This is from Sky News. So he was wrongly accused of murder. He got released from prison in Hawaii after 30 years behind bars. And he said the one thing that he's found so weird is everybody is looking at their phones all the time now, obviously, he's seen a phone. They smuggle those things in buttholes all the time in prisons. They keyster them in there, and people have them. They text. I had a cousin that would like FaceTime from prison. It's wild. And so they have them, obviously, but they don't have them out all the time because they're not really supposed to have them. So it's not like every inmate's on their phone all the time. But this guy, 51 years old, named Gordon, got out of prison on Friday. He was convicted of killing a guy in 1994 over a drug deal gone bad. He. He's always said he was innocent. DNA evidence finally cleared him. One of the things he first did was go out for a nice steak dinner, which he said was a little different than the prison food he's been eating. And he said the craziest experience is that everybody is looking at their phone all the time. He had never seen. He calls them cell phone zombies. Because when he went in in 94, they didn't have cell phones like we do now. They didn't even have flip phones until 96. It was just beepers. And when there were phones in prison, everybody didn't have them out all the time. Right. You kind of had to hide them. So he thinks it's weird how people are always on their phones. Messages are always flooding in. He has a phone now. He says it keeps beeping. Well, so he is kind of famous now. He's out of prison. And one people are like, congratulations. I always believed in you. Yeah, right. You didn't even come see me in jail. Oh, I hit him with that immediately. So Gordon thinks it's weird everybody's on their phones. I was watching a video last night on TikTok. My algorithm feeds me a lot of 90s and early 2000s alternative concerts. The two music things I get a lot are like 80s country award shows, which are so fun to watch, and then 90s alternative live music. And I was watching Incubus do wish you were here. And it's wild to see a group of people belly to butt, 500 rows deep and not a single Phone is in the air, crazy to see. And I'm not one of those guys that's like, man, everybody's on their phones. Culture's different. Culture's always been different. Culture will always be different. There will be things in 15 years that people look back at and go, man, can you believe, you know, when they didn't have chips in their eyes, they weren't always recording whatever it is. Culture is always changing. But it was pretty odd to see nobody on a phone. I also think you can enjoy a concert while recording it on your phone. I think that's how people have. If you're 19, that's really how you've enjoyed any concert you've ever been to your whole life. That's what you know is enjoying your concert. So people are like, oh, man, people pull their phones out. Concerts suck. Ah, you're just old. But it was pretty neat to see nobody on their phone and just everybody looking up, singing the song. It's pretty cool. Also, that dude was young. Brandon. Brandon Boyd. Brandon Boyd, lead singer. He was. Yeah, he was young. I'm not. He looked like he's about 19, 20 years old himself. And they were playing that song. They. All those guys look young. Like, when you look at those old. Like they show Stone Temple Pilots or whatever. Like, gosh, he looks like a kid. He's 49 now. I'm not sure what year it was. He still looks good now. But I always think about those guys, too, that had really difficult songs. Like, they were really great singers. And so as they get older, they can't really sing them the same way. I mean, because now 49 probably can still hold it, but that. Wish you were here. I went to an Elton John show at a charity event once, and Elton's in the 70s, those high songs, he had to take it down multiple levels because he. He couldn't hit the. He did Blue Jean Baby. He did that one. Okay. Tiny Dancer. But some of the Crocodile Rock. Da da da da da he had to pull it down because his voice couldn't get that high anymore. It's wild. Like a Ronnie Dunn, who's in his 70s, sings in the same key that Brooks and Dunn did 30 years ago. It sounds the same. Yeah, it's amazing. And most the time when these people turn anybody. A singer turns 65, 70, 75, they have to change the key of their songs. A rare alignment of seven planets has taken place in the sky this week. This is from Science Alert. So what is that going to make me, Amy? Itchy? I don't know, look it up. I'm not. Listen, I'm not an expert in this, but let me, let me do some quick research. A very rare treat's about to grace Earth's night skies. On the evening of February 28th, which is three nights from now, all seven of the other planets in the solar system will appear in the night sky at the same time. That's cool. With Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars all lining up in a neat row. It's not uncommon for a few planets to be on the same side of the sun at the same time. But it's less common for most or even all the planets like this. There's an app called Sky Tonight. It's a free mobile app that uses your phone's hardware to gauge where you're located and shows you real time positions. You'll need binoculars or a telescope to see all the planets and have clear skies. Obviously you won't see them if it's cloudy, but I'm sure astrology person is going to be. Nah, you know, you're probably gonna feel a bit of sadness around noon because of the planets. Yeah, but don't they. Isn't that an expression too? Like yo, the planets all align, you know. Yes, that is an expression. So maybe something good can happen out of this because literally something good can happen, but it has nothing to do with the planets aligning because if it did, every single person that was under these planets would have something good happen to them. This is very selective but they said it's very rare, Extremely rare even. A lot of rare things happen every day. Yeah, a lot of rare things. Which one's in retrograde is all I want to know. Any thoughts on how we'll feel when this happens? What we should feel? No, I'm looking. Doesn't really seem like it's going to impact good. How can this not other random things? Venus is 3 degrees off, so you should really feel tragedy or the blood moon. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? I don't know. There's that theory. You got nothing, I got nothing. It says it's just going to be a magical time. I don't know, it's going to be cool to see, but it's not going to impact us. Like I would play the lottery astrologically, but then if everybody played the lottery, if that was supposed to affect that, everybody would win. Well, not everyone's going to play it. Once I had a numerologist come in and do my thing. They told me I was going to be wildly rich. What's a numerologist? Yeah, what does that mean? Who? Where? Like, I've heard a psychologist, psychiatrist. A numerologist feels. And I don't believe in it, by the way, but a numerologist is kind of like astrology, and they use numbers to predict your future. They like looking at the stars and crap. So a numerologist, someone's like your life path number, Stuff like that? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Of course. Sammy knows what I'm saying. That's exactly what it is. The most important. Here's the life path number, the most important number calculated from your birth date, representing your purpose and challenges in life. Then you have a destiny number derived from the full name at birth, indicating talents and potential. Then you have angel numbers, repeating sequences 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4 4, that are believed to carry divine messages. My cousin does all of this. Then you have master numbers, 11, 22, 33, that are considered powerful and spiritually significant. Then you have compatibility numbers used to analyze relationships based on numerical vibrations. So they're basically going to look at your birthday and your name and then offer you guidance on your career relationships and personal growth. Come on. And basically. Oh, yeah. So, like, whenever I was trying to sell my house, my cousin told me to put a number in my mailbox and it would make my house sell faster. And my house didn't even go on the market, it just sold. What? And then yours said. What? That you. She told me I was going to be wildly rich. Okay. But I don't know if. Yeah, I mean, close, but still. I don't think that that picked that. No, but. So you can take. There's address numerology. Like, you can take the numbers in your address. Like, you add them up and then bring. Bring them back down. So each number, one through nine, will represent a different thing. And I needed to make my number what you want for selling your house, which I did. So I had to go put a number in my mailbox. Y'all don't remember me telling y'all this. I don't know. You say a lot of stuff. Yeah, you do. It's very cuckoo. It was cuckoo. But I was like, hey, it's worth a shot. And my house sold. Could that have been because your house was in a really great part of town that was really growing? That was. I mean, it's pretty good. Pretty good house. Yeah. It was just really crazy how. And the market was like. Crazy. Yeah. Market was fantastic. I hadn't even gone live yet, and I get a phone call, Amy selling Her house is like a live stream. And it was like, hey, can we show your house? And I was like, when? Tonight? What? It's not clean. So the kids and I power clean for like three hours. And then we loaded the animals up in the car, we drove away, and they came to look at the house. And then we got a phone call. They wanted to buy it. And I was like, wow, I put that post it note in my mailbox. Let me do your numerology because I'm. I just learned how to do some of it. Okay. I'm not so deep in it, but. Eddie, give me your. Hold on, hold on. Could they tell, like, could you tell me, like, you're going to be poor for the rest of your life? I'm not sure. Just follow. But this is not real. You can change anything. Okay, so. Oh, they nailed the two. What do you mean it's not real? But what if there's. Okay, what do you want to do? What do you mean? Give me your birthday. Can I text it to you? We all know you're 50, dude. It's okay. All right, March 21st. So that would be three. 21 and what year? 79. 1979. So we got three plus two is five, six, seven plus nine is 15. 22. So 31. You nervous? Very. Hold on. 31 and then two. Oh, okay. Then three plus one is four. Yes. That's how you do it. I'm on it. I'm rocking it over here. I'm double checking. Are you fact checking? Yeah, Amy, good. And so you are a four. Wildy rich. And so. Hold on. Come on, man. Life path number four. Oh, man, does that sound familiar? Live path number four. Uh oh, he's not liking what he sees. No, it's not that. Okay, life path four. He's lying. No, no, no, I'm serious, dude. If it says you're going to be broke for the rest of your life, I don't want to hear it. It's not. Everything's positive in this crap, especially early on. The builder and the hard worker. This is what they say you are? Yeah, pretty much. I'm a hard worker number four. If you're life path number four, you are practical, disciplined and hardworking. You thrive on structure, stability, and long term success, often acting as the foundation for those around you. Yeah. Yeah, Nailed it. This is not you. I'm gonna tell you why. Just. Just take. Take the work out of it. I'm gonna tell you why, though. There's more. No, that's a big part. Not like you guys. But like my home, I am the foundation of our house. I'm not arguing with that point. But let me read you something. I'm a hard worker. I'm not. Okay, so number one. Hard working and determined. You have a strong work ethic and believe in effort over luck. Okay, let's just say that's not me. That's definitely not me. Practical and logical. You approach life with common sense and rational thinking. Yes. Reliable and loyal people trust you because you're consistent and dependable. Yes. Organized and detail oriented. You prefer structure and routines. Negative. Traditional and disciplined. You value stability. Long term plan. No, no, that's not me. Challenges can be rigid or resistant. No, you're not rigid. Yeah, no, not rigid. See, this is all. This is all stupid. Are you sure we did the math right? But this is. Yeah, because if it's three. 21. 1979. Three plus two is five. Plus one is six. Eddie. Plus one is seven. Plus nine is 16. 16 plus seven is 26. 26. I might have done the math wrong. Okay. Wildly rich. Hold on, hold on. 5, 6, 7 plus 9 is 16. 23. Oh, I missed it by 1. Even with Amy. Fact check 32. No, I did it was the math. Fact checked the whole thing. I fact checked 31. Three plus one is four. Yeah, I did the math wrong. There were a lot of numbers. Quick here. Eddie, you're a five. Let's go. Come on. What's five? Wildly rich life path. Five. Don't need retirement because it's going to come anyway because you're going to be wildly rich. I don't think it says that stuff in this. Oh, the person that did mine did a whole new. A whole numerology thing where they pulled out all these charts and all this crap. It was like, to me, like 30 minutes. Okay, yours is like the free version. Yours is the free spirit. He's the. Yeah, like I'm not a hippie, but I'm a free spirit. You are free spirit. Okay. Adventures. Boom. Love it. And freedom. Loving. Resist. Routine. This is way more you. Yes. Because you were not the other one. No, not really. Charismatic and social. That's me. Risk taker and opportunistic. Maybe in other parts. May avoid responsibility or stability in pursuit of fun. Yeah. But you've learned to balance freedom with responsibility. Tends to overindulge in pleasures. Love, pleasures. Travel, food. Yeah, that's on me for adding wrong. The money, money, money. Okay, dude, I swear to God, I'm looking wildly rich. Challenges. You're passionate, spontaneous. You need a Partner who gives you space and trusts you. Yeah. Your mission in life is to experience the word fully, world fully, and inspire others to embrace change. That is me. Boundaries, explore new ideas. It doesn't say anything about money. Let me ask, let me see. Okay. It's not good. Amy, career path 5. When it comes to, I guess it's life path. Yeah, Life path. It says Bobby, so I looked it up quickly. It says, depends on how they channel their natural talents and manage their challenges. Interesting. I don't know that you manage. I don't have a manager. That's not what I mean. Life path, money, the relationship with wealth and finances. Yes. If you have a life path number five, your relationship with money is often tied to freedom, adventure, and flexibility, rather than strict budgeting and financial stability. Yeah, so see, that's where we don't budget. Like, but. But long term, though, you do budget, though. You got out of debt. I did. I did get out of debt. You. You know how to budget. That's because I, like, the fire was lit and I was like, I need to get out of debt now that we're out of debt. I'm like, impulsive spending is a pitfall. It says no, no inconsistent saving habits. Impulsive spending will be gambling too, dude. Yeah, but I have $50 a month. I hear you. That's all I have. You want more? I'd love more. But do you do more if you win more? Like, say you have the 50 and you're 50. Oh, I've gone five months without putting any money in, and I just make more and I play more. Yeah, I wonder what mine would be. I'll do mine quickly. I mean, that's pretty good. Add the math up. 6, 7, and 9 is 16 and 8 is 24. 6. Let's see if this is right. You double check mine, Amy. Life path six. Life path six. This is not right on me. I must have added this wrong. This could not be any more wrong on me. Six, seven, 16. Yeah, mine's wrong. Mine could not be more wrong. Mine's life path six is the nurturer and caregiver family oriented. It could be you, though. It's not like I'm not a nurturer. Can be overly sacrificing. Might struggle with setting boundaries. Nope. I'll win the Olympics in boundary setting. Yeah, I don't feel like this is me. Oh, it does say. Anyway. I'm kind of bored anyway, but, yeah, I had one come in and do a whole chart. They pulled up all the stars and they did numbers and Then stars. And they were like, you're gonna be wildly rich. And I was like, you say that to everybody. You said that to all the girls. It's pretty awesome. Anyway, all the planners are gonna line up. It's gonna be magical. And that you can see it with binoculars. That's cool. Like usually you needed like a whole telescope or something to see all that stuff. I like that. In recent years, you might have heard talk about a potential project that would see an undersea tunnel creating New York City with London. The transatlantic tunnel has been backed by Elon Musk, who says he can create the thing for a thousand times less than the 19 trillion dollar figure. Tunnels underwater are crazy. Yeah. But this would be a 3400 mile trip. It can be done through vacuum tubes. Which would make it possible to complete the journey in 54 minutes. Current calculations suggest building the transatlantic tunnel would take about 780 years. But it's gotta start somewhere. Stop. I think what would happen is that's ridiculous. With the technology we have today, it would take 780 years. But you do it with the understanding of technology will get faster. We'll learn more as we're doing it. And hopefully it's like setting a GPS and then beating that time you set your GPS, it's like 53 minutes. You're like, I can beat that. I can be there in 48 minutes. I love doing that. Yeah. You race your GPS, that would be basically what this would require. Like with what we know now, 740 years. But hopefully we can get it done in 63 years. Gosh, that'd be crazy. Police in Columbia caught a man with more than $10,000 in cocaine into his wig. He had sewed it into his wig. Oh, that's cool. TMZ has a story. Columbia's national police were shocked when they busted a guy trying to board a plane wearing a narco wig. A disguise hiding 42 million Colombian pesos, which was about $10,000 United States worth of cocaine. I'd be so nervous. And what did his hair look like? Was it like just really poofed up? You wonder too if he had long hair and then shaved it off and then put a wig that looked like his original hair with all the stuff tied into it. Because he has to have a picture. You have to have a picture to board. Especially if you're going anything overseas. Like they look at a picture to make sure it's you whenever you get go through the check. Yeah, but like you've seen my id, but I'm saying if you're bald and then you have. All of a sudden you have long hair, they're not gonna go for it. They're gonna be like, this is not you, or something's weird. Or if you have long hair, you shave it and then you put more hair on top. No one's gonna think anything different about your hair. Cause it looks normal. That's a good point. Yeah, but that's what's up. Yeah, that's why they decided to inspect his hair. This doesn't look right. Hey, man. Looks white, man. Like, they're cutting it off his head. It looked like the hair system that you had. Oh, it was a system. And underneath it, it's like, looks like it's lined with all these cocaine packs, but it looks like it's marshmallows, like flat marshmallows all underneath it. And that went onto his head and they're cutting it off and he's there just like. Yeah, you got me. What's funny now is I can tell when someone's wearing a system. Like 100% watching TV, like, dude's got a system. Really? Yeah, I can tell now. It's all about the line. The front line. It's just. It doesn't look 100% natural. Because that line is usually like yours did. No, no. And then in the jeep do. When the wind would blow, that line would start rattling a little bit. I thought yours was great. Yeah, I thought so too. Oh, that was great. I kind of like the bald feel now. Yeah, but you weren't bald then. That is actually what created the look now, because you had to shave your head to put that on, and then you just stayed bald. So I would say you grew from that hair system. Sure. Because you would never shave your head bald. I think because of the hair system, I the is what I decided to go with. Okay, let's do a mid roll. We'll break. Hey, y'all. I'm Maria Fernanda Diaz. My podcast when youn're Invisible is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life. I get to talk to a lot of people who form the backbone of our society, but who have never been interviewed before. Season 2 is all about community organizing and being underestimated. All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks. Let's do something about it. I can't have more than $2,000 in my bank account or else I can't get disability benefits. They won't let you succeed. I know. We get paid to serve you guys, but like, be respectful. We're made out of the same things. Bone, body, blood. It's rare to have black male teachers. Sometimes I am the lesson. And I'm also the testament.

Hey, I was calling to see what interesting day or holiday that your kids get out of school or as you were growing up. Cause around we get out for rodeo break. My kids got out Thursday and Friday for rodeo break. So I was just curious how different it was in other parts of the country. That's really interesting. We used to get out first couple days deer season because everybody. Yeah, yeah, because everybody would miss. So. And there are a certain amount of days that they can distribute to do whatever. I'm not sure what they are, but I know there are days they pick. And so we got the first two days of deer season basically every year. Not at first, but everybody missed. So they were like, we'll just put these days here, since nobody's coming anyway. That's awesome. You normal stuff. Teachers in service. Yeah, I didn't have anything like that. No. But I mean, I wish I grew up somewhere where we got off a rodeo day. Gotta have a lot of rodeos. I know, but that's. That. That would mean I was in that world growing up. I always wanted to be in the rodeo world. You did? Yes, My half sister. That's how they grew up. They grew up in West Texas. They would have rattlesnake roundup. They would do all the dances and show their animals. What did you want to do? I just wanted to have that life. I wanted to, like, have a small town. I wanted to be in Future Farmers of America. But like, legit. No, but I mean in the rodeo. Like, what was your event? What, roping? No, I want to just be a part of it. Like, I don't need to be in the rodeo. Ooh, mutton busting. I mean, well, if I was a kid, but yeah, if I was a writer, if I rode horses or something. But I don't have to be an athlete participating. I just want to be in it. Like, you go to it, you do the dance. The concerts, but you're like a part of it. Like, you know, everybody did you feel like Austin kind of, but not really. Like, it was like posery a little bit, because it wasn't right in it. No. Austin had that. My sister would come to town for the Austin Livestock and Rodeo. She goes to Dallas Fort Worth for that stuff. All her. Now her kids do it. So she's. My sister's still doing it and that. But that's their world. That's their life. Like, they have trucks and they haul animals and. But I guess my point is if you celebrated rodeo day, that would mean it would be all the time, like. Or significant in the city. Austin, it really wasn't significant. It was kind of a thing coming through town. Right. But she would come to town for that sort of stuff. I mean, I'm sure some people in Austin were very involved in that, but I just didn't. Yeah, I didn't get off school for it. Didn't live that life. But I always wanted it. Eddie. We didn't have a really, like, a day that we always got off. But I'll never forget when Selena died, we all got the day off. That's a cultural day off. Yeah, that was a big deal down there, Morgan. What about Kansas? Like, I don't think we had any specialty days. Shucking corn. No, there was no, like, you know, week season. And this is happening. I don't think there was any of that. But to Eddie's point, I mean, I do remember 911 we got out of school. They. They released all of us. Yeah, we did, too. I think 911 was a whole different. Sure, all of America did that. Let's do voicemail number two. Good morning and howdy Bobby Bones show. Just wanted to comment on the howdy for the state thing for Arizona. It's actually a big deal here, especially in Pima County. The rodeo is a big deal out here. The kids actually get Thursdays and Fridays off of school. It's such a big deal. So the kids can go to the parade, go to the rodeo. People from all over the world come and compete. So howdy is actually very appropriate for Arizona. God bless. Two rodeo calls back to back. I didn't know that was going to be howdy, huh? Yeah, I don't know howdy to me. I don't live there, though. And I said that because people in Arizona wanted howdy as the official greeting. Like, I'm sure there is a selection of folks, but unfairly, I don't think of Arizona as a howdy state. I think of more cowboy hats as Howdy. And I'm sure there are a lot of cowboys in Arizona, for sure. Ranches and everything. But I think of Arizona as a. Hey, what's up? Normal, traditional greeting, but from being in Phoenix or Scottsdale or Tucson or. But I'm sure Howdy works with a large collection of Arizonians. Scuba. Is that what they're called? Arizonians? I honestly don't know. I just call them people from Arizona. It's got to have something. What do we think it is? I think it's Arizonans. Arizona has a nice ring to it. It sounds cool. Zoners. Zoners is even better. We should. That would be better. Yeah. Let's see. Is it Arizonians, Mike? Because that would be good if it was Arizonans. Arizonans. I don't hate it. I don't know. Arizonians sounds like an alien. I like that, though. It feels more foreign, like they're from another planet. Let's go, number three. I heard y'all talking about tipping. I do doordash. We only get $2 per order. It doesn't matter if it's going 5 miles, 10 miles, or 1 mile. That's how they pay us. You should let your listeners know that, because I know a lot of people think we make all this money when we don't. We work for tips. Okay? So I don't want people to be confused here. She's not talking about the money they make for tips. They get what they make. They get $2 per order into doordash, regardless if it's a mile or 10 miles. And then that's why they depend on tipping. So she's not saying we only get $2 regardless of what you tip, because I think it could have been misconstrued. So she's saying for every order, DoorDash pays us two dollars. That's it. And they rely on tipping to actually make their money. That's crazy, because they're probably spending close to that in gas, just picking it up and going. Makes sense. Yeah. Did it sound like she was talking about tipping at first, like that's what they make? No, but I was. I'm just taking in that. I didn't know what they actually made or how they got paid other than tips. So that is helpful to know. Ray, I hear you can't do Uber anymore. Yeah, my driver's license expired, so they said I had to read you all the documentation and submitting of forms. And I just decided the time has come that I think I'm Done with Uber. I did a couple rides, made some fast cash from it. It was a good run, but I'm not going to renew any of my documents. How'd that work where they paid you? Is there a set rate for, like, this? Like, it's just five bucks every time, or does it matter how far you travel? Yeah, I think I got. It did matter, but they were in Nashville. Every ride's pretty much the exact same distance, but it was two rides, seven miles, and I got right around a dollar a mile, so it was $14. And they paid me next day straight to my bank account. No taxes. It's up to you to take out the taxes. Wait, you only did two Uber drives ever? Mm. I thought you did more than that. I thought you did at least a couple days. I wanted to. It'd be a Friday night, and I'd look at my app, and there would be 20 people that wanted me, and it would show the prices, how much I can get for each one. And wife would always say, would you please just chill with me? It's. You don't need a second job. And I was like, all right. But it was. You did all the work to do it just for. To drive twice. What's the work you had to do to be accepted? You got to submit your birth certificate, probably your driver's license, how you're a driver, your driver history for two drives. You did all that and only did two drives? I wanted to do more. I really did, but it was on the weekends, and my wife wanted me to be off. I always feel like when I order Uber eats, say for sure, if there's two people in the car, one of them ate my food a little bit. If there was anything open and there are two people, I don't always think that with one, but if there are two, I think that for sure. They've had a couple little bites. If there's anything loose, like fries, I know they had a couple fries. Like, I don't know. No, but I feel like they probably did. So, like, how much is Uber? Like, what is the caller? She was what she worked for who? Doordash. Doordash. So there's the price of the food, right? Say it's like $15. Yes. And then what do they add? So there's a fee, a delivery fee. And she's saying that of the delivery fee, she's only getting $2 of it because the delivery fee can be anything from 3, 4, 5, $10. Okay, so there's a delivery fee, and they're taking her money out of the fee, and they're getting a significant part of the money, too. Okay. And then the tip. I know on UberEats, it says the tip fully goes to the driver, the person who's driving. I don't use DoorDash. I used to use it more. I just now dial into one, whichever one it was. I don't know why I settled on Uber Eats for now, because I just like to give it information so it can tell me what I like. So I don't think that one's better than the other because they've all been good. But for some reason, I settled on Uber Eats because they had more information. Because the more I order stuff at certain times, if I go back to it, it's like, this is your normal. You may also like this. I use both the every. Like, if you do delivery or pickup or when you're in, like, say you're at Chipotle, say you get a bowl, it's $10, but on the app, it's gonna be 11 or 12. Sure. So then. But that's sneaky. Cause it's not part of the, like, your delivery price. It's just, like, everything's more expensive. But you may not realize, like, I didn't realize that was happening until. Does that extra money go to the restaurant or the doordash? I guess I have been trying to limit my Uber eatsing. I can get out of control with that. That's been the one thing I've really tried to get out of control. Cause it's awesome. You just click and suit shows up. I know. Yeah. It's like magic. Teenagers have this weird thing of, like, now they just want to. And, you know, my daughter and her friends, they work and they doordash something the other day, and I was. Do you realize how much you just paid for this? Because she's paying for it. They paid for it with their own money, her and her friend. And her friend works at Publix. And then Stashira has a job as well. But I was like, so you're. How much do you get paid at Publix? And she tells me per hour? And I'm like, what, you just. You just doordash some popcorn that took you two hours of work, like, to pay for this microwave popcorn. Like, y'all could have gotten in the car and driven to the store. What's her response? They just. I. They just were like, yeah, well, it was worth it. We were really craving it, and we didn't want to leave. And I'm like, Wow. I know. But I was like, I just couldn't believe it. It's all priority. And so. I know. And they had their own job. Like, I would freak out if I was a parent. And that was my. I saw a bill, and I'm like, that's so irresponsible. I can't believe you just paid that much for popcorn when you could have. So. But I just did that with my kids in gas. Like, they're just like, dad, why do you always go like, that way to get gas? I'm like, let me show you something. So I took them to. If I took a left out of my neighborhood and went, like, half a mile, the gas there was $3.50 a gallon. If I went to my right to another part of town for, like, same. Same distance, it was $2.50 a gallon. And they're like, what the crap is that? Oh, dude. It's crazy the way it's zoned in this town. If it's a nice neighborhood, it's a super expensive gas. If it's a poor neighborhood, it's so cheap. And they're just like, okay. So I made them do the math. I'm like, all right, how much a gallon? We just got 15 gallons of gas. How much is that? How much did we save? It was a great lesson. You know, daddy can gamble on basketball now, because we bought different gas. Let's go the next one. Ray Hannah from Indiana. Good morning, Bobby Bones Show. I'm a podcast listener, and I work third shift, so I call and I leave voicemails. And I was curious, like, how does the voicemail process work? Like, who listens to them? Do they get listened to every day? And if they do get listened to, man, you guys have a killer team, because I can only imagine the amount of voicemails that you get, especially from me. So it's a great question, because I don't know that I know the full answer to that. So my. My best guess is we have a program much like your iPhone. If you get a text and it's a voice memo, it will read out the voice memo to you. Do you have that? Mm. Okay. I'm assuming that's what we have, Scuba. Right. Where you see all the messages, and it does its best job to write out what the messages say. Yeah. And it's usually 85% incorrect. So then I have to. So then I have to go through and listen to every single one of them. Really? And then find the ones that are usable. Of those thousands that we get over a Few day period. And the one I have to say this, just if you guys are sending a voicemail, please keep it to like 30 seconds or less. The ones that are three to five minutes, they just really irk me. I would assume. And I wouldn't. That you don't listen to anything three to five minutes. I would stop and be like, this is. Unless it's something just so compelling. Yeah. Usually don't list as James from Virginia because he'll leave a long one. And it's usually I can find nuggets in there to edit it down to like 20, 30 seconds. But anyone else, if it's over a minute and a half, two minutes, you're wasting your time. So Scuba will go through. And this is very similar to how Mike goes to the mailbag, because there's so many. I don't even look. Are you judging mailbag off of subjects? Subjects? Sometimes I just search phrases too. I'd be like, this is an interesting topic. Let's see if anybody said anything. Yeah. And then I'll find something. Oh, here's a good one. And you can't possibly read every one of them fully, right? No, it's impossible. There's thousands of emails in there. Yeah. And we don't want to encourage people not to send it in, but. No, yeah, please send it in. But if you really want to get on the air, the parameters are. Say your name, where you're calling from, and then give me a good solid 30 seconds, maybe 45 seconds of what you're trying to get to get on the air. A question, feedback, whatever. I would say with the mailbag in the subject line, put something good in there. Get a good hook. Yeah. Penis, not penis. What were you gonna say? Well, I was thinking sometimes you can tell that people get nervous and they may ramble on, but people will type out what they want to say. And they kind of. Oh, yeah, they read a reader. They write a script like them so they can talk. They say like, hey. Which, you know, it's good to just go free flow. But if you really want to be concise, because I could probably ramble, ramble, ramble. And yeah, yeah, leave us a voicemail. Eight, seven seven, seven, Bobby is the number. We do see them all, but at first it is very much a preview. And then Scuba will go in on the things he thinks is interesting. Right? Fair. Yeah, fair. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go with the next one. Ray. You know, I listen to this station all the time, but for some reason, whoever's selecting the songs you're driving me nuts. Because you're playing the same songs over and over. There are a million of cometry songs out there. Please change the divisions. Hear you. I can talk you through kind of why it happens. I'm so not involved in the music process. I mean, at all. I can take a song I really like and play it, and I do that occasionally, but I'm not involved in music selection at all. So there are a couple of different things that happen. One, the local stations that we're on, they have the ability. They're supposed to play a couple songs an hour, right, Scuba? Yeah, yeah. Locally. They talk about with our affiliates. Yeah. Do they? They have a couple places they can play a song, right? There's a couple filler spots, yes. Okay. So they could be playing the song or because we're a national show, we don't play that much music. The only songs that you're going to hear on our show, as scheduled by. I don't know who does it. Gator? Yeah, Gator. Not Rod. I think Rod approves it, but Gator schedules it. It's all McKitty, I think, puts it into the system, heavily researched, meaning they do these things online where they go, listen to these songs, tell us what you like, and that's really how they pick the songs. So nobody's sitting there, for the most part, just going, I like this song. Let's play it. And on our show on the national sections, they're picking the biggest seven or eight songs that are the big hits right then, or a song that is quote, testing as a recurrent, like an older song from the 2000s, even the 90s, that's testing really high with the same audience. So you're going to hear that. Now, if you hear a new song twice, it means you've probably listened for two hours or you've come back within the last two hours. Again, based on research, most people do not have the ability to listen for any more than like 12 minutes. So what they do as programmers, and this doesn't happen in the country world, happens more in the pop world, but it does happen here. They will take a song and go, well, the average person's only listening for 12 minutes. In 90 minutes, we'll play the biggest song again. Because, yes, there might be some burn with some people, but it will be better overall because there will be playing a massive hit for different audiences. And that's a better benefit than having the burn from that select few. They're able to last for the two hours. So there's math there Even with our segments. Like if we're. If it's like a early, early segment that crushes and I used to not do this, but we'll play it again two and a half hours later. Because the people that heard it at 5:30 are not going to be listening at 7:30. Now, as a podcast listener, you're never going to hear that because unless there's a screw up, you won't hear that same segment doubled. But it's also why we do a lot of extra work on the podcast, where we do post shows, we do segments that are just on the podcast that don't go on the radio. So that is based on the amount of time someone listens to the radio through whatever research they have and they're doing. But I completely understand how that would be frustrating. Like, I feel that also for us, for me, we don't listen to songs while we're here. If we do happen to play a song, we play like if we do two or three an hour. If there's a song on, like, I'm looking at notes. I'm talking with Mike. Hey, hand me this. Do you want to do this? We don't like jam music. Restroom break. Yeah. Go to the bathroom and then it's back in. In three minutes. So I gotta hear you. And you're absolutely right for feeling that way. But know that you are an anomaly, someone who listens for that long. Or you could be someone who just comes back and hear the same thing. Hope I explained that in a way that made sense. Let's do Eduardo from Jacksonville, North Carolina. Hey, Warren. Bobby Saw you on the post show giving out the shoes. Wear a size 10 and a half. Trying to see if I could maybe get those with your autographs. That'd be really dope, man. Appreciate everything you do. Peace out. I love that Pedro and Eduardo were the two guys. Pedro's on until tomorrow. Eduardo is. Get us. Get his number. Scuba, I got you. And we'll put him on funny. All right, cool. Give me one second. You want to put them on right now? No, no, no. We'll let them play a game we'll put on later in the week. All right, let's do it. Yep. All right, there's that. See if there's anything else before we go. I mean, we could play now. We're good. Ray, how much? What do we got? Both parts. It's a great question. Are we long enough? 23 on both parts or just as far 23 on this one? I think the first one was about 20. So we're good. Okay, thank you, guys. We're gonna wrap up the post show for today, and then we will see you guys tomorrow. All right, bye, everybody.
