Come on Bobby Transmitting.
Bobby Bones
Four men were arrested for the burglary at the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Now this has become a theme where professional athletes when playing their games, a lot of times on the road they have their houses broken into. Now this was a story because as they broke in, one of the people that called 911, you may remember this was a bit of a famous influencer. And then we found out that they were dating. And I think at one point I could be wrong about this. I'd already heard the rumors they were dating. I live in those circles.
Janice Torres
What?
Bobby Bones
I just know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody. So I don't really live in the circle, but I kind of had an idea already. But secondly, Luka, Bobby Portis.
T-Mobile
Kansas City Chiefs.
Bobby Bones
Mahomes and Kelsey, maybe both.
T-Mobile
Yeah, I think those two.
Bobby Bones
Maybe Kelsey. Right. And there was a group that were targeting them. Crazy.
Janice Torres
I heard gang. Is it a real gang or just one of those burglary gangs?
Bobby Bones
I'm glad you asked. Four Chilean nationals who authorities believe had a role in the December burglary of Joe Burrow's Ohio mansion were arrested. This is an update to that story. Court documents that TMZ obtained showed the suspects were taken into custody on January 10th. Where's my mouse today, 22nd after officials say they saw signs during a traffic stop. Authorities wrote in the documents that men who were illegally in the country or outstayed their permissions were in possession of an LSU shirt. Can you imagine? You're wearing Joe Burrow's stuff after you rob them. You ever see that clip in court? It's TikTok. And the judge is like, okay, you've stolen Da da. And you've also stolen a Miami Dolphins jersey. And the guy's wearing the jersey in the clip. It's hilarious.
T-Mobile
That's funny.
Bobby Bones
And the guy's like, yeah. He goes, sir, are you wearing the jersey now? So funny. But this guy. They had the LSU shirt, the Bengals ball cap. They were taken from Burrow's place. They also stated the guys had husky automatic center punch tools that are commonly used by the South American theft group to break glass and enter into houses. None of the four are currently facing burglary charges, but the docs show they've all been hit with felonies, including possession, possession of criminal tools and participating in criminal gangs. That's from tmz. I wonder if they had anything to do with the other ones, because we had heard that, too. Yeah, like they were targeting wild. And maybe this has changed because there has been a string of these wild that you let everybody know you're on the road by just your actions, because you can't hide it when you're on television and nobody's at your house. I don't think that normal people, even famous normal people, although they may live behind a gate and it could be a bit difficult to get behind the gate, I don't think that people have security at their house. All the time a lot of times. Just for privacy reasons.
Janice Torres
Well, because also. Yeah. I mean, that would add up. And the security might need to be with you on the road.
Bobby Bones
But you could hire somebody else. Right. If you. But most people that I know that are medium to pretty famous, I don't have any friends that are, like, super, super famous. That's a whole different world. Like the Biebers and the pop star. Like, I don't know any of those people. But they don't want people always at their house because, like, their husband or their wife. I don't like people, like, looking in the window. Even security people looking all the time. But if they're gone and you know they're gone, I'm surprised people with means don't have somebody there.
Janice Torres
Also, there's certain husky tools that are considered criminal, I think, for what they.
Bobby Bones
Were using them for. Specifically.
Janice Torres
Okay.
T-Mobile
To break glass like this.
Janice Torres
I know.
Bobby Bones
But, yes.
Janice Torres
You can't just have a tool from.
Bobby Bones
I don't think that's it. And I don't. I'm not the expert on husky tools. I'm an expert on a lot of.
Janice Torres
Things, but I'm like. But I think if they have it and it matches the crime scene, it becomes a criminal tool because. But if you're just a worker that actually needs that, you're not running around with a criminal tool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't think my uncle at roofing houses, he's got the old husky tools going to be arrested. But I'm surprised when they're gone and you're a pro athlete that you don't have somebody, even like an aunt or uncle at the house. But he did have her there. The girl he was dating or who was working for him. But they didn't know that because she called 911. She called her mom, then called 911.
Janice Torres
Right. It just almost makes whoever staying there vulnerable because if they think that nobody's there, but then, like, no, no, no, somebody's here.
Bobby Bones
Well, she didn't want to be known. She was there. So I don't think there are a lot of lights on or a lot of walking around. Oh, when we leave, if I'm like, I got a tour date or I'm at this place, there's somebody always there. One Stanley, a bulldog. He can't go to, like, dog daycare anymore because he. So his immune system is so weak because he's a bulldog. These dogs are so weak. He's also awesome, so let's not get it twisted. But he gets sick all the time. So we can't put him with a bunch of other dogs. So somebody has to stay at the house with him. But while they're there, they hold a machine gun. That's the rule.
T-Mobile
Good.
Bobby Bones
Keep it around your neck and it's a machine gun. And watch for husky tools. Anybody coming toward the house with husky tools, that's bad news. But, yeah, I know that they. All these athletes. Olivia Ponton was the. Was the model they called him. Hello, I'm Kyle. She. I believe at one point she was a lesbian.
T-Mobile
Really?
Janice Torres
What do you mean, you believe at one point.
T-Mobile
He's heard in the circles.
Bobby Bones
The circles I live in. I believe she was a lesbian at one point. Wow. Or bisexual, but I think a lesbian. Mike, would you research that for me?
Mike D
Should I Google her name lesbian?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think you can. I think she's had girlfriends.
Janice Torres
I think she has a boyfriend. So that would be. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So. And she. Olivia has said she's a lesbian, but she's. She has explicitly said she's a lesbian. Now I'm reading that from Reddit.
T-Mobile
Credible source.
Bobby Bones
Source. Here's one from TikTok.
Janice Torres
But they use the word explicitly.
T-Mobile
Oh, yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Anyway, regardless, I hope these athletes don't get robbed anymore, because they were definitely targeting these guys, and all they got.
T-Mobile
Was LSU gear and a cap.
Bobby Bones
Can you imagine when you go on vacation?
Janice Torres
Just what they were wearing.
Bobby Bones
Came all the way here, and all my grandson got me was this stupid T shirt.
Janice Torres
Yeah.
T-Mobile
He broke into Joe Burrow's house and all he got was an LSU shirt.
Bobby Bones
I'm sure they got more than that. Okay. Yeah, I read that. That's good. The Razzie nominations are out, which means these are the worst movies, and so we probably haven't seen these movies. I'm assuming possibly Mike D. Has seen these movies, so I'll ask.
Mike D
He's seen all but one.
Bobby Bones
Okay, read me the best. Well, worst picture. Razzies.
Mike D
Yeah. Borderlands is a bad video game movie.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Didn't watch it. Did you watch it?
Mike D
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
Bobby Bones
It is bad.
Mike D
It's like they left in mistakes. You can see people in the crew in certain shots.
T-Mobile
No way.
Mike D
There's a part where, like, they open this thing, you can see the arm of somebody working on the movie.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Why does that happen?
Mike D
They rush these movies. Terrible production.
Bobby Bones
But how much rushing is it to cut somebody's arm?
T-Mobile
Right.
Bobby Bones
Or like, when one of those boom microphones almost hit somebody in the head? Occasionally those will be in movies.
T-Mobile
Or did they hire just, like, one of their sons to like, all right, quality control. Watch this movie. Make sure there's nothing wrong with it.
Mike D
It's such an important shot that they're like, oh, we have to use this. And they probably couldn't take it out digitally, or they didn't have the money to. So they're like, all right, leave it in the movie.
Bobby Bones
There are typos in my first book, Bare Bones, so I can understand having so many things wrong that they can't catch them all. And I have the biggest publisher. I mean, I think HarperCollins is possibly the biggest book publisher in the world. So it's not like they don't have the resources. But I think I had so many errors because I didn't know how to write a book. I'm talking about either typos or I just structurally were writing sentences wrong, and a few of them made the book.
Janice Torres
Maybe they were just trying to keep it real.
Bobby Bones
And is that what they were doing with the movie, Just keeping it real?
Mike D
Yeah, keeping it real.
T-Mobile
You can't keep the boom guy in there.
Bobby Bones
I agree. You should keep a typo in a book either.
Mike D
I mean, there are mistakes in pretty famous movies. Like in Dances With Wolves, you can see a guy on a horse with Nikes. It happens.
T-Mobile
Oh, that's funny.
Janice Torres
Do you think they do that on purpose, though?
Bobby Bones
Not then. I could see now, because there are. There's a strategy on social media where if you get on social media and you say something wrong, a little factually inaccurate as a part of your entire video.
Janice Torres
Right.
Bobby Bones
That you're only doing that so people will notice, post a comment, which then creates engagement, which then more people see your video.
Janice Torres
Yeah. Like this one person that does these cooking videos, she'll often be like, okay. And then you do a teaspoon of Golic, and then everybody freaks out, and they're like, it's garlic. And she's. But she's doing Golic on purpose.
Bobby Bones
Those people need to relax, because that could be an accent thing.
Janice Torres
No, no, no, no, no.
Bobby Bones
But if I were like, okay, teaspoon of cyanide.
T-Mobile
That's different.
Bobby Bones
That would be a bit different.
Janice Torres
Yeah. Y'all don't know who I'm talking about. The golet girl.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Janice Torres
It's not.
Bobby Bones
I can't say I consume a lot of cooking content.
Janice Torres
I don't either. It just shows up. I don't know. I don't. Her stuff always pops up on mine, maybe because it gets me over there and I watch it. I never follow her. But then I get more and more, and I Get so annoyed.
Bobby Bones
I go, like.
Janice Torres
But I don. Engaged.
Bobby Bones
I get annoyed at stupid stuff which we talk about in the show. I get annoyed at the stupidest stuff. We all have stupid stuff we get annoyed at. Lunchbox, Shaq, Amy, Golick, me. Sad sacks who don't really say why they're sad, but just want you to feel bad for them. I hate that. Mike, give me another movie.
Mike D
You have a joker, too?
Bobby Bones
Never saw it. Had friends that watched it, including you. You gave it a terrible review and they were like, it was really weird. I said, was it bad? And they were like, it was so weird, I can't even say it was bad.
Mike D
I think the director made the movie he wanted to make, but since it was a musical, it was for nobody. Because the first one was so, like, shocking, impactful, R rated. And, you know, it made you feel very, like, dark. This was just dumb because it's just random singing that has nothing to do with anything. And for a musical to not have any good song is like, what's even the purpose of this movie?
Bobby Bones
Any chance this movie becomes Pinkerton?
Mike D
Nah, I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
Pinkerton was a Weezer album everybody hated, except now everybody loves it because it was hated for so long. Different than what they were known for. A bit odd that now, after so many years of Pinkerton's the Weezer's worst album, that people love Pinkerton now. It's not like a cult. There are other cult. I wonder if you don't think this can be that.
Mike D
No, I think if there's a bad musical, people don't really go back and revisit and be like, oh, yeah, this was actually something good.
Bobby Bones
I'm pretty impressed with my Pinkerton reference, I'll be honest with you.
T-Mobile
What's. What's on that?
Bobby Bones
Being a Weezer guy. Anything we would know? Yeah.
Mike D
Butterfly.
Bobby Bones
No. Massive song. I think that was part of that album. Was. I don't know that there were any massive Weezer alternative hits. I can look here. I hate to be wrong about something I really love, so I'm going to not be wrong. From Pinkerton Crosses. Oh, yeah. El Scorcho.
T-Mobile
El Scorcho.
Bobby Bones
Pink Triangle. I was going to say pink triangle. That was going to be wrong, but yeah. Anyway, enough. Enough of my niche comedy. What else on the list?
Mike D
Madame Web.
Bobby Bones
Don't know what that is. Charlotte's Web.
Mike D
No, it was the Sony Spider verse movie where it's supposed to be like, oh, yeah, with Dakota Johnson.
Bobby Bones
And she didn't want to promote it because she thought it sucked yeah, she.
Mike D
I think she thought she was joining the mcu, which is totally different. And this is like the bad side of Marvel, which now they're done with. It was like one of the worst scripts I'd ever. Just like, there was no thing that made sense in this movie. There's one part of the movie where she totally goes on this side quest and leaves all these other people just hanging and then joins them back like 30 minutes later.
Bobby Bones
Question. Do you think you can read a script and know if the movie is going to be good?
Mike D
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Then someone like a Dakota Johnson or another very famous actor that is good at their craft, how do they read scripts and then do a bad movie?
Mike D
I think sometimes we forget that actors don't know when their next job is gonna come.
Bobby Bones
So if they're on the fence, if they're.
Mike D
If they need to take a project, they need to make some money. They could say like, oh, here's a movie that I'm gonna be the lead in. This would be good for my career. It's attached to a big studio. I should take this because of what the step I'm trying to get to right now.
Bobby Bones
Could some of it be too, that they. This is what I would think. I'm reading this. I don't know. I don't. I don't get it. But there's so much cgi. I'm depending on massive promotion by the movie company because this is a Marvel movie that there's a lot that they don't know and they're filling in the gaps with the success that that business or property has had before.
Mike D
Yeah. I think with her specifically taking on this movie, she thought, oh, Marvel, I don't get superhero movies, but I see that people love them. I see that they make a lot of money. I don't really understand this script, but I'm gonna trust it based on what has been successful.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'd probably take all those.
Mike D
And with this movie, she was in front of like a blue or a green screen the entire time. She doesn't even know, like, who she's acting towards. She doesn't know what it's gonna turn into. She's like, okay, I guess it's gonna work.
Bobby Bones
I would just trust it. I almost took the movie Fart Eater because I thought it would be great based on just. It's a superhero.
T-Mobile
And the plot.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Luckily, I didn't get it. I finished second. I didn't get it. And I was like, this movie kinda sucks. It's kind of gross. But I trust it. Never happened. Give me one more movie.
Mike D
Megalopolis. This was another passion project. Fail. It's Francis Ford Coppola who did Godfather.
Bobby Bones
I've heard that. Oh, yeah, Godfather. I don't. I never. I've never seen the Godfathers, but I just act sometimes. When someone says Francis Ford Coppola, I'm like, wow. No idea who really that is.
T-Mobile
And his daughter is Sofia Coppola, who's.
Bobby Bones
I might know who she is.
Mike D
She's like a more modern Lost in Translation.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think I know who that is.
Mike D
A Priscilla movie.
Bobby Bones
Or maybe I'm like, oh, that's Francis Ford Coppola's daughter. You didn't like that one?
Mike D
He spent his own money to make it. He, like, put up his vineyard to get, like, $100 million to make this movie. Kind of the same way that Kevin Costner. Yeah. So these directors who have been around a long time, they want to make these movies that they've always wanted to make, and they almost just make it for themselves and don't really consider, like, the people watching it. It was like three hours long.
Bobby Bones
They should do social media like I do, just do it for myself. That way it doesn't cost $100 million.
Mike D
And the movie was really about nothing, so it just kind of falls apart. But it's just something that they've always wanted to make and they don't really care if it successful or not and spend their own money on it.
Bobby Bones
Bad movie?
Mike D
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Any of them on the list that you thought were actually pretty good?
Mike D
No. I mean, Madame Web is so, so bad that it's kind of fun to watch, to make fun of. It's one of those movies. I mean, I was mad watching it in theaters because it was so bad that I wanted to leave. But it's one of those that if I had to go back and rewatch one, that would be the only one just to remember how dumb it was.
Bobby Bones
Speaking of dumb and social media, I'm going to do a video at some point today where I'll just be sitting in a chair and I'll kind of look at the camera and be like, hey, a lot of you guys are going to be upset about this. I, as a kid, I hunted a lot, and I haven't been hunting, you know, much at all in the past 10 years. But I did recently go hunting yesterday and killed something. I killed Oscar the Grouch.
T-Mobile
Oh, funny.
Bobby Bones
And I'm wearing my. My cardigan. Looks like I peeled Oscar the Grouch's skin off today.
Janice Torres
Oh.
T-Mobile
Kind of does it looks like a costume?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it looks like I. Looks like I killed Oscar the garage, skinned him and wore it to work today, and then just leave it there and see if anybody. The problem is I'll do jokes. Not everybody gets them because sometimes maybe they're not even that funny, but they're funny to me. I'm. I'm Francis Ford Coppola of social media.
T-Mobile
Yeah, but you're right, it's much cheaper.
Bobby Bones
I do passion projects that only make me laugh. It's like when I do bits at home for my wife or just bits to the dog. Just do them for me. And people may just not get it. Cuz I'm not going to go get it. I killed Oscar the Grouch and peeled a skin off and I'm wearing it. See how furry my cardigan is? And then maybe you should say, well, I haven't written. I don't need. I don't need to rewrite yet. I don't need to rewrite.
Janice Torres
You don't have to rewrite.
Bobby Bones
I don't need to rewrite yet. I'm not there yet. Oh no, here we go again. Oh, my God. The other day we were. We had finished the show. This is my favorite moment. No, I love this moment.
Janice Torres
Let me finish my sentence.
Bobby Bones
I know, I will, but I want to tell this moment, please, because it's so timely and I love it so much.
Janice Torres
What is timely about this? They're not related. They're not.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead, Amy.
Janice Torres
They're not related.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead. They're not like the clock.
Janice Torres
Mine is related. Not because of something you're saying. I was just. I was making a joke about something we talked about a minute ago with the Golic. Maybe you say Oscar the goat, and then people will be like, it's Grouch, you idiot.
Bobby Bones
You're hitting the table. I'm trying to do better at not hitting the table.
Janice Torres
I was typing.
Bobby Bones
No, you were fake typing. Hitting the table. That's funny. Okay, you know what? That's your own brand. And no one else thought that was funny. But I do that all the time where no one thinks my stuff's funny.
Janice Torres
So I felt it.
Bobby Bones
No, we got a Groot or whatever.
Janice Torres
Go like you miss. Yeah, we got it because of Go like.
Bobby Bones
But then I'm trying to do two jokes at once with no real end.
Janice Torres
Imagine.
Mike D
Yeah, I think you mispronounce, like Cardigan or something.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, if I were to do that, I can't be like, we can work Oz blower, the gouge.
Janice Torres
But. But you.
Bobby Bones
It's so stupid. I don't. It's the bit. So dumb. Anyway.
T-Mobile
Anyway, I can tell Amy's story.
Bobby Bones
I love this story.
Janice Torres
You didn't go hunting? You went.
Bobby Bones
No, we were finishing up on a Friday.
Janice Torres
I believe we were finishing up on a Friday.
T-Mobile
What?
Bobby Bones
What's wrong with you? I think you should be proud of the story.
Janice Torres
I'm just gonna keep repeating you. Tell the story. It's stupid.
T-Mobile
It's funny.
Janice Torres
Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Do you not want me to tell the story?
Janice Torres
You tell the story.
T-Mobile
Oh, boy.
Janice Torres
Tell it. Fine. Get over with. Tell the story.
Bobby Bones
I think it's hilarious. She's repeating me now.
T-Mobile
But why is she repeating me?
Bobby Bones
I don't know, but that's funny to me.
Janice Torres
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Really. I'm unmedicated now, so in this environment, I drive forward very hard. Meaning we run a very tight ship, Right? Do I have a couple minutes? Am I still good on time? Yep. Okay, seven. We run a very tight ship. If there is a down moment, if we're at commercial, if we're playing a song, we are getting something else done. If it's a countdown, if it's reads for another city, if it's bits we're doing. Because vacation's coming up where we want to have all these shows. Like, I feel like I am extremely type A organized, and so is Mike D. And I'm type B. A lot of our stress is making sure that every single thing is done for this show every single day. And we're finishing up one day because it may even been last week because we had Monday off.
Janice Torres
No, I know exactly when it was. I'll never forget.
Bobby Bones
Please. I'd like to hear. Because I could be wrong about this.
Janice Torres
Part we were preparing for, just in case.
Bobby Bones
Oh, the snow.
Janice Torres
The snow.
Bobby Bones
That's right. Good job. So we were doing extras to make sure that if it snowed and we couldn't get in, that we recovered with a fresh new show. I hate reruns. And we'd finished up everything. Countdowns, commercials, other city reads. We've been working like this for years. When I had to live in South America for a while, we got really good at it for doing a television show wanted. Dancing with the Stars. Mike and I are really good at stressing the freak out about getting all these shows done. And so we're finishing up, and Amy's like, are you sure we're done?
Janice Torres
That's not how I said it. That's not how I said it.
T-Mobile
You said, all right, I think we got everything.
Janice Torres
And I said, oh, are you sure? I didn't say, are you sure we're done? I said, oh. Cause I still had some papers out. And normally when I finish whatever I need, I flip it over. So this was on me, but I hadn't flipped over one thing that I thought was done. And I thought, well, I better double check this.
Bobby Bones
When she said this, almost every eyeball went up and looked at Amy, like.
Janice Torres
And then you go. You go, I'm kind of offended right now. What? Because I'm trying to look out.
Bobby Bones
I had us here. It was like, 2pm We've been here all day. And he's like, are you sure we're done? That's not how I said it.
T-Mobile
There have been times where, like, Bobby says, we're done, and Mike's like, actually, we're not. We have these things. Or vice versa. But they both were like, yeah, I.
Bobby Bones
Believe we're good here. We're good here. You two.
Janice Torres
Yeah, y'all were like, shut up, you idiot.
Bobby Bones
No, neither were Matt. I laughed. I thought it was so funny.
Janice Torres
But you're saying it back that I was like, are you sure we're done? And I didn't turn up my nose or say it that way. I just said, oh, it was so funny.
Bobby Bones
Everybody thought it was so funny.
Janice Torres
Oh, are you sure?
T-Mobile
Hilarious.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But I will say again, we push forward constantly. But the person that I encourage, there are two. One afterward is Scuba. If he's like, you didn't get this done. But during, it's Amy. Because Amy has every right to stop me and correct me, especially for recording stuff. She's like, you didn't say this right. You didn't say this right? And, like, I need that.
Janice Torres
Yeah, but now I'm.
Bobby Bones
No, because you did it this morning, too.
Janice Torres
No, but I was gonna do it right away. But I was gonna do it again this morning.
Bobby Bones
Yes. No, no, no. Not on that.
Janice Torres
No.
Bobby Bones
I said something wrong about tickets. Just my brain. I read things wrong. She's like, you didn't say that. Right. I need that. Like, that's very important to me.
Janice Torres
Okay, but do you want me to stop you right away? Cause I went ahead and, like, finished the whole thing, and then I told you, and I was like, no.
Bobby Bones
Cause it's not the same things. It was just the organization part. You were challenging both Mike and myself, and we weren't even mad. We just thought it was hilarious. But let me tell you, that Ms. Add was like, are you sure it's funny.
Janice Torres
Yeah, I know. So I. The reason why I would let you Wait it out is because I thought maybe he meant to say tickets.
Bobby Bones
No, you know, I didn't.
Janice Torres
You know, I knew I didn't.
Bobby Bones
You know, I mix my words up.
Janice Torres
Sometimes, but then I didn't want you to be like, I meant to do that.
Bobby Bones
No, because those I don't do. That was the one instance where that was all. It was just funny. Nobody even was. Nobody even cared. Oh, yeah, it's hilarious. You're the only person that cared. Because we thought it was so funny.
Janice Torres
I know, but, like. Yeah, I just. Trust me, I won't forget it.
T-Mobile
It was funny.
Janice Torres
Amy.
Bobby Bones
It was funny.

Bobby Bones
We back. A woman in South Carolina who copied another customer's purchase at a convenience store won a $200,000 lottery prize. The woman told the clerk to give her $25 worth of the same $5 tickets as the previous customer. So copied. She just bought the same thing. That's copying. That's not an IP you own, so it's not like you're stealing code. Whoa. It didn't say steal. It said copied. No, I know, but copied almost feels like stealing. Ah. Because if you copy someone's homework and they don't know it, that is dishonest. That is stealing. She later said, I hope the gentleman in front of me won something good, too. I bet the gentleman didn't. A South Carolina woman who copied the purchase won $200,000 on a gold Rush scratch off. Now, had they copied the numbers and hit in the lottery, that have been a different story because they both would have hit. Yeah.
T-Mobile
And did she say, like, I. I didn't know what I was going to get, but when I saw him get that one, I just said, give me that one, too. Like that. That's different.
Bobby Bones
Right.
T-Mobile
But what if she went in there thinking, like, I want that one, and he just have an order in front of her?
Bobby Bones
No, because she told the clerk to give her $25 worth the same $5 tickets as a previous customer. I would think in court, I'm not, probably not going to win this argument, but I would think that she just saw him do it, maybe didn't care. I was like, I'll just take the same.
T-Mobile
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
Bobby Bones
Nothing. But the headline makes you think that she stole something. Which, by the way, I know it's not Tuesday reviews day, but we did watch the first episode of the Night Phone Call. Answer. What's it called?
Janice Torres
Night Agent. Yeah, Night Agent.
T-Mobile
His job's to sit in the night room.
Janice Torres
Why I said that.
T-Mobile
And watch the phone.
Bobby Bones
Yes. You ever see. Do you guys ever watch It's Always Sunny?
T-Mobile
No. I want to, though, because everyone says it's so funny.
Bobby Bones
Night Man.
Mike D
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's like one of the greatest. I won't even say it's an arc. Like, it's one of the funniest things when they Play. They do a show and Night man is a character. It's like a. And they're doing a musical about Night Man. It is Night man, right. I'm getting now mixed up with a night manager. And he's like, when Night man comes inside of you, because Night man, like, goes in and takes over someone's body. And Danny was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. That doesn't sound. He's like, no, no, you go.
T-Mobile
You're like, that's Night Man. Yeah, that's the song.
Bobby Bones
Night then comes inside of you and holds you down. He's like, no, no, no, no.
T-Mobile
That's funny.
Bobby Bones
Like. And I'm now, because I used to watch religiously, because when I was special, when I would download shows, but now I just kind of consume all the old stuff through TikTok again. It's part of my algorithm.
Mike D
They just did a crossover episode with Abbott Elementary. It was funny.
Bobby Bones
That's interesting. I did not know that. I don't think I'm caught up enough to. You don't even have to be caught up. But that show, what's. And if you've never watched the show, I don't even think. This is not interesting. But what happened was one of the guys on that show, struggling actor, shot a. Basically a proof of concept, a pilot with just his video camera. Spent like 500 bucks.
T-Mobile
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
And they just shot it. And the whole premise, that show is about these friends, and they're all kind of despicable in their own way, which makes it funny. Like, they're not great people. It's kind of like succession. But if it were just hilarious.
Mike D
Yeah. Criminals.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So they're not good people, but they're funny. And so the first pilot episode is one of the guys telling his other friend that he has cancer. And the other friends, like, just trying to get out of the room. And, like, that's the whole premise. Yeah. He's like, yeah, you know, I've been really. I gotta get to work. And he's like, no, I don't think you had it. And it's so awkward.
Janice Torres
Oh, gosh. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But. And so they take that and they do that and they pitch it, pitch it, pitch it. Nobody wants it. And finally, like, fx, I believe, is where it still is. Yeah, but it's. It's. It's had how many seasons? I mean, it's 20.
Mike D
It's like the 2010. So. Yeah.
T-Mobile
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So they. They said, well, we don't want the story to be of the struggling actors, which is what it was like, can you do it somewhere else? That's not Los Angeles. So they. They were like, yeah, we'll do Philly. And so instead, they did it in a bar, which they have Patty's.
Mike D
Patty's Pub.
Bobby Bones
And so they have the bar. And so they do the first season, and it did. Okay. And the executive. And I've heard the story told where the executive's like, we need to add somebody to the show that has, like, a little punch. It's not just you four friends. Like, we don't want to do the show if you're adding somebody. And they're like, it's Danny DeVito. It's like, we love Danny DeVito. We think we don't know him, but we love him. Cheers. But we don't think this is for us. Like, we are the four friends that we're going to do it. And the executive was like, well, then we're going to cancel the show. And they're like, we love DeVito, Adam. And then it became so natural. Like, Danny DeVito is so good, and.
T-Mobile
He wasn't in the first season at all.
Bobby Bones
In the first season. No.
T-Mobile
Wow.
Bobby Bones
But it's a good story of a show that almost didn't make it many times. Almost was canceled. I mean, Family Guy was canceled, and it became so big on DVD that they brought it back.
Janice Torres
Dvd. Wow.
Mike D
That's how I started watching it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Family Guy was canceled. Seth MacGyver did a season or two. Whatever it was, maybe even one. Not sure. They canceled the show, but it did so well in DVD sales as they brought the freaking show back. And now it's still on 20 years later. Another one of those examples is the Office, where they kept continuing the Office. They do season one. It's based off a British show, doesn't do great in the ratings. And the writer strike happens, too. My Name Is Earl got canceled from the writers strike whenever the Office. The Office survived barely. And so they finished season one. I believe they gave them six more episodes in season two, which is not a commitment. But what happened was it started to be downloaded so much on itunes, video, whenever you could watch videos, that that is really what gave them. I won't even say courage, but the confidence to invest money in the show because they knew people were watching it in a younger audience. And so that was really what caused that show to be renewed again. One of the major factors, a lot of those stories, most success stories, are of people just barely hanging on and barely hanging on until that. Right. Like that right spot is hit. And they're able to grow from that.
Mike D
I mean, he's like the creator of Squid Game was pitching that show for 10 years before they picked it up.
Bobby Bones
Yellowstone was bought by Max and they wouldn't. They then decided not to produce it. Like, they. They wouldn't. They were like, it's not for us. We don't want to do. So all these. Most of these massive things that happen are things that just barely hung on by a thread until someone, the creator, the person that invested just wouldn't quit and it finally caught somewhere and all it needs is a little head start. I mean, Lunchbox and I, we robbed a bank. Almost got a bank, a store. Robbed a store. Do we almost. I thought we were done. We were done. We were suspended for weeks with no, like, we're suspending you, here's the end date and you can come back. Then we're suspending you and we have talked to our lawyers and you're probably going to be fired. But once we came back, game over. Because we were in Austin, we weren't even syndicated. We were just. Morning show had no ratings. But once we came back, it had been talked about so much, we just barely got to come back. I think the show made just enough money because the station was struggling and they were like, what do we have to lose? A couple idiots, we'll put them on for six months. And it came back and we never weren't number one for like seven years after that. We would never do that again. Oh, no. I spent a good amount of time in the big house. By me, I meant Lunchbox. But yeah, yeah, yeah. I was there with real criminals. With kind of. No, it wasn't prison. It was jail. It was real criminals. Yeah. Not convicted felons, but jail. Now, one guy was like, oh, man, they got me. Hopefully I'll be out here in six months. I'm like, oh, boy, I better get there by 6:00.
T-Mobile
I didn't know you can be in jail for six months.
Bobby Bones
I think based on what he was going to have to, like, plead and plea and then do it. Dang.
T-Mobile
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't think Lunchbox was in the penitentiary, but yeah, yeah. Most success stories are that hang on just long enough to have a shot. That's it. A new study found that the most dangerous state for children to live in is Texas.
T-Mobile
What?
Bobby Bones
Mostly due to child abductions and school shootings.
T-Mobile
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
What? Florida is second, followed by California, three, Tennessee, four, Georgia, five.
Janice Torres
Child abduction. Just because the state's so big or because there's the port in Houston or Mexico.
Bobby Bones
Texas has abduction day, too, which a lot of people don't know about. It's a holiday. Oh, this is like.
T-Mobile
What day is that?
Bobby Bones
Free abductions. We don't tell you. Yeah, no, it's. It literally is looking at data from all 50 states, including abductions, shootings, crime rate, kidnapping rate, which I guess would be abduction, missing child cases. Whoa. Texas, Florida, California, Tennessee, Georgia. At 6 is Colorado, 7 is Alaska, 8 Utah, 9 North Dakota, 10, Arkansas, of course. We got to represent in some way.
T-Mobile
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's some live 55 news. How to prevent and recover from the norovirus, the stomach bug that is surging. I had this thing.
T-Mobile
How did you recover?
Bobby Bones
Guts. Determination. That's right. You fought the will to live, the will to love.
T-Mobile
Is that what it says in your little story there?
Bobby Bones
Nah, that stuff. It says wash your hands.
Janice Torres
That's it?
Bobby Bones
Well, no, there's a few things.
T-Mobile
Take some time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. It's like, take care of yourself. But mine was mostly the will to live and the will to love. Norovirus transmission can occur after you touch a contaminated surface, eat food prepared by someone who didn't wash their hands, or consume unwashed fruits and vegetables. They have the virus on the surface. It takes 12 to 36 hours. Number one, wash your hands. Number two, prepare food at home. Number three, hit the drugstore as soon as possible. Stock up on over the counter anti diarrheal medication and electrolyte sports drinks. Because what's happening is when you do get sick and it all comes out either up or down, you gotta replenish that. And a lot of people, including myself, don't at times because it doesn't feel comfortable to do.
Janice Torres
Mm.
Bobby Bones
Practice isolation if you get norovirus. And good hygiene keeps it from happening. If you can. It's from University of Chicago Medicine. Hey, Scuba. They want to come in. They. Come in, come in, come in, come in. We have. Yes. Enter, enter. Hello. Come on in. Come in, come in, come in, come in. Kelly, come over here. Just come sit down for a second. You're welcome to sit down. We are on no big deal on YouTube right now on a podcast. We would. We would love to talk to you.
Janice Torres
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
So, Kelly, let me know when the microphone gets up. Scuba, raise the works. Kelly, you're not running from the law or anything, right? Like, you can be here.
Austin Hankowitz
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Because that happens sometimes. Where people will put. Will be like, hey, you want to go on? Like, I can't because my wife knew I was up at the Station. They should kill me so that you're good. Where do you live? What. What state do you live?
Austin Hankowitz
I live in Massachusetts.
Bobby Bones
Are you Boston?
Austin Hankowitz
Yes.
Bobby Bones
My. Except for winter. Oh, it's brutal.
Austin Hankowitz
It's colder here now.
Bobby Bones
Now I love Boston. Like, top three cities. Except winter, where I. I can't do it. I don't have. My bones hurt. My blood hurts. Everything hurts. Were you born and raised in Boston?
Austin Hankowitz
Yes.
Bobby Bones
So to you it's a normal day? Yep. Snow. When it's snow. Do you guys ever cancel school because of snow?
Austin Hankowitz
Very rarely.
Bobby Bones
We do if it's, like, it might snow in a month. Schools cancel because we don't have, like, the trucks or the infrastructure. Yeah. Where you guys do. Which, by the way, we should say this. You work for Wayfair.
Austin Hankowitz
Yes, I do.
Bobby Bones
Which we're massive fans of.
T-Mobile
Are you a Southie?
Austin Hankowitz
I am.
Bobby Bones
Whoa.
T-Mobile
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Okay. DiCaprio.
T-Mobile
I just got that from Good Will Hunting, dude. So it worked out okay.
Bobby Bones
Aflac.
T-Mobile
Matt Damon.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Do you take pride in Ben Affleck or Matt Damon? Ben Affleck. Those guys.
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like local. Because in Arkansas, we don't have many people. We have Johnny Cash dead. We have Brooks Robinson, third baseman, Baltimore Orioles, dead. Bill Clinton almost dead.
T-Mobile
He's not almost dead.
Bobby Bones
He's like. Yeah, yeah.
T-Mobile
He's got. Probably got some time.
Janice Torres
Well, he's on the later side.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Janice Torres
Of life.
Bobby Bones
Me, barely alive. So. Yeah, you guys have a lot. Who else do you have that you like? Wahlberg. Yeah.
Austin Hankowitz
Mark Wahlberg.
Bobby Bones
What about the other Wahlberg? Donnie. Not as much.
T-Mobile
Poor guy.
Bobby Bones
Not as much acting. McCarthy. Jim McCarthy.
Austin Hankowitz
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Wahlbergers.
T-Mobile
Tom Brady.
Bobby Bones
Not from there, but. Yes.
T-Mobile
But still a hero there, right?
Janice Torres
Benjamin Franklin.
T-Mobile
What are you talking about?
Janice Torres
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Was Franklin from Boston?
T-Mobile
Are you talking Thomas Jefferson?
Janice Torres
I did famous people from Boston. And Benji popped up.
T-Mobile
Oh, Sam Adams.
Janice Torres
That's right.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Tea party. Tea party.
T-Mobile
No, I was thinking the beer, but.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm just doing a different one. The Tea Party. So how long you've worked for Wayfair?
Austin Hankowitz
Five and a half years.
Bobby Bones
I got our chair in yesterday that we ordered. Let me tell you about it. Or do you care?
Austin Hankowitz
Tell me about it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. It came as. So when we've ordered beds from you guys, we assembled them. Or we pay somebody to assemble because they're so large you're just gonna deliver a bed. But I was super excited. The chair. I just asked my wife. It came assembled.
Austin Hankowitz
Nice.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't for sure if it was gonna come assembled or not. The chair we ordered Came assembled.
Austin Hankowitz
That's the same. When I order something, sometimes I get surprised and it shows up fully put together.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So how. And what do you do at Wayfair?
Austin Hankowitz
I lead our audio marketing team.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so, like, what you're doing here?
T-Mobile
Yes, that makes sense.
Bobby Bones
You come on. Talk about people from Boston that have influenced your life greatly. If I read an. This is what we got. We got the Latitude Run Royale 40 with Balacle swivel, single chair. Is that your favorite of all?
Austin Hankowitz
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I thought so. It's really popular with the. With the young folks. Yeah, we're big wayfarers. And this is not a commercial. They were just, like, you were coming by, and I was like, that's great. Bring her on in. And so what is your goal? Like, what can we do that makes us win in your eyes? Like, what do you. For us to be, like, a good partner? Like, what do we do that wins?
Austin Hankowitz
Talk about it conversationally. You know, getting the audience to relate. We have thousands and thousands of products that people don't necessarily know that we have. We call them, like, our endless aisles that you can shop online. Everything from, like, vanities to. I know. Amy, you were talking about a cat litter box.
Janice Torres
Oh, well, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Do you know who we are? Are you familiar with us?
Austin Hankowitz
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I didn't know if, like, you're just, like. I wasn't taking that for granted. Okay, that's Amy. Okay, great. Continue conversation. She's our friend.
Janice Torres
So a litter box can just be an eyesore. And y'all have these cute little. I'll call it a little litter box hutch thing that I got that goes over the litter box so it looks like a little house. And it's so cute. It's wicker. I just. It helps make it not be such a eyesore. And my cat likes going in and having the privacy.
Austin Hankowitz
Absolutely. We got something at our apartment. It's like a dog crate, but it's also a coffee table, so it sort of blends the crate into your living room so you don't actually see it. And it's not an eyesore.
Bobby Bones
I was watching this show last night called Night Agent. Is that what it's called, Guys? Yep. And he has this table that turns into a safe. You have any of those? Because I feel like I've done all the numbers on the bottom because we've looked for. We bought a bunch of stuff from Wayfair. So you have a little square on the numbers, and you just go, page one, page two. He pushes the button and goes. And like, the safe is in the middle of it. If you have that and I didn't get to it, would you link me?
Austin Hankowitz
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Bobby Bones
That'd be awesome.
Austin Hankowitz
I'll see what I can find.
Bobby Bones
And then he puts his phones in there so they can't track them. If you have an untrackable desk that turns into a safe with a push of a button, let me know. I'm going to buy that.
Janice Torres
Can you say the name of your swivel chair again, bro?
Bobby Bones
Let me go back to it.
Janice Torres
I know. And also, Benjamin Franklin was born on Milk street in Boston.
Bobby Bones
There you go.
T-Mobile
That's cool. You know where that is? Milk Street.
Austin Hankowitz
I don't.
Bobby Bones
You set up for failure there, Eddie.
T-Mobile
Well, you know, I just find it. I thought maybe that's a very.
Janice Torres
Well, eddie, it was 1706, so maybe the street has changed back in the day.
Bobby Bones
Okay, here it is, amy. It's the Rael R A Y E L40 with Boucle. Swivel. Single chair.
Janice Torres
Are you saying boucle?
Bobby Bones
It's spelled B O U, C L E Balcol.
Austin Hankowitz
Boucle.
Janice Torres
Okay. Boucle.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Janice Torres
I didn't know if you were saying boucle or blue.
Bobby Bones
Like, how would I say blue is boucle?
Janice Torres
I didn't hear the boo. I heard, okay. You know my hearing.
Bobby Bones
What?
T-Mobile
You've never said anything about your hearing.
Bobby Bones
Never once. Once. Amy was like, you know how I am with repeating things. And we're like, no, we don't.
Janice Torres
See, you still don't remember what it is. It's because I say things to y'all and y'all don't remember. I said, you know how I am with my words. I like for them to have a double meaning.
Bobby Bones
And we're like, you've never once said that to us.
Janice Torres
But, yes, I have. And I've also talked about how my hearing is terrible.
T-Mobile
Really?
Janice Torres
Multiple times.
Bobby Bones
It must not have heard you.
Janice Torres
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
It's called the rail. 40, maybe inch width. Boucle Swivel. Single chair. Sits deep and comfortable by latitude. Run quantity one. It was delivered on the 17th.
Janice Torres
Okay, cool.
Bobby Bones
Boom. You gonna get you one.
Janice Torres
Found it. Thank you. Thank you for spelling it out for me. I was obviously hearing the wrong thing because I couldn't find it.
Bobby Bones
What's the offices like? What kind of. At Wayfair, like, everybody go in right now. Can you work remotely?
Austin Hankowitz
Some, yeah. We go in four days a week.
Bobby Bones
Does everybody have Wayfair furniture? Do you have to sit on Wayfair furniture?
Austin Hankowitz
Yes. The whole office is decked out head to toe. And anything you can think of from.
Bobby Bones
Wayfair, because my friend worked at the Buckle and they had to wear all Buckle clothes. You ever been to the Buckle? Do you know what that is?
Austin Hankowitz
No.
T-Mobile
Are they still around?
Janice Torres
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Some malls. The Buckle is a store you go into at the mall, and they have jeans. You know, some pockets have a lot of designs on them. Most of the jeans have, like, crazy, like, a lot of designs. And then you go in and you're like, I want to try this shirt on. And then while you're trying the shirt on, they just start throwing, like, seven pair of pants over the top of it and belts and, like, you try this on. That's my experience with the Buckle. But you had to wear Buckle clothes because I had a friend who worked there. And what if you, like, I want this chair, and it wasn't Wayfair and you took it in? Do they care?
Austin Hankowitz
I don't think they would care. No.
Bobby Bones
Do you have an office?
Austin Hankowitz
So it's all open floor, so we're all sitting in groups of desks that we call pods together.
Bobby Bones
We had ordered two chairs. Like, we wanted them not assembled. We had to order a non assembled chair for later this week because we were gonna have a contest between Morgan and Eddie on who could put it together the fastest. The problem is Eddie broke his arm.
T-Mobile
Mm. So now what do we do exactly? Or do I. Or is this just my handicap? Like, I just deal with it?
Bobby Bones
No, because then you have an excuse if you lose, right?
T-Mobile
I mean, that is a big excuse. Yeah, that's because I broke my right arm.
Bobby Bones
How long are you out?
T-Mobile
Six to eight weeks.
Bobby Bones
What did the doctor say yesterday?
T-Mobile
Six to eight weeks?
Bobby Bones
No, like, more about your broken arm.
T-Mobile
He said that it's definitely broken. They did more X rays on it and that I can put a cast on it, but it'd be more a pain in the butt for me if I had a cast on it. Or I can just be a responsible person and not hit my elbow, keep it in a sling, and ice it, like, every hour, which I haven't done in, like, two hours.
Bobby Bones
So then what if we just punt, Scoob? What if we just punt the bit back two, eight weeks.
T-Mobile
Eight weeks or six? Who knows?
Bobby Bones
Dude, that's fine.
T-Mobile
Maybe I'm a fast healer.
Janice Torres
Maybe. Can someone else just do it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But Eddie was the one that he was so sure that he could beat Morgan. The rest of the guys were like, probably can't beat her.
T-Mobile
Lunchbox said, he probably can't.
Bobby Bones
Beat her. Yeah. So it's like, I don't want someone who thinks they're gonna lose to. Eddie was like, oh, I can. Eddie thinks he's so great at putting stuff together that that was what it was.
T-Mobile
How about, like, I have someone to do what I tell them to do it. Like, I'm like their manager. You know what I mean? Like, stand behind him being like, that screw goes there. Put that one there.
Bobby Bones
You're not gonna be supervisor in this role. And so how long are you in town? Are you just doing Nashville, or do you fly all around and see other people that talk about Wayfair?
Austin Hankowitz
Just doing Nashville.
Bobby Bones
And how long are you here?
Austin Hankowitz
Till Thursday morning. So quick trip.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's tomorrow?
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Are you doing, like, any Nashville stuff? Like Honky Tonks?
Austin Hankowitz
Going out to a couple dinners around here? But we're here for an event that Wayfair is sponsoring.
Bobby Bones
What? What event?
Austin Hankowitz
It's the Studio615 live concert sessions with Pandora.
Bobby Bones
Oh, we weren't invited to that. Can you get us some tickets?
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah, absolutely.
Bobby Bones
Well, we are big fans of Wayfair. I met with Wayfair like, a year and a half ago, accidentally in, like, a foreign country. They tell you that.
Austin Hankowitz
Was it in France?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I just sat in on a meeting. It wasn't my meeting. And I was like, you guys are Wayfair. I was like, oh, dude. I bought, like, six things from you guys, and I showed them, and then.
Austin Hankowitz
I think that was my manager.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, probably. But, yeah. Glad you stopped by. Do we need to do anything else? I mean, I don't know. I didn't even know you were coming by. I was like, just have her come in. And you happen to come in while we're doing this.
Austin Hankowitz
I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And anything you want to promote. Sort of like an artist that comes in. When's your album come out?
T-Mobile
You have a new song.
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah, I don't.
Bobby Bones
You want us to. Not the Instagram. You want to share? None of that. Okay. All right, well, then I guess that's it. It's been really great.
T-Mobile
It was your chance. You could have done your Venmo.
Austin Hankowitz
That's true.
Janice Torres
I don't think that. That.
Bobby Bones
Have we met before? At a musical in Vegas.
Janice Torres
Yes.
Austin Hankowitz
The I Heart.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Because everybody was in there.
Janice Torres
Angela Yee.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And I felt like I was being rushed because Ryan wanted to see you guys, and I was like, Ryan Seacrest? Yeah. And so in the hierarchy, Ryan up here, and then, you know, you play Plinko. I'm Down a couple notches. And so I went. That's. That's what it was.
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I'm not wrong about that.
Austin Hankowitz
There was a lot going on.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And the Blue man group was in the room. Yes.
T-Mobile
They were meeting with you, too.
Bobby Bones
No, but they were just there. I remember. I remember all this happening.
Janice Torres
And that other guy you saw with the tattoos.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. The lead singer, Papa Roach. Papa Roach, Yeah.
T-Mobile
I remember that dude.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't think he was the spokesperson of Wayfair, though.
Janice Torres
And they had the good snacks in there.
Bobby Bones
People can touch them, though.
Janice Torres
You were eating them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I shouldn't have.
Janice Torres
I know, but sometimes I feel like that's when you get in your sugar moments. You're like, forget it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. I give it all up for sugar. I give it all up. Well, thank you for coming by.
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Bobby Bones
I hope we're doing a good job. Hopefully, we'll continue to do a good job. Anything else we can do, let us know. I don't know. It's not a commercial, so I don't have anything to say. Like, was this fun promo code, Bobby?
Austin Hankowitz
Yes. I was not expecting this at all.
Bobby Bones
Send this to your bosses. I will tell them that you forced it. No, this is what you do. Be like, I showed up, and I felt like we needed a new strategy, so I said, hey, is there any way you can get me on the podcast? Last year, we had over 100 million downloads as podcasts. No lie and say like. And I said, do it or my way or the highway. And we said, okay, your way. And then you came in, and we told people to go to Wayfair.com and buy furniture.
Austin Hankowitz
I love that story.
Bobby Bones
But you have to cut this part off, because if you play them this part, then they'll know.
Austin Hankowitz
I'll stop it. Stop the clip before I send it to her.
Bobby Bones
Okay, cool.
Janice Torres
Are there any tips I've been looking for? I'm doing a new podcast room, and I'm looking for blackout curtains. So I've been on Wayfair, but do you recommend? Because there's so many. There's, like, you said, endless aisles. So for me, I am all over the place, and then I get overwhelmed, and I'm like, okay, I'll come back to this later. And so I guess probably what I need to take the time to do is go fill in the filters.
Austin Hankowitz
Filters are huge. They are my best friend. When I'm shopping on the site, know the dimensions of what you need. I think that narrows it down a lot for, like, the size that you need. Then you can pick everything from color to how you're planning light filtration.
Janice Torres
Like, I just need. So I need to. Okay. So that's just what I have to do. Because every personality is a little different. And for me, that's what gets. Like, if I'm having a lot of options is great, but then I need to use the tools to help narrow it down. Or I get. Then I have to walk away, and then I come back and I really need to make a decision, like, asap.
Austin Hankowitz
Yes.
Bobby Bones
We met a guy in Vegas who gives out $2 bills. He walks around, just gives out $2 bills. Do you have, like, a stack of Wayfair gift cards? Just give to people when you meet them. And you're like, hey, how about this? You're all out.
Austin Hankowitz
I don't remember the guy.
T-Mobile
I remember that guy.
Bobby Bones
$2 bill guy.
Janice Torres
Oh, yeah. No, my daughter remembers him because I think I brought her a $2 bill. And anytime we go back to Vegas, she's like, will you get me another two? Do that guy's there.
Bobby Bones
What are you doing today for lunch? Like, what's. What's about to happen now?
Austin Hankowitz
I'm about to go get breakfast with Iheart.
Bobby Bones
Breakfast. We forget. We wake up so long ago.
T-Mobile
It's dinner time for us.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We're about to go to bed for the night. Oh, Kelly, thank you for coming in.
Austin Hankowitz
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What's your official title?
Austin Hankowitz
I am head of Audio marketing.
Bobby Bones
Like, that's where your card says, Head of audio marketing.
Austin Hankowitz
Yes.
Janice Torres
Do you have a business card?
Austin Hankowitz
We don't. We don't use cards.
Bobby Bones
Were you ever assistant to the head of audio marketing?
Austin Hankowitz
No. So we just started the audio marketing channel this year at Wayfair. We hadn't been doing it prior and the first one to join the team.
Bobby Bones
Wow. You are. She. She discovered it trailblazer. She should get an award. First audio head of marketing in Wayfair history.
Austin Hankowitz
Wow.
Bobby Bones
You'll be like Benjamin Franklin, also born in Boston on Milk Street. Okay. Good to see you, Kelly.
Austin Hankowitz
All right, thanks, guys.
Bobby Bones
We're going to keep going, so don't feel weird when we keep talking because we're just in the middle of it. So we're just going to keep going.
T-Mobile
All right.
Bobby Bones
Thank you, Kelly. Was that fun? Did you have fun? Yes. Or was that weird?
Austin Hankowitz
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Sometimes people walk out and be like, I hated that. I didn't. They tricked me into getting on that on the show. Me, too. I'm introverted, too. Until it's time to do this crap, and then I come in and nail it. Thanks, guys.
Janice Torres
Bye.
T-Mobile
Good to see you.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so we were on norovirus, see if there's anything else. I wanted to get into that Wayfarer. They have so much stuff. I understand what you're talking about. Because there can be. There's so much that it can be easy to not want to pick. Because there's so much I just have.
Janice Torres
To go through and do all of the. Like, she is good that she's like, know your measurements. But then sometimes I'm like, I'll just measure later. But I need to measure before know exactly what I want.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, 32 waist.
Janice Torres
No, no. Measurements of my ceiling height 6 foot 1.
Bobby Bones
Width 6 foot 1, 32. A size 11 shoe. I have to get a new suit.

And here's the announcement. So 11:30 Central on the Bobby Bones Show YouTube channel. Also, our tickets are now on sale in Atlanta and Mobile for the Raging Idiots and Matt Stell.
