These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in a notorious prison

Listen to Disgraceland on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everybody, welcome to the show. We're going to talk about being at a concert
Starting point is 00:02:40 and seeing the artist sick. That'll be in just a second. I want to start first with Eddie and talk about Is there anything you wish you knew more about And you probably could if you just invested the time in it Because with me it's cars Oh yeah Know nothing about cars
Starting point is 00:02:53 This happened to me recently where We work near a construction area And it's the second time I got a nail on a tire And so I went in And it was a nail on the back tire And they said well your tires have been rubbed I guess just through driving it enough that we can't replace one without the other.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Interesting. Because it had been off. Now, I googled it. It's true. It is true, yeah. It's true. So I had to buy two new tires, which sucked for me because the tires on my SUV are expensive. Also, what I didn't know about my car is those tires are only made to go 8,000 miles or so because they're performance tires.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Oh, wow. It's just no crying on the yacht. So I'd like to say that. That is a yacht. No crying on the yacht. I had no idea. And so they were like, you have to replace these coming up anyway. And so I Googled that and thank God.
Starting point is 00:03:47 But it said the tires on my SUV should go between 5,000 and 15,000 miles before you have to change them. That's not a very long life. You're right. They are kind of thin. And they're big and grippy. I walked by them the other day, actually, and I was like, oh my gosh, Bobby has a flat tire. But you didn't. It was just, they're small little tires.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Those tires feel like my bulldog. Limited life. Awesome. Made to have a limited life. I'm sad when they go. So when you say you want to learn more about cars, is it because you don't want to get taken advantage of when you go to the auto shop? Partially.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And I never actually go to the auto shop. I go to the dealership. Yeah. Yeah, that's smart. And I feel like a little bit they will treasure the relationship because they know I might buy another one. But they tell me something. And I don't Google it in front of their face, but I'm like, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Like, I, yeah, duh. Well, what's also good about that is that they have. have things that they need to follow. So like if you go to a certain company's dealership, right, like a company that makes the certain car, they have a policy where like they can't just wing it. Like there's a protocol of like if this is what's wrong with it. It's how you fix it. So the dealership is P1 if you're going to go get your car fixed. I trust everything automatically because I know nothing about it. And I don't like that. I wish I knew more about cars with the tires. How much are regular tires? It depends. I mean, I would say,
Starting point is 00:05:10 something like yours? No, no. I'm just asking Regular tires? If you were going to go buy tires for your Jeep, what would they cost for one tire? I would just say on average about $100 a pop. These are way more, aren't they? Oh my God. I mean, my Jeep, like, I got big tires, like that with big grips on it.
Starting point is 00:05:30 How much? Oh, my God. How much are yours? Oh, my goodness. I can't believe that's the answer. Is $100 a middle of the line? Middle of line. You can go like 200. But that's a lot. That's a lot. I think the ones on my Jeep now I bought for like $1.25 each. Each.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Each tire. I don't even want to tell you. I'm embarrassed now. Did you think they got you? No, I think that's probably the actual price for that tire. But because I don't know anything about cars, I just said, yeah, of course, that's the price. So, okay, each tire was $1,200. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yeah. Do we know let's go back. I'm going to be your dad right now. Let's go back to the dealership. Like, what did you do to him? Do you think part of the reason I don't know any of this is because I didn't have a dad? Probably. So my dad just cost me $2,400. He left me and not only to have all this trauma from growing up, not having a dad, but it just costs me another $2,400. But to be fair, I don't think, like, because I had a dad and he taught me a lot of stuff. I don't think he would have ever knew that that's how much those tires would be. Because they do honestly. But they could offer probably like a mid, a non-performance, right? Because. listen, I worked in a restaurant and we would try the special of the night is something either you wanted to get rid of or something that was really expensive. One of the two things. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I can't believe that. I can't believe that. I wonder if you took your car to like a discount tires. Bob's tire shop. I wonder if they'd be like, what do we put on this car? You want to know a funny story similar to that. And again, no crying on the yacht.
Starting point is 00:07:05 I say that all the time because I'm just telling you stories. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. this is not a feel sorry for a story but I when I started making my own money and doing taxes I would just go to H&R Block or wherever A Walmart Yeah or a standalone in the strip mall
Starting point is 00:07:19 And I would just show up And I would say here's my Couple of W2s and here's And here's this And there was a point where I went in When I started to have success But I didn't have anybody to teach me about money And I went in and they looked at me like
Starting point is 00:07:32 Are you serious? And I'm going What do you mean? This is real Like it's not they're like, we don't, we can't do that here. Because it was different. It was too much money for that type of situation.
Starting point is 00:07:45 That's hilarious. It felt, that was my first weird, oh, I think I'm making a lot of money. Yeah. Because a lot of money to me was any money at first that wasn't me living paycheck to paycheck. So everything after, I didn't have to worry about it every week, kind of just felt the same. Because I wasn't buying anything really and there was just money going into a bank. And I was scared of death of losing it. But I remember going to an age in our block and them just going.
Starting point is 00:08:07 We can't. What do you? What? Was it because you had too many forms or because the number was just too? It was a few forms and it was a lot. How do they work? Do they take a percentage of? No, you pay H&R Block by. I just say H&R Block. It was one of those companies. That's what comes to mind. Maybe I saw a commercial for it recently. They, they, you pay them like per session hour. Okay. So like what your visit costs this much? I could be wrong, man. I don't know. That was probably a long time ago. It was. You've been pretty good for a while. I have. I have. And that's why I don't want sympathy. But it's those weird stories where I, but with the tires, I think they just saw this guy will spend money.
Starting point is 00:08:46 That's crazy. And it spent $1,200 a tire. When you went in there. Which, to where? To the tire, to the dealership. And they told you that's how much it was going to be. Did you argue it at all? Or did you like, hold on.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Give me a second. Let me sit down. That's why I say I wish I knew more about cars because there was a sensor. It all started with a sensor. Always the sensor. And it said something like, really. rear tire low. So I went and put air in the tire because that's what you do. And I know how to put air in a tire and check the PSI and all of that. You know it's written on the tire. I know everything. So it's fixed. Stupid thing still going off. I just put air in it. And it told me on my little dash that all of them were at 40. 40 PSI, I believe is what they all are. Rear tire. Off.
Starting point is 00:09:37 38, 37, I must have a leak then. So I go and that's when they give me the whole, their whole rigamaroo. Yeah. Where they go, we have to do both tires because one, they're worn and you can't put one on that's different wear than the other because it'll mess up your alignment. Now that is true. Okay, but I don't know that it's true. And I start, that's when I'm Googling stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:09:57 In front of them? No. Got to go to the bathroom. You just sit in the stall. Yeah. So, but they were telling me the truth. And everything that I kept Googling was things that would be consistent with what Google or chatGBT was telling me. And but then when they did the tires, I was believing them.
Starting point is 00:10:15 They told me the truth three times in a row. And they said, hey, these are the performance tires you need. Here's the bill. It ended up being with taxes like 25, 50 or something like that. And I just remember thinking, man, that's a lot for tires, huh? Oh my gosh. I just, I was like, inflation. Thanks, Joe Biden or whatever, you know, whatever you say.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah, that's what they say. Yeah. But then once I got home and I told Caitlin, she was like, I don't think tires cost that much. Dude, that is so funny. that's what happens to me too. I go home and I'm like, man, I've just paid $400 for groceries. She's like, what? You did what?
Starting point is 00:10:42 I'm like, is that not normal? Yeah. So that's what happened with you. So I wish I knew more about cars, but I'm not going to invest the time in it now. I'm going to learn through messing up. I just have too many other things now that I'm focused on learning. What do you wish that you had learned more about growing up that would have helped you today? That would have helped me today.
Starting point is 00:11:02 See, I was thinking more of like, eventually I want to sail. Like a boat, a boat, got it. I want to sail. Like that is going to be, man, the older you get, you just start thinking about like, my life, I only have a few more, you know, my days are counting, like where I got to do stuff. And I've always wanted to sail. And that's going to happen before I die. I'm going to sail.
Starting point is 00:11:25 But I don't know how to sail. Sailing too, if you're actually going to do it, is something that is physical. And so if you're going to wait until you're 70 to sail. What do you mean? I got to pull all the ropes and everything. If you're actually going to do the sailing, that is quite physical. Now, you can hire somebody to do it, but it doesn't feel like that's what you want to do. That's not what I want to do.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I want to sail. And like, every time I talk to my wife about retirement, I just tell her over and over, like, we're going to get a boat and we're going to live on the boat and we're going to sail wherever we. That's quite a jump from getting a boat to living on the boat. She doesn't mind that part, but she's like, we're going to have a captain, right? Because there's no way that. That costs a lot of money. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I'm like, no, no, no, I want to learn how to do it. That way, if we want to go to St. Thomas, I'm going to sail us to St. Thomas. So what are you going to do about that? Can you continue talking about doing it or actually do something? No, no, no. So, like there's a sail club here in town, you know, like a sailboat club. They put boats on the lake? Yeah, there's sailboats out there.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And I've thought about taking little classes and, you know, learning how to sail. What's keeping you from doing that, though? The time. Just the time. And really, like, to go to the lake, you only have two seasons here to do it, you know, summer and spring. Like, everything else is just too cold. You're just not prioritizing the time. No, but I feel like I have time because I'm not even close to retirement.
Starting point is 00:12:43 No, but that's age. You may be getting older, but your body's going to be able to do less. You don't really have more time because you're not going to retire. I feel like they sell electric pulley systems. You know, where you just hit the button, I need sail number two to go up. Until you're stuck out in the middle of the ocean. And sale number two is not going up and you have to do it yourself. I hope that you will invest a little time in your dream and go and at least take a class before the summer's over.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Yeah, I mean, it's almost over. You realize that summer is almost over. Here you can go to the end of September. Oh, with the heat, with the temperature. Yeah, yeah, I think I really would like to do it. Because, I mean, who do you know that sales? Nobody. It doesn't interest me, so I don't find people that are in that space.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I don't like water. When I go to the beach and I see a sailboat out there, like, this is so cool. cool. Like I was in Puerto Rico like a few weeks ago and I went snorkeling and I ended up right by this by the sailboat. And like I was like, oh, that's cool. Somebody abandoned a sailboat. Nope. There were people on it. And they're just hanging out. Just two people like a couple. Hanging out, having breakfast, drinking their coffee. Like where are they from? Where did they come from? And they sailed to Puerto Rico. That's so freaking cool. That's how I feel about driving my people that have really big houses. Like where do they come from? Who is that? What do they do?
Starting point is 00:14:04 How did they make their money? Like how did they make their money? It's like the guy in TikTok who goes up and talks to people who had really nice cars. Yes. What do you do to make that money? And they always laugh. You don't know who I am. That's a bucket list thing.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I hope you at least take a lesson this summer because you're going to continue to not do it. No, no, no. I'm going to do it because I know that it's one of those things where like before I die, I have to do this. Because I'd be so sad if I lived my whole life and I didn't, I never sailed because I've been wanting to sail since I was like a teenager. If we're bucket listing, so one of my bucket listings has always been to sing the seventh inning stretch at Wrigleyfield. I've got to the first pitch before. And usually you do them both.
Starting point is 00:14:44 If they have a package deal. A celebrity, I'm not much of one, but I do hit that line sometimes where they go, celebrity first pitch. And I did that at Wrigley Field. I got to take my stepdad, who was a massive Cubs fan, who made me a Cubs fan. That's so cool. So that was, that's why I'm a Cubs fan. I'm wearing a sweater today, and I'm thinking about the story. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:15:02 So Arkansas Keith, massive Cubs fan. He's got a Cubs tattoo on his arm. He does? Yeah. The bear? Or is it the C? It's the C. It's the C.
Starting point is 00:15:12 He's got a razor back on it as well. Like the two things. I love it. And so I would watch every game. I could go starting lineups from probably the 89 team all the way to probably like the mid-2000s, right? And so when I got to go through the first pitch, it was a big deal because Arkansas So he had never been to Wrigley Field. I'd been a couple times, but he had never been.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So I got to take him, take him on the field. I threw the first pitch. And it was a really cool experience for me to throw the first pitch, but to take him to somewhere he's never been that is, you know, we've kind of fake worshiped for a long time. Yeah. And was he able to get on the field with you? Yeah, he came down with me.
Starting point is 00:15:48 That's great. And it was the coolest thing ever for him and for me for different reasons. But I didn't get to sing the seventh inning stretch that day because there was a politician there or something that they wanted to do it. Fine. Always. But it was always, hey, one day, we'll get you in to do this. and I've tried basically every year.
Starting point is 00:16:04 You call? Yeah. Do you text? Is there an email? How do you get a hold of the Cubs? Cubs.com? Hey, that's how I got Jerry Jones and let us go hang out with the Cowboys. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I just emailed the Dallas Cowboy website. Yeah, that is a crazy story. So I've been reaching out to the Cubs for a long time and I don't really have relationships there and there's been a heavy turnover inside. And so I've tried every way possible and I've never gotten a yes. And so I called Ryan Hurd last week. because he threw one out. And he's done it.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And he's also from Michigan and is a Cubs fan and grew up around all that. And I don't like asking people for help. And I called Ryan Hurd. And I just said, it's been my dream to sing the seventh inning stretch.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Can you call somebody for me? And so he called and he said, hey, I just talked to them. Apparently, there's like 11 people calling in your honor right now. He goes, did you know that? I said, no.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I guess no one wants to tell me that they keep getting nose. He goes, okay. He said, I feel pretty good. He said, because I like know them a little bit. Okay. I feel like there's a decent chance you'll be able to do this.
Starting point is 00:17:04 He said, but they acted like, there's been like, you know, over 10 people calling him going, can Bobby sing? Really? Yeah. Have you been campaigning? I've not been calling, but I would imagine there's people that know me. Okay. No, I don't even campaign because you're not behind the 10 people.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Okay. That's good. Because that would be a bad look. If you were just, hey, Bob, will you call him? I'm doing fake voices. Hey, Reginald here. You know it would be fantastic to sing the seventh inning stretch. Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I say, I say. I say. Okay, that's good to know. You're not behind those. So I don't know if I'm going to get to do it. But how you talk about sailing, it's always been the dream. And just having Ryan Hurd call for me was hard for me to like swallow my pride and ask him. He's a songwriter artist.
Starting point is 00:17:49 And we've been friends for a long time. But it would be super cool if I got to do it. Do you? I told him I will come anytime. I will just say you'll drop what you're doing. And I'll go. Yeah. I feel like that's something that could totally happen with you.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Well, they let a lot of people do it. A lot of people. I mean, every game, every home game. What I think is, we're not on the air in Chicago, like our morning show. So there's no competitive reason for whoever their broadcast partner is in their company. There's no competitive reason to keep me off of there. But that could actually be in play company-wise. But I don't feel like that that should happen.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I understand competitive reason sometimes. But that could be it. But that's a bucket list dream that I'm. inching up on hopefully. But I don't campaign. I never talk about it publicly because it's embarrassing that I don't get to say yes. And like the eighth person voted off Love Island last week's done it twice. Right. You know, so that's the deal with that. That's embarrassing. It is, it is. But pretty cool though that people are like, hey, you know, Bobby's been wanting to do this. Yeah. But they keep saying no. I know. I know. It's never been a yes. But I said if it's tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:18:56 I will be there. Do you have it down? Do you know like, are you, do you start with a 1 and a 2? As a kid, I watched Harry Carrey do it 10 million times, which is why I want to do it. It's not just about singing that there. It's about watching Harry Carey do it over and over and over again. And then when he died, they would have big celebrities do it. And now, like I said, Love Island Jeremy. Sure, politicians.
Starting point is 00:19:17 They're letting a lot of people do it. Any Vedder does it every season. It's kind of cool because the clip always shows up when he does it. But his is cool, man. That's my sailing. I think that'll happen for you. That would be super cool. Me owning a boat and sailing? I don't know. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:19:32 You just learning how to sail. That's number one. You can't really talk about buying a boat and sailing it if you don't know how to sail. I'm thinking of selling the house and just buying the boat. Yeah, you got to learn how to drive it first. Hang tight. The Bobbycast will be right back.

Starting point is 00:23:30 I saw a story where John Bon Jovi cut the show. This is, I think it was Thursday night. He had a sinus infection and he had performed about 90 minutes or so. And he said, I can't do this anymore. And he said, we're just going to reschedule. So, sorry about that. And I think his voice was kind of sucking a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And he was trying to get through it. And it was at Madison Square Garden. It was their seventh night of their nine shows in a row. Dang. So not only is there a sinus infection, There's the constant every single night. Yes. Because if you're touring, well, in the country world,
Starting point is 00:24:02 you're mostly doing two, maybe three shows, and you're going back home. Even in the rock world, you're not doing seven nights in a row. No, they don't do that anymore. So he performed Living on a Prayer. That was his 14th song. Couldn't quite pull it off.
Starting point is 00:24:19 And said it was a sinus infection. So the question is, have you ever been to a concert and they were so noticeably sick? I saw Amos Lee. That's one that I think about a lot that you went to. You tell the story a lot. He could barely talk.
Starting point is 00:24:32 He could probably sing at 20% capacity. And it was that line where I was so excited for the show. And it was cool that the audience was picking up some slack and that he had band members singing. But that's only cool for a couple songs. You know, you kind of want to hear them sing the songs. Yeah. So for what it was, it was really great. And I also understand artists have to make their money.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And if they have to reschedule a show. they're not getting paid for the show they didn't finish and not only that they had to pay to get everybody there all their crew and then they got to redo it again so they're having to do double
Starting point is 00:25:07 It's a big loss Yeah So I understood why he did it But I watched Tim do that And I remember talking to Luke Brian Who Completely blew his voice sick Yeah that was recent
Starting point is 00:25:17 At Wrigley Field too I think It was a Chicago show And he had to redo that You ever been to a show And they're sick? No uh uh no I don't think I mean I've seen Bob Dylan and that's almost like, he might as well be sick.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't understand a word he was saying. Pat Monaghan was with him. Is Train opening up these shows maybe? Oh, I don't know, but that sounds awesome. That does sound awesome. And as of right now, because this is airing this weekend, as of right now, we're going to have Pat Monaghan on this show in a couple weeks. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I love Train. Yeah, do Train's awesome. Train was able to just keep moving with the styles of music that were happening in pop music, almost like Maroon 5ish. Exact comparison I was going to make. They were the original, more cool, more legitimate Maroon 5. Yeah. Now Maroon 5, Adam Levine can sing and they're a good band.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And they definitely shifted as they went. They came out harder to breathe. It was definitely like a rock song, pop song, and she will be loved. And they transitioned with the time. And they did some real straight pop songs. Train started kind of, not acoustic, but like the folk rock. It was alternative rock. I mean, it was Meet Virginia, right?
Starting point is 00:26:28 And then they just started going, I don't know, that's who it works. Whenever they would do like, play that song. And you're like, no, they're taking nursery rhymes. They're just making nursery rhymes sound good. Yes. I love train, so I hope that still works out. Have you ever heard Pat Monaghan sing Led Zeppelin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I think I saw it live at IHeart Festival in Vegas. Really? Dude, that is amazing. I've never seen Train play live. You must have been there. Probably, but I don't get to see many shows. You're right, because we're working a lot. We're doing interviews.
Starting point is 00:27:00 But I remember I stepped out right on time to see them sing that. And I was like blown away. But you talk about like the Pat Monaghan is an amazing singer. Like and you really don't notice it until you hear him sing something like Led Zeppelin or like something that's like, wow. I can't believe he's hidden those notes. Bon Jovi back to him, he like those older songs living on. a prayer are super hard to sing. And the fact that he's even at his age, and I don't know if he does the whole drop the key
Starting point is 00:27:31 down, he probably does a little bit. But I mean... Whoa, we're halfway there. Whoa. But I mean, dude, those are so high. If you try to sing those while they're playing now, it's hard. He had the issue, though, where he couldn't sing for a long time because of his voice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Where the Backstreet Boy has mental issues with his voice. Is that Brian? You ever see the documentary? Yeah, so sad. just can't sing and he's like what's what's happening here you can't figure it out and you go from like i can't sing anything i'm a that's what i do for a living to like oh i can't do it i think john bon jovi and you guys could look this up i think he had something medically wrong and he just had a surgery correct which fixed it correct and so now he's able to go out and sing again yeah but it's like one of
Starting point is 00:28:15 those things where when you didn't you don't plan for this stuff when you're writing and you're you know making music in the 80s but all of those songs are written for you to just let it all all out. And in that documentary, too, you see him back in the 80s. And after shows, he was like, I'm exhausted. Like, that was so hard to sing. I never saw the documentary. It's really good. It's sad because he's struggling. You watch it's, it's, it's, they build up this comeback tour, right? He's like, I'm ready. Got the surgery done. We're ready. And then his first, about the surgery? Yeah, it's about his comeback to being able to sing again. And then he plays his first show. And it's not what he expected it to be. And he's just like, I don't know if I can do
Starting point is 00:28:53 this tour. And then it's a slow buildup. You know, to... Does he get back to being able to sing it? He gets back. But he has to cancel some shows and he has to, like, work through it. And it's sad because he was so immortal in the 80s. His voice was just raw and awesome and powerful. It wasn't a worry.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And now you just, you know, flash forward to today and he's just struggling. It's kind of sad. I'm so older. I know. But people go to those shows expecting to see what they saw in the 80s. It's like when Guns and Roses tour. You know, they're like, where's the guns and roses? Like, guys, that was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I saw a video of slash, no, of Axel dancing like old Axel used to, but it's new Axel dancing like that. With the mic stand? Yeah, you know what? Okay. He's trying. Nobody looks the same. Them on stage are in the audience. At those shows, doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Ain't nobody looking like they used to. That's true. We have friends that are really great singers, and I've said in interviews before and asked the question, do you ever record so many songs that are so hard to sing? You think, I have to do all these live now. Yeah. Because it's different if you can nail it in a studio and everything's perfect. And you can nail it on stage, but you have to nail it on stage every night. Yeah. And if it ends up being a big single, but your song is so high that now your whole life for the rest of your life. You just got to let it rip. But that's why it's cool when we see
Starting point is 00:30:16 like Brooks and Dunn and Ronnie Dunn like hitting My Maria at the same key that he hit it back in the 90s. That's a rare one. Because he's in a He's in his 70s and can sing exactly the same way. Yeah. He can even do, I would say, like narcissistic runs. Yes. He can still do it. In a beautiful way.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Yep. Where he's like, all right, you guys ready for this? Because he sang at my wedding. And he did that there. And he's like, you're ready for this? And everybody's like, yeah. All right, here we go. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:30:47 That is so rare. It's so rare. Elton John. Oh, man. I remember we saw him and he would do a hold me. close a ton of dance. But he's also on his 70s. He had to bring it down a little bit. He had to bring it down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah. Because singing that high, I guess maybe just lose something in your voice. Dude, I mean, even, I'm 47 and I, it's hard for me to sing high. There's this story about human refrigerators. I don't understand. I know. Me either. That's why I brought it here. Because we're also going to get into the most likable celebrities in a second. Okay. But there's a Japanese company that has created refrigerators for humans that you climb in, sit on the seat, and you're not chopped up.
Starting point is 00:31:27 You're now meat. It's not that, no. And you enjoy blasted air cold to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Oh, that's nice. So it's, you've ever been in a cryo? I've never done that. Not quite cryo, because cryo's hard to be. And I've done that.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Cryo sounds like freezing cold. It is. Like a freezer. You have to put, I do, maybe everybody doesn't have to. You have to cover up, I cover up my lips and my nose because they can burn real easy. Really? And my nuts, my wiener. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:55 You don't want that to get hurt. And so other than that, it's really to limit and stop the inflammation. Because your body's so inflamed. You get into cryotherapy, that's what that is there for. That's why you would even take ice and put it on like an arm. Yeah, I was thinking like the boxers, they have that, you know, cold metal. So it's that just super intensified. Wow.
Starting point is 00:32:14 This is not quite cryo, but if you want to buy one of these, you can for $9,200. Or a set of tires. It's actually cheaper than tires. Yeah, it's called a Dohemian box. It's a personal cooling cabinet. It's a metallic container with a transparent glass door that's designed as a personal cooling space for humans. You climb in, you sit on the seat that's built in there. You can work from there.
Starting point is 00:32:40 And the air is directed at your head, neck, shoulders, and back. Kind of like the jets of a hot tub when you get in those. And just 10 minutes in it helps quickly reduce body temperature. You can't do 10 minutes in a cryo. I think I do one song. I would turn, yeah, and I have a song. No, I always do the same song. Because I need it to match time and it's a bulls-on parade.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Okay. What's that? Three-something? Yeah. About halfway through, you're freaking fighting through it. Come on. Come on it now. The microphone explodes.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Yeah, it hurts. Like, cryo hurts. But then you get out and it feels great. If you go five minutes, like say you listen to some Pink Floyd and you just fall asleep. You don't fall asleep in cryo. You don't. You don't. You can't. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:24 If you've never done it, we can go do it. I would love to try that. Yeah. It sounds like it, like, torturous, but I mean, you probably feel better when you get out. Yes, both are true. Okay. Does not feel great while in it. It's so cold.
Starting point is 00:33:36 And there's like ice blowing around you. And then when you get out, you feel a lot better. But you wear socks, too. Okay. Like any of your sensitives? Socks and then what do you have over here? What do you cover your junk? Well, some people don't wear under.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I mean, you get in some of this stuff naked. Just butt naked? Well, yeah. Aren't you scared like you're going to stick your butt's going to stick to the seat? You don't sit down in cryo. You stand up. Oh, you stand up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Yeah. Can you touch the walls? Because I feel like it's almost like the Christmas story. You stick to it? You stick to it. I don't think you touched the wall. Okay. So just.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yeah, no. Hold your junk. We'll do that because I'm going to have it. We're going to go do hot yoga. Yeah, that's bizarre. We're doing hot yoga and cryo, the two extreme opposites. But you've not done either one. I have not.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Hot yoga is going to be fun for you. I have done like what they call a, I don't know. Japanese bath or something where you go That's called happy ending Stop That's not what we talk about No it's not
Starting point is 00:34:26 This is not that show It was in Vegas Oh gosh It gets worse That where you go into like a hot tub For five minutes And then you go into an ice bath For five minutes
Starting point is 00:34:37 And you do that like twice And it's some good thing for your body And that was just brutal I hated it I hate ice baths Yeah they're terrible I hate cold plunges And I have friends that live by them
Starting point is 00:34:46 And we were on vacation once with some friends and my friend was like, we have a cold plunge here. Let's go and I bet you can't stay in for two minutes. I don't have an interest in cold plunging anyway, much less staying in something to set a record. And that's not a record, but like long. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:05 And so obviously I do it and I stay in it for two minutes. Did you do 201 just to be like, I understand the mental part of it where if you can do something that's hard in the morning and you feel like, whoo, that's good for you, I don't like losing that much time in the morning. And I don't like cold. I like cold weather.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I don't want to do a cold plunge. But on those, though, after a while, like, you kind of stop feeling anything, right? Nope, you don't. You don't? It just keeps hurting. It sucks. Wow. That doesn't sound fun at all.
Starting point is 00:35:30 No, it sucks. That's why you don't. On vacation, too. That's terrible. Exactly. And we got up early to do it. You know what, though? Back to this refrigerator.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I mean, in Arkansas, I'm sure you had some really hot summers. Really hot summers. But we also live by the dam and they release really, really, really cold water that would come out of like 40 degrees. That's cool. And we would go, how long can you stay in there? red. So it'd be really hot, but the dam generated water was unhealthily cold. So was that dare or was that just for fun to go in there? What else is there to do in Mountaine?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah, nothing. And also at the water line is where you would catch fish because they would be running from the water. So if we were going down to trout fish or whatever, especially if they were releasing trout, you just go to the water line. And there are a ton of fish there because they're all running from that extremely cold water. Interesting. And so when they would release the water, we'd go down there and be ready because you knew. That's some country stuff right there.
Starting point is 00:36:20 It was some country stuff for sure. Sometimes people will question me. Nah, not. And then I tell a story like that that I can't possibly make up. They're like, all right, we got you. We would chase the cold water line so we could catch fish from the dam. The Bobbycast. We'll be right back.

Starting point is 00:40:18 get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Bobbycast We have the most likable celebrities You have not seen the list I have not seen the list So I can't really take part in it the same way Who would you say is the most likable celebrity I would say the rock
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's probably up there The Rock did not make the top 10 Wow that's shocking I agree Here's what I think about The Rock I think he's Bill Belichicked a bit Angelina Jolid a bit He's been so
Starting point is 00:40:50 likable on every list for so long. He's dating a young girl. Not that. He's been at the top of these lists for so many years. Ah, yeah. The people don't want to vote for him anymore. He's the Chick-fil-A. Got you. Yeah. That makes sense. Because I do think he is really liked. And like, like, I think, and, like, stay out of trouble and pretty, I mean, I like him. Give me somebody else. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. Still viewed as one of Hollywood's nicest and most trustworthy stars. Yeah. here's the thing about Tom Hanks. Tell me.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Can anybody really be that awesome? Because he seems awesome. He's so overly awesome that I start to go, I don't believe it. And for no other reason that it just seems like he's so extremely nice, humble, warm, and generous. All those things. All those things. And because it's so constant and consistent, it makes me question if it's real. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:48 No, this is definitely a thing with all of these nice celebrities. Even The Rock, I'm just like, what's wrong with him? Let me see a search history. There's got to be something that he does. They have Tom Hanks at number three. Yeah, that's good. Although I did see a video one time that just threw it off for me when these reporters or these photographers or paparazzi or whatever were like bothering him and Rita.
Starting point is 00:42:11 And I think somebody touched Rita. And he's just like, get your hands off my wife. And it was like, and it wasn't bad. I mean, you should definitely protect your wife if something like that's happening, but I've never seen Tom Hanks do that. I kind of like them more. Because he blew up like that? Yeah, I think there's a time to blow up, and it's when somebody touches your wife or a kid or you're a wiener. What if they make fun of her bald head and they slap you in the face in front of the whole world?
Starting point is 00:42:35 That's interesting. You're putting a lot of things into the sentence that I don't, if they make fun of bald and they're like, what am I not getting about that question? Oh, Jayda. Because like that was shocking. I knew I was missing something there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you guys get that when he said it? Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:42:51 I knew it was something I wasn't catching. Yeah, that though, you're a celebrity and there being jokes told about other celebrities. That was on call for. Yeah. No, I just mean I'd never seen him blow up like that. Yeah. He didn't make the list, don't worry. I didn't think he made the list.
Starting point is 00:43:08 He might have, though, before that. For sure. I think he was one of the most beloved celebrities. Agreed. Do you think that made him not nice? Yeah, I think that made people not like him as much, yeah. I know it did. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And he started doing less professional work. He had to take a little break. Even of his own doing. Is that PR when they do that? Or is that the person saying, you know what? I just need some time to get better. A collective. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Sure. Because I'm sure PR is just like, hey, man, let's hide out for a little bit. But the difference is you're the boss of your own PR. Oh, you are? Yeah. People don't realize it. Like, I have a PR team. And they tell me to do something.
Starting point is 00:43:44 They don't boss me. I pay them. and I most of the time take their advice and especially I don't really use them for strategy of anything that I do because I have too many lanes happening but they will go hey this person wants you on their podcast or we'd like for you to be on this or will you do this interview will you and most of the time because they know I don't like to do a lot so come to me with ones that I really that you feel like I'm gonna like and I'm I'm either going to have fun doing it or it's I'm going to be able to get my message out to somebody new.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Or it's a friend, one of those three. And if it's not that, I'd rather not even be approached by it. So if they come to me, I really go, okay, they must see something in this that I don't, so I will take their advice and do it. But I'm the boss. So if his PR team said, we think you should stop, he can go, I'm going to hire a new PR team. So yeah, PR team is never the boss. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:37 The person is the boss. That's interesting. I pay them. That's kind of like when they say, oh, they're people, right? Like, oh, this is their people doing that. But you're kind of the boss is directing them. The main person is dictating who gets to be as people and then they make decisions. Like for an example, Taylor Swift, she'll do something nice for somebody.
Starting point is 00:44:59 She'll send flowers to someone or make a donation and people will go, well, that's our people. True. However, her people are a representation of her. Yeah. And she hires them. And if they do something good or bad, that's on her. So she can't have every tentacle. out doing everything,
Starting point is 00:45:17 but she has to hire really great people to represent her. So when someone says, that's her people, yeah, but you know who had
Starting point is 00:45:23 to hire her people? She did. Yeah. And that's her reputation either way. So she must have hired great people and that's a,
Starting point is 00:45:32 it's a checkmark to her. Mm-hmm. So when you have people, even like my, I have an agent, that's one of our people, and he only takes me on because he thinks
Starting point is 00:45:42 that I can make him money. Then we have a great relationship. But an agent doesn't take somebody on unless they believe that they can go out and get them jobs, which they then get 10% on. So it's a big deal when someone finally is able to get an agent because that means that agent believes in them enough that they're going to invest their time to try to get them jobs because there's only so much time to go around. Wow. And so if you get an agent, it's cool because they're out advocating for you, trying to get you jobs, doing your contracts, whatever. But they get 10%. but it's hard to get an agent
Starting point is 00:46:15 because if people like, I don't know, I don't think we can get her him enough jobs to really matter. They won't, but you're still the boss of the agent. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Like I changed agents three years ago. I was at CAA forever. Massive, probably the biggest that or WME. But I know anything about this, right? At first,
Starting point is 00:46:33 but the first time I ever went and talked to agents ever was probably 10 or so years ago, maybe a little more than that now. and I was just meeting with different agencies really not knowing what the difference was with an agent or manager or any of that. And I met an agent who was just starting
Starting point is 00:46:51 in her agenting career at CAA. Her name was Rachel Adler. And she was like, I'm fired up, I'm new, I'm young, let's go. And I'm like, I'm fired up, I'm new, I'm young, let's go. So that matched that we were kind of together in that process. And we were together for a decade. She got so big representing news people, like news
Starting point is 00:47:11 like anchors political news anything like DC Bureau like she was like the person but she was still my agent and I her and I are still awesome to this day but I said
Starting point is 00:47:23 you're not really able to represent me to the people that I'm needing representation to because you're killing it in a whole different area that you've grown in so I did the whole agent
Starting point is 00:47:33 tour again and met with other ones so I hired a different agent I'm in a different agency now but if I wanted to fire them I could because I'm the guy. They also can fire me.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Same thing with a manager. Like an agent doesn't really deal with you every day. It's more macro looking for the jobs, big jobs. We're going to put you here, going to do that. A manager is every day. It's all the little bitty things. And so same thing. I've had the same manager for 15 years at this point.
Starting point is 00:48:04 But those are my people. And if they do something good, that's on me. That's good. If they do something stupid in my name, that's on me. Yeah. That's on me. It's got to be pretty cool, though, to have like, you know what? Will you send Taylor some chocolates and they do it?
Starting point is 00:48:17 Like, I've never had anything like that in my life where if I need to send Bobby some chocolates, I'm, here I am at the grocery store. I'll buy that chocolate. But you're also not having to pay that either. Right. Because with me, I'm having to pay 10. All money. Okay. So, no crying on the yacht.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I'm not crying in the yacht. I'm just. That's the theme of this. I'm just explaining. Yes, and thank you for this. I don't feel, because I do sometimes roll my eyes at NBA players when they go, man, I made $50 million, but you don't even understand. We got half that taxed.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Everybody gets taxed. You want us to feel sorry for you? But then we got agent fees. I bet to them, though, when the number is so big and then the final number after taxes in agent fees. But isn't that everybody getting their first job? Yes, yes. Going, wait, we got to pay taxes?
Starting point is 00:49:04 Where's the rest of this paycheck? FICA? What heck is FICA? I still don't know what that is. So I just want you know, everybody, this is an explanation more than it is me going, whey. So agent, 10%. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:49:19 But for taxes, too. 10%. Manager, 15%. Oh, it's more? It's different. They're not the same person. And because they're doing it every day. Business manager, 5%.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Aye, yeah, yeah. And business manager is handling all money. I have to pay percentages to people. I have salaries, full people that I pay. It's all that. So you're talking. about. So at the end of the day, you're getting like $200. I barely can pay for those tires. It would have put it on credit. So you're talking 10 and 15, it's 25 and 5 is 30%. That's not even with
Starting point is 00:49:51 taxes. That's crazy. So 30%'s gone immediately. And then you got taxes. And the reason that you do that, though, because this is why you shouldn't feel sorry for anybody that gives you this speech, is that I wouldn't have an agent or a manager if I didn't feel like they were making me more money than I was putting into them if I didn't have them. Right. So is it weird to have to give 30% of everything to a collective unit? Absolutely. But let's say I didn't have any of that and I was having to do it all myself.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I don't know the people to make connections to in L.A. Or I don't know. So you wouldn't have as many jobs. You wouldn't have as... I have to go net gain is like 9% overall by hiring everybody and still making the money. But I still get frustrated all the time with it. Yeah. No, that's really good.
Starting point is 00:50:38 That's a good explanation because we don't know how that stuff works. I didn't know how that stuff worked. I was paying out everything myself. Like when we first started touring and I'm having to pay taxes in every state. Because they're all different. I went to H&R Block and I was like, hey, guys. At Walmart? I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:55 With the band with all of us? Yeah. We're the raging idiots. But you have to pay taxes in every state that you perform in. Yeah, that's crazy. So any check that we would get, first I got to pay the band. And I got to pay, and then you got to even pay like the merch people that night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:13 But then I got to pay taxes for every single show that we did that's in every single state. Dude, you know what was a shocker to me? But that's what my business manager does. Like make sure that I don't go to jail because I didn't pay taxes. Important. Yeah. Well, was a shocker to me when we toured was the writer, you know? R-I-D-E-R.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Yeah. I remember, you know, you'd be like, hey, what do you want? I'd be like, ooh, let's get some beer and let's get some, you know, like sandwiches. And then we'll get, like, fruit. and hey, why don't we just get chick flas, whatever. We were just going for it. And then you realize, like, hey, that's all coming out. It comes out of money.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I'm like, what? I didn't know it either for a while because, yeah, I want seven kinds of bars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought the theater was paying for it. Let's get Chick-fil-A catered. Yeah, before the show, after the show. And just leave some for tomorrow for whoever's next. And a bottle of whiskey.
Starting point is 00:52:00 I don't drink whiskey, but then you realize, yeah, that's coming out of the money. Yeah, that's a shocker to me. Yeah. Me too. Mm-hmm. That's why towards the end, We're just like nothing. Grapes.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Do you have any used water? Like recycled water only. We bring our own lunches. We're showing up with our own. It's okay. We're good. We got everything. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:52:25 We got full packs of baloney and mustard with rolling in. We're opening it up. The list here. Is Taylor on that list? She is. That's what I thought. Taylor's at number five. Polarizing to some, they say.
Starting point is 00:52:38 she's admired by millions. Can you find the source of this list, Mike? Because I must have thrown that page away. I do want to quote the source so I don't get sued. Yeah, that's smart. Your manager's not here to protect you from that one. Anybody else come to mine. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:52:54 What about like Garth Brooks? Didn't make the list. It's really hard to be country and universally loved because country music isn't universal. It's more popular now than ever. But there is one country person on it as I say that. Oh, there is? Keith Urban Bigger
Starting point is 00:53:13 bigger than Keith Irvin Not Morgan Wallin Bigger George Strait Bigger What the Willie Nelson Bigger
Starting point is 00:53:23 Dolly Parton Got it That's a good one That's a real good one Yes she's very likable And has been for generations And has been As pop culture

Starting point is 00:53:44 You can't tell the difference. Dolly's at two. Okay. Tom Hanks at three. Pedro Pascal at four. Really? I don't see him very much outside of the silver screen. I saw him at the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:53:56 He was dancing. Which one's silver? Don't they just call it? I think they just call it. Is that movie? Oh, okay. I think I see more on television. Pedro Pascal?
Starting point is 00:54:05 Maybe not. Because I watch the show It ends with The Last of Us The Last of Us He's on that Yeah, it's awesome I didn't watch that one
Starting point is 00:54:13 But I did see him In the superhero Gang show The Mighty X4 Fantastic Four Yeah The Mighty X4 I don't know dude
Starting point is 00:54:21 Avengers I don't know dude The Revengers Yeah He's a four Taylor Swift at 5 Snoop Dog at 6 Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:54:28 The crazy thing about Snoop Dog And he has a Biopick coming out Next year About him Who plays that Who plays him Michael Jackson's nephew
Starting point is 00:54:36 He has to. He does everyone now. He's on a role. He did it as Michael Jackson. He was up for murder. I know. That trial was before like trials were shown in its entirety and our, we weren't obsessed. But he was up for murder.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Isn't that crazy? He was a gang member. I quit it. Yeah. That's bizarre, dude. Talk about turning your life around. He has one of, he's gone from being on trial for murder to doing funny skits at the Olympics. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Has there ever been someone flip like that before in the history of, pop culture. He's like sitting with Martha Stewart watching like ice skating. Jennifer Garner at 7. Yeah. I don't I feel like I feel like she is nice, but I feel like she's not my type of person. Are you talking about the same person? Yeah. She has a farm.
Starting point is 00:55:24 She's like super nice. What do you not like about her? I don't know. I feel like... Do you know the right who we're talking about? Yes. Yeah. She does the Capital One commercials. Yeah, yeah. What's in your wallet? Yeah. But she, I I don't know. There's something about her. It rubs you wrong because I don't feel like there's enough to rub me any direction. Like she's too nerdy. Oh, I think I like that though.
Starting point is 00:55:42 You like that? Mm-hmm. Like, I feel like she's too nerdy. I'd be like, I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. She does seem smart. So you're intimidated by her. That's probably it.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Got it. We got there. That's probably it. Steve Krell at 8. Oh, for sure. Very likable. Yeah, love him. Paul Rudd at 9.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. That's good. And The Rock isn't on, but there's a wrestler on it. Oh, John Cena. John Cena at 10. I feel like he, he's not. not always nice, right? Well, he played a bad guy for a little bit, but that's not real.
Starting point is 00:56:10 That was acting. Yeah, that was acting. I saw a video where he was eating somewhere and a guy comes up to him. And I think he was his schick to like sing. Have you seen this video? John Sina's? No, John Sina is sitting, eating. Okay. And the guy that's videoing is like he just goes up to people and starts singing.
Starting point is 00:56:29 And the celebrity is supposed to be like, that's cool, keep singing. I like, what are you doing? And John Sina was like, what are you doing? Get out of here. Like, whatever your thing is, get out of here and like, I'm eating right now. And the guy's like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And he walks away.
Starting point is 00:56:44 But it was one of those where like, oh, I expected John Cena to kind of be like, yeah, keep singing. But it's not right. I mean, that's not normal. Justice for John Cena. Right. Because that's so rude. Yeah. He's like, I'm not buying what you're selling.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Yeah, that's what he said. But he was like direct about it. Yeah, he was like, stop it. He's like, stop. Get out of here. I'm surprised it wasn't set up at the beginning. So that was that shows that that bit. isn't set up then, right?
Starting point is 00:57:07 No, that guy does it to a bunch of celebrities. He just goes up and starts singing songs. How does he find so many celebrities that even sing to? L.A. Mike, what's the source of that? U-Gov. Classic U-Gov. Making lists.
Starting point is 00:57:19 That's the U.S. government? I don't know. Why are you GOV? Trump's on the list. Well, RFK, Trump, HECS, is it three? At number one, two, and three. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:36 That's it. Did I not come back around to anything I started? Because sometimes we do that. It was kind of cool because even like you talking about your life from not complaining on the yacht went from H&R Block to like, you know, having a manager or an agent and buying expensive tires. You're kind of like Snoop. Dude, those tires, it pisses me off at myself. I'd love to see your wife be like, you did what? Yeah, she's like, the tires don't cost that much.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Yeah. And I said, no, no, they do. They told me. But are you sure? They promised. Dude, I want to go back with you so bad and be like, you took advantage of my friend. Pretty woman. I dress different.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And you just sit there like. Yeah. They're on now. They're on. I'll look at them on the way out. They don't look any different. They're the old tires. But what was the craziest part was equal to the, we'll end on the tires, is that they only last 10,000 miles.
Starting point is 00:58:30 And are you sure about that? I googled it. It says anywhere, like I said, 8,000 to 15,000, if you really don't. drive much on them, but they're such high-performance tires. I think they think I'm racing. Yeah. What do you? Are you? Are you? Do they not know you go under the speed limit? Yeah. Ten and two? I do the opposite. I go slow, man. Thank you guys for watching.
