[Joel]

The Bobby Bone Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I have country things in history today. I rarely do these, but my wife told me you start like History more. Is that what old people do?

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, I don't know, maybe. Maybe just live more of it. So now it's kind of fun to look back at.

[Eddie]

History has always been fun, though. Like, you've liked history.

[Bobby Bones]

I think so. But now I'm way more obsessed with it. As of today. Wednesday, January 28th. Today, in 1956, Elvis Presley appeared for the first time on TV ever, singing Shake, Rattle and Roll on. On the Dorsey Brothers stage show.

[Amy]

Can you sing that song Shake, Rattle and Roll?

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. Yeah. I'm sure that wasn't a song he wrote mostly. Cause he didn't do a lot of songs he wrote till way later. And who knows if he actually wrote them. Next up, in 1964, Buck Owens recorded Together Again. And my heart skips a beat. Oh. In 1985, Today We Are the World was recorded with 45 artists, including Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and Waylon Jennings. There's a lot more people than that. But that was on this day in 1985.

[Eddie]

Waylon Jennings walked on that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Did you? I posted a clip yesterday of Waylon Jennings. He was on a television show. And a lady in the crowd gets up and is like, waylon, my grandson won't stop listening to rap music. What do you think I should do? You think I can get him to stop listening? And Waylon's like, ma', am, when we were young, we listened to stuff and made our parents go crazy, too. So I don't think there's anything wrong with listening to rap music. It was not the answer she was looking for.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow. That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was real cool. I still have it up on my story. It probably goes away if you listen to this in the evening, but, yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. Do you see that?

[Amy]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm.

[Amy]

No. Are you disappointed I hadn't seen it?

[Bobby Bones]

No. You lit up like you knew what I was talking about.

[Amy]

Oh, no, I was interested. Got it in what you were saying, like, because I was anticipating that he was gonna be like, Yeah, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

That'S what most people talk.

[Amy]

Take away is radio man that We.

[Eddie]

Are the World documentary was one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

So good.

[Joel]

That was really good.

[Amy]

It was good.

[Bobby Bones]

It was Good. Today in 1989, the number one song on the Billboard country chart. And, Amy, I'll have you sing it here. Deeper Than the Holler by Randy Travis.

[Amy]

Our love is deeper than the holler Water than the river Stronger than the hundred Stronger Every day.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, good. Today in 1995, the number one song was Sing It Here. Alan Jackson. Gone country.

[Amy]

She's gone country. Back to her roots. She's gone country. Look at them boobs.

[Bobby Bones]

Originally was written as a. Hey, people, stop acting like your country when you're not.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Because there were a lot of posers. Because it was kind of cool again.

[Eddie]

Oh, dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Then it kind of took a different.

[Eddie]

Meaning, like a protest song.

[Amy]

A new Connor.

[Bobby Bones]

Today in 1996, during the Super Bowl, Hank Williams song you're Cheating Hard appeared in a Pepsi commercial. Joe Diffie's Pickup man appeared in a Ford commercial. And the Dallas Cowboys won against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Eddie]

Hey, those were the days, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Those were the days. 1996.

[Eddie]

We could just go back to those days.

[Amy]

Savor it.

[Bobby Bones]

Today in 2003, somebody like youe was released as part of the soundtrack from Keith Urban to How to Lose a guy in 10 days. I know that was on that soundtrack. Did you?

[Amy]

It's when she's on the boat. Coming back from staying with his parents.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Eric Church scores his number one first single with a Drink in My Hand.

[Eddie]

Jam.

[Bobby Bones]

Rocker Jack White brought out Loretta Lynn to duet on her album at a concert at Bridgestone. They did a record together.

[Eddie]

That sounds familiar.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we weren't here for that. But they did. See, in 2018, on this day, KFC introduced a new commercial to back its Smoky Mountain BBQ flavor. And it was the introduction of Reba as Colonel Sanders.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, I remember that. That was cool.

[Bobby Bones]

On this day in 2018, Chris Stapleton wins three trophies during the 60th Grammy Awards. And on this day, Luke Combs hit gold with Must have Never Met yout Man. He has so many hits. I can't even place that one right now.

[Eddie]

Must have never met you when you.

[Bobby Bones]

Have so many songs. I think he has, like 30 number. No, he has, like, something in a row. I just did a long interview with him, but I can't put it out for a couple weeks on Netflix. But I don't know how many in a row he has. Mike, what does he have in a row? Let me see. Because since his first one, every song has gone number one. Our love is deeper than the holler. I saw a really funny Al impression yesterday that made me laugh out loud. It was like, here's my impression of an owl. I didn't do this. It's somebody else of an owl. As Leanne Rhymes who? But they were nailing it. I couldn't do that. It was awesome. You see the Note over there, Mike? 24 is 24 number ones in a row. Luke Combs does feels like he was here just yesterday to starting. All right, around the room, Amy.

[Amy]

So Sydney Sweeney, she is launching her own lingerie brand called syrn by Sydney Sweeney. And to promote it, she strung a bunch of bras together and went up and hung them on the Hollywood sign.

[Joel]

Got in trouble too.

[Amy]

And she made a video and posted it. And so now she might get charged with trespassing and vandalism for draping the signs with dozens of bras without getting a permit beforehand.

[Bobby Bones]

Money well spent.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it might be worth it.

[Joel]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because we're talking about it.

[Amy]

Really? No. Yeah. I'm like, okay, syrn, Yeah, I saw the story where and the bras look cute.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't see any of the actual underwear cause I wouldn't pop in my feed. But I did see that she. I saw the video of her like in the middle, like made the O or something throwing bras in it. And it's like Cindy Sweeney could get in trouble. And I'm like, oh, are you kidding? That's great publicity. Yeah, yeah, that's good publicity. Okay, good. Is that it?

[Amy]

That's my story.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Eddie. Yeah.

[Eddie]

So good news. If you want to go to Yale and your family makes under $200,000, Yale has now a program that you can go there for free.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't quite work like that, but.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like, isn't that crazy?

[Bobby Bones]

It's not. If you want to go to Yale.

[Eddie]

Yes. You got to be accepted.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how you should start it. If you get accepted to Yale and your family makes less than $200,000 a year, it's paid for.

[Amy]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's called Yale poor.

[Eddie]

Yale poor. But I mean, it's part of their financial aid, which I mean, I feel like that's like pretty cool for most schools to do if they can do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Most schools don't have the endowment of like a Yale or a Harvard. And most of those schools is mostly it's just rich kids or really, really high performing kids that somehow figure out how to get the money. And so this helps those really high performing kids that maybe wouldn't go there because they didn't have the money.

[Eddie]

Man, that'd be cool.

[Amy]

And they want them because they're obviously smart.

[Eddie]

Well, these scholarships though, like, so if your son or daughter goes to Yale, you still have to pay for housing and all that, right? Or is that covered with tu?

[Amy]

I think it's oh, sorry. What are you saying?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a different fee. Like, like, even saying that the dorm costs money.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so that'd be tough, too. Like, if you're.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like add ons. Yeah, it's like when you guys fly a legion or something, you got to, like, buy water and stuff.

[Eddie]

Seat belt, water.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, there's tuition. There's tuition with room and board. There's tuition when you get food because you get a card. All that stuff is, like an add on.

[Eddie]

And then books. Is that even a thing now? I don't even know.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Books were such an ordeal.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Amy]

I remember there was so expensive. And then we would be like, we'll go sell them back for, like, basically nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

And I get so irritated if I bought the books and never needed it the whole semester. And then you sell it back. Yeah. Like, it. It's like a car. As soon as you buy them, lose the value or.

[Eddie]

Or you'd find a friend. Like, hey, you took this class last year. Do you still have that book? Like, yeah, I do. And then you bring in, like, oh, they have a new book now, a new edition.

[Joel]

I bought one book. It was two different chapters. Like, I had. Was missing two chapters. I was like, I'll get away with it. That's fine. It was five bucks for the book. So you do it. Because it was a new edition came out, so it had two new chapters in it. And I was like, I don't need those chapters.

[Eddie]

Oh, I tell you what was cool, though, is being able to write in your book, because in high school, you couldn't do that. Like, you'd get in trouble.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but if I. If you wrote too much in your book, they would devalue the book even more because they were like. They would, like, flick through it real quick if they bought it back to see if their chapters ripped out.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Etc. That's cool for kids to get into Yale. The hard part is getting into Yale. Yeah.

[Eddie]

The grades. Gonna have the grades.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Lunchbox.

[Joel]

Yeah. Usa. Usa. Some billionaire named Ross Stevens is gonna hook up Olympic athletes here on out. Starting at next winter. Next month's Winter Olympics, every Olympic athlete from the USA, he's gonna give him $200,000, $100,000 in 20 years, like, as a. Hey, here you go. Set you up for life. And $100,000 in form of a guaranteed benefit life insurance policy for their families. He feels like.

[Bobby Bones]

So does he give him any money now or they have to wait 20.

[Joel]

Years they have to wait 20 years. But it's sort of like a stepping stone. Like, hey, these guys are achieving excellence and they are not rewarded enough. They don't make enough money off of this.

[Bobby Bones]

Why not give it to them now?

[Amy]

Is it in a thing that's earning and at certain point it hits a hundred thousand?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but if it's about. They don't have any money. Listen, I'm not pocket watching the guy. That's awesome.

[Amy]

And then if they die, their family's taken care of.

[Bobby Bones]

But I read the story. I read the story and I was like, huh, I wonder why he's not giving to him now. He's 100,000 later in 20 years.

[Amy]

I'm totally wrong on this, but I'm. Is it not a hundred thousand yet? Because he's putting it into a fund that in 20 years it'll be worth.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's like a thousand bucks.

[Eddie]

I don't know. But that's risky. That's not guaranteed.

[Bobby Bones]

That's never going to.

[Joel]

But if he's a billionaire, I kind of think he knows what he's doing. I just think it was a pretty cool thing. And he said it's Olympic athletes and Paralympic athletes, and no matter how good they do at the Olympics, they're getting the money.

[Amy]

Oh, so they don't even have to get gold.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but you have to make it.

[Joel]

You have to make it. He's saying these people are pursuing excellence and they should be rewarded.

[Eddie]

This is like the yell story. Still have to get accepted, guys.

[Joel]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah, I just wonder why he's not giving it to them now.

[Amy]

That's my best guess, but is that.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S not as much and he's just gonna let it build and you get it in 20 years.

[Amy]

Well, if he's. And with the not the case, then if he's investing it somewhere now at 100,000, then you should be getting more than that.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you research this a little more? Can I put you on this beat, Mike? Yeah.

[Eddie]

How can a Olympic participant make money like afterwards?

[Bobby Bones]

Brands, sponsorships.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, and now it's probably a little easier in that world because you are really good at something, even if it's niche. Niches pay well on social media. So if you're the best pickleball player is not a thing, but you're the best pickleball player, you get pickleball brands. So that's how you have to do it. Okay. And there are still games, like world championships, North American games for whatever the sport is. So you do stay Active at it, but that's what it is. Or teaching or opening up a gym and being like, I'm a sprinter. This is Eddie. Eddie's curling gym of sprinting. And then people come and work out under you.

[Eddie]

You have the metal hanging there.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be cool coaching.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you want to know exactly? I don't know.

[Amy]

We want to know why they don't just tell us.

[Joel]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Why wait 20 years?

[Bobby Bones]

And is that what's happening? So they don't get any money now? They have to wait 20 years? What if they die of hunger?

[Joel]

But they have the.

[Amy]

They have the insurance.

[Joel]

They have the insurance, but they don't. But they.

[Bobby Bones]

They just died.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's. That's worthless after you die.

[Joel]

No, it's not. It takes care of your family for you, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Money. You could add food.

[Eddie]

And you're the one that did all the work.

[Amy]

The billionaire's the recipient of everybody's interest.

[Eddie]

That's how he set it up.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll come back to you. But I think it's great because I saw the story, too. I was like, wow, that's really cool. But then my mind also goes into, what's he getting out of this?

[Joel]

What do you mean?

[Eddie]

Yeah. You didn't even say his name.

[Bobby Bones]

Because billionaires are always up to something. Billionaires are always up to something.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, they have to get rid of money.

[Eddie]

They don't have to get rid of it.

[Amy]

Yeah, they do.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you think this.

[Amy]

Wealthy people have to get. They've given away all the time for taxes. I mean, they're like, here's a gift. I mean, not to me, but other people. I know. Other people. I know.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll have our research team look this up.

[Eddie]

It's Mike.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie wants to put his Jeep's name on his Jeep.

[Amy]

Like a license plate?

[Eddie]

No, no, no. See, I drove by another Jeep yesterday, and it had, like. I forget what the name was, but it was like. Like Juliet's Joy, you know? And it's almost like a boat. You know how you buy a boat and you name the boat.

[Joel]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

The Jenny. You know, boats.

[Amy]

So what's.

[Bobby Bones]

Often have named.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Well, why are we not naming our cars?

[Amy]

Okay, some people do.

[Eddie]

So I'm thinking, like, I've called mine the Twister, the Red Twister forever. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I've never heard you call, ever. And I've ridden it a hundred times.

[Eddie]

It's been. I never. What am I gonna say?

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, hey, get in the Twister.

[Eddie]

Hop on the.

[Amy]

Especially if you pick Bobby up and it's like bad weather. That's what I'd roll up, be like, the red twisters here save you.

[Eddie]

And then somebody, like, saw my post or whatever of me, like, driving around, they're like, dude, your Jeep's like a bulldog. I'm like, ooh, the bulldog could be kind of cool.

[Joel]

Wait, wait, I thought it was changing your name.

[Bobby Bones]

It's an old Jeep. You can't give it a new name. Would you have a dog for 10 years and then go, you know what? I'm gonna change your name to Clyde.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but the Jeep doesn't know the difference. I'm just thinking, like, we named.

[Amy]

Where do you put it?

[Eddie]

On the side, like, right on the hood. You know on the side of the hood where it's like curves. Oh, that's where this guy had his name.

[Joel]

So basically you're saying you don't have a name. You want to come up with a name, and you want to put it on the side of your Jeep and you're.

[Bobby Bones]

You think that looks cool?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I just think, like, it'd be. I've never really seen it before. Until yesterday.

[Bobby Bones]

If you drove up and you had. You had a random name on the side of your Jeep, I think that'd be really goofy.

[Eddie]

Oh, goofy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No, let him do it.

[Eddie]

I thought you were gonna look goofy.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Ray.

[Amy]

No, I just want. If it makes him happy.

[Bobby Bones]

I was driving in today, and there's a big, like, I spot in the garage. Were you the one that put him on that? Yeah. So we had a busted pipe, and it was shooting out from the level two of the parking garage.

[Joel]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I mean, it's the pond there right now. And I hit up the non emergency number and told the people downstairs, and they're like, thank you. I mean, the whole building could have flooded. Do you guys see that ice spot, like, when you're coming around second floor?

[Eddie]

Yeah, we drove over it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. It's still kind of there because it's way cold. But Ray's the one that kept that thing from getting worse.

[Eddie]

Wow, Ray. Thank you, man.

[Bobby Bones]

And he didn't even call 911 because some people would have called 911. Well, and I never knew. Also with the non emergency number, whenever you hit the pipe piece, people, they'll put on your fire Alarm. So for 30 minutes straight, this is a fire alert. You set the fire alert off in the building? I didn't set it off, but there must be something, a switch that they flipped. So for 30 minutes, I had to listen to that, knowing that it wasn't an emergency, but they just kept going. Did people leave the building? No. Me and the news guy were like, well, I know what the issue was. Like, people that live here, it wasn't them. It was just us. It wasn't the residents.

[Eddie]

When you drove by, Ray, the water was coming out.

[Bobby Bones]

It was shooting from the far corner into where we turn in that corner on P2.

[Eddie]

Oh, I know exactly where it is. We drove over it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I'm like, that's a lot of ice. Where did that come from?

[Bobby Bones]

I saved people's lives.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Mike. Anything? Basically, he's just trying to keep them from going broke. It's like a retirement thing because most Olympians apparently go broke after because all the endorsements are gone. They're also younger, making bad financial decisions. So he wants to set him up in 20 years so they're a little bit more mature and they have that money to get by the rest of their life. So it's not about now, them not making any. Yeah, it's not like he's. It's not a stingy thing. He's not like, I'm not going to give you this money to 20 years. He's just trying to set them up because I think, like, 80% of Olympians go broke later in life. So that's what he's doing. Oh, you could probably take a loan out against it, though. Not to give them any bad information or be a bad. Yeah. Bad influence on them. If that is guaranteed, it's, like, in your name, and it, you know, matures, and you could take out a loan against it.

[Eddie]

Oh, is that. Would that be like a conservatorship?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

No conservatorship. If I had one on you, you really couldn't do anything unless I signed for it.

[Eddie]

But, like, it's my money, but I just can't touch it unless you sign for it.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you're the one that earned it, but you really can't use it.

[Joel]

Eddie might need that. Why don't you go into debt?

[Amy]

No, he got out of debt.

[Eddie]

That was old me debt forever.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's do voicemail number one. Seeing that several of you guys have fled to a hotel and. Or staying at home running off your gas fireplaces. You know what would have came in.

[Eddie]

Clutch around this time?

[Bobby Bones]

That condo above the studio that Lunch tried to pitch for y' all to get as, like, a party pad. I think Lunch and Eddie were in on that. All right, love you guys. Bye.

[Eddie]

Bye. In on it. We thought it was a good idea.

[Joel]

Heck, yeah. Hey, we come up with good ideas.

[Bobby Bones]

Have to put the money into it.

[Eddie]

Right. Which we weren't going to put any money into it.

[Bobby Bones]

There are a million great ideas to have. Just cool things. But you got to put the money into it. And nobody wanted to put money into it. I don't want to have a pad.

[Amy]

But also, I think we determined we couldn't rent it out, right, airbnb it. No, but I don't think you can in this building.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe you can. It doesn't matter. I'm still not buying.

[Amy]

I mean, if we can reconsider.

[Bobby Bones]

You do it. You know to do it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, come on, Amy, let's do it.

[Joel]

But also, hey, we need Bobby's financials.

[Bobby Bones]

Places are in places in this building. You're not going to get anything less than like half a million dollars.

[Joel]

That's why we need Bobby's financial.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we're going to need your backing.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not getting any back. It's. No. No backing. You're not doing anything.

[Eddie]

You'll get covered. What do you call it? You'll get. You'll get your money back and reimbursed.

[Bobby Bones]

But you guys aren't putting any money in to actually do anything.

[Eddie]

We do the operations.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no operation.

[Eddie]

Like, I'll clean it up.

[Amy]

Run the Airbnb.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'll clean it.

[Amy]

But there's also companies that can do that.

[Eddie]

Yes, we'll save on that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll go.

[Eddie]

Do I take the kids and everything? Kids will do it on the weekend. On Monday morning, we're cleaning up the apartment.

[Amy]

Dad, we have to go to school.

[Eddie]

Hey, we're running a business here, son.

[Bobby Bones]

When Eddie tried to get me to go to an auction and buy the house.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. Do I remember? It was like last week.

[Eddie]

We were so close to getting that house.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we weren't.

[Eddie]

We were because the guy kept calling me, saying, dude, nobody's buying this house.

[Amy]

Yeah, but why?

[Eddie]

It was in a flood zone.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's why.

[Joel]

That's why.

[Bobby Bones]

Did anybody ever buy it?

[Eddie]

Somebody finally bought it. They got it for dirt cheap.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know how much I think.

[Eddie]

They ended up getting for like 700, maybe a little under 700,000?

[Bobby Bones]

Is it big?

[Eddie]

Dude, it's. It's on a two acre lot. Like. Yeah, the house is good size on a 2 acre lot.

[Amy]

Can they just build it up on.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't think you were gonna. I think it's like a hundred thousand dollars.

[Eddie]

No, they could do stilts or whatever. But, dude, it's.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like can you imagine stilts? Yeah, In Tennessee. Not over water. You just drive by. It's a stilted house.

[Eddie]

No, you can cover the stilts.

[Amy]

Yeah. Make it like bricks or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I just think stilts like the ocean when they're up on full stilts.

[Joel]

Eight tall and odds. Eddie just threw that price out there and made it up. Has no idea.

[Eddie]

No, no, man. I was in on all phone calls.

[Bobby Bones]

You think it went for 700,000?

[Eddie]

Yeah, because I, I gave him a. Like, this is my max. And if, if you don't get an offer over that, like, let me know.

[Amy]

And the location was really good, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's perfect.

[Amy]

Because that's the perfect. Maybe another reason why it's so high is high.

[Eddie]

But no builder wanted because what they're doing there is taking down these old houses and they're building like two or three new ones on a big lot. And no builder wanted to touch it because it was on an extreme flood zone.

[Amy]

Extreme.

[Eddie]

But it's.

[Bobby Bones]

But the house, the flood zone gets worse every time he tells a story.

[Amy]

I think it's because it's on a little floody thing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's on an absolute flood zone of death.

[Eddie]

The map did say extreme flood zone, right?

[Amy]

It's like.

[Bobby Bones]

And so do not build here. Do you drive by it every day?

[Eddie]

Not every day, but I'd say like a couple times a week.

[Bobby Bones]

Has someone moved into it?

[Eddie]

No, not yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it a tear down and start over because. For that kind of money.

[Eddie]

No, because they redid it. It's a house from the 50s, but the previous owners, they put a lot of money into redoing it and they just. I guess they just. Their plans fell through. They're from California, they're not gonna move down here anymore, so they wanna get rid of it.

[Joel]

But.

[Eddie]

But my point is, is it's. It's from the 50s, right? And if it's in an extreme flood zone, like how many times has it been reconstructed? Cause like, it still looks like it's.

[Bobby Bones]

From the 50s and all it takes is one time. But if it's an extreme flood or alpha flood or whatever you called it, it should have been hit once or twice. There's been some big floods here.

[Eddie]

There has been some big floods.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it has been hit.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I mean, I think they, they reconstructed like they had to do a couple, like two, but I'd say two out of the, you know, since 1950. It's pretty good. Dude, we missed out on a big one there though, man. I'll keep looking.

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't unless you have a mouse in your pocket.

[Amy]

Okay, Eddie, I mean, maybe you should look into it. Oh, it's already sold. But you could just elevate.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you see it? You found it.

[Amy]

We'll use peers posts call.

[Joel]

Wait, did you look at the. You have the listing?

[Amy]

No, I'm researching how to build a house in an extreme flood zone and it gives you step by step.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but the realtor was like, oh yeah, dude, $40,000. You can lift that house up. Like, how am I gonna lift that house up for 40?

[Bobby Bones]

But can you insure it if you lift it up?

[Eddie]

I don't rob on it. You can insure it, but it was. That's obviously more than normal.

[Amy]

What if mind control is real?

[Joel]

If you could control the behavior of.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Amy]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Bobby Bones]

When you look at your car, you're gonna become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Amy]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleep?

[Eddie]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Amy]

Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[Eddie]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Amy]

Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, nlp, might actually work. This is wild. Listen to mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, give me voicemail, too. You guys give Lunchbox a hard time.

[Amy]

About being paranoid when he's driving. Just wait until you're driving your bride.

[Bobby Bones]

And your newborn baby home from the hospital. You're gonna want like, 20 around you. You're gonna want a buffer of no other cars anywhere around you. And it's gonna be like that for quite a while. Good luck. I wonder if people really do hear him talk and believe him. He. He wasn't nervous about driving. He got hit by a car. So now he's making up a story so he can get more insurance money. He's like, I can't look at the pavement because I get ptsd.

[Joel]

Don't say that word, man.

[Bobby Bones]

So do people really Believe him.

[Joel]

No, it is a real thing. When you get in traffic now that you're worried about someone hitting you like you're looking in your mirror.

[Bobby Bones]

You said you couldn't even look at the street because of ptsd.

[Joel]

I said, like, getting on the street and seeing a stoplight makes me nervous because I know when it turns red, I'm gonna have to come to a complete stop, and I have to hope the person behind me is going to come to a complete stop. So, yes, getting in traffic and cars all around you, it's nerve wracking. It's a stressful thing. Like, when you guys get in a serious accident, you let me know. It'll be hard to get back behind the wheel.

[Eddie]

And now the word pavement.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't say that. Just a word. It being said hurts. Oh. All right, next. One lunchbox is driving me crazy with his medical issues.

[Amy]

They told him he should get a colonoscopy, and they even, I think, scheduled him for one and he canceled it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a very logical next step. Go get the colonoscopy lunchbox. It's not too bad.

[Joel]

No, he said, literally, quote, the doctor said, oh, I don't think it's your colon, but let's do a colonoscopy on Monday for fun. Like, what?

[Amy]

That's not how he said it. There's no way.

[Bobby Bones]

He literally said he puts on a clown nose. Hey, here's what we're gonna do.

[Eddie]

He said for fun.

[Joel]

He literally said, it's not your colon, but we can do a colonoscopy on Monday.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, you just changed it. You just said, for fun. Well, and then why not?

[Joel]

But he did say why not.

[Amy]

He was saying, like, it couldn't hurt for you to do a colonoscopy, but he said it's.

[Joel]

That's not your problem.

[Bobby Bones]

For fun. Why not?

[Joel]

So why not do one? And it's like, I felt like I walked into a store and they were trying to upsell me, and so I didn't like the feel of that. I didn't like the feel of the upsell. When he says, it's not your colon, but come back Monday. We'll give you a colonoscopy. Like, whoa. If you don't think that's it, why are we rushing into a colonoscopy?

[Bobby Bones]

That seems we just don't believe anything you're saying about what he said because you even change your sayings while you're telling the story.

[Joel]

I've literally, I've told you guys that from the beginning. Sort of like the guy that said, hey, man, just YouTube some exercises. Or the doctor says, I don't know what it is, but we're here for you if you need us.

[Amy]

Did you reach out to the physical therapist I sent you?

[Joel]

Listen.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, here we go. He hit you with a Listen.

[Joel]

I don't know what I'm allowed to say, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they amputate your penis?

[Joel]

No.

[Amy]

What do you mean you don't know?

[Eddie]

Your penis.

[Bobby Bones]

He pulls his tape. He's like, I'm gonna show you. It's Ken. He's a Ken doll.

[Eddie]

It's just that he's got nothing.

[Amy]

Wait, wait. Why can't you. What? What do you mean you don't know?

[Joel]

Yes, I've reach to physical therapy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just a nub.

[Amy]

So what can't you say why?

[Eddie]

And why are you not allowed to say it?

[Joel]

I don't know. I didn't know if I was allowed to talk about that. But.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but based on who? Like, who. Who's not going to allow you to talk?

[Amy]

Yeah, insurance.

[Joel]

I don't know, man. I'm just saying. Yes, I reached out to physical therapy.

[Amy]

So you think it's insurance? Listen, did someone at the physical therapy place said, don't talk about this?

[Joel]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Then you're going to a bad place, man. They're like, I'm going to touch you here, but don't talk about it. That's a bad place.

[Joel]

No, no, they didn't. Yeah, I signed up for physical therapy.

[Amy]

What's happening?

[Eddie]

Was it Amy's place?

[Bobby Bones]

Shorts are.

[Joel]

No, I didn't get into Amy's place. They didn't have an appointment available.

[Amy]

Not my place. My friend just does this in Austin. She recommended someone in Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Oh, my God.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, last one. Right.

[Joel]

I just spent 14 hours snow plowing yesterday and I listened to you guys the whole time.

[Eddie]

I just want to say I love.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys and I really appreciate you.

[Joel]

Guys being who you are.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, man.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Amy]

Thanks for snow plowing.

[Bobby Bones]

Very nice. Thanks for thinking. Thanks for thanking us for being who we are.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I mean, we're just being us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

That's cool, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's get back over to some stories. A guy's got to eat nothing but chili from Wendy's for a month because he lost a golf bet. That's all he can eat for every meal.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

I got promised.

[Amy]

I mean, Wendy's chili's good.

[Eddie]

No, I know, but every day, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing but Wendy's chili for an entire month. If Scottie Scheffler won a golf tournament and he did. And so the guy's just eating chili every meal, but he is allowing himself to have cracker. No, he's no cracker. No crackers. No crackers.

[Joel]

So he's fasting.

[Eddie]

He's fasting in his own way. Yeah, he is. Hey, so he. So the bet was that Scottie Scheffler was not going to win, and he ended up winning. He came back, too, and won that tournament.

[Bobby Bones]

The first $1 million Super bowl bet has come in on Monday. The first seven figure wager on Super Bowl 60 was placed. The bet was for 1.1 million on the New England Patriots Moneyline. And if they win, the better will win 2.1 million. Current odds have the Seahawks as a 4.5-point favorite. And the super bowl is the biggest betting event of the year. Yahoo Sports.

[Amy]

So the super bowl is not this weekend, but next weekend.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. There's a week off.

[Eddie]

I feel like those big bets are all money laundering bets.

[Amy]

They're just washing money.

[Eddie]

I know, I know, but like, I. You see so many stories of people washing money like that and, like, doing a heavy favorite bet.

[Bobby Bones]

Right? Like, but that's not a favorite. They're an underdog.

[Eddie]

You're right. You're right. That'd be different.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if it were a heavy favorite, I could see that because you're almost guaranteed to win. And then you can, like, prove where you got the money from.

[Eddie]

You get the money back and it's clean. Yeah, the one that you bet and then you get a little bit of whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I didn't think about that. Not in that case. But yeah, I can see.

[Eddie]

I'll just watch, like, UFC fights and they'll be like, ooh, two million dollar bet just came in for this guy. Like, why? Like, who does that? And then you look at the heavy favor.

[Bobby Bones]

Ah, I've kind of laundered money before.

[Amy]

What do you mean?

[Eddie]

Hey, man, don't say that here.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, not in an illegal way, but, like, sometimes I hit these bonus bets on DraftKings, and it'll be like, you've got a bonus bet, 50 bucks. And I'm like, oh, I don't want to bet it. I just want the money. But you can't. It's a bonus bet. So then I'll bet it on a guaranteed favor, then it comes out as money.

[Eddie]

I've done that too.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I just take it and put it in my account. Yeah, it's clean. It's real money, though.

[Eddie]

And then you just Withdraw.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then you got a bunch of bonus bets to play with.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I got money. No, it's not bonus bets. I got money.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but see, but you do it too with the bonus bets, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I do it with the bonus bets and then make it into money and take the money out.

[Amy]

So then the bonus bets are gone.

[Eddie]

And that's clean money now.

[Bobby Bones]

That's clean. Yes. I'm kind of a Mozart. A bottle of Pappy Van Winkle breaks the single bottle auction record. A bottle from 1982 is sold at an auction. It sold one bottle for $162,000.

[Eddie]

That's the one I had at that party, bro.

[Bobby Bones]

Bible. I wonder if you drink that or if you just hold it as an investment or do you don't drink the whole thing. I wonder if you drink like a drink or I wonder if the bottle has to be sealed and if as soon as you take a drink out of it, does it lose value? What if somebody famous drinks out of it, does it gain value?

[Eddie]

I mean, remember you gave us a bottle of Dom. I still have that.

[Amy]

Like, they pour a drink out of it or they put their lips on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably put their lips on it and picture of it. Like, imagine if Pablo Picasso drank out of a famous whiskey bottle because he's was. He was alive in the last 75 years.

[Eddie]

Yeah. He's not as old as you think he is.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. So if like Picasso is drinking out of a bottle and you have that bottle and there's like one drink out of it, it's probably worth a lot more. I mean, he died 1973, so don't you think that would be like a case of like. Here's a picture. This is the Picasso drink.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Drank out of. And there's still wine in there or whiskey. I don't know. What last forever? Does wine last forever?

[Eddie]

There's. They're old wines, like, and they're more expensive the older they are.

[Bobby Bones]

42 people have died from the winter storm.

[Eddie]

You keep getting those alerts.

[Bobby Bones]

I keep getting the shelter. Yeah, the shelter. It's like three warm in shelters or three warm up shelters nearby. I didn't know this winter storm had a name. Did you guys.

[Eddie]

No, I saw it.

[Amy]

What is it?

[Eddie]

I read the name and I was like, oh, it's called that Fern. Fern.

[Amy]

Fern.

[Eddie]

Weird name.

[Amy]

I guess we were on an F. Don't they have to like go down the Alphabet?

[Bobby Bones]

Hurricanes. I know they do. I don't know about winter storms.

[Amy]

Oh, I just figured it's just they.

[Bobby Bones]

Could I don't know. There aren't enough winter storms for me to.

[Amy]

If that is the case, they're like, okay, f. What are we gonna do?

[Bobby Bones]

I know what I'd name this thing.

[Amy]

With an F. Turn.

[Bobby Bones]

Effort.

[Eddie]

Effing snowstorm. Effing cold.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's killed 42 people across the country. A lot of people stole that power. The storm dumped deep snow across more than 1300 miles from Arkansas to New England. Again, the snow. Seems like that would be a vacation. It's the dangerous ice. And again, I've had snowstorms with ice a lot, but nothing like this before. A half inch of ice to me, sounds like nothing. We talked about this, but it snapped massive trees everywhere. And I see people like, yep, that's how we do winter up here. I looked it up. It ain't. Ice storms this big are so rare. They happen, like, every 25, 30 years. Because the elements have to be exactly right. They assign names. The Weather Channel assigns names to prominent winter storms. They're not officially recognized. It doesn't say anything about. In order for winter storms. It says they're all from Greek and Roman mythology. Because it's usually the National Weather Service who names the hurricanes like that. The Weather Channel just gets to name storms. They just naming storms. Wow.

[Eddie]

And they just go. Everyone just goes with it, you know, I guess it's like an easier way to remember than, like, oh, remember that snowstorm in January, 2026? You just say, remember Fern?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. But I wouldn't known it was Fern until I read a story and I went, I've been through it.

[Eddie]

Did you guys see the icicles yesterday, like, just falling from signs? Like, I feel. I feel like that was even starting to get dangerous. Like, I see cars in front of me getting nailed by icicles falling from signs or street lights.

[Joel]

Well, the good news is it's supposed to maybe snow tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I don't mind the snow right now.

[Eddie]

It's like, let us snow snow all.

[Bobby Bones]

Day, because you can at least walk on snow.

[Eddie]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

I was just. Yeah, I think we're getting power back today. I'd bet money on it. I feel good about it, but it's been crazy. I had to dress the dogs up, like, to put them in their kennel.

[Eddie]

Oh, warm, Warm.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So put them in my clothes, like T shirts. And then I put them in the kennels. And then I line the kennels with towels, and they were like, what's going on? I'm in clothes. And they're towel and so just so they could, like, be somewhat warm.

[Eddie]

So Stanley's wearing a sleeveless T shirt.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a razorback sleeveless hoodie.

[Eddie]

Just like you.

[Bobby Bones]

People are hiring body doubles to take driving exams.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Cheating on driving tests has jumped 47% in the last year. This is from Car Scoops. As learners struggle and there are also long wait Times. Nearly 2,900 cheating attempts were recorded September 2025. The most common tricks include using Bluetooth earpieces to get answers during the written test and then look alikes to take the exams. Some impersonators earned up to 2,700 bucks per successful pass. One man was sentenced to eight months in prison after impersonating learners 12 times. Dang. He must look like the most generic human. He's just white guy with brown hair. I mean, that's crazy.

[Amy]

That's really bizarre to me.

[Bobby Bones]

If you can't.

[Amy]

Can't what? Pass the test. The test is not that hard.

[Eddie]

It's pretty easy, dude. I'm terrible at tests.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I would say if you can't, you don't need to be driving. But some people don't. They don't subscribe to that theory.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

They're just like, man, when the lights come on, I'm a game player. I can't do well at practice or test.

[Amy]

Like, not wanting to deal with the long line. But the test, it's pretty easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see if there's anything else. Anything from you. Oh, hey, what was the massage thing your person was saying? People purr when they get rubbed?

[Amy]

Yeah, because I was getting a massage and there was something, you know, my body was having a response to somewhere where she was pressing, and I was like, oh. And I felt weird for even doing that. I was like, I'm sorry, I didn't. She goes, oh, no, it's okay. I once had a client that purred like a cat.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

And I was like. Like, their body just naturally purred. And she said yes, like, like the whole time she would just be, like, so relaxed.

[Bobby Bones]

And like, if you're a massage therapist, I bet you have to not laugh when people fart, because I bet they just let it for. They don't even know sometimes.

[Eddie]

Well, it's probably annoying or.

[Amy]

Well, no, that I was purr. It wasn't. It was coming out of there. Like.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know. Different Mouth her out of their butt. I'm just saying that's weird. But also, you're rubbing. That's it. The whole time.

[Eddie]

That's so gross.

[Amy]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure it's not a push. I'm sure it's just like a really.

[Amy]

Well, I used to go to a yoga studio where they encouraged that. No, I mean, I of course didn't, but they're like, please don't hold it in. It's not good for you.

[Eddie]

Did it smell?

[Amy]

I don't know. No, but people would do it, especially during one particular pose. It was literally called the wind removing pose, where you hug both of your legs into your chest and you curl.

[Bobby Bones]

Into a ball, you squeeze and you squeeze cheese accidentally.

[Amy]

And they're like, yeah, if you get the urge, just please don't. Don't hold it in. And I'm like, yeah, right.

[Eddie]

Well, you know, when I gave Lunchbox the hug, like, I didn't mean to, but I was like.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you meant to.

[Joel]

No, you meant to.

[Eddie]

No, I really didn't.

[Amy]

You just are like.

[Eddie]

I guess everything Amy was describing, you know, like the senses or whatever, I.

[Amy]

Was just like, well, that was the release of the oxytocin.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I get that.

[Amy]

Right. And for people, I guess for some people, I don't think it's like that they wanted to purr. That's just their. How their body responds.

[Bobby Bones]

But we don't purr.

[Eddie]

Like, we don't go.

[Amy]

This person did. She was saying that every time. And it was a long standing client where they just got used to her.

[Eddie]

It's like this one mooed like a cow.

[Bobby Bones]

We got a goat in here. Room three.

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't know. Just thought, man, massage people. Probably to your point, Bobby. Have to hear and see a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that and hotel room cleaners.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. Nasty stuff.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. I just feel bad for them.

[Amy]

What, are people living like animals in there?

[Eddie]

Yeah, people.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. People are just gross. It's not their place and they're gross and they're like, on vacation. Just. My grandma and I used to clean these condos for people. They would stay like the weekend at a place called Cozy Acres Resort, and it's just gross. And then I think about Vegas and not even just gross, but like, leaving, like, drugs and like, probably prostitutes in bed when you go in and just like, people going hard.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Sometimes, like, I would buy like a six pack of beer or whatever and I would. I wouldn't drink all of them. I'd leave four there. Like, as I'm wondering, like, do they just take them home? Like, what do they wonder what they do with that?

[Amy]

I don't think they're.

[Eddie]

They should.

[Amy]

They're allowed.

[Eddie]

I feel like if it's left behind. Like they should, right?

[Joel]

They should.

[Amy]

They might.

[Eddie]

I don't know if they do. My mom, when I moved. When I moved out of the house, she said that she cleaned my room and there were, like, a bunch of dried boogers all over the walls.

[Amy]

Oh, wait, What?

[Eddie]

I guess I just.

[Amy]

That was your thing.

[Eddie]

I wasn't in the coral. Isn't that gross?

[Amy]

That's not where I thought you were going with that.

[Eddie]

What do you think?

[Amy]

I don't know. It wasn't dirty. I just never in a million years would have thought a wall of dried boogers.

[Eddie]

I mean, you're talking, like, a whole life of me just laying in my bed.

[Joel]

I thought it was gonna be, like, beer cans or beers, you know, like hidden somewhere. And you went, boogers on the wall.

[Eddie]

On the wall. Like, dried up and gross, man.

[Amy]

Does anybody else do that?

[Joel]

No.

[Amy]

And he's acting like, yeah, of course I lay down.

[Eddie]

You guys don't flick boogers.

[Bobby Bones]

Flick. Afraid to admit it.

[Eddie]

Now you get a booger and you.

[Amy]

Flick it onto the walls.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You guys don't.

[Joel]

No, I don't flick boogers on my wall.

[Eddie]

Oh, you just eat your toenails. Got it. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true.

[Eddie]

That's disgusting.

[Amy]

Dude.

[Joel]

What is grosser? Eating your toenails or putting your boogers on your walls as an adult? He puts boogers on his wall.

[Eddie]

I was a child.

[Joel]

You just said right now when my.

[Eddie]

Dude, you don't listen to me. When I moved out of my house.

[Joel]

Right? But right now, he just goes, you guys don't flick boogers.

[Amy]

Like, he just meant you didn't.

[Eddie]

Like, You've never done that.

[Joel]

I thought he was talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's a good place to stop this one.

[Joel]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

Sorry.

[Amy]

Are you over it? You're like children. Stop it.

[Eddie]

You don't flick boogers, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Flick. No, I'll pick my nose sometimes, but I, like, put them in a napkin or something.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's. Yeah, well, that's what you do now when you're an. But when you're a kid, you didn't go, like, get rid of that. Get that off my hand, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't feel like I was. I ever got the chance to be a kid. I grew up a hard knock life.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Mommy's like, never mind. I don't want to contribute to the joke.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Amy]

It's not funny.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, we're gonna go. Thank you all. We will see you tomorrow for sure. That's it. Check out Kenny Chesney on Netflix if you get a minute. That'd be awesome.

[Eddie]

Oh, I double thumbed it, dude, yesterday.

[Amy]

I gotta pull it up on my phone because now that.

[Eddie]

Dude, that teaser is so good.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Amy]

I keep seeing your billboard too.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Amy]

And I saw a billboard without the color blocking. So there's multiple billboards with multiple imaging.

[Eddie]

Non color.

[Amy]

Because there's a color blocked, one with the four colors, and then there's one with a solid color in the background.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice.

[Amy]

And I'm like, well, there's on a different billboard. Different. You know, what would we call that image?

[Bobby Bones]

An image. That's when you know we need to wrap up graphics. I've been there. Trust me, I've been there. Like, what do you call that stuff you drink? Water. Okay.

[Amy]

It's been a long.

[Eddie]

I hear you.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Eddie]

She still doesn't have power.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, I know. All right, thank you, guys. We will see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody.

[Amy]

This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
