  • Today: ~28.5
  • Men’s today: ~30
• Insights about credit laws for women (Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974).

• Quote – Amy: “Even if I get married young and stay married as a couple...you're going to be married to a different wife, and being married to a different husband over and over again...how you evolve together.” (53:48)

[Bobby Bones]

We must.

[Amy]

Whoever said orange is the new pink?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, seriously disturbed? Listen to Las culturistas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or you get your podcasts. I'm Jorge Ramos.

[Amy]

And I'm Paola Ramos.

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy]

We are jumping right in and ready to hear from you, your thoughts, your questions, your feelings about socks with sandals. And we're ready to share some possibly questionable advice. And hot takes. God, that sucks so hard, though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you match their pettiness for funsies? Yeah, all the things. Because aren't we all trying to get a little more better?

Whether you're trying to invest for your future, navigate a toxic workplace, or I got you. Listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, let's go around the room. To start this off, I gotta go by the bank today though.

[Mike]

Money.

[Bobby Bones]

I gotta get some cash.

[Mike]

Yes, so do I.

[Bobby Bones]

For Vegas. Because I get there and you go to the ATM in the casino and it's. Do you want to withdraw 400 bucks? I sure do. You want to pay a $27 fee? I don't, but they know they have you. I just remembered I got to do that. Amy, you want to go first?

[Amy]

Sure, I guess. Museum heists are up. They're on the rise.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate that for museums. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. So a thief stole a sum of gold worth $700,000 from the Paris Natural History Museum this week.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

And then also this week, an ancient Pharaoh's priceless 3,000 year old bracelet went missing at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

[Bobby Bones]

You would think they would guard the stuff that's so valuable with the same amount of intention and security they would if it was just that amount of cash laying there. Because if you had something that was worth a million dollars or you had a million dollars in cash, you would think you would guard that the same. And I'm not saying they're not, but if you're able to heist this stuff, that's. That feels like they're not properly securing it, right?

[Amy]

Yeah, I. I don't know. These people are just using like explosives to get in and. Explosives? Yeah, some people.

[Mike]

Bones, you saw the Mona Lisa, like, was that secured?

[Bobby Bones]

There's no way you're getting. So there's no way you're getting, like, how.

[Mike]

How is it secured?

[Amy]

Well, so when I was reading about this, the Mona Lisa was stolen back in 1911, and that actually made it more popular. Like it was a relatively unknown da Vinci painting until three robbers stole it back then. And then the theft made it this like very sought after piece. So when they got it back, like it was returned. I don't know, I guess they just decided, never mind.

[Bobby Bones]

And this is ugly. We thought she'd be hotter. Here, you can have this back. Yeah, there's no way. First of all, it is down. The Louvre is underground. So you have to go underground to get into the museum. And so you go down these humongous stairs you're under and then that. It's like, I'm gonna just make this up. But I think it's like an eighth of a mile in. Whoa. You've got to go. So, yeah, you gotta go so far in and follow all these hallways and then you finally get there. And it's just so. And then once you get there, it's covered in this crazy plastic or glass or some mixture of that that I think is not only protective for people robbing it, but also from, like, the pictures, the lights. I think there's something to that because, you know, flash, flash, flash over and over again. We'll wipe something out.

[Mike]

So you can probably steal it. You just probably can't get out of there with it.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be hard to get to it. But I think if you do get to it, what are you gonna. What are you gonna do? Yeah, Hide in the bathroom.

[Mike]

Right. Until it closes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then. Yeah, that'd be tough. Heists are on the rise.

[Amy]

Yeah. Museums.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how you know the economy's not doing great when heists start to go up. That's one of the factors.

[Amy]

Yeah. One of the main things in the story, when I was reading about it, was that, yeah, Mona Lisa wasn't even as popular until it got stolen. And then I was like, is that the greatest PR stunt of all time? Like, did they steal it and then return it? So.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it feels like yesterday we were talking about Beyonce's music being stolen. I was like, I'd fake this and be like, we can't believe it. The music's stolen. Oh, my God. And then you leak it yourself and go, aha, I've got your music. And now we'll leak this one song at a time. So much interest on it then. So. Yeah, I didn't know that about it being stolen back in the day. I imagine if I were put back in 1911 right now, with everything I know now, that'd be one of the only things I think I could do that I think would benefit me. Because I don't know how technology works. It's not like I could go back and be like, guys, they have iPads. Let me show you how these were. I have no idea. I just use it. But I think one of the things that I could do is rob and.

[Mike]

Kill and get away with it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Robin killed well.

[Mike]

Cause you learn so much about how people can get away with murders and stuff now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Get away. And then they didn't have. They didn't have DNA evidence.

[Mike]

Yeah. It's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

What's a security alarm? Somebody yelling, hark.

[Mike]

Right, Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Hark. Thief.

[Mike]

Stop him.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that could be the thing that I would do, and I don't think I would ever do that now. But if you put me back, then I might just be a serial killer, because I know I can get away with it.

[Amy]

Ugh.

[Mike]

No, no. You understand what he's saying? I mean, he's hypothetically. Like, if he could.

[Bobby Bones]

It's only hypothetical because I can't go back and forth.

[Amy]

The whole thing is hypothetical. But why even hypothetically that.

[Mike]

But he's saying that's the only thing he could really do. Like, he can't invent a computer. I can't. He can't invent an airplane. Was that 1911? When was that?

[Amy]

Around then, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

1919. I don't know. Mike, will you look that up? Orville and Wilbur. Right. I start thinking, wrong. I wouldn't be able to do any of that.

[Mike]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe a bicycle. But they already had those. It'd be the simplest of things. 1903. There you go. 1903. Good job. Yeah. I couldn't invent light or fire. That was before it sucked to live back then, knowing all the things we have now, the two things. Hot water.

[Amy]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

And air conditioning.

[Amy]

You could tell people to not get on the Titanic.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't do it.

[Mike]

They won't listen to you, though. No one's gonna say, like, okay, this.

[Bobby Bones]

Is telling me, I think she's onto something. I don't think we can use our predictive minds. I don't think that's fair because I would then just bet on sports. I'd bet on boxing and horse racing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So. But to your point, I think if that were allowed in this hypothetical situation, everything's allowed. You would do that and nobody would believe you. But then you could go, I'm the psychic that said, don't go on the Titanic. So you should believe me for other things and make money off that. You'd be the Miss Cleo of 1922.

[Mike]

And then you'd be accurate with all the other stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember a lot of stuff.

[Mike]

But you'd have to know your history.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I know, like macro history. Like, women's suffrage comes up. I'm like, hey, women going to vote soon. Trust me. Hey, bet on that.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's going to be controversial, but women are going to be able to vote.

[Amy]

You know, help with the Great Depression.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, he can. Prohibition and stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be hydro alcohol.

[Amy]

Yeah. Open a speakeasy.

[Mike]

That's where the money's at.

[Amy]

Open it like, before it becomes illegal and be like, trust me, guys, you're going to want to be a member here.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you do it before it becomes illegal, because whatever. Then they know where it is and they target it. If it stays open.

[Amy]

No, you. Like, on the down low. Be, like, low key. Come join my club.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Trust me.

[Mike]

And all the bank robberies, they're going.

[Amy]

To already trust you because you predicted the Titanic.

[Mike]

The bank robberies. I know who did them. It's Bonnie and Clyde.

[Bobby Bones]

But we're not getting to be predictors because. Or we just bet on sports.

[Mike]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's.

[Mike]

That.

[Bobby Bones]

That's Biff's Almanac.

[Mike]

Back to the future, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just if you could take your knowledge back into a different timeline where everything doesn't happen the exact same way, but you can take your knowledge of what you've learned about inventions. Let me think. You know, what utilities could you take back? I. I don't know.

[Amy]

You could buddy up with Ford.

[Bobby Bones]

You.

[Mike]

Know, and, like, I don't know, you.

[Bobby Bones]

Could get to him.

[Mike]

What, Henry?

[Amy]

Yeah, Henry, like you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd want to buddy up with Rockefeller if we're doing that.

[Amy]

Oh, sure.

[Mike]

Or Vandy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then Vanderbilt.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you meant Mahatma Gandhi. I don't know if I'm gonna fly back then. I don't like flying now.

[Mike]

Go to India.

[Amy]

You kind of just like, give them one little idea or something that might be good for the. And then you're in.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think that's probably tougher than just being in with those rich guys.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no, no, no. You come up, you're like, I don't know. When did they. Like, what? On the car. Like, when did they have the blinker or the horn or the. Like, could you, like, bring something to the table?

[Bobby Bones]

Can imagine criticizing his invention and, like, giving him an idea before it's even out? Hey, I got. That's good, man. But let me tell you something else. You'd be kicked out immediately. Railroad. He's like, who do you think you are telling me about a blinker? Yeah, that's crazy.

[Mike]

What about, like, dyslexia? Like, guys, you're seeing these words different. That's called dyslexia. And this is why you have.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that the calling it. The word would do anything. Because you could say, this is called sleuthnomnia, and it would mean the same, but it was. Do you have enough of an understanding of it to teach that it's real and how to fix it?

[Amy]

Okay, guys, the concept of dyslexia was first described in 1877.

[Mike]

They'd be like, we already know dyslexia, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Good point. It's a good point.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's Tough man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We don't know much.

[Mike]

I wouldn't know how to teach anyone anything.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know much, but we know.

[Amy]

Oh, how about mental health? I bet they weren't in on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Not only were they not in, they didn't want to be in, but, well.

[Amy]

They didn't know what they didn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

They weren't woke enough then, but, well.

[Mike]

You could just like, again, you would sound so crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd sound like today if you were like, guys, we should not cut down trees because they have lives, too. Because somebody came to us from the future and said that crap. First of all, we wouldn't believe they were from the future. Secondly, be like, shut up. They're trees. They're not real. But who knows? In 130 years, we might find that these plants are really like, because they do need nutrients, they do need sunlight. They need everything that we need. They grow, they die.

[Mike]

They don't have that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And so in 120 years, that could be a thing where they've discovered that plants really do, quote, unquote, live. And if someone came to tell us that, we'd be like, shut up. You're crazy. That's not true. Watch. So I think it would be met the same way. So unless you could actually provide an actual invention, it'd be very difficult. But I don't want to go back because I don't. I don't want to have just only cold water because there was no hot water.

[Mike]

Not.

[Bobby Bones]

Not really for normal people.

[Mike]

Well, then can we teach them to heat water up?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but how. You know how to do it with fire?

[Amy]

The people that could do it knew how to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

You could boil water.

[Amy]

Access to.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the revolution.

[Mike]

What is it? The water heater. That's what we would need to figure out.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, well, it'd be great if you had, like, a month of prep and you could just learn a couple things. Like, you know, you're going back and you got to cram on how to build a couple of things.

[Mike]

Give me the water heater.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that'd be cool. That'd be cool. All right. Good luck to all those museums.

[Mike]

Yeah. Because it's high season season right now.

[Bobby Bones]

High season Lunchbox. Well, I'm not a big Coachella guy, but Rolling Stone has confirmed that Justin Bieber will now be the highest paid performer in the history of the fest. He's going to be the headliner next year, and he got a paycheck of more than $10 million. Yeah. Also, he negotiated his own deal. And a lot of times, you know, you have agents and managers and. But he pretty much negotiated the whole thing. So he was able to cut them out of. Not cut them out, but they weren't a part of that process. So a lot of the fees that you pay to those people that help you, he didn't have to pay.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

He had lawyers involved. But he's one of the three, I believe, or maybe four. It's him. It's Carol G. I believe is her name that's headlining it. Sabrina Carpenter. Mike, you may look this up because it's a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Friday, Saturday, Sunday event. Carol G performed, if I'm right, at the Brazil NFL game halftime.

[Mike]

Oh, that was her?

[Bobby Bones]

I think so.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Carol G. I'm going off from memory because I just. I scrolled through the story.

[Mike]

Sounds familiar. So, dude, that was hot.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Mike]

That Brazilian halftime show.

[Amy]

I like hearing Eddie say that.

[Mike]

Why? And you can say it. Why? Why can you say it?

[Amy]

Well, I haven't said it. I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you have, Mike? Yeah, that was her. And those are all the big three. So the three headliners are Carol G, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bieber. And she was at the Brazil game. Yeah.

[Mike]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You didn't like it?

[Bobby Bones]

It's fine. The whole thing was.

[Mike]

The whole thing was great. Booty shaking.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I saw it.

[Mike]

Like, we don't do that in America. It was amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

It was definitely Latin. Yeah, it was definitely Latin.

[Amy]

Hey, Eddie, stop.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

Aim annoyed. You're like. It was all booty shaking. It was hot. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You are being kind of weird.

[Mike]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Mike]

I just like that it's the whisper crease whispering.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, it's like, there's a difference in, like, over the top. Because Lunchbox is, like, over the top creepy, but you're, like, whispering creepy. And that feel. I feel like that's a bit different. That's even creepier. It's like. Yeah.

[Mike]

I didn't realize I was doing that.

[Amy]

Oh, that's hot. That show.

[Bobby Bones]

The thing, too, is like, you know, they're paying Carol G millions and millions of dollars. This is when you realize, one, you're too old for the young part of pop culture. And I just understand it's not for me to enjoy, like, I don't know any of her music. And she's headlining Coachella, like, not one of the secondary massive acts. There's still mass. But she's one of the headliners of the entire night. And so I go, don't know her music. Not supposed to know her music.

[Amy]

Oh, wow. So here's how much I know. I googled Carol, like, C, A, R, O, L. And it's with a K. Of course it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

It's way cooler. K, A, R, O, L. Do you.

[Bobby Bones]

Know her music, Mike? No. She's from Colombia, I believe. Yeah. I didn't know if our Hispanic. I know Eddie doesn't, because he's over here.

[Mike]

Nah, it's the first time.

[Bobby Bones]

Salivating her salvation. But you're also 10 years younger than Eddie. Nah, I haven't got into her. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. Is all of her music Spanish? I believe so. Yeah.

[Mike]

But it wasn't even her. That was, like. It was the whole thing.

[Amy]

It was all the booty dances.

[Mike]

Well, yeah. Cause it was a whole choreographed booty dance. And then they would all just, like, booty shake at the same time. Like, the whole. And they were all on the field. It was crazy, Amy. Like, it was something.

[Bobby Bones]

We got it, dude. We got it.

[Mike]

It was crazy. All my boys, as we were watching it, all my boys are, like, mouths wide open.

[Bobby Bones]

They're hypnotized.

[Mike]

This is amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Eddie, what do you have?

[Mike]

So in Austria, like, about four years ago, these nuns that ran a school in Austria, they were like, since they were really young, they ran the school. They were awesome at it. It was their life. And then the Catholic Church all of a sudden says, like, a couple weeks ago, like, hey, you're not gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

You're too old.

[Mike]

We're gonna move you to a Catholic retirement home. So they moved them, like, miles and miles away. And they were so upset about it. They just broke free the other day, and they made it back to the school, and they were shocked. People were like, oh, my gosh. These three old nuns, they're like, no, you can't take us out of the place that we started from the very beginning. We want to be back.

[Bobby Bones]

And.

[Mike]

And they broke out of the retirement home and made it back to the school. That's pretty awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Thelma and Louise of none.

[Mike]

Yeah, I thought that was cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fun. Morgan, what do you have?

[Amy]

Did you guys see yesterday the Spirit Airlines flight along with Air Force One?

[Bobby Bones]

I watched. I say I watched. They showed, like, a picture of the clouds, and then they put the words on the bottom as it was running.

[Mike]

Oh, the audio.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. Tell the story, Morgan.

[Amy]

Well, so Spirit Airlines, basically, the pilots, I guess, weren't paying attention, and you had air traffic control was yelling at them, telling them to take a turn, and they weren't Doing it. But the thing that startled me the.

[Bobby Bones]

Most was what they said at the very end.

[Amy]

It was like, pay attention and get off the iPad.

[Bobby Bones]

Get off your iPad? Yeah.

[Mike]

Well, they mean, like, they're not joking.

[Bobby Bones]

They were joking.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

It was like, stop looking at your iPad. Oh, like, pay attention. What did you think of it?

[Mike]

Well, I thought, like, you know how pilots sometimes control on their iPads or like they have a pad that they control the plane in. I didn't. I didn't think they were playing like Mario Kart on an iPad.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that. Okay. And you. I could be wrong, but my interpretation of it was it's like, like, get off your phone and pay attention. Oh, and I'm sure they have iPads in there, but I think. I don't think they were flying the plane by an iPad.

[Amy]

What do you think there's other. Well, I don't know. Like, my ex husband, he would fly. Like, he did have this iPad looking thing he kept on his knee. But it would. I don't know what it was giving him, but it was information. He wasn't controlling from it, but, like, from there. I don't know if there's other apps or instruments that help him be more.

[Mike]

Efficient to fly, though. They're not playing a game.

[Bobby Bones]

No. But I think the joke was, get off your iPad.

[Mike]

Like, your screen.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, because he was talking down to them.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It was like, hey, get off your iPad and pay attention.

[Mike]

But they were like eight miles away, right? From, like, Air Force One.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a few. Because they said a 4 mile, 6 mile, whatever it was. They kind of flubbed on that a little bit.

[Mike]

I'm like, 8 miles is a long.

[Amy]

Way, but think about how fast you're going.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Amy]

Yeah. Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Got him. Morgan. What? Idiot. Hey, idiot. Police called. They're coming to get you.

[Mike]

Okay. I mean, they're going pretty fast.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. I don't know. I'm just kidding. No idea. Yeah, that's. That's fine. I saw that. But also, you may have said this, but also I read it. It wasn't here. I mean, it was flying. No, it was flying to Europe. So was it right off of the coast in America? Yes.

[Amy]

Well, it was. So it was New York center air traffic controller. So they were leaving from here to go to the uk.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Because I thought Spirit is not in the uk.

[Mike]

Spirit. Okay.

[Amy]

Oh, wait, hold on.

[Bobby Bones]

It says Air Force One was transporting.

[Amy]

Him to United Kingdom.

[Bobby Bones]

But the Spirit flight was en route.

[Amy]

From Fort Lauderdale to Boston.

[Bobby Bones]

So the Fort Lauderdale flight was coming.

[Amy]

In Trump was going to the U.K. get off.

[Bobby Bones]

Candy Crush. That have been even funnier.

[Mike]

Subway Surfer. You played that one. They're like these kids that jump from subway to subway.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you play that one?

[Mike]

My kids play it. And then I'm like, give me that. Let me try that.

[Bobby Bones]

Then again, they've moved off of it, and you're on it two years later, still trying to master Subway Surfer. Okay, let's see. Am I the only one left to go? Mm. Okay, I got a couple things here. Thanks for asking, Amy. I don't want to. Let me. I'll show you this in a minute. Let me do some voicemails. Let's go with Ray. Give me voicemail number three. This is Comcast Xfinity. This is a final advisory that the 50% discount on your monthly bill has been removed due to lack of response. If this is an error and you want to keep the discount, call back on the number showing on your caller ID immediately to correct it. Thank you. That's a scam, right?

[Mike]

Oh, I was gonna say Scuba. You need to call them, dude, because one.

[Bobby Bones]

One, we don't have Comcast Infinity. We don't have anything.

[Mike]

We don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Not in the studio.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless it's Internet. But they wouldn't call the request like the. That line. Yeah. And secondly, look at the caller ID and call back. Wouldn't it just be 1, 800 if it was really them? Like, 1, 800, Comcast? I think that's a scam. And I wanted to play this because I think people get scams like this a lot. They just throw 10,000 of them out there, and if they get two calls, you know, eureka, right? Everybody think that's a scam?

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Now I do. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They would know their number, but they have. They change their number so much, they don't know it. So they have to say, just look at the caller id. Give me number five. Ray, love the idea of him in the tuxedo. I don't know if he recently saw Travis Kelce wearing the tuxedo with shorts, but I think that would also be epic for Lunchbox to do. Put on the tuxedo top. It would definitely make him stand out even more.

[Mike]

It would be way more comfortable for.

[Bobby Bones]

Him running around and doing all that sort of stuff. And obviously, Travis Kelce just did it. So, you know, it's a look. It's trending. And rocket, did you see Travis Kelsey lunchbox in the jacket, buttoned up in shorts? Yeah, I did. That was when he was Walking into the game, I believe. Yeah. Like last weekend or something. But, yes, I did see that, and I didn't know if they. Do they make tuxedos like that or did he just cut those into shorts? So they do make them. Because sometimes you'll see different artists wearing something like that, and sometimes you'll see on some of the sites, you know, you can get the tuxedo top, but it's specifically made with the shorts. It's not like they're making a tuxedo and going, you can get pants or shorts. It's like, usually something that's made together. Yeah. I just think you're kind of too old for that look. It's very much a young, young man's look. I mean, Travis Kelce can do it because he's famous. And.

[Mike]

How old is he?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, 36.

[Mike]

Is that young? 36, 35.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he. He's on the older end of. I don't think that's young. But if you're famous, you get the credit of, like, 10 years. So like, sometimes you see rappers wearing that kind of stuff. Or like, rock guys. Like, young rock guys. Also, it kind of defeats the purpose of. If you're wearing a tuxedo to prove that you're. You're dressing up because you think this is such an important event. If you're pulling off, you're not wearing pants, it's like, this is more of a joke.

[Amy]

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, that's true.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do the shorts. I would just wear a tuxedo. Like, you're going to a wedding, like tuxedo. Yeah. Because I don't want it to be a joke. It's not a joke. It's not.

[Mike]

It's serious.

[Bobby Bones]

It is. It is not a joke. It is not a joke. I pulled up my Instagram this morning, and I was on E. Online, and there's another story about me on Dancing with the Stars. This is. It happens every year at this time because the show starts again, and so they look for anything. And so, like, on the front page of I get E News. Yeah. There I am. And it's a different story.

[Mike]

Not the cheating one.

[Bobby Bones]

Boy. That was on. What was the show Extra last night?

[Mike]

It was.

[Bobby Bones]

It was everywhere. Wow.

[Mike]

So. So when they. When they talk about. Is it like Poppy Bones cheated on Dancing with the Stars?

[Bobby Bones]

Here's the story, kind of. They definitely sensationalize the tease. Coming up next, what? Former Dancing with the Stars castmate admits to cheating to win the show.

[Mike]

Dang, that's a good tease.

[Bobby Bones]

And then they come back and it's like cheating on Dancing with the Stars. How can it happen? Well, former winner, season 27, Bobby Bones, admits he cheated. Here's how. So then you've set through the next 15 seconds, and then just leading into it, and it's like a clip of me on a podcast going, yeah, I cheated on Dancing with the Stars. Then they cut out from that, and so now you're in 27 seconds and it still hasn't. And it's like, yeah, well, according to the rules, officially, Bobby said. And the very end of it is so quick. It's like he would get an extra studio and work by himself. All right, back to you, John.

[Mike]

Yeah. 27 seconds in, I'm already like, this guy's a cheater, dude. I'd move on rest of my life. I'd be like, yeah, Bobby Bones. Ah, Andy's a cheater.

[Amy]

So what's the new headline? Bobby Bones shares how much money he made on Dancing with the Stars.

[Bobby Bones]

Also not a new story, because I've talked about it a few times.

[Mike]

Same podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yes.

[Amy]

You've also said it here, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, a bunch of times. And I, on that podcast, I wasn't as detailed about it because I don't remember exactly. Because I don't remember how it went week tweak, but it was. You get a hundred and something thousand dollars just to agree to be on the show. Like, to do the first.

[Amy]

That's not bad. Show up. Well, yeah, to agree and then show up. Like, you get kicked off in the first week, but you still get that.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody gets kicked off the first week. And you have to do two weeks before the show even starts.

[Amy]

Sorry, sorry. Second.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's like a month worth of work. I'm not saying that it's bad money, but I'm saying it's not as easy as get your money and show up, because you got to do press for a week, you got to be away, you got to go live in California or be there a lot, fly back.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't mean minimize what has to go into that. However, if the longer you stay, the more difficult it is. So it's kind of crazy that even the beginner type people that get kicked off early still make. That's a significant amount of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's just the. Hey, you'll be on the show. We can promote you being on the show.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's four weeks.

[Mike]

Do they pay for your everything Your apartment and all that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And we had to live because Mike lived with me. We had to live where everybody else didn't live because I had to work. I was the only one working on this.

[Amy]

So did they all live, like, at a similar. Like, Melrose Place?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they all lived in the same apartment complex compound.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

And so. And we were in a dorm room in Glendale. We were. Yeah, we were 30 minutes away from them because I had to live next to the radio station because we had to work all the time, every day, you know, to do this show. And so, yeah, you get your 110 or 120 to agree to the show, to do all the press, to do four weeks on the show, because it's two weeks before anybody gets kicked off. It's two weeks training. So that's that. And then after that, if you last past week two, it's like 10 grand. 10 grand. 10 grand or something like that. Then it goes to 20, and eventually it's $50,000 an episode, if you make it to the last episode.

[Mike]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

And I won, and I think all in. It was close to $400,000.

[Mike]

So you get more when you win.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope, you get more for making it to the very end. You don't get a winner's check, but you do. Just to make it to that last episode, you get another $50,000.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So when you're kicked off and some people on that show don't have jobs, you know, they're in between. So when you get kicked off, you're like, oh, man, I got kicked off the show. But mostly it's like, I'm not getting a check. So, yeah, that's what it was. And I told Jason Tartek his podcast I was on, I was like, yeah, it was around $400,000, because he wanted to know if that, for me, turned into other types of money. And I was like, oh, yeah. I said one. I only did it because ABC wanted me to do it. I never had the goal of being on Dancing with the Stars. I never thought I would be on Dancing with the Stars. I never raised my hand and said, can I be on Dancing with the Stars? They came to me and said, we want you to be on Dancing with the Stars. And I was like, are you sure? So that's how that started. And then it was the conversation about the money, but what it allowed after that.

[Mike]

Did his ex do Dancing with the Stars?

[Bobby Bones]

She won.

[Mike]

Oh, she won. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Like last year or the year before.

[Mike]

While they were together.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know when they were together. Yeah, I have no idea. But yeah, she's. But she was also a dancer so she was good.

[Mike]

She was naturally good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, naturally. I don't know because again she was a dancer so she like had trained a lot.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But I mean some of that is like you're. Some people are born more gifted in that area. Sort of like singing. I don't even think with all the proper training in the world. I could sing, move, dance.

[Mike]

Bobby did.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean I could, but not like some of these people. I took that hip hop dance class with my daughter and there was six year olds to 60 year olds in the class and there were some 60 year olds nailing it. And some of the six year olds, they would just have to see the instructor do it one time through and they could mimic it.

[Mike]

Yeah, some people have that.

[Amy]

Yeah, they visualize it and they could recreate it, no problem. And I was.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a developed skill, more than a talent.

[Mike]

Some people can just move their body.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. But watching a coach do all those moves, that's a developed skill, way more than a talent.

[Amy]

Sure, you, I guess some of the.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody who just has good movement in their body can't just watch somebody do six moves or a full eight count of moves and go, got it.

[Amy]

I know, I just think like. But some of it is like, think of like, like Caitlyn, she hears a song once and she can sing back every word. Like that's.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's.

[Amy]

She's got a gift.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like. I wouldn't even consider that the same because I think there are probably people that are brilliant in that. So now. But that's 0.0001%. I just mean like good. And I'm just saying the general good person that can move their body, they have to develop that skill to watch a full 16 count and go, oh, I got it. They've had to do that and learn how to do it in steps. Yeah, but some people just move better than others. For sure.

[Mike]

It's just funny when you talk about Dance with the Stars. I'm like, man, I would just go and I can't dance. Let's just see how we do. And if I may.

[Bobby Bones]

But you would. Once you realize there's money.

[Mike]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

And then also when you're dancing on television, it's, yeah, maybe you're right. We have different persons.

[Mike]

You went in with a whole different attitude.

[Bobby Bones]

Once I committed, I committed.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Like I was there to win. I remember Telling Shauna, we're winning. And this is like, week one, she's.

[Mike]

Like, what did she say? She laugh at you?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but she was. I think it was a bit of. I don't know how that's gonna happen. Cause I was so far behind and she had really great partners that didn't win. No fault of hers. She had a Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter.

[Mike]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She had former NFL players, and they didn't win. And she made it to the Finals. But whatever it was, they didn't have that Je nequi, sais quoi.

[Mike]

Which you had.

[Bobby Bones]

I had too much.

[Amy]

I found. You know, we were playing. Played that Dancing with the Stars audio. So I was trying to look for the video to see if I had emailed it to myself. And I found an email that I sent to you. And I'm surprised that you didn't be like, what? Don't say that. Because I emailed you saying, hey, I went ahead and booked my flight to LA for the finale because you're gonna win and I wanna be there. So I'm Already booked my flight.

[Mike]

Oh, like the jinx, you mean? Yeah, like, don't say that.

[Bobby Bones]

I was so tired. I don't even think I.

[Amy]

Maybe you didn't even see it.

[Bobby Bones]

I let it fly. Oh, I saw it.

[Amy]

I'm sure I don' cause I was like, I can't believe I sent that. What was I thinking? I should have just booked it and not said anything. But I was, like, so excited. I was like, flight's booked. You're gonna win.

[Bobby Bones]

Boop, boop.

[Mike]

I remember I went. I didn't even see you. I got there and Bobby's like, hey. And then he went to practice, and then I never saw him. And then I went to the studio with Mike, and then we saw you on the set, and then afterwards.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I didn't see you when you got there.

[Mike]

And then afterwards we left. But yeah, man, I barely saw you out there.

[Bobby Bones]

I went to every show. Never packed my bag. I'm like, we're not going. Oh, yeah. Because they wanted you to pack your bag every show. Because you just get sent home right after. Oh, you do press and then you go home.

[Mike]

So you'd have to pack your bag every time you go live. Like the show.

[Bobby Bones]

I never pack my bag. Good.

[Mike]

Because that's good.

[Amy]

That's probably good for the mental mindset.

[Mike]

Mike, you didn't either.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Never packed it.

[Mike]

See, I would have packed it every time.

[Amy]

Another way he cheated.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Never packed my bag.

[Amy]

They told him, pack your bag.

[Bobby Bones]

And he said, no, I. It's just every year, because, again, I was one of the more controversial finishes. Every year this comes up, and it's another week of talking about it, because I don't ever go into anything going, like, I'd like to talk about Dancing with the Stars. That feels to me like a lifetime ago.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I still have my mirrorball trophy, which is fun, but that's never something that I bring up to go. I'd like to talk about this because I feel like I've exhausted it.

[Mike]

But every year it's fun to talk about.

[Bobby Bones]

It comes back up. I never get invited to go back to the stuff.

[Mike]

Never. Nothing. But if you showed up, they would be like, hey, Bobby, come on in. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. There's been so much change in the executive.

[Mike]

Oh, like that people that all are running it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, I know the showrunner, though, now better than I knew the one even then. But he doesn't invite me back. I used to work with him. I had signed a deal with BBC and I was, like, creating programming for them for a few years, and he was the guy. He was my guy. And now he's running that show. And I messaged him the other day, and I was like, hey, congrats. Saw you're the showrunner, which means the big boss. And he's like, dude, thanks. And we mentioned a couple other things. We used to talk about sports, but I said, I haven't been invited back or anything. I don't even know that I would go. But it would be nice to get the invite.

[Mike]

Right? It's kind of how you are in life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I'm probably like, oh, I can't make it, but thank you. But when I don't get that, I'm.

[Mike]

Like, why didn't I get invited?

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't watch episode one of this season. And I don't know if they even anybody goes back. I didn't see anybody in the crowd. Yeah. So maybe that's not even really a thing. But I didn't go back. They don't have me, like, go and mentor the dancers. I don't think they want me mentoring. What I did. They just had the Bachelorette there, but I think that was it. What do you mean? Is she the current one coming up? The one coming up.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay, that makes sense because that's cross promotion. That's straight promotion. Yeah. I was gonna share this, Amy, so I messaged somebody on Instagram. I don't want to say who it is right now. I just wonder if you recognize this name.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you would if you saw us. If, like, you saw his face and stuff.

[Amy]

Well, I couldn't. It's too tiny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh.

[Mike]

Oh, you can read the name.

[Amy]

I could read the name. I couldn't see the face.

[Bobby Bones]

Look him up on your phone. You want to see his name again?

[Amy]

Yeah, I need to. I saw the. I got the first name. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Don'T say who it is.

[Mike]

I didn't hear it.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me if you recognize him.

[Amy]

Oh, I mean, I've seen him, but.

[Bobby Bones]

You've seen him on stuff.

[Amy]

Yeah, he's, like, popped up before, but I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

He's been on some major shows. He's been on.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm not gonna say who he is for a reason right now, but he's been on Joe Rogan, Whatever. So I messaged him.

[Amy]

Yeah. So what'd you say?

[Bobby Bones]

I said, hey, man, keep up the good work. I don't know him. Never even been in the same room with him. I said, hey, keep up the good work. He doesn't follow me on Instagram. And I was just gonna read a message back to you, which is. It's positive, it's fun, but also, it's like, man, time marches on at the same time. Because he wrote back.

[Amy]

Oh, he wrote back.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, he wrote back in, like, six hours.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

To an un. Into one of his inboxes that you don't see. Like, it goes into, like, a special message if you have a blue check mark. He said, hey, thank you so much for the message. I'm a big fan. My little sister and I used to listen to you on Kiss FM back in Austin on our way to school. You are the voice of my childhood. I'm also friends with. And he mentioned somebody who used to be an intern for us, who I know still, obviously, he's one of the interns I like, keep up with. He gets. Small world. Thanks again for the message. It means a lot. Thought. That's pretty crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah. Wow. Hmm. Yeah. Okay. Cause I see we're now where he was born. Yeah, that makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was pretty crazy. My point with that was not to keep. Not to keep back who it was. But there's some time marches on moments where someone's like, I used to listen to you in the car when I was a kid.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm, like, sending him a message, being like, dude, keep up the good work. Like, you're killing it. I admire what you're doing. And he's like, hey, old guy, you.

[Mike]

Remember our boss Rod? You know, like, he was on the air and we were with him somewhere and somebody was like, wow, you were the here?

[Bobby Bones]

No, we were playing pickleball. Rock and Rod.

[Mike]

Who was it?

[Bobby Bones]

It was Nick.

[Mike]

It was Nick, our friend.

[Bobby Bones]

Our friend Nick who grew up in Kentucky. And he was like, you're Rock and Rod. And Rod's like, I haven't been called that in 25 years. And he was like, he's listening to Rock and Rod on the radio.

[Mike]

I might personally lose hope. This individual might lose the faith, but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith. And that's what I believed in. To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective. There's not a single day that Paula and I don't call or text each other, sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country. This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing intergenerational conversation public.

God, that sucks so hard though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you? Their pettiness for funsies? Yeah, we had so much fun last season. Laughing, crying, talking to some new and old friends.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember when we were in that scene where you guys were just supposed to hug and I was standing?

[Amy]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, can I also hug them? I'm like, this has no friends.

[Amy]

This time around we are. Say it, Melissa. Should I say it? Getting a little more better. Oh, finally. It's all the dressing room talk you loved in season one. All the things.

[Bobby Bones]

You get your podcast. See, Gen Z and I get confused. Gen X, then Millennials, then Gen Z. Is that the order is Millennial, then Gen Y, right? That would make sense because if it goes X, millennial, Gen Z. That millennial is also Gen Y. Yeah, we just don't call it that. Got it. Thank you, Mike. So the whole situation is Apparently, Gen Z spends significantly less time outside than Gen X. And that's all screens, right?

[Mike]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't spend as much time outside. Are you? No, I'm just saying because. Screens. Yeah, I love screens. It's my favorite.

[Mike]

Am I an Xer? Yeah, I'm a Gen X. Yeah, I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

I am, too. It just depends on what thing you look at. So I would be like, old millennial or a young Gen X, because I was born in 1980.

[Mike]

You're right on.

[Bobby Bones]

And some of them are 80, some of them are 81. It doesn't matter. I'd rather be Gen X, honestly, because of the association with millennials.

[Amy]

But, yeah, yeah, you're on the line.

[Bobby Bones]

I love screens.

[Mike]

You do?

[Bobby Bones]

It's my favorite thing. The world is at your fingertips. I was watching Bo Burnham talk about how every night we all decide we have the knowledge of the world at our fingertips. Do we keep learning from it or go to bed?

[Mike]

Oh, that's an easy decision.

[Amy]

Go to bed.

[Mike]

Go to bed.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I struggle going to bed. I don't sleep well. But it's different than going to bed. Like, if I get on something and I want to learn about it more. I'm watching videos. I'm deep. I'm like, I can't go to sleep. I'm fighting. I'm holding my eyes open, like, that's me.

[Mike]

Mine's always like, I don't care that much. I'm going to bed.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you watching on Tick Tock now? Mostly, like, what comes up.

[Amy]

Oh, I'd have to go. Think I haven't been on that much. What?

[Bobby Bones]

The world's greatest entertainment source.

[Amy]

No, I know.

[Mike]

I'm saying.

[Amy]

I'm saying in the last week, I haven't been on as much, so it's not top of Mind like, I'm on right now.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys don't even know I'm watching.

[Amy]

Oh, you're watching.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I got an airpod in the right ear doing two things at once.

[Amy]

I mean, mine typically is a lot of ADHD stuff or household hacks.

[Bobby Bones]

I like stuff like that out of yours, man.

[Mike]

Unfortunately, mine right now is stuck on a lot of Charlie Kirk stuff. Oh, yeah, a lot of updates on the.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's why I'm taking a break. It's too much.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you guys for taking breaks. Not you. For Amy.

[Mike]

No, I'm still watching.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, me too. I'm drawn even more in. Can you imagine if we had social media when 911 happened? All the conspiracy theories.

[Mike]

It'll never end.

[Bobby Bones]

It Would never end. I mean, that's gonna. That. That's what's splitting our country is not just social media, but foreign influences in social media that are extra polarizing already. Polarizing situations. Because that's what it is. Yeah, I've talked about this before. It's all of these accounts, these bots that polarize the real people, make them even more polar. Because what happens is there will be a line of like, this is what's polar. And then people always try to beat that because they want the clicks. Because you know what's not getting clicks? Sensibility. Sensibility doesn't get clicks. It doesn't get promoted within the algorithm. Saying sensible things that make sense, you don't see those because again, they're not promoted because they're not getting the clicks and the views. And what you always want to do if you're someone who is making money off of streams, clicks, views, is be more outrageous than the next person or have a bolder opinion or a hotter take. And that also happens in sports, but sports isn't what's dividing our country. So, yeah, and it's Russia and China and anywhere these bots are that are creating these fake profiles that are making even the polarizing people have to be even more polarizing. Because I will be on the Internet and I'll start to feel like that's the real world and it ain't the real world. Like, what happens on my Twitter feed is not what's happening in the real world. Because I can go up and meet anybody and find things to like, talk about things we have in common.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

On Twitter. Nope, not at all.

[Mike]

That's. I just told my. I was talking to my son about this because he's like, man, everyone's so mad at each other right now. And I'm like, if we walked outside and talked to our neighbors, we wouldn't be mad at each other.

[Bobby Bones]

Andy and your neighbors, that could be possibly completely different than you on the political spectrum. It wouldn't even come up.

[Mike]

We wouldn't even know who. I even know who's different in the political spectrum in our neighborhood. But we wouldn't even talk about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Wouldn't even come up, man.

[Mike]

We just had that conversation, like, two days ago.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, that's what's up. Are you guys raking leaves at your house yet?

[Mike]

No, I don't rake leaves. I never do.

[Bobby Bones]

Do your kids?

[Mike]

We just kind of let them be part of the lawn, and then eventually they just go away.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you getting leaves yet? Are they falling?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's starting to.

[Bobby Bones]

USA Today has a story. With fall steadily approaching, there's something you ought to know. You don't have to wage war on your leaves. Most can stay put in your lawn and shelter. I don't know what that means. Oh, and shelter wildlife. Yeah, shelter wildlife.

[Mike]

Oh, there you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so.

[Amy]

Oh, like, so I should leave them for my deer.

[Bobby Bones]

You could if you want an excuse not to have to rake the leaves.

[Amy]

What is happening? Why is there a frog?

[Mike]

Ribbon that, Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

A frog?

[Amy]

Did y' all not hear ribbon?

[Mike]

Yeah. Did you hear the frog?

[Bobby Bones]

A frog or a cricket? I thought I heard, like, a cricket or something.

[Mike]

I heard a frog, I guess. I don't know what makes that sound. Sounds like we're by a creek.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a frog or, like a cricket? I heard like a cricket.

[Amy]

It sounded like a frog.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was a frog.

[Amy]

This is like that. That's a frog.

[Mike]

What is happening here?

[Bobby Bones]

What's happening here?

[Amy]

Is there a frog in here?

[Mike]

I thought that was Ray. Are you hitting a button?

[Bobby Bones]

Ray, is that a button? No. Not really a funny joke to do that.

[Amy]

Yeah. Ray's like, I would never.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, are you hitting a button? No, no.

[Mike]

It's coming from where you're at.

[Bobby Bones]

All my stuff is.

[Amy]

No, I felt like it's coming from out there. And I'm over here by him.

[Bobby Bones]

Stop.

[Amy]

That's over there.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I heard it that time.

[Amy]

Mike has it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have it. Look, his hands are up.

[Mike]

Bobby, it's by you, dude.

[Amy]

Is it his phone?

[Bobby Bones]

His hands are up.

[Mike]

All my things are silenced.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I brought this on TikTok. It's his little dummy.

[Amy]

Oh, you did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, look.

[Mike]

Dude, that is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you push it, and if you just. No one knows, People start to look around for.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

Can you take that on the plane?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Amy]

I mean, no, you're gonna get the plane drowned. Because they're like, wildlife's on the plane.

[Bobby Bones]

They're gonna search us.

[Mike]

The captain comes out looking for the frog.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me this isn't hilarious. Here, listen to it again.

[Amy]

Wait, you bought that on TikTok?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was one of those nights where the world was my fingertips. And instead of learn more, I just bought this. And it's tiny. That's why you guys can see it, because I'm doing, like, a pinch.

[Amy]

Yeah, but when you had it down low, like, now we can hear where it's coming from.

[Mike]

That is amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but when you had it on each other, you all started. Ray Everybody started yelling at Ray, Mike's hands are up in the air. We turned into the comments section just like that. So.

[Mike]

So when you bought that, was it labeled a frog or a cricket?

[Bobby Bones]

I bought, like, three of them. I think that might be a frog.

[Mike]

Frog on top of that. It's gotta be a frog.

[Bobby Bones]

I bought a duck one, and I was chasing Stanley around with it.

[Mike]

Would he react to it?

[Bobby Bones]

He was just confused what it was like, us. He hated it. And then it broke. They're cheap. This was like four bucks.

[Mike]

I'm buying one. That's it. I'm buying one.

[Bobby Bones]

You can have this one. Really? What am I going to do with it?

[Mike]

I just take it on the plane?

[Bobby Bones]

No way, dude.

[Mike]

You can do that anywhere. Oh, my gosh. That would be so funny. A press conference would be hilarious. Anything would be hilarious. A restaurant. Watch the whole restaurant. Look around. Like, did you guys hear that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's pretty good, huh? It sounds pretty real.

[Mike]

It sounds very real.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's like four bucks. I'll put it down.

[Mike]

Sorry, Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just saying, as an audio guy, I never mess with audio and play tricks like that. You want people to.

[Mike]

I thought because we were talking about wildlife, maybe you like sound effects.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, got it. Like, right now, you can't even see it. But if I were talking and it's like, from afar, sounds like something's kind of there. And then.

[Mike]

Amy, you thought it was on the other side.

[Amy]

I did, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I just walked into that leave story to kind of get into that. Figured. Thank you. Apparently, divorce rate is a myth. We hear it all the time from marriage skeptics. Half of all marriages end in divorce. But according to USA Today, that's actually not true at all. According to new USA Today data, divorce rates in the US have actually been declining since the 1980s. Not rising part of it too. Well, people are getting married later, so they're a little more mature, their brains are a little more developed. And that actually keeps divorces from happening. Because if you're older, smarter, wiser, you tend to not get married until you're more ready. Not that there aren't divorces that happen from that. But you got to think, 50 years ago you're 19 and not married. That's weird.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe. What's 50? Probably not 50 anymore.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, women didn't have a lot of, like, I think even 50 years ago, like, as a woman, if I wanted to get an apartment, I would have to have either a husband or my dad, like, co sign for me. Like, I couldn't do things 50 years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like 1975 is. That's why I stopped to go. Maybe it's like 1960. Oh, because we're getting older.

[Mike]

50 years ago is 75.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I. 50 years.

[Amy]

85. 95. 05. 15, 25.

[Mike]

Oh, my goodness, he's right.

[Amy]

I do use my fingers.

[Mike]

Crazy.

[Amy]

But I. I wonder what year. Hold on, let me Google. What year did women have to stop? Kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

I would just say how old in 1975 was the average woman to get.

[Amy]

Married sign on an apartment?

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you doing such a complicated.

[Amy]

Because I was. Because that's what's in my head.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll just ask my.

[Amy]

Oh, bam. Guess what, guys, Check this out. It's called the Equal Credit opportunity Act of 1974. Women in 1974 were officially no longer required by law to have a male relative cosign on an apartment. So, bam.

[Bobby Bones]

51 years. 51 years.

[Amy]

51. Okay, so I was one year old.

[Bobby Bones]

Right over the threshold, just as we thought.

[Amy]

But I mean, isn't that crazy to believe that in the 70s I would have had to have a male co sign A male relative.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask my question here.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hello. Good morning. I have a question for you. In 1970, what was the average age of the woman getting married? And then also 1980 and 1990. Good morning. Sure thing. Let's take a little time travel, dive into those numbers. So back in 1970, the average age for women getting married in the US was around 20 to 20, 21 years old. By the time we got to 1980, that it crept up to about 22 or so. And then in 1990, it was roughly around 23 to 24. Basically, each decade nudged that average up by a year or two as people started marrying a bit later. What about today? What's the average age of a woman getting married today? So as of right now, in 2025, the average age for women getting married in the US is about 28 and a half. So it's definitely crept up a few more years. Since the 90s. Would you do men in the same 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000, and today?

[Amy]

Absolutely. Let's run through the timeline for men as well.

[Bobby Bones]

So back in the 1970s, the average age for men getting married was roughly around 23 to 24. By the 1980s, that cracked up to about 25.

[Amy]

And then by the 1990s, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Around 26 or so. So fast forward to the 2000s, it hit around 27. And today in the 2000 and 20s, 2025ish. It's about 30 on average. So just like with women, the average age for men has steadily climbed each decade.

[Amy]

Let me know if you need any more details.

[Mike]

So same.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is why divorce rates are also lowering, because people are getting married later and most people are a little wiser as they get older. Like, they know what they want.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's all just idiots getting married young. I think it's. You don't even know who you are. Young.

[Amy]

Yeah. Your brain, I mean. And now we know. Back then we certainly didn't, but our brains don't even fully develop till 25.

[Mike]

But is that harder, too, to kind of adjust a little bit to, you know, when you're talking to your wife, your spouse, you kind of. You're like, give and take stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what you're asking.

[Mike]

It's kind of harder when you're older to, like, give up certain things because you've been doing things a certain way.

[Amy]

Sure.

[Mike]

So long.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Look at me. I was 39 or 40 when I got married. Right. So what do you. I don't understand the question.

[Mike]

So, like, I feel like it'd be harder to get married when you're older because you're set in your ways and you don't want to, like.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think that's a great point. I think, though, I wouldn't. I'd meet that with. Since you're set in your ways, you know what you want in your ways. Like, you're not. You're not. You're not going to grab something that's completely opposite of your ways, but it's.

[Mike]

Still a different person. Like, your spouse is always different than you. So there are things that you're gonna argue about, things that you don't agree on, and then you're like, oh, well, I am who I am. And when you're younger, you're just like, yeah, I guess I can kind of grow into that. And then slowly.

[Bobby Bones]

But I think if you're older, though, you're communicating about those things for the most part before you even get married.

[Mike]

True.

[Amy]

And then when you're older, hopefully you mature past I am who I am.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I've done that.

[Bobby Bones]

Some people. I'm wired this way. I'm me. You married me late. So. Yeah, yeah, I understand what you're saying, but I think the maturity allows you to express or show that you have wiring.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you probably come to terms with that before you get married because you're older.

[Mike]

Yeah, because I got married kind of young, and I just remember being like, no, I'm this way. But then slowly, like, yeah, that's not even important to me. And kind of mold into someone else. We kind of mold into what each other needs versus kind of like when we're older now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Even if I get married young and stay married as a couple, like say y' all are married 50 years, you're going to be married to a different wife. And being married to a different husband over and over again, it's like you're swinging, evolving.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like you're swinging with the same person.

[Amy]

With the same person. But it's how you evolve together.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And, yeah, I don't think you ever, regardless of how well adjusted you are, don't fight. Like, just having a relationship is difficult. Just being with somebody that much. It doesn't matter if it's a best friend, a roommate, a wife, for sure. Because the only person that I agree with all the time is you is me. And I'm stupid and I'm wrong a lot. So conflict is good. Conflict is needed. I don't know if it's good.

[Mike]

You never decide.

[Amy]

If it's needed, then it's. I mean, I think it's. It's healthy to have conflict. It's how you engage in the conflict. So you say it's needed. I guess we're kind of saying the same thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. In a perfect world, there will be no conflict. So I don't think conflict is inherently good, but I think because we are flawed beings, it is needed, so.

[Amy]

Well, for me, I mean, you'd rather a passive person may not. I understand. Like, I'm talking about in a relationship, the ability to go to someone and say, hey, this is how this made me feel, and engage in that. Because some people are very passive and choose not to and then build up resentment because they don't want conflict or they're very critical and there's a lot of criticism and there's no healthy conflict. So I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think your point is that people are flawed, but in a vacuum where there are no flaws, I don't think conflict is good because conflict is not good, generally speaking, all around the world.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, I thought we were just talking about relationships, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But even then, I don't think conflict is inherently good. In a vacuum, there would be no conflict, but there is conflict because we don't live in vacuums.

[Amy]

Well, I wasn't in a vacuum. Vacuum. I was just talking about, like, in our relationships. I think it's like, right now we're having good conversation. Conversation about.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's needed.

[Amy]

It's good. We can. Yeah, so it's needed.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think it's needed because people are screwed up.

[Amy]

So we're not going to assign a moral value to it. It's not good or bad, but it's needed. I'll give you.

[Bobby Bones]

I would accept that.

[Amy]

Okay. I can understand not wanting to assign something a moral value.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I would understand that.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It's needed because we're flawed.

[Amy]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't want to.

[Amy]

It also shows that you care either about yourself or about the other person. Like, if you're just sort of.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever just get in the mood to fight?

[Amy]

I don't know. Are you? Right now you do?

[Mike]

For sure.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like. It's like, you know, I really haven't been challenged in a while, so I'm just like, I'm looking for something.

[Amy]

I know.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But you can't pick on a person that's actually agreeing with you.

[Mike]

It's funny because, like, I remember in college there was a guy that, like, we'd be going out on Friday. He'd be like, man, I don't know. I just. To want to fight tonight. Like, that's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

But.

[Mike]

But you're kind of like that, but physically.

[Amy]

Yeah. I just need a verbal confrontation. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I just need to stretch out a little bit.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, really, really get into it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right, we gotta go. Thank you guys for listening to the show today. Thanks for listening to the podcast. Yeah, that's what's up. And we will see you guys tomorrow.

Hey, guys, it's Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero, and this is More Better. We are jumping right in and ready to hear from you. Your thoughts are your questions, your feelings about socks with sandals, and we're ready to share some possibly questionable advice and hot takes. God, that sucks so hard, though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you match their pettiness for funsies? Yeah, all the things. Because aren't we all trying to get a little more better?

Join me for conversations about healing and growth, all from one of my favorite spaces, the kitchen.
