[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today, people who switch their car insurance to Geico save about. About 900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Bobby]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Gecko Bobby Bone show. Let's talk money. This guy brought his sister's skeleton to the bank to prove she's dead.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby]

Because he needed the money in her bank account. And he's like, I don't know. They're not gonna believe me if I go and just be like, she's dead.

[Amy]

What about a death certificate?

[Bobby]

Didn't have that.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby]

His exhumed skeletal remains because he wanted the money in there. So that's from news there. That's. There are stories, though, where people fake, like, their relatives are dead and get the money. This guy wanted to prove without a shadow of a doubt she was dead. That his sister was dead. An Ohio woman won $150,000 with three identical lottery tickets in Toledo. She bought three tickets, same numbers. The $50,000 prize was hit. Boom, boom, boom three times. She won $150,000. That is not diversifying. That's all your eggs in one basket. And man, that basket hit the winner said her prize money will go toward paying bills and saving for the Future. That's from UPI.com lunchbox. You still consistent with the lottery?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. I'm still on the lottery train. Still not winning anything. Still trying to figure out how I'm supposed to win. I may need to go for these smaller pots, like the pick three, like these people are doing, because there seems to be these stories about people winning three, four times. You know, just pick the same numbers and win that drawing here to pick three numbers and six.

[Bobby]

Yeah. More people win the smaller pods, you're going to win a smaller pot. Yeah, but to me, it's always funny when people go, you know What? It's at 500 million now. I'm in like. Like, 250 million wasn't good enough for you.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Speaking of money and an all money theme segment, the cast of Friends, their residuals still around 20 million a year.

[Friend/Co-host]

Gosh.

[Amy]

From, like, TBS and just in general,

[Bobby]

all over the world.

[Friend/Co-host]

Streaming.

[Bobby]

Netflix, you don't really make money from streaming. That's the bad part about streaming is nothing goes into syndication. There are no residuals.

[Amy]

But do they have to buy the rights to air it?

[Bobby]

Yeah, but if you don't own the right. You may get like a one time payment, but it's not the same. And that's why people like these actors are complaining now, because nothing goes into syndication anymore. So they're not making residuals off of shows that they're stuck to for a long time. Lisa Kudrow said that they make around $20 million a year in residuals. She actually didn't watch the show until after Matthew Perry passed. And she was able to rewatch it and appreciate it.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby]

But they, in season one, but this is way back in the day, earned 22,000 an episode. Not a bad week's work. By seasons nine and ten, they were making a million bucks per episode. And now they're making 20 million a year. Just if I made 20 million a year doing nothing, I'd be like Courtney Cox and playing drums on TikTok all day too. That's all I'd be doing. I just at home, like, turn the camera on, record me playing drums. I got 20 million coming in. No problem. Other money news, Disneyland's fine dining restaurant Napa Rose is under fire from disgruntled diners who claim the place is serving up mid food despite charging a ton of money. A meal of 5 or 4 or 51200 bucks.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby]

Yeah, but you're talking about a really expensive place. I've never been here here, but that's what, 250 bucks a person? And at Disneyland, Eddie was saying he took his kids to a normal part of Disney World.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, it was, it was a dinner with the Beast or whatever. And it was like $60 a plate.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah, but that's not $1200 still.

[Friend/Co-host]

And the Beast didn't even sit neat with us.

[Bobby]

That's like kids food for family.

[Friend/Co-host]

Correct.

[Amy]

Was it mid tasting or good?

[Friend/Co-host]

It was. I don't even remember the meal. And I was so mad that the Beast didn't even sit with us.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I'd be irritated if the Beast didn't like, have a bite.

[Friend/Co-host]

And then they wanted to charge our baby who was asleep in the stroller. And like, he's in the building, so we gotta charge him 60 bucks a plate.

[Amy]

No way.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Did they?

[Friend/Co-host]

No. I was like, he's sleeping. He's not going to eat.

[Bobby]

Did you slide him some though on that later? Disneyland's upscale Napa Rose is facing backlash. Scuba. Ever been to Napa Rose?

[Scuba]

Oh, yeah, dude. I've been in there a couple times.

[Bobby]

Thoughts?

[Scuba]

I mean, I feel like you're going to Disney. You already know you're going to be spending a lot more money than a normal restaurant. And when you do character dining, they do charge a little bit more. Like at. Eddie mentioned about that. Whatever it was you went to with the Beast, I mean, I feel like it was fine. I've been there a couple of times. I enjoyed it. I haven't had any bad experience with Disney and especially their food. Their culinary experience is freaking exquisite.

[Bobby]

I've been. It was awesome too. But yeah, you know, when you go. It's a bit elevated, but so that. This is a fine dining restaurant and you probably get wine and stuff at a fine dining place. Yes.

[Scuba]

And it's really good. And it's in the hotel that's attached to the theme park, so it's in a cool spot. You're also paying for the location. So I feel like it's been fine.

[Bobby]

New York Post with a story. You know what? Justice for the Napa Rose. It's expensive. I never been there. But I ain't going into a fine dining place at Disney without.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Probably knowing what I'm getting myself into.

[Amy]

You should expect it.

[Bobby]

Also, gas has hit a four year high. 416 national average.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah. We're over four bucks here, for sure.

[Amy]

Yeah. Diesel's at six.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yikes.

[Bobby]

The people that put the diesel on their rental car.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Friend/Co-host]

That's not possible.

[Bobby]

Well, it's possible to put anything in the car.

[Friend/Co-host]

No. Because I tried to do it, but the handle is. Or the spout is bigger for the diesel, so it doesn't fit in your car. And they do that for a reason. So you don't do that.

[Amy]

That's interesting.

[Bobby]

I just thought there were different colors on the handle.

[Friend/Co-host]

They are. They're green, too.

[Bobby]

Okay. So Kelly and Catherine Graves returned from a road trip, found that their Enterprise rental car bill was $9,500. And so they're going, that's almost the car. And the bill was because the car wouldn't start. So it turns out there is a fuel stop at the airport right before it, the last one. And it looks like diesel had been used.

[Amy]

Huh. Maybe they were able to squeeze it in.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, Maybe they forced it in there.

[Bobby]

Maybe. Or some commenters are saying that this could also be a scam, that they could just say, I'm telling you, this is too big to be a scam. If you're gonna scam somebody, you got to scan a bunch of people for 200 bucks. You don't scam one person for $9,500.

[Friend/Co-host]

The price of the whole car.

[Bobby]

That's a terrible Scam. Yeah. You just go, no, I'm not paying that. But yeah.

[Amy]

Then I'm searching for footage of me at the gas station filling up my car and showing that I used unleaded.

[Bobby]

That's from CBC. But, yeah, they got a $9,500 bill. You're wondering, like, we filled up, like, how much are they going to charge us for gas?

[Friend/Co-host]

Gas is high.

[Bobby]

It's four year higher on the Bobby Bone Show. That's crazy. What do you think you waste or spend the most money on? Well, that's not like a mortgage payment. That's not like something you have to spend money on.

[Amy]

I mean, the ease of delivery.

[Bobby]

Food delivery.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Uber Eats, Doordash. Absolutely. That's. I bet you if they did a top 10 in town, we'd be up there. It would be in that top ten.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because you. You are wasting a lot of money. Now, is it convenient? Absolutely. But are they marking up the item of the food and then you're paying a delivery fee and then you're tipping.

[Bobby]

I mean, well, then you're doing priority, which is like $2 more. And now they have super priority with a lightning bolt. And I'm like, I gotta have that.

[Amy]

Yeah. That one's 4.99.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I want to be better than the priority.

[Amy]

You can get 2.99 in the next three hours, but if you want it in the next, like, two hours.

[Bobby]

Two hours. Where are you ordering for the next two hours?

[Amy]

Well, sometimes Amazon will send you stuff for four.

[Bobby]

Amazon.

[Amy]

I'm just talking about all delivery platforms.

[Bobby]

Got it. That's.

[Amy]

Oh, I diversify. Sometimes I do doordash. Sometimes I do Amazon. Sometimes I do.

[Bobby]

You order food from Amazon, you can

[Amy]

get groceries, but not food.

[Guest]

Food.

[Friend/Co-host]

Like hot food.

[Amy]

Yeah. Not like Chipotle.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Amy]

But I alternate between Uber Eats and Doordash, because sometimes they've got deals, depending on which one you go to. And obviously, Double lightning Bolt, obviously. I want the free $50 Cilantro Ranch to come with my meal because I'm spending an extra $10 having it delivered to my house. Like, sometimes I'm like, why am I doing this? Why am I going through all this effort for a free, free side of Cilantro Ranch? They will give it to you if. As long as you spend $20.

[Bobby]

Where do you spend the most money? Probably you don't need to.

[Friend/Co-host]

Probably.

[Bobby]

Movie rentals, like online.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah. Prime video subscriptions. I'm a sucker for all those. And my kids, they want to watch a Movie. They just click a button and they have it, and it's like $4 a pop.

[Bobby]

Do they ever do it when you're not around?

[Friend/Co-host]

Oh, yeah, all the time.

[Bobby]

Do they have free reign to the.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, all the TVs are kind of set up now to where you just click and it. It goes.

[Bobby]

No, no, no. Do they have free reign, though, to buy without asking?

[Friend/Co-host]

They don't, but they do.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, they don't have. They don't have permission to do it, but they do it all the time.

[Bobby]

Lunchbox. What are you spending money on?

[Eddie]

Lottery tickets? Oh, yeah, that would be my number one. I mean, I. You guys talking about UberEats? That is, like, a foreign concept to me.

[Bobby]

I don't do that.

[Amy]

You never waste money on that.

[Bobby]

That's not even about UberEats. That's about apps.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, that's true. It's about apps. Like, I just. I don't do apps, and I. The money. I would rather drive to the restaurant and pick it up.

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me. I go that. For sure, it's food delivery. But if you already have that, probably, like, razorback sports, like, donating money there.

[Amy]

Oh, donating.

[Bobby]

But it's just sports, though.

[Amy]

It's not like me. Same. Same tithing.

[Bobby]

No, it's. No, it's not a good. I'm literally donating to. We can have better teams. It's not for charity.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, your own little version of charity.

[Bobby]

Although I think we're about to slow that down.

[Amy]

What do you mean? Like, you are or the program?

[Bobby]

I think I am about to slow that down.

[Amy]

Why? I don't think so.

[Bobby]

I'm telling you, I dump buckets into, like, that. I don't even get, like, a text or anything.

[Amy]

Like, where do you think there's one

[Bobby]

person at the University of Arkansas, Quinn, who hits me up, who works there, but it's like, they're, like, cutting programs and stuff. And, like, we don't have enough money for stuff. And I'm like, where's all my money going? I can't even get, like, a text from the athletic director.

[Amy]

Well, so maybe you should get some itemized breakdown of how they're spending the donations.

[Friend/Co-host]

Do they do that?

[Amy]

Well, I remember seeing a commercial on some sports thing that, you know, I don't know if it's University of Texas or somewhere. Was spending a bunch of money on, like, the state, this. The plants that go by the stairs. And I'm like, what?

[Bobby]

Oh, yeah, we did that on this show. I'm like, balloons. We Talked about.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, there's balloons.

[Bobby]

I don't care if I just want to feel involved. Like I don't mind giving money to the football or basketball or softball. I feel involved in softball. My bro, my brother in law is the hitting coach.

[Friend/Co-host]

If you guys were to win a championship, would you give more?

[Bobby]

I would give more. I gave more. Last year we got a new coach. I never heard from the new coach. And like I give enough. I should get it from the new coach. You know what I mean? But I didn't know. I don't trigger me. You guys have triggered me.

[Amy]

But like, do you know where you fall in the. Like, I know.

[Bobby]

Over the last three or four years.

[Amy]

No, no, no, but I know. Do you know, like.

[Bobby]

No, I don't ask that. Like, give me itemized list. Itemized list.

[Amy]

No, no. Well, because it's like maybe the coach calls. Maybe you need a nose. That way you. You up it for sure.

[Friend/Co-host]

He calls the Tyson chicken guy.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I don't do that. This is how much in the past few years I've donated.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Bobby]

Do you think you get, I don't know, like a care package?

[Friend/Co-host]

Amy, is that more or less than what we spend on movies and Ubereats?

[Amy]

Significantly more.

[Friend/Co-host]

All right, just checking.

[Bobby]

I think I'm gonna pour that into Ubereats though, now that I think about it. I need that. What?

[Amy]

Nothing.

[Bobby]

Is that more than you thought?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Good.

[Friend/Co-host]

Are you going to throw up?

[Amy]

No, no. Hey, good for. Good for. Good for you.

[Bobby]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Amy]

I just feel like you're. You're still going to probably.

[Bobby]

It's. It's like other than my wife and kids and dogs. It's like in arguable with the dogs. It's like the most important thing. Like razorback sports, what I grew up with.

[Amy]

Yes, it must.

[Bobby]

It's my. It's my only constant.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Okay. Everybody good on money?

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, we're fine.

[Bobby]

All right. All right. You know, it looks appealing to me.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby]

I'm intrigued by it. Those Zen patches.

[Amy]

Ew, why? You mean the ones that go in your mouth?

[Bobby]

I just am intrigued by a pop of energy.

[Amy]

Okay. I would call them. Is it a pouch or a patch?

[Bobby]

I think it's a pouch.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Friend/Co-host]

What?

[Amy]

I call it a patch.

[Bobby]

I'm an idiot. Okay. See, if there was new ones, because

[Amy]

there are patches people put on their body.

[Bobby]

You're right.

[Amy]

But the Zen ones, they go in the mouth and then.

[Friend/Co-host]

Is it like dip?

[Amy]

Kind of. But contained in a pouch.

[Bobby]

But it's not tobacco.

[Amy]

It's Nicotine. Right.

[Bobby]

It's only nicotine.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And I'd rather not be addicted to nicotine. But if you listen to like, Tucker Carlson, he's like, nicotine ain't bad. It's actually good for you. And that's my Dr. Tucker Carlson.

[Amy]

Yeah. Okay.

[Bobby]

And I don't. I'm not diving in, but that is interesting to me because I wonder if you were to, in a vacuum, do caffeine and nicotine, if in a different world, could caffeine be the one that people were like, but nicotine not be? Was it only a timing thing or a discovery thing or a lobbyist type thing? Because that's the only reason marijuana and alcohol are different. There was just a decision made. One's good, one's bad. Heck, though, for a while when prohibition was happening, alcohol was bad.

[Amy]

Well, I think, yeah, one's good, one's bad. Or they made one legal and one.

[Bobby]

That's what I'm saying, like to the

[Amy]

public, because to some people, they're, they're, they're all bad.

[Bobby]

But it's legal, so it's not as bad.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know, but they say alcohol take one sip. Cancer.

[Bobby]

Now, now there was a decision that had to be made at one point to legalize or not legalize. And it's all, it's all money. So I've never smoked weed, but it would make sense to me that that would be the one that you would legalize simply because it does come from the ground, natural.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Where with alcohol you're having to slip, slide it all together, patch it all up, get it, put it in the. So I just want the nicotine and caffeine thing. Both. Probably not the best for you.

[Friend/Co-host]

What does nicotine do for you? I know caffeine gives you energy, right? People do caffeine for you.

[Amy]

Well, nicotine's natural. Keep you awake as well.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So like whenever my ex husband, he. Zen, wasn't around, I don't think then. But I never knew. We'd been married for a long time and he was an Air Force pilot and I was cleaning out his flight suit one day and I pulled out a can of Bip or Skull or whatever, those little. And I was so mad, I started printing off pictures from the Internet of people missing half their jaw cause cancer. And then he got home and I was like, what is this? And then he explained to me, he's like, hey, look, this is just the nature of our business. He goes, sometimes we have long flights and most of us pilots, we put dip in to help keep us alert and keep. So either that was just his excuse.

[Bobby]

I bet it's rooted in that.

[Amy]

It's root. Yeah. Because a lot of the pilots. He wasn't throwing other people under the bus. He's like, legit. We all do it. And so I'm like, okay, fine. If this is about keeping you safe when you're at war.

[Bobby]

Well, I mean, safe. That's a whole. That's funny. It protects me from the bad guys.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I'm like, okay, so you're gonna stay awake flying, but one day you're gonna be missing half. But I don't know that, so. But that had the other chemicals or stuff.

[Bobby]

And it tastes to me. I don't want to have to spit. I don't want the tobacco stuff. That all that's bad. Like, beer seems like it tastes bad, but, like, I have friends who will put a Zen in, and they. They don't taste like anything.

[Amy]

Yeah. And they go out and they feel great.

[Friend/Co-host]

I think Ray does Zen.

[Bobby]

Ray was doing caffeine vapes. Remember that?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

You see smoke coming out of his mouth, and we're like, right.

[Amy]

You can't.

[Bobby]

It's like, no, it's just caffeine. Ray, do you do Zen? No, I don't do the nicotine. I do the. There's energy ones now with that. Give you the caffeine. But yeah, the nicotine. I haven't done the ones I've done. The zins make me throw up.

[Amy]

See, that's what I'm scared of, because some girls even Zen. But I don't want to get nauseous.

[Friend/Co-host]

So is it the same as dip when if you swallow it, you throw up?

[Bobby]

No, the thing with dip is it's all the stuff in the dip.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay.

[Bobby]

It's in your spit.

[Amy]

Yeah. With the Zen, you don't have to spit.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Friend/Co-host]

So what's making you throw up?

[Bobby]

Because probably the. The elevated amount of nicotine. Right.

[Amy]

I don't know the other stuff that's in there.

[Bobby]

Let's do it. We'll spin the wheel. I'm surprised Scuba hasn't tried, like, it.

[Amy]

Like, I'm surprised out of everybody here on the show, nobody's zinned before.

[Friend/Co-host]

No, I don't Zen, but I used

[Scuba]

to dip, and dip would make me. My head spin. And I. I threw up once, and so I gave up on it. But then I smoked cigarettes for a while too, and then I graduated to marijuana.

[Bobby]

But that. But that's the other way drug. That's the other. I'm not the thing that's appealing to me.

[Friend/Co-host]

I'm.

[Bobby]

I'm ill educated in it. Is that it just seems like that goes in. You just get the benefit of the nicotine without having to deal with all the tobacco and the bad taste and the messed up teeth.

[Friend/Co-host]

Skip all that.

[Bobby]

The jaw missing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Right. So that's all it's been on my mind. I'm not going to do it.

[Friend/Co-host]

What about a cigar?

[Bobby]

Why don't you Disgusting.

[Friend/Co-host]

Start like just sucking on a cigar.

[Amy]

Eddie made me smell a cigar.

[Bobby]

Tobacco to me just smells disgusting in general.

[Friend/Co-host]

Dude. This cigar that a listener gave me and Ray smells so good.

[Amy]

It doesn't.

[Friend/Co-host]

It's called a key lime cigar.

[Bobby]

I'm sure it still smells cigar though. It does, yeah. And that. That doesn't sound good to me.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, Amy didn't like it.

[Bobby]

I'm going to say anything positive about nicotine by itself. Let's see. There are a few positives, but they're limited and they come with trade offs. Number one, cognitive boost. Can improve attention, focus and reaction time. Mildly enhances working memory. That's why some people feel sharper after. Nicotine gum pouch, et cetera. Appetite suppression. Reduces hunger signals, mood regulation, but temporary can reduce anxiety and increase dopamine. All that to me sounds like stuff. I need positive neuroprotective research. Some studies suggest lower rates of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Very correlation heavy, though not a recommendation. It's highly addictive. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances we know. Your brain quickly rewires baseline dopamine levels. What feels like a boost becomes your new normal. Sleep disruption, cardiovascular strain, diminishing returns. Honest bottom line. It's a short term performance enhancer that turns into a long term dependency tax. It's not useless, but it's also not free. Then it says for you specifically because I always enter in my information into this thing. For your sleep struggles, for your sensitivity to heart rate spikes, for your concern about addiction, I would not recommend using nicotine as a tool. It checks almost every box of things you're actively trying to avoid.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's probably not a good idea

[Bobby]

if you're chasing the same upside. Which that's why it's appealing to me is that upside at the beginning. I can give you alternatives that hit similar pathways without the addiction or sleep downside.

[Amy]

All right, let's hear those.

[Bobby]

Okay, Say let's hear those.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, it's gonna be like work out, go for a walk, do stuff.

[Bobby]

Meditation, the woods.

[Friend/Co-host]

I want to do all that.

[Bobby]

Breathe Number one, somebody says the gate. Hold on. I don't. I just let somebody in. I don't even know who I just let in. But I'm in the middle of a segment. You know, clean focus stack, no crash or dependency. Oh, it's caffeine plus. You may know what this is. I don't. L. Theanine. Oh, yeah, Is that how you say it? 75 to 100 milligrams of caffeine and 100200 milligrams of L theanine. It smooths out jitters. Why? It works. Caffeine and then L. Theanine is calm. Alpha brainwaves.

[Friend/Co-host]

Is that what's in.

[Amy]

I feel like I have my monster.

[Bobby]

Yeah, they literally just put monster on.

[Friend/Co-host]

Pretty much.

[Bobby]

That's funny.

[Amy]

L. Theanine is in my nighttime concoction.

[Bobby]

Because it is. That's. Yeah, that's not a upper. Yeah, the caffeine's the upper. I think it does calm.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Because. Calms alpha brain waves, which for me, I have like a bit of neurosis, obviously.

[Amy]

Yeah. So maybe you. Maybe I should give you some of my nighttime cocoa.

[Bobby]

That feels like evening cocaine when she says that. That feels like party time. If you like some nighttime cocoa.

[Amy]

To be honest, that we're transitioning into warmer weather. So the cocoa's going to the side and I'm back to my magnesium.

[Bobby]

Yeah, magnesium doesn't do well.

[Amy]

No, no magnesium.

[Bobby]

Oh, okay.

[Friend/Co-host]

Is that a drink?

[Amy]

It's the brand.

[Bobby]

The fastest nervous system reset that you're not using is apparently the physiological sigh it takes 60 seconds. Inhale through nose. Quick second inhale on top. Long slow exhale through mouth. Repeat five to eight times. This is that bull crap we're talking about.

[Amy]

No, no, no. I think you're accessing the pineal gland when you do that.

[Bobby]

Trust me, the pineal gland is covered up.

[Amy]

No, it's.

[Bobby]

Until it's time for nighttime cocoa.

[Amy]

It's up here. It's up here at the.

[Bobby]

They shouldn't call it the pineal gland then. No, I'd make a change to the old

[Amy]

one time. I think I made Caitlin. I mean, I didn't make her. We both did it for fun. Like a five minute breathing thing. I think she was like, I think I'm about to pass out. I was like, that means we're doing it right.

[Bobby]

We're doing it right.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

There's a two minute lock in rule. Set a timer for two minutes. Do one task only. No switching. Your brain exits dopamine seeking mode. See a lot of this is just like natural stuff you gotta chase if you want a supplement angle. Rhodiola rosea.

[Amy]

I don't know that one

[Friend/Co-host]

all day.

[Bobby]

No, I think it's a light stimulant. Magnesium, glycinate. I have magnesium.

[Amy]

Yeah, but do you have glycinate? There's different kinds.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

But I do have it. I've ordered whatever it told me to order. Creatine.

[Amy]

I mean, they say there's a lot of cognitive benefits to that, but you have to take. I have heard from people online at least 10 milligrams and I don't want to take that much. I was on creatine for a little bit. Honestly, I didn't notice. So I got off of it.

[Bobby]

To me, I felt a little puffy on it. Because it's water in your muscles.

[Amy]

Yes. And you need to drink tons of water. Here's the thing I have heard from my doctor about. Creatine is so many people are supplementing with it right now because it's a big, big everywhere, every. And you must drink so much water when you're on it or it's going to damage your kidneys. And I was not drinking enough water to even be on it. And I wasn't getting the cognitive benefits. And then through food, I can also get creatine for my muscles. So I was like, ah, forget it. I'm not supplementing it anymore. I'm out.

[Bobby]

I think I did create it a little bit in high school. I played high school football. They had us all on it back in the day. Day.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby]

I'm sure it was a different, less matured, understood version because that's forever ago. Yeah, but yeah, I guess I'm just gonna go with like Eddie said, that the healthy monster.

[Friend/Co-host]

Let's just do a monster energy drink, man. Good

[Amy]

So me and my wife are currently in the emergency room, and she has acute appendicitis. She's supposed to go to Germany on Saturday. So do we push off the surgery so she can go to Germany with the risk of the appendix busting, or do we do antibiotics and hope for the best? Thanks, guys. There's no way you go.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no. Because when you're in an airplane, everything expands. Like, isn't that a given? It might bust.

[Bobby]

And you don't want to be in a foreign country and have it happen. And you're in a hospital where you don't even speak the language.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby]

So, yes, your point. Absolutely valid. Second point is, you're in Germany. They're all running around going. And you're in the hospital, and you don't even know what's going on. So, no.

[Friend/Co-host]

What's the doctor saying? Like, I don't ask.

[Bobby]

Now he's calling us. Where are the people to call?

[Amy]

I guess the doctor maybe said one option is take antibiotics and hope for the best, but I think we postpone the trip. It's very unfortunate, but this could be life or death. I don't know much about appendix busting.

[Bobby]

You don't hope for the best. You stay home and you make yourself the best. And then if you can, you reschedule.

[Amy]

Like, Also, if you're 30,000ft and over the ocean, like, what are you gonna do if something happens that's scary or you land and then you're in another country where then you have to find, like, the U.S. embassy. I'd be scared.

[Bobby]

They're not gonna put you in jail. You're just gonna be in a hospital where they don't speak English.

[Friend/Co-host]

If you're sick, you go to the embassy.

[Bobby]

No, you go to the hospital. You go to the doctor. You're not in Yemen.

[Amy]

Okay? True, true. I guess you go to the hospital. But then I would feel like, I don't know, is there a base or something? Because I would want somebody that speaks English. I'm sure a lot of the German doctors do speak English anyways, so you're probably fine.

[Bobby]

But my experience has been most people in Europe speak English. Yeah, but you can't bet on it. But then don't go.

[Amy]

Do you get primary care? Like, I don't know. What's the health care over there? Do you. Is there a line? Like, I don't think we do. You show up and they're like, oh, American with a busted appendix. We'll take you right now. Because there's other people.

[Bobby]

I would think, if it were an emergency. It's the same type of situation here, okay? Like if you show up and it's not an emergency, you sit in the room for a long time. If it's a real emergency, you go right through. But if it's something like a broken finger or something, you'll sit there for hours sometimes. Ray, give me number five.

[Amy]

I'm just wondering about this tipping situation. Do you ever tip a seamstress that does a hem on your pants or takes in a dress to make it fit you better? I'm just wondering because I am a seamstress and I do lots and lots of alterations and I very seldom get a tip.

[Bobby]

Maybe I should just go up on my prices. Bye.

[Amy]

Bye.

[Bobby]

I think the general rule is if you were doing your own business and you're getting paid for your own work and the company's not taking the money, like you don't get tipped because you're make, you're creating what your price is.

[Amy]

I literally just picked up a dress that was altered and I just paid what she told me.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but if it's her.

[Amy]

But it's just her.

[Bobby]

If she's doing her business, there is no tip needed because all that money's going to her. She can charge whatever she wants. If you're working at a company and they're making a massive part of it, that's different. So generally speaking, I think that's the rule. And also so many jobs that are service jobs, we're not taught to tip. If there's not a tip line, we don't even think about tipping. Sometimes you wonder, is it awkward if I try to tip them like movers? I tip them because I've been taught if you have a mover, give them 20 bucks, 50 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever you got right. Somebody that, like, fixes my pants. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. And I have somebody that will do that. Sometimes I have like a show or something I have to do. I've never tipped her because she gets to create her own price and she gets all that money. Like she's saying what the accurate market value is.

[Friend/Co-host]

So the streamsters, Streamstress. Seamstress, Seamstress at the department store, do they work for the department store or do they work for themselves?

[Bobby]

I don't know the answer to that. I would assume. Well, at Nordstrom, where I've had to get closed before,

[Amy]

Sometimes it comes with complimentary hemming, I feel.

[Bobby]

Really? So then that means.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay, so they work for the company.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but I. I don't think they're fully on, like, the Nordstrom payroll, so.

[Friend/Co-host]

So do you ask them? Because, like, to your point, like, I kind of want to ask them, like, hey, do you work for yourself or do you work for Nordstrom?

[Amy]

I feel like they work for Nordstrom.

[Bobby]

You think Nordstrom has a full time.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

I don't.

[Amy]

Let's call and find out.

[Bobby]

I could be wrong, but anytime that I've had to use them, they're saying like, hey, our. Our seamstress. And if you're a dude, are you a seamster?

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, because the one I is a dude. The one I've seen is he.

[Amy]

He's a tailor.

[Friend/Co-host]

Oh, that's it. A tailor.

[Bobby]

But can a woman be a tailor?

[Amy]

Sure.

[Bobby]

A seamstress. Just like.

[Amy]

Like a stewardess?

[Bobby]

Flight attendant?

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Bobby]

Okay, my answer is on this. I just raise your price if you're getting to charge. But yeah, with the Nordstrom thing, they're always like, yeah, our seamstress or our tailor is only here from 2 to 3:30 today.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby]

Which I feel like if that's the case, they don't have a full time. It's just somebody that they're paying to come in. Yeah, everyone's hourly.

[Amy]

True.

[Bobby]

Yeah. But I don't know the answer to that. Since they work for the company, they're hired by Nordstrom. And why are they only in an hour a day? That's Monday.

[Friend/Co-host]

Right.

[Bobby]

Question.

[Friend/Co-host]

What's he. What's he doing and why?

[Amy]

Well, they're sewing the other time. I think they can't come up and pin you because they're sewing.

[Friend/Co-host]

Well, they're not sewing there.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think they're sewing there, but they can't pause there if they've got stuff they need to sew. They can't be hemming people or, you know, measuring people all the time.

[Bobby]

You definitely could be right. I'm not committed to being right in this one. But they're only there for like an hour and a half or two hours to be able to do it. So maybe that's why. Maybe they're in the back working away.

[Amy]

That's there.

[Bobby]

Oh, no. Okay. We do. We think we answered that.

[Amy]

Good. Yeah, I think we told her. She said, maybe I'll just raise my prices. And I think that's the answer. If you need. If you think you should be getting more, then I would just raise your Price, especially if people aren't really tipping.

[Bobby]

All right, you want to go?

[Amy]

Yeah. So Uber is going to add hotels to their app. I saw the CEO of Uber did an interview with Mo News, and you know, you already. He's like, look, when you land at the airport, you pull up Uber right away. Now when you land, you can pull it up, book a car, book a hotel. They want it to be like the one stop shop, because now there's Uber Eats. You can order food, you can order a car. Now you can order a hotel. What's next? Book flights. They want to be like the app that you go to for everything.

[Bobby]

For me, I like it.

[Amy]

Yeah. They're partnering with, like, Expedia. I mean, they'll go with like, some of these other outlets that are already booking you flights and hotels, but hotel is the next thing. I phase of their rollout of, like, world domination.

[Bobby]

Because you can Airbnb on an app, which we do a lot of times if we Airbnb, so it makes sense. You could Uber on a nap.

[Friend/Co-host]

It's gonna be an adjustment too, because Uber for me is so last minute. Like, oh, I just landed. I need a ride. It's so, like, I don't. I'm not last minute with a hotel or like a rental car.

[Bobby]

Maybe you're not last minute with ordering food because you don't need a. You need food in 45 minutes.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, no, I'm saying like a hotel.

[Amy]

You would just get into the habit of like, oh, I need to book a hotel. Uber.

[Friend/Co-host]

And then you go there, but for like, next month.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you just pull up Uber and do it.

[Friend/Co-host]

It's just a hard transition because Uber to me is just like, oh, pull it up. I need a car now.

[Bobby]

I bet you can handle it.

[Amy]

You'll get there.

[Bobby]

I bet the next time you get a hotel, if it's on an Uber,

[Amy]

it's really like, you try it once and then you're like, okay, that's easy. Because then it's like less apps. I mean, who knows? Who knows? That's it's their next phase. It may not work, but it probably will.

[Bobby]

I bet it will. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, because they've got. Right now, I just pulled it up. They've got Uber Eats, Courier, and Shops. So then they just add another tab. Uber Shops, Uber Shop.

[Bobby]

What's that?

[Amy]

They will shop groceries for you. You can. They can go to Sprouts, Kroger, Aldi, cvs, Costco.

[Bobby]

Oh, that's already in my Uber Eats.

[Amy]

And then courier. You can just send and receive. So you can have someone come pick up an envelope from you from Uber and deliver it to someone else.

[Friend/Co-host]

They got that from us.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, we did that.

[Bobby]

No, I hate that bit. They run my Uber rating, but that's actually.

[Amy]

It wasn't courier, though. We were calling like an Uber ride for a human and putting a crock pot in.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, all kinds of things. Snake in a box.

[Bobby]

Hilarious bit, but killed my Uber rating. I couldn't even get like a nice car for like six months.

[Amy]

They. They'll do package returns for you.

[Bobby]

We'd be like, hey, I'm. I don't need the ride, but I got this box with a snake in it. Would you mind taking it across town?

[Friend/Co-host]

So funny.

[Bobby]

What a stupid idea. That's. Interesting story.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Thank you for it.

[Amy]

You're welcome.

[Bobby]

Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

There was a guy watching Monday Night Football back in December when the Giants were playing and the kicker missed a field goal at the end of the game and he starts laughing. He has a seizure because of. He's laughing. He's laughing so hard. He's rushed to the hospital and they found a tennis ball sized tumor on his brain. He said, that missed field goal saved my life.

[Bobby]

Because he wouldn't have laughed so hard, which wouldn't have put him into the seizure, which wouldn't have taken him to the hospital, which wouldn't have led to them finding the tumor.

[Eddie]

Right. And so they removed it and it was benign. So he was at home a couple days later.

[Friend/Co-host]

Wow, that's cool.

[Bobby]

That's why, Eddie, you should go to the doctor. This is a bit. But your testosterone is so low.

[Amy]

So low.

[Bobby]

So low.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay.

[Eddie]

How low can you go?

[Bobby]

You're basically playing

[Friend/Co-host]

Russian roulette.

[Bobby]

No chicken, no limbo, Limbo, limbo.

[Friend/Co-host]

With my. With my tea.

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah. It goes lower. Thank you. It goes lower and lower. So go.

[Friend/Co-host]

I know, but Amy said it could

[Bobby]

lead to something else, though. Your testosterone is so low.

[Friend/Co-host]

It's not that low.

[Bobby]

It is.

[Friend/Co-host]

And it's low T. It's not extremely

[Bobby]

low, but something in your body could be wrong that's making that T so low. It's lowercase T. I wonder where I

[Friend/Co-host]

compare with people my age. Like, is this average for people my age?

[Bobby]

Because.

[Friend/Co-host]

Lunchbox. Three years younger than me. Like two. Two years younger than me. So that. That checks.

[Bobby]

No, it does.

[Friend/Co-host]

In two years, he's going to be like, I got low T. What's average

[Bobby]

testosterone? How old are you?

[Friend/Co-host]

47.

[Bobby]

47 year old, man. It's. It's such a massive. It goes up to 916. So.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, that's like a bodybuilder, I'm sure. Low, average. Low.

[Bobby]

Low normal is 264 to 300. That's low. Low, normal. It's edging. No, it's low, but it's edging toward normal. Low, slack, but I think you're below that.

[Friend/Co-host]

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm above that.

[Bobby]

No, you went lower today.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, but it was like 280. What was it?

[Eddie]

285.

[Geico Gecko]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So you're still low. Until you're 300, you're considered low.

[Friend/Co-host]

Oh, 300. Just a few points. Squats will take care of that.

[Bobby]

That was your second one. What was your first one?

[Eddie]

293.

[Bobby]

What was the second one?

[Friend/Co-host]

285.85.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, he dropped like in two days he dropped.

[Friend/Co-host]

I mean it could have been 300

[Bobby]

is a typical bottom threshold of. Of normal.

[Amy]

Oh, so you're below bottom.

[Bobby]

You're below the bottom. You're not normal.

[Friend/Co-host]

Is this average 47 year old man with four kids that. Don't listen to him.

[Bobby]

I didn't type all that in.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Oh, you're 47 man.

[Amy]

But, oh, don't forget, but has high

[Friend/Co-host]

libido and has high libido.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Friend/Co-host]

Put that in there if it's so high.

[Bobby]

Maybe that's the problem. Maybe you're sick somewhere else. Okay. So thank you. Let's go to lunchbox. Your story.

[Eddie]

I just. Kicker. The kicker.

[Bobby]

Oh, good one.

[Commercial Voice]

Got it.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's how it sounds. Yeah.

[Bobby]

Eddie.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah. So I have a list of the highest or I guess the richest artists. Do you guys want to guess who the richest? We'll start with country music. You know, the richest artist in country music is,

[Bobby]

I would guess, on the surface, Dolly.

[Friend/Co-host]

What does that mean, on the surface?

[Bobby]

Quick answer. On the surface of my brain before I put five minutes thought into it. I'm going to go Dolly.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, Dolly is the richest and according to the Internet, she has $675 million. Number two.

[Bobby]

It's never right.

[Friend/Co-host]

But number two and number three are close because I saw another list where they were swapped.

[Bobby]

Garth and Shania.

[Friend/Co-host]

Garth and Shania. And they're about 400 million. It says Shania is at 410 million, but who knows?

[Amy]

George Straits at what? 300.

[Friend/Co-host]

George Straits at 300 million.

[Bobby]

You see it?

[Amy]

Yeah, he. I keep tabs.

[Friend/Co-host]

And then. But, but the.

[Amy]

No, I didn't see this list.

[Bobby]

I just remember reading that's even weirder than, you know, that without seeing the list.

[Friend/Co-host]

Do you know the richest artists live in artists right now?

[Amy]

Like, all genre?

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, all genre.

[Bobby]

I think unfair question because we're probably not going to put Indian or Chinese artists into this.

[Friend/Co-host]

That's true. They're all. I believe they're all American or English or North America. Oh, yeah, And Brit and English.

[Bobby]

Paul McCartney would probably be my guess.

[Friend/Co-host]

He's not number one.

[Bobby]

Wow. Don't say, don't say. And they're alive.

[Friend/Co-host]

I'll say. Paul McCartney is at $1.3 billion.

[Bobby]

Okay. If that's the case, it could be like somebody like a Jay Z who's a billionaire.

[Friend/Co-host]

Jay Z is the richest, but.

[Bobby]

But that's not from music.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, I think it's just the richest artist.

[Bobby]

Got it, got it, got it, got it.

[Friend/Co-host]

At 2.2.5, $3 billion, it's Jay Z. Then after that, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen. At one point, $17 billion. That's crazy to me. That's a lot of money. Taylor Swift, then Paul McCartney.

[Bobby]

All billionaires.

[Friend/Co-host]

All billionaires.

[Bobby]

Dang.

[Friend/Co-host]

You're right, though. It's got to be so much stuff that's not music.

[Amy]

Yeah, Rihanna's.

[Bobby]

You can do it.

[Amy]

A lot of Rihanna's is her fenty beauty.

[Bobby]

A lot of Jay Z is a lot of different things. Alcohol, clothes. It's very much not just music, but all based from music. Like, you wouldn't have any of that if it wasn't for his music that made it famous. And then his business acumen allowed him to invest and create.

[Friend/Co-host]

It says here that Beyonce is at 1 billion. Okay, so are they together?

[Bobby]

Like, are they, like, their money separate? I'm sure. And so as a situationally, as a

[Friend/Co-host]

family, like, she has a billion and he has 2.4, 2.53. Like, that's so much money that they have. Oh, my gosh. What do you think their legal stuff is in their marriage? Like, are they. What is it called?

[Amy]

A prenup?

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, prenup, probably.

[Amy]

Yeah. But they're both for a billion. So what? Who care?

[Bobby]

Like, yeah, prenup's not all just money, though. What is it could be about kids,

[Amy]

how many times a week you do it.

[Bobby]

There's a lot of stuff, really prenuptial. That's not just music.

[Amy]

I mean.

[Bobby]

Excuse me. Just money, property.

[Friend/Co-host]

Right.

[Bobby]

That'd be considered financial probably, but. All right, Morgan. Oh, what? Go ahead.

[Amy]

What I was saying, like, sometimes really detailed stuff like what you can wear.

[Bobby]

That's crazy stuff, though. I was watching a lawyer talk about

[Amy]

that, but some people Are crazy.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And a lot of lawyers won't take on the crazy cases like that. Like, those are, like, so unicorn. That completely uncommon. A lawyer was like, when you hear about those on the Internet. I saw this on TikTok the other day. That mostly. That's one story that gets blown up in the news. But most lawyers will not take a case like that, where it's like, we must work out. Yeah.

[Amy]

Needs to insure four children somehow.

[Bobby]

Well, some of that, though. You're insuring your kids?

[Amy]

No. No, no. I mean, no. You must guarantee you're gonna give. Like, if they can divorce you. If you can't give them.

[Bobby]

I never heard that one. It's like some Game of Thrones type crap. Morgan.

[Guest]

Okay, so there's this pastor in Florida who. He wrote a book that was called Love her like this. Loving her has never been deeper, and it focuses on understanding the commitment to improve your marriage. And he was married once, but then, like, just randomly posted on Facebook that he got married. So he has potentially two wives, potentially others. And he just got arrested for bigamy over this. So he's a pastor. He has his book. Now he's arrested because he has multiple wives.

[Eddie]

Some of the comments were hilarious. Like, oh, I thought you were already married. You got another wife. It's hilarious.

[Bobby]

Yeah. He wrote the whole thing about how to stay true and loyal and have a. Be a great husband to a great wife. And it turns out, according to the story that I read, allegedly 100 human

[Friend/Co-host]

guaranteed.

[Bobby]

Yeah. A guaranteed human that he was having multiple wives and, like, lying about who he was, basically.

[Amy]

Shocker.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Guest]

So now he's currently sitting in jail for that. I didn't realize. I guess you could go to jail for bigamy still.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because, I mean, we don't really go to jail for stuff, so it's fine.

[Bobby]

Weird crime to go to jail for what? Bigamy. Like, if everybody's happy, you know, let's say you got two wives and they're both like, no, we're good. We're happy. Weird law to go to jail.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, if the wives don't care, then what is it? Yeah.

[Friend/Co-host]

So in, like, Utah, is that legal? Because some aren't there.

[Eddie]

Like, they're not officially married.

[Bobby]

Like polygamists.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby]

So bigamy by two and pilla is more. Huh.

[Friend/Co-host]

How do you handle all those wives?

[Bobby]

You say that like, it's just hard to have one.

[Friend/Co-host]

I mean, one's difficult. You imagine having a bunch of wives.

[Amy]

I don't.

[Bobby]

I would.

[Friend/Co-host]

And then keeping track of Your stories.

[Bobby]

The. The. The. The power dynamic is different in a relationship like that, where if you're a polygamist, you're a bigamist. You probably live the life of I'm the king. What I say goes. No one ever challenges me.

[Amy]

Therefore, more like culture.

[Bobby]

Therefore, it's different than like, you and your wife. Got it where that's not the case.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah, it's a little more equal with us.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

A little more. Yeah.

[Guest]

Dang, guys, I just googled.

[Amy]

So.

[Guest]

Bigamy is illegal in all 50 states, and it is treated as a felony or a serious misdemeanor most of the time punishable by fines or imprisonment.

[Amy]

Every state.

[Bobby]

I was looking at the couch. It looked like an invisible man talking to us. You.

[Friend/Co-host]

Did I hit a wrong button?

[Bobby]

Yeah. All right. Chick fil a employee is accused of stealing $80,000 with a Mac and cheese scheme. This is in Grapevine, Texas. This employee, former employee, now is accused of stealing more than $80,000 through a fake refund scheme involving hundreds of Mac and cheese orders. Police say that this person, who had allegedly been fired, snuck back behind the counter, rang up about 800 bogus Mac and cheese tray orders, and refunded the money to his own credit cards. Bro, what's up?

[Amy]

You can't do.

[Friend/Co-host]

That's too much.

[Scuba]

Too big.

[Friend/Co-host]

That's too much of an amount.

[Bobby]

Investigators uncovered the scam after noticing suspicious refund activity and surveillance footage reportedly showed him carrying out the transactions. After a month of evading arrest, Jones was taken into custody and now faces charges including theft, money laundering, and evading. Arrest. From New York Post. Yeah, if you're gonna scam somebody, it's got to be slow and drip, drip, drip. And also the headline's funny because you just think he stole a bunch of Mac and cheese.

[Friend/Co-host]

That's what I thought. Yeah.

[Bobby]

I still think about that carjacking at our Chick Fil.

[Friend/Co-host]

A. I know, dude. Crazy.

[Bobby]

Oh, wow.

[Friend/Co-host]

Crazy. I know. A fatal carjacking.

[Bobby]

The person who was jacking, though, got killed, correct?

[Friend/Co-host]

The carjacker got killed.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Which is different.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

Than if it was the victim.

[Bobby]

Unsuspecting person who was just.

[Friend/Co-host]

Who was a delivery driver.

[Bobby]

Dang. Electric air taxis are taking flight in New York City. Joby Aviation made history in New York City by completing their first ever point to point test flights of the all electric air taxi. The zero emissions aircraft flew between JFK Airport and Manhattan's West 30th Street. That's a two hour drive in bad traffic. But the helicopter turned it into a seven minute Flight. The company's targeting a full passenger launch through the Uber App in about 6 months. Get you a hotel and then a.

[Amy]

And a car. Taxi. I mean, is now the time we add more things to the air, or

[Bobby]

do we take a beat Yahoo Finance with that?

[Amy]

Like, let's just get, get our ducks back in a row, and then they're

[Friend/Co-host]

having trouble with planes taking off.

[Amy]

Like, I just feel like, let's just give it a beat. Let's let the, the, the. The veteran air crafts that have been around a long time figure it out, because we've kind of lost our way a little bit.

[Bobby]

I don't think any beats will be given.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Friend/Co-host]

Did you say this is a helicopter? Like, so is it, like.

[Amy]

Yeah, I imagine it's like a.

[Bobby]

It looks like a large drone.

[Friend/Co-host]

Oh, wow.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Friend/Co-host]

And you sit in it.

[Bobby]

Yeah, look.

[Friend/Co-host]

Oh, that's cool. That's cool looking.

[Bobby]

Looks like a large drone. Yeah.

[Friend/Co-host]

That's gonna be too much in the sky. I mean, you're right.

[Bobby]

They don't go that high, though.

[Friend/Co-host]

Doesn't matter. Because, I mean, how many cats?

[Amy]

How high?

[Bobby]

Well, they don't go airplane high because.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, I know, but I'm just curious. 300ft, everybody.

[Bobby]

Helicopter.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, once. And I, I. It.

[Friend/Co-host]

It's trippy,

[Amy]

but I understand how a helicopter works. I just don't know how these. No, I know, but are those are individual props? Are they spinning this way or this way?

[Friend/Co-host]

What does it matter?

[Amy]

Yeah, they're on top.

[Bobby]

So they're going like this way, though, like a clock. See, I think that that's already on top. It looks like all.

[Amy]

But it lifts up. It doesn't have to take off.

[Bobby]

The physics of it, I'm not sure. I think it just lifts up like a helicopter.

[Amy]

But is it safer than a helicopter?

[Bobby]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Literally, it has more little propellers. And I'm wondering, because that's what my ex husband, when he would fly a prop plane and the props were going this way, the physics of that he liked better than a prop going this way, especially with one, because you lose that and you just. Like a bumblebee and you just fall.

[Bobby]

Fall?

[Amy]

Yeah, you can't, like, glide.

[Friend/Co-host]

So these were like a prop plane. So what do you think about that?

[Amy]

No, I don't have any. I've known nothing about this. I'm just saying. And plus, I don't know the speed. And then. Could you guide it? Yeah, like, if they're.

[Bobby]

It doesn't seem like there's a big Runway for these though, right?

[Amy]

It must just. I'm picturing like a drone just lifting off.

[Friend/Co-host]

But then I've seen like I was playing golf by airport one time and I saw a military. I don't aircraft that started like a helicopter and then as it went up, the things moved. The prop. The props moved to becoming like a helicopter prop to an airplane prop. It actually moved, which is crazy. I never seen that.

[Amy]

I don't know. I just. I love the future and I also am scared of it.

[Bobby]

I didn't mind being in a helicopter. I've been in a bunch of them now. The Jerry Jones. Well, more than five. I did. I do not like two with bear girls. On both those episodes, I'm talking about some crazy flying hardcore fast. So I think the rest of them were easy for me because of that. Because I went through some hardcore helicopter. Like you clap yourself, clip yourself in. There's no seat. You're just clipping yourself in and holding on. Crazy. But that made the other ones easier. I flew in Blake Shelton's from his house to the Dallas airport.

[Friend/Co-host]

Now, did he have a pilot?

[Bobby]

It wasn't Blake flying.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And that one never got that high. Just above the trees. It was easy. Jerry Jones's helicopter with the Dallas Cowboys did that. When I was doing breaking Bobby bones, I would get so car sick on the way up in a jeep and it would take me an hour. I'd vomit when I would get there that they could start production. So they just hired a helicopter to take me up there.

[Friend/Co-host]

Wow.

[Bobby]

So I don't know. I like that. That's what I felt like this was. But what do you got? Here's it taking off. So they actually shift 90 degrees. So when it takes. It starts up. Yeah, it starts up and then as it goes, they shift.

[Friend/Co-host]

That's like the plane I was telling you about or the aircraft. It's exactly what it did.

[Bobby]

That's pretty cool. Not pretty cool. You don't like it still in that

[Amy]

whole I don't know yet.

[Bobby]

You don't like, you don't want to go to the future?

[Amy]

Sometimes I don't, but I don't. Then I'm like, no, don't be like that. Be cool.

[Friend/Co-host]

I don't think we have to worry about it. Like, it's not going to be so drastic in our lifetime. I don't think.

[Bobby]

What are you talking about?

[Amy]

I feel like things are going very rapid at this point. We've hit a. The way I see it, and I could be wrong, but I feel like we've Hit a point with technology where everything's just moving so much faster than we're even. Everything's happening faster than it's ever happened before.

[Friend/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And that's been what's happening if you look at technology over the past thousand years. Very little slow growth, but the more growth promotes more growth. So the more growth there is. And so in the last 80 years, there's been more technological development in the last 920 years because growth promotes growth. So, yes, you're absolutely right. And the faster the technology develops, the faster it then develops after that until, in my opinion, it gets to a point, it all explodes and then you start over, which is. Could have happened many times.

[Friend/Co-host]

Like end of the world explodes.

[Bobby]

We really don't know if the world has happened, boom, done and started over. We don't know that.

[Friend/Co-host]

But the dinosaurs. Gone. Gone. They were here and no more.

[Bobby]

That's crazy. They're birds. That's what's crazy to me about dinosaurs. They're all. They're all birds. Even the big ones. They're. If you were comparing them to an animal, it'd be. They'd be massive birds.

[Friend/Co-host]

They all didn't have wings though, right?

[Bobby]

No.

[Friend/Co-host]

Okay. Like the brontosaurus didn't have a wing.

[Bobby]

Tyrannosaurus. Now, most of the sources didn't have ring wings.

[Friend/Co-host]

The dactyls, the. Yeah, right.

[Bobby]

But like, their bone structure, their composition, they'd be mostly compared to birds. Yeah, they had feathers. The T. Rex had feathers.

[Friend/Co-host]

Really?

[Bobby]

Really? Yeah. That's cool. I'm not so scared anymore. If I ran into it, I'm not so scared. Okay, cool. Is there anything else I wanted to get to. I think I'm good. They put Josh Duggar in solitary confinement.

[Guest]

Why?

[Amy]

The whole. Because for. For safety or what?

[Bobby]

Josh Duggar had two months added to his federal prison sentence just days after appearing before a judge to appeal his child sex abuse material conviction. The disgraced reality star had time added to a sentence last week and is now scheduled to be released in 2033. His cousin said that he was in solitary confinement for a rules violation.

[Amy]

Ooh. What rule did he violate?

[Bobby]

I don't know. Good for whatever. Mess with kids.

[Friend/Co-host]

He should stay in the hole the whole time.

[Bobby]

Nothing. Okay, that's it. Thank you everybody for being here. We will definitely see you tomorrow. And don't forget, check out the Bobby cast with Dr. Unger. We talk a lot of plastic surgery.
