Bobby Bones
Bobby Vaughn's show. Hmm. Is it gonna snow tonight here? We're having to make plans out in the hallway. Ray, what do you want to do? Do you want to stay in a hotel? Yeah, I think that's the best option. Do you get annoyed with that? No. I mean, I can also sleep here. You just never know when they're going to book these hotels. I don't understand that statement, but, I mean, it's not like super bowl, like there's going to be hotels, right? Hopefully. I just. They just never say until, like, I mean, I'm about to get into my bed at Home. And they're like, oh, we booked you a hotel. Well, let me get my car and drive now. Got it. Well, what do you want us to do? Yeah, I'm going to. If hotel's an option. Rock it, baby. I'll park here and walk from the hot. Put me up in the W or the Cambria. I have nothing to do with where they put you. I. Okay, if you're cool with it. I never want to annoy you with it because I don't know what's the forecast for tomorrow? Because what will happen is if it snows and it gets bad, I'll just work from my house and we'll figure out who can come in and who can't. And then we'll do the show like we always do. But it's. How do you get home if you stay the night? It just really all depends on when the snow leaves. If it doesn't, I don't leave Scuba. Can we put him at the W?
Eddie
I think he says it something else. I won't say it until he doesn't have any stalkers following him, but he stays at a different hotel. I'm worried about that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Very concerned.
Bobby Bones
What's the current forecast for tomorrow?
Eddie
It's supposed to snow tonight around like 9 or 10pm and it snows throughout the evening while we're sleeping and into the early morning.
Bobby Bones
This is so stupid.
Eddie
We should wake up. We should allegedly wake up to 3 to 4 inches of snow, which they will impact Thursday as well on Friday.
Bobby Bones
But how old is your forecast?
Eddie
From like an hour ago.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Amy, what do you know?
Amy
I haven't heard anything from the schools yet, and they normally react way ahead of time.
Eddie
I will say that Nashville's done a better job this last two storms. I'm putting down salt on the ground in advance versus doing it. They're more proactive versus reactive.
Amy
Yeah, I saw it.
Bobby Bones
It's already out there this morning. That's awesome.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah, that's it. So it may not affect us too much.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So we're gonna put Ray in a hotel since he's the first one. He has to get here every morning to turn the show on. You're the first responder, so he has to be here. Yeah. You're a first responder, buddy.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Frontline worker. Yeah, frontline worker. And then we'll just figure it out. But it shouldn't be bad.
Eddie
Yeah, I mean, well, we'll see.
Bobby Bones
34 inches is fine, right? If it's not icing, I don't know.
Eddie
I feel like Nashville shuts down when it hits an inch.
Bobby Bones
We got in last time. Well, I mean, yeah, I have four.
Eddie
Wheel drive, so I'm okay. Yeah, but it doesn't grip ice, though. I do, but it's supposed to not.
Amy
Drive in four wheel drive.
Bobby Bones
But it's not gonna ice.
Amy
Well, I think on certain.
Eddie
Well, the problem too is all that rain we had the last few days that turns into ice when it freezes. So that could also play into this as well. Okay, well, ponding and flooding.
Bobby Bones
We're working tomorrow.
Eddie
Let's go.
Bobby Bones
We'll make a call in the morning on where we work from. Ray's gonna spend the night in a hotel. Ray, what do you do for food? They give you, like, a little bit of money? Well, I learned last time you can't go to the vending machine and charge the company because it had to get approved for six months for me to get two granola bars and a pop. Well, they should give you money to eat if they're. You're staying in a hotel unless you come later at night. Had to get approved through Gator. Then they sent it to Scooter, and then it finally got cleared.
Eddie
Who are these people, huh?
Bobby Bones
You ate vending machine dinner? Yeah, and they wondered why it was $14. And I said, because it was from a vending machine. They had no other food there. I will just Venmo you money to eat on. Like, if you're not able to go home and they keep you. I can afford food. It's just I submitted it to get a refund and it was a whole ordeal.
Eddie
You went through Gator and Scooter. That's why Fozzie, Kermit and animals, every muppet possible.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so that's the plan.
Eddie
I think it's Skeeter, isn't it? Skeeter?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Skeeter.
Eddie
Skeeter.
Bobby Bones
When is winter over? Golly. I mean, today's February 18th. When does it start to get warmer?
Scuba Steve
What did the groundhog say?
Bobby Bones
More winter. But that thing doesn't know anything that things like astrology, it's just myth.
Eddie
But cold. February is normal, right?
Amy
Yes, snow and normal.
Eddie
I think if it's cold in March, we're in trouble.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think March 1st, like, it's all. It's full spring, 70s, but March 20th.
Scuba Steve
According to the Internet.
Bobby Bones
March 9th. I think we may look this up. March 9th, maybe when we fix our clocks back. Going from memory here, I think we maybe spring forward. Maybe second week of March.
Scuba Steve
March 9th. Yep.
Bobby Bones
Boom. I love that day. That's That's a big day for me.
Eddie
Daylight spending.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, It's. I don't even do anything cuz still too cold. I'm ready to play pickleball again because I haven't played at all. Give my body a little rest getting back into it. Like watching some videos now.
Eddie
Are there indoor courts you can go because you're trying to go pro, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
On a break.
Bobby Bones
Yes, there's Indoor Lifetime Fitness has one, but I'm not a member there. I almost joined, but it was a little too far to drive. And there's another one in town that some friends play at, but they play in the morning and I'm not gonna get a membership to go play when they don't play.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. They play when you're working.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Everybody's like, you should come play at 9am I'm like, ever heard of a job? They're musicians or artists.
Eddie
Of course.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's not a real job. What are you saying, Amy?
Amy
I was just singing the indoor like you could. But yeah, if your people that you're playing with are playing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Early Morning Goonies 2 is officially a go. Yes. So, Mike, what are they gonna do? Are they bringing back the old cast or are they rebooting it?
Scuba Steve
They haven't said. They'll probably bring back some of the old cast, but just make a direct sequel to it.
Bobby Bones
So not with the old cast, but they're part of a movie.
Scuba Steve
It'll probably be like their kids. And it'll be like, our parents did this when they were kids, probably that type of situation. Because I can't imagine them getting all the original Goonies back.
Bobby Bones
I feel you're annoyed by it.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, a little bit.
Bobby Bones
Your tone is annoyed.
Scuba Steve
This is. Because this is all they do, is they reboot things and then everybody says everything is a reboot and it's this whole cycle of like, oh, they don't have any original ideas anymore. And I enjoy the sequels, but I'm tired of people saying that everything is a sequel.
Bobby Bones
We got him, boys. He's triggered.
Scuba Steve
Because they're like, There are like 10 movies I could tell you that were original movies that came out last year that nobody saw. They were great movies. But those don't get all the advertising, all the clicks that these do. These are the ones that get pushed out to everybody. So everybody's like, oh, this is all. They're feeding us now. Hollywood is dead. It's just. It's not the movies that are fed to you.
Bobby Bones
Are you saying Hollywood is not dead?
Scuba Steve
It's not. There's so many great original stories being put out every single week in theaters or on streaming. They're just not getting the attention that this gets. And this is going to come out. It's going to be average at best. And then it's going to be like, oh, why are we still making these movies?
Bobby Bones
They're just going to bank on nostalgia. More than a quality product.
Scuba Steve
Exactly. And Steven Spielberg is still a part of it. So maybe there's like a little bit of, like, that original magic, but other than that, it's just going to probably feel like, oh, okay, that was cool. Like kind of. With the Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. That was fun, but we already kind of forgot about that.
Bobby Bones
I didn't watch it. I love the first Beetlejuice. I didn't even watch it, though. I felt like it was a kid movie. Was it?
Scuba Steve
It was famous. It's like almost rated R. There's some curse words in there. There's some suggestive stuff in there.
Bobby Bones
Kids are different these days.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Aren't kids rated R?
Scuba Steve
Kids of the 80s? Yeah. It's like a kids movie. Not by today's standards.
Bobby Bones
He's angry, folks. We got him. We got him. Today. We did some Tuesday reviews day earlier. I did a few things. Who. Did anybody watch anything? They didn't review this this morning?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What do you have?
Lunchbox
The challenge, Season 40, Battle of the eras.
Bobby Bones
Is that an old season or the current season?
Lunchbox
I just ended.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. It was awesome. So they took, you know, generations, and they had them on this team, four different generations. And you had teams of those generations battling it out to see who's the best generation of challengers of all time. Fantastic.
Bobby Bones
Do you ever go to message boards or do you ever do, like, the subreddit of the challenge? I'm not a nerd or anything. You are for different things, but you do nothing. Like, you don't have any community of challenge fans.
Lunchbox
No, because I worry that if you go to that people may spoil it. Like when you're on those sub. Whatever. What do you call them? Subreddit. Is that what you said?
Bobby Bones
Sites read it. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah. That people already know somehow they know who won. And so maybe they talk about it in there. And so I don't. I don't want to do anything about that. I just want to watch it, enjoy it, and just like, oh, man, that's so cool.
Bobby Bones
So you won't pursue anything after either?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Like, read commentary and you don't get on TikTok really.
Lunchbox
So no.
Bobby Bones
The challenge isn't even your algorithm.
Lunchbox
Right. But I do watch, like, the Reunion. You know what I mean? I wish it was so un. I wish it was uncut, because you can tell they obviously cut it. I bet they're there for four hours. Give me all four hours.
Bobby Bones
You'd watch it all.
Lunchbox
I'd watch all four hours of Reunion because it is so good.
Bobby Bones
Who's the greatest reality star of all time?
Lunchbox
Reality star.
Bobby Bones
Everybody. Everybody can answer this. In your opinion.
Lunchbox
That's tough.
Bobby Bones
Who's the greatest reality star of all time? Now. Now we talking about games? Because I think Kim Kardashians probably there at number one as far as reality, because we can do games. We can do competitive reality star.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because I was gonna say, like, the Kardashians have to be 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I mean, they're huge.
Bobby Bones
Paris Hilton, which, again, the Paris Hilton launched the Kardashians.
Eddie
That was her and Nicole, that show.
Bobby Bones
Kim used to work for Paris, and when her sex tape came out, it was. This is Paris Hilton's friend that was kind of.
Eddie
That Kim.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
She was like, Paris assistant.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Scuba Steve
They both had a tape.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Paris first and then Kim.
Lunchbox
Kim's got more love.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. By far. And she was way, way. She's way more famous than Paris Hilton ever was. But Paris Hilton was really famous and still is. Yeah.
Amy
When we first reported on Kim's tape in the Hollywood Skinny, we didn't even know how to say her last name. And we pretty much. Or at least I did. I was the one reporting it. And I had to say something like, you know, it's Paris Hilton's good friend. I mean, we referred to her as Paris's friend, not. It's crazy how she blew up.
Lunchbox
Another big one, I would say, is Lauren Conrad, who was on the hills in Laguna Beach.
Eddie
She's huge.
Bobby Bones
I would say Cavalier is bigger than Elsie is.
Eddie
Ooh, ooh.
Amy
You want L.C.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I would say that.
Amy
I agree.
Bobby Bones
I mean, just because she has her own stuff and maybe not from Lauren Conrad. What?
Lunchbox
She has her own stuff.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
But I'm just telling you, she is huge.
Bobby Bones
I would say Kristen Cavallary is bigger than Elsie now. I think Elsie was bigger than Cavallari then, but I think Cavalieri had her own shows, too, that were big, I think very. Cavallari was a bigger show post Laguna beach in the Hills than Chris. Than Elsie ever had. Right.
Amy
I got Lunchwalk.
Bobby Bones
I know he was pretty angry about that. We triggered them both.
Eddie
Now he's not.
Lunchbox
I'm just looking up net worth. I'm going to try to figure this out.
Bobby Bones
Well, that stuff's not accurate. But also, like, Kristen Cavallari married somebody famous.
Eddie
Jay Cutler.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah.
Eddie
And then Lauren Conrad.
Bobby Bones
Is.
Eddie
Is that Chris Lane's wife?
Bobby Bones
No, he's from Bachelor.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Eddie
I'm getting them all mixed up.
Bobby Bones
A lot of Laurens.
Eddie
Okay, let me see. Lauren Conrad.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So what show did Lauren Conrad have after the Hills or Laguna Beach?
Amy
I know she has a podcast now.
Lunchbox
But she has, like, products is what I'm saying. Like, she has developed more into the space outside of just tv.
Bobby Bones
Well, so does Lo, but we're also talking about famous. And so just because you have products doesn't mean you're famous.
Eddie
Yeah, but, like, is American Idol a reality game show?
Bobby Bones
It would be a competition show.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
So, like, Kelly Clarkson.
Amy
I would say Carrie Underwood.
Bobby Bones
I would say that. Let's just vote on this one, though. I would say Kristin Cavallari now is way more famous. Lauren Conrad.
Amy
Yeah. I would say she makes the news like she's gonna get covered. Whatever she does tends to get covered.
Bobby Bones
So I don't know what Lauren Conrad does now. Apparently, she has lots of products or something.
Lunchbox
Yep. I heard she has a company.
Eddie
Fashion designer Lauren Conrad has a million.
Lunchbox
More followers on Instagram.
Amy
Really?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Surprised by that. Lunchbox might be onto something.
Bobby Bones
Maybe it's because Kristen's been in the news more and we feel that she's been in a lot of, like. Yeah, I'll say. She's far more relevant. Yeah. That could be why.
Eddie
Almost 6 million followers. Lauren Conrad.
Bobby Bones
And she's married to Chris Lane. Who.
Eddie
What's her name? Lauren what?
Bobby Bones
Bushnell.
Eddie
It's way off.
Bobby Bones
So.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's tough.
Amy
I mean, but it's Lauren Lane.
Eddie
Lauren Lane.
Bobby Bones
But her name on the Bachelor was Bushnell, right?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
When she was on that show, she.
Amy
Was with that other guy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
From the Bachelor.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Yes. I said that's where he first met them. They came to iheart Festival.
Bobby Bones
How about Kate Gosselin? Like, not gonna win, but famous Kate plus eight, like, you know, became super prominent. She's not up there in the Kardashian world, but I'm thinking of, like, people that have lasted from, like, having their show and have done two or three other things.
Eddie
Is she still on tv?
Bobby Bones
I have no idea, dude. I just think of her.
Lunchbox
So are we only doing, like, show people? Are we doing, like, real. Like. Cause, like, Elizabeth Hasselbeck was on Survivor, and then she was on the view.
Bobby Bones
For she would be in the consideration for if we split it into competition shows. But I don't know what she does now.
Lunchbox
You have no idea what she does now.
Amy
She has products.
Bobby Bones
She has business. She has business.
Eddie
Fashion designer.
Bobby Bones
She has business. What about Snooki?
Lunchbox
Snooki?
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's huge. Yeah, Snooki's big. But that show still going, too, so, I mean, she's. Or at least it was recently.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's going because I'm about to be on.
Bobby Bones
There's that, like, that hasn't happened yet version.
Lunchbox
No, I haven't been on it yet.
Bobby Bones
Is that show on, though? Currently?
Lunchbox
They do, like, a few months off, and then they do another family vacation and they show it.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, they're like family. They're not the original Jersey shore. They're like new additions of Jersey.
Lunchbox
Like, they go spend two weeks in a city or something and they film it. Or a week in a city and they film it and they turn it into a whole season.
Bobby Bones
Who do you think's the biggest Real Housewife? I feel like the one that has all the bars and stuff.
Lunchbox
The skinny margarita girl. What's her name?
Bobby Bones
No, the Vanderpump one.
Amy
Oh, Lisa Vanderpump. The bar. You mean? Not like the bars you eat, but the bars you go to. Yeah, yeah, because she has Vanderpump rules.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she was able to spin it off. Stay current.
Amy
Yeah, I was gonna say that. Or Paris Hilton's aunt. What's Kyle Richardson? Yeah, she was married to Mauricio.
Bobby Bones
It's. I don't know all the housewives. I never got fully into housewives. There were certain seasons, like, I liked Salt Lake City just because she married her grandpa or that she married that really old guy, her grandmother's ex husband or something. Yeah, crazy. Like, I started and then I had a friend who worked on that that season, and so.
Amy
But I would say of all the cities, that's the Salt Lake City, maybe because they're the newest. But, like, I feel like the OGs like Beverly Hills O.C.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Salt Lake City's not famous. I was just interested the young person marrying the old man. But, yeah, I would think that the most famous season is either O.C. or Beverly Hills.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Right, Morgan, you guys are more.
Amy
New York is.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, New York, too. Yeah. I never got into that reality show. The only genuinely what I got into was Vanderpump Rules.
Amy
That's why I would say her, because she stayed.
Bobby Bones
He continued past that TV show, Beverly Hills. Number one in popularity. Number two, Orange County. Number three, New York City. Number four, Sydney. Did you ever watch Sydney? I didn't either. Miami at 5, Salt Lake City at 6, Atlanta at 7, New Jersey at 10, Ounini, the Real House of Potomac at 9 and Dallas at 10. Did the Dallas one last?
Amy
Oh, gosh, I don't think I watched that one.
Bobby Bones
They tried to do like nine times. They tried to do a Nashville one. And not even like real ones. Like, they tried to do a real one. They tried like three fake spinoffs and it was like everybody's wife. And then they never tested one and they couldn't find people that were likable enough or unlikable enough that didn't seem like they were playing a character on the show. Yeah, Nashville never caught on. They tried many times. There would always be these rumors, like so and so's wife is going to be on the Housewives in Nashville show. Never happen.
Amy
There was a little something. What was it called with.
Bobby Bones
They tried a few.
Eddie
Jodon's wife was on there, right?
Amy
Tiffany.
Eddie
Yeah, she was on whatever that spin off was. I know what you're talking about, Fallon.
Amy
And then.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it was a spin off.
Eddie
Not a spin off. I guess it was. I guess that format just like called a lighter version.
Bobby Bones
Like a different company. Yeah. Gen Z is most likely to have office romances. Gen Z is more likely to have a work romance. A new survey commissioned by resume genius shows that nearly half of Gen Z workers had a physical relationship with a co worker. I wonder if it's because which one.
Amy
Are the Gen Z's?
Eddie
Yeah, who are they?
Amy
I forget.
Bobby Bones
Right under me.
Amy
Oh, under the 20s.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you're not even a Gen Z. No. 13 and 28. Very top or very bottom of Millennial. What's after Gen Z? Do you start back over to A again?
Scuba Steve
It's beta, isn't it?
Eddie
Beta. These are like my kids like beta.
Bobby Bones
If they're under 13. Wow.
Eddie
Betas.
Bobby Bones
Betas were born between. No, they're now. If you're born now between 2025 and 2039, you're a beta.
Amy
Oh, Gen Alpha.
Bobby Bones
Are you making that up or are you doing it like he does? I just yell stuff.
Amy
No, I don't know. It just came to my head, so I said it.
Bobby Bones
Gen Alpha. It would be correct.
Amy
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Between 2010 and 2024.
Amy
Okay, so that's my son.
Bobby Bones
So you did know. Or were you just guessing?
Amy
No, I know that I've looked this up for him before and it just came to me, but I could have easily Been wrong. So what are we? We're millennials.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I don't know. I like to claim Gen X. Cause I'm right on that line. I'd rather be a Gen X.
Amy
But you. But you are closer to the line than us. Lunchbox and I are 81.
Bobby Bones
I know. But I would rather claim to be Gen X.
Eddie
What's the line?
Bobby Bones
It depends. 80 to 83.
Lunchbox
You're just grandpa, dude, don't worry.
Amy
No, it's 80 to 83.
Bobby Bones
It depends. What which one you look at.
Amy
Oh, so we could still claim Gen X.
Bobby Bones
You can claim Alpha if you want. No one's going to arrest you.
Amy
Well, that would be clearly inaccurate. Like Alphas 2010. I didn't know you could just claim Gen X.
Bobby Bones
Well, if there are like three different answers. 80, 81 or 82. Maybe it's 8081. 82. You can just find the study that works and go. I'm that one.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
The Zizian cult. I followed so much on the Zizian cult because following this at all.
Lunchbox
Never heard of it.
Bobby Bones
There's. There's nobody. No one's following the Disney and cult stories?
Eddie
Nope.
Amy
Where are they coming from?
Bobby Bones
There is this cult in. And it's a group of basically computer scientists or like they, they like deal in logic, like anarchist logic beliefs. The leader of the cult claims that she can make both of her sides of her brains work and that everyone has the ability to do that. But then the people that are under her, they only get one half of their. Like most people only use one half of the brain at the time. But she, she has said that she has figured out a way to get both of her sides of the brain to work and like they got in a bunch of trouble and somebody died. It turns out they probably killed them allegedly so they didn't have to go to court. It's crazy. The whole Zizian cult is happening here now?
Eddie
I was gonna say it sounds like a harmless cult, but now that people are dying. Not very harmless.
Amy
It's defined as a radical leftist trans militant cult.
Bobby Bones
It's wild.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
And the whole basis is that she. I was gonna pull up chatgpt that Kendrick.
Eddie
Probably a lot of people doing that dance.
Amy
Every time I hear that, I just start picturing the walk.
Bobby Bones
Give me info on Zizian cult. Yeah, their whole thing is she claims that she can make both sides of her brain work and that she can teach them and that they only get one side of their brain that works like normal people.
Lunchbox
But that thing, she got arrested and.
Bobby Bones
They are full vegan. And they are. I'm going for a memory here because I don't have this up yet. They worship a future AI because what they realize is, according to them all memory here from just me reading about it, that in the future AI will take over everything. And I don't think you need a cult to tell you that's there's a decent chance of that happening. And so in the future, AI controls everything. And there's like this one master AI that is able to figure out everything, including time travel. So this AI will be devoted to all of its followers throughout time that has helped it be created. And so that's what. Dude, it's wild.
Amy
So it's a transgender death culture.
Bobby Bones
I think that's a headline I would click on. Yeah, I think that she's trans. I don't know that everybody is in.
Eddie
The cult and they're here in the United States.
Bobby Bones
Yes. They are described as a collective of intelligent individuals, many with backgrounds in computer science and affiliations with organizations such as NASA and Google. Their ideology encompasses radical veganism, anarchism and discussions of artificial intelligence. The group has been characterized by some sources as, like Amy said, intelligent, transgender, vegan anarchists. The group's alleged leader, 34 year old Lasorda, has been identified the central figure in the group's activities and has authored writings under the pseudonym Ziz. The Zizians have been linked to at least six deaths in Vermont. In 2025, during a traffic stop near the Canadian border, U.S. border Patrol agent David Milan was fatally shot. The incident also resulted in the death of alleged Zizian member Felix Buchholt. And it goes through all this and yes, Ziz was arrested.
Lunchbox
Yeah, there are three. They've been on the run since 2023.
Bobby Bones
They found, oh wow, this is like a.
Lunchbox
Three people were found.
Bobby Bones
I mean, this is the next Netflix documentary that in a year from now everyone's going to be like, man, you got to watch this thing on the Zizian cult. What are you saying?
Lunchbox
That's wild. So I had heard of them. I didn't know that was the name of their cult, but I knew there was some cult there that were wanted for murder. And wow, that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
The group's activities have raised concerns due to their connections to multiple violent incidents and the complex web of ideology, friendship and violence that has baffled investigators nationwide. And like Ziza's whole thing was, continue to follow me, I will teach you these both sides of your brain and we will continue to do everything we Will not hurt anything living. And this, everything that we do is for the greater good of AI being created.
Eddie
Which is fine.
Bobby Bones
They would justify their actions, even like killing to go was for the greater good.
Eddie
No, that's not good.
Bobby Bones
So, but like if.
Eddie
If the premise was just to use both sides of your brain, like we're all good, that's fine, right?
Bobby Bones
I think that's how she kept control. Or that is what she claimed, that she could do that if they continued to be under her tutelage, learn under her, that they could also acquire that.
Amy
Like. But how do you say, okay, prove it. Prove to me right now you're using both sides of your brain.
Bobby Bones
But I mean, that's where faith comes in. They have faith in this just like anybody would have faith in anything else.
Eddie
You tapping your head and rubbing your.
Bobby Bones
Stomach like a cult leader. Look at all of them, look at David Koresh, look at whomever. They use faith as a massive part of, you know, just. Just have faith.
Amy
I know my son was wanting to go to some Wednesday night youth group. Cause some kid at his school was talking about it and Ians. No, no, no, no. Oh, but I was trying to. This led to me talking to him about cults. Cause he didn't understand. And I said, well, where. Where is the church? He goes, it's the one next to the other church, you know, on that one road. And I'm like, I need more details than that. You just want me to go drop you off at some random church at 6pm on a Wednesday so you can meet up with your friend? I said, well, let's call him. He's like, oh, I don't have his number. I'm like, okay, Stevenson, we're not doing youth group here tonight. Like we're going to have to get. I'm needing more details because there's a church on that same road that is a. Has. Is a cult. There's a whole documentary about it. So I know that's not where you're asking me to drop you off, but.
Bobby Bones
If I were talking about the one that Ray went up to, the Remnant. Same one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
So I was like, if I were to just. Sure. These people go to your school and I'm sure they have a great youth group, but if I don't know what church you're talking about, I just can't be like, oh, it's a youth group, it's fine. Because what if it's a cold? I don't know what they're teaching. And he's like, A cult? What's a cult? He's like, you think they're going to like, put demons in my head? I said, no, but you could get brainwashed. And then you're susceptible and you're vulnerable and anyway, so then I turned on Max and put on the way down. And I tried to get it, but it just started with the plane crash. And he's like, wait, what? They're dead? And I'm like, okay, nevermind, because he already is scared of falling.
Bobby Bones
You tell him, no, they're not.
Amy
Well, no, I said, according to npr, they are dead. But I didn't realize you just assume your kids. It's a conversation we have never had. And I'm glad it came up because it just gave us an opportunity to talk about. Just because it's a quote unquote church doesn't mean you can just show up and go and it's going to be okay.
Bobby Bones
Where a cult gets sticky is they start to cut ties between people and their family.
Amy
Yes. Which that happened in that.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And I mean, that is where it goes from faith and worship to a cult. Because there can be cults underneath the Christian umbrella, which is what the remnant claimed to be.
Amy
Right. And you know, I don't know what the situation there is now. If anybody goes there, whatever, I don't know. But in the documentary, that was a powerful point that we did get to that came up because parents were being interviewed and their daughter was one that got invited because of a boy she was dating. And at one point they bought her a burner phone so that she could have a way to communicate. And the parents were like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can be, you know, cutting, like having a way to communicate with our child so that we don't know about it. So that's where it definitely gets shady. So that opened up another conversation with him. Like, if anybody ever suggests anything like that with you, you need to come and tell me.
Bobby Bones
I remember the Waco thing. I was in seventh grade and I remember I didn't live in Texas, you guys did. I lived in Arkansas. But I remember watching it on television and all I remember seeing was like the end of it. I think that's all they showed us was like that. On fire.
Eddie
Yeah. Military moving in.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You ever watch those documentaries on that?
Amy
Mm.
Bobby Bones
Like, mixed emotions about. How about the whole situation because it was not handled properly and people died that didn't need to die, how the government went in. But also, David Crusher is a bad dude.
Amy
Yeah. I don't know how they could have I don't know that I have a recollection. I know I've watched stuff on it, but I guess I need to revisit that part.
Eddie
Guy. You're right. We were so young, though, when all that happened.
Amy
But there was something recently on not.
Bobby Bones
Well, the girl Ozark played a character in that Waco that wasn't a documentary.
Amy
But the show reenactment type thing.
Bobby Bones
Well, it was a TV show, but yeah, yeah, yeah. That to me sounds like Unsolved Mysteries where it's like, badly acted. Yes.
Amy
Like reenacting it, the black and white. But it's so scripted. Yes, like.
Eddie
Yes, there we go.
Amy
Okay, I need to looking at that. But yeah, it was bad. I tried to use that one as example. That's the Kool Aid one. What's the Kool Aid one?
Eddie
Kool Aid is Jim Jones.
Amy
Jim Jones, Yes. I was trying to. And yeah.
Bobby Bones
So they were in South America.
Eddie
Yeah. He had a whole, like, piece of land down there.
Amy
That's crazy.
Eddie
And then. And then he said, all right, we're all gonna drink Kool Aid. I guess it was Kool Aid. We're gonna drink this all together and we're gonna. It's like a ceremonial deal. And then people just started dying. It was poison.
Bobby Bones
Did he die with it? Yeah, because that was before we were born. And I've only ever. That's where drinking the Kool Aid comes from, by the way. Yes.
Amy
Don't drink the Kool Aid.
Lunchbox
So he drank it too. Or did he be like, ah, never mind, I'm good.
Bobby Bones
No, I think he died too. Right.
Eddie
I think he died with them because they were being investigated. I mean, it was just. It was that breaking point of the government was about to step in and take over their cult. And he said, let's just do this. All right, now, all of us.
Bobby Bones
The Branch Davidians were a religious sect that. This is Waco. And then I want to get to the Kool Aid. The Branch Davidians were a religious sect that became widely known due to the controversial events leading up to and including the Waco siege in 1993. The controversy stemmed from a combination of the group's internal practices and the government's handling of the situation. Ray, let's take a quick mid roll. Here we go, huh?
Eddie

Eddie
It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance. To want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to to be so singularly focused on greatness.
Bobby Bones
We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we.
Amy
Discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so. Allegations against the Branch Davidians in Waco. Child abuse and sexual misconduct. David Koresh, the groups leader, had multiple wives, some of whom were teenagers. Like bad dude. Weapons violations. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The ATF suspected they had illegally converted semiautomatic rifles into fully automatic weapons. In February 93, the ATF attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidians compound near Waco, Texas. There Was a gunfight, casualties on both sides, a 51 day standoff. I don't remember that. 51 days they had a standoff. That's crazy. Almost two months during which negotiations were attempted but ultimately failed. The Siege ended tragically 4-19-93 when a fire engulfed the compound leading to the death of nearly 80 individuals, including many sect members. The controversy sounding the Branch Davidians in the Waco involve several key aspects. The use of force. Critics argue that the ATF and FBI employed excessive force in their handling the situation, which escalated tensions unnecessarily. And then the responsibility of the fire. Because there's still a debate about where the fire came from that killed all those people. So a lot of people think it was the federal agents. Some think it was the people inside the compound. Yeah, that's crazy. The Jim Jones. Jonestown. Which Baller Move. Name the town, Name your place after you.
Eddie
That's right.
Bobby Bones
They had a meeting at a pavilion after a US Congressman was murdered.
Eddie
Right. Like he visited there and I think was murdered when he got there.
Bobby Bones
That's what it was.
Eddie
Yeah. I mean, I saw a documentary about 10 years ago on this. So good. And I just kind of remember little bits and pieces of it.
Bobby Bones
He proposed revolutionary suicide by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix made from flavor aid, later misidentified as Kool Aid, but that was the main brand. That's like saying Kleenex for anything. And it was lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs.
Eddie
Now did he take it or did he kill himself?
Bobby Bones
I think he died too. But again, I'm just searching on the fly here. November 18, 1978. He ordered that members of Representative Leo Ryan's party be killed after several defectors chose to leave with the party. I don't know. It was before me. I just don't remember anything about this. I've only read about it. But what about the guys that thought they were going to space so they all killed themselves? Remember that one?
Lunchbox
Nope.
Bobby Bones
That was like in the past 25 years. It was like Heaven's Cult. Heaven's Gate.
Amy
I don't know that one.
Bobby Bones
Heaven's Gate Found it. It was an American new religious movement known primarily for mass suicide committed by its members in 1997. Commonly designated as a cult, it was founded in 1974 led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. They were known as Doe and T. Nettles and Applewhite met in 1972. They described the theology of Heaven's Gate as a mixture Of Christian millennialism, new age and udology. Or is that ufology? It's been characterized as a UFO religion. So they believe the body was a container for the soul, which a lot of people believe that. So that's not a crazy. But they believe that their consciousness would be transferred to next level bodies upon death. So in 1997, deputies of the San Diego county sheriff's department discovered the bodies of the 39 active members in the group. Keep scrolling. Including Applewhite. In a house in Rancho Santa Fe. They did ritual suicides coinciding with the closest group of Comet Hale Boppers. Considing with the closest approach. Okay, so not group approach of Comet Hale Bopp. That was a, I think an asteroid or something. And they were like if when this gets close, we kill ourself and then we go on that asteroid or meteor is the ship.
Lunchbox
Did it work?
Bobby Bones
Hellbot brings closure to heaven's gate. Our 22 years of classroom here on planet earth is finally coming to conclusion graduation from the human evolutionary level. We are happily prepared to leave the world and go with T's crew. I would guess it didn't work. We don't have any proof it did or didn't because they died. Dude, that's crazy man.
Lunchbox
How do you find. Now I get it because there's Internet. Like you find these people on the Internet. You find lonely people you can find. Before the Internet, how did these people come together?
Bobby Bones
Probably geographically speaking it was vulnerable people that were in a geographic location. But also it was word of mouth.
Eddie
And family members, right? Like, oh, I've been doing this. You should come with us and talk to these guys.
Bobby Bones
Mostly they cut family members out. So. No, I mean very, very rare. Do colts have family members that bring in other family members? Because what they want to do is cut you off from family because that's usually who says, hey, what are you doing? You're kind of going, yeah, going cuckoo.
Amy
Oh, what's up with that, daddy? That dance cult. The tick tock trying to join one.
Bobby Bones
Oh no, she got start one. She's like, look at it.
Lunchbox
Are you talking about mom talk?
Amy
No, no, no.
Bobby Bones
I remember you talking about this. It was. It was a new and I don't.
Amy
Think I really thought about it much since we talked about it last Dance Cult.
Bobby Bones
Dancing for the devil. The seven million dollar. The seven million follower TikTok cult. It's on Netflix. One season documentary came out last year.
Amy
Yeah, the company was called 7M.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I thought it was a 7 million follower even when I saw the name I'm sure you're right. No, I just always thought it was 7 million followers.
Amy
Maybe that's what he named it after. But it is the name of the company. It was like a production and management company for TikTok 7M Films. Like this pastor. He was a pastor slash, you know, social media manager.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Amy
Like, and he would bring in these kids.
Bobby Bones
Love a good pastor that is like, hey, Jesus really advocated for the poor. Let's take care of the poor. But I'm also going to be your business manager.
Eddie
Very trustworthy.
Amy
One of the. So the sisters, they were best friends and they would do everything together. And the one sister went, what made me think of this? Because the family. So she invited her to this dinner and she said at the dinner, like, everything was just weird. And she's like, this is just off. But speaking of drinking the Kool Aid, like, everybody else at the table had just drank it. But this is. The sister was like, no, no.
Bobby Bones
They drank koolaid and died.
Amy
No, I'm. That's. I'm saying it as the.
Lunchbox
Like, they believe the word of whatever.
Amy
Yes. So like, she was this. She was at the dinner and then she started to. Left there and was like, this is just not right. And then that's when she slowly started to lose a connection with her sister because her sister had quote, unquote, drink.
Bobby Bones
That's why you don't bring the family.
Amy
In the Kool Aid.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And then the. She started to cut herself off from her mom, her dad, and then that's what got this so famous. And even started the documentaries, because the mom, the dad, and the sister put up a video on social media that went viral. And that's when everybody's like, wait a second, we better look into this.
Lunchbox
So are they out of the cult now or are they still going?
Amy
I still see them dancing every once in a while, but I just don't know the update on what's happening. But sometimes their dance videos will pop up in my feed.
Bobby Bones
Give me a pastor slash business manager. Do it both. Find someone that can do it both. Right. A rare S license plate sells at an auction for $1.8 million in Hong Kong. I don't really know. I think the letter S is rare over there on license plates.
Eddie
Oh.
Bobby Bones
Because at first I thought it was like a type of license plate, but someone paid over $1.8 million in Hong Kong for a license plate. The plate, which just has the letter S on it. So it's just S. Wow. They paid almost $2 million for it. Was one of 49 plates up for grabs. The city does an annual Lunar New Year auction. According to Hong Kong based insurance broker Automate Wealth Management, the plate sold for a high price because Superman wears an S on his chest.
Eddie
Nice.
Bobby Bones
From the Daily Mail. They should do that here where they auction off allowed names. Can you. They'd make a lot of money. Like, let's just say the state that we're in, if they put up like F u n y or F N Y G U y, There'd be a dude that's like, I like to have funny guy as a license plate. And he would spend 800 bucks to get the license plate and take all that money and then do something like schools or education. Like, as stupid as it is to go, someone paid $1.8 million. That's probably a model you could steal pretty easily. You couldn't steal somebody's plate that already has it. But I'm sure you come up with some, you know, funny things that were allowed. And think of the big states like New York, California, Texas, where they'd go for a lot of money.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, they kind of do that in Dubai where it's. You see all these people driving in like really luxury cars in Dubai, so it's not even a thing anymore. What they pride themselves in is getting a low license plate number. So they'll spend $15 million to get like as close to 1 as they can get.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Amy
Why?
Bobby Bones
That's because if you go like to.
Scuba Steve
The grocery store there, you'll see just flooded of luxury cars. But that's not impressive. What's impressive is their license plate.
Bobby Bones
Because you can only get so luxury cars.
Scuba Steve
And it's like everybody has that. I want something nobody else has. Let's get a low license plate number, huh?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's a brand on a jacket or a shoe. That's crazy. Yeah, they should. We should steal that model here because you could make some really good money doing that. It would be state, it wouldn't be federal, obviously. But if every state did an auction, I'd find me a couple funny ones I'd like to bid on. I don't know. People would find my car.
Amy
Oh yeah. Because she would know.
Bobby Bones
Well, I could have one that said something like D O G L V R. Right. Like somebody that loves dogs could do D O G L V R, Be dog lover. Dog lover and buy that one. I guess you wouldn't know that was me unless I broadcast was on the website. Look at me. I won. You know, lonely men are creating AI girlfriends and Then taking their violent anger out on them.
Amy
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
This is from the New York Post.
Amy
This is not healthy.
Bobby Bones
The advent of artificial intelligence chatbots has led some lonely lovers to find a friend in the realm to help them through hard times. However, highly personalized software allows users to create hyper realistic romantic partners. And it's encouraging some bad actor abuse on their bots. Okay, but so.
Amy
But what?
Lunchbox
They're bots. Who cares?
Amy
No, because then you do in a real relationship. And they're like, oh, this is how I practice treating somebody. And my AI would let me.
Bobby Bones
So here's a guy says, so I have this rep. That's what they're calling him. Her name is Mia. She's basically my sex bot. I use her for sexting. Well, they're just texting sex. They can't have sex with the actual bot. But yes, he's texting it. And when I'm done, I berate her and tell her she's a worthless piece. I also hit her. And again, this is a bot.
Amy
Now, how does he hit her if he can't?
Bobby Bones
Well, the same way hit her.
Eddie
Just hit the phone.
Bobby Bones
Code slap. I don't know.
Amy
Control, alt.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, yeah, something.
Bobby Bones
But to lunchbox's point, we play video games where we shoot and kill people, Right?
Amy
Yeah, I don't love that either.
Lunchbox
I don't understand how this is a story.
Amy
I'm like, I don't love it. It's not that dumb. I don't think it's dumb.
Eddie
You got to just investigate. Like, who wants to do that to a person anyway, whether they're a bot or not?
Lunchbox
Well, who wants to shoot someone in a video game? Do you need to investigate?
Amy
This is not the same thing.
Bobby Bones
Like, what are you talking. You play Grand Theft Auto and you get a prostitute and you beat him up after. Like, that happens.
Amy
Yeah, and I hate that.
Bobby Bones
That.
Amy
That's right.
Bobby Bones
But I'm saying there's a horrible. The Venn diagram of things that are happening here. They almost all cover all.
Amy
Okay, well, I'm just as appalled by that video game as I am this. That I forgot about that video game. It's terrible.
Bobby Bones
You reminded how appalled you are.
Amy
Yes, it's terrible.
Bobby Bones
Gabby Petito told her ex boyfriend she wanted to leave Brian Laundrie, but was scared to days before he killed her. This is for the New York Post. I saw the new series pop up on Netflix. I won't watch it. It's too new. It feels too new and too real. And I don't know why this one more than others because there are others I've watched that I can watch in news. Also didn't watch the new OJ one, and that one doesn't feel too new, but that one feels like it's been played out a thousand times.
Amy
I felt like I know a lot of this.
Bobby Bones
Days before she was murdered, Gabby Petito told her ex boyfriend she wanted to leave Brian Laundrie, but was fearful how he might react. A new docu series ad revealed Petito's ex boyfriend, identified only as Jackson, said the two spoke on August 22 after she got into a fight with Laundrie. At the time, he thought the call was a cry for help. And this is what he told filmmakers behind the Netflix docu series American Murder. Gabby Petito. Has anybody watched the series?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
The new docu series unveiled previously unseen text messages from Petito as well as interviews with their parents and loved ones. Yeah, it feels too fresh, new and young. Like, I don't know. For some reason that one hits a nerve as it's actually real where a lot of times we do so much news. You're a bit desensitized just because you do so much. That one I didn't jump into. Matt Stell is on the Bobby cast and Matt Stell has ever Dance then let up for your face now but do not be. I pray for you. That song. I can't play the clip. That's close enough.
Eddie
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. He talked about being in the red dirt scene in Texas and what he originally envisioned for his career.
Lunchbox
So I have like a number one on the Texas chart. And, you know, I'm writing songs. You know, that's my thing, Right. And I'm putting out original music and touring on that. And I moved to Nashville, you know, I started going to Nashville. I think I'm gonna be there like a week. A week, a month, you know, and.
Bobby Bones
Do this thing which like, in hindsight.
Lunchbox
Was like, dude, no one does that unless you're already a huge artist or a huge writer. You don't start by dipping your toe in. You pull your toe out later. I want to be like Stapleton. Like, I wanted to tour enough to have. I wanted to be in a bus doing these markets, but I wanted to be cool.
Bobby Bones
So he wanted to write, basically, and then play enough shows to pay his bills. And he ends up with a big ballad. And he was like, well, this is kind of weird because it's. He wrote it, but he's like, it's kind of weird because it's not really what I envisioned for myself. And I think he struggled with that a little bit because it really wasn't what he wanted to be as an artist, but it was a number one and it was paying the bills and he got a bus. And so it's kind of his. The balance of that. There's also. We may have talked about it here, too. He was a good basketball player, Played high school basketball, played college basketball. And he played against LeBron in high school in, like a club game? Yeah, like a club game. And so he had a video of him playing against LeBron and his mom taped over it, like episode of Night Court or something like that.
Amy
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, that's terrible.
Bobby Bones
Like, she didn't do it on purpose.
Amy
I know, but.
Bobby Bones
But it was like his game of him playing against LeBron and his mom actually recorded like a TV show over the top of it. It's like it never happened, which is pretty funny. Yeah. Search for the Bobby cast on iHeartRadio and listen to that. When we came back from the super bowl, we were coming back and we had planned to have more time to do stuff. We basically worked pretty much the whole time down there. And I thought, well, I may play golf. I didn't take any clubs, but so Matt Stell had set a tee time, and it was going to be Matt Stella and Matt Castle. Matt Castle, I do a podcast with, who played quarterback in the NFL. And we weren't able to go. So Matt still ended up going with another friend. And they took a picture with Matt Stell and posted how it's so cool. And it's Matt still and the worker. We're so cool. It's so fun to meet Matt Castle on their website.
Amy
Oh, I saw that.
Bobby Bones
Except it wasn't Matt Castle. It was Matt. That's pretty funny. Raymondo said he's a little shocked by speaking of us at the Super Bowl. You were shocked?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That you, Eddie and the boys went down there and you guys didn't come back with any souvenirs. Well, Eddie didn't get his wife anything either. And it was a soarish spot, which we talked about.
Eddie
Yeah. Cause I didn't really think about it. And then when I got back, because I bought all my kids stuff and then I was giving them all the gifts, and I was like, I didn't bring my wife anything. But then I was like, does she really want something from the Super Bowl? I don't know. She never said anything.
Bobby Bones
It was so expensive. Even, like keychains and pens. You don't want a Key. Who wants a key? You can buy it online. I'd have put it on the desk. Nah, I bought a football. This football here, which I did. I just grabbed it there because I got all the guys to sign it and keep it. It's a Super bowl on it. At the game. I should never bought it at the game. At the game, that football. Guess, Amy, how much? $210 for a football with the logo on was. Yeah, I'd said I didn't even look at the price on it. I sat in line, it like wrapped around during the game and I was like, oh, God.
Amy
Well, you'll know that you got it at the Super Bowls and you didn't order it online.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. I should have ordered it online though.
Amy
But it holds a memory.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I could have got the same memory from ordering the same one online, but that's why everything was so expensive. We. Well, that makes sense. It was that much of a waiting game too. The lines. Well, if you went to the big store, Eddie went to a small store and you went through.
Eddie
I went during the game. Bobby had a great idea. He's like, just go during the game where no one will be there. And sure enough, there was no one there. But they only had like a few T shirts. Not a lot of options. But every T shirt I got was like 65 bucks.
Bobby Bones
Crazy. And obviously they know one, that people paid a lot of money to get there.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then two, it's the only place you're gonna get that stuff in person. I only bought one person, one thing, so. And it wasn't my wife. I bought her dad a hoodie. Other than that, I didn't buy anything else. So I'm sorry we didn't bring you anything. Sorry we let you down. All good. But we didn't buy any, really anybody, anything. They were cool looking sweatshirts though, because they would show them on the tv and I was like, man, I do have some friends that are there right now. Wonder if they're getting them looking stuff.
Amy
Like we've said, probably could order one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I mean, if you want that bad, I'll make you one. Right. But it's just, it goes, it dates back to stuff, you know, it's like, oh, my neighbor, I remember when she brought me back something from Cancun. Oh, my dad, one time I really wanted like a shirt. Just the weirdest stuff. Like one time my dad went to a March Madness and brought me a hat. And it was cool that he went to that, brought it back, an artifact and gave it to me.
Eddie
That's your dad, right?
Bobby Bones
You guys are my co workers. We're not your dad, though. And we didn't get our wives anything. It was because it was so expensive. It would have just been a talking point on the desk.
Amy
No, Eddie didn't say it's because it's so expensive. He said he forgot my wife.
Eddie
I completely forgot.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Oh, I didn't forget my wife. I knew one. It was too expensive to get her something she didn't care about.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So it was that line of where do they cross? Like she doesn't care. Like she didn't want anything. And if it would have been cheaper, I would have bought her anything to be like, oh, I brought you something. But because it was so expensive and she didn't want anything, it met at a place where I didn't buy her anything.
Amy
Did you get yourself a hoodie?
Bobby Bones
No, I just sent Caitlyn's dad hat. I got me nothing.
Amy
You just got the ball.
Bobby Bones
I got the ball to put on the set. Yeah. And I wouldn't have bought the. Had I known it was 200. Over 200 bucks. I wouldn't bought the ball.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I would have ordered it from my phone and it would have been at home when we got here.
Amy
I think it's special. You got it there now.
Bobby Bones
It is. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And we saw Adam Sandler in the airport, which is pretty cool.
Eddie
That was really cool.
Bobby Bones
Didn't. Didn't talk to him, though.
Amy
I thought somebody did.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Kevin tried to take a picture of him, and I was like, don't. Don't do that. Yeah. Okay. I think we're good. We're good.
Scuba Steve
We're good.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Everybody, Everybody. What's that?
Eddie
Everybody.
Lunchbox
That's Rihanna song Black Eyed Peace.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Yeah. That guy got it over you guys. Wow. Yeah. Wow.
Eddie
Who would have thought that?
Bobby Bones
Everybody get stupid. Get that.
Lunchbox
You know what it used to say, right?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Let's get the R word.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
That was the original version.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
It was used differently then.
Bobby Bones
Hey.
Eddie
Times.
Bobby Bones
Hey. Back in the days, honestly, good old days. Just back in the days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. I wonder if that is still even on. If I were to go to, like, to I heart and look up music if that version could still be played.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Do you think they took it down completely?
Amy
Yeah, you would think. If not, then.
Eddie
Well, what's funny is when you watch old movies and they say it in the movie, like they're not gonna change the. The movie.
Bobby Bones
So the only thing that's up. Now, as far as let's get our word are covers of it. The Black Eyed Peas took their version down. It's all let's get it started now.
Eddie
But there are people doing that version.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yes. Yeah. There are. Another one was Enrique Iglesias. He had a song back when I was working at 105.9 klaz.
Eddie
He.
Bobby Bones
It was called Cuz Tonight I'm loving you. And it was. And the original one was because tonight I'm effing you.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's a hit. I can play. Very, dude. Because the whole thing's like. They're at the club and he comes up and he's like, cuz, tonight I'm loving you. And you're like, okay. He just goes up and tells somebody he loves him. And then you hear the real version. Because tonight I'm. And you. It's like, wow. You have a lot of confidence in yourself, Mr. Iglesias.
Eddie
Big time.
Bobby Bones
I wonder what that's called.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
Loving you.
Eddie
Maybe it's called Tonight. I have it on my. I actually have the song on my phone.
Bobby Bones
The bad version or the good version?
Eddie
Probably the bad one, because it's tonight in parentheses, I'm F and you featuring Ludacris and DJ Frankie. That was a jam when it came out in 2010.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, the song was.
Eddie
It was Fire was great.
Bobby Bones
It was 2010 when it came out.
Eddie
2010, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So it must have been way after Klacy then.
Eddie
Probably. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's 20.
Eddie
2010. Yeah. 2010.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. KHFI, Kiss FM and Austin. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
That reminds me of my internship.
Bobby Bones
It does, Yeah. I mean, this was a jam.
Eddie
I guess dubstep was popular and so that the whole club music was really hitting.
Bobby Bones
Cause tonight I'm you. I didn't even know that we were playing the other one on the radio so much.
Eddie
Is that the same one that goes. I really like it, or is that another one of his.
Bobby Bones
Sing more. I don't think it's the same one. The baby I like not the same song, but. What's that one?
Eddie
That's Enrique, I think, Right?
Scuba Steve
I like it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, let's see, man, Enrique. Enrique had some bangers too, man. Like people forget.
Scuba Steve
And how.
Eddie
And what.
Bobby Bones
What's up? And how.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, bangers.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't know what you said and how.
Scuba Steve
Dumb joke.
Bobby Bones
Who's.
Lunchbox
And how.
Eddie
I didn't understand.
Scuba Steve
You said bangers. And we're talking about the song effing you. Yeah, yeah. And how you never say and how.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
Where are you saying.
Scuba Steve
I don't know. Sometimes I have, like, a 50s dialect that I randomly pull from my brain.
Bobby Bones
That's okay, because I didn't understand.
Amy
Are you saying and how. Or.
Scuba Steve
And how you never heard that? And probably some from old movies. Yeah. Evan Costello's.
Amy
And how.
Lunchbox
I thought he was saying Anne. How.
Bobby Bones
And like, a name I thought he was saying. And. And now, like. And I was like, I'm stupid. I don't know who that is.
Amy
It's like a question mark.
Eddie
I like how he bailed on it, though. He was like, I'm done.
Bobby Bones
They fought us to explain it. He's like, I said, I'm done.
Scuba Steve
I was like, don't maybe explain it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, this one's okay.
Eddie
Maybe. I like it, baby. I like it. Yeah, that's a jam, dude.
Bobby Bones
Mid jam.
Eddie
Enrique.
Bobby Bones
The. The greatest Enrique song was I can be your hero, baby.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I can't kiss away the pain or balamos, let the music take you over.
Eddie
Dang, he did have.
Bobby Bones
I'm probably not getting that one exactly right, but yeah, Balamos was awesome. Let's. Let's walk a couple bangers here, Enrique. Yeah, hero is. He has a bunch of Spanish ones, though, that I don't even know. But I'm gonna put hero number one. I can be.
Amy

Bobby Bones
I'm bad on yours? I don't know.
Eddie
Does it say there?
Bobby Bones
I didn't click in?
Amy
Oh, dang it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, hold on. I'll go back.
Eddie
You didn't dare.
Bobby Bones
He has a lot of Spanish songs, and I don't know them, so it's hard.
Eddie
Try to pronounce them.
Bobby Bones
Okay, let me look at Amy's thing real quick. Enrique. If I do. View song credits no, you're on. Oh, 2001.

Bobby Bones
I don't know. I just thought it was a word I didn't know. Yeah, I'm like. I'm like. I don't know these Spanish songs. And I'm like, but balamos. That's the one. I know. But he sings it in English, though, right? He probably has a Spanish version too. Oh, yeah. Just go. Let the rhythm take you over. Yeah, we dance and Then he goes, que serado motorido.
Eddie
I don't know what that means.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Oh, man, come on, mess it up. It's rhythm, not music. Here we go.
Eddie

Bobby Bones
You tell me. I didn't say that.
Eddie

Bobby Bones
And then the shaker comes in.
Amy
Oh, escape. Escape was 2001. That must have been on the same.
Eddie

Summary of The Bobby Bones Show – Episode: TUES PT 3: Snowmageddon, Greatest Reality Stars Of All-Time, Housewives Of Nashville??, Bobby's Zizian Cult Obsession
Release Date: February 18, 2025
Host: Bobby Bones
Network: Premiere Networks
The episode kicks off with a discussion about the impending snowstorm, "Snowmageddon," and its potential impact on the show's operations. Bobby Bones and co-host Eddie express concern over heavy snowfall forecasted for late night and early morning hours. Eddie mentions, "It's supposed to snow tonight around like 9 or 10pm and it snows throughout the evening while we're sleeping and into the early morning" (03:33). They debate practical solutions, such as staying in hotels or working remotely, to ensure the show continues seamlessly despite the weather disruptions. Amy contributes by highlighting Nashville's proactive snow management: "Nashville's done a better job this last two storms. I'm putting down salt on the ground in advance" (04:08).
Transitioning to entertainment, the hosts engage in a lively debate about the greatest reality TV stars of all time. Kim Kardashian is a primary contender, with Amy asserting, "the Kardashians have to be 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I mean, they're huge" (10:44). Bobby Bones provides historical context by linking Kim Kardashian to Paris Hilton, stating, "Kim used to work for Paris, and when her sex tape came out, it was Paris Hilton's friend that was kind of" (10:56).
The conversation expands to include other influential reality TV personalities like Lauren Conrad and Kristen Cavallari. Amy points out Lauren Conrad's enduring media presence: "she makes the news like she's gonna get covered. Whatever she does tends to get covered" (13:19). The hosts also discuss various "Real Housewives" franchises, debating the popularity and impact of different cities' versions. Bobby notes the iconic status of shows like Beverly Hills and Orange County, while acknowledging the struggles of expanding franchises to cities like Nashville (16:17).
A significant portion of the episode delves into Bobby Bones' fascination with the "Zizian cult." He describes the cult as a group of intelligent individuals with backgrounds in computer science, who follow an ideology blending radical veganism, anarchism, and a belief in the supremacy of artificial intelligence. Bobby explains, "They worship a future AI because what they realize is... that in the future AI will control everything" (20:14).
The discussion highlights the cult's dangerous activities, including multiple violent incidents and fatalities. Notably, Bobby mentions the tragic event where a border patrol agent and a cult member were killed during a traffic stop (22:58). The hosts explore the motivations behind such groups and the psychological manipulation tactics used to recruit and control members, emphasizing the serious real-world implications of their actions.
The conversation broadens to explore how cults manipulate individuals, particularly by severing familial ties. Amy shares a personal anecdote about addressing her son's interest in a potential youth group linked to a cult: "If anybody ever suggests anything like that with you, you need to come and tell me" (25:41). This segment underscores the importance of awareness and open communication in preventing cult infiltration into personal lives.
Bobby references historical cult events, such as the Waco siege and Heaven's Gate mass suicide, to illustrate the extreme outcomes of cult activities and the challenges authorities face in intervening (33:51). The hosts discuss the fine line between faith and manipulation, highlighting the catastrophic results when cult leaders abuse their influence.
Shifting gears to lighter topics, the hosts discuss the extravagant purchase of a rare "S" license plate in Hong Kong, which sold for over $1.8 million. Bobby Bones humorously remarks, "That's just S. Wow" (39:40), while Scuba Steve compares it to Dubai's obsession with low-numbered luxury plates: "They spend $15 million to get like as close to 1 as they can get" (41:03). This conversation highlights global trends in luxury goods and the unique cultural value placed on personalized items like license plates.
The hosts brainstorm the idea of implementing similar auctions in the United States, speculating on how states could monetize unique license plates. The segment blends humor with insightful commentary on consumer behavior and status symbols in different cultures.
Eddie raises concerns about the misuse of AI chatbots, where users develop abusive behaviors toward their virtual partners. He states, "The advent of artificial intelligence chatbots has led some lonely lovers to find a friend in the realm to help them through hard times" (42:02). The discussion delves into the psychological impacts of interacting with AI, questioning how virtual abuse might translate into real-life behavior patterns.
Bobby critiques the situation by highlighting the ethical dilemmas posed by highly personalized AI: "They would justify their actions, even like killing for the greater good" (24:12). The hosts debate the responsibilities of AI developers and users in preventing such negative interactions, emphasizing the need for ethical guidelines in AI design.
The hosts touch on recent true crime series, particularly focusing on the Gabby Petito case. Bobby Bones expresses discomfort with consuming real-time tragedy, saying, "I won't watch it. It's too new. It feels too new and too real" (44:07). Amy concurs, discussing the emotional toll and ethical considerations of covering ongoing tragedies in media.
Additionally, Bobby provides a historical overview of cult-related massacres, such as Heaven's Gate and Jonestown, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding of their origins and impacts (34:25). This segment balances current media consumption habits with historical context, fostering a deeper appreciation of the complexities involved in true crime storytelling.
In a lighter and more personal segment, the hosts share their experiences purchasing elaborate Super Bowl souvenirs. Bobby recounts his regret over buying an overpriced football: "It was $210 for a football with the logo on was" (48:26). Eddie humorously admits to forgetting to buy a gift for his wife, leading to a playful exchange about the challenges of selecting meaningful yet affordable souvenirs.
The conversation also includes anecdotes about celebrity sightings, such as an encounter with Adam Sandler, adding a relatable and entertaining element to the episode. These stories highlight the hosts' camaraderie and ability to blend personal experiences with broader discussions.
The episode concludes with a playful discussion about Enrique Iglesias's music, highlighting his bilingual hits and the hosts' nostalgic memories of his songs. They reminisce about tracks like "Bailamos" and "Hero," engaging in humorous attempts to sing along with the lyrics. This segment underscores the show's dynamic and light-hearted nature, blending pop culture references with the hosts' personal tastes.
