody gets an iPhone. So just more dumb dumbs get iPhones. Like if everybody has an iPhone there are more dumb dumbs that are a part of everybody.

[Amy]

Mm yeah. Whatever's more popular is gonna have more dumb dumbs.

[Eddie]

Yes, because they don't think about. That's my point on number two I think Android users are better at critical thinking because they're able to think, not group think of well everybody else has one so I think I'll just get one. But what are the benefits of having an Android? Safer. The technology is better. The freaking phone folds. Oh yeah, there's all these things. So I think Android users are a bit more critical thinking than iPhone users because it is a declaration to go I'm an Android user because it sucks. I have an iPhone, I'm part of the group think also like all my stuff connected so I think that's why. That's from web pro News.

[Bobby Bones]

Couldn't they have bought an Android through like an ad or something like you know. Well they could a dumb dumb.

[Eddie]

There's a lot of coulds.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

A lot of one offs but any Android users I know and smart my ex husband critical thinkers or, or because they're thinking of different things other than just everybody has one so I'm going.

[Amy]

To get one like his whole company and they're all ex military. They all have they. His company phone is an Android and it syncs up with like their. All of their stuff is not Apple, it's whatever the other one. What would they use like what are their computers?

[Bobby Bones]

Windows, Microsoft.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I guess Windows based.

[Amy]

Yeah and for their bit like their world this is, that's what works and they're all very, I don't know techie and but he does have an iPhone for like normal life.

[Eddie]

So he's a. He's a dumb dumb for his normal life.

[Amy]

Yes. But at work Android didn't he also.

[Bobby Bones]

Have like post its on his computer?

[Eddie]

Yes, to cover up holes.

[Amy]

Yeah, well cameras, camera those holes. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean who knows there's some. Something called a nude cruise.

[Amy]

Oh like for voyage.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's gotta be. Not voyagers. Those are just people that go on voyages.

[Amy]

No, no, but what are they called?

[Eddie]

Like people that like to look at stuff.

[Amy]

No, people Voyeurs. Voyeurs Yeah, I know what you're trying.

[Eddie]

To say, but that's just people who like to look at, like to watch.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Eddie]

But it could be anything. You can be a voyeur on many things, not just watch people do it. Okay, so this is a nude cruise.

[Amy]

Nude cruise.

[Eddie]

And I'm thinking about turning the Bobby Buncho cruise into this.

[Bobby Bones]

So keep talking.

[Eddie]

Nude cruisers are free to roam in the buff, except in the dining room.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, because you're eating.

[Eddie]

Cruise ships don't want bare butts sitting on their dining room chairs. But if you're on a nude cruise and you don't want to wear a shirt or pants, they'll give you a robe. It reminds me of TV shows like can't come in without a suit jacket.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

They show up naked so you gotta have a robe on at least when you eat. But I saw it. Nude crew. Sounds disgusting.

[Amy]

Like a cloth.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, because no one, you know, good. There aren't like good looking people on those.

[Amy]

There might be.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they're pretty rare.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, looks are relative.

[Eddie]

No, they're not. They are little. They are a little. But generally. What's generally accepted as good looks is accepted generally by everybody.

[Bobby Bones]

Like there was a nude beach where I grew up and we would go like sometimes and be like, this is terrible. It was always a bad idea. Nothing good to see. Yeah.

[Amy]

You had a nude beach in Texas?

[Eddie]

Yeah, there was one in Austin too. We drive by.

[Bobby Bones]

It was on Sal.

[Amy]

Hippie Hollow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, ours was in South Padre. But it was like once you pass 10, you had to drive down the beach and it was all normal for like five miles. But once you pass that five mile line, it's all go.

[Eddie]

You're right. Everybody that wants to be naked, we don't really want to see naked.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Eddie]

Like, I've never seen someone and I've only had a couple instances of seeing anybody at a nude anything and been like, nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Pretty rare.

[Eddie]

Yeah, pretty rare. Although my wife and I, when we went on our honeymoon, we were in Greece, there were normal naked people. But that was Europe. I think in Europe it's just different.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's different.

[Eddie]

Like they wear speedos and stuff there. Dudes do as. As a normal part of just going out to the beach, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

I went to South Beach, Miami. That's a topless beach, I think, where it's legal to be topless. I didn't know that at the time. And that was crazy because I was like, whoa, she doesn't have a top on. And my, my family was There. So, like. All right, boys, we're walking this way.

[Eddie]

Were you going whoa to the kids. Whoa, look. No.

[Bobby Bones]

My son spotted first. My oldest, like dad.

[Eddie]

Alright, let's voicemail it up.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go.

[Eddie]

Number one.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I wanted to call about a scam alert for you in particular.

[Eddie]

It seems like you've been getting a lot of calls and messages about being.

[Bobby Bones]

A Panthers fan over a Broncos fan. I just wanna let you know, that's a scam. There's no validity to that.

[Eddie]

Don't fall for the trick, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's all I got.

[Eddie]

So he's saying, don't be a Panthers fan, because if I am, I'm falling for a scam. Got it. I'll have to decide next week. I'm down to two teams. All right, number two.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

You all are always talking about words that you're too old to be sane or that segment. And I want to add clutch. Amy and Eddie are too old to be saying clutch. It seems awkward and a little bit creepy when they say it.

[Eddie]

Creepy, creepy. Fair enough.

[Bobby Bones]

Creeps. You don't say clutch.

[Eddie]

If I do, it doesn't sound creepy.

[Amy]

Say it.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Why? I don't need to say it.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like clutch is something that we started when we were young so we can say that for the rest of our lives. Like, we can't say lit.

[Eddie]

You do you try to say that crap.

[Bobby Bones]

I know because I have kids and that's. That's how they talk. So it's just part of.

[Eddie]

Yeah, bro's not something that just kids say now.

[Bobby Bones]

It is dude. They say bro all the time.

[Amy]

Everything is bro. Like, they call their mom Bronson to each other bro.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's okay. My wife and I do that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Like, a child can't call their mom bro. Like, they'll come in and be like, what's for dinner, bro?

[Eddie]

They can and they do. Yeah. So you guys stop saying clutches. I'm creepy. Next up.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Danny from Virginia. Why don't you guys play the 90s movie quote game anymore? That's one you should bring back. I'm a part tour.

[Will Lucas]

Love you guys.

[Eddie]

Appreciate that. We don't not play it. We're just always trying to find new games or new ways to play games. And sometimes we get to a 90s movie quote game, but we'll put that in the old arsenal there. Again, appreciate the call.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Next up, Abby's story about the guy who told her he was a millionaire.

[Amy]

And it reminded me of a time.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

When I met a guy at a.

[Amy]

Bar hadn't even gone on a date with him yet. And he sent me a text the.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Next day of his paycheck. It was like $30,000, and he put a hashtag blessed. Yeah, I never talked to him again. It was very douchey and rubbed me the wrong way.

[Eddie]

Can you imagine a dude sending you a picture of his paycheck?

[Amy]

That's.

[Eddie]

I mean, hashtag blessed. Why would you ever send a picture of your paycheck?

[Amy]

I have no idea.

[Eddie]

One more. This is Kristen in North Carolina.

[Amy]

A little post I just saw.

[Eddie]

It says, wedding photographer deletes couples photos.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

After not being given any food.

[Eddie]

I guess it is normal or common practice to give photographers, caterers, et cetera, food.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

And this person wasn't given food. They deleted the entire wedding album. What are your thoughts on that?

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye.

[Eddie]

I remember a bit of this story. I feel like that is a very unprofessional wedding photographer.

[Amy]

They were crashing out.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

As the kids say.

[Eddie]

Okay, if it's not in the contract, they don't have to do it for you. If it's not in your contract as a photographer, they will provide food. You cannot enjoy the day because they didn't give you food. You can feel like, man, it sure would have been nice if they had hooked me up with some of that salmon. There's a lot of extra laying around. But you can't delete their photos because they didn't do something they weren't required to do. That's bad.

[Amy]

I know. Sometimes when you're hungry, though, you make decisions.

[Eddie]

You think he did it right when he was hungry?

[Amy]

That's why you have to stop and ask yourself, halt.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think it's terrible. I think it's. I would never hire this person if I were Googling. Okay. I'm thinking about hiring this person. And I saw this story. I would never. I would never pay them. This is terrible. So if it were in the contract that we're going to provide food, they decided not to, then. Yeah, I get it. But I don't know. That would have deleted the pictures. I may have just, like, charged more. Something like that. Yeah, they crashed out. As Amy would say, bro, they were.

[Bobby Bones]

The opposite of clutch.

[Amy]

We start saying them all.

[Eddie]

They were anti clutch.

[Amy]

They were sick.

[Eddie]

But, like, literally today when we leave, me, Eddie and, like, some executives are flying down to Savannah, Georgia to go to the Hyundai plant. Never been down there before, but we're gonna do a little day trip down there.

[Amy]

So you're gonna make some cars?

[Eddie]

I don't really know I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

We'Re gonna make cars.

[Eddie]

We had a conference call, and everybody's on, and some of the people in the plant, and I was like, I kind of just need to be told what I can't do. Like, what machines I can't jump on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Eddie]

And I think they're like, you're like an adult man. Why do we have to tell you what you can't do? I'm like, yeah, I know. I just kind of get carried away sometimes.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what's funny is I had a meeting a couple of weeks before that, and I had the same thing. I was like, could you just tell us what not to do?

[Eddie]

Yeah, like how we might lose an arm or a leg. What machine might remove certain body parts?

[Bobby Bones]

They basically said, just don't stop operation.

[Eddie]

You know what they said?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's what they told me.

[Amy]

Like, just don't, like, stay out of the way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, if you. You go by the. What is it? Was it called the convey line?

[Eddie]

I want to, like, get on the conveyor belt. Like, there's stuff like that that I want to do that I think will be funny for content.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, by the way, we got a big congratulations to give here today, Scuba Steve.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's public yet.

[Eddie]

Oh, never mind.

[Bobby Bones]

What is it we should know? Thank you, though.

[Eddie]

Never mind. You can't know. I didn't know it wasn't public.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's not public yet because I think it affects somebody's spot. Oh, no. Somebody spots these, don't even talk. I have to stop. Sorry.

[Amy]

Yeah. Why?

[Eddie]

Just so you know.

[Amy]

No, but I can.

[Eddie]

I, I. Morgan's job on the show.

[Bobby Bones]

As head of digital. Well, they get the camera.

[Eddie]

So excited for digital it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Love Instagram.

[Eddie]

Big day. Big day for Scuba Steve. So maybe we'll talk about it tomorrow? Monday or Tuesday or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, maybe I'll get an answer today so we can figure it out. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks. By the way.

[Eddie]

Thank you for. For nothing. Because nothing happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, exactly.

[Will Lucas]

I know you're talking about.

[Eddie]

All I'm saying is Scuba decided I'm gonna do something, and now he's on track. Hey.

[Amy]

Finally.

[Bobby Bones]

Which isn't something he normally does. What?

[Amy]

Just calling it like it is. This has been a problem. Like Bobby. You even called him out on it. But I know you want to do something, and they're not doing it, but he's doing it.

[Eddie]

So I'm not going to call him on the things he didn't do while celebrating him, something he did do.

[Bobby Bones]

And, Amy, it hasn't really been a problem. It's just kind of something he does.

[Amy]

Okay, fine.

[Eddie]

Scuba's taking straights like crazy right now.

[Will Lucas]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

No reason.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm super consistent on two things. Other things, they happen the way they happen, but at least I.

[Eddie]

Well, no, you do, like, say a lot of stuff now.

[Amy]

Bobby's.

[Bobby Bones]

Now he's back.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

There was this story. I don't know where it is on the sheet. I think Lunchbox is the one that sent it in. And he wanted to make fun of Scuba because there was a kid. Because the kid, like, just decided to kick. Is that what it was? Lunchbox, yeah.

[Will Lucas]

He was from, like, Tokyo and he didn't know English and he happened to see a US Football game and he was like, wow, how do they do that? So he went on YouTube and he learned how to kick footballs watching YouTube. Then he went to some small school in Ohio because they didn't speak his language, he wanted to be forced to learn English. So he kicked there for two years, and then now he's at the University of Hawaii. And he kicked the game winning field goal this past weekend in his first, like, big college football game.

[Eddie]

That was a big game. They beat Stanford. Like, they weren't supposed to be Stanford. They did. It was awesome. And the reason the Lunchbox sent that story wasn't just to tell a motivational, inspirational story of a kid who broke barriers. It was to show that Scuba, that he's a loser.

[Will Lucas]

I said my exact angle was, you know, Scuba is about saying things. This guy's about doing things. Like, he saw something, he wanted it. He didn't make any excuses. He went and got it. He found him out on YouTube something he thought was cool. I said maybe Scuba could learn something.

[Eddie]

Is there a clip of this or was it just a story?

[Will Lucas]

No, there was a clip. There should be a clip.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We're a couple days back. So, Ray, can you find it? Kansei Matsuzawa.

[Bobby Bones]

He learned how to kick watching YouTube.

[Eddie]

In Japan, wanted to be a college player, learned the language, arrived here last year. And the game may rest on his right foot.

[Will Lucas]

And with three seconds left, the Japanese.

[Eddie]

Kicker who will be all over YouTube.

[Will Lucas]

If he hits this unbelievable story.

[Eddie]

Rich, learn something off YouTube. And now you got to kick the.

[Bobby Bones]

Game winner on national tv, on cbs. Snap.

[Eddie]

Kick is up and good. And Hawaii has done it.

[Amy]

That's awesome.

[Eddie]

All that despite Scuba.

[Amy]

I got goosebumps.

[Bobby Bones]

And they're so focused on YouTube, like, he's been what, like five years past the YouTube point of it, I don't understand, like, why this.

[Eddie]

Now you're getting angry at him. You're getting angry at the kicker.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, he didn't watch YouTube video yesterday and then he kicked it today.

[Amy]

It's still a full circle.

[Will Lucas]

He literally lived in a different country where they didn't have football and he had to go to YouTube. He didn't know he had to order a football, get a stand. No one knew how to do it. And he had to watch and watch and watch and go out and kick footballs. It's not like he's on a football team and there's practice. He had to just go to a field.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's me with my career here. I. 20 years ago, I was like, man, I love to be on the radio and do this whole thing. So I learned it, I watched MySpace videos, I figured out how to do it, and I got in the career. Like, it's the same kind of thing. Like, I know you guys give me crap about this, but there are things that I fixate on, I focus on and I achieve it. Rebuttal?

[Will Lucas]

I mean, I don't know how you learn on MySpace to be able to.

[Bobby Bones]

I was kidding. It was a joke.

[Eddie]

I didn't know that was.

[Amy]

I thought it was for real.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Comedic timing and not on today.

[Amy]

Right? I had radio people in his top eight.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Lucas]

I'm just saying, like, it was pretty a crazy story.

[Eddie]

Do you think it's the same lunchbox? This kid from Japan learned how to play a sport that really isn't even in his country. And then Scuba Steve doing this.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we both didn't know about it. We both learned it, we both conquered it.

[Will Lucas]

I mean, it's easier to do this than what he did because it was all around you. Like, you hear it every day. You speak the language. This dude didn't speak the language. Didn't know. He had to convince this college in Ohio to take him. They were like, what, you've never played in a football game before? How does that work?

[Bobby Bones]

But our lives don't parallel then because I speak English and I live in an English speaking country, so I don't see well.

[Eddie]

But if you'd have learned to be a sushi master, it would have been difficult. It would have been difficult.

[Bobby Bones]

I should have chose a career where it was a non English speaking career.

[Will Lucas]

Ding, ding, ding.

[Eddie]

Powerball happened, nobody won. So it's going to be basically a billion dollars now. Did you play Lunchbox?

[Will Lucas]

Yeah, I didn't go so well. But hey, you know what? Saturday. $950 million. I mean, just like we thought 750 was cool. Chump change. Give me the 950.

[Eddie]

I think you've spent about 950 million over the years at trying to win this.

[Will Lucas]

I spent quite a bit. It's not fun.

[Eddie]

New York Post has a story. It's 950 with the cash option about 430 million right now.

[Amy]

I got, if I, if I won that, I would give all my friends $1 million.

[Will Lucas]

You better give me more than a million.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, yeah, maybe, probably.

[Eddie]

That's easy to say, but. Because when you started to make real money, did you give all your friends $500?

[Amy]

No, but the money I make versus almost a billion dollars is very different.

[Eddie]

Well, no, it's. First it'd be like 400 million, but it's all relative. When you started to make good money, did you go, you know, all my friends, they all deserve $500?

[Amy]

No. But I know for a fact if I were to get it, I'd do it. Y' all can make me sign something right now if y' all want it. And Bobby, you're included in that. But if you don't want it, it's.

[Eddie]

I don't want your dirty money.

[Will Lucas]

I'll take Bobby's share too.

[Amy]

That's right.

[Eddie]

I don't want. She's not even playing. How's she gonna win if she doesn't even play?

[Amy]

Well, I am now, just despite me, she wins.

[Eddie]

Yeah, there you go. A 34 year old woman in Iowa is facing multiple charges after asking gas station customers to blow into her interlock device. She said she hadn't been drinking, but when they, when they got her, her blood alcohol content was 0.35.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

0.08 is drunk. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

She was 0.35.

[Bobby Bones]

She's wasted.

[Eddie]

Eddie, do the math. 0.08 is what fraction?

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, if you're doing decimals in there, we're going to be here all day.

[Eddie]

Well, you could do. If it's 08, you could just do 8 as if it's 0.35. You do 35. 8 goes into 35. How many times?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

5.

[Bobby Bones]

No, 4.

[Eddie]

What's 8 times 5?

[Bobby Bones]

35.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

45.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

8 times 5. Hold on, let me count. 5, 10, 15. 25. 25. 30. 35, 40. 40.

[Eddie]

Correct. So it couldn't be 5. So what's 8 times 4?

[Bobby Bones]

24.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

32. It's 32.

[Eddie]

Right now you're saying so many numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

8 times 4. What is it? 32?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. So it'd be that plus it'd be like four, four, four point something.

[Bobby Bones]

You just got a glimpse into my brain, man. That's my brain when it comes to numbers.

[Eddie]

I didn't get a glimpse. I stopped looking.

[Bobby Bones]

It's bad.

[Eddie]

I was just listening. But, yeah, she was way, way, way drunk. If someone came to you and said, will you blow into this? I'll give you 50 bucks at a gas station. Yes.

[Amy]

Would you do it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

For 50 bucks, why would you do that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know them.

[Amy]

Yeah. So why do you want to rescue them?

[Eddie]

But you wouldn't do it for free.

[Amy]

Why do you want to rescue them?

[Eddie]

No, not for free, but for 50 bucks, would you do it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No, you're lying. You wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not lying.

[Amy]

I don't know why you think this is cool, but it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's cool.

[Amy]

Yes, you do.

[Eddie]

You're not being very clutch right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I'm pumping gas, right? And the guy next to me is like, hey, man, will you do me a favor? Can you blow in this real quick?

[Amy]

Wait, what if blowing unlocks his ignition and now he can drive?

[Eddie]

That's what it is.

[Amy]

I know, but I mean, well, it could be. Or people are monitoring him.

[Bobby Bones]

It could be anything.

[Eddie]

What if for $50, he changed it slightly and said, hey, man, will you blow on. No. Like, would you blow on anything for 50 bucks?

[Amy]

Some people have to blow just because they're being monitored not to unlock their car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Really? To drive? Yeah.

[Amy]

No, no, no. They don't have to blow to drive. They have to blow because I know the driving.

[Eddie]

I didn't know there was a being monitored. Straight up.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Dang. So you'd. 50 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd blow 50 bucks.

[Eddie]

Okay, lunchbox man.

[Will Lucas]

I want to say I would do it, but, I mean, I'd probably smell the alcohol in their breath and be like, whoa. But 50 bucks is 50 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Math lottery tickets and lunchbox, no questions asked, man. Just like, oh, you need.

[Amy]

You're enabling. They're there. They have to blow.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Yes, you do.

[Amy]

They're not blowing for fun. Like, they're not. Or maybe they're.

[Will Lucas]

I just think they're out of breath. Yeah, okay. You know, you need me to blow in your thing. Okay, cool.

[Amy]

No, they're being monitored for a reason. And now you're in. Yeah, like, they don't Behavior.

[Bobby Bones]

Could you?

[Eddie]

I think what the move would be would be he would blow. He'd take 50 bucks, he'd blow. And as they would get in their car, he'd call 911 to report them for being a drunk driver.

[Bobby Bones]

Bust them.

[Will Lucas]

Oh, that's pretty good, too.

[Eddie]

And benefit both ways.

[Bobby Bones]

Not bad. Like, it's crazy that older people bought us beer when we were kids.

[Will Lucas]

That is nuts, Eddie. I think about that all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, we would go up to people outside of a convenience store, be like, hey, man, will you give us, like, a 12 pack? Here's money, because. Keep the chain.

[Eddie]

You wouldn't do that for people now.

[Bobby Bones]

No chance.

[Amy]

No chance, no way.

[Bobby Bones]

And maybe because I'm a dad, you know, so I wouldn't want someone to do that for my kids.

[Eddie]

But you don't think there were dads doing that for you?

[Bobby Bones]

They were. Yeah. For sure there were.

[Eddie]

So what do you think the difference is? You think it's just you got lucky with worse people or times have changed.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I bet there's still people that would do that.

[Amy]

There are some dads that would still do it. I just think we grew up to be the parents that aren't.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you, Amy, Would you buy your no kids alcohol?

[Eddie]

Yeah, if you're walking into a liquor store. Just random kids. Hey, ma', am, for 50 bucks, will you blow this and.

[Amy]

And buy this? No, I would. I wouldn't. But. Yeah, just different. I. I think times are a little different with lawsuits and whatnot. But I just think we grew up. We're that percentage that won't do it. But there are definitely parents out there that will. And I think there's a difference in, like, letting your own kids do stuff or buying it for random kids. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Would you blow in your kid's car so he could drive drunk?

[Bobby Bones]

No. No.

[Eddie]

Okay. 50 bucks, though, is 50 bucks. America's five worst states for women. WalletHub collected data from all 50 US states to determine where women are treated the best and the worst, based on everything from wage gaps to health. The worst states have not had much progress based on the study's key metrics. Workplace environment, education, health, political empowerment. Worst states for women. I have the top. Well, the worst five, Amy.

[Amy]

All right, I'm just gonna take a stab at this and look at the map real quick in my head. Let's go, Texas.

[Eddie]

Is that your answer?

[Amy]

Why? I was gonna name all five.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's not how the game works.

[Amy]

Oh, sorry.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't be greedy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, I was just gonna Go.

[Eddie]

Don't eat the whole cake. There's a bunch of kids here for the party.

[Amy]

I. I'm from Texas.

[Eddie]

Texas.

[Amy]

Love Texas.

[Eddie]

At number two.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Wow. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What made you say that?

[Amy]

That tracks just a hunt.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it bad living in Texas?

[Amy]

Well, no. I mean, I know. I know the landscape for women, and it's a large state, so I'd factor that in as well. I mean, do I get to keep going?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay. Louisiana.

[Eddie]

Number five.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

All right. Mississippi.

[Eddie]

No.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

You got two, though. Lunchbox.

[Will Lucas]

I read the story. I'm the one that sent that in. So I am going to be honest. Like, I am an honest person and not play the game.

[Eddie]

Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Arkansas.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Four. Yeah, go again.

[Bobby Bones]

And then it's got to stay in that area. Right?

[Eddie]

Like, what do you mean, that area?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, just.

[Eddie]

What do you mean, you people?

[Amy]

That's why I was looking at the map. Like, I was just kind of honestly going, like, south.

[Bobby Bones]

Louisiana. Arkansas, probably. I'm surprised Mississippi didn't make it, but I'll go. Let's go. Alabama.

[Eddie]

No. No other states in that area. The number one state is not in that area.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Where. Where could that be?

[Eddie]

No one's gonna get number three, which is Idaho.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

So Texas at two, Idaho at three, Arkansas at four, Louisiana at five. Amy. And what I read in this is if. What was that show called? Where the they All Were Red.

[Amy]

Oh, Handmaid's Tale.

[Eddie]

If Handmaid's Tale happened to be these five states. That's what I read.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't see that show.

[Amy]

Oh, yikes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know, dude. Ohio.

[Eddie]

Solid.

[Bobby Bones]

Guess.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Utah.

[Amy]

Oh, Utah. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, probably because of the large Mormon population. I think that's what makes it a bit different, because all the rest is in South Idaho's night. Idaho's up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Idaho felt awesome when I was there.

[Amy]

Well, Texas is awesome when you're there.

[Eddie]

No, different because you're a man. Different. Maybe so. Good point. Maybe I felt so empowered there. Everywhere I walk, people were bowing. I was like, dang, this is awesome. Oh, really? I was like, they must listen to the show. They're like, no, dude, you're a man. You have a penis. That's how they treat everybody, with penises. All right.

[Amy]

Okay. You tell. That tracks okay.

[Eddie]

Well, yeah, I know. Let's take a break, and we will come back. College football is back. Do you think you know the game?

Hola, it's Honey German and my podcast Gracias Come Again is back. This season we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't audition. I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Oh, wow. That's a real G talk right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. You were destined to be a star. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of chisme, a lot of laughs, and those amazing vivas you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity struggles and all the issues, issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewashed because you have to do the code switching.

[Bobby Bones]

I won't say whitewashed because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah, but the whole pretending and coat, you know, it takes a toll on you.

Listen to the new season of Grass has come again as part of Michael Tura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay down those credit, you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards. You may just recreate the same problem a year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt. And it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

American history is full of wise people.

[Eddie]

What woman said something like, you know, 99.99 of war is diarrhea and 1% is glory.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Those founding fathers were gossipy AF and they love to cut each other down.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history. And I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

[Eddie]

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

This is the Bobby Bone Show.

[Eddie]

Yes, Amy, my childhood hero in sports is coming to town to do an autograph signing. Should I go?

[Amy]

Sure.

[Eddie]

Would that be lame if I went, what's he doing?

[Amy]

Like, is he going to be at a sports store?

[Eddie]

It's a.

[Amy]

Where would you have to go? Wait in line.

[Eddie]

It's a big autograph, like, sports memorabilia event where people come and sign. And so it's not even. Because I could just buy something signed by him, which I do have it.

[Amy]

How cool to go get it yourself.

[Eddie]

But I want to be like, I'm your biggest fan.

[Amy]

You can probably get a pick. Have you ever met him before?

[Eddie]

No, never. He's on my Mount Rushmore. People that I've never interviewed that I want to interview. It's Mark Grace. Played first base for the Cubs.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

He's coming to town Saturday, September 27, at, like, an Expo Center. But if I went, I just wouldn't be, like, here, so I'd have to, like, tell him a story. Would that be lame as an adult man doing that?

[Amy]

No. There's going to be a bunch of adult men there.

[Eddie]

But are they all lame that what.

[Amy]

This, like, is for adult men?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there are no.

[Amy]

I mean, there'll probably be women there.

[Bobby Bones]

But no kid's going to see Mark Grace, right? Like, they're not there to see Mark Grace. I think they're all going to be people your age.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But what do you think I was lame if I was like, you're my favorite ever. I can adore.

[Amy]

I mean, that probably feels good, especially, you know, like, it probably feels good when you're in your career, but also when you're outside your career to like, oh, wow, there's somebody. People still care.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, doesn't he know you?

[Eddie]

Does he doesn't know me, but he.

[Bobby Bones]

Knows you exist, right?

[Eddie]

I think he knows I exist for a couple reasons. One, I went and I headlined and performed at Andy Roddick's charity event a year and a half or so ago. It was me and it was Riley Green. We both did the deal. And he's like, please come out. And he made a video, Mark Grace did, introducing me, because Andy was like, hey, would you make this video? So Mark Grace is like, hey, coming out now. Buy Bones is a surprise. Right? So he had to make that video. And also I wrote about him, my first book, because I listed all my heroes and I Think he, like, signed it and sent it back to me, but I don't know what happened to that book.

[Amy]

Oh, I heard. I recall that because.

[Eddie]

But Sting did. To the wrestler I've also never met. I wrote him a book. I think he signed a page and sent it back, too.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool.

[Eddie]

But also, I'm getting him confused now, but I don't know, would that be lame as an adult, to go and be like, you're my favorite ever?

[Amy]

No, just don't say it that way.

[Eddie]

I kind of have to, because that's how I feel.

[Amy]

Don't say you're my favorite ever.

[Bobby Bones]

At first I didn't think so, but now that he might know who you are and you're gonna show up to a card convention place or a memorabilia convention and you're gonna be in line with everyone else.

[Amy]

I think this is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it might be a little weird.

[Amy]

I don't think it's gonna be weird. Would you say, like, hey, I'm Bobby Bones, or would you just, like, meet him?

[Eddie]

I wouldn't do the Bobby Bones. Yeah, I don't think that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay then. Okay.

[Amy]

Say anything, but I think I probably. I don't know, I'd do it.

[Eddie]

What do you think?

[Amy]

I say go. This is one of those things, if it was in any one of us, you would be like, y' all should go. That's your favorite person ever. They're gonna be here. Like, you would tell us to go, so.

[Eddie]

But what's the point? What's the purpose?

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean? To go meet your hero.

[Eddie]

But what am I going to get out of it? I'm actually asking, what am I going to get out of it?

[Bobby Bones]

Remember when we, like, met Garth Brooks for the first time? Or like, George.

[Amy]

That was work, though.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know, but George Strait, Like, I remember thinking, specifically my 12 year old self would freak out right now.

[Amy]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

So that's the same thing.

[Eddie]

Go.

[Bobby Bones]

Go there so you can be 12 years old again.

[Eddie]

I have the video from Mark Grace.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go. Hey, Bobby, it's your old buddy, Mark Grace. How you doing, pal? Hey, thank you so much for helping out Andy and his foundation. It's a great cause. And I just want you to go and do your thing, man.

[Amy]

Keep those guys laughing.

[Bobby Bones]

Keep them happy. Do what you do. And thanks again for helping out Andy and his foundation. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Bobby Bones.

[Amy]

So you could show.

[Eddie]

What if I showed him that video? Yeah, Remember when you made this?

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be too much.

[Amy]

Would it though? I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. What's he gonna do, Amy? Go. Like, cool, man.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what do you want me to sign then?

[Amy]

Just. Fine. Don't go.

[Eddie]

No, I'm not saying I shouldn't. I literally just ask. I want to hear what everybody has to say.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I say go, but don't. Don't go over the top.

[Amy]

But he's not over the top.

[Eddie]

I'm not over the top.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but he just said, like, do I tell him a story?

[Eddie]

What do you think? What would you think I should do?

[Bobby Bones]

Just go. Whatever you want. Signed and shake his hand and be like, man, it's really good to finally meet you, and then leave.

[Eddie]

Get out.

[Amy]

Yeah. And you don't need us.

[Eddie]

Anything. Like, I wrote about you on my book.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't do that.

[Amy]

If you go. If you do that, you have to go hard and give every example. Be like, I wrote about you. Like, show them the page you mailed me back. This. Here's the video.

[Eddie]

I'm confused, though, if. If it was him or Sting that mailed the book back.

[Amy]

I think it was him. I remember this, but also my memory.

[Eddie]

Could be it was one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember Sting.

[Eddie]

I've never.

[Amy]

I remember.

[Eddie]

I've never met Sting. Those are two of my four. Mark Grace, Sting, David Letterman. David Letterman.

[Amy]

But you met the Undertaker.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't meet him. I was beside him. He was on a.

[Amy]

Whose house did you go to?

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Amy]

Y' all went to somebody's ranch?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's stone cold.

[Amy]

Oh, stone cold. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You need to get with the wrestling vibe, babe. Okay, babe.

[Amy]

Okay, babe. I'm. I'm. I thought I am in the wrestling vibe. Like, I was naming wrestlers.

[Eddie]

Undertaker used to work out 24 Hour Fitness in Austin.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

And he'd walk on the stairs all the time, so I'd see him doing that, but I never met him.

[Bobby Bones]

You never talked to him? And he was right there.

[Eddie]

He was on a StairMaster, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but they take breaks.

[Eddie]

I'm not gonna bother. So he would walk for, like, hours, I think, because I would go in and he would already be walking, and then I'd leave, and he'd still be walking.

[Bobby Bones]

It's amazing.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's crazy. Anyway, so Mark Grace is coming to town. Should I be like, hey, when I played softball last year, after a long time away, I wore a signed jersey by you every game? Because I did that. No, not only that. I took his rookie Card and put in my pocket when I would play first base this last year.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you can tell him that story.

[Amy]

Maybe take that card and have him sign it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the one that you want. Mvp.

[Eddie]

It's in a sleeve. No, no, no, it's not. No, no. I rec league here.

[Amy]

Oh, and he signed for the sleeve.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, man, don't tell us.

[Eddie]

Yeah, by the high school. Because I used to wear the Mark Grace jersey.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought this when you played softball at the All Star game.

[Eddie]

No, I was MVP at the celebrity game.

[Amy]

But you should tell him that.

[Eddie]

No, but I wore.

[Bobby Bones]

Make up the story that you played in the all star game.

[Eddie]

I'm 45. If I tell him that. Isn't that. But do I have to just go and be like, it's gonna be lame, but it's great for a bit and two, like, let's just do it.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

And see what happens.

[Amy]

When I went to meet Taylor Swift, I took her a painting that I made of her. That was a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

How old were you then?

[Amy]

I was still an adult. Look, I was like, 30.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, look at that. You're wearing Amazing Grace.

[Eddie]

I'm wearing a Marc Grace T shirt. I forgot about that. I had this on.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's a sign.

[Bobby Bones]

You're gonna wear that shirt when you can see.

[Amy]

And then it. But wear the cardigan over it. And then unbutton your cardigan and show them.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, how much? How much to go do that?

[Eddie]

To do what?

[Bobby Bones]

To go meet Mark Grace.

[Eddie]

I don't know. I don't know. The pay. Oh, yeah, but they have, like, so many people that are there. They have, like. I think Brian Bosworth is coming. The boss. There's a lot. And so all baseball. No basket balls worth football. Oh, yeah, there's a lot. Like, you take the kids. I think you have to pay to, like, each. Each person has, like, an amount, but then you could pay. But I don't know. But I was thinking about that. That'd be funny, huh? I'd use it as a bit. I'd use the reason I did it as a bit. But really, it's just my childhood. Yeah, you really wanted to go out and do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

But also, I'd like to be friends with them. And you can't be friends with somebody you go and ask for an autograph from.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Like that. That's over. If you ask for an autograph or a video or something, you'll never actually be friends with them.

[Amy]

But can you go and be like, oh, my God, you're here like, no, he's in line.

[Eddie]

No, no, it's like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Mark Grace.

[Eddie]

I wait till he goes to the bathroom. I follow him.

[Bobby Bones]

You double check the sign. What are you doing here?

[Eddie]

D. Mark Grace.

[Amy]

Like, what? Shut up.

[Eddie]

I didn't. I don't know if you know this, but I wrote a book as a four week bestseller. I wrote.

[Amy]

Don't say that part.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

New York Times bestseller.

[Eddie]

Oh, I gotta say, New York Times, good point. I wrote four week New York Times bestseller. Okay. Anyway, that's. That's happening.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I don't know. Keep us posted.

[Eddie]

You don't know about what?

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know about you going and what to do.

[Amy]

I was sure you should go, but now I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I think if you go, man, take the glasses off and act like you're just a person.

[Eddie]

British accent.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Hello.

[Bobby Bones]

Love you. Mark Grace.

[Eddie]

Hey, Mark Grace. Aldi. You guys familiar with Aldi? The store has launched its first ever quarter club to honor its most devoted fans. The club will feature 25 super fans who show unabashed and unwavering love for Aldi. Winners will get perks like a year of free groceries. Exclusive merch members only event at Aldi's hometown. They say. This is why I bring it up. The year of free groceries. They say $1,700 in gift cards. That doesn't feel like a year.

[Bobby Bones]

No chance. Not for my family.

[Eddie]

How long until you spend 1700 bucks, Eddie?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, what I do the. So we're about 300 a week, sometimes 400 a week. So help me out. Well, no, no.

[Eddie]

In four weeks, that's 1600 bucks. That's one month.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so that's one.

[Eddie]

So it's one twelfth of what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Terrible.

[Eddie]

Why'd you start saying no?

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean no? Because you're gonna try to make me do the math. I'm like, don't do that.

[Amy]

But Eddie's a family of six. Like, what if it's with. Could that be groceries for one person?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

And Aldi's got some deals.

[Eddie]

I don't think I've ever been to Aldi.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's. It's the quarter club probably, or the 20 because the. You pay 25 cents to get your car out.

[Eddie]

Is that really a thing at all? You put a quarter and get your car. Yeah, I guess you don't run off with it then.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess you could see that.

[Eddie]

I guess you can still run off with it. Is there.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it like so, like, do You. Is everything still in, like, boxes and stuff? Like crates?

[Amy]

No, not. No.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I went to one. I just saw like a bunch of produce in crates.

[Amy]

Oh. I mean, it might be, but you don't have to buy the whole crate.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, you can get one apple.

[Eddie]

I saw like a 200 inch TV at Costco.

[Amy]

For, like, Costco, you can.

[Eddie]

$8.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, get it.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't go to Costco. I saw it on TikTok.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Amy]

The reason.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

Well, I don't know. I was just thinking, like, Eddie reminded me of, like, I did go to Costco and I tried to just buy like two mangoes, and I went to the cash register and they're like, no, you can't just buy.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta buy 30.

[Eddie]

You have to buy a whole farm.

[Amy]

You have to buy the whole box. And I was like, that box is huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And they're like, yeah, but that's how we sell it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I went one time to get Zyrtec and I was like, well, I'm already here. It's like. Like, it was like a year supply of Zyrtec. I don't need all those.

[Eddie]

Never had allergies again. 500 capsules I saw on Tick Tock at Costco, they had a palette of Capri Suns for 250 bucks. I don't know how you get the palette out of there, but it's a full palette. A full palette. And I think it ended up averaging down to like 7 cents. A bag of Capri Sun Pouch. Yeah, whatever it is. But you just had to take it all.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

They probably forklifted onto your truck, but.

[Eddie]

You got to show up with a big truck with the idea that you're gonna take a pallet of Capri sun home. From the New York Post, According to a new study conducted by the Institute of Family Studies, men in high power positions, like CEOs, surgeons and physicians and those unemployed. So those two, the highest of the high and unemployed, are more likely to cheat on their partners. Studies have shown that men without jobs or those who rely on their wives for financial support, feel inferior and insecure, so they search for something else to have fulfillment. Men.

[Amy]

Well, then what are the top, top, top people?

[Eddie]

Power. They can.

[Amy]

They already have the power. They just want more.

[Eddie]

Yeah, in different ways. Like, I think if you're a CEO or a surgeon or a physician, you have power at your job. That doesn't mean you have power in a relationship, but I think it's like there's a power imbalance where they're powerful at work and they go home and it's like, wait, I'm not the king here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I want to be the king somewhere else. And also access.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm kind of screwed because I'm not the king anywhere.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, not the king at work.

[Eddie]

Hey. Keeps you in check.

[Bobby Bones]

Not the king.

[Eddie]

But you don't want to be the king. Well, you don't want to be the.

[Bobby Bones]

King sometimes, you know, but you can't.

[Eddie]

Sometimes be the king.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like the Tom Petty song. Like, it'd be cool to be king once in a while.

[Eddie]

You can't sometimes be the king.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[Eddie]

Nobody gets to be the boss occasionally when they feel like it. It's either you do all the things to be it and then you got to be it. And there's some great things that come with it, but there's some really hard things, too. You don't get to pick and choose or you don't. And you never have to deal with the headaches and the heartache and the stress and. But you also don't get the rewards from it.

[Bobby Bones]

But I should be the king of my house. Like I should.

[Eddie]

But that's on you.

[Amy]

Why are you not?

[Bobby Bones]

Because they don't listen to me. They don't listen to us. Like, they don't. They just don't. Like we have to tell them five times to go do something.

[Eddie]

It's just like.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you not hear me the first four times?

[Eddie]

I would say then that those are the peasants. Don't listen to the king there.

[Amy]

Right. Exactly.

[Eddie]

You need to read. Yeah. You need to kill one people, behave like.

[Bobby Bones]

And let it show the other. See it off with their head.

[Eddie]

That's right. Sometimes as a king, you gotta make tough decisions.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'll do that this week.

[Eddie]

Yes. Let's see what else we got. The hardest working states in America. Number one is Amy.

[Amy]

The hardest. Probably the state. Michigan.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's a good guess.

[Eddie]

Michigan did not come in the top ten.

[Amy]

Okay, Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Pennsylvania steel workers.

[Eddie]

Not the top ten.

[Amy]

Texas.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox. Oh, sorry, Texas. Well, guess one that Amy didn't guess.

[Will Lucas]

Well, she went out of turn. That was what I was gonna guess.

[Eddie]

Well, I also didn't say we're going in turns.

[Amy]

I know, I got a little excited.

[Eddie]

It's chaos right now. But anyway, pick one here.

[Will Lucas]

Okay. Louisiana.

[Eddie]

No, Amy. You can't pick Texas. But did it make the list? Go ahead.

[Amy]

[Bobby Bones]

[Will Lucas]

I thought they just chilled.

[Bobby Bones]

They do chill, man. Just go surfing. And a lot of farms out there, huh? Pineapple farms. Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, I went to the dole factory.

[Eddie]

Tell us more.

[Amy]

Pretty fascinating.

[Eddie]

Yeah, tell us more. We're. We're all ears.

[Amy]

The pineapples, especially the little baby ones, are so stinking cute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, huh?

[Amy]

And then they have this thing called Dole Whip. Have you ever had Dole whip?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. At Disneyland.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's legit.

[Eddie]

What's more overrated, Hawaii or Disneyland?

[Bobby Bones]

Disneyland, dude, Disneyland's not real.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna go with Hawaii.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you say that?

[Amy]

Are you kidding? It's so beautiful.

[Bobby Bones]

You're saying that. Shock value.

[Amy]

No, I'm not so beautiful.

[Eddie]

I thought Hawaii was fine. First of all, I've been there four times. Three for American Idol, one for just when I went out to write a book. And it was so far.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, okay, but what does that have to do with anything?

[Eddie]

And I don't like the beach. It's so far.

[Amy]

I don't love the beach either. But there's mountains. The beauty.

[Bobby Bones]

They're mountains.

[Eddie]

I went and hiked a mountain by myself and I took a picture of me. They thought it was weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That is kind of weird.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We take a picture. Yeah. With who? No, no, just me. Yeah, I like. Disney was fine.

[Bobby Bones]

It's fine.

[Eddie]

But, like, Hawaii was just so far.

[Bobby Bones]

Dave. It's beautiful. It's magical there.

[Amy]

I don't. I don't.

Oh, is that why you asked me about the we're all. The dole factory?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

It's got to be by there.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it goes. France, Germany, Austria. I believe we took a train across.

Huh.

So I believe that. Mike, would you look? I think it's. It goes. We were in France, took a train over to Germany, and then that's when I had my great hot dog. You want to hear about that more? It was at a street fair, and I stopped. We stopped just for the sake of. And me getting a hot dog.

Isn't that where those.

[Eddie]

No. Like, they punish them. They whoop them.

Oh, dang.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. Portugal. Never been there. Here, it's cool. Denmark. Never been there. Slovenia and Finland at 10. We. United States is terrible on this list.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Not safe at all. Russia, not safe. Ukraine, Sudan. United States was 128th.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Eddie]

And we're always like, we don't want to go to this country. It doesn't seem safe.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Global Peace Index. With that, I'll give you one more story here. The Centers for Disease Control Prevention warns Americans that it's not safe to take a shower during a thunderstorm. We've heard this. Didn't know if it was true or not. The problem isn't thunder or the rain. It's that lightning happens. And lightning can occur within thunder. Duh. According to the cdc, it all Boils down to the fact that lightning can reach you indoors. Lightning can travel through plumbing. Most plumbing systems utilize metal pipes, which can serve as a conduit for electrical current. If lightning strikes a water pipe or even nearby, the electricity can be drawn through the pipe and potentially electrocute you if you are showering.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

It's like, what are the odds, though, man?

[Eddie]

I hear you. Not a game. You know what if it's. I don't care. I'll take a shower if I want to take a shower.

[Bobby Bones]

You even. Have you heard the thunder outside?

[Amy]

Yeah, like, because I'm gonna be. That's.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, are you. Are you saying that for real, or are you just making fun of Amy?

[Amy]

Yeah, tell me more.

[Bobby Bones]

She's offended now.

[Eddie]

No, I don't think that's what we say.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me more.

[Eddie]

Is that what we say? Yeah.

[Amy]

Yes. You just said that's what we say.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell us more.

[Eddie]

Tell.

[Amy]

Oh, tell us more.

[Eddie]

Yeah, tell us more. Because it's like a group, and it's a group. We've decided this is the best. I knew. Tell me more didn't feel right.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, because I was offended. So tell me more.

[Bobby Bones]

So are you being serious?

[Eddie]

Like, tell us more.

[Bobby Bones]

You're never going to shower?

[Eddie]

No, I don't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Stop me.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I've been taking bats in the guest bath a lot recently.

[Bobby Bones]

No, this is interesting.

[Eddie]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

This could be interesting.

[Eddie]

Which are we going? Are you telling us more or are you really interested?

[Amy]

No, I really want to know.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a one to one, so lunchbox. You break it up. You're the tiebreaker.

[Amy]

Lunchbox. Would love to hear about your baths.

[Will Lucas]

No, not really. I mean, I think it's very awkward, but.

[Eddie]

So you hit me with the tell us more.

[Will Lucas]

Yeah, tell us more.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, but it's the guest bath, guys. Like, why is he in a. Why is it in a different bathtub?

[Amy]

Because your thing you bought, right?

[Eddie]

Well, the thing wouldn't fit over the big bathtub.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's why.

[Eddie]

Well, it's part of the reason. So I like to. When I take a bath, I like to have my stuff up. Like, I like to work and watch. Watch stuff and. Yeah, it's a wooden bath tray that I spent over $100 on.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not worried that it's gonna slip and fall in. In the bath, like your laptop, whatever you're watching?

[Eddie]

No, because the tray is secure. Because it's over the top of the bathtub. I have.

[Bobby Bones]

But your elbow could Hit it. Anything.

[Eddie]

I'm not doing the chicken dance in the freaking bathtub. And also, like, it gets fuller faster. The bathtub we have in the main bath, it's like a epic 1930s style bathtub. And sometimes I get in. It's just like a cold bowl. Wow. And it's just like.

[Amy]

You like the standard tub?

[Eddie]

Well, it's more of a. You need to fill the tub up and get in. That one is. I don't have the patience for that, because sometimes I. If I fill it up, it takes 12 minutes. I'm like, I don't want to take a bath anymore. I like to get in, turn it on while I'm in, and, you know, do 20, 30 minutes and get out. And also, the bathtub in the main bathroom, it's terribly designed. The handles aren't right at the bathtub.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the handles to turn the water on?

[Eddie]

Yeah, not even turn the water on. But to do the.

[Amy]

But I think that's aesthetic.

[Eddie]

It is, and I've changed it. We're hiring somebody to come in and change it.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to be practical.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

You need. Because sometimes you can't get it exactly right.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's gonna see your bathroom? Like, forget aesthetics in a bathtub.

[Eddie]

I agree. And it looks good, but the water is never perfectly hot or cold, and I have to get out to change it. Sometimes I'm like, kayla, can you give me a little more hot? She's like, are you kidding?

[Bobby Bones]

Is so it's the two where you have to do the certain amount of hot and then cold. Man, that's tough. We got to stop doing that one.

[Eddie]

And it's not even at the bathtub. You have to get out, walk over to the wall, and change it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's annoying.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's annoying for everybody. Kaylin, It's a little. Can you be a little cold? It's a little hot. So all those things. I've been doing a little guest bathroom up there. I love a bath.

[Amy]

You should get one of those, like, claw stick grabber thingies, and you can be in the tub.

[Bobby Bones]

The ones you pick up trash with.

[Eddie]

Those are cool.

[Amy]

And then, like, you could turn the knobs that way.

[Eddie]

You can't claw stick this.

[Bobby Bones]

It's too far.

[Eddie]

Too far. And I wouldn't want to do that to the handles. They're nice handles, but we're gonna have someone dig a hole in the ground, come up, and then make it at the bathtub.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell us more.

[Eddie]
