Bobby Bones
Bobby Boom. Come on. Hello. We had our show last night. It's kind of a weird night for me because my comedy special aired on CMT and I appreciate all the nice Messages and the DMs, and I did not get to watch it. I've seen it because I was part of the editing process now I wasn't the editor but in the choosing and going through. But I didn't watch it. And maybe it's better I didn't watch it because I think I just would have hated it. But I appreciate all the nice messages. A little bit of me was dreading coming back and going into the DMs because people have no shame about anything in DMs. They'll just say whatever they think and I would say is 98% positive. Which is great. Or yeah. Cuz even if people would have like went to it and it sucked, I think they still would have told me if you go to and you change it. I think the general person that did that doesn't really know me anyway and just wasn't entertained by it. But like there are enough people in the DM that would have been mean if they wanted to be mean. So I feel like that was a success. It's actually airing again on Saturday. They're airing it again on Saturday.
Eddie
I was going to ask that if it's a one time or, or can.
Amy
You watch it anytime in between? I don't know.
Bobby Bones
No. Oh no. Let me find where it's going to be Saturday at noon Eastern, 11 Central. It'll be right after they're doing. They want to do it in the daytime once right after CMT's Hot20. So if you want to watch it again Saturday the 8th, 12 Eastern, 11 Central. So we're doing that. But we played a show in Atlanta last night for St. Jude. It was Eddie and myself and Matt Stell and so had no option to watch it. So we did the show and I was kind of glad I was distracted by it. But we had a fun show last night and mostly when we do these shows and we're doing one in Mobile tonight because we're doing the show from Mobile and in the studio here it's just us with guitars and we're kind of telling jokes and stories and Eddie and I will play a funny song that's like 90 seconds and Matt still plays a really good song and it's like four minutes. So it's a, it's a nice balance. But we did that, went to a coffee shop this morning because we overnighted last night from Atlanta. And usually the bus situation is after the show yesterday, daytime drives rarely happen, but we had a daytime drive from Nashville to Atlanta. So we get there, we do the show, you get back on the bus and you go to bed and you wake up in the next city. That's mostly what tour bus life is like. You never even get on the bus to move until it's nighttime. Now you're on in the daytime, but the bus is never, never traveling. God, daytime drives are terrible. So we woke up in Mobile this morning, and so we were looking for a coffee shop. We found an Uber, went over to some place called Coffee Monster, Monster Coffee, something like that. They were super nice. That's like, a local place here. And they were like, will you post about us? We did and left there. We've been in this studio all morning. We'll do the show in Mobile tonight, and then overnight drive to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. So. And then we'll be doing the show from the New Orleans radio station in the daytime, we'll be doing NFL stuff. And then, I believe, Thursday night on Fox, NFL Honors. Unless I get booted, I don't know what I'm doing yet. But they were like, will you present an award on the TV show to one of the NFL players? I don't know if I'm with anybody. I don't know, but that's awesome.
Eddie
Well, like, that's a dream, right? Like, to give an award to an athlete.
Bobby Bones
The dream is to get an award.
Eddie
Well, you're not. But you're not a pro athlete.
Bobby Bones
No, I mean, just in general. So if you're like, what's the dream? The dream is to get an award.
Eddie
Yeah, I guess so.
Bobby Bones
So we're going to do that. But I hesitate to be like, I'm doing it. Be sure to watch, because I could get booted at any time. And they wanted me to walk the red carpet, and I still may. I do not like walking red carpets.
Eddie
Why not?
Bobby Bones
I am Baby Face.
Eddie
From. Is it the ap?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I am Baby Face. If you missed this clip. Hey, Raymond, did you happen to have it?
Ray
Yep.
Bobby Bones
So they're talking to Babyface. We played this on the show, and they're interviewing him on the red carpet. Babyface has won over 10 Grammys. Massive, songwriter, producer, record. LaFace was L A Reid. And Babyface, you know, the massive record, he's done it all. And he's being interviewed, and they see Chapel Roan behind him, and they're the rudest thing ever. And they kind of just were like, okay, you gotta go now. Here's the clip.
Amy
Can you talk about just this new trend that we're seeing in R and B, where we're seeing more of a fusion? We're seeing people blend the genre with pop. Blend the genre with hip hop and rock as well.
Bobby Bones
It's interesting. Chapel. Chapel. You guys want to do that? Go do that. Hello.
Amy
How's it going?
Bobby Bones
That's. That's.
Eddie
What does he do? Does he just walk off?
Bobby Bones
Like, he walks off, but he even says, do you want to do that?
Amy
Yeah. He's like.
Bobby Bones
And even the guy that's, like, handling it because there's always somebody that's trying to grab people coming by, he's like, thank you, baby face. Like that. That's how I feel when I do every red carpet. Now, they may not kick me out, but I know they want to and think about me walking down an athlete red carpet because I know they want me to go on and promote if they do want, because I said, I will do it if they want it. I would rather not do it, though. They want me to promote our podcast, Lots to Say, which is an NFL show, and it's Matt Castle, former NFL quarterback, and myself. And we have a new episode up today. Today's Wednesday. My days are. Yeah. Luke Bryan in studio. Is our episode today.
Eddie
Nice.
Bobby Bones
He talks about singing the national anthem, super bowl, and it's a good, really, really good episode. But they want me to promote that. But I was like, please, if they don't really want it, I would rather not do it, because I don't need that ego boost to be like, I'm on the red carpet. It actually is the opposite for me, where I never feel less wanted because I'm surrounded by people that are way more wanted than me, way more famous. They're there for a reason. So I'll do it, but I want to do it. But I'll be a good soldier. And then also, I should be on the show. Unless they cancel me. I get Baby from the show. They'll be like, chapel Rowan's going to present now instead of you.
Eddie
And you're going to be like, oh, you want to do that?
Bobby Bones
You're not. Fine, go ahead. So that should be Thursday night, But the super bowl stuff should be fun. We'll do the radio show, and then we're getting interviews with Emmet, Emmett Smith, Deion Sanders, Devo Samuel, Nico Collins. Yeah, I have all the lists. It's pretty significant, but it's all. It's. It's cool.
Eddie
Yeah, it's really cool.
Bobby Bones
So that's what we'll be doing.
Eddie
And do we need to get shoes after this? What's going on?
Bobby Bones
Like, oh, I need to go buy some shoes. We go to the gym, so forget to pack shoes. There's a Mall across the street from this place. I have tennis shoes, but not running shoes. I have. So I don't have shoes. I'm gonna go buy some shoes. We're eat in the food court. Apparently we're going straight. We're gonna get 15 years old. Panda Express. We're gonna rock that. So, yeah, that's kind of what our day is here. What's going on with you, Amy?
Amy
I'm gonna do some women of I heart country here today, record a couple of other things and then I'll leave work and go hike. And then kids, I gotta. I mean, they get out of school at 3, so we'll start like the homework thing. Really try to get on that early because I don't like being up late doing homework and then dinner and bedtime.
Bobby Bones
Has there been a movement to lessen homework because of. Over time they've deemed it to be insignificant because most is just busy work. Have you actually felt that or is that just a headline?
Amy
No, my kids have homework every night. My son was at a school for a little bit that did not have homework, which I thought that was epic. But their focus was on other things and. And I do think that there are places that do want to give kids that break. They're like, hey, look, let's have them at school. Let's get everything done they need to get done. And then they can go home and relax and not have that stress hanging over their head.
Bobby Bones
But question about that. So again, it's been a while since we've been in school, but we had homework, obviously. But you could get the work done. It was. They were assigning you to do this and whenever you could get it done, great. I didn't have a lot of homework because I could get it done at school because I wasn't dicking around. I wasn't. So I was like, I'm getting everything done here because I don't want to have to go home. And I worked a lot when I was a teenager, so I didn't have a lot of homework because same amount of work for everybody. But a lot of kids had homework because they chose not to do it at school. They had other stuff to do. Is it the same situation or do they give work when there's no time to do it at school and they just can do it at home?
Amy
I mean, I guess it's true. There's just sometimes it's when all the subjects kind of decide that there's gonna be homework. It adds up. My daughter is pretty good about using her study hall and any free moments to try to get her stuff done. But she's doing some online stuff, so I guess that's what she's working on at home mostly, because, yeah, she'll. She'll try to take advantage, like you did, of just getting it done. My son has homework clubs sometimes he goes to after school, and he'll get it done there, but he doesn't really have time during the day. And even homework, it just. I feel like every kid is so different. Like, he takes a lot of time. And we have this high school girl that comes over and helps him sometimes, like, tutoring, because I just don't have the patience always. And she's my friend's daughter, and she was like, hey, I'm looking to make a little extra money. I was like, sold. So whenever her schedule allows, I get her help. But he. Stevenson's not getting much done unless it's homework club. Stashira is like you, Bobby. I think it just depends on the kid.
Bobby Bones
Okay, then let me ask this question in a slightly different way, because I'm just curious about the culture of homework. Do they ever assign homework because they want it to be done at home only?
Amy
Yes, but I think some kids still can find a way to get it done at home school. But, yeah, for the purpose of, like, yes, this is your homework and come back with it done tomorrow.
Bobby Bones
I don't like, that's like, going to work, and you work your eight hours, and they're like seven hours and 58 minutes left. All right, Your. Your night work. Tonight's going to be like, I'm not. I mean, I just spent eight hours at work.
Amy
Yeah, but that's why twice a week at the school, there's homework club.
Bobby Bones
I'd walk at that club. I'd be president of that club.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I have a couple things on my list that I have not been able to get to. And so I don't remember this one. Eddie, a grocery store lady was amazed by you.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I even wrote down I need inspirational music because I thought it was so stupid, but I don't remember what it was.
Eddie
Yeah, Ray, if you have the music, I'll tell you the story.
Bobby Bones
Do you have any, like, knockoff. Chariots of Fire, Ray. Oh, that's knockoff as it gets. Okay.
Eddie
That's Chariots of Flame. Yeah. So I was at the grocery store, and of course, you know, I broke my arm. Dude, here I am with one arm, and I've got. Probably have 20 items in the cart, but I go do self checkout. And she saw me just do one onion at a time. And then I had a bag of dog food underneath. I got it with one arm, scanned it. I didn't use a little handle scan. I went up to the little checker thing, the table, scanned it. Dude, I did 20 groceries on my own. And then I got to my. My beer. Then I need an ID check for that. She comes over. She's like, I was wondering when you're going to get that beer. And I was like, I usually wait till the very end. She's like, you're doing great for doing all this with one arm. I said, thank you. Because I said. I told her, you don't know how tough it is with one arm. Just trying to do things around the world. She said, no, no. I sat here and watched you, and you looked like you just had it all under control with one arm.
Bobby Bones
All right, that's.
Amy
Stupid story. Around the world. You haven't left Nashville.
Bobby Bones
No, yeah, it's a stupid story.
Amy
I mean, I got it.
Eddie
She was so proud of me. She said it, like three times. She's like, you just did a really good job. She's older maybe, but probably in her 70s.
Amy
She was wondering when you were gonna get the beer, so she'd come over and ID you.
Bobby Bones
Another thing I want to mention here is Raymondo. Would you play that song as we're quiet. Because this is a. There are certain things we can't play because of rights, but we can find knockoff music that we can play. And I feel like that was just fake enough to be funny. So would you turn it up? This is Chariots of Fire, but a knockoff version. It's like someone doesn't quite know how to play it, and they're playing. I think it's this. Yeah. Dude, that's terrible.
Eddie
And that's legal, huh? Because they go, not the two.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Turn that up again. That's funny, because I. That is what is Chariots of Fire. Yeah. And then if you're talking over what goes, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Okay. Another one.
Eddie
Seen that movie?
Bobby Bones
No, I know the song. Ray, you have to help me with this. I know exactly what it is, but I'm going to be ignorant about this. And it makes me feel guilty that I did not know that your dad played in the major leagues. Did anybody know this?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay, lunchbox. Before Ray says anything, you go ahead.
Lunchbox
He played for the Oakland A's.
Bobby Bones
In the major leagues?
Lunchbox
Well, no, minor leagues, but he played professional baseball.
Bobby Bones
Okay, different. Because I said major leagues. Professional baseball. Can be.
Eddie
But he said, oakland A's. That's a MLB team.
Bobby Bones
Ray. What? So, okay, some listeners found Ray's dad's baseball cards.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So, Ray, would you take it from here?
Ray
Yeah. So my dad played with the Oakland A's. And one of our listeners, listener Joe in Sarasota, he went onto this auction house. I think it was a form of ebay, where you can look for old pictures of players that played in the major league. So he was kind of looking for Mark McGuire, Jose Canseco. And then I had brought it up before on our Sore Losers podcast. And my dad played for the Oakland A's. So he was just thinking in the back of his head, well, if I'm already here, why don't I look for Slater and a guy that looks like Ray? I guess. And so I don't.
Bobby Bones
I don't interrupt. I don't want to forget this question. If you play for the Oakland A's, that's the major league team. So did your dad play for the major league? Because the minor league team would be like the Sarasota Jumble A's or that. So where did your dad play?
Ray
Yes. You signed a Major League baseball contract, and you do spring training with the Oakland A's.
Bobby Bones
So he played spring ball with the A's. He got called up there. Okay. Yeah, I'm just. I just. I didn't know this. Go ahead. Yeah.
Ray
And all his stats, you can look them up online. It's minor league teams. It's single A and double A.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome. Still. Yeah, but that a listener even knew.
Ray
To look so random. And the reason it's so special is there's only two pictures I've ever seen in my dad playing for the Oakland A's. They didn't take a lot of pictures back then. And so he gets onto this auction house, actually finds a Dave Slater, buys it for what, a couple cents? I have no idea what the guy was selling it for. And then brings it to Nashville and presents it to me and says, is this your dad? You had said he played for the Oakland A's. Is this him? And I said, yes, that's a picture of my dad.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome.
Ray
I know.
Eddie
Really cool.
Ray
And it was a. From 52 years ago.
Bobby Bones
Your dad's still alive?
Ray
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Does he. Does he have pictures like this? Did you think it was cool? You have it? Does he value this?
Ray
Well, so the funny thing is, there was never in our house a picture of him playing for the Oakland A's. The only time I Ever saw one is when we went to our grandparents and I, we were like, dad, why is there a picture of you in Oakland A's uniform? He said, oh, that's when I played for him. I mean, he never talked about it. He'd moved on to his career in the forest industry. Never really?
Bobby Bones
Really? Even when you played baseball? Because you played baseball in college.
Ray
Well, sure, it was a talking point, like if he was coaching a player. But listen. Listen to me. I used to play in the majors, kid. Okay? Listen to what I'm saying. But, I mean, it's not like he bragged about it and put the pictures front and center. So the fact that this picture existed and I'd never seen it, but then my sister was able to give it to him, and, yeah, he thought it was really, really special.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome. That's awesome that a listener would do that. He found it, brought it to you. Now you have it. That's going to be super special forever. Yep, man. If he signs it, I'll buy it. I put in my memorabilia collection. No, that's super cool. So Joe in Sarasota. Is that what he said?
Ray
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Joe in Sarasota. That's something that Ray and his family will love for years to come. So that's cool. Also, if I played in the majors, even spring training, it'd be a tattoo on my neck.
Eddie
Pictures everywhere.
Bobby Bones
Everywhere, everywhere. I mean, it would be every. February is America's 11th favorite month. I was thinking about this, my work, okay? So if I were to do favorite months, like, probably like April, not because it's my birthday. I don't even like my birthday. But I think April, and that may not summer, but not cold spring because there's winter and then there's early cold spring where it kind of bounces back and forth. So on my list, I'm gonna go April and May at 1, May at 2. Now, I also like September for the same reason, because it's like, it's fall, but it's not cold fall and it's not hot fall. So I'm gonna put September at 3, because that's medium fall.
Eddie
So far, yours is all about the weather.
Bobby Bones
What else is there?
Eddie
The events happening.
Bobby Bones
I don't give a crap. Oh, you put that event anywhere. I don't care.
Eddie
Really.
Bobby Bones
What do you want from me?
Eddie
Like, some people like Christmas times, they like December.
Bobby Bones
Take it or leave it. I'll be honest with you. Okay, so so far, I'm at three. So January, February, March. I'm gonna put March at four because we still. That. That's a little bit of cold spring, but you really start to feel good around March, April, May. I like the summer, and I'm gonna have to go summer over winter. Just in general. I hate the winter. So March, April, May. I'm gonna go with June at 5. July, July and August are tough.
Eddie
It's pretty hot now.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna like them more than I'm gonna like the cold. So July and August. I'm gonna go October at 6 because although it starts to get a little chilly, October, you can have some fine days playing pickleball outside and some golf. October can be solid. January sucks. December sucks. November, Thanksgiving, terrible. But I think I'm gonna go with July over. November and August, July, August, over, over. So I have eight down. So I have November, December, January, February. I mean, I hate winter, as you can tell. Yeah, gonna go November at 9. December, January, February. What's the. I mean, I feel like December is not as cold as January or February. Am I right on that? Or am I just out of my mind?
Amy
It can. Yeah, January can get. Be colder where we live like this.
Bobby Bones
Like, December is not even. I mean, it is cold sometimes, but. Okay, so I want to go December at 10. I'm putting 2-12-12. Gosh.
Amy
But man, this week the weather is amazing.
Bobby Bones
It is. It is pretty good. Okay. Okay, so here's my list. April, May, September, March, June, October, July, August, November, December, January, February 12th. So February is America's 11th favorite. It's my 12th favorite. Kind of sucks. What else? What is there to do in February?
Eddie
Super bowl, that Valentine's Day?
Amy
It's a shorter month.
Bobby Bones
Nah.
Eddie
Yeah, that's about it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I don't hate that list. Sometimes I think these lists are just made for clicks. And that one, that's what I. That's what I feel about that one. Oh, let's take a break. Ray, can we take a mid roll break here?
Ray
Yep.

Bobby Bones
Last Saturday night, 4Dads intervened to stop a gunman who opened fire at a high school band competition.
Eddie
Nice.
Bobby Bones
In Pasadena, Texas, injuring a man in his mid-20s. A suspect, an 83 year old man.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Who claimed he was acting out of fear, was disarmed and restrained by the group until police arrived. The men, who all have military or law enforcement backgrounds, have been praised by the community for their quick actions, though they insist they were just reacting to the situation. That's from USA Today. If the guy's 83, he must have been having some sort of like, old man mental breakdown. Right.
Amy
But reacted out of fear of like.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Amy
Like what?
Eddie
And a little easier to take down, huh?
Amy
Oh, yeah, but you gotta be careful.
Bobby Bones
He's got a gun.
Amy
Out.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Eddie
Oh, who cares if he breaks a bone? He's got a gun.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hips gone. I'm tackling him. Hips gone. Luckily nobody died. I wonder what's going on with that guy. 83 years old. If he was like, he's paranoid for some reason. Again, unfair. Not all 83 olds the same, but some sort of dementia.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
If he's got a gun and he's up at A band and congratulation, congrats to everybody for it. Not happening. It's a weird thing to congratulate, but those guys, that's awesome. They stepped in to do that. An influencer said she was scammed at a $5,000 trying to buy Morgan Wallen tickets. Yeah, it's tough because there are a lot of places that are offering and ticket buying places if you don't really get even. If you go, I'm going to give a couple sites here. I'm not, as they say, in bed with any site. I'm not with Ticketmaster. I'm not with any seat, any app. Right. We have no sponsorships right now. So what will happen? I'll say we use Ticketmaster, for example, who does a lot of the tickets for my shows. And not all, but some. You can buy tickets, I think million dollar show. It was through Ticketmaster you can buy, but now Ticketmaster allows people to buy them and then to resell them on the same site as like, I forget the word resell tickets. And people can sell them for four, five, six times. It's like the legal way to scout tickets. And it's a different color and you realize you're buying tickets that have already been bought.
Eddie
Exchange or something I think it's called.
Bobby Bones
But because this culture now exists where you can buy resell tickets, it's easier to trick people into buying resale tickets. Because if there were no ways to legally buy resale tickets, everything would feel shady. Buying resale tickets. But because it is so prevalent, I can see where easily you could fall for something on Facebook. And that's mostly where people are getting got is Facebook. People believe any crap on Facebook.
Eddie
There's someone in our office that paid $900 for Kelsey Ballerina tickets the other day.
Amy
Someone in our office.
Eddie
In our office.
Bobby Bones
Did they go to the show?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so no scam?
Eddie
No scam. But 900 tickets for especially, like at a radio station where we kind of get tickets all the time. Like, that's a lot of money.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't know.
Eddie
I don't know how much Kelsey tickets go for, but I feel like that's not the retail value.
Amy
How many did they buy? 9.
Eddie
Just one.
Bobby Bones
100.
Eddie
It was just one.
Bobby Bones
One ticket. Wasn't even a pair.
Eddie
Yeah, I think it was in the pit. So I guess it's like right up on stage. But for Amy, it's $1,000.
Amy
I'm saying, like, fun. Is this person a die hard Kelsey fan?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Eddie
Priority one is that we call P1.
Amy
Nobody hook this person up.
Bobby Bones
It's like 300 max. Mike is saying for everywhere. Huh?
Amy
Yeah. Eddie, did you get got?
Eddie
No, she told.
Amy
Scammed by the story.
Eddie
She told me that she's like, I'm a huge Kelsey fan. I just got tickets to her show and I got it for 900 bucks. It's a lot of money, but it was worth it.
Bobby Bones
Macy Blackwell's person's name, not Eddie's, but this one. In the story, she tried to buy tickets to Morgan Wallen's show. She posted a video explaining that she joined a ticket resale group on Facebook and she thought the group was all above board. And she agreed to purchase the tickets for 2,500 a piece. She paid. Hours passed. No tickets showed up. And when they did, there were multiple typos. Oh, they also asked for 500 bucks in fees. And she goes, that's when I knew I got got the fees happen. But in a resale group on Facebook, that's probably just people that are there selling tickets. I just wouldn't trust it unless it were buying it from a resale site. Even though the resale they get you, the fees get people like crazy. Just in general, I feel terrible. She's wanted to go watch Morgan Wallen. Now she's out five grand. Ewan McGregor got a restraining order against a woman who was threatening his family. It's a numbers game. Like, if you get famous, let's say you're standing on the ground, and on the ground you're standing on a pedestal, but the pedestal hasn't lifted off the ground at all, but you're just standing on it, this circular pedestal. And the people that can see you are the people that are standing right around you. Answer, 14 people standing around you. Odds are none of them are going to be crazy. Maybe you get one that's kind of crazy. Maybe you get one that just needs to be medicated. That pedestal goes up 10ft. Well, now 63 people can see you probably got a crazy one here, but maybe they're not obsessed with you got a couple people here. Imagine going 500ft in the air and everybody now that you can see and they can see you, that's what it's like to get famous. It's a numbers game. So when you have 10,000 people, just the sheer numbers alone of the 10,000 people that now love your work and love you, you're going to get some crazies. And when you get really famous, that pedestal is really higher. And it is just a numbers game that a Crazy person is going to try to get to you and threaten you or your family. And it's not even they hate you. Mostly it's because they love you.
Eddie
They want to get closer to you.
Bobby Bones
And it's like if they can't have you, nobody can. Or you don't even know you're in love with them. And they know and you will be in love with them if they meet you. That's when it gets scary. It's not even the angry ones. It's the ones that are so in love that they'll do anything because you have no idea how much they love you. And that you will love them back because you're perfect for each other.
Eddie
Makes sense to them. Sounds crazy.
Bobby Bones
Makes sense to me when I say it like that.
Eddie
I saw him in Vegas at the airport, the taxi line.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know him really. In a movie I'd be like, oh. But I don't think. Because he's kind of generic white guy, right?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. But I mean, I stared at him for a little bit and like, boy.
Bobby Bones
And you thought, if he, you know.
Eddie
If no one can't have him, no one will.
Bobby Bones
America's perfect day includes three hours of TV and a 42 minute nap.
Amy
What?
Eddie
That's lunchbox longer than that.
Lunchbox
I need a longer nap than 42 minutes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I was thinking for a perfect day, I think you need a longer one. Yeah, I mean, I would love that too. That does. That does feel pretty good. A poll on what America's perfect day would look like found that you'd sleep for seven hours. Oh, my perfect day would be sleep for 11 hours. My body can sleep if I sleep. And I don't sleep very well because I'm always. I gotta wake up early, got work. But if it's like on vacation, I can sleep for 12 hours.
Amy
Doesn't your back start to hurt?
Bobby Bones
Sometimes I wake up so, like out of it because I've slept so long that it feels like I'm almost out of it because I haven't slept at all. It's like I go full circle. But no, and I don't even sleep that long because I'm like, I'm lacking sleep. I just naturally could sleep 11 hours. That could be my normal night's sleep. I think Einstein slept 1112 hours a night. Oh, and I don't. There's a, you know, people. The parallel can be an Einstein, same person everywhere. That's a lot of tv.
Eddie
You're right though, Amy. Your back does start to Hurt?
Amy
Yeah, I can't.
Bobby Bones
Really. Yeah, but if you sleep.
Amy
I lay too long. It doesn't matter if I'm in my bed for too long. I'm talking like past the eight or nine hours. Then I just this. I think it's an age thing because, I mean, I have. I have a great bed.
Bobby Bones
So of sleeping. You hit an age where it hurt to sleep.
Amy
I hit an age where my back just starts to bother me if I lay too long.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I get that. I think I sleep so fetally.
Eddie
Fetally, like on your side in a fetal position?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I sleep so fetally that. Or I go with both arms above my head when I sleep at night.
Eddie
That's weird.
Bobby Bones
And they're so drastically different that I think that keeps my back from being in the same place where if I was like a normal sleeper and just could like Lunchbox can just lay somewhere.
Eddie
On a plane, in a car.
Bobby Bones
We went to a bed store once and had him go to like, I want to test out the bed. He just went to sleep is the bit. And he just slept and never moved.
Lunchbox
It's amazing, man. I'll tell you what. I don't know. I feel so bad when people talk about they can't fall asleep. They have trouble sleeping. I just don't even understand it. I can lay on the concrete, fall asleep, doesn't matter.
Eddie
Do you tell yourself the Lunchbox? Like, I am falling asleep now.
Lunchbox
I just close my eyes and I'm asleep.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. Listen to this one. It's a bad prank. Two teenagers in Texas were arrested after allegedly approaching a pair of elementary school teaching children asking, hey, do you guys want to be kidnapped? As part of a viral TikTok prank.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Two teenagers in Texas were arrested. The thing is, it's hard. This is terrible. But Lunchbox and I did a prank once and he got put in jail for it. So I can't like be Mr. I can be. I've also done stupid things. This is stupid. I want to be that guy. I don't want to be like you idiots. I also have been a young idiot. But yes, this is bad. Two teenagers in Texas were arrested after allegedly approaching a pair of elementary school children asking if they wanted to be kidnapped as part of a TikTok prank. 19 and 18 years old, both residents of Kyle, Texas were arrested on charges of terroristic threats. Hey, so was Lunchbox. The pair allegedly asked a seven and a nine year old walking home from school if they wanted to be kidnapped.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
The creepy comments spooked the kids who quickly contacted their parents. The parents then contacted the police department. They both tried to defend themselves, saying they were acting out a TikTok prank. New York Post. I can tell you from experience if the prank could possibly endanger somebody else, it could go so much worse than as great as it could go on the other side.
Eddie
It's not worth it.
Bobby Bones
It's not the bad. The floor and ceiling are so far apart. It can go so bad, but it can only go pretty good. It's not like they're gonna be wildly famous from that prank, but they can go to jail. It ain't worth the risk. Again, take it from people who had that happen to them because we were stupid. But it's not as bad as actually getting kidnapped. So you gotta look at, like, math.
Eddie
Is better than that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Have you seen the prank on TikTok where people. They FaceTime someone? Like, it's usually like a daughter FaceTiming their parents. And there's a video of just like a foreigner, like a man from another country trying to figure out the phone.
Bobby Bones
No.
Eddie
And dude, they put that video on as they FaceTime their parents. And you see the parents go like, hey, hey, who are you?
Bobby Bones
Like, from their kid's phone.
Eddie
This is my daughter's phone. Who are. And they call the husband, like, Jim. Somebody has so and so's phone. And the guy just looks. Stares at it. Looks like he's trying to figure out what's going on.
Bobby Bones
So is it a video they're playing through?
Eddie
It's basically just like you play it on your computer and you zoom in on the computer. Zoom in on the computer. It's terrible.
Bobby Bones
That's funny.
Eddie
And the parents just freak out because they think somebody has their daughter.
Bobby Bones
Funny.
Amy
Oh, my.
Bobby Bones
Dubbed the most chaotic flight ever, Cabin crew members were forced to duct tape a petulant airplane passenger to a seat, which I always think is funny. They don't have to land the plane. I want to be on one of those.
Eddie
Duct tape.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If they have to take it down because somebody's out of control, I'm pissed. I don't want that. We're all trying to get somewhere. And also. What? You're not gonna crash, but if you got a duct tape somebody. That's hilarious. I do a selfie. I do this.
Eddie
I tried to do something with the guy.
Bobby Bones
I try to sneak by and do a selfie.
Eddie
What's he gonna do?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Don't take down. What are you gonna do? So they're doing this, but the guy wanted to propose anyway on the flight because he proposed anyway while they were duct taping the person in the seat. That's kind of funny. I think I probably wait on that one though.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
She said yes. They finally landed. About 20 cops awaiting outside the plane. A New York City karaoke goer bashes another singer over the head in a fight for a microphone. A female karaoke singer bashed a man over the head with a metal pitcher at first in a queen's fight over a microphone. This just reminds me because this is like a bar fight and there's karaoke involved. So it makes it funny. This is from the New York poster. The story of Lunchbox going to the bar for the first time ever in his whole life and what he saw there. Man.
Lunchbox
It was at Bob Popular's on 6th street and they had one room where they had a couple pool tables and a brawl broke out. People are breaking pool cues over each other's backs. People are running from the other room and just diving in the fracas. And I'm like, what? What in the world? This is what going out is all about.
Bobby Bones
It was amazing. First time ever in a bar and he sees this and frakis. How about that?
Lunchbox
Isn't that a word?
Eddie
I don't know what that means.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
What is fracas?
Bobby Bones
I would say like uncontrolled situation. I don't know if that's exactly how you say it, but I don't know what he was trying to say. I don't think I've ever tried to use that word.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but I mean, it was the greatest night. I mean I was just like, I'm going to go out every night. I'm gonna have to go out every night if this is what happens.
Bobby Bones
Fracas, a noisy disturbance or coral and.
Eddie
It'S F R A C A s. Interesting. Never heard of that word.
Bobby Bones
I appreciate him sliding that in there.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But the first time he ever goes to a bar he sees a television esque cliche bar fight. That's what I would think every time would be like.
Eddie
That's what bars are like.
Bobby Bones
I would be disappointed every time. Went to a bar and it didn't happen.
Lunchbox
And the pool tables, I didn't realize this either. They had breakaway legs. So like when that does happen, they don't break. For real. Like it breaks. But then they were able to put the pool table back together.
Eddie
Wait, were you on a movie set? No breakaway legs on the pool table.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Was Burt Reynolds there? Huh. There's a time traveler issuing more warnings about 2025. The radiant time traveler is back. Claims to be from 2671, March 30, a one mile ride, one mile wide asteroid hits Central America, leaving a massive crater later named Goliath. If that happens though, it's going to affect so much more than just that.
Eddie
What year is that?
Bobby Bones
That's this year. March 30th.
Arturo Castro
Oh.
Eddie
Oh, it's supposed to happen.
Bobby Bones
April 20th. Many of the world's largest volcanoes will simultaneously erupt, causing the sky to turn a bright pink color. July 7th through 13th will be heat week as the average temperature across the United states will be 114 degrees Fahrenheit height. And September 21, the first ever Category 6 hurricane will target Florida and Georgia. Karen will have sustained winds of 400 miles an hour. And that's the thing that he is from the future. That's been proven.
Eddie
So he survived all that. So then the, the first one that's supposed to be really bad.
Bobby Bones
No, he's from way beyond that. He knows about it in history.
Eddie
Oh, they recreated it and.
Bobby Bones
No, no, recreate it.
Eddie
No, you recreate life because after that, like, that's bad. What was the first one? Meteor.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, in South America.
Eddie
That's bad.
Bobby Bones
Tom Green is on the Bobby cast, which is super exciting. Tom Green is massive to me. Like one of the most famous people for about five years of my life. And he had a TV show on MTV and he was doing all this outrageous stuff and I was asking him about. He had never pitched a TV show before. He did like Canadian Public Access Forever, you know. And I was like, well, how did you pitch the show? And this is him talking about going to New York and pitching the show to mtv.
I
I had a couple of cans of shaving cream and I just, for whatever reason decided after I do that I'm, you know, while everyone's freaking out about the cow udder sucking, I'm going to lie down on the boardroom table in front everyone, spray shaving cream all over my face and scream that I want to be on mtv. So I did that, took the shaving cream and I walked up to the guy who looked like he was in charge and I put some on his face and then I just walked out. That was Brian Graden. And then I just walked out of the room and the guy who'd been kind of coaching me to do the, to do the pitch, you know, called me and was laughing and said, you put shaving cream on my boss's face. But they called the next day and they picked up the show the next day.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, A crazy thing too was they Said don't do the calendar thing in the pitch because he would lay his head under the calendar and squeeze into his mouth and drink it. And they were like, you're doing stuff that's, like, crazy and cutting edge. That's too much. And he did it anyway. And then he took shaven cream and just went to the sea all over his head. Check it out on the Bobby cast. Search for the Bobby cast on iHeartRadio. I believe that is gonna be it. We have to go because we have to start our day here in Alabama. We're gonna go again.
