Main Segments & Key Discussions

1. CMA Winner Predictions

Starts: 02:49

• Approach: Bobby clarifies he’s making predictions based on data, not personal preference, emphasizing the vast, varied CMA voting body.

• Category-by-Category Picks:

  • Entertainer of the Year: Morgan Wallen
    “Morgan Wallen should win. He should be the entertainer of the year.” — Cruz (03:19)
  • Album of the Year:
    • Lean toward Morgan Wallen due to massive streaming numbers and his trendsetting, massive album drops.
    • Noted how Wallen’s Canadian tour is so in-demand, merch booths open 24 hours before shows.
  • Male Vocalist:
    • Luke Combs (since Bobby already has Wallen for Entertainer), with a nod to Stapleton and Cody Johnson.
  • Female Vocalist:
    • Megan Moroney — Bobby says she’s the artist he'd invest in if artists had stock: “She is already a superstar” (05:21)
  • Single of the Year:
    • Predicted win: Ella Langley & Riley Green due to two fanbases/industry teams.
    • Bobby notes this dynamic often shifts votes: “It does help when you have two different groups all voting for you” (06:15)
  • New Artist of the Year:
    • Zach Topp or Ella Langley
    • Laments the fuzzy definition of “new artist”: “If you lose, you should be eliminated. When you win, you should be eliminated from new artist…You get one shot at new artist.” (08:19)
  • Duo Overlook:
    • Parmalee and LoCash snubbed despite regular chart success, highlighting the oddities of country award categories.

• Fun Aside:
  Bobby and fellow hosts joke about how confusing various award show acronyms are (ACM, CMA) and their "gold/silver" trophies. (09:26 onwards)

  Update on a NY wedding theft—$60k in stolen gifts.

---

6. Conspiracy Corner: Helen Keller and Shakespeare Scepticism

Starts: 49:25

Helen Keller: Real, But Overhyped?

• Bobby expresses skepticism about the extent of Helen Keller’s achievements, not her existence.

  • Fellow host: “How does she—if she can’t see or hear, how would she even know to do anything?” — Guest (51:12)
  • “I just don’t think the saga of Helen Keller is completely accurate. But I could be wrong.” — Cruz (53:05)
• Discussion of how history (especially pre-media era) could be skewed: “You could just make up whatever you wanted. Before, like, 1938…if enough people agreed with you, it became truth.” — Cruz (53:13)

Shakespeare: Was He a Frontman?

• Bobby’s other theory: “I also don’t think Shakespeare was real.” — Cruz (53:50)
  • Touches on common authorship theories (Edward de Vere as the true author, for instance).
  • Brings in AI assistant to list reasons why some believe Shakespeare didn’t write "his" plays:
    • Lack of formal education
    • No direct evidence connecting writings to the man from Stratford
    • Class snobbery (being a playwright wasn’t "classy")
    • General historical anomalies
    • “The idea that Shakespeare might have been a pen name or a collective pseudonym is one of those literary conspiracies that keeps going because it’s just a fun puzzle for people to debate.” — AI Assistant (55:43)
  • Noted: The Earl of Oxford (Edward de Vere) died just as Shakespeare’s new works stopped appearing (57:16)

Quotes & Notable Moments

• “Who’s more real: Helen Keller or Shakespeare?” — Guest (58:56)

Mr. Bobby Bones CMA's dropped their nominations yesterday, so I'll give you the category. And I'll tell you who, based on data, should win. Not my pick or my favorite, but who I think should win based on the reality of the landscape of country music. That being said, you have to understand there are thousands of people that vote in this. This is not a board that votes and elects. And so when people get mad at the CMAs, it's not 11 people in a boardroom. It's managers, agents, hundreds of people in radio. It's any tor all these people that work in the industry. You can be a member of the CMA and you vote. It's thousands of people. So it's not 11 people trying to screw somebody over. There are those, but this is not that. Entertainer of the year nominees are Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Chris Stapleton. Who should win? Morgan Wallen. You never know who's going to win because different reasons, but Morgan Wallen should win. He should be the entertainer of the Year album of the year. And I don't really have a for sure on this one. Something that I would go plant my flag in because a lot of these could win. Megan Maroney. Am I okay? Zach Topp, Cole Beer and country music. Post Malone F1 trillion. Morgan Wallen. I'm the problem Whirlwind. Lainey Wilson, probably Morgan Wallen. It's just streamed so much. And he does. He was the first one to really do 700 songs on an album. And then you have all those streams. Those all count. Because for a long time I was like, we'll do an EP because people don't care. He was like, well, while you're zigging, I'm gonna zag and I'm gonna do 42 songs on an album. It really worked out well for him, obviously. I saw yesterday he's playing in Canada. I think his tour's up in Canada now. And they open the merch stand a day before the shows even start. Oh, it's how in demand. Yeah. He's like, the thing was, the merch booths will be open 24 hours before the show.

[Amy]

That's insane.

[Cruz]

It's insane. Yeah.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Cruz]

Male vocalist of the year. This award is not what this award says, because if it were Male vocalist of the year, it would just be about the male that was the best singer. It's not that. It's kind of the Junior Varsity award for entertainer of the year, because female vocalist is the same Junior Varsity award for entertainer of the Year. So it's kind of like second place. Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Zach Topp. Who? I'm gonna take Morgan out because I think he's one entertainer. It's Luke Combs should probably win that award. Or Stapleton, obviously. I like all those guys. I like Cody Johnson a lot. But female vocalist, again, this is. If you don't win entertainer of the Year, you should probably win this one. Laney. Ella Langley, Megan Maroney, Kelsey Ballerini, Miranda Lambert. Really probably Megan Maroney. She's not up for entertainer of the Year, but she. I mean, if I were investing in a. An artist stock and. Well, I won't even say female, but it could be female. I'd invest in Megan Roney the most. Like, she is already a superstar. So. Megan Maroney there. Single of the year. This is just Preference. Lainey Wilson. 4x4 by you. Luke Combs. Ain't no love in Oklahoma. Megan Maroney. Am I okay? Zach Top. I never lie. You look like you love me. Ella Langley and Riley Greene. Now, who will probably win? Ella Langley and Riley Green. Because they have two voting bases.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, yeah. Two artists.

[Cruz]

So you have both labels. I'm not even sure if they're on the same label. Different imprints, different management companies, different. They're all going to vote for that. So that those songs like that win a lot. And that's kind of why. One of the reasons she won all the awards, I think maybe the ACMs last year. Not that the song was bad, but. But it does help when you have two different groups all voting for you. Or two. I say fan bases, but because it's not fan. It's a fan Awarded Vote. Who should win single of the year again? Don't really have a dog in this fight where I would just plant the flag. Obviously, I'm a big Megan Maroney guy. That Luke Combs song was massive, though.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Ain't no love.

[Amy]

I know. But also not my favorite from him. My preference.

[Cruz]

Yeah. Song of the year. I don't care. New artist of the year. Zach Topp. Ella langley. Steven Wilson Jr. Tucker Wetmore. Shaboozi. New artist is weird because it's kind of the junior Junior varsity. It's the junior varsity of, like, male and female and they cram them all together. But it's also like, who's new?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Did Shaboozie win last year?

[Cruz]

I don't know.

[Amy]

His song maybe, but do you think he won new orders?

[Cruz]

You could argue. Four out of these five.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, yeah, easy.

[Cruz]

And I think Stephen Wilson Jr. Is great, but I don't think he has the heart of a bunch of major record label people. They're gonna put it. Put. Put it behind him.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. He didn't take home an award. He just performed it.

[Cruz]

Like, I like Steven Wilson Jr. A lot, and I would probably pick him if it was just personal preference, but I don't think he has really the. The major label support where they want their personal win so they can sell more major label records.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

And use that. I mean, probably Zach Topp wins that. Ella Langley's one of those two. Probably win it. I think Shaboozi's been around a while now.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Cruz]

And so I think some of that stuff's not even success based. It's okay. You've been around for like two and a half years now. But Shabuzzi can win it too. So Megan Maroney, she won it last year, but she's not in it this year, right? Yeah, she won it last year. Other nominees were Shabuzzi, Nate Smith, Mitchell Tenpenny, Zach Topp, and Bailey Zimmerman. I think they should. If you lose, you should be eliminated. When you win, you should be eliminated from new artists. Not from all categories. But you're not new anymore. You get one shot at new artists.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I feel like they got a couple years, though, right?

[Cruz]

Like, but you're not new anymore.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, you're not new.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You're new.

[Cruz]

Ish. We should have a second category. New ish artist year. November 19th. ABC snubs, Parmalee. They had another number one this year. All they do is put out number ones. Kane Brown, Low Cash. They had another number one this year. They have, like, a top five song played. And they didn't even make the duo list.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Love, Low Cash.

[Cruz]

And there are.

[Amy]

How do they not make the duo list?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's crazy.

[Cruz]

I know.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Because there aren't a lot of duos.

[Amy]

That's why they should make the list.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's what I'm saying.

[Cruz]

No, you answered that in a way. That was the opposite.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I meant, like, your tone was the.

[Cruz]

Opposite of what you said.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Tell us what, we should make that list.

[Cruz]

Yeah, it's weird that Lokesh didn't make the list. All right. Also, like, there are just too many letters and too many award shows.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Letters.

[Cruz]

Yeah, ACMs, CMAs acronyms. Yeah. And here I am. I have to explain it a lot of the times. And honestly, if I wasn't in the business, I wouldn't know the difference. I wouldn't care. The CMAs are old school, a little more old money. The ACM's more new money. A Little more cutting edge, A little more not anymore. But they start in California now. They're obviously here, but it's a little younger.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

When I was younger, I would differentiate them with gold and silver. Like, ACMs got a gold tone to it. Everything about ACMs the trophy is kind of gold. The graphics are always golden, and the CMAs are like silver, like, clear. The trophy's like glass.

[Amy]

So our ACM awards are silver hats, and then the CMAs are glass. And I know they're glass because I'm broken too.

[Guest/Caller]

Well, good job, Eddie.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, that's just how I would remember them. One is silverish and one's goldish.

[Cruz]

I didn't know the difference.

[Amy]

Maybe on the tv, that's what they.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Look like to him.

[Cruz]

I told my wife yesterday, you saying on the TV reminds me of yesterday when I said, check card. And so my wife and I went to Sonic yesterday, and I said, hey. I was pulling in, and I was like, I don't have any cash and I don't have my check card. And then I said, oh. I said, check card on the show. And they thought I was weird. And she goes, yeah. Who says that? And I'm like, well. I asked her, what was our association with check card? She goes, old people say that. And I said, well. She goes, well, yeah, but. Or people from extremely small towns. She goes, and that makes sense where you're from. Very rural check card. But I said, it's in my. It connects to my checking account. It's my check card. She's like, that's fine, papaw. But most people call it a debit card. So I asked her the same question. Now, she didn't come out and volunteer and, like, strike me down. I asked to be struck down because she doesn't really listen to the show. She didn't know we talked about. Yeah, But I was like, what do you think about check card? She goes, oh. People say that? I said, oh. Got it. Top five haunted crime scenes in the United States. It's already Sept. Next month is freaking Halloween.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Really?

[Cruz]

Gosh. Number five. The Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, infamous for multiple murder suicides and the mysterious 2013 death of Elisa Lam. She was one that's found in the water tank. The rooftop water tank.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

How long ago was that?

[Cruz]

2013.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Wow.

[Amy]

It was longer ago than I thought.

[Cruz]

Also connected to the serial killer Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. Guests have reported eerie presences, unexplained noises, and shadowy figures.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Is the Night Stalker the Jake Gyllenhaal movie no, that's Nightcrawler. Oh, great movie, though.

[Cruz]

That's a good one. Yeah, the Cameraman. That's a good one.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

No, no, no, the one with the game show one.

[Amy]

Oh, that's Woman of the Hour.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, but isn't that him?

[Cruz]

Oh, I never watched it.

[Guest/Caller]

That's such a good one.

[Cruz]

The movie's good.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, yeah, it's good, dude.

[Amy]

Oh, I couldn't finish it because I was getting too creeped out.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It's a creepy movie because it's so like.

[Cruz]

Is that it, Mike? Is that the guy? Richard?

[Amy]

He was so nice. Like, I see how these girls were like. Okay, fine, you can take my picture.

[Cruz]

No, that guy's Rodney. Rodney. Akala.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

This is a different person.

[Cruz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Today is not your day.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

No, man, I'm just throwing darts. Yeah, they're not sticking.

[Cruz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

That game show movie one is really good.

[Amy]

Well, I'm never going to a desert to have photographs taken.

[Cruz]

Yeah, you shouldn't photograph check card. You're not gonna get photographs taken. Well, get your picture made.

[Amy]

Yeah, to get my picture made. No, she was clearly. He was a photographer, so that's why I said it that way. It wasn't just, like, your friends taking pictures. It was like.

[Cruz]

But even photographs. Not photographs, photographs.

[Amy]

I feel that's an elevated.

[Guest/Caller]

Someone that says pictures.

[Cruz]

I think check card's elevated, too. Losers.

[Amy]

Okay, that's what we say when people.

[Cruz]

Make fun of us. It's an elevated version of the things that you say. Yeah, well, good. I agree. Don't go to the desert and have your photograph taken.

[Amy]

Do not do that, because then you're just too vulnerable.

[Cruz]

Number four, the Lalori mansion. In New Orleans in the 1830s, socialite Madame Delphini Lalaurie had a house. The house was discovered to hold tortured, enslaved people in horrific conditions.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, my goodness.

[Cruz]

Wow. Though not a single crime scene, the atrocities inside shock the city. The mansion is said to be one of the most haunted spots in New Orleans. Holy crap. Do you ever wonder, like, in a neighborhood, like, what basement's got crap? Like, some crap going down in it?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah. And we just drive by all the time. Yeah.

[Cruz]

We don't even know. Number three, The Lizzie Borden house. You know Lizzie Borden, right? And the rhyme. The Lizzie Borden rhyme. Anybody know the Lizzie Borden rhyme?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Nope.

[Cruz]

In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were hacked to death with an ax. Daughter Lizzie was accused but acquitted, and the case remains unsolved. The home is now a bed and breakfast, with guests reporting footsteps, whispers and Shadowy figures.

[Guest/Caller]

I turned it into a bed and breakfast.

[Cruz]

Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh, this is terrible.

[Cruz]

But she ended up not doing it. And I think anywhere you go, if you say somebody was murdered here, or there were 19 people murdered here, even if there weren't. And then you ask people the next day, hey, any shadowy figures? Any sounds? Yeah. So haunted. The Vasila Axe murder house.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Familiar?

[Cruz]

That's the one we sent lunchbox to. In 1912, eight people, including six children, were brutally murdered with an ax. The killer was never caught. Visitors today report children's voices, moving objects, and doors opening on their own. Think about this. Eight people, including six children, were murdered with an ax. It doesn't seem that real because we don't have, like, documentation of it, like a news story about it. It seems like something from Christopher Columbus days. But that. That's brutal and sad and terrible.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes, it's terrible.

[Cruz]

The Amityville house. This is from the Amityville Horror, like the movie 1974. Ronald DeFeo Jr. Murdered his parents and four siblings inside the house. A year later, the Lutz family moved in, claiming they were being tormented by violent paranormal activity. The story inspired the Amityville horror book and films. Okay, so if there's a house and one person was murdered in it, and they gave me a great deal, I think I would take the house. If there was a house where four people have been murdered, like four siblings and a parent. No chance. No chance.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

So four is the number for you?

[Cruz]

It may be three or two. I don't know. One I think I could do. I think people get killed in a lot of places. I don't know the story behind it, and maybe there was some, you know, some Menendez brother type stuff where they came and did it because they were being tortured and I don't know the story, but four, That's a psycho that went in and just did some murdering. I couldn't do that house. I could do one. I think people die in houses all the time.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes, but not murdered.

[Amy]

Well, yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

I mean, yeah, dying.

[Cruz]

Natural causes, it is a bit different, but I think dying is dying, but like a slaughter of multiple people. Not there for that.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

So you may not know the answer to this, but if you get murdered in a house and you're a spirit, you're a ghost.

[Cruz]

I don't know the answer to this because already by the setup, I'm not going to know the Answer.

[Guest/Caller]

Because he's not a spirit.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

But you may know the answer.

[Cruz]

Okay, go ahead. I'll give you my best guess.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Would you stay there? Like, I don't want to stay where I got murdered.

[Cruz]

Well, you are assuming that a spirit or a ghost could only be in one place at one time. Like, that is the movie assumption you're basing that on. Mm.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

So if one. One spirit, one location. That's kind of what I'm thinking.

[Cruz]

And you're also confining the spirit to the physical restrictions that we have with our organic bodies. Meaning if you're this spirit, you can only be in one place. But if you're able to, like, spread out and you could be in a thousand places at once, that'd be awesome. Like, who I. But no, if I was a spirit.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I wouldn't want to be in my house where I got murdered.

[Cruz]

I'd be a freaking six flag.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Exactly.

[Cruz]

I mean, I'd be a lot of places I never got to go, so I don't know the answer to that.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

But that's a good answer. Thank you.

[Cruz]

Yeah. But there could be a part of you. We don't know the rules. There could be a part of you that is that. That one little part of you is always there while the other parts of you are out doing all the things you wanted to do. But you could be, like, tethered to the place you were murdered. We don't know the spirit rules.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Like, that's a rule. You got it. Part of you has to stay there.

[Cruz]

Like, you are tethered to the place where you died.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Or what if, like, you're tethered to the place. Every place that you've been to in your life.

[Amy]

What?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You're tethered there. Have you ever went to the.

[Cruz]

That's interesting.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

And you rode that roller coaster.

[Cruz]

Texas Giant all the way there for the first. As soon as they open, I was like. I got to the Texas Giant, and I was like, let's go. I've been waiting to do this my whole life. It sucked. It didn't even go upside down.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes.

[Cruz]

I have to live that over and over again.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's part of you there.

[Cruz]

The Orient Express. That's a solid one at Six Flex. Yeah. That thing went upside down, and I get really sick. But I'll do a roller coaster.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It's worth it.

[Cruz]

Yeah. I don't know the rules on spirits.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You know, we'll find out, I guess.

[Guest/Caller]

Shocking. You don't know the answer to that, man.

[Cruz]

Yeah, it's weird. You may not Know the answer to this. But in case you do the morning routine that will help you live to 100, there's seven things here, Amy. How many do you do? Number one, drink a glass of water.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Cruz]

Check purposefully.

[Amy]

Right when I wake up, I put it on my bedside table for you.

[Cruz]

I probably do most times, but I don't with intention. Go grab water to drink to check it off the list. That's good that you do. Hydrating right away sets you up for the day. It helps with digestion. A big part of my. A part, not big. A part of my digestion issues were also not drinking enough water. Because if you don't enough water, like lubrication for your food, it doesn't digest well. Oh, so that could be part of a reason you're constipated, is you're not drinking enough water.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Cruz]

Which I didn't know that. Do you eat a nutrient dense breakfast?

[Amy]

Not always. If I have smoothies, then yes. I feel like I'm getting a very nutrient dense. Because you can pack a lot of things in there.

[Cruz]

Things like yogurt, oatmeal, berries and nuts are great choices.

[Amy]

Oh, or smoothies. They didn't say that.

[Cruz]

I think smoothie counts as all that because a smoothie can be anything.

[Amy]

It can be all those things in a blender.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You throw nuts in your smoothie.

[Amy]

Yeah, I put.

[Cruz]

Do you still travel whether you're little smoothie? No, of course not.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I don't travel with it.

[Cruz]

Of course not.

[Guest/Caller]

Do you ever use it?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, every weekend. Margaritas.

[Guest/Caller]

So the odds the opposite of what you were supposed to do?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I mean. But I don't have to plug it in. It's kind of cool. I can watch TV and blend it right by the tv that pops up.

[Cruz]

On my TikTok sometimes.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It does.

[Cruz]

Yes. That little machine.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah. Ninja blast.

[Cruz]

Stretch your body.

[Amy]

I need to do that. Ugh. I mean, it's on my list.

[Cruz]

My back was killing me this morning. I slept hard last night and now the harder I sleep, the more I wake up injured.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Weird.

[Cruz]

I know because I just let my just. I just go. And things hurt because they're so relaxed. I woke up. Activating your nervous system. Something called vagal tapping.

[Amy]

Oh, vagal. Is it vagal or vagal?

[Cruz]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I don't know either. But I'm thinking like vagus.

[Cruz]

I don't have a vagala.

[Amy]

I've done tapping before. I mean, I open up my lymphs. That probably helps my nervous system. Maybe because you do breath Work at the same time.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What do you tap?

[Cruz]

A peni.

[Amy]

Your pineal gland. I don't know.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That'll wake you up.

[Amy]

Oh, perineal.

[Cruz]

It's called vagal.

[Amy]

Vagal?

[Cruz]

Yeah, according to the pronunciation.

[Amy]

Sweet.

[Cruz]

Some orthosomatic body tapping. Basically tap your body with your fingers for a few minutes to wake your nervous system up. Never heard of that.

[Amy]

Yeah. Okay, so I guess I'm probably getting that when I open my limps.

[Cruz]

She's limp, she's limp, she's limp. She's in my head.

[Amy]

Limp notes.

[Cruz]

Do you know that song?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It's not limp.

[Amy]

I know.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Okay.

[Cruz]

Practice mindfulness.

[Amy]

Yes, I do that.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

How do you do that?

[Amy]

I do a meditation every morning.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What on earth.

[Amy]

See, I'm playing it for you.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What time do you wake up?

[Cruz]

The problem. I know. She gets. She does.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What is that?

[Guest/Caller]

How do you have all this time, guys.

[Amy]

A five minute meditation? Sometimes. Sometimes I do five, sometimes I do 10.

[Cruz]

Journal cooks a Thanksgiving dinner.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

She's tapping her body, walks around the neighborhood.

[Amy]

This stuff doesn't take very long. And you don't have to.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You make a smoothie like.

[Amy]

No, I said on the mornings I have a smoothie. I actually admitted that. Like. Oh, shoot. I haven't been doing that. So I don't always get a nutrient dense breakfast. But I certainly need to try.

[Guest/Caller]

Can you imagine? Hey, why were you late? I was doing my tapping.

[Amy]

Well, you could tap in the car.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, no.

[Guest/Caller]

Keep your hands on the wheel.

[Cruz]

Set intentions. Feels like a bit of mindfulness.

[Amy]

Yes, it is.

[Cruz]

And then number seven, enjoy your morning coffee. More and more research shows it's good for us. A study in November found it helps promote good bacteria in your gut. If you don't want the caffeine, even decaf works.

[Amy]

Okay, from real simple, check, check.

[Cruz]

I get that you are the most adjusted. Then in the morning.

[Amy]

I don't stretch you.

[Cruz]

Do I stretch a little bit.

[Amy]

You were doing it daily.

[Cruz]

I probably stretch four days a week. Four to five days a week.

[Amy]

That's good. I'm telling you, we need to. You're going to be. You're going to age better. I mean.

[Cruz]

I mean, I can already am.

[Amy]

Okay. I guess the other things. I don't drink.

[Cruz]

I don't drink. Yeah, no drink and very little sun. And no smoke like that.

[Amy]

No drinking is gonna come in handy, I think.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Big time, dude.

[Cruz]

I think so too. And I get to wear big glasses to cover up the eyes.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You have all your hair.

[Amy]

I know.

[Cruz]

Oh, I do have my hair.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's good stuff.

[Cruz]

That's good.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What'd you say, Amy?

[Amy]

I just said the more we learn about alcohol, it's like, it's not good for you.

[Cruz]

What's poison?

[Amy]

Literally.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I know, and we've always known that.

[Amy]

But we've been conditioned to believe it's also a good time.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It is a good time.

[Amy]

Or I needed to relax and it's. It's like, okay, no, that's bad.

[Cruz]

You can't. The alcohol PR people.

[Amy]

Genius.

[Cruz]

A plus the last 30 years.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I feel like you shouldn't say I needed to relax. That's problem.

[Amy]

No, I don't think. No, I've never had.

[Cruz]

I shouldn't have a good time.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I don't need it, but I have a good time when I drink.

[Amy]

Exactly. I guess. Or if you want to relax or you want to unwind or just. I know that I've not had a problem with alcohol before, but there are times where I think I was a little too, like, sort of. Like, my coffee is comfort in the morning. Like, a glass of wine was comfort in the evening. But I didn't have an excessive problem, like, multiple in a night. Like, I could stop at one or the next day. If I needed to stop, I could. And I've witnessed someone that cannot, so I know the difference. And I'm like, okay. Thankfully, my body is not chemically attached to alcohol, but I do think you can get in a. A routine of, like, wanting it to relax.

[Cruz]

I think my comfort comes from Peni. Tapping Peni.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Every morning.

[Cruz]

Mm.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Go ahead, man.

[Cruz]

We'll move on. Yeah, probably best, too. Busted. Over the shocking theft of $60,000 in gifts during the wedding. We talked about this.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Cruz]

This is from the New York Post. A follow up. A suspect has been arrested over the theft of wedding gifts worth an estimated $60,000 during the reception, along with the accused getaway driver. This person is accused of being well dressed. That's an accusation I'd like. Yeah, I accuse you of being well dressed. Thank you. A well dressed wedding crasher caught on security camera snatching a box of envelopes full of cash and checks from the dance floor. That's so ballsy. You're vulnerable in there. If one person sees you and knows what you're up to, they're gonna beat the crap out of you. And you gotta play it cool.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

They won't beat the crap out of you.

[Cruz]

If somebody sees you stealing something and they. And they know it's you stealing something, they're going to beat the crap out of you. A drunk dude On a dance floor, in a reception. They're punching brides at some wedding, you know they're gonna punch somebody. Stealing a box of gifts. Cops believe he just went to the wedding and grabbed it. They got him though. New York Post with that story.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

So I was telling my mom about this story, and she was telling me that my cousin, she's not married anymore, but when she was married, her in laws every Saturday would go to this wedding venue that was right by their house and just show up and dance all night.

[Cruz]

So they would crash but not steal.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, they would just go because it would be date night for them.

[Cruz]

That's funny.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

They did it all the time.

[Cruz]

Yeah, that's funny.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

This is like, why pay for a dinner?

[Amy]

You think maybe people that work at that venue are like, this couple gets invited to every wedding.

[Cruz]

That's a great point, too.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's true.

[Cruz]

Or it's like they know they're part of the wedding crashing crew, so they don't say anything.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

They just let it go.

[Cruz]

Yeah. Scuba, can we talk about your thing yet or no.

[Eddie]

Oh, sorry. I was doing something else. We cannot. I have a meeting today, so I can give you an answer this afternoon on when we can say it.

[Cruz]

Okay. By the way, what team are you on?

[Eddie]

What team am I on?

[Cruz]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

For what? For what?

[Cruz]

Who wants to take this?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I'll take it.

[Cruz]

Okay, go ahead.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What team are you on, dude? Are you on the Bobby Bone show team or are you on your rock show team?

[Eddie]

Eddie, I'm actually working on Bobby Bone show stuff.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I think my other ear.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Because we have a speaker in the break room, and I was told that Scuba went in there and changed it to the rock station when it was on our station.

[Eddie]

Who told you that?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Don't worry about that.

[Eddie]

I'd like to know because that's actually false. I have no way to get to that.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It's on the rock station now, but.

[Eddie]

I didn't do that. It was on the pop station a couple days ago, and I was bitching about that.

[Cruz]

Everybody needs to understand every side project you have is only because of this project. And if that becomes your number one, that means this is no longer your number one. And then you go away.

[Eddie]

I think. I think I would be the last person.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I was gonna say.

[Cruz]

I mean, I think somebody's trying to have a little prep here.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I was excited as well. I was excited.

[Eddie]

Hold on. I can tell by his delivery.

[Cruz]

I would like to know, which team would you want?

[Guest/Caller]

Are you on the country team?

[Cruz]

Or the Iraq team.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Did I say it like that?

[Amy]

I will.

[Eddie]

Paul, I will hang up and listen.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Listen, listen.

[Cruz]

I was happy. Listen.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I was happy that it was changed because it's been on the pop station from the beginning. I was like, oh, man, the company does not like us. But then it changed to the country station. I'm like, this, now we're on to. It feels right. And then I saw it was on the rock station. I said, who changed this? And, like, Scuba changed it.

[Cruz]

Who?

[Eddie]

That's such a lie.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I don't have the iPad you're looking at.

[Eddie]

There's an iPad that's at the front desk. They change it. They said they rotate it every couple days to a different station. So maybe the rotation now is in the rock station. It'll probably flip back to the pop station at some point.

[Amy]

I mean, that makes sense to rotate it because you have a building full of space.

[Cruz]

Yeah, that makes actual sense.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It does make sense. So do you want to just say that?

[Cruz]

What team are you on?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Team are you on?

[Eddie]

I'm on the Bar Bones show team. I've been since 2019.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Okay.

[Cruz]

All right.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Who told you I can't say that?

[Eddie]

Ryan McKitty.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Nope.

[Amy]

He did himself.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Because he's not the one that put in the country station. Somebody else did.

[Eddie]

There's no one. This is like. This is such a non story.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Okay, thank you for clarifying.

[Cruz]

I saw you're. As a classic rock. Yeah, I got notes.

[Eddie]

Okay, tell me, please, for the Tick Tock version or the Instagram version? Because now I did two different ones.

[Cruz]

Yeah, Tick Tock. I took a screenshot.

[Eddie]

I had a version up there. And apparently you can't, like, directly record the song into it. It kills it. So then I had to do the crappy thing where you played in the speaker in the background.

[Cruz]

Yeah, that's not to know.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

To have. So he knows speakers because I. Oh.

[Cruz]

That'S a good guy. Does no speakers.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

See how he's.

[Cruz]

You got him. We trapped him. Arrest him. Oh, my God. I took a screenshot. Scuba.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

I know you can't see this, but this is the screenshot I took of your TikTok. And you used an effect called Dark Bloom. Yes, but Dark Bloom, the effect went over the name of the song. You can't see the song because it's over the top of it.

[Eddie]

Oh, see, that's. That's me being ignorant. So I thought in my mind, let me pick a trending, because it was one of the trending filters. I was like, oh, that's Pretty smart. So how are you seeing it that way? Because I don't. I guess I'm not seeing it that maybe as a consumer you see it differently versus the owner of the profile.

[Cruz]

As a consumer, probably. I was flipping through and I said, oh, cool, let me watch this one. Because it's Chevelle. That song. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, is this classic rock? And I'm like, well, I can't even see what the song is.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's so weird. I might not.

[Cruz]

I can see it clearly.

[Eddie]

It says Chevelle the red. I know you can't see from there either, but, like, it's. It's super clear. It says it right there.

[Cruz]

You guys see my screenshot?

[Eddie]

I mean, I don't get tick tock now.

[Cruz]

The song is under the. I would put the song in the. More. More the middle of the page though, too.

[Eddie]

Okay. Should I just put it right below where it says, is it classic rock? And then put the song right next to that?

[Cruz]

Maybe just you could put it wherever. But I just thought it was funny. Okay, that's funny. The name of the song was over the. Underneath the filter.

[Eddie]

That's funny. I had no idea. I don't. I don't see it that way. It's funny.

[Cruz]

And your Instagram didn't have the name of the song on it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I put it in the actual, like, bio of the thing.

[Cruz]

Nobody goes to the body.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What are you laughing about?

[Cruz]

I notice all this, Stu. You aim.

[Amy]

Nobody. I do.

[Cruz]

Yeah. You go if you care. If you care enough about it, you go to the second part.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It's funny because, like, you love to say, like, nobody cares, but. And you're not saying that nobody cares.

[Cruz]

Like, you're not saying that 100% doesn't care. Right, Gen Pop, that they don't have a relationship with you already. If you come across the for you page, they do not care to go to the body unless you do something that makes them go to the body.

[Eddie]

And that's what I'm curious about. Hitting. And that's why I want to hit. So that's why this is super valuable to me.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

But you know how, like, we can get our feelings hurt, though, when you say, like, nobody cares?

[Eddie]

No, I don't. I don't care.

[Cruz]

I think nobody cares about a single thing that I do unless I do it exactly right. And even people that do care, I still have to breadcrumb them into places.

[Amy]

But I think you're also just trying to say, like, you do. You, like, do what feels right. Like, nobody cares.

[Cruz]

I'm not saying that to him.

[Eddie]

No, no, dude, I don't want to be.

[Amy]

That's how I take it.

[Eddie]

I don't want soft love. I want the truth. I don't want someone go, hey, you're doing a great job when I'm not. I'd rather know that I'm not doing a good job and how can I improve?

[Cruz]

No, I think you're gonna find a fine job and a good job even.

[Amy]

But also, nobody cares about anything.

[Cruz]

Nobody cares about anything, right? So that's why it's like, yeah, nobody cares about anything at all.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

But that's not true. People care about certain things.

[Cruz]

Yeah, certain people care about certain things. But the idea of there are things now that people just care about, generally because they're good and they exist. That does not count anymore at all. There's not even social media anymore.

[Amy]

What?

[Cruz]

It's not social media. It's not people you follow. It's now for you media, like, the way that you grow is not your friends liking it. It's all the things that you're doing that are fed to people that like things that you're doing. So that's people that don't know you. So you got to let them know immediately what they're getting or they're not going to take it. Because look at every social media now. It's not so much just our friends watching or people that we follow for our growth. It depends on us being for you'd. And those people don't know us or care about us that we're being for you to. So we have got to hook them in three seconds to care about us. And so all those little things matter. That way nobody cares about anything. And if you go with that approach, then you care about everything that you do to make sure all the little things are right. So people then do care. That's all.

[Eddie]

I have a question.

[Cruz]

Do you.

[Eddie]

Are you familiar with or do you see any value? Because I got TikTok now wants to give you 20% off to boost your post. Is that. Is that stuff worth it? I haven't done it. I don't know if you have any thoughts on that.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Good question.

[Cruz]

Yes and no. So where people mess up like companies is when they'll go, like, we don't really need. Well, just boost our posts. You shouldn't boost a post unless it already has success. Okay? Because you can boost a post and pay 50 bucks for it and it's gonna get somewhere. It'll tell you between 5,000 and 19,000 views based on. But you're just gonna get 5,000 if it's crappy. You're gonna get the very low of that. If people don't like it. Yeah. If you have something that is succeeding, that's when you boost them.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Cruz]

Something that's doing middle good to real good because, you know, people like it, and so you want to get it to more people that will like it. So I wouldn't boost things at the very beginning. I would boost things that work.

[Eddie]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Cruz]

I think that right now is the answer to. The thing is, that's so fluid. Like, I read freaking articles on this every week. And then I also were like, I help people grow channels. We're growing channels. It is an art and a science. Except it never. It's always fluid.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I've noticed that. There's no rhyme or reason for. Especially between Instagram and TikTok. You think you figured it out and then there's something else now.

[Cruz]

Yeah. It's always changing.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

So that's. Okay.

[Eddie]

All right, cool.

[Cruz]

Thanks, man. Welcome. Anything else?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Good stuff, man. That boost question is great, because I'm always wondering, like, oh, should I boost it?

[Cruz]

I don't know. You should boost something that is already being organically boosted because of the quality of what you're producing.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

So if you had a picture or a video that's working really well, boost that mofo. But don't boost something that's doing crappy because you're like, oh, if I boost it, people will like it. No, they've already showed you they didn't like it on Instagram. Something I'd recommend to our trial reels.

[Eddie]

Trial reels?

[Cruz]

Yeah. Especially if it's something you're like. It's not normally what I do, but let's see if it works, because it feeds it to people that aren't normally your people, and it gives you an idea if it's going to work.

[Eddie]

Okay. Is trial reel, like, a thing within there, or. This is you trying a reel.

[Cruz]

If you pay me 50 bucks, I can show you.

[Eddie]

Okay. All right, cool. I found 50 bucks in the studio.

[Cruz]

What was your question, Scuba? So is.

[Eddie]

Is the trial reels, is that, like an actual, like, feature within the app? Okay, so it's not Instagram.

[Cruz]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Okay, so. Okay. I never. I didn't know about that.

[Amy]

Does everybody have that, though? Does everybody have access to trial rules?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I've seen it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

I don't know what everybody has. I know, like, the six accounts that I have all have it, so. I don't know.

[Amy]

I think they all have it now.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You got burner accounts over there?

[Cruz]

No, I got Bobby cast. I got. I got mine. I got 25 whistles. I got Bob Own sports.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I got to find out. You're the one trolling all of our posts.

[Cruz]

I'm the unknown number. I'm a no numbering catfish, Mom. And you guys see.

[Eddie]

Where do you even find that?

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, I don't see it.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I think it's under.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know at one point not everybody had it, but maybe now they do. Morgan says so. So she's the. She's the. They typically do social kinds of stuff. I know everybody started getting the repost feature finally, so that was slow rollout, too.

[Cruz]

Yeah. So, okay, there you go.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

AI. I got a new AI One.

[Cruz]

That'd be a couple tips. What?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I got a new AI. Like, when you try to post AI.

[Cruz]

Is an option to say it's AI to say that the content's probably AI.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Describe your AI. Oh, yeah, that's what it is.

[Cruz]

Yeah. I never do that. Even if I do something AI, I.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Never say that I. I did it. I did one where I posted a picture of me and Jerry Jones. Forgot to say that it was AI.

[Cruz]

Was it AI? Stop.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes, it was me and Jerry Jones having coffee.

[Cruz]

Fake Photoshop and AI are two different things.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

No, AI created it.

[Cruz]

Oh, they did?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

Okay, you want to do another little dramatic moment here? Yes. Are you guys in the mood for another little slightly dramatic.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes.

[Cruz]

I'll go over to Morgan for this because she is preparing for Lunchbox to be mad at her again, I guess. Speaking of social media, she kind of went viral again.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, no.

[Cruz]

Twice. Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, for what? I have a video that's. That's going viral on TikTok right now. It's over 1 million views.

[Cruz]

And then I have one on Instagram.

[Amy]

That'S about to hit 1 million views.

[Cruz]

When the video is. The video on TikTok is of. I was out walking in Franklin and.

[Amy]

I saw a dog getting fed scrambled eggs. So I posted it like I wanted.

[Cruz]

To do, like, sitting outside.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

[Cruz]

And I was like, I want to be this dog in another life. And then I posted one on Instagram.

[Amy]

Of my boyfriend giving me snacks. That was, like, our deal to watch NFL games. And apparently it's hit with the NFL crowd. Oh, nice.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, that one I kind of like was, like, silly. Moved on.

[Amy]

Well, it has almost a million views.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Wasn't for you the egg one, though. That's funny.

[Cruz]

Yeah, that one's funny. Look at Spuds McKenzie. He does. He has a little hat on and it's got sunglasses.

[Amy]

It was a cute moment.

[Cruz]

How you feel about that lunchbox?

[Guest/Caller]

Double viral, man. It's really annoying. It's pretty stupid. I mean, but I guess if you post enough, something will click. I mean, she does post a lot.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's not true. You post a lot.

[Guest/Caller]

I don't post as much as her.

[Cruz]

Yeah, but that means something will click with you. Just maybe a little slower, but they'd still be clicking.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, that's annoying. Let me go to your TikTok. Let me see this stupid dog. How many times you had to shoot that?

[Amy]

The dog video?

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, one.

[Amy]

I was just walking by.

[Cruz]

She hired a crew.

[Guest/Caller]

Can you bring that fork back? I can't really see it. Hold on, hold on. No, I don't need to see whoever that person is. How do I go to you?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What was that?

[Cruz]

I don't know.

[Guest/Caller]

Where do I go to?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You sound like something he wanted off his phone quick.

[Guest/Caller]

Well, I don't know who they were.

[Cruz]

Raymondo, what's the deal with you? You say, would you have called police in this situation?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so I was curious. I was coming to work, it was around 1am let's say, and there was this drunk dude on our side street here.

[Cruz]

And I hear cops right now. Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

Oh, boy, that dog is sitting at the table.

[Cruz]

Go ahead and lunch.

[Bobby Bones]

Run to the next story.

[Cruz]

Yeah, we moved on. Yeah, go ahead. And he. This.

[Bobby Bones]

This drunk man is stopping traffic and he. I was one of them. So he stops me and he goes, hey, man, are you good to drive? Have you been drinking? I go, no, dude, I'm just going to work. He was, okay, we're going to clear you through. You're good to go. Man starts waving his arms. His buddies are dying, laughing. Then the next vehicle comes. It's a semi. Semi like kind of honks like, what is going on? He's like, hey, man, are you good to drive? Are you good? Let's go. Let's clear him through. So he's in the middle of the street directing traffic. Hammered. He wasn't blackout, so I didn't think he was really going to get run over. And we all know the traffic doesn't really travel that fast on this side street. Is this a situation where I would have notified authorities or just let the drunk guy have some fun with his buddies directing traffic, acting like he's a crossing guard?

[Cruz]

I think that's a 311 call.

[Amy]

We have that like a 411 yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, they have the non emergency.

[Cruz]

That's. That's the non emergency number call. Hey, we got a guy here because he also could be hurt by a car. Right, right.

[Bobby Bones]

See, that's what I was going to say. Dump truck came through and didn't really stop. He could have gotten run over if we checked the security cameras. But I thought he was just having fun. It was a good American moment, you know, Just let it happen, you know what I'm saying?

[Cruz]

American.

[Guest/Caller]

Are you really seriously considering calling the cops on that? That is hilarious. It's something you would do. Something you do when you're supper. When the gas leak was going on.

[Amy]

Needed to have the cops call.

[Cruz]

That doesn't mean just because you did it, it's okay. I think it's fun. But I, I would. If you wanted to call somebody, I wouldn't. But you could call whatever the non emergency number is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I just felt like he was walking that fine line. You know what, man, it's pretty funny. I'm gonna let you do it. But next time, next time you get any more in, in my vehicle's way, I'm gonna have to call the cops.

[Cruz]

Just hit him.

[Bobby Bones]

I had no idea what was going on. I thought it was another gas leak.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Another gas leak? There were firefighters in here.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, there were.

[Cruz]

When?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Early today? Yeah, like an hour ago.

[Amy]

I thought they were just not expecting.

[Guest/Caller]

They were walking around our building.

[Cruz]

Oh, I don't leave this room.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, they were walking around our floor.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You didn't see him?

[Cruz]

Yeah, I don't leave this room.

[Bobby Bones]

They might have been looking for that guy still.

[Cruz]

Somebody reported him chasing him down.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I saw two guys on a scooter, like one of those lime scooters on the interstate.

[Cruz]

Oh, funny.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

On Saturday.

[Cruz]

How fast are they going?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Not. What's the maximum? 10, 5 mph? 10. Like they were just. And they were like dumb and dumber, you know, like one was driving the.

[Cruz]

Other day on the side side or they on the side of one lane.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

No, they were on the interstate and it was a ramp. So the interstate was like exiting and it was a ramp and they were on the side of, of the lane just trying to. And one of them had the phone up. Like take a right here.

[Cruz]

They were mapping it. They were mapping the interstate on a.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Lime, which I had like there's no. I thought they would shut down. I didn't think they would let you get on an interstate.

[Cruz]

So they do. It's not that you can go or not go on interstate, but they do have like perimeters you can't go. But that could be. Could you make it be on the other side of it?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I don't know, man. They were on the interstate. Was crazy.

[Cruz]

They've shut down on me before, but never because of an interstate. They've shut down because I'm like, near the water. I saw homeless guy throw a couple in the lake once through.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

What?

[Cruz]

Throw a couple in the lake. A couple of scooters. Scooters.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Not a couple.

[Cruz]

Like, oh, no, no, no.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

No. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe they.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I just didn't think that was possible. And. And. And the fact that they were just like. You can tell they're saying, oh, crap, oh, crap, oh, crap, oh, crap.

[Cruz]

They wouldn't shut those down, though, getting to an interstate, because there's really no reason you can get to the other side of it.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Unless maybe it's a personal one. Maybe it was a personal.

[Cruz]

Doesn't they own a personal line?

[Guest/Caller]

No, no, they own a person. They have electric scooters, though.

[Cruz]

Yeah, but this was like a lime scooter. Well, there's two people on it. That's not somebody who owns a scooter. That's somebody who's a new to town and it's trying to figure out where they're going. Yeah. That's weird. That's crazy, because I could understand if it was okay to. Not okay, but if it were inside the perimeter, if there's like a bridge. Because we have bridges here in Nashville that go over busy places. You can take a scooter on that. So maybe that's why they don't shut that area down.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah. Like the GPS just shows it above.

[Cruz]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

It's crazy.

[Cruz]

Well, I. I'm watching somebody on a lime scooter on the interstate now.

[Amy]

I think you can get ticketed if.

[Cruz]

You go on the highway.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Man.

[Cruz]

That's death.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah. That's no joke.

[Cruz]

Wow. Scuba. We have to get a screen in here.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, we're working on it.

[Cruz]

Okay. We want to be. Sorry. We went to Barstool and did a bunch of shows up there. And they just go, yeah, put up on the screen. And they put the camera on the screen and they have somebody running the screen. And I'm like, this is like the simplest thing. We should have this.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I just saw an email come in.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So we have the capability already because we put zooms and stuff on that wall over there. So it's just a matter of getting Mike's computer to go up there. So Zach's going to come in either tomorrow or Thursday.

[Cruz]

Put it up on the big screen.

[Eddie]

Yes. That way you can see it there for camera and you.

[Cruz]

Yeah, because anything like then Mike could have brought that up. I'm over here watching a guy in a zoom on the interstate.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

We can all see it.

[Eddie]

I think it's a great idea. So we're going to get that done for you this week.

[Cruz]

Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Let me see if there's anything else before we take a break.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I think it's it what it sounds.

[Bobby Bones]

Like when you road trip to the iHeartradio Music Festival in the all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid.

[Cruz]

Wow. This is really nice.

[Amy]

Inside.

[Bobby Bones]

The Palisade Hybrid has more luxury than ever.

[Cruz]

Whoa. This sound system is awesome. Turn it up.

[Bobby Bones]

More tech than ever.

[Amy]

Sweet.

[Cruz]

You got the available built in dash.

[Bobby Bones]

Cam and more range than ever because the Palisade Hybrid gets up to 600 plus miles of range on a full tank.

I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First you can message privately with everyone in a group even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem, just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big old mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone.

Bobby Bone Come on. Let's go to Michael in Mississippi who is on the phone. Michael, what's going on?

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Good morning Bobby.

[Cruz]

Morning.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Morning Cruz.

[Amy]

Morning.

[Cruz]

Morning.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

I had A little thing I was going to tell you on I've got a great friend of mine. Y' all do the Tuesday reviews day. And I've got a great friend of mine that was a firefighter. And 24 years ago, he went into a burning house and the house collapsed on him and suffered major facial damages and everything. And no doctor anybody really figured out how he lived out of it. Said he wasn't supposed to live out of it. Well, 10 years ago he had a life changing surgery that was the first ever faithful face transplant in the world. And he's lived through it. He's doing great. He just released his new book. It's called Facing the Fire. And I know how you support the firefighters and police officers and figured this may be something y' all would be interested in reading. And it's very touching. Story of his life, story of how everything happened.

[Cruz]

Well, I'll check it out. And I think I'm happy you called because you just said the name of it. And our listeners can also go check it out too. So that's. That's. Yeah, that's super cool. He was able to. Yeah. Survive that and thrive from that.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Yeah, the guy's name is Pat Hardison. He's one of the best people you'll ever meet that he give you. Give you the shirt off you of his back to this day. And I mean, just. Just his story and what he's been through. And I mean, he lost his nose, his eyes, his ears, he had no eyelids. And I mean, it was. The doctors were amazed that he even lived through it. Said nobody was supposed to live through anything like that.

[Cruz]

I appreciate that. Facing the Fire, Pat Hardison. I'm looking at it now. Hope the book does wonderful things. Michael, appreciate you calling.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Yeah, thank you. And thank you for taking the time to take this call.

[Cruz]

Yeah, of course. See you later. Which, by the way, reminds me, I just don't believe in Helen Keller. Uh.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, elaborate.

[Guest/Caller]

What do you mean you don't believe in her?

[Cruz]

Well, I think she existed, but I think the stories have been exaggerated. You're gonna tell me because you know the story of Helen Keller?

[Guest/Caller]

I'm looking her up.

[Amy]

Yes. Yeah, this actually. Well, you don't even know this, but therapy. Kat and I talk about her a little bit on our podcast this week because she got genetic testing done.

[Cruz]

Helen Keller did?

[Amy]

No, my friend Kat and the person that was delivering her the news, she's like, like in an excited tone, she's like, you're not gonna believe this, but you have talking to Kat, not her husband. She's like, you carry one of the genes that we call, like, the Helen Keller gene. And Kat's like, why are we sounding so excited right now? I mean, yes, I'm sure she. My child could still thrive. And that's great. And there are people that may have this, but you're delivering news to me that, like, what if. So my child potentially could be blind, deaf, and mute. You know, she just thought she'd dial back the excitement. Cause of the level of challenges that may come with that.

[Cruz]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And then I was like, oh, there is a theory out there. And I told her, and she had no idea. She never heard that potentially, maybe some of it was exaggerated. Not that she was blind, deaf, mute, but her accomplishments. Is that what you're referring to?

[Cruz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

So she was blind, deaf, mute.

[Cruz]

So Helen Keller was unable to see and hear due to an illness at 19 months old. So again, she couldn't see or hear. Because of her. They call it deaf blindness. I've never heard of that term before. She could not easily communicate, which led to frustration and unruly behavior in her youth. However, she was not unable to do anything. With the help of her teacher, Ann Sullivan, she learned to communicate, read, write, speak, and even ride a bicycle, ultimately becoming a college graduate, a prolific author, and a world renowned activist for people with disabilities.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Got it. What don't you believe?

[Guest/Caller]

How does she. If she can't see or hear, how would she know to do anything? How can she communicate?

[Cruz]

She communicated through touch.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

There we go.

[Guest/Caller]

But she doesn't know what anything is.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

And they also say that when you lose a sense, you get two more.

[Cruz]

She lost a lot of senses.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

There we go. So she has tons of other ones.

[Guest/Caller]

I'm on board with Bobby. I don't even know anything about her, but I'm not believing it.

[Cruz]

I think it was probably exaggerated a bit. I think she did great things for what she was born into. Super tragic that she didn't have the ability to do that stuff. But I. We didn't even have cameras back then. Like, my buddy Richie, like to record stuff.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

My buddy Richie, he was blind. He played football. He was a running back. And like, he played football for four years in high school.

[Amy]

Yeah. That is kind of crazy.

[Cruz]

Was he legally blind or blind?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Legally blind.

[Cruz]

Blackout blind.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Had a stick and everything. Couldn't see anything.

[Cruz]

Okay. But in football, though, this is what I would argue. You're a running back. You probably didn't play a lot. You probably didn't play a lot.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

He didn't start, Right?

[Cruz]

Yeah. Probably didn't play a lot.

[Guest/Caller]

Shocking.

[Amy]

But he could hear.

[Cruz]

He could hear, and he would hold.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

On to the blocker.

[Guest/Caller]

Okay.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That was kind of his.

[Cruz]

Okay. But that's probably in a part of the game where they were up. What? They were up a lot or down a lot. And the other team knew not to wipe him out.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Right.

[Cruz]

And also, if. Even if you're blind and you're. Say you're strong and you're fast, just run forward.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

And it's gonna hurt about 1.2 seconds.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

But I don't think any of us in here would run forward full speed if we had our eyes closed. I'd be like, I'm not doing it. I don't want to run into.

[Cruz]

I didn't want to do with my eyes open. Like, I played football, and I was like, ow.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Right.

[Cruz]

So, yeah, I just think the saga of Helen Keller has been a bit exaggerated. I think it needed to be exaggerated, though. It gives a lot of people hope.

[Amy]

But, I mean, are you saying 100% or you're saying there's still a chance she could have done all that? I don't know.

[Cruz]

I don't think again. This is me just going, what? Based. This is what I think. So I don't know. I wasn't there. Nobody was there.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Nobody was. How long ago was this?

[Cruz]

18.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

1800S.

[Cruz]

Yeah. I mean, there were people there, but we didn't record it. We don't have it on video. Nobody had their iPhones out. You could just make up whatever you wanted. Before, like, 1938, you could just make up whatever you wanted, and if enough people agreed with you, it became truth. All you had to do was convince enough people, and they would pass it on. Anything before that time, it just became truth. Get enough people to write it down. It's truth. I just don't think that the story that they have convinced us is completely accurate. But I could be wrong.

[Amy]

It says here, like any great writer, Helen had editors too, and her companion.

[Cruz]

I also don't think Shakespeare was real.

[Amy]

Who proofread her books.

[Cruz]

Oh, wow. Huh. I also don't think Shakespeare was real.

[Amy]

What?

[Cruz]

I think there was a person, but I think there was other people writing for him. Shakespeare never went to school. William Shakespeare never had a formal education. William Shakespeare wrote about places that he was writing about that he had never even been. You don't write about foreign places that accurately that you've never been without an education, and it'd be that prolific.

[Amy]

Why'd they choose him to be the Face. And then he had, like, ghostwriters.

[Cruz]

Yeah, there are theories, a lot of theories. Like Mark Twain didn't believe in William Shakespeare.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Guest/Caller]

This is bad. We went from Helen Keller to Shakespeare. Everything's getting crumbled here.

[Amy]

Well, and listen, like, is anything real?

[Guest/Caller]

I mean. But I believe in it.

[Cruz]

But you know what happened? There were no cameras. You can do whatever you want. Just get enough people to agree to it, write it down, and it's now the truth. That's history.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

But does it really affect us? Like William Shakespeare? He didn't write any of that.

[Cruz]

No.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Who cares?

[Cruz]

Let me ask my assistant. She can give me better.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

There we go.

[Cruz]

I didn't come in prepared for this conversation.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Hello.

[Cruz]

Good morning. Could you present to me the top five reasons people feel like William Shakespeare was fake or a fraud? Good morning. Absolutely.

[AI Assistant]

I can dive into that. So there's a whole area of speculation known as the Shakespeare authorship question, and it's been around for a long time. Here are probably five of the top reasons people argue that Shakespeare might not have been the actual author of all those famous plays. There's what people call the education argument. Basically, skeptics think that the historical William Shakespeare of Stratford upon Avon didn't have the formal education or the aristocratic background they imagined someone would need to write such sophisticated works. Second, there's the idea that Shakespeare was a sort of frontman for another writer or a group of writers. Some folks think maybe an aristocrat like Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, or Francis Bacon, or even Christopher Marlow wrote the plays. But. But use the name Shakespeare for various personal or political reasons. Theron people point to certain anomalies in the historical record. For example, they say there's not a lot of direct evidence linking the man from Stratford to the actual act of writing the plays. They think it's odd that there aren't surviving manuscripts in his own hand or that the mentions of him in official documents don't really highlight him as a writer of great renown. Fourth, there's a kind of class argument. Some people think that only someone who was more familiar with the royal court and high society could have written so insightfully about the lives of nobles and the intricacies of politics and power. And finally, some folks just love a good mystery. The idea that Shakespeare might have been a pen name or a collective pseudonym is one of those literary conspiracies that keeps going because it's just a fun puzzle for people to debate.

[Cruz]

Can you give me the person that died around the time that Shakespeare stopped publishing? Work. So a lot of people feel like it was that particular person.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Absolutely.

[AI Assistant]

So one of the most famous candidates in that whole Shakespeare authorship debate is Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. He passed away in 1604, and a lot of the plays attributed to Shakespeare were published or performed after that. People who believe in the Oxfordian theory, as it's called, think that maybe de Vere wrote the plays and they were released under Shakespeare's name, which would explain why the real Shakespeare stopped writing around the same time de Vere died.

[Cruz]

So the guy died and Shakespeare never wrote another play after.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Interesting. But he was still alive for a little bit. Who Shakespeare? Shakespeare was, but didn't write anymore.

[Cruz]

Yeah, he just stopped writing when this other guy who they feel like was probably doing the writing for Shakespeare died. They kept performing them, but they were already written. Shakespeare just retired. He seinfelded. You know what? I'm done. Right. When that dude died. There's just a lot. There's a lot to that. And again, we can't. We didn't record it, so.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I don't like. I don't like her. She annoys me.

[Cruz]

Who? Amy. And you know what? I like Amy. No, no. Amy's been with me for 20 years.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

And you like her, your AI assistant. Oh, she's so annoying.

[Cruz]

Why?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Because she's just like, good morning. Let me tell you everything I know, and it's all real. It's like, I don't know, she has a tone to her voice that's kind of annoying.

[Cruz]

She knows my wife, too. She's like. She thinks she's just, like, better than us.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

She does. That's it.

[Cruz]

But she is.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's the way to say it.

[Cruz]

She is. But that's my Shakespeare thing. Yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

Because they can say whatever they want. We weren't alive. They can say whatever they want. They can pass anything down to us. And again, if enough people agree to it, even if they're in a room and go, we're all going to write this and we're all going to say it, and there's no way to disprove it. The truth is written word. Except it's not really the truth. It's just what exists.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

And why would the Earl of Oxford not want the credit to write all this?

[Cruz]

I'm glad you asked. A lot was political. Another thing is being a playwright was not seen as something like it is now. Like an actor is something that held high esteem. That was a job that people made fun of.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You're probably a weirdo. He writes Plays?

[Cruz]

Yep.

[Amy]

Really?

[Cruz]

Especially somebody that was royal or somebody that was well educated. You didn't write plays. You became a doctor. You studied science.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Interesting.

[Guest/Caller]

Who's more real, Helen Keller or Shakespeare?

[Cruz]

Helen Keller was for sure a real person.

[Guest/Caller]

No, no, I get that. I understand. Oh, so you don't even think Shakespeare was a real.

[Cruz]

I think Shakespeare existed. Yes, but some people think Shakespeare was just a dude they picked, and you're going to be the guy that is now famous from this, but you're really not that person. Helen Keller. I think those people existed. Both William Shakespeare and Helen Keller. I think Helen Keller was more of what we think of her, but definitely not to the level. I think Shakespeare was used as a frontman.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

There needs to be a movie on this. On that theory that Shakespeare was just a regular dude.

[Cruz]

There are people that I. That. I mean, I don't. This isn't something that I'm like, breaking news.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

No, that's. That's good stuff.

[Amy]

Maybe there is a documentary.

[Cruz]

Eddie, would you mind telling me about Mark Twain not believing in William Shakespeare?

[AI Assistant]

Not at all. It's actually a pretty interesting little P Head literary history.

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[AI Assistant]

Mark Twain, who was obviously a famous author in his own right, was one of the notable skeptics of the whole Shakespeare authorship question. He wrote about it in his essay called Is Shakespeare Dead? Which came out in 1909. Twain basically found it hard to believe that the man from Stratford could have produced all of these incredible works, given what we supposedly know about his background. Twain kind of approached it in a humorous way, but he definitely leaned into the idea that someone else, maybe Francis Bacon or someone of that era, was the true author behind the Shakespearean canon. So, yeah, Twain was definitely in that camp of people who found the whole authorship question intriguing and had his doubts about the man from Stratford.

[Cruz]

Pretty interesting, huh?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, it is, for sure.

[Cruz]

Yeah. So that's what's up. Let's go over to Angie in Jackson, Mississippi. Let's talk to her. Angie, you're on the show.

[Caller/Diverce Ad Voice]

Hey, Bobby. How are you doing?

[Cruz]

Pretty good. What's going on?

[Caller/Diverce Ad Voice]

Well, I wanted to tell you why you should come to the Ole Miss game this weekend.

[Cruz]

Are you an Ole Miss fan? You want to watch me cry after a loss?

[Caller/Diverce Ad Voice]

Oh, I'm an Ole Miss fan. My kids graduated from there. Most of our family went there. Archie and Eli played there. So that, you know, that's something. But we also have great restaurants if you're not into the bar scene. We have historical landmarks like Rowan, where William Faulkner lived. So, you know, if you're looking for something to do before. Before tailgating starts. And those are some great options. But we have the fanciest tents. Not everybody, you know, decorates, but we have tents with drapes and chandeliers. And I'm actually part of the disco tent. I'm staring at a basket of disco balls that are going with me this weekend. But, you know, win or lose the game, we never lose a party. And I think you'll have a great time, you'll be treated with genuine Southern hospitality, and you'll be glad you came.

[Cruz]

That's some bull crap. But the hospitality, I think that. I think mystic people are awesome, but after a game, it ain't always so hospitable. But I'll say again, I've been. It's awesome, but I wouldn't go in the night before, and I wouldn't do anything. I'm not going in. Trying to, like, find the 10 hotspots in the town. I would go. I walk around, I go to the game, I come home. It's just quite the commitment if you lose.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's all I got four hours driving back after a loss. That'd be tough, too.

[Cruz]

And I think it's. It's probably four and a half. And then also traffic. Game traffic. And I look at that and not game traffic.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

You guys are a seven point underdog. Yeah, that just looked up the odds.

[Cruz]

That's pretty terrible. A full touchdown. It's a whole touchdown and extra point. I don't know. I'll think about it. Angie, thank you for calling. I really appreciate that. Hey, you should work on the committee, the town committee. What do they call that? The board? The chamber of commerce?

[Caller/Diverce Ad Voice]

I don't know. I don't know if I should or not. But I think you should come to the game. I promise you, if you come to the right tent, you'll have a great time.

[Cruz]

My history, though, is they call me Mr. Go to the Wrong Tent. Yeah. Yeah. If there's a wrong tent, I go to it. And so, yeah. Thank you, Angie. Have a. I hope you guys lose, but I hope it's a fun weekend for you. And if you. We got 357, 422, hut. No, those are times like, what are you doing?

[Guest/Caller]

What are you doing?

[Amy]

So this game is gonna be, let's.

[Cruz]

See, three hours, 57 minutes if I drive right now.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, right now.

[Cruz]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Pittman versus Kiffin.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yes. The coaches.

[Cruz]

That's an easy one.

[Amy]

Kiffin.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

Yeah. Well, Kiffin's also a lot younger.

[Amy]

I haven't looked up their salaries yet. Hold, please.

[Cruz]

Kevin makes more.

[Amy]

Oh, just because he's more seasoned.

[Cruz]

No, he's not more seasoned.

[Amy]

Oh, Kiffin makes more than. Sorry, I was flipping them real quick.

[Cruz]

Yeah, it's not that age thing. You don't just make more.

[Amy]

No, I know, but you're older. Well, I figured with age, Kevin's had more success. Really?

[Cruz]

And other head coaching jobs. Yeah, he was head coach at Tennessee, usc. He's head coach at the Raiders. Head coach at Ole Miss. Went down to Florida for a bit. He's been everywhere. He's Johnny Cash.

[Amy]

He's been everywhere. Oh, yeah.

[Cruz]

What do you got? What's your. What's your salary?

[Amy]

Well, that's his 2022 salary. So let's go. Wow. Okay, so he's over 7 million a year.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's his current Kiffin.

[Cruz]

Do you not have it up?

[Amy]

Oh, not. Got it. 9 million. It kept showing me previous years, and I'm like, I need the up to date. He's at 9 million a year.

[Cruz]

Okay.

[Amy]

Starting this year. He went up to that.

[Cruz]

And what's Pittman app.

[Amy]

Okay, Pittman. Gotta change Arkansas.

[Cruz]

I'd imagine his is like 5.5mil. Yeah.

[Amy]

Ding, ding, ding. It's 5 million.

[Cruz]

Yeah, I know about that one.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I'm sure you do.

[Amy]

What do you pay it?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I'm sure you know that I know.

[Cruz]

About that one a little bit.

[Amy]

So.

[Cruz]

Yeah, let me do one more call. Carolina Roy is on the phone. Hey, Carolina Roy, what's going on?

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Good morning, Bobby.

[Cruz]

Morning, buddy.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Hey, how are you?

[Cruz]

We're doing pretty good. What can I do for you, buddy?

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Well, you see, I have to ask for stuff, so I don't want to win nothing from you. All right, well, my birthday was this past Saturday on the 6th. And since you're a Carolina Panthers fan now, keep pounding. Unlike the Broncos. Poor Abby. Star Abby, I was wondering, whenever you go to Charlotte, would you want to maybe meet up so you can meet the real Carolina Roy?

[Cruz]

Yeah. If I come to Charlotte to a game, I'd love to meet Carolina Roy.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

But the only question is, how would I know that you're coming? Would you say it on the radio? Would you send me a dm? Or how.

[Guest/Caller]

He'll text you.

[Cruz]

Man, I'm gonna give you Lunchbox's cell phone. Once he finds out I'm coming, he'll text you and let you. Nope, nope. We have. Do we have Abby? We have Carolina Roy's number. Yeah, we do. So if I do decide that I'm gonna go one weekend I'll let Abby know and we'll reach out and let you know. All right.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Well, maybe. I don't know. I go to some games occasionally, but maybe we can find a way to get in contact with somebody. And you could probably be the drummer. You know how they do the drumming before the game.

[Cruz]

I do know that. Yeah. They. Somebody pounds the drum. Right? Yeah.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

That'd be pretty cool to have the Bobby Bones pound the drum before the game. So maybe we can work something out.

[Cruz]

Yeah, that would be cool. Yep. I mean, I guess I'm confused. Like, if I pound the drum.

[Amy]

The Wii part. Is that what you're confused?

[Guest/Caller]

Or he'll get one stick and bang. Two.

[Cruz]

Yeah. Amy. Amy has taken the words from my mouth. What do you mean? The Wii part? When I pound the drum?

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Not me. Like, you.

[Cruz]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, would you be next to him?

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

I mean, I guess. I don't know. Whatever happens.

[Guest/Caller]

I don't know.

[Cruz]

You know, Whatever happens, happens. I feel that. Carolina Roy. I appreciate that. I will let you know if I'm coming to town.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

All right? I appreciate it.

[Cruz]

Happy birthday, buddy.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

I appreciate it. Can you do one favor before you go?

[Cruz]

You just said you weren't gonna ask for anything.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Can you play Jason Aren't.

[Cruz]

Well, we're not on the air. We're talking right now.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

Well, maybe tomorrow.

[Cruz]

Okay. All right, buddy.

[Caller Michael/Carolina Roy]

All right. I'll see you, Bobby.

[Cruz]

All right. See you, Carolina Roy. Bye. I like old Roy.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Good dude.

[Cruz]

Good dude. He weed pretty quickly.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, yeah?

[Cruz]

Yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I think he just wants to be next to you while you pound the drum.

[Cruz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know what? I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think if I pound the drum, maybe we can make that happen. Okay, cool. Be sure to go and watch on our YouTube page. We have the second round of quarterfinals today in our Jenga tournament. Yeah, I'll be playing Abby. I'm like, Amy, I don't know that I've ever played Jenga before.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Really?

[Amy]

I mean, I think casually, like, dinner, maybe somewhere, if they had it. Or like, you know, like.

[Cruz]

Or, like, the big one, the human size.

[Amy]

I've never been, like, one on one. Like, the pressure.

[Cruz]

Abby, you ever played Jenga?

[Amy]

Yeah, a lot.

[Cruz]

Okay. I think Abby's a favorite.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Well, you don't think she'll freak out?

[Guest/Caller]

Yeah, she'll get.

[Cruz]

I should really get in her head. No. Can we do a no talking? Are we gonna go live on this one?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Sure.

[Cruz]

Okay.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

So our YouTube page, it'll be live also. I watched both last night. Because I want to make the rules a bit better. I think we got in a better place on the Eddie and Scuba round, where it was a minute each with an.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

With a chance to go 30 more.

[Cruz]

With a one with one additional add on, which can be another minute. So we'll do a minute each.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, another minute.

[Cruz]

Yeah, because it was just too fast. And also, well, Amy also died quick, fast. Like somehow she grabbed. She went to the bottom. She had to karate chop all three out at once. It was amazing. So we'll do that. You can go to our YouTube page, obbyboneshow, and follow over there for that. Okay, we'll see you guys tomorrow. I have a podcast up today, a new interview with Matthew Ramsey from Old Dominion. We did over an hour together at my house. Oh, you know what's coming over today? I'll sing you a song. Okay. It ain't me. It ain't me. I ain't no fortunate one.

[Amy]

I thought it was Fortunate Son.

[Cruz]

Yeah, he does one, but son. Yes. Fortunate Son. Fortunate One.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's the title.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Son.

[Cruz]

Okay. How about you?

[Amy]

I don't know the name.

[Cruz]

I have a rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.

[Amy]

I know. I don't know the name.

[Cruz]

Wrote that. Wrote that song.

[Amy]

Okay. Did he write My mom, like, that Susie Q song?

[Cruz]

He wrote that, yeah.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Hey, what else you got?

[Cruz]

Oh, I got a lot, actually. I got.

[Amy]

Who is it?

[Cruz]

There's a bad moon on the Rise.

[Amy]

He's got some good songs.

[Cruz]

I got. Oh, good one. Go. I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? Or Willie and the Poor Boys playing? Bringing nickel tappy feet?

[Amy]

I know every single one of these songs. So who is it?

[Guest/Caller]

Can I guess? Creedon. Creedence Clearwater Revival guy. He's the guy that did all that.

[Cruz]

Do you know the guy?

[Guest/Caller]

John Fogarty?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Correct.

[Cruz]

Wow.

[Amy]

That's it.

[Guest/Caller]

Where did that come from?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

I don't know, man.

[Cruz]

Good job. Yeah, he's coming. I have. I have two house interviews today. I have Ben Jones, a former center for the Titans, coming over, doing that for lots to say. And then John Fogarty's coming over.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's amazing.

[Cruz]

For an hour.

[Amy]

That's cool.

[Cruz]

And doing that.

[Amy]

Where does he live?

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Not here.

[Cruz]

Not here.

[Amy]

Oh, he just.

[Cruz]

Do you know who I had lined up to come to the house? Not this weekend, but next? Brian Bosworth. The boss.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Come on, Amy.

[Cruz]

And we're in Vegas for iheart.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, so he can't.

[Amy]

You had him lined up, though, or the.

[Cruz]

I knew he was coming to town, so I had my agent reach out to his. And he was like, we'd love to do it. And I was like, what day is he coming? And he's like, oh, he's in town. I was like, oh, of course. That's when I'm.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

No, wait a minute. It's when I'm at Notre Dame, is what it is.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, okay.

[Cruz]

Yeah. Oh, you know what I was gonna do for you, Amy? I can't do it. I love when people say this to me, like, oh, you know what I was gonna do for you?

[Amy]

Sure.

[Cruz]

I was gonna take you to Russell Palooza.

[Amy]

Russell Dickerson.

[Cruz]

Russell Palooza.

[Amy]

Oh, Russell. I thought. I was thinking Wrestlemania.

[Cruz]

Russell Mania. Yeah. I was gonna say if you wanted to go out to Indianapolis, but it's our I Heart weekend.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Cruz]

Big event.

[Amy]

I know. For the five minutes I was into wrestling.

[Cruz]

No, I think you'd enjoy it if you went to the show.

[Amy]

It did impact me emotionally. I bet I could tap back into that.

[Cruz]

Hey, and you'd love to tap.

[Amy]

So Brian Bosworth, the boss. He's a big, big guy.

[Cruz]

Linebacker to ou.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Cruz]

Played in the NFL, too. Okay, I have Matthew Ramsey today on from Old Dominion. Go check that out. Amy, what do you have over there?

[Amy]

Nothing today. Oh, I do have today. Yeah, my bad. I have the thing. I think the title that we came up with is, like, the one thing I won't Touch without protection.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

That's.

[Cruz]

What is it.

[Amy]

You have to listen, Amy.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Is it.

[Amy]

We thought that. I don't know, it was whatever. It's like, okay, fine. The simple things in life. It can really, like a small change. Can really change the vibe. Like tiny things you can do that'll change your mood.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Wait, are you changing the title?

[Amy]

And there's one thing that totally changes.

[Cruz]

You're talking about a whole different show.

[Amy]

No, but you touch something that I use. Something that I use. And Kat thought it was really weird that I won't touch. Won't use it.

[Cruz]

It's.

[Amy]

It totally will change the vibe.

[Cruz]

We don't care about the teaser.

[Amy]

You have to listen.

[Cruz]

I'm not. Now I. Now. Now you boycotted. Yeah, but it's like a small thing now. It's a small one. You need a small one.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

And you can't touch it without protection.

[Amy]

It is small.

[Cruz]

It's a little.

[Amy]

And we didn't even really know, honestly.

[Cruz]

You never seen a penis.

[Amy]

How to use it. But.

[Cruz]

Okay, I'll show you a video.

[Amy]

I get embarrassed when y' all talk about that.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Oh, stop.

[Cruz]

Oh, you're the nervous one on here.

[Fellow Host/Producer]

Yeah, you're the one that brings it up.

[Cruz]

Yeah, we were doing a bit yesterday and you're like, all right, we're out. Thank you, guys. Check out.

[Amy]

Why do I think today was Wednesday? That's weird because when you came to me, I was like, it's Wednesday, I don't have anything. But yeah, it's only Tuesday. That's surprising. It's better when you think, oh, I thought it was Monday. And then you find out it's Tuesday. But it's like, I thought it was Wednesday and now I'm finding out it's Tuesday.

[Cruz]

Okay, we're gonna go. Thank you, guys. We will see you tomorrow. All right, bye, everybody. This episode of the Bobby Bone show is brought to you by Chase Sapphire Reserve.
