[Mike]

Of Revisionist history about how 5G network.

[Caller/Guest]

Slicing strengthens trust and connections across worldwide industries.

[Mike]

Slicing can be used for so many different things.

[Bobby Bones]

We're here with our friends from CNN from Siemens Energy. The ways that it can be used.

[Mike]

Frankly, are limitless and are really, really built to think through.

[Bobby Bones]

How can T Mobile understand the pain points that our customers have, Smash those pain points and help you deliver very specific outcomes? Here's something I don't often say, but AI has gone, look at this. So I don't know this person. I assume they work for our company Taylor K A y Elliot from Rochester, Minnesota and it's an iHeart thing and it says iHeartalent delivers 360 influence and it's a picture of me and it says Broadcast Podcast social Live events, all this. The two pictures they use of me grab my phone. One of them. I don't have glasses on, so it's just an AI generated version in the small corner.

[Amy]

That is not you. I would know right away. That is not you.

[Mike]

Whoa. That is not you.

[Bobby Bones]

That's weird.

[Amy]

I mean, from far away.

[Bobby Bones]

All you have to do is get a picture of me from the Internet. You don't even have to.

[Amy]

AI, wait. What the. Wait, who? And the person at the bottom.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying.

[Amy]

The person at the bottom, it looks like Elon Musk. You do not want that, do you?

[Bobby Bones]

All you have to do is go and take one off Instagram. That's bizarre. I just saw it popped up. They tagged me. That's not even me. And that's fine to use me as an example inside the company for whatever you're using.

[Caller/Guest]

Cause that's what.

[Bobby Bones]

That's bizarre. Hey, AI's gone too far.

[Amy]

That is really weird because there's lots of photos of you everywhere. So. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go around the room, Amy.

[Amy]

So the glove had no evidence of anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the Nancy Guthrie glove.

[Amy]

The Nancy Guthrie glove, yeah. No DNA matches on the glove. Nothing. So does that mean no matches in their database? Because, like, is there DNA on it, or. That means there was just. No.

[Bobby Bones]

What I took from it was that there were no matches to anyone in the government database. I could be wrong, but you would think there'd be some kind of DNA on a glove if it's found somewhere, like, somewhere.

[Amy]

Unless they had a glove and then they put their hand in the glove.

[Mike]

I was thinking that it was DNA from anything they found inside the house. Got DNA from in the house, and then DNA on the glove did not match.

[Amy]

Oh, I have what they were looking for inside the glove. So, yeah, maybe there's not an either. Speaking of the glove, what I really wanted to talk about was the neighbor. Have y' all seen the neighbor on the news? He's bald, kind of has a little goatee situation. Okay, so he has a ring on his hand that's like a big. I don't even know what kind of ring, but just maybe it has some diamonds, but it's like a big, chunky type ring. And I came across these videos where people are like, if you look at the hand at the doorbell cam, it. It looks like there's a ring inside the glove. Like an outline that's happening. And now they're saying we need to be paying attention to the neighbor.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like people are Coming up with theories now because they got a little heat on a couple videos they made early, and now they know that people are gonna come to them for this. And so now they're just coming up with any theory they could possibly make that's gonna get views.

[Amy]

Okay, but I have a next thing about the neighbor. Apparently he was one out of the gate that wanted to be on camera and doing interviews. And that was said. I think we need to take a look at the brother, the. At the son in law.

[Mike]

Oh, the neighbor's the one that put him in that direction.

[Amy]

This is just what I saw. So I'm not trying to, like, I just am like, golly.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

To your point, Bobby, there are so many people like sleuths and they're making all kinds of videos and whatnot and putting together their own theories. And that's just one that I came across yesterday where I was like, interesting. And you know how sometimes when people commit a crime, they show up to the crime scene and they want to be a part of the news?

[Bobby Bones]

That's happened occasionally. I don't think most. But yes, it's a story when they do. But again, I think it's people who then they feel like they have to put something on social media.

[Amy]

I don't know. This guy had a cowboy hat on. He seemed pretty legit.

[Bobby Bones]

And because they have to and they may not have anything, they are making stuff up as possibilities so they can continue to get views.

[Amy]

Yeah, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's what's falling into our algorithm a bunch about this. But yeah, from what I took from it, there was no matching DNA that the government had that matched anybody in the system. The couple theories. I think that theory number one, is what I felt early on, and I think probably is, you know, the old Occam's Razor. Remember that?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is.

[Amy]

I'm thinking you said. Yeah, I do. I know Occam's Razor because we've talked about it on the show before. And even before we talked about it, I had just seen somebody post about it. Help me.

[Bobby Bones]

Whatever the simplest solution, it's probably that.

[Amy]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think it's probably somebody robbing the house. It's just a robbery.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Old lady lived there by herself. She saw them, took her, killed her.

[Amy]

That is just quite the ordeal.

[Mike]

Okay, but where is she?

[Bobby Bones]

But I think that's the.

[Amy]

But, like, why go. But if you're gonna go rob a house, you go from robbery to murder.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you get caught, probably. Yeah. No.

[Amy]

Tie her up.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That's worse.

[Amy]

Jamie, tell her.

[Bobby Bones]

You just. And then tell her. No, she's seen you torture her.

[Mike]

Like, what are you talking about?

[Amy]

No, tell her.

[Bobby Bones]

Male body to the fans Threatener.

[Amy]

Like, if you say anything, I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen. I don't know what someone would be thinking in that situation because I'm not in this situation, but I would think if you're. That's how a lot of those murders happen during burglaries is they get discovered while burglarizing now that they're going and thinking they're going to kill. But if someone comes and threatens the burglar, the burglar then feels like their life's in danger, so they kill back.

[Mike]

So then. And then what? Take the body somewhere and.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's just like they're. Then they're probably all looking at each other or if it's one guy. You think it's one guy?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably if it was a burglary. Yeah. One or two. Most. If it was a. Again, I don't know anything. But I'm saying if we're occam's razoring it, that's what it is. Secondly, I never even thought about it being close enough to Mexico to go down to Mexico and then hold a hostage there because we're not going to be able to go into buildings there.

[Mike]

Is it right there? Tucson?

[Bobby Bones]

Well. Well, it's close enough.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Mike]

I didn't even think about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see.

[Mike]

So are you guys taking out the chance of kidnappers for a ransom idea?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know anything, so I'm not taking out anything. But. But like it's six. Tucson is 64 miles north of the US Mexico border.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

That's looking at an hour.

[Mike]

That's close. Didn't realize.

[Amy]

But how'd they get across?

[Mike]

Well, that's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's probably easier to go into Mexico than it is to come back.

[Mike]

100%.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go to our Mexican friends here, Mike and Eddie. Yeah, they don't really check you going in. It's just coming back.

[Mike]

They don't ask any questions.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't even say, do you have a old lady?

[Amy]

I thought now you had to show your passport. Anyone, I mean, back in the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you may have to show your.

[Mike]

Passport, but that's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

They're not going to check your car.

[Amy]

Right before you take her away, you're like, hey, we need to get. Where's your passport?

[Bobby Bones]

No, she'll be in the trunk.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Going in. They don't search you coming Back. They search you.

[Amy]

Yeah, I thought that they sit up straight, behave, here's your passport, act like nothing ever happened.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I would think that if they were doing that, she's probably incapacitated, which is even tied up. And again, I'm not even trying to be dark.

[Amy]

That does not seem like the simplest.

[Mike]

Occam's a razor.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's only. I think it's second, though.

[Amy]

Are there cameras at the entry points to each in and out of the country?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but if you don't see an old lady sitting in a passenger seat, which you wouldn't, she would probably be in a trunk.

[Mike]

And I'm sure you would go through every single one in that timeline, like, all right, let's see who crossed the border at this time.

[Amy]

Also, that's probably why they were, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Creating content right now on things that possibly happen. That's super tragic. But this has been in the news so much, you're going, how have they not found the person? If it is what we thought it was a simple abduction based on how much money that the person's family member had, which is kind of what we were led to believe, because old people don't get kidnapped. They just don't. Like, very rarely do old people get kidnapped, and if they do, it's usually because they want a ransom or there's some other motive behind it. So I have no knowledge of this other than what I'm seeing. But if you were like, bet money on it, I would bet it's probably a burglary.

[Mike]

Did you see Savannah's husband show up?

[Amy]

Where'd he show up to?

[Mike]

He hadn't been to Tucson. I guess he was staying back home with his family, with his kids. And so they got him at the airport landing in Tucson. And, like, people are now are just like, he's barely getting there.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, no, you never know the dynamic.

[Mike]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

And also, the Internet sucks.

[Mike]

Everyone has a comment.

[Bobby Bones]

But even if 1% of people felt that way, it's going to feel like a ton, because as many people are watching this 1% feels like everybody. So 99% of people could be like, of course he's with his family. And they're making internal decisions based on their family dynamic and what's healthiest for them. But if it's 1%, it's still going to feel like a ton of. Because as something grows larger, that 1% seems bigger. Most people aren't even commenting on stuff. They're just watching. But, yeah, that's still nothing. I did see where the share maybe Yesterday, day before. I don't know. It's like this could be years. So that would mean possibly in their mind that it's not an abduction for ransom.

[Mike]

So it's just find her. And it could take years to find her.

[Amy]

Like her or her body.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if it's years, it's gonna be her body. They're not gonna keep her alive because again, her medication, she's also 84 or something. So there's that.

[Mike]

It's just. Are you guys waking up every day and just being like, alright, is there an update today?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think, I don't think about it. I don't think about it.

[Amy]

I wake up and I'm like, how is she still missing.

[Bobby Bones]

I do think that once it pops back into my feed. Yeah, I wonder what's mostly in your feeds now. Mine. It's crazy Jeffrey Epstein stuff because I can't believe they just said we're not releasing the rest of the files. It's that it's a ton of Razorback basketball right now. So, like tonight we play Alabama and that's a big. It's a big game for us. We're on the road, three and a half point underdogs, so we're not expected to win. So I get all the information about that. I follow Jake's takes. He's my new favorite influencer.

[Mike]

Who's Jake? Just do.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, what a dude from Arkansas. Do you ever see Jake's takes? Oh, I think I'm thinking of a different Jake's takes. No, Jake just gets on and says crap about Arkansas. It's funny. And every once in a while he branches out into other parts of sports. Yeah, I do a lot of Jake's takes in my feed.

[Mike]

You know what I get a lot of? I get a lot of and I've gotten it for weeks now. Is Bad Bunny people like Puerto Ricans or like, you know, people from Brazil watching the super bowl and them just reacting to Bad Bunny with the camera on them. I get so many videos of those and every time I get goosebumps when he announces their country, they're just like, yeah, he said our country or the.

[Amy]

Family that's related to the taco truck that was in the Super Bowl. Like that. Okay. So in, as part of his setup, you know, there was like the trees and then he had different, like the people getting married and then the little boy at the tv. So there was a. Like a food truck.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Amy]

And that's an actual food truck vendor.

[Mike]

That's cool.

[Amy]

And that's blown up and is really popular. And the. I saw a video of their family, like, watching, and they, like, were freaking out. It was really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox, what is your story?

[Eddie]

Yeah, sorry, I'm out of Cardi B news. Nothing going on there. So we'll go to another celebrity. Shia LaBeouf.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw Cardi B news.

[Mike]

Oh, you did?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Did you miss on that lunchbox?

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Google Cardi B because there's news about her that just came out.

[Eddie]

Oh, boy. Let me see Cardi B.

[Mike]

Call your. Call your contacts.

[Bobby Bones]

No, yeah, Wait, hold on. Go ahead.

[Eddie]

Guys. We are back on Cardi B news. There is breaking news out of the Cardi B camp. Ray, hit the breaking news clip. Cardi B plans to remove some of her butt implants after tour. Whoa.

[Mike]

Lunchbox. How did you miss this?

[Eddie]

It just came out two hours ago. Dude, I missed it. I looked last night for Cardi B and I didn't see anything. And wow. Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Oddly, I got that in my feed, I think because he covers it so much.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You gonna be okay?

[Eddie]

That's crazy. Why would she take it out?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably health concerns. I don't know. I mean, why would someone remove.

[Amy]

I mean, probably just a decision she made where she doesn't, like, anymore. It could be she's a doctor's advising her to. Or maybe just her own choice.

[Mike]

Could it be annoying, like, to have big butt?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. She got him when she was younger. She paid 18, 800 in a basement. Okay, well, that's why it doesn't feel safe.

[Amy]

I think that just.

[Mike]

I see the doctors not liking that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you can do Shia LaBeouf story, too. Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So then he. I mean, we got a clip too.

[Bobby Bones]

So you can throw to it.

[Eddie]

So this guy, he was down in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, and he got in a fight and got arrested for assaulting two people.

[Caller/Guest]

They charge us crazy on that, bro.

[Eddie]

Happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Shia LaBeouf getting into a fight. To me is. Water is wet.

[Mike]

Like, it just. Yeah, it happens.

[Eddie]

But it was weird because he got arrested. He went in front of a judge and everything. And then he gets out of jail and he runs two miles back to the like. Like, the next day to wherever the parades are happening. And he goes into a store and buys new clothes and starts partying again.

[Bobby Bones]

Mardi Gras also. Water's wet, you know?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. But I feel like. I feel like he's a sad individual. I feel like he has some problems.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's definitely felt that for a long time. Yeah, I mean, he was sober for a few years. That's why it was surprising to me. Is he. And he's not. Not anymore, man.

[Mike]

And the whole idea of, like, him getting in trouble for battery is weird to me because the videos I see, he's getting like. He's getting his butt kicked.

[Eddie]

Right, Right. That's what's really weird. It's like he's getting beat up, but he's charged with battery. I don't know how that works.

[Amy]

Well, do we know if the other people were charged too?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if you start it, though, he headbutted a guy. Yeah. If you start it, then you get beat up, you still get the charge, so.

[Mike]

So he must have gotten a headbutt in, but, man, he was getting beat.

[Bobby Bones]

Up when I saw him. If you're drunk and you're tweeted, what?

[Amy]

Free me. He tweeted, free me.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? Then I say, free him from jail. Justice for Shia.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was like six hours ago. He tweeted.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're drunk and you get beat up, does it hurt less?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. But then probably the next day, it probably hurts real bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

You don't feel anything.

[Bobby Bones]

So you go longer and harder if you're drunk, if you're getting beat up, because it doesn't really feel like what a normal beat up would be.

[Mike]

I've never gotten beaten up, but I will say one. A long time ago, I fell and they had pictures of me and I had, like, blood on my face. And the next morning I'm like, I don't know what that is. Like, I don't remember any of that happening.

[Eddie]

It is true, though. You watch a fight, like, if you go to a bar and it's like drunk people, they just keep going. Even though they're getting their butt kicked. They geek up and they keep going back at the person. It's like, do you not realize how bad you're getting beat up? But I guess they don't.

[Amy]

Probably not. There's a lot you don't realize when you're drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

Adrenaline and drunk.

[Mike]

You don't know what's going on.

[Caller/Guest]

Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So I told you guys I did a Waymo in San Francisco and my whole adventure of it, which is it's a driverless taxi. Driverless Uber or whatever they call it. A robo taxi. Guys, they're close. They're so close to. I saw in the news, like, maybe a couple weeks away from again in.

[Bobby Bones]

Nashville, in certain parts of Nashville.

[Mike]

And I think you guys are going to love it.

[Bobby Bones]

I have no problem with it. I think it's safer than human driving.

[Mike]

No, I know. And even when I was in it, it's not the car, it's not the robo car, it's everyone around it. Like it doesn't see someone telling it like, go ahead, you go. Or like stop because something's there.

[Bobby Bones]

Can. I hate to stop you, but the bad accident that you were in when you were working news.

[Mike]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How did that happen?

[Mike]

Do you still remember that?

[Bobby Bones]

How did that happen?

[Mike]

Yeah. This guy was.

[Bobby Bones]

You were in a news van and.

[Mike]

I was in the middle lane trying to turn left. Right. So I was waiting for the traffic to go and then there was like two lanes. Right. And the guy in the lane closest to me stopped and said, hey, go ahead, man, you're good.

[Bobby Bones]

What happened?

[Mike]

And so I was like, thank you. And I went. Didn't see a big 18 wheeler. Boom. He popped me in the other lane. T boned.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's better if we don't watch for people going, hey, you go ahead and go. Cause stuff that, that happens too.

[Mike]

But I'm telling you, like when, when they were trying to direct traffic, it was not going well. Like the Uber's. Like, do I.

[Amy]

But how often is there traffic being directed? Like that's school zones.

[Mike]

School zones.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that'll probably improve. But again. And there are instances where a Waymo hits a car or a person or a Tesla driver hits a car or. But there are 10 million instances a day where drivers are hitting people because drivers are texting drivers distracted completely. Yeah. I think if every car were driverless, there'd be no accidents.

[Mike]

Boom. I'm for that.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can't be for that.

[Mike]

I don't like this transition phase unless you have to.

[Bobby Bones]

You're for the transition because it's going to be a transition as well. It'll never be fully either. But if you're for it, then you have to be for this odd transition part because it's never going to go 0 to 100%.

[Mike]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna go. It's like electric cars. You know, there's a couple on the road, there's 3% on the road, 7% on the road.

[Mike]

Can we do like bike lanes like the Waymo lane got you pay more.

[Bobby Bones]

Money in taxes to build away lanes. Yeah.

[Mike]

Just feels like we do have that.

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of though on highways, which is the, the carpool HOV some places. Yeah.

[Amy]

Or there's going to be the underground thing with Teslas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. In Vegas they Have that the only Tesla Tesla's can do. Now what is this.

[Mike]

Underground?

[Bobby Bones]

Elon Musk and his. His. I think it's bore his boring. Like it's coming on boring. Mike. If you look it up. The boring company. Yeah. They have underground that only Teslas can go into.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, you need a lot of money and a lot of yeses from a lot of cities to make that happen.

[Amy]

Which Tesla's like going, I don't know, like up and down. Like you don't drive your own Tesla down there.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Amy]

There's Tesla's down there. So you go down, you get in and you're gonna get from point A to point B way faster because you're not gonna be in any traffic.

[Bobby Bones]

They're supposed to be building one here to the airport. They've been trying for a while. I've been watching them have the meetings or see the news stories about it. I'm very much for every car being driverless because if every car is driverless.

[Mike]

You'Re gonna have far less accidents saying.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if most cars, I think if mid cars, I think you can have far less accidents in general with driverless because I think drivers are often distracted. You guys know how I feel about just two yellow lines keeping us off, killing each other. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen.

[Mike]

I'm starting to think of that now when I'm on the road. Like, this is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I think about that all the time. It freaks me out. I'm like, man, he's so right about this. There's two yellow lines and that's the only thing keeping us alive. That people have agreed that we're not going to cross those yellow lines.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all. It's just an agreement. It's a social contract with people you don't even know that they're going to stay on their side of the yellow lines. There's not even a barrier there. There's just paint on the ground.

[Mike]

No, it's trust and days when you know somebody may not want to do that.

[Caller/Guest]

You don't even know them.

[Bobby Bones]

You're trusting people through a social contract you don't even know.

[Mike]

Social contract.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, it's crazy.

[Mike]

But it's. You know what's crazy about these wh too though? Like we're. Nashville is one of five cities that'll have it. Like that's pretty cool that we're one of five.

[Bobby Bones]

We're growing very fast. I assume Austin's one of them.

[Mike]

Austin's one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Mike]

It is San Francisco. Phoenix.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Phoenix. Yeah. I think Phoenix has them now. Like, it has had them for a while. All right, good story. Let's go to Morgan.

[Amy]

All right, so there's a video, ring.

[Bobby Bones]

Camera footage from Oregon where there's this.

[Amy]

Truck that went flying 100ft through the air, straight into a house, completely knocking.

[Bobby Bones]

Out, like, their bathroom, their living room area. And the ring footage looks like it.

[Amy]

Came from the sky.

[Bobby Bones]

Why was it like, what was the ramp?

[Amy]

They say that the guy that was driving struck a dirt mound and he was speeding and distracted.

[Bobby Bones]

Speaking of distracted driving, like, hit it and it caused him to just, you.

[Amy]

See in the ring camera footage, basically.

[Bobby Bones]

Just shoot in the air and fly.

[Amy]

Straight into this house.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, that the trajectory of that dirt mound had to be that so specific to work out that way, because most dirt mounds, they're going to be a little taller, and you're going to crash into it. It's going to slow you down. But for the ramp and I haven't seen the video.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he die?

[Amy]

Well, what's crazy is so both passengers.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a guy and somebody in the passenger seat. They both escaped with only minor injuries.

[Caller/Guest]

And then everybody in the house.

[Amy]

There was four people in the house.

[Bobby Bones]

Sleep, sleeping.

[Amy]

And they're all also okay, surprisingly. But the video of this, like, from the nether porch truly looks like it was such a freak accident. Like, somebody threw the truck into the house. It was in Oregon.

[Bobby Bones]

Wouldn't happen with a waymo.

[Mike]

That ain't guarantee you no.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's a video. Let's see. We're looking at the ring cam. There's a house across the street. Oh, my gosh. It looks like Dukes of Hazzard into that house.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, straight up. Doesn't even look real.

[Bobby Bones]

Moment flying car.

[Mike]

Oh, my goodness. Dude, how fast is that car going? It was hauling.

[Bobby Bones]

But, guys, that's.

[Caller/Guest]

That looks like AI neighborhood.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude.

[Mike]

How amazing. Nobody got hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

No. What's up with that dirt mount being right there by a road, though? The placement of the dirt mount, I think needs to be evaluated.

[Amy]

Speed limit where this is like Max 30.

[Mike]

Yeah. He's flying.

[Amy]

Yeah, I hear.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you.

[Mike]

They would get stuck in the mountain.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't control what other people do. I can't control where I put a dirt mound. Like, I can't control for the people are gonna do Sadie in a residential neighborhood.

[Mike]

I bet they thought it was in a safe place. He's probably not on the road. I mean, the mountain of the road.

[Bobby Bones]

If they're watching on YouTube, can they see that, Mike?

[Mike]

Yeah, they can see it. Well, kind of, sort of.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. Yeah. Okay. I glad everybody lived. And that's a nice house it crashed into.

[Mike]

That is nice. It looks like they're awake upstairs, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Nicole Kidman may have a new love interest already. Nicole Kid. It's been a while.

[Amy]

I feel like even by the time that they made the announcement, you're already.

[Mike]

Oh, right.

[Amy]

Well into your.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang it. Hater.

[Mike]

Nah, I just.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, that's kind of. It's kind of male hater.

[Mike]

No, listen, if you would have said.

[Amy]

Something about Keith so fast all the time.

[Mike]

If you would have said something about Keith, I would have, but there have.

[Bobby Bones]

Been stories about Keith having a girlfriend already.

[Mike]

I haven't heard those. Yeah, sure.

[Bobby Bones]

It's all the artists they say he's been linked with. That's not been right. We've talked about him many times.

[Mike]

I just don't. Still don't want this to be true.

[Bobby Bones]

You're a hater. Nicole Kidman is being pursued by multimillionaire businessman Paul Salem, chairman of the board for MGM Resorts International. Insider spilled to TMZ that Salem expressed interest in the actress, but emphasized they aren't. Oh, this is just some dude shooting a shot with press.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, so it's not a real thing.

[Amy]

So he's.

[Bobby Bones]

Then why would they print the story? Unless he paid him to print this story. It says insiders spilled a TMZ that Salem expressed interest in the actress, but emphasized they aren't dating and they have not spent time alone together.

[Mike]

Okay, dude, so nothing's got a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Of money and got TMZ to print a story for you. Yeah. That's funny. We can do some voicemails. Give me voicemail number one, Ray.

[Caller/Guest]

Morning, studio. Listening back to Monday's Part two, and.

[Amy]

I'm honestly super shocked that Amy gets.

[Caller/Guest]

Preferential treatment when it comes to the rooms on the cruises.

[Bobby Bones]

Why is everybody not the same? Everybody works just as hard.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't get it.

[Amy]

Love to hear your thoughts.

[Eddie]

Great question.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't get it.

[Eddie]

It's an absolute great question.

[Amy]

I don't. I don't. I do not know.

[Eddie]

Unbelievable disrespect. Absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's ask Scuba Steve. Hey, Scuba Steve, why do you think Amy gets preferential treatment? Honest answer, please.

[Mike]

In life or with the show?

[Bobby Bones]

In this situation with the show and.

[Caller/Guest]

The cruise, I think you just kind of look at, like, the.

[Mike]

The hierarchy and the order of importance. Bobby being the host of the show. It is the Bobby Bones Show. And then I think the next person in line would be Amy as, like.

[Caller/Guest]

Your official co host and counterpart.

[Mike]

And then it trickles on down. Go ahead, keep going.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, you guys have the same. You and Lunchbox have the same room.

[Mike]

Yeah. So, I mean, that's.

[Caller/Guest]

That's the answer right there.

[Mike]

I don't like the word importance. Like, that's not a good word.

[Amy]

Everybody's important, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, everyone's important.

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Caller/Guest]

If you want to. If you want to wear kid gloves.

[Mike]

And be honest about it.

[Caller/Guest]

But if we're just getting out of.

[Mike]

The nitty gritty and just thinking about it, that's. There's a one, there's a two, and then the rest. This is the problem with the world right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, but let's say you're the Lakers.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

And does LeBron get more benefits than. I bet Austin Reeves. Okay. No, Bob.

[Amy]

Bobby is.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll be LeBron. Amy could be Luka.

[Eddie]

Amy's not Luca. Let's relax. Stop.

[Mike]

Bad example, man.

[Bobby Bones]

No, and you. And you know, Lunchbox is Hachimura.

[Eddie]

Amy is a role player, just like we are.

[Bobby Bones]

The data says otherwise. The data in, like, how big her podcast is, the revenue she brings in with sponsors. The data would argue now, as humans. Yes, we're all even.

[Mike]

I like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But she does have the advantage of revenue because she's the female. She's one female. There's a lot of males. They.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a male, but that's what I'm saying.

[Eddie]

There's more.

[Bobby Bones]

I got nipples. Can you milk me, Greg? So, yeah, that's not true. Morgan's on the show.

[Eddie]

She's in the room, but she's not the same.

[Bobby Bones]

She's not what?

[Eddie]

She's not the same level as Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you just said we shouldn't have hierarchy.

[Mike]

Yeah, why is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, why is it.

[Eddie]

I'm not saying we shouldn't. I'm saying that Amy is the same as me and Eddie is below us.

[Mike]

Me. What did I do?

[Eddie]

Nothing.

[Mike]

Like, why am I below you guys?

[Eddie]

Just the facts.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's what we could say about Amy. Like, it's just the facts.

[Eddie]

I just don't agree with that, though. But.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's okay. You don't have to agree.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, who made the decision on the rooms?

[Mike]

Did you have influence on this?

[Bobby Bones]

None. I didn't even know.

[Amy]

No, he was shocked when we started saying our rooms.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, he was genuinely shocked. I was loud when Amy, before we went on the air, was like. Because she was just joking. Because you get Scuba. Steve was complaining about his room? Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Cuz someone jacked my room and took.

[Mike]

Mine and gave me their crappy room.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, is that what happened?

[Caller/Guest]

That's what I found out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I found out that two people that should be on that particular area, one.

[Caller/Guest]

Of them allegedly slid himself up and.

[Mike]

Then slid me down. Who?

[Amy]

Who?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, why do you do err. Noise?

[Eddie]

Oh, we don't.

[Mike]

It's code.

[Eddie]

It's code.

[Mike]

It's code for people.

[Amy]

That's code.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know what the code is? Oh, yeah, we technically.

[Mike]

Mike knows the code.

[Bobby Bones]

It's code. There's a Scuba got. Okay, so Scuba gets changed.

[Amy]

Okay, so then.

[Mike]

And then I fought for WI fi and I found out we may not have upgraded WI fi like I asked for. I found out we have WI fi. No, Eddie, you have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

So Scuba got replaced by the sale. The head of sales, which is ridiculous.

[Mike]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know codes. I don't know why we can't say. I don't know what. I don't know what the deal is. What's up with the WI fi?

[Mike]

I. I heard that we were getting WI fi.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think what? There's easily WI fi.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no, there's not. There's not.

[Mike]

What do you know, lunchbox?

[Eddie]

I talked to Scuba this morning and he said. They just said that to be nice to you yesterday. They're still trying to get us WI fi.

[Mike]

And there were supposed to be different levels of WI fi because I asked for you, Eddie, as a video editor to have a more powered WI fi because you're transferring large files.

[Caller/Guest]

And they go, oh, I don't know about that.

[Mike]

And so. And so I was like, when we do this from the ground floor, we should have some basic necessities laid out. These are the things that we need.

[Caller/Guest]

And then we can go from there.

[Mike]

But kind of bent over backwards and just said, whatever, sure, that's fine.

[Eddie]

We won't.

[Mike]

We don't need it.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the top of the tower where Amy and I are? Will we have access to good wifi?

[Caller/Guest]

You have regular WI fi, but you have WI fi?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Mike]

The top.

[Bobby Bones]

Lebron and Luca need our WI fi. I didn't know anything about it.

[Amy]

I didn't either. And I don't know who makes that decision. Maybe Scuba knows. I know it wasn't Scuba. So it's nobody on the show that was making that decision.

[Eddie]

And so it's people that think they know.

[Mike]

You know what I don't like though? Stuff like they told us yesterday. They told us yesterday. Just to be nice. Why are you trying to be nice? Just tell us. Do we have WI fi? No WI fi.

[Amy]

Wait. Be nice to who? Wait, what they're telling y'?

[Bobby Bones]

All?

[Mike]

That's what they said. Oh, they told you you have WI fi? Just to be nice.

[Eddie]

And then later, they told Scuba. The truth about WI fi is still a touchy subject.

[Mike]

Like, why can't they just be real with it?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, now it's sure it's gonna be fine.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Now it's like, we're really not important. They're lying to us to our face.

[Caller/Guest]

But it's the first time we're doing.

[Mike]

It, so I think there's a lot.

[Caller/Guest]

Of growing pains and figuring things out.

[Bobby Bones]

And there's a lot of lack of communication.

[Caller/Guest]

Y.

[Bobby Bones]

Us and them, and they're saying things. Guys, I'm telling you, I've just. I've ridden this horse before. It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be great.

[Mike]

So we're gonna be.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the whole thing is gonna be great, but I'm talking about what you guys are worried about. It's gonna be great. You're gonna get WI fi?

[Amy]

Yeah. It'll be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

We have to do the show for it.

[Mike]

Stupid question, though. How do we get WI fi on the boat?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I have no idea, dude. That's like being on an airplane getting WI fi. I don't know how this happens.

[Caller/Guest]

It's Elon Musk. Satellite. The Starlink.

[Mike]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Give me number five, please. I have two questions for Eddie.

[Caller/Guest]

One, did you pay for dinner last week with your wife, Bobby, and Caitlin?

[Bobby Bones]

And two, have you seen any of.

[Caller/Guest]

The new what burger items that you taste tested? I saw a billboard the other day, and it looked like something new, and I wondered, did Eddie try that?

[Mike]

Let me know. You want to answer the first one?

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie tried to pay.

[Amy]

Yeah, we talked about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. She may have missed it, though. I don't think everybody hears everything. Dang, Hayden.

[Amy]

I didn't mean that way, but I'm like, yeah, I was making sure. Like, we did talk about it. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

We did.

[Amy]

Because, like, I forget. And I'm like, we talked about that.

[Bobby Bones]

We did. Eddie tried, but he was trying to be sneaky, and he was challenging me to a sneakoff.

[Mike]

I wasn't challenging.

[Bobby Bones]

You were. And so I won the sneakoff. But he tried to pay. I did pay, but he tried to pay. So he gets full credit. And then I don't know about the Whataburger stuff.

[Mike]

The Whataburger stuff. I've Been looking at the new items. Those are not scuba. And you can help me with this because you did you taste tested too? I haven't seen anything that we've done. Right.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's on the billboard.

[Mike]

And all that, but.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, but they came out some new chicken stuff. I'm just not sure if it's the ones we tried or not.

[Bobby Bones]

And you guys signed an NDA, right? You can't say what you had.

[Mike]

I think we can talk about what kind of food it is. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

It's not that interesting, but anyway. But you did sign an NDA.

[Mike]

About that.

[Amy]

It seems like if you signed an NDA you wouldn't be able to talk about the type. Oh, I guess maybe like.

[Mike]

Like I can tell you if it's a burger or a chicken, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, but we don't care.

[Mike]

Not at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Not even just a little bit?

[Bobby Bones]

Not really. Okay. Number six. Ray. So I have a conspiracy theory for lunchbox's illnesses. Years ago, when the tree fell through his house and he was determined not to fix it so he could get on tv. What are the odds that the patchwork he had was ill prepared and water got all inside of his house and.

[Mike]

His attic and his insulation and his.

[Bobby Bones]

Home has slowly molded over the years creating the sicknesses that everybody could be getting. Just a thought, Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Oh, no, no, it wasn't patchwork, man. It's good. It's like a real roof. Like they put real shingles, they put real wood. They did all real work when they fixed it so there is no patchwork. Like it's a real.

[Mike]

You're not understanding.

[Amy]

Maybe we should have your house checked for mold though.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Explain to him what he means, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Mold is not strep throat.

[Mike]

Well, yeah, he's just saying that like you left it open so you can get insurance or I don't know, maybe on the. On TV or whatever. And that causes water, causes mold. So all that time that you didn't get it fixed could cause mold and.

[Bobby Bones]

That could get you.

[Eddie]

Oh, but they would have seen the mold when they were fixing it.

[Amy]

Not necessarily.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, not all mold is able to be detected with the eye.

[Amy]

And also if that's not their job to look for it, they're there to patch the hole. They're not there to check for the mold. I went through that issue myself. Ended up having to cut a hole back in.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know anything about mold and strep throat, but I I don't think there's mold in my house. I haven't seen any.

[Bobby Bones]

It could be not just strep throat. With everything you've had going on.

[Amy]

Yeah. Maybe we should just test your body for mold. Like, you could. Some people have mold sensitivity. Like, somebody could live in a house that has mold, and it could be months before anything shows up. Somebody that has. Is hypersensitive to it. It could take an hour, and they start to have different ailments.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're very hypersensitive to everything.

[Mike]

Everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Everything.

[Mike]

Why do you always go to, like, no first? Like, you're the doctor. Every time somebody's like, hey, it could be this. You're always like, no lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

They're, hey, remember Dunning Krueger?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, the law firm.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not the law firm. No, the person who's always right is dumb. You can never teach them that they're not right.

[Eddie]

No, I never said I couldn't be taught. I've learned things in my life, but.

[Amy]

But do you know a lot about everything?

[Eddie]

I know some about a lot.

[Mike]

There he is.

[Bobby Bones]

There he is. So you may have seen the story about all the condoms in the Olympic Village.

[Mike]

Is that real?

[Amy]

Yeah, that's always been real.

[Bobby Bones]

So. But it's not that they're so 10,000 condoms. They were out of condoms after three days. But it's not because they're all having sex. It's because everybody keeps them as souvenirs.

[Mike]

Oh, okay. Well, they don't say that in the story.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course they don't. Because that's not fun. It's. Wow, look at all these young athletes having sex with each other all the time.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I'm sure that's happening some, but mostly it's people taking them and saving them.

[Mike]

Well, and now I watch the Olympics and I'm just like, well, they're hooking up. They're hooking up.

[Bobby Bones]

And they might be, but that's really not why 10,000 condoms were gone in three days in the Olympic Village. It's because if you see free stuff that's cool, you want to take. Take it back with you.

[Mike]

How do you know that? Did you read that somewhere?

[Amy]

Memorabilia?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it just makes sense.

[Mike]

But they should tell us the truth, because the whole world right now, it.

[Bobby Bones]

Could have been 10,000 T shirts that were just laying on a table.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you believe they're wearing all these shirts in the village? No, they're taking them because they have. It's fun to take.

[Amy]

I was thinking, like, little matches.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Equivalent.

[Amy]

Like there's just tons of them sitting in a bowl. So you grab a handful and it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, okay, completely agree. Ray, give me number seven.

[Caller/Guest]

I got two girls, they love going to the dance. And Amy was right.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just basically the girls dancing but thought was funny. Is this coming from the guy who kisses his dad on the lips and you're talking about a dance with your daughter being cringe?

[Caller/Guest]

Maybe you need to check yourself. Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, this is lunchbox saying that dad daughter dances are gross and cringy. And he's saying you still kiss your dad on the lips. But that's not cringe.

[Eddie]

No, it may be cringe to other people, but it's not creepy. It's not weird. I think getting dolled up and taking your daughter out on a date is weird. It's creepy. Like if you just want to go grab a bite to eat at Chili's, that's fine. But the whole doing the hair and taking pictures and it just. It's weird.

[Amy]

How dare parents create special moments and memories with their children?

[Eddie]

So if a mom got dressed up in her ball gown and a son is wearing a tux, you'd be like, what is going on? It is so weird.

[Bobby Bones]

I really wouldn't think that was that weird. If there was like a mother daughter.

[Eddie]

And this is what I liked is everybody's response is like, it's a dad's duty to teach their daughter how they're supposed to be treated. And so the son doesn't get taught how to treat a woman. I mean, like, that's not one of the things. It's just weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That has nothing to do with it. This. A son has nothing to do with what we're talking about, which is a dad daughter.

[Amy]

Do they have mother son dances?

[Bobby Bones]

I heard they do just from listeners, but I've never seen. Seen one.

[Eddie]

Never seen one in my life. Now my. My Facebook feed is not flooded with pictures of, you know, moms and their son. I'm yours. But with the dads it is. It's like, oh, no, that's not what you're supposed to put up.

[Bobby Bones]

And I would say to each their own, but I don't think there's anything wrong with a father daughter dance. It is a bit odd. Lunchbox kisses his dad on the mouth still. But that's. That's a teach their own.

[Amy]

Does he do both his parents, though?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Amy]

It's mom and dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Still weird. Even weirder.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but Eddie, what's weirder? That or the daughter dad dance?

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

The daughter dad dance is not weird. No.

[Eddie]

Anybody agree that it is?

[Mike]

I'm not an aside, but it's. It sounds on paper, it sounds weird.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it doesn't.

[Amy]

Eddie. If you had a daughter and this was going on, you would get dressed up and you would love it, probably.

[Mike]

And I don't like how he says dolled up like they do.

[Caller/Guest]

That girl gets dolled up.

[Mike]

That makes it sound so gross.

[Bobby Bones]

Living on a prayer. Yeah. That song gets everyone singing. And now singing it could send you on a flyaway trip for two to see Bon Jovi live this summer.

I didn't ask him about this because I knew that everybody was probably asking about this, but you see the thing of Michael Jordan grabbing his son's butt over and over and over again.

[Amy]

Yeah, I saw it on tmz.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Mike]

There's a video of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, I never saw it. Super viral for like two days. He had ice down his clothes from the. And that's him. It was weird looking. I'm not gonna say it wasn't weird, but that's what it was. And I've seen him answer it so many times at this point. So I didn't ask him about that. But we do talk about Michael Jordan. And so we're gonna play this now. This is Tyler Reddick, winner of the Daytona 500, here on the show.

[Caller/Guest]

It's a Bobby Bones show interview, in.

[Bobby Bones]

Case you didn't know. We're gonna talk to Tyler Reddick. Amy, do you know who that is?

[Amy]

Can't say that I do.

[Bobby Bones]

He just won the Daytona 500.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. No, I.

[Mike]

No, I know. She's being honest.

[Amy]

That's not on my algorithm.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. So for a lot of our listeners, they will love this.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He drives the number 45 Toyota. His company is owned by Michael Jordan.

[Amy]

I know who that is.

[Bobby Bones]

It was Michael Jordan's first ever win, right, guys?

[Mike]

Yes, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm no NASCAR connoisseur either, but I.

[Amy]

Did see a headline that Michael Jordan now has a NASCAR race win too, or something.

[Mike]

Yeah, but he's not. He's not the racer.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Amy]

So now this makes sense. I did see that.

[Bobby Bones]

So now Jordan's got one more than LeBron at that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's a little joke.

[Bobby Bones]

So anyway, Tyler Redick, he won it. Something happened crazy at the end.

[Mike]

Oh, it's a crazy ending. Dude ended in a wreck. So like basically all the cars kind of split and Tyler happened to be there.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're gonna ask about, like racing movies, the stuff that I would normally ask about. But let's now talk with Tyler Reddick. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Amy]

Tyler Reddick.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Tyler. Thanks for hanging out, man. Are you tired still? You got some sleep?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I've gotten some good rest. We, you know, we stayed at it pretty good Sunday after the race. We made sure to at least get like 4 hours, 5 hours sleep, so that was good. And then, yeah, last night we. We ate a really good dinner and yeah, we, we. I think we slept about seven or eight hours last night, so.

[Mike]

Good.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, we're. I'm actually running pretty good on energy wise. My wife's really tired, but. But I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

So I want to ask you a question because we're expecting a baby soon. It'll be my first child, but I was reading a story that you had a baby around 2am and you still raced the next day. Is that true?

[Caller/Guest]

Same day?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I mean, it, it felt like. I mean, in essence, it feels like the next day, but yeah, Rookie, my youngest, was born like, I think it was around 2:20am and on Sunday of. Of the Coca Cola 600, which, you know, by distance and most. And most of the time, you know, the time that goes with that distance is our longest race every single year. Um, and so, yeah, that was just a huge undertaking for me. It was a lot for my wife to go through too. You know, we. What I can basically tell you is the way we've done this two times now, we've done a really bad job of energy levels going into the hospital. What you need to try and do is, is sleep as much as you can before you get to that point where the water, you know, where water breaks and you're heading to the hospital. Both times now it's been at the tail end of like our busy ish day and we're like rolling into the hospital running on fumes. You know, me and Alexa, that night that, you know, we went back to the hospital for Rookie, our second one, we were both telling each other how tired we were and like, yeah, we just, we knew it was close and we were both kind of like, yeah, let's get the kids. You know, let's get Bo down for sleep. My. My oldest, and let's just like sleep two or three hours and reevaluate and see where we are. So she goes downstairs to like, you know, take a bath or something, get ready to go to bed. And I'm putting Bo to bed and just about the time Beau falls asleep, I'm like dozing off. I'm so tired. You know, tomorrow's gonna be a really long day. I hear Come back up the stairs, and she's like, my water broke. So we were. Man, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a.

[Caller/Guest]

It was a long night for her. It was a long night for me, but we got through it. But, yeah, the biggest thing I can say is do everything you can to catch up on rest before you go to the hospital, because doing it running on fumes is. Is brutal for so many reasons. And then, yeah, that happened, and I think I slept an hour at most. And then I was back at the racetrack suiting up to run the Coca Cola 600, so sleep deprivation was in full effect.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you feel at any time maybe I shouldn't race this because I've had no sleep, or are you only on adrenaline?

[Caller/Guest]

I think I was strictly on adrenaline. And, you know, funny enough. Well, I mean, for me, the. The race that, you know, they join the 500 is obviously a huge. A huge race and a race you always want to win year in and year out. But for me, I'd say, like, the last three or four years, it. It. The. The Coca Cola 600, we've been so strong, and every time we go into that race, I know we're capable of winning it. And so, you know, for me, it's like, man, this is a huge race. It's super important. Like, you know, I'm. I kind of started the race off. Like, I'm gonna really pull it back. You know, I'm gonna just let it come to me. We're starting, like, 12. If I don't get to the lead till about halfway through the race or up in the top five, it's okay. And funny enough, that race, like, started off and I'm just, like, chilling, and I'm blowing by guys. And next thing I know, I was running third to, like, Kyle Larson and William Byron. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm literally just doing my best to take it easy and save my energy, and we're already at the front, so we'll just kind of chill here for a bit. And ironically, it took. I didn't get an opportunity to get by William Byron for about another 200 laps after that. But it was a long race, for sure. But that's always one that, you know, we've always been so good at. So, ironically, that happened the same day as that, and it just kind of adds to the. To the story of. Of Rookie coming and joining us. And in. In the fashion that he did it, he still doesn't like to sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes I'll drive to work and not even remember driving to Work. You ever. You're just like, huh, I just got here. Does that ever happen when you're driving? You're like 40 laps, just. Why? I don't remember anything about it.

[Caller/Guest]

Not in the race car. But yes, driving the. You know, my. My commute to Airspeed's a lot shorter than some of the other places I've raced at. When I was racing in RCR, it was 58 minutes pretty much on the dot every day one way. So, yeah, those, you know, Those, you know, 6am mornings heading up to. Up to welcome or whatever. I mean, I would be. I. I pretty much get. I'd be pulling into, you know, pulling into RCR and I'd be like, wait, how'd I get here? I don't remember anything. And I just have, you know, podcasts, music, whatever going in the background and just. Just kind of like mindlessly driving to work. It's pretty. Pretty wild. But the. The commute to. To Airspeed, where we live now is only about. I mean, it can. Can sometimes take 30 minutes, but typically it's about 17 or 18 minutes. It's pretty short.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I know your grandpa. That's weird.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Benny.

[Mike]

No kidding.

[Caller/Guest]

Of course.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What the heck?

[Caller/Guest]

Yep.

[Mike]

So how do you know him?

[Eddie]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

It's Benny Brown, Broken Bow Records. And then he.

[Amy]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

Oh, we know Benny.

[Bobby Bones]

What the heck.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you kind of grew up. You kind of grew up around country music then?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir, I definitely did. Yeah. Whether, you know, it was living in California and, you know, he was doing the dealership thing and helping artists get under. Get their feet under themselves in Nashville. He did that part of it for a little bit, and I think he kind of got tired of putting in all this work, getting this. This artist prepared. He would get them to Nashville and feel like they kind of get put on the shelf and go nowhere. And so I think after going through that enough times, he's like, I have enough. I've had enough of this. I'm gonna. I'm gonna put more. I'm gonna put more in the game. He's gonna. That's how, you know, Broken With Records got started. And, you know, he had Craig Morgan at first, Craig for a long time. And then obviously, like the real big one that it's always funny to me to look back on. Jason Aldean obviously went on to have an incredible career in music, but it was funny. I remember meeting Jason very early on, and my grandfather just like, not loving his. I. I gotta be careful how I say it. Like, just my Grandfather was big on like, traditional country music. The clean shave guy, the cowboy hat, the, you know, the, the 80s 90s cleaned up country look. And then when he found Jason, Jason was, you know, your kind of rock country guy. The chain on his wallet, you know, the tour jeans, the, the loud shirts, the loud personality, the earrings, everything, right? And so I remember when Jason kind of came into the mix, I was like, we asked our grandfather if he was okay because this is everything, you know, this goes against everything that he was kind of trying to build these, these artists up to be. And so it was just really cool to see all that come together. I mean, my grandfather just has an ear for, for, for music like that. And you know, I, I remember so many times I'd be sitting in the car with him and he's got, you know, all these demos, all these tracks for the different artists that he was working with. And, you know, he just kind of had an ear for what a single and a hit was going to be and kind of put, you know, helping piece together the, the album with the songwriters and everything. He just, he's got an ear for it just, you know, he was a man of many talents. He, he was very good at selling cars and he's able to turn into, you know, putting together artists with great songwriters and making great music. So, yeah, he's done some incredible stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Whenever an artist comes to Nashville, because most people don't live or not, they're not from Nashville, there's always a story about them coming here. Now you grew up in California. Do you have a story of like, okay, I guess I got to go to North Carolina because that's where it all is.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, you know, it was. Yeah, it's kind of like, you know, they're different industries, but it's kind of the same thing, right? Like, you know, in racing, if you want to be a NASCAR stock car driver, you have got to put yourself in Charlotte, in the Charlotte area. You know, pretty much all the major teams are here, all the major manufacturers, whether it's, you know, Ford, Toyota, Chevy and Rams kind of coming back into the picture. I mean, you've got to be in the location that, that all these people in, in the sport, you know, call home. And so, yeah, it was the very same thing for me in that way. I, you know, pretty much remember, you know, we were living in Southern Illinois at the time, racing some dirt stuff. And it was, you know, I'd gotten the opportunity to run in the truck series for Breck Slowski and his race team and Yeah, I pretty much just had to take what I could, throw it in my car and. And drive out to drive out to North Carolina. I've been here, you know, 12 years since.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that one of those things like an artist where you just have to go find an apartment and you don't really. You just know a couple people and you kind of have to start your life new, figuring it out?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yeah, it was pretty crazy. You know, I knew some of the guys that I was working with and racing with, but, yeah, it was kind of like just going somewhere you didn't know and starting completely over. I was very fortunate that one of my friends. I had a number of friends that were in the area kind of doing the same thing. You know, Kyle Larson was a couple years ahead of me in that process. So he was in the area. Obviously, he still is. And one. The one that comes top of mind for me is my friend Greg Stumpf, who owns Off Axis Paint. He's painted helmets for goodness, maybe even more than 20 years now. But me and him go back to dirt racing days. We used to be parked next to each other at the dirt track, and he would work on his friend's car. And so I had, you know, a couple relationships, and Greg was the one that kind of helped me get going in North Carolina. Obviously. He still paints my helmets to this day. He spotted for me a few times when. When the opportunities have come about. We've won races together, which is awesome. Yeah. Like, Greg kind of helped me find my. My home in my center, and we've been able to stay friends and continue the friendship for years and years down the road since. But, yeah, it's tough when you move somewhere you've never been or don't know a lot about. It's super important to be able to lean on friends that you've connected with before getting there.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it a part of the racing culture whenever people move and they want to start being a part of it or they have to have other jobs too? I just compare it to Nashville when people move here, like you have racing buddies had to wait tables for a while before they could buy their first tire. I don't really know how that works.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I think it definitely. It was a bit before my time when that was more of a thing, you know, you've heard. I've heard stories about, you know, like, Chase Briscoe came about it in a very old school way. A number of drivers did that. The. The times really changed a lot, I feel, you know, 15 or 20 years ago it started to go more in the direction the drivers coming to Charlotte to get in the truck series, the XPINI Series, or now the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series. You know, they would come here with. With nothing, and the team would bring the. The partner to the driver. And. And now in this day and age, it's. It's gotten more the way of the. The driver already having the partner and kind of already having himself kind of, you know, his feet under him to some degree, so he's not having to, you know, go away tables and do all that sort of stuff. But I do remember in my early days at bkr, you know, I grew up racing dirt, and I worked on everything I drove. So when I got there, you know, I was doing everything I could to help help the pit crew guys out get adjusted to me. So I go over to Penske and drive the pit stop car there, and, you know, they eventually pretty much got me to stop. But any chance I could, I wanted to work on the trucks I was driving. Any chance I could, I wanted to go back in the fab shop and hit the machines and, and make parts and pieces that we'd use and eventually got to the point where, you know, some of the managers and bosses of the BKR were like, look, we can't afford you to go back there and get your finger caught in the lathe and rip it off because you're supposed to drive a race car. So a lot of that has changed as I've been here, too. You know, the sim world, the data, all the things that we have access to now. There used to be a time where, yeah, as a driver, you'd wonder what you kind of do throughout your week to prepare. And. And now there's just so many tools and things that we have access to that you can spend, you know, your entire week running, sim training, looking at races, going through film. I mean, you just try and scrape together the best schedule possible so you can be as efficient as possible with your preparation.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, what's the most realistic racing show or movie?

[Caller/Guest]

That one's hard for me to answer.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not a documentary because, you know.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, like, I feel like I was definitely the kid that, that loved the. The vibe that Days of Thunder put out there with Tom Cruise. And, you know, I was. I found, like, in my teenage years, I just loved comedies. And I've come to find out that, you know, Talladega Knights is nothing like what NASCAR was at the time or is now. But. But there was a time where, I mean, I'd watch that movie like once a night. I love that movie so much. So for me, I mean, I wouldn't say I, I be able to tell you the most accurate but certainly, you know, Talladega Knights and Days of Thunder are just two amazing movies that, you know, maybe not the most accurate but just, it's just so awesome to see, you know, people like Tom Cruise and Will Ferrell and you know, in Talladega Nights, Sasha Baron Cohen do the job that they did. It just those movies are fun and I, I remember when I moved to Charlotte, you know, I try and figure out where that, where that Applebee's was where some of these, some of these scenes happened. At Harvick. Harvick bought the house that I think was the, the mansion in the movie. Like the, some of the drivers really enjoyed, you know, the positives that came with the kind of exposure a movie like that gave it.

[Bobby Bones]

I just got a few more questions. Do you keep anything in your car for good luck?

[Caller/Guest]

I don't keep anything in my car for good luck. I don't, I don't think I have anything like that, you know. Yeah, I mean we are so my, my crew chief, if I had anything in the car that wasn't useful for good luck or anything else, the weight of it he would have a problem with. So even if I wanted to, it just, just, it would probably be non negotiable. It would not happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you keep anything from after your win memorabilia wise?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, you know, I wasn't able to like pull anything off the car or anything like that throughout the process. But you know, after we ripped, me and Michael Jordan were able to hoist the, the Harley JR Trophy. We had the ring ceremony. I got this Daytona 500 ring here. Unfortunately it's flown off my hands a few times. So my, my friends at Jocelyn's are going to have to help me clean it up a little bit. I think for me that's, that's a really cool part of it. But also me, I love, I love watches. I really do. And I've always told myself, you know, I, I love Rolex watches. I really do. And for me I never, you know, I, I just didn't feel like it was right to buy a cosmograph Daytona. I felt like I had to earn it. And so to be able to earn this watch is part of the ceremony Monday morning. It may be hard to see, but on the back here it's got Daytona 500 winter engraved on the back. For me that of the things I'VE gotten. This is probably the one that, that is the most meaningful. I remember when a long time ago I told myself, you know, I want a Daytona Rolex watch so bad, but it was so important to me not to just go buy one. It was super important for me to earn it. And so, yeah, I haven't got it adjusted to my wrist yet, but I've been. I've been wearing it ever since, along with the ring I keep flying off my hand.

[Bobby Bones]

You're gonna like this. So this is my watch. On the back of it, I have Daytona winner as well. I just had him put that on there just for fun. It says Daytona winner. So I just.

[Mike]

And you just bought it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I just thought it'd be fun to do for no reason. Never even raced. But final thing I want to do instead of getting into. Because I've watched you talk a little bit and it's crazy. You were second last year. And then also your, your role and who know, it was a whole scene at the end of the race and I don't know if you felt like you were going to win it ever, or if all of a sudden, if you knew you had a shot and then you won it, would you answer that question? Did you feel like you were going to win it or was it, okay, the situation may present itself that I can win it? It.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. We had that costume with about eight laps to go. You know, Michael McDow had, had stayed out and looked like he was going to steal it away on the fuel mileage side. So when it brought the field back together, I knew I had this. I mean, Sunday could have possibly been my best ever, the best shot I'll ever have at winning the Daytona 500. And so when we were under caution there, I really let the, the heaviness, the, the moment kind of like sink in for a couple minutes. And the emotions and everything were kind of running wild for me because it's childhood dream to have this opportunity. And so I thought that was good in some ways that I let the emotions and everything that this race means to me kind of take me for a second. I was able to put it away and put off the side and like, all right, this is, this could be the only shot that is as good is this to win the Daytona 500. And I definitely didn't treat it like I'm winning this race. It's done, it's happening. But I, I definitely understood how important the moment was. And this could potentially be the best shot I'll ever have at winning It. So I made sure to not let any noise outside or even, you know, the emotions that I had. You know, it was important for me to feel them have that moment of understanding it and then put it aside, and it's like, all right, instincts, and just go, drive. Go do. You know, go do the things that I do inside the race car. And I think it was very fitting that the race didn't really go back into, like, a standard. You know, the restart was chaotic. The field never really got formed up. People were able to make a lot of moves that typically don't happen towards the end of the race. It normally kind of calms down a little bit at the end, and for it to stay that chaotic was, I think, the best case scenario for me, because that's typically when I win these speedway races, when things kind of hit the fan and get mixed up like that, and there's just unexpected things happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, congratulations. My final. Final question. Let's say you had a bag, and it's one of those mesh bags, and it was full of basketballs, and you walked over and you said, hey, Michael Jordan, would you sign all these for me? What would he say?

[Caller/Guest]

I think he would laugh at me. I don't think he would. He made it. Maybe since I won the Daytona 500, he'd signed one for me. I. I think.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

You know, I think I. I definitely feel like, you know, if there's. Whether it's my helmet when we get it back or there's something a part of what I had, I think it would be cool to. To, you know, have his signature on it or maybe the other way around. You know, me and the guys, whether it's he gets the car or there's something of mine that was a part of the race, I give to him. You know, for me, he. He always likes to have something worked out, like, okay, we can almost, you know, like, if. If you're able to. To accomplish these great things, here's what I can do for you in return. So it's always fun to kind of go back and forth with them on things like that and see where it leads to.

[Bobby Bones]

Congratulations. Really appreciate the time. I know you're still high on the hog right now and deservingly so. So, yeah, have. Have a great rest of the week, and hopefully we'll talk again soon.

[Caller/Guest]

Awesome. Thank you so much.

[Bobby Bones]

See you later. All right, that's gonna do it. We're done. Anything, Amy, before we go?

[Amy]

I just want everybody to feel good.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank God.

[Amy]

About our situation. I just think.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the cruise.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't. I love the drama.

[Mike]

What were you thinking?

[Amy]

I don't love drama.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, in general.

[Mike]

That'd be great.

[Caller/Guest]

I mean.

[Amy]

Yeah, in general.

[Caller/Guest]

General.

[Amy]

I want that too. You're right. I do want that too. But I think just, like, sometimes when we. We've had Cruz talk the last couple days, and it just.

[Mike]

Well, it's easy.

[Amy]

There's a little bit of tension.

[Bobby Bones]

Easier to comment from the pan.

[Amy]

This is. I feel like it's. Bobby, you don't understand the awkward position that I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the one that made the joke that started this whole thing.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I didn't make the joke. It literally. No, it literally was because I was.

[Amy]

Like, oh, my gosh, let me say this. What I ever. Letter, letter, letter.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm happy. I'm happy to play this game. So you can go first. No, no, no.

[Amy]

Okay. I didn't know what everybody else was. And then when you started saying the things, then I pulled up my form and I looked at my room letters, and so I said them, and I was like, oh, I miss, like.

[Bobby Bones]

And then.

[Amy]

And then Mike goes, oh, my gosh. This is like the Titanic where I.

[Bobby Bones]

Like to give the actual.

[Amy]

That is what happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so this is what happened. I am asking Scuba, like, hey, what time are we going on the boat? Whatever. He's like, you gotta email about it. And then I come in and I'm like, hey, what's it? When's everybody getting everywhere? This is off air. And I pull up my room and I got some room, and I say, this is it. And then Scuba's complaining about his room. Yeah. And so then everybody goes to their emails to pull it out, and both Eddie and Lunchbox said, I don't know what the room's called, but we got the level three room. Yeah.

[Amy]

So we were all saying our room.

[Bobby Bones]

But then Amy opens hers and goes, I got level two.

[Mike]

Yeah, you started laughing.

[Amy]

It's not that evil.

[Mike]

It was.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's why I was like, oh, we gotta record this, because however this shakes out is gonna be interesting.

[Amy]

No, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause I didn't know. I had no idea.

[Amy]

I just would like, yes, it was funny. It wasn't an evil laugh. But now that it's turned into this whole thing, it's just funny.

[Bobby Bones]

I would say you're the one that spurned the whole thing.

[Amy]

Well, I can't help that. That's the broom I was given.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, it's hilarious.

[Amy]

It was funny.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not even holding it against you.

[Amy]

Yeah, I can get the humor. And even Mike's joke was funny, but then it was like.

[Mike]

And then you brought it up again. You're just like. Well, I hope everyone just is okay with the situation.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody feels good.

[Mike]

We're not okay with this.

[Amy]

How can we make it better, though? Because, like, I don't want it to get awkward on the boat.

[Eddie]

Like, it's already awkward.

[Amy]

We have to go to our rooms. Like, I'll give Lunchbox my room.

[Eddie]

Okay?

[Mike]

No, you won't.

[Eddie]

I love it. You heard it here, you heard it here. That's. That's contract binding.

[Bobby Bones]

It's setting precedent. It's setting precedent.

[Eddie]

That is binding. I'm going to the people.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not binding.

[Eddie]

No, it is binding. She just said it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not binding. What do you mean? You say something is not binding. You don't know what binding means.

[Eddie]

I could take this to court and she just.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can'.

[Eddie]

This is an oral contract.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no such thing.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness. You want to bet?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Because you both didn't agree to either.

[Eddie]

No, I agreed. And she agreed. I agree. I'll take your room.

[Bobby Bones]

We're done. We will see you guys tomorrow. Hope everybody has a great day. Bye, everybody. Well, the holidays have come and gone once again.

Now Most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail] this is Angela Yee from.
