[A]

Let's do a couple voicemails. Here we go. Voicemail 1. I wanted to tell you guys that this is our year.

[E]

We got a hot new quarterback and one of the best defenses in the NFL. And this year's super bowl is going to be filled with orange and blue Broncos country. Let's ride.

[A]

Okay. I mean, you know, the Bronco fans are showing up.

[F]

They are showing up. I didn't think. I didn't think there were that many. Huh?

[A]

You saw a picture of the stadium.

[F]

But I mean all the teams that you've. Like, like we hadn't getting a call from Cowboys fans. No. Vikings fans. One Panthers fans. Now we got Broncos fans coming from everywhere.

[A]

Well, because we had a Broncos PowerPoint, right? I mean, you think that was it? Okay, there's that. Let's go with number.

[E]

Give me that next one y' all were talking about. The animals do the same thing as their. Their adults. My mom passed of liver failure. The next day my dog died of liver failure. So it does happen. Y' all take care. Have a good one. Bye. Dang.

[A]

Weird coincidence or is weird. Maybe not.

[F]

You remember the sublime guy when he died, his dalmatian died right after of the same thing. Loneliness. That's what they say. He missed his owner so bad he.

[A]

Died after a day?

[F]

No, no, I think it was like a couple weeks. But yeah, he died immediately.

[A]

I wonder if the dog was sick.

[F]

Don't know.

[A]

Joel is on. Let's go talk to Joel real quick. Hey, Joel, you're on the show. What's up, buddy?

[E]

Morning, Bobby. Morning, studio.

[A]

Morning.

[E]

How are you guys?

[A]

We're doing pretty good, man. Where do you. Where do you live?

[E]

I live in South Jersey.

[A]

Okay. All right. How about it?

[E]

So I was actually interested in pitching a wild card pick for you for your football team.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

So you want to. You want to talk about loyal fans. You want some competition this year, so you get some friendly competition with Eddie. I know he's not going to like this pick. We have fans in every city. I'm pretty sure there's a bar in almost every town. I mean, the obvious pick is the Philadelphia Eagles.

[A]

Had they not won the Super Bowl, I might consider it hot right now. Philly is such a culture, and I don't want to jump into a culture. Philly is such a culture. Like, if you're not from Philly, it's kind of hard to jump in and be like, I'm an Eagles fan.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

So I respect it. But also, I just can't. I can't jump in on a team that just won a Super Bowl.

[F]

And he's right. I don't think we could be friends if you do that.

[A]

We could. No, we just had a weird interaction in the bathroom, a bunch of us. Ray, did you catch it? You're the only one to talk. I had to. I just did a. I wasn't going to talk courtesy word.

[F]

Yes.

[A]

So there's.

[F]

What happened.

[A]

I didn't know. I was thankful for Ray because I will leave a situation awkward. I have no problem with awkwardness. And we're just. There's five or six of us in the bathroom at once. And yeah, there were a lot of people on there, but it's because we took a break before we started doing this. Part two of the podcast. So we're all in there, all the stalls are full. I walked in to pee. Raised in one stall, lunchbox pee in another stall. Somebody's letting it rip over on a sit down toilet. I don't know who it was. Mike's walking out, but we're all there at once. And then another guy who works in the building walks in and goes, well, it looks like a party in here. And I'm like, it was just a gap filler. And I'd say, nobody said anything except Ray. And Ray goes, yeah, how about that?

[F]

Yeah, good job.

[A]

Everybody had a good laugh. And hey, kind of awkward, though. Well, what's even awkward is I've never met the guy before, and I just didn't feel like meeting him for the first time in the bathroom with 10 other people in there going the bathroom.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

It's kind of weird, but I appreciate Ray. My wife gets irritated because she knows if we go to dinner with other people, she's got talked the whole time.

[F]

Because you're not going to do it.

[A]

It's not that I'm not going to do it. I'm just not going to force it. And if you go to dinner with other people, some stuff has to be forced or you're sitting there. Because it's not weird. If my wife and I go to dinner and it's quiet because we're together all the time and quiet, we're fine sitting in silence.

[F]

Do you guys, like, go out to eat and don't talk?

[A]

Sometimes. If we're just like, hey, let's just stop and get something to eat, we'll sit. Yeah. A lot of times we don't have to talk. We'll ride in the car and talk.

[F]

Interesting.

[A]

Yeah. We love silence. But if we're with other people. And maybe it's me that loves silence more than her. Yeah, I think so. But with other people, you kind of have to have a conversation going. Yeah.

[F]

Or else it's awkward.

[A]

Or, why did you even get together to have dinner? And my wife knows. It's not that I'm not gonna put forth effort, but I'm okay just eating and sitting in silence.

[F]

You're pretty good at asking questions, though, and letting people just talk.

[A]

She knows she's gonna have to do most of the work.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

She knows if we're going to some sort of event, even if it's my event, she's gonna have to do most of the work because I don't feel the need to just for filling up space to have to talk. Not the best. Not the best small talker. You excel at small talk.

[F]

Love small talk.

[A]

You're the best small talker I've ever met.

[F]

I'd rather have small talk than real talk.

[A]

Yeah. Eddie likes small talk more than big talk, for sure.

[F]

I don't want to talk real. Like, I don't want to talk real to someone for like five minutes and then never see him again.

[A]

I think that's why people generally really like you, because the small talk, you jump in immediately and you're just like, what's up? How's it going? How about that weather? Holy crap. Do you see the humidity? Oh, the weather's always a good go to traffic. What about that? And so people just feel connected.

[F]

Like, Morgan and I had a really good small talk outside on the balcony a second ago.

[A]

What'd you guys talk about?

[D]

The weather.

[F]

Like, oh, man, it feels great out here, doesn't it? You know, it ain't gonna last, though. Not in Nashville.

[G]

You know who started that, too?

[A]

Eddie. Eddie is the greatest small talker I've ever met. Yesterday, Dierks Bentley was over at the house, and we were doing a podcast. And I've known Dirks a long time, and I like Dirks a lot. I'd never done this on a podcast, but I was like, let's just start out with some small talk. And that's what we did for, like, the first 10 minutes of the podcast.

[F]

That's great.

[A]

It was funny because he was in on it. I mean, I said it. It wasn't like we were hiding it, but he also thought that was a funny way to do a podcast. And he doesn't do many podcasts at all. And he was like, it was fun to do long form, you know, his thing. And it was like, what's up, man? How you been?

[F]

Good, good, good.

[A]

Yeah?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

How's traffic coming on over today? And so we did the whole first part of that podcast just doing small talk. But, yeah, Ray lent us a little small talk in the bathroom. We appreciate that, Ray. Yeah, well, and it doesn't help either. Sometimes with going the bathroom, I can't really talk and go to the bathroom. So if we could just eliminate talking in the bathroom. I think so. I like that idea. Like, there's. Because if you. If you stand at a urinal next to somebody because they're tight, there's a wall, like a small wall in between that goes shoulder high and down to, like, your quad, your thigh, so it doesn't cover the whole thing, but it's there enough so you don't just look at somebody else's pecker. And so you feel, though you're standing so close, you have to say something and acknowledge that you're standing next to somebody regardless of what you're doing. That close a confines, you have to be like, what's up? How's it going? Yeah, it's weird to walk up and just pee. I think as soon as you walk in the bathroom, no talking. I'm all for it. I think that should be a rule. Girls, do you have that issue? Morgan, if you're in a stall and somebody else in a stall next to you, do you have to say something?

[G]

No, because we're completely closed off to each other. We don't have anything open in there besides the sinks.

[F]

That's good.

[A]

Yeah. Because I guess if you're dropping one in our bathroom. You don't have to talk to somebody.

[F]

No, because you're. You have a divider.

[A]

Mm.

[F]

Where you can't even see them.

[A]

But then there are people like Eddie, who, if they recognize the shoes.

[F]

I always look at the shoes, and.

[A]

Then he's like, hey, what's up? And I'm like, I don't want to talk.

[F]

Look down there. Oh, it's bobby.

[A]

I got 31 seconds. I don't want to talk.

[F]

Like, I saw Scuba the other day. He has really unique shoes, and I knew that was him.

[A]

Hey, Scuba, what's the latest song on? Is it classic rock?

[D]

So I just did Godsmack Voodoo this past Monday, and the one I'm doing next week is Days of the New Touch.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Touch Pill stand. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah, Exactly.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You are the one.

[F]

Two of you.

[A]

Guess I finally found a reason. Now I need an excuse I got this time on my hands they were the one I won't use Want to abuse acoustic.

[F]

Yeah. Good. Dude.

[A]

Morgan, did any of that make sense to you?

[G]

No, I have no idea what just happened.

[A]

That's a jam.

[G]

I tuned out.

[A]

Can I get some.

[D]

Sorry, go ahead.

[A]

I think about this segment a lot. Scuba at home.

[D]

Can I get some live feedback from you on that? Do you feel like I should pin two songs against each other to give it a choice or just the one?

[A]

No, it's not rush it or flush it or whatever. Any of that.

[F]

Like that, though.

[A]

No, you don't pin. Because they both might be or they both not. May not be.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

I like the bit, I think, because I've spent way too much time thinking about this one little segment, because I think this could be something on your social media where you just do it. It's not even you recording it of your radio show. Like, I think for your social content, it's. You should do that straight into the content to be like, all right, is this song because you can play clips of music on Instagram, not TikTok. Unless it's in. It's dependent. Because I got to click that stupid thing on TikTok that goes. Are you reading the rules?

[G]

For every post, you can use the TikTok with it. You can use music within both of those apps.

[A]

Okay. But not all the songs are on TikTok. Almost no songs are on TikTok.

[G]

I still have a bunch of songs. It depends.

[A]

Yeah, Instagram has them all.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So on Instagram, you can actually put it as the song that plays over it. But not so loud. You can't hear you.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And be like. Okay, so is it classic rock? And the song this week is Touchdown to Is this good enough to be considered classic rock? Because I think the thing about the time. I spent way too much time thinking about this because it's such a good bit. I would love to do it. But it's your bit. I think the time you got to wipe that away. Okay. It's not when it came out because all these songs qualify based on when it came out. Okay.

[D]

So it's more about what it is and how it sounds classic, not classic.

[A]

And old classic in. Is it good enough to be considered classic? Okay. I think that's that bit because every song counts that you're sharing because it all fits within the time guideline. It's. Is it good enough to be considered classic rock?

[D]

Okay, cool.

[A]

I like that because the rock format expanded so much in that time in the 90s and on 2000s more so than when classic rock we played now in the 60s and 70s because there's like one rock. It was rock.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

But again there's adult rock, album oriented rock, alternative rock. So all those songs aren't classic rock just because they came out at that time.

[D]

And I think the texture is big. Cuz like when you do something like a corner system of a down, especially in the south, they hate it because it's too loud, it's too in your face.

[A]

I don't think it's a south thing.

[D]

I don't know. Because like in the west coast people are all about system of a down and out here they're kind of like we. We don't. They don't want to touch it.

[A]

It's just older.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

They liked it in Texas, Arkansas. We were all about it. Okay. Yeah. I think that bit, which is awesome is. Is it good enough to be considered classic rock? Not is it old enough? Yeah.

[D]

Okay, that makes sense then. Cuz they're all right. They're from that era and.

[A]

But you could, you could live pivot, you could do it in your studio to be like radio show. But I wouldn't do it as an on air bit. I would do it from the studio with your thing behind you and then I would say is it. And you can turn it up in the studio through the speakers and play a little bit of it while you're on your social media. Okay. Instead of playing it added to the song. Okay. Am I.

[D]

It does make sense. Yeah. Cuz I still want to do it on air. Cuz obviously the goal is do it on air. Yeah, cuz they like it, I play.

[A]

It and at the end it's like Scuba Steve classical night. Okay, but I think you're getting the same effect from it. And I think you're wanting to build out that who you are on your social media. That's why you're posting it. Yeah, okay. But you do it both. You do it on air, but on air is different than what you're doing it to social media.

[D]

Gotcha. Cuz on air involves the callers and their opinions and that kind of stuff.

[A]

Okay, cool. And you could do the call. I mean that could be the back half of the bit, but I would do it straight to camera. All right, here's the thing. Is this song good enough to be considered classic rock from 2002? Touchpill. I don't know what year that song was.

[D]

I think it's 97.

[A]

Touch pill stand. And then here's some of it. Turn it up while you're there, then hit your button. We are the one who want you do your head butt rock and roll. All right, is it good enough? Let me know in the comments. And then you cut to the callers like a video clip and it's like that's what I would do.

[D]

Should I do it where I insert a piece of the music video into it or just.

[A]

You don't have to. You can if you wanted, if you have time to do that. Ed. Yeah, but then it doesn't feel as organic. And what really works now is the friggin straight to camera organic. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

[D]

Which for me it feels so weird to put my face on social media because I've always been the behind the scenes person. So that's why I was kind of aiming towards the music video side.

[A]

But if you think it's a great bit though. Okay, it's a great bit.

[D]

Thank you.

[A]

In that I'm. If you love that kind of music, you have an opinion on that. And I do. And I think about all the time. Sometimes. Sometimes I've been on a urinal and I'm standing next to somebody and I'm like, hey, you see heard scuba seats be on rock 105.9. But that could be your thing. I mean it's such a simple thing. But simple doesn't mean easy. But it's such a simple thing that I think resonates with everybody who likes music, period. If I were to go like, okay, is this considered classic country? And I were to play something not because of the date it came out, but is it good enough to be Considered like a country classic.

[D]

Timeless.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Country classic is Reba. Fancy a country classic?

[D]

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

[A]

Of course. That's the bit. Okay. Yeah.

[D]

I like the feedback. Thank you.

[A]

Well, mostly it's just I was jealous. It was a good one. Yeah, yeah, it is a good one.

[F]

And you have so many songs. Like, it's.

[A]

It's like forever. It's unlimited.

[D]

Yeah. And you can even go into the 2000s, because that has that timeless feel too, depending on who the band is.

[A]

And in another year, you get another year of songs. Exactly. Yes.

[F]

A whole new batch.

[D]

Or you can revisit ones that said no at once. Maybe it changes.

[A]

Yeah. All right, cool.

[D]

Thank you.

[A]

That's cool. And by the way, you can follow Scuba. What.

[D]

What is your name on Instagram?

[A]

Yeah. Scoop of Steve Radio.

[D]

Yeah. Scuba Steve Radio across the board.

[A]

Were those shoes that you made, right, Real? You made them or were they a Scuba Steve shoe that was made that you just said? Oh, these are cool. Oh.

[D]

So some guy reached out to me and I guess he does that where he, like, takes hybrids. You kind of tell them what you're into. And so I was. I was like, I like the Penny Twos, the Nikes from back in the 90s and the Shaq pumps from the 90s. And he was like, all right. And he formed them together. Maybe he used AI or he did something.

[A]

Oh, those weren't real shoes he gave you.

[D]

No, they're not real shoes. I would love to have those shoes.

[C]

As real shoes, man.

[A]

I thought they were. So I was like, dang, Scuba paid top dollar for those. Scuba Steve.

[D]

I mean, I'll make them one day, I'm sure. But they're not real at the moment.

[A]

Okay. Had a bit of a nightmare morning, early this morning. So I wake up and I don't need an alarm to wake up. And my phone always stays charged, so it's not really an issue. But our power went out. And I think if you were on like 12% and your power goes out, your phone might die in the middle of the night.

[F]

Oh, no.

[A]

But much like my gas tank, never below 50, always ready, so I don't even need my alarm because I wake up like a ninja. Usually 45 minutes before the alarm goes off. Like a ninja or like an anxiety riddled person. One of the two. So I wake up and everything's down. Like, what is happening? I don't know if somebody crashed into a pole near my house. Did you. Did it affect you at all?

[F]

No.

[A]

Did you see it at all?

[F]

I didn't know. Well, traffic was bad, but no.

[A]

So a traffic light was completely down. All the power in the neighborhood was down. So I wake up and I have a couple things I like to do in the morning. If I wake up really early. So I'm going through all the show segments and going through all the bits, and I'm emailing back and forth with Mike, and if I have some free time, I like to go and turn the PlayStation on for a little bit.

[F]

That's good.

[A]

Yeah, I couldn't do that. So I'm like, oh, this morning sucks. So then the garage won't open.

[F]

I didn't think about that.

[A]

I'm having to go full pilgrim this morning. So I can't get the car out of the garage. And so I go. And I have had to do this a couple times where there's a rope that hangs from the box. You pull the rope. Now you don't. You gotta have a touch. You can't pull it so hard, but you have to pull it hard enough to where it goes and clicks.

[F]

Yeah, that unlocks it and it.

[A]

But it's gotta be the right touch because if you just go. Which I've done before, it breaks the rope or it breaks the box. So I'm being gentle but firm. Kinda like I like it. So I pull it. Pops. Okay, Lift it. Garage. It goes like three inches. Click.

[F]

Oh, no.

[A]

I'm like, what is happening? My hands are all covered in. I don't know. What is this called? Dirt.

[E]

Dirt.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Whatever that is. Don't have a lot on me. So it's up. And I'm pulling it up and it will not lift. Now, I've done this before, and I know that what I'm doing up to this point is correct. So you know what I do? I get my assistant out on my phone that I often talk to.

[F]

Oh, yeah?

[A]

Yeah. Hurt hit the button, and I say, hey, I'm take a picture of this. Will you tell me what the problem could be? And so I take a picture of it, push it through. And she said, you have a jammed spring. And I'm like, I don't know how you know that, but that's awesome.

[F]

What?

[A]

So I said, where would the jam spring be? And she says, located here. The four. And Abby. Dang, if there wasn't a jam spring in there.

[F]

She knew what she was talking about.

[A]

She knew because I had said exactly what had happened, what I had done. So I get. I had like, a old golf club, and I boom. The spring unjammed. Door came Open.

[F]

Wow.

[A]

Got to work.

[F]

That's amazing.

[A]

That's amazing. So annoying that the power's out. I think the power is still out because I think somebody hit a pole. Cause traffic light. Everything was out. But that was this morning, so I did that.

[F]

That's not a good start.

[A]

Can you imagine? Imagine me with dirt on me.

[F]

Oh, gosh, dirt.

[A]

How terrible. I know. That's what I'm saying.

[F]

How are you living your life right now?

[A]

I don't know. I still have, like, some little stuff on me. So there was that. We have no Amy again today, which, if you've been listening to the show, you know that. But I did text her last night to check on her.

[F]

Is she okay?

[A]

Well, I'm glad you asked, because. Let me scroll to my text here.

[F]

But if you text her, you wouldn't. You wouldn't know how her voice sounds, because it was sounding bad.

[A]

Yeah, I said, amy, how's it going? That's it. No, she never responded. She might be dead.

[F]

She never responded.

[A]

She might be dead.

[F]

Oh, no. You need to send paramedics out there. Well, now give it a little bit.

[A]

Can you imagine if we send. We send 911 to her house?

[F]

Yeah, let's just wait a little bit.

[A]

I'm gonna text her again. Are you okay today? Because yesterday. And you can go listen to yesterday's podcast. She did not sound good. And she, I think, was a little nutty because I said, hey, how you doing? She goes, I have a yeast infection. I'm like, whoa.

[F]

Yeah, that was a surprise.

[A]

Like, I get it. It happens. But came out like Kool Aid, man. Just boom. Right?

[F]

She gave us a quick warning and said, like, you know, you probably don't want to hear this, but I have a.

[A]

But she didn't let us say, okay. We choose not to hear it.

[F]

Right, right, right.

[A]

Yes. So, yeah, that happened. I don't. I would bet she's not back tomorrow.

[F]

I mean, if she's not responding. Yeah.

[A]

Why, she may be forever gone. Yeah. I couldn't believe it. So that happened. We'll take your calls to 877-77. Bobby, 877-77. B O B B Y. Abby earlier did a PowerPoint presentation to try to convince me to be a Broncos fan because she grew up a Broncos fan. So she's in. She has the shirt on, and people are calling in. Now Dave is on in Colorado. Who wants to talk. Hey, Dave. What's going on, buddy?

[E]

Hey, Bobby. Bones and the studio. How are you guys?

[A]

Good, buddy. What's happening?

[E]

Hey, I just had to help add you. I'm from Colorado, and the whole team thing, I just sat in the background knowing that you were going to make the right decision. But when she made her case, I think she left out a few very important things that are going to sway you our way, sir.

[A]

Okay, I'd love to hear it. Go ahead.

[E]

So not only do we have the coolest mascot, Miles, but also, every time they score a touchdown, we have a lady that rides a white horse up and down the field.

[A]

That's cool. You know what's also cool?

[E]

For you to come watch that I.

[A]

Never put together because the mascot is cool. I didn't realize his name was Miles, as in Mile High Stadium. Abby, that's, like, one of the most fun facts, you know? I love fun facts. I know I left out a few good things. And the white horse seems like, you know, they have the big horse in front of the airport, and it's talked about that underground. There's all the conspiracies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe that's like the horse of death or something.

[E]

Whoa.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, go ahead.

[E]

Well, and then, you know, I know you're a devoted Razorback fan. The Broncos were 0 and 4 and Super Bowls until. I mean, the devotion of our fans to stick with them, to finally get the three Super Bowls we have, that's the same kind of dedication you Razorback fans have. Not to mention another Arkansas reference. Walmart is from Arkansas. Walmart is part owners of the Denver Broncos. And, I mean, if you really want to break it down, God himself is a Broncos fan because every sunset you look at is orange and blue.

[A]

Wow. Is that true?

[F]

I mean, both of those things. The Walmart connection.

[A]

Nobody told me God was a Broncos fan. Like, how did I not know that? Abby, how did you not lead with God's a Broncos fan.

[B]

That was on the slide that I forgot to add.

[A]

Okay, got it.

[G]

I ran out of time, you know.

[A]

Okay. Well, Dave, I appreciate the call. I need to. Okay. Notable fans. Because the two teams I'm down between are the Panthers and the Broncos. Notable fans. Panthers. Luke Combs, Broncos. God. Okay.

[F]

I mean, that's.

[A]

I need to. No brainer. I need to factor that in. Okay. Dave, I appreciate the call, man. Thank you so much for listening.

[E]

Hey, thanks, guys. Keep doing what you do. I love the show.

[A]

We'll try to keep doing it, do our best, as long as they let us.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

All right. Here's the voicemail. Oh, my goodness. So I think that for employee of the month, it. It has to. It for sure has to be Amy. I can't believe that she got in the air and told everybody that she has a beast infection. And she literally told the world. That's wild. That's like mad props to her, for sure.

[E]

That's awesome. Bye.

[F]

It is wild.

[A]

Well, we thought it was wild when she said it. We did. I think she was a little sick.

[F]

When she said it.

[A]

I think she was in her right mind.

[F]

Employee of the month status.

[A]

We'll have to factor in a few.

[F]

Things because, I mean, I can say something really crazy, too.

[A]

Can you beat that, though?

[C]

I mean, I talked about me having a yeast infection in my throat, and I didn't win. So I don't think her just coming on the air, that's not really employee of the month worthy, in my opinion.

[A]

Think it's a little different, though, for her and for you. Yours is weird because you're a dude.

[F]

That is very strange.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, next up. Give me this one.

[E]

My wife and I were sitting there watching tv, and she's like, hey, Girls at work recently told me that if you type Yeehaw into your Netflix search bar, then you get all this exclusive country concerts and all these shows, whatever. I don't know. So, anyway, I am so far behind on your podcast, I just now listen to you creating this life. So thank you. You got her. I wasn't buying, but it's out there.

[A]

Yeah. Remember, if you go to Netflix in the search bar, type in Yeehaw. One word, you get concerts. It's like a secret menu.

[F]

It's pretty cool.

[A]

Like, you love Luke Holmes, Morgan Wallen. Watch all these secret concerts up there. Yeehaw. We made the whole thing up, and we're just trying to see how long it lives. So tell people that, that if they go to Netflix and type in Yee haw, it's the secret menu unlocked. So there you go, Amy. Just text me back.

[F]

Oh, good, she's alive.

[A]

Yeah, I think she's listening to the show and it's like 10 texts. I am not dead.

[F]

Thank God.

[A]

Just uncomfortable. Not great sleep. So really make me want to know how you do it. Sleep. Is everything voice kind of better. Question mark? I don't know. I don't answer that.

[F]

Is she asking you?

[A]

Yeah, she's texting me. Had to miss Stevenson's first cross country race last night. He got second place overall.

[F]

Oh, that's cool.

[A]

So proud of him. Anyway, that's my update.

[F]

It's a good update.

[A]

So still no Amy. She's sick, but she is possibly listening right now. This episode of the Bobby Bones show brought to you by Chase Sapphire Reserve Everybody loves to travel, right?

Head to topshelfcountrycruise.com topshelfcountrycruise.Com Again, topshelf countrycruise.com hey, the Menendez boys are cautiously optimistic about their parole hearings, aren't they?

[F]

Isn't everyone optimistic when they go to those parole hearings?

[A]

Yeah, but I think they could actually be let out, really. Mostly because they have kind of shined the new light on it, you know, Netflix, social media, which didn't happen back then. And, you know, their story, which I can read some of this, but their story is like, not, did they kill? It's what were the circumstances that led to that? And they have served a bunch of time and you don't get parole because they found out you were innocent. You get parole because they think you've been rehabilitated. And maybe the sentence, you shouldn't have to serve the whole sentence because of the rehabilitation and new things possibly have been learned.

[F]

And what was their sentence? Life.

[A]

Probably. Yeah, let me read it here. But I just know that I don't know. What do you believe? Lunchbox. I feel like they were being abused.

[C]

Oh, man, it is so hard.

[A]

It's like, did they kill because they felt like they were not safe and probably a little bit. And they were very young, so it wasn't like they had fully formed frontal lobes and were making decisions based on. But weren't they like 20, 18 and 21?

[C]

That's what I mean. Like, I feel like at 21, life.

[A]

In prison without the possibility of parole.

[C]

At 21, I understand you feel, but you don't even, I don't even know if he lived there anymore. See, it's not like you have to go back to. You could just stay away and like bring these charges. Ah, man, it is so hard. And the way they set up and just waited for him, like, it wasn't like the dad was coming in to abuse him. And they were like, oh, you know what?

[F]

Defense.

[A]

But what if. There are a lot of what ifs. But what if, what if they were keeping their dad from abusing other people?

[C]

Well, you're right.

[A]

So my point is they're not found not guilty.

[F]

But you said that their, their sentence was life in prison without parole. But now they can get out on parole.

[A]

Y.

[C]

They revisited.

[A]

That's exactly what happened.

[C]

The harshness of the no parole or something, I don't know. They had a bunch of lobbyists and people go and fight for it.

[A]

The justice for Eric and Lyle Coalition says the brothers have taken accountability, expressed remorse, and have support from correctional officers. The family hopes the brothers are granted parole. Eric is scheduled to have A hearing on Thursday, Lyle on Friday. The family is optimistic. They said they're not counting their eggs, but the justice said that they're cautiously optimistic. The group says they know the parole process can be long, but that Eric and Lyle are ready for the process. They said the brothers have taken accountability for the murder of their parents, have expressed remorse, and they have all the support from the people around them, including the people in the correctional facility. We know that Eric and Lyle will come home. This is no longer a doubt. We just hope they are granted this second chance. I should ask my assistant, see what she thinks. Well, the reason. Not just what do you think about it? Because she won't have an opinion.

[F]

Oh, because she's not a person.

[A]

Correct.

[F]

Sometimes you forget that.

[A]

Hello. We're talking about the Menendez case, where Lyle and Eric are possibly going to get parole. What is the argument for why they deserve parole? Hey, there. Yeah.

[H]

So the Menendez brother's possible parole is definitely a big topic. The main argument that people make in favor of them getting parole is basically about how much they've changed and the context of their original crime. Over the years, a lot of their supporters have argued that they were genuinely victims of severe abuse and that they aren't the same people they were when they committed the murders. They've been in prison for decades. They've had no violent incidents while incarcerated, and they've apparently shown a lot of rehabilitation. Essentially, the argument is that they've served a long time. They're not a danger to society now. And given the circumstances of their family situation, some people feel they've earned a second chance. Of course, it's still a controversial topic, and not everyone agrees, but that's the core reasoning behind why some folks think they deserve for all.

[F]

She's good.

[A]

Yeah, she knows what I like.

[F]

That's a good breakdown.

[A]

I do it all the time. That's what I did with my freaking garage.

[F]

Yeah, it's pretty amazing, dude.

[A]

Yeah, it's awesome. Okay, so there's that. The other thing I wanted to do was the Justin Bieber impersonator. Blows my mind. Who tricked people? It blows my mind, huh?

[G]

I was dying watching this.

[A]

This is such a funny story. So there's a Justin Bieber impersonator who tricked Vegas nightclub security into letting him perform.

[C]

Stop.

[A]

And then he ran up a tab that was close to $10,000. Get out. I was laughing. Do you think it's funny?

[G]

Yeah, it was so funny. Because how did nobody realize? I realized as soon as you see him.

[A]

Here is a news story. I'm gonna play this from the Star. 106 FM TikTok.

[G]

So the first, a Justin Bieber impersonator.

[B]

Managed to trick Las Vegas nightclub security into letting him perform several of the pop star's songs on stage before being.

[A]

Kicked out of the venue.

[B]

The imitator, Dylan Desclos sang to a lively crowd at XS nightclub, with DJ Griffin documenting the scam on social media. Desclos and his team ran up a tab of nearly $10,000 on bottle service before being banned for life from entering Wynn Resorts. The incident left clubgoers and staff surprised and disappointed, with Desclos claiming it was his team behind the dec.

[A]

Hilarious big shout out. I don't like them stealing the drinks, but the. The prank is funny. Here's a clip of the Bieber impersonator singing on stage. Go ahead. Kind of sounds like a little. He's a good singer.

[F]

Yeah, he's good.

[A]

Not only that he looks like him. Cuz Bieber has his head shaved now and the guy has his head shaved. He got the little beard Bieber has. He's wearing sunglasses and he's got the outfit all down, all down, the hoodie, everything. It's awesome.

[C]

And he knows the words.

[A]

Yeah. And he had to, like, commit to the bit. And when he's singing, it's just great because he's like, in a club. There's people all around him. The DJ had no idea. The whole time. A lot of people didn't have any idea. He was just pumped. He was on stage with Bieber. Then he finally realizes that. Here's the DJ finding out. It was fake.

[E]

That was insane.

[A]

We gotta talk. That was actually insane.

[E]

Please fake him. No way.

[A]

I swear in my life. I literally thought, like, kind of thought.

[F]

I was like, damn.

[A]

He like put on a lot of.

[F]

Weight since the album dropped because he's a little thicker.

[D]

He's a little thicker?

[A]

Yeah. He's a little like muscular and fatter. Yeah. A, A plus. That's great because he has a shirt off too. Like he has the gray hoodie, but when he's singing he has a shirt off. It doesn't look like he has as many tattoos.

[F]

No.

[A]

As the Beeb's got.

[F]

Beeb's got a lot of tattoos now.

[G]

But I want to know the person who allowed him to get on stage. Like the one person who's like, you know what? Yeah, you're Bieber.

[A]

It had to be like club management in the club who had to make a split decision because I'm sure that stuff happens a Lot where it's like, hey, so and so's here. They want to get on stage and do a couple of things with. Can you get that? Make that possible. It had to be somebody in the club that had to see with his own eyes and make the quick decision because it's like, if you don't let him on, we're going to go somewhere else. Not as a threat, but we want to get him on tonight. And they're like, oh, God, I don't want to be the person that turned Justin Bieber away. Yeah, yeah. Because again, he wanted his big gray hoodie. He's got sunglasses on, the head, shaved. Everything about him looks like Bieber. But then when he takes his clothes off and he's singing, he doesn't have any tattoos.

[C]

Yeah, but I mean, and plus, when you're in a club, it's dark. It's not like they're like, here, let me take off your sunglasses. Let me see. Let me see your id.

[F]

This doesn't look very dark, though.

[A]

There's light.

[C]

Yeah, but that's when he's performing. I'm saying before, like when they're talking to him in the hallway, it's dark probably.

[A]

I think it's funny. It's a hallway they're talking in.

[F]

In a hallway.

[A]

Yeah, in a hallway at the club. A lot of stories about couples sleeping in separate bedrooms lately. I was talking to Derek Spentley about this yesterday. I think the podcast comes out not next week, but the week after, where he doesn't sleep for multiple nights at times, doesn't sleep well, get zero hours sleep. We just kind of talked about our inability to get to a place where we can have restful sleep. And he was like, yeah, I started sleeping in a different room for a while. Like, he's back now, but he's like, I was trying everything to get decent sleep. And so there are reasons because if I wake up at one, I know that I'm be moving around a bunch. I go to the bedroom upstairs just. Or if it's like way late and I got to get up way early, I won't even go in the bedroom. I'll go upstairs because I know it's going to wake my wife up. I know I'm going to be awake. If she does fall asleep after I come in the first time, I'm going to wake her up again. So I'll just sleep in a different room. Now, we generally sleep in the same room unless there are abnormal circumstances. But this story is there are reasons not to sleep in the same bed. Oh, Dirk's even talked about he had two beds for a while. They had two beds. They did two, like, smaller beds, like the 50s. Put it next to each other so him moving around wouldn't affect her.

[F]

Oh, okay. But they were together, though, so, like, they were.

[A]

The beds were pushed together.

[F]

But whatever.

[A]

He.

[F]

Whenever he moved, it wouldn't move her even.

[A]

We talked about. Oh, we had a great conversation, as you can tell. We talked about having separate comforters. Because even if you have two beds, you put one big one over you and you pull it, she's gonna feel it. So you do two comforters. So this whole story is the advantages to still sleeping in the same room. Even though you've heard many times over that maybe there are advantages to not. So it's kind of countering the counter. Sharing a bed with your partner reduces sleep apnea. Not for me. Improves sleep quality. They're just saying general, vague things. Not for me. Generates less fatigue. Here's the 1. Creates overall greater life satisfaction. Now, I would say that my wife thinks we should sleep in the same room in the same bed. We're married.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't care either way because I don't really have good. I don't have good sleep. So if you were to say, sleep on the back porch. If I was comfortable, I'd be fine. If I could get sleep, you'll feel less anxiety and stress, have an easier time falling asleep compared to couples who don't co. Sleep. So I think for general people, it works. It's great. You're with a partner, probably feels comfortable, you're loved. That is somehow a greater feeling, like macro versus micro for me. Who doesn't. Who doesn't sleep? It sucks. Yeah, There you go. Any thoughts? You ever want to have a different room?

[F]

I don't mind it, man. Like, on Saturdays, sometimes I'll watch TV late at night and fall asleep on the couch. And if she doesn't come down and wake me up, I would spend the night on the couch.

[A]

Do you ever.

[F]

No, no. Because she always comes down and be like, are you coming up?

[A]

Oh, she does wake you up.

[F]

So she's much like you. Like, my wife's the one that wants me in that bed.

[A]

But honestly, because I want you on my bed.

[F]

Yeah, I know. Just like you.

[A]

Much like you.

[F]

No, you and your situation. I don't know. I can sleep anywhere, but I don't have a problem sleeping, dude. I can sleep anywhere.

[A]

Yeah. So can lunchbox.

[C]

Yeah. So I don't need a separate bedroom. I Mean, when she's sick, I tell her to get out, but how about.

[A]

You get out if she's sick?

[C]

Well, why would you contaminate our whole room? Go to a different room and contaminate it or that's.

[A]

Well, it's mostly about being comfortable.

[C]

I didn't think about that.

[A]

Like, you're not feeling good, so you want to be in the place that is most comfortable while you're feeling bad.

[C]

That's a good point. I never thought about that. I thought about the contamination and, like, it getting, like, near my toothbrush and stuff. Like, yeah, go in the other room. That way I don't have to see you. But now that you say that, I didn't even think about. It's our normal bed, so maybe she's more comfortable there.

[A]

Yeah. Works. Yeah.

[F]

She's the sick one.

[C]

I start thinking about other people sometime.

[A]

You saw a celebrity at a furniture store.

[F]

Like, they're coming out of a furniture store. I was in the parking lot. My wife was driving, and it was almost like, oh, someone's crossing the street. So she stopped really quick, and I kind of looked up, and I was like, oh, look, that's so. And so is a woman. No.

[A]

Oh, your wife was crossing street.

[F]

No, my wife. No, my wife was driving, and she stopped real quick because this celebrity was crossing the street.

[A]

Got it. Got it. Okay, do we want to. We want to do this or no?

[G]

Yeah, I mean, we already know it's a dude.

[A]

We can just hear who the celebrity is and just cut the whole. Just get to the point where we can play the game.

[F]

I like it when you guys guess, but this is going to be a tricky one. This is going to be tough. It's not your, you know, Chris Lane. It's not that.

[C]

So is it a bigger celebrity?

[F]

I mean. Okay, it's a different kind of celebrity.

[A]

We'll do 20 questions.

[C]

Okay. So it's dude.

[A]

So it's dude. Are they most famous for being online?

[F]

No.

[A]

Okay. Lunchbox.

[C]

Are they most famous from a reality show?

[F]

No.

[G]

Are they an athlete?

[F]

Yes.

[A]

Do they have fame, though, that transcends being just an athlete?

[F]

Like, fame, other than what they did on.

[A]

Well, do people who don't follow sports also know who they are?

[F]

I would say yes.

[A]

Okay. It's four. Yes.

[G]

So, like, I would know who he is.

[F]

I think Morgan would know who he is.

[A]

It's tough if she doesn't. Or to play this game.

[F]

No, I think once you say the person's name, Morgan will be like, oh, I know who that is.

[A]

Okay. Lunchbox.

[C]

Are they married to another celebrity?

[A]

No. How many questions is that? I don't know. Seven, eight?

[F]

Five. Oh, just five?

[A]

Feels like a hundred.

[F]

Yeah.

[G]

Are they over? Under 30?

[F]

I would say over 30.

[A]

You gotta do yes or no.

[F]

Yes. Over 30.

[G]

Oh, yeah. I. I asked it weird. Are they over 30?

[F]

Which. What did she ask?

[G]

Over, under. I was trying to get a trick question in there.

[F]

What's your question? Over 30.

[G]

Are they over 30?

[F]

Yes.

[A]

Did they play a professional sport? One of the big three.

[F]

Big three being? Football, baseball, basketball? Baseball, basketball. No.

[E]

Oh.

[A]

I should have said they play professional sport, because I don't now. I asked two questions and he said no. So I don't even know if they're a professional athlete, like professional or college or. Kind of messed that one up.

[C]

Yeah. They didn't play one of the major ones.

[F]

The three. The three majors? No.

[A]

So. So it's either they didn't play professional or they played hockey, golf, swimming.

[C]

Swimming.

[A]

I know, like, two swimmers.

[H]

I know.

[D]

Phelps and Lochtes.

[C]

Getting real tough, man.

[A]

Phelps and Lochte. That's it.

[E]

You know Ledecky?

[A]

Katie Ledecky? I do. That's three.

[F]

Oh, but that's a girl. Yeah, I said it was a guy.

[A]

And I don't know if Ledecky's 30.

[C]

That's a good point.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

Are they famous from college, like, as being a college athlete?

[F]

No. No.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Ledecky's 28. Phelps is 40.

[F]

Yeah.

[G]

Are they really well known for doing something now?

[F]

He's probably more well known now than. Yeah.

[A]

Than for being an athlete back then.

[F]

Yeah, I would say.

[C]

So what in the world. Cause he's not from online. He's not a reality show. So what would he be famous for? You know what I'm saying? I'm very confused.

[A]

My assumption is he's famous for being an online personality, but I think you said.

[F]

You asked. I said no to that.

[G]

So he used to be an athlete, but he's more famous now.

[A]

But how do you get famous now if you're not.

[G]

I mean, maybe he did something new.

[A]

Like acting or is he in sports now, but just in a different capacity?

[F]

What do you mean?

[A]

That would be like being an analyst, being. No. Okay.

[F]

But I mean, he's still involved somewhat in that sport.

[A]

We're wildly disappointed, guys. I know we're going to be wildly disappointed.

[C]

I mean, gosh. I mean, I. I'm so confused, because it's not one of the major three, but it's more famous now than ever.

[A]

We have 11 questions left.

[F]

I will say. Even my wife was like, oh, yeah, that is. That is him.

[G]

But online.

[C]

But he's not online, so it won't.

[A]

Be a hockey person.

[F]

Is that your question?

[A]

No, it's not my question. Sludge Box's question. It could be a. Think about what the sports could be.

[C]

But he's more known now than when he was doing his sport. But he's not viral. He doesn't do. No, I asked that.

[G]

He wasn't a college athlete, so he was a. Oh, okay, so maybe he.

[C]

Was like a straight to Olympics.

[A]

No.

[G]

Or he was like, just famous.

[B]

Really cool.

[C]

I got it, I got it, I got it. I already know who it is.

[A]

Then say it.

[C]

Scott Hamilton.

[F]

No.

[A]

Okay, Morgan.

[F]

I would say Scott Hamilton was more famous when he was skating.

[A]

For sure. For sure.

[C]

Oh, really?

[G]

Okay. He's over 30. He's.

[C]

I have no clue.

[G]

Does he have kids?

[A]

Yes.

[F]

Yes.

[A]

So if I know. If I say who this person's really famous, though, and I think in my mind who I think it now could.

[F]

Be, but it could be really famous.

[A]

But you were acting like it was a weird one. This person is so famous.

[F]

I'm just. I'm just answering questions.

[A]

And I. I kept associating it with somebody not very famous. We're chasing, like, a B lister.

[F]

You can't blame me for what you were thinking.

[A]

But there's no. I know, I know. But there's. There's no way there would be this person.

[F]

Come on. What do you got? You want to just guess, but what.

[C]

Other athlete would it be?

[A]

The Tony Hawk.

[F]

Oh, that would be cool. No.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

No. I don't know. Lunchbox and I saw him at the Vegas airport one time.

[C]

Yeah, we did. That was pretty cool.

[A]

I thought it'd be weird. He's here, but Tony Hawk's really famous.

[F]

Yes. I would say this guy's probably about the same. Maybe a little less. Maybe less.

[G]

Wait, so that. I mean, that puts us on, like, the track of, like, Orion Sheckler, who was here recently?

[A]

I don't know.

[F]

Who's that?

[G]

He's a. He's skateboarder.

[F]

I'll tell you right now. I don't know who that is.

[G]

Oh, okay. Well, we have a path of skateboarding.

[A]

On the way down. Who's that? Ryan Cabrera.

[C]

Oh, he's an athlete. I can't get over this. He's an athlete.

[F]

What do you mean you can't get over it?

[C]

But he's not. Three major sport. The three major sports. And you recognize this person?

[F]

Come on.

[C]

Lionel Messi.

[F]

No. That'd be cool, though.

[A]

Morgan.

[C]

I don't know where to go now.

[F]

I'm starting to think. Now you guys are going to be disappointed. Like, after all this, I'm starting to think, like, man, what are the sports?

[A]

What are we?

[F]

What are we?

[A]

We just say it's not basketball, football, or baseball. Like, that's not what.

[G]

We don't know the other.

[F]

No, a lot of other sports.

[G]

Are you trying to be like, he plays pickleball or something?

[A]

Like, I'm gonna be a tennis player.

[F]

I know all you guys know who this is. All you guys is.

[A]

Has.

[G]

Okay, wait, has Bobby done anything with him, hung out with him, interviewed him, anything of the sort?

[F]

That's a good question. I know.

[A]

Eddie has his lion face on, by the way.

[F]

You probably. What can I say? You probably talked to him. I don't know if you've. Maybe you've met him. I'm not.

[C]

Well, have you talked to him, then? You've not.

[F]

Sure. I'm not sure. Honestly, I don't know the answer to that question. I think that you have not.

[A]

He's like, I have not.

[F]

Because I've talked to you about this and I don't think you've met him. Maybe you did. I don't know.

[A]

So you don't know the answer?

[F]

I don't know the answer.

[A]

You genuinely don't know the answer.

[F]

If you did, I wasn't there.

[E]

So.

[A]

You can ask another question.

[G]

Okay.

[A]

Ask if he's like, a white guy or black guy. That's one of them.

[F]

That's what the detectives do.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Is he a white guy?

[F]

Yes.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

What do you mean by white?

[A]

Okay.

[G]

Wait, does he play golf?

[F]

Yes.

[G]

Okay.

[A]

But he's more famous now, so if he's a. He played golf.

[C]

And Morgan's gonna know who this is.

[A]

Yeah, there's only a few, but.

[C]

Oh, I know who it is.

[A]

Oh, you said that four times, though.

[E]

I know.

[A]

Who is it now?

[C]

John Daly.

[F]

John Daly.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

John Daly.

[A]

That's cool.

[F]

That's pretty cool.

[A]

I know. I've met John. Yes, I've spent time with John Daly.

[F]

But I've never been there when you did.

[A]

Yeah, the last time I saw him was at Jake's event where him and I went and talked for a long time.

[F]

That's a good point. And I was there for that. I'm an idiot.

[G]

Didn't you guys, like, you were at Arkansas game or something?

[A]

Yeah, well, that too. Yeah.

[F]

Yeah, I'm an idiot. I was there for that Jake event where he played and everything.

[A]

Yeah, we sang with Darius, who didn't play.

[F]

That's an awesome night.

[A]

That's an awesome night.

[F]

Can't believe I forgot about that.

[G]

I don't know that I would recognize him in person. I know that name.

[F]

Oh, you really?

[G]

I don't know that I would, like, see him and be like, that's John Daly.

[F]

Do you understand what I was saying, though, with, like, the. He's kind of more famous now than he was.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, he was just Adam Sandler. Happy Gilmore, too. Yeah, he is. I agree.

[F]

Drinking hand sand.

[A]

I think fame's different now.

[F]

Yes.

[C]

So did you talk to him?

[F]

No, man. He was just walking in front of the car.

[A]

I wrote a song with you.

[F]

Well, no, my wife and I were kind of in an argument at the time, so we didn't even really enjoy it. Just like, that's John Dalen. She's like, so what? Like, oh, yeah, that is him. But whatever. And then we kept arguing again.

[A]

Where was he?

[F]

Coming out of a furniture store, like him and his wife.

[A]

Oh, it was the actual furniture store. Just wasn't, like, in front of a furniture store.

[F]

No, they were walking out, crossing the street, going to the parking lot.

[A]

That's fun.

[F]

That's pretty.

[A]

Dude.

[F]

I don't know. Every time you see a celebrity in the wild like that, it's just pretty cool.

[A]

Yeah, that's fine. That's fine.

[E]

All right.

[F]

I wish it was Tiger woods or something. You guys been like, you saw Tiger Woods?

[A]

Yeah. That'd be crazy. The most fun states to visit in America. Go. Five of them.

[F]

Hawaii.

[A]

Didn't make the list.

[G]

New York.

[A]

Number five. Yes.

[E]

Florida.

[A]

Number two. Yep.

[C]

California.

[A]

Number one.

[F]

Texas.

[A]

No.

[F]

What?

[A]

Nevada. Yeah. Three.

[G]

Nevada is number three.

[A]

So California, Florida. Nevada. One, two, three. New York at five. What's four?

[G]

Was Arizona on that list?

[C]

Oregon?

[F]

Illinois.

[A]

Correct.

[F]

Chicago.

[A]

Chicago. Oh, least fun.

[F]

Oh, there's really nothing, man.

[A]

You're out of that one.

[F]

Kind of fun.

[A]

Why would you be out?

[C]

Mississippi.

[A]

Mississippi. 50, 49, 48. 47th on the list of fun.

[C]

Arkansas.

[A]

50Th. That's the least fun.

[F]

Least fun. I've had fun in Arkansas.

[C]

Alabama.

[A]

Yeah, screw you guys. Least fun. Bottom five. West Virginia.

[C]

Male Note.

[A]

Mississippi. Rhode Island. Delaware. Arkansas.

[G]

I've heard Arkansas has really cool hikes and stuff, though.

[A]

You've heard? I live there. I talk about it all the time.

[F]

I know, but, like, so she heard from you.

[A]

Mountain pine. Never heard of it. Man wins $200,000 in the lottery using numbers from a license plate. A Maryland man took inspiration from another vehicle's license plate, bought a pick five lottery ticket that earned him $200,000.

[F]

Lunchbox, what are you doing?

[C]

Well, I don't understand because not all license plates have number. They don't have enough numbers. So I don't know what that means unless they're all numbers in that state.

[A]

I was going to work and stopped at a red light in Charlotte hall and I noticed a tag on a trunk. 19363. He used those numbers. Yeah, because ours have three numbers, three letters. Yes.

[C]

So that's why I haven't done it. Eddie. Maybe I'll start looking.

[F]

But, Lunchbox, if you saw, like.

[C]

Like, if a car cut me off, that's maybe a sign I should get those numbers and go play him.

[F]

Like, what were those numbers?

[C]

1-19-3-3673.

[F]

Say, those are the numbers. Those are all individual numbers, though, right? Like, didn't the lottery go to, like, 50?

[C]

Yeah, but he could have played, like, a pick 10 or whatever. It's only one zero through nine or one through nine. Whatever.

[F]

Okay.

[C]

There's different variations of the game, if you didn't know that.

[F]

I mean, I don't play that often, though.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

New survey found the perfect salary for the average American.

[C]

What do you mean, perfect?

[F]

Single American, like a single person. Right. Not like a family man who has got four kids.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, I think. I don't think they're picking one over the other. I think it's just the average, average American salary. Because, again, if you have two people working, that would be double the salary.

[F]

Yeah, better.

[A]

So according to report, the average American says the perfect salary is blank.

[C]

125, Eddie.

[A]

$174,000.

[E]

Whoa.

[A]

Perfect salary. If you ask me, perfect. I'm just gonna go as high as I possibly can until they go, no, no, it's too high. Gotta come down.

[F]

I was just trying to get it.

[A]

In case it's like a game, like a tiktoker. It's gonna give me the money, whatever I say. Oh, yeah, Yeah. I wanna go as high as possible. What's the perfect salary? And they have to phone out 5 million. Okay, I guess we'll give that to you. So according to a report, the average American says the Perfect salary is $74,000. It's unclear why the perfect amount isn't higher, especially with how expensive everything is. But it's possible they were just asking for the sweet spot where you'd be able to make ends meet comfortably. That said, 19% of people said they need to make at least $100,000. I think a big part of the answer to this question is where you live. If you live in New York, you live in Los Angeles, you live in Chicago, things are much, much, much more expensive. If you live in Mountain Pine, things are way less expensive in the rural parts of the country.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

So I thought that was pretty interesting. I wonder. Let me ask my assistant this, because I think this would be interesting to know. Come on. Internet. Our Internet sucks. It's after 10, so it sucks. Hello. I'm wondering what the average salary is in the United States and also the median salary.

[F]

What is that?

[A]

Bad Internet.

[H]

So right now, the median salary in the US is around 62,000 a year. The average salary tends to be a bit higher than the median just because very high earners pull that number up. But in general, that gives you a ballpark idea of what people are making on average versus the midpoint.

[A]

So around 60, do you have the difference in average and median?

[F]

I'm assuming that the median is right down the middle. Like, what? Get the highest and the lowest.

[A]

That's average.

[F]

Oh, that's not the median.

[A]

The average. The average is putting them all in and then averaging it out. But the median is different because the billionaires could actually shift the average much higher. Like, a couple could shift the average much higher. I could probably let her tell it better. Let's.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

We're struggling. Crazy. She's not even answering. Connection failed. I think she died. I think her name. Both.

[F]

Oh, no.

[A]

Didn't show up.

[F]

She's been hanging out with Amy.

[E]

Dang.

[A]

Let's try one more time. Can you explain average versus median? Like, we're five years old.

[H]

Absolutely. So think of a bunch of kids and how many cookies each one has. The average is like if we took all the cookies from everyone, put them in a pile, and then shared them out, so each kid got the same number. That's the average. The median's a little different. We line all the kids up from the one with the fewest cookies to the one with the most cookies, and we see who's in the middle. However many cookies that middle kid has, that's the median. So it's just the middle number. If you line everyone up by how many cookies they have.

[F]

Yeah, I was kind of right.

[A]

You're not kind of. You're not boiling it down and doing average or just. Because what's happening is those really high numbers can inflate that average number.

[F]

Yeah, but the cookies, though, like, if you.

[A]

Same thing.

[F]

But the Median is the middle number. So you got all the billionaires and then the people that don't have a lot of money, and you go right in the middle line, boom. This is the median. But the average is. Take all of that stuff and then divvy it up right into how many people there are in the world. And then. Or in America, whatever.

[A]

We're doing cookies still. Or not. You went from cookies back to America.

[F]

The kids with their cookies.

[A]

Okay, so there's that. Let me see if there's anything else that I want to get to.

[F]

Who's on your shirt?

[A]

Andy Kaufman.

[F]

Ah, okay. I just saw his hair.

[A]

Drink on me. It's rough morning this morning.

[F]

Sorry, man.

[A]

I text my wife, like, it's power back. She's like, yeah, finally.

[F]

Did you get dressed in the dark and everything?

[A]

Dude, it's daylight. It gets daylight a little earlier. It does. Although that crap changes fast. I know. Sucks. Men are still paying thousands to get their legs broken and lengthened. Lengthening surgeries are happening. Used to only be for medical corrections, but now guys are just spending a ton of money to do it. This guy Frank, 38 years old, paid $32,000 to go and have this done. He was five foot six and he was able to add what, three, four inches?

[F]

You know, we're lucky, dude. We're six foot, you know, you're. What are you, six, one, six, one? Like, we're lucky. We're at a good height. But I'm sure it's tougher. People like Ray that just shorter.

[A]

Ray, do you think about that all the time? No, I think about how you guys are below the average height. I mean, we're all short. No, the average height, I believe, is like 5, 9 or 5, 10. Right. But if you and me walk median. Median and average, what's the median? I'm taller than most people. Right. But if we walk down the street, I don't think most people, oh, my gosh, Eddie is tall. No, that's not the question. The question isn't, is he so tall that he strikes people as a giant? But it's, are you taller than. The Average height is 5 foot 9?

[F]

So I'm above average.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

So. So, Ray, basically, people see me on the street, they're like, oh, that guy's just average height.

[A]

But no, they look slightly above average. I would say they don't look at you and go, that guy's short at all. They don't think anything of it because you're close. And people don't think I'm exceptionally Tall. Sometimes people go, oh, you're taller than I expected from pictures. And I'm like, well, how tall was your picture?

[F]

That's a good point.

[A]

So I just wonder if you thought about that a lot. No, I think about when I had plantar fasciitis and how I couldn't run, and if I got this surgery and my feet felt anything like it felt when I had plantar fasciitis. We did that basketball scrimmage, and I had to say, guys, I'm stepping out on this, when I literally can't even walk on my feet. That was the worst thing I've ever had to go through. So, yeah, if your feet work, don't mess with God. That's my thing. But you're. You're getting hair transplant stuff done. That's messing with God in the same way that. I mean, that's like face stuff. It's my own blood. You're manipulating your body, though. Unless it's my own muscle or whatever rods are putting in my leg, that's kind of. I agree. One's a little more severe, but you're manipulating your own body. If you're saying, don't mess with God, you're doing things to yourself. Well, I meant that. It's just kind of just like a general statement. But when your feet. I mean, if the hair thing goes wrong, what's the worst that could happen? My hair falls out? That your feet fall off? Well, you get a blood clot, right? It doesn't matter if you do this.

[F]

Surgery and you have longer legs and then you have a baby, do they have longer legs now? Because.

[E]

No.

[A]

It's like people who get a lot of facework done and they have a kid don't look like them. It's like, yeah, duh, the kid didn't get surgery in utero. Okay, good point.

[F]

But that DNA doesn't change because you.

[A]

Changed your body, not because there were cuts and manipulations.

[F]

Now, what if, like, you know, we start working out more?

[A]

I get ripped, Then I have a baby. There's a difference. Because your body has changed. Your body, your internal, your cellular makeup has changed in different ways. So. Could it? Yes. Does it for sure? Nobody knows. Or. I'm sure somebody. They have an idea. But I don't think it's ever been proven one way or the other. But if you're much healthier, let's just use healthy. Your body's producing a healthier sperm.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Because you're healthier. If your wife is healthier, her egg is healthy. So yes, that will affect it.

[F]

Wow, that's cool. I wish I would have known that when I had kids.

[A]

Would you? Got ripped up.

[F]

I would have been healthier and more ripped up. Yeah. Yeah. Worked out my whole life.

[A]

Probably saved a little money too, huh?

[F]

All that.

[A]

Yeah. If you'd only known then what you know now.

[F]

Just go back, man.

[A]

Yeah. Let me ask one final question to my assistant about that. Yes, Internet sucks, though, about the DNA question. If you are healthier whenever you have a kid, meaning you're extremely muscular, you've been working out really hard, does that affect the DNA or the genetics of the baby coming out versus if you were extremely overweight?

[H]

So the short answer is that your fitness.

[A]

Oh, could you. Could you repeat that, please?

[H]

Of course. So basically the average is like taking all the cookies that each.

[F]

No, not that one. We figured that one out.

[A]

Come on. It's crazy.

[E]

We have.

[A]

We work in a media company and the Internet doesn't work. Let me just turn the Internet off and see if I can better sell. I asked a question a minute ago about genetics and muscles, if you remember that question. Could you give me that answer again?

[H]

Absolutely. So just to circle back to that, we were talking about how genetics can influence muscle growth. In a nutshell, your genes do play a role in things like muscle fiber type, your recovery speed, and even how easily you put on muscle. But while genetics set the stage, your training, nutrition and consistency are huge factors in what you actually achieve. Let me know if you need more details.

[F]

Different.

[A]

Yeah, let me ask the question a bit different. If I were to have a baby and I was 6 1, 175 pounds of shredded muscle, versus if I were to have a baby five years later and I was 61190 and was overweight, would that affect the baby?

[H]

Ah, gotcha. So the short answer is that your physical shape at the time you conceive doesn't directly influence the baby's genetics. Basically, your genes are your genes. So whether you're super fit or a bit out of shape when you conceive, that doesn't really change the genetic blueprint you pass on. Of course, being healthy in general is good for fertility and all that, but the baby's genetics themselves won't be different just because you've gained or lost weight. Let me know if that helps.

[A]

It does help. Dang, that's crazy. So if I were to try to have a baby, and I was six 1, 290 pounds, extremely overweight for my body type, would that affect a baby?

[H]

Yeah. So that's A great question, and it is kind of wild. The genetics themselves still won't change, but if you're at a much higher weight, there can be some influences on things like fertility or even on the health of the pregnancy. For example, there's some research that suggests a father's overall health can have a small impact on things like the pregnancy environment or even certain epigenetic factors. Basically, how genes are expressed, but the core genetic material is still the same. In other words, your genes don't rewrite themselves if you gain a bunch of weight. It's more about overall health and how that might influence the pregnancy rather than the baby's actual genes. So it's always good to be as healthy as you can, but the genetic code is pretty stable.

[A]

What about if someone has a whole bunch of plastic surgery and then they have a baby? Does the baby look like their old version of themselves?

[H]

Yeah, that's a fun one to think about. So plastic surgery is basically just changing the outer appearance, not the underlying DNA. So no matter how many tweaks or changes someone makes to their looks, their genes still carry the original blueprint. So if they have a baby, that baby's gonna inherit the genes of the person as they were born, not the surgically altered version, in other words. Yeah, the baby's likely to resemble the old version genetically. It's all about what's in the DNA, not the cosmetic changes.

[F]

Wow.

[A]

Pretty interesting.

[F]

It is interesting. All I hear is that we're just kind of. We are who we are.

[A]

We're kind of screwed. Yeah.

[F]

I mean, it is what it is.

[A]

Yeah. We are. We are Youth of a Nation. That's your next one, Scuba Pod.

[D]

[F]

[A]

[H]

I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from.

[B]

Improved insight about ourselves and who we.

[H]

Are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody.
