In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins. But the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax. You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Owens, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern.

Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Gillespie and Michael Marncini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed, I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that, trust your girlfriends. Listen to the girlfriends, trust me, babe, on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I got you. I got you.

What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodam. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.

If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not. be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Friday show. We got a big one. Morning studio. Morning. Let's go around the room. If you could invent a holiday, what would it be? You could invent a holiday. What would

it be? It would be national left-handers day, but everything has to be built for us for once in our life, meaning desks, scissors, ball gloves. You need to be able to find ball gloves and guitars. And there's a real struggle with being left-handed. And you just accepted and forget that you guys, right-handers, have it a lot easier than left-handers after a while because it's just a difficult life. And I would have National Left-Hander Day where all the stuff that, or you guys just have to suffer through what we have to suffer through.

Why? Why do we have? You can never find anything that. So I would go, and we also probably get, everybody gets five, is left-handed. And you have to prove it by throwing a ball through a hole. Oh. So you can't just claim it.

National left-handers day is my holiday. The end. Amy. National no parenting day. The government provides care. That's what I was going to do. National babysitting day. And you get to just like, I don't know. Go do whatever you want.

Oh, and that's part of it too. You can do whatever you want? Yeah. Like no laws? Like you can kill and stuff? No, no, no, no. You don't get to break the law. But like, you don't have to go to work.

You don't have to work. to work as a parent. You don't have to cook anything or clean anything or laundry or... Sounds like Eddie's every day. You don't have to... Oh, sorry, yeah. There's no consequence. You don't have to hand out consequences. Got it. That's awesome. It's exhausting. I'm kidding it. Eddie, what do you have? Yeah, mine was kind of the same thing. But you know what? It would be cool. A random Wednesday day. So like one random Wednesday, they tell you everyone has this day off and you didn't plan

for it. You're just like, hey. It's like find a $10 in your pocket. That's what I'm talking about. But why Wednesday? Yeah, did you say random Wednesday day? Yeah, that's what it's called. Random Wednesday day. I kind of like it because you never know it's coming and you wake up and at 1201. You have the day off. All of a sudden it comes across like an amber alert.

Random Wednesday day, random Wednesday day. You don't have to go to work. That's good. That'd be amazing. Lunchbox. National no tipping day. One day out of the year, you go everywhere, anywhere, and they cannot ask you for a tip. There can't be a tip line.

There can't be a sign that says, hey, we accept tips. can't put a bucket, a cardboard box, a milk jug, nothing. No tips allowed on National, no tipping day. So just looking at this as a whole, all four of us. Three of us wanted something for other people. One of us wanted to take something away from somebody. No, I wanted to give this to all you guys. Most of servers too. No, no, no. But I'm saying, and not have to feel like you have to tip everyone. I hear you, but I'm saying your day is you not giving to servers. It's not just servers. Walk in a hotel.

Hey, welcome our hotel. Can you give me a tip? Hey, would you like help your bag? Where are you staying, bro? I mean, every hotel you walk in. Who stayed at the Airbnb where they asked for the note? Oh, me. Was it you?

Yeah. Which is weird. Tell lunch about that out. So I stayed at an Airbnb and they left a note that said you could Venmo to tip the house cleaner for the Airbnb. So. Oh, that's cool. Which I'm okay.

No, it's not cool. Hold on, but Morgan, why was that weird? It was weird because I already paid a $65 cleaning fee to stay at the Airbnb. There's already a built-in fee when you book the Airbnb. But the fees for the owner of the house. To clean. And the tip is for the cleaning. Hold on.

And I love tipping. Live my life, built all the people's tips forever. I will say, though, why that's weird is that $65 is for the owner to pay for somebody to clean. They're already getting that money. There you go. There you go.

And the owner should tip. Yeah. Yes. The owner can work the tip into the thing. But if you want a tip, great. But I'm saying that is weird. But I'm not going to get the benefit of it. a clean house, so why would I, like, no, see, this is why we need National No Tipping Day.

Yeah. Screw everybody. All right. So stupid. Yeah. All right, that's how we start the show today. Thank you guys for being here. It's the anonymous in boxing bar. Bobby Bones, my wife and I been married for two years. Everything is great except for one thing. She compares me to her ex. It's not always obvious, but she'll make remarks like, my ex used to handle this or my ex would come up with romantic surprises I've brought it up before

but she says she chose me and she's just making observations and I shouldn't take it personally still it's chipping away at my self-esteem how can I address this with her without starting an argument or seeming like I'm insecure signed her ex would never write this I would start to

anybody would start to feel insecure your partner was constantly bringing up somebody they were with before you. So if you're starting to feel insecure, that's totally natural because what's happening with her doing that to you is not natural in a healthy relationship. If a reference is made occasionally by accident, okay, I understand. But the constant comparison, the multiple time comparison, that's not good even if she's like, but I chose you. That's not good.

That's not healthy. That's not a good partner. The fact that you're even still in the mix here without having said something to her gone to therapy, you've been married for two years. My guess is the ex dumped her. The ex dumped her and she's still. I know.

Otherwise, why would you hold him on such a platform? Because she's platforming him right now. She's platforming the ex. And when you're married, what is her? Two years. I just wonder, what is her mom? I just wonder what is our motivation here. Uncalled for.

Not needed. Not wanted. You don't deserve it. This is something that you bring up to her in therapy. However you do it, it needs to be brought up. You don't feel comfortable with it. And if she still continues to do it, then I think there needs to be a different course of action one way or the other.

Yeah. I feel like the only time it's okay to maybe mention an ex. I'm trying to think of like things that pop into my mind. No, it'd be like, oh, you're. It's just such a relief to, you know, not be stressed about time because my ex used to always freak out. I wouldn't even say that. I do no ex-talk married. I agree, but I'm trying to think of something where you could like say the ex where it's not a dig at you and said like, my ex used to be so romantic and you suck.

I just wouldn't bring up the ex at all. Even that, even if like my, and my ex had sucked and his was so little. Even then I wouldn't do that. That's like the best thing you can say to a dude about your ex. No, don't say that. But that's what you would want to hear. But even that, you can't do it. You can't bring up the X at all.

Unless he asks her about it, you don't bring it up at all in comparison. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In no way whatsoever. Even if it's benefit. Because it just shows you're thinking about him. So not good. You're not insecure. Any insecurity that you do have is brought on by her and she's chipping away at it.

That is unfair to you. It has got to change. Not cool. Not cool. Even, like I said, the best case scenario is her saying what I said. And that's not good. And that's not even good. Happy Independence Day.

It's the Bobby Bones Show. Celebrating the red and white and blue. Happy Fourth of July. It's Tim McGraw. And what I look forward to most about this time of years, the memories of what Fourth of July stands for, gathering with your family, just hanging out, barbecue, and having a great time.

And remember, just how great of a country that we have. Bobby Bones Show. Happy Fourth of July. So these are safety tips that we probably haven't thought of. Yeah, this woman popped up on my Instagram and she's a safety expert. She studied criminal justice and all kinds of things. So she knows what criminals are doing or what they're after and how women are vulnerable. And I just never thought about how I carry myself in a parking lot or when I'm walking from store to store or walking from building to building.

So is it about making yourself less attractive to somebody who's going to want to attack somebody? Yes. You're minimizing your vulnerability. Okay. So what do you have here? And so these are clips. This is actually stuff that she shared. Okay.

There's three things I want you to always keep in mind. Your stride, your posture, and your awareness. Always walk with confidence and a purpose. Remember that a distracted person is a very easy target. So make sure you're never walking around with your head buried in your phone. Practice situational awareness always. Last but not least, strong eye contact and acknowledgement. I see you and I'm aware that you're there.

Remember that if you ever find yourself in a scary situation, noise is your friend. And carry an AK-47. No one don't mess with you. She said she always has pepper spray on her and an alarm on her key. To go, whee-oo-oo-you-ah, yeah. Something that I personally do is always carry pepper spray or pepper gel and a personal keychain alarm with me at all times. Gives me added peace of mind should I ever need it. It's not living in fear, it's living aware.

Yeah, those alarms are pretty scary. You hit it and just goes, eh, I would stop trying to kill you if you did that, just out of annoyance. And everyone's going to turn around to that sound and see what's happening. The problem is when they attack people,

there's usually not everyone around. Yeah. You're kind of alone-ish. Yeah, and that's why I thought the eye contact thing was interesting too. And I don't think it definitely means it's going to work, but you probably could intimidate someone more so if you're just facing it head on instead of like avoiding it.

If you make eye contact with me, I think you're trying to come on to me. No, no, no, no, no, not in that way. She's like saying in a confident way Like I see you, you're not coming up on me I know you're here And then you've got your alarm ready And then boom, you get them It's a different look bones

Maybe you just walk Is it? I've never had the other ones I don't know Maybe you just walk around with your alarm On the whole time On the outside Oh always?

Yeah It's like people at festivals Have the flag They carry the flags So you can always find them Yeah I love that Yeah you will Oh wow

John's here I think Amy's good in the parking lots So she's always in a hurry Like Amy's always like And she drives and like running in the stuff Don't do you don't do it. No I do not No.

So here you go. This is Neil Degrass Tyson talking about aliens. Do you guys know Neil DeGrasse Tyson? Yes. I've heard the name. Like the most famous scientist in the whole world. I follow him. Oh, that's not, I thought he was an actor.

Acting as a scientist? No, I was thinking. Are you thinking of Mike Tyson? No, I'm thinking about Tyson. No, Tyson Beckford. Okay, well, this is Neil deGrasse Tyson. And so this is a podcast by Zach Justice. Talking about aliens.

You know me. I love it. He was asked about what are the chances that aliens have already found out about Earth and who we are and why he thinks aliens haven't been on Earth. Aliens may be vastly more intelligent than we are because they figured out how to get here. And we haven't left low Earth orbit in 50 years. So the question is, why would we think they would be interested in us at all? I remain unconvinced that we've been visited by aliens.

We have high-resolution images of the surface of Mars. We have images from the edge of the universe. We have this high-resolution imagery of all these places in the universe. And the best you have is a fuzzy, monochromatic tic-tac. And you want to say those are visiting aliens? That's the best you have. We have more work to do here. So we have some points.

The only thing that I would say is, how do we know we'd be able to see them with our cameras and our technology? Yeah, it's like Bigfoot or Lottness Monster or the spaceship. It's like, okay. But if they're really advanced, why would they be made of organic materials

like we have? And why would they be things that our cameras, the irises and these cameras, would be able to see? So. That can't be that smart to be invisible. Would you go ahead?

How can we define how smart something is that we don't even know if exists? Yeah. That's like really smart. We don't even know if it exists. We're going, it can't be that smart. Don't you're giving them too much credit. Here are these two guys talking about it again,

and Neil deGrasse Tyson. And they ask, do you think the technology is being kept from us because as a human race, we're not ready for it yet? People think, especially the government, has all these secret things and their secret capabilities. Have you ever worked for the government? I try not to. The level of incompetence.

I think he's like a PR person for the government now. Oh, really? I've heard that before anyway. And he goes out and says stuff. But that's a... Have you worked for the government? But I've got buddies that work for the government. They're not very bright.

But a lot of bright people do work with the government. We just don't know them because we don't have to go get our tags, new tags from them and stand in line for four hours. Not that kind of job, but I'm just saying, he's so jokey about that. It makes me feel like he's lying. Wow. Okay.

He makes it, you know, work for the government. And he's a brilliant guy. I love listening to him. But that part, I feel like he's hiding something. And yeah, they have technology that we don't know. Let's take aliens out of. Of course they have technologies we don't know. The moon landing thing is weird.

What about it? Because all the plans that we had that got us to the moon, they don't exist anymore. They destroyed them. They're like, we don't have how to get there anymore. That's weird. Yeah, that is weird. Like, we don't save stuff. We save stuff.

We save everything. I think we landed on the moon. Just let me say that. I just think there's a bunch of weird stuff. And the footage that America saw and the footage that we have of it was of a camera shooting a screen. It wasn't. Oh, because we didn't know how to record that stuff then. Because it was still broadcast.

So it was broadcast onto a screen, but then they shot the screen instead of feeding the feed through. That was a weird thing too. I still think it happened. But it was a race with the Russians. Here is why he thinks the moon landing was not faked. Not only all the imagery in the 1960s, you'd have to fake the millions of pages of engineering diagrams

for the Saturn 5 rocket. the warehouses in which they were stored. But here's the best that I heard about this. The government goes to Neil Armstrong and said, Neil, we don't know how to get you to the moon, but we have to pretend we did. So what are you going to do? We're going to get some Hollywood people

and we're going to stage it. In order to fake it, what we'll do is we'll shoot it on location. That's not funny. See, I do believe we went, but now that he's like, jokey, jokey, I'm like, what's he hiding? Why is he hiding it?

He's like, we'll shoot it on location, which means to have to get to the moon. The moon. Gotcha. Okay, I get that now. All right. He's too jokey. Now I start believing it's fake because of that one clip.

It's too much cover. That one's almost too much cover up, I feel like, to be totally fake. But that's what's up. A little science for you this morning. Do you follow him on Instagram? I think I'm fed a lot of his videos to my for you algorithm because if he comes up, I watch a lot of them. Yeah, I don't know. You know what is weird, though?

If we did land on the moon, like, why aren't we out there more? Well, now they're saying we're going to build houses there. Yeah, like we've had time already to do that. I don't know, man. There's other things. Oh, and then... Is it even real? I don't know.

Oh, God. A minute ago when we played the safety tips when walking, I should give her a handle in case people want to find her. She's on a CB? Brigger, breaker. Give her a handle. What's your 20 out there, girl, giving a safety tips? No, it's Dana underscore Eve. And, yeah, I don't even follow her, but her stuff just pops up.

Wouldn't that be like her username or her? I thought you said handle. I think handles, right? Breaker bag on two. It's a... What's your handle? Yeah. I'm doing a nickel, nickel, nickel.

the highway. Happy birthday, America. The Bobby Bonds show. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home there's something good. 35 years ago, Alina and Sean were in high school together, and Sean's like, hey, would you go to prom with me?

They had a great time, but they graduate. They go their separate ways. Well, now Alina's a teacher in Colorado, and she sees on Facebook that Sean needs a kidney. And she's like, my prom date needs a kidney. let me go get tested. She's not a match. But she's like, I will donate a kidney. That way it starts one of those donate kidney chains.

She donates a kidney. That puts him to the top of the list, and he gets a kidney. That's crazy. That's what prom dates are all about. You fired up about that one. Why? Oh, man, I just remember prom. It was a great time in my life.

Because I went and, you know, no expectations. And they said, and the prom king is, and boom! They named me prom king, and I was like, that's what I'm talking about. Do you think your date would donate a kidney to you? Oh, probably. Who was your date? Allie. Was she queen?

The one person who doesn't say her last name or give a story base. Allie Liggin. I think she's in Dallas now. Yeah. You know, we've gone our separate ways. Life has taken us different directions. Was she prom queen? No.

So did she feel like, oh. Well, no, no, no. She was a junior. I was a senior. So Kathleen, Kathleen Wheat was the prom queen. So, yeah, shout out Kathleen. She's probably listening right now. She's got two boys now.

Husband. Yeah. Cool. No, she got a son and daughter. Facebook. Yeah. No, we still. Yeah, he talks every morning.

He's on Facebook all day. Okay, that's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that, trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.

I felt like I got hit by a girl. a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends.

Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Ago Wode. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and The Big Money Players Network, It's Will Farrell. Woo! Woo!

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved.

And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.

Listen to thanks dad on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. In 2023, Former Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case.

I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbance. pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg, a lesbian, Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police.

As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona. Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Bobby Bones Show now. Dan and Shay. You guys have been doing it for a long time, even though you're still very young.

How do you not do the same thing again when you've had success doing it already? Because I feel like the easy thing would be, let's just do what we did last time. It was awesome. Because again, you could keep doing the exact same thing over and over and over and have massive success until you don't. but you guys haven't done that. Like how do you avoid that? I think a lot of times a solo act, it's harder for you to, you know, to veer off and maybe try something new.

Not to say that that's true for all solo acts, but I feel like for Dan and I, it's a lot easier for us to really collaborate, you know, in those moments where we're writing the album and things. We're able to push each other to try and, you know, kind of different, not different, you know, we want to do the same kind of music. We always want to be Dan and Shea. You can't go off and just, you know, abandon what got you there. the first place. But I think that, you know, just like going with bigger houses as a single,

you know, one of us can be like, hey, why not, let's just do this. Let's do what we want to do and make sure that we're making the art that we want to make. And I don't know, it's kind of been that way throughout our career of just pushing each other of, hey, let's just do what we want to do, you know, what we know our fans are going to love. And obviously throughout the years, I think that you learn things, you know, you try things that you, you know, you push the boundaries a little bit. Sometimes it's like, all right, let's reel it back. You know, we don't go that way. Let's go in this direction. Let's go in this direction. And I think that, you know, once you have your identity, we know, we are and we know who Dan and Shea, you know, the brand that we've built.

And I think it's important to push the boundaries while also still, you know, not abandoning what got you there in the first place, which is, you know, that first album for us, there was a lot of our, you know, super fans that were still, you know, some of their favorite songs on that very first album. know, appropriately, you know, where it all began, uh, for us. And I don't know, I think it's, it's important to push those, those boundaries, but also not abandoned, you know, what got you there to begin with. And that can be a, a tight rope that is hard to, to walk. But it's a lot easier when there's two of us to be like, hey, let's, let's, let's kind of roll this back. And I don't know, that's, that's, that's part of the fun is kind of pushing the boundaries a little

bit. You know, I think it's, uh, we're able to do that and have the confidence to do that, since there's, there's two of us kind of being our own cheerleaders. Let's play this game. What's something that maybe you were like, I don't know, but the other one, and I'd like an answer from both of you, the other one was like, I believe in it. And you're like, all right, fine. I don't know that I do, but let's go and end up being a success. So what, what does you go? I don't know. Because you told the story of bigger houses where she was like, why can it be?

I'm not going to let that be an answer. But you're an advocate and the other one's not. And the one who was not was wrong because it was successful. I wouldn't say I wasn't an advocate, but I, after tequila, right? biggest song of our career, trying to figure out what we go with next. And we had a song on that record called Keeping Score that was streaming like crazy. Kelly Clarkson was on it. You know, one of the most famous, most incredible vocalists of all time.

Like the biggest get we could get as a feature. Getting to hear her sing a duet with Shea was unbelievable. That was kind of my vote for the next single. I was like, you know, go number one at country. You cross over to hot AC, do the thing. Because tequila was crossing over at that time. And Shea was like, you know, speechless, I think is the one. Like, I think it's amazing.

I love singing it. That was always his thing. If he loves singing it, that's always a good sign. He loves singing tequila, love singing bigger houses, and he loves singing speechless. And I love the song. I thought, you know, it could be a hit. But I was like, ah, you know, we got this Kelly Clarkson thing on here. How are we going to leave this on the table? There was this show is in Rapid City, Iowa. Or no, I think it was Rapid City, Iowa. It was during our album release week. It was a crazy show. Brett Eldridge was on the show. I was wearing a crazy pink and green floral shirt. I remember it like it was yesterday. We went on stage. A song. It was a song. had been out for like three days and we played speechless and somebody was on the side of the

stage filming with their phone and the crowd sang it like crazy when that chorus hit i looked over at shay i was like that's a single wow that's it but he was super passionate about that song and uh he was right good that's a good story yeah like that's the kind of stuff we have them here for that's a all right yeah that's a good story yeah you do one okay well there's a song called tequila oh man i don't know i mean there's uh like how was dan so right and maybe you weren't wrong because again Keith Moore was an awesome song. I loved it too. And that would have been a hit.

But I think you made the right decision because speechless is what you guys will be known for. All-timer. I think it's in our top three in our catalog. It's a special song. It's not time-stamped by a moment in time. That song could have came out in the 70s. That song could come out today,

and I feel like it would still sound fresh. So you, you tell me, when were you not right? Oh, man. I've never been wrong, Bobby. It's crazy. All right, back after this. Thank you guys for coming up. No, I mean, you know, there's been some,

situations like like speechless was like you know i usually i try to sit back and you know take the collective of the group we have such a you know great team and dan and i are usually on the same page about everything i mean even you know speechless he was not against the song ever um but there's been moments where i've been like this has got to be the single that we've got to do this um i felt that way about tequila i did dan but i felt that way about tequila as well and i remember there's a lot of people not to throw like our label and everybody under the bus but it was like that with tequila you know we had pushed a song called road tripping um that was uh that was definitely it was definitely a hit so don't look at it's eddie's favorite

there showing that tattoo uh but that it was like that dan and i were very much i was like because dan had written the song and from the very first time i heard that demo i was like we're going in there and we're recording the song which one is tequila got it and i remember being in london and our you know a lot of people you know around around the label were like that we can't you know we just you know had this song it wasn't necessarily a failure like our our fans loved road tripping but it was like it was going to take a long time to push the song to number one and we were kind of getting into it was winter time you know we had the Christmas break coming up and I was just like we we've got to push this song like this song is this is it like I felt

strongly about the tequila as I did speechless those songs were like are you're talking about you're talking about you're talking about you're talking about that does make me curious of why they didn't, why were they wrong? Like, why were they not on board with tequila? Oh, that's easy. They're idiots. Cater. No.

But I wondered if they gave you that reason of like, yeah, because it's winter and like tequila or my, I have no idea. No, maybe it's too much inside baseball. But yeah, that factors into it. The seasonal thing, is it winter? Is it, you know, and at radio, you always want to have tempo. Like tempo, I feel like always gives you the best shot. But if you look at it historically, sometimes the ballads are the biggest risk,

but they have the biggest reward. Like in our career, from the ground up, speechless, tequila. Those are all, you know, what people would say ballads. I don't know. We could come out with a 120 BPM song. There's going to be somebody out there. They still said this a ballot? No, we can't get to it this week.

How, you know, we've got too many ballads. I'm like, this song is a punk rock song. It's the best of the same. Come on, man. Well, everybody, Shea, perfect. It's never wrong. Listen, you should ask Dan because I'm trying to think of all. I usually listen to Dan.

Here's the reason I haven't been, you know, wrong with singles because I trust him implicitly. And, you know, most of the singles, it's, we're like, right there. And so I really should say Dan and I have never been wrong. You know what I mean? Except both tripping. Except both of a little trip. We got this, though. All right.

Dan and Shay are here. When we do our podcast, we can't put any music in the podcast because now if you put something on demand in a podcast, it's illegal. It makes total sense. But we can't put even a clip of a song in a podcast now unless it is a public domain song. So public domain would be songs are like 100 years old. Without further ado, this is happy birthday. That's exactly it, right?

So I have a few Because we have a really large podcast audience Like millions and millions I listen to every episode You're lying but thank you very much I swear I do I watch you in your window So here's the thing

He's going to perform it to me as well, which, you know, for video effect. I'm trying to make sure I know the words to this. I might screw this out. I don't know the words.

That's your next single. It is, actually. I'm glad of her, you know. So good. Our last freebie, a song we can do for free, Mary had a little lamb as done by Dan and Shea, right? Okay. I feel like this is kind of the rendition of like our silent night,

you know what I mean? Honestly, though, Mary had a little lamb like is not too far off from Dan and Shea's sound, you know? Grown back is like the Savage Garden of country, the OG. I haven't said that in 15 years. Give me a break. Give me a break. That's pretty good.

I love Savage Garden. Give me a break. Come on. Let's see here. Mary had... He started too high. I did, yeah. I got the natural lamp from here.

Oh, here we go. Mary had... Dang, this is harder than I thought it was going to be. Mary had a little lamb. What's the rest of the word? Little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little... Oh, I was doing the wrong.

I was doing the wrong melody. What were you doing? I don't know. I don't know. Mary had a little lamb, little lamb. Little lamb. Little lamb. Oh, no, no, no, not everybody.

It was another public domain song. That hasn't been written yet. No, I checked back in 200 years. I've been thinking, you know, Dan and I've been having a discussion about this for our next album is going to be all public domain songs, actually. For free. There's not enough of them. Christmas songs.

You guys are smart. because you do originals, but also you can record the classics. Bopery. It's unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. And make them on you. What are you doing?

With Bobby. Tell me something good. A puppy saved from a house fire in Oregon has been adopted by a firefighter. who plans to not only save the dog, but also teach kids the importance of fire safety. This is like the ultimate. You got a firefighter? You got a puppy?

You got a puppy. You got a puppy. Yeah. The puppy, now named... Flame. Smoky. Close. Oh.

The shelter took in the pup and said that the dog was struggling, especially to be adopted because a large part of the dog's neck had been burnt. So people were like, we don't want to adopt the dog until it's healthy. The firefighter was like, I'll adopt the dog. And you can see to, like, like, Like the neck, top of the head, there's some burn on it. It's like a black, like half bulldog, half who knows. But he takes the dog now.

And first of all, lots of intensive care, lots of cold bats, medicated. We should call it Sab. They call it salve. Yeah, yeah. Salf. Woon management. He did it all. The puppy is now going with him to these classes to teach fire safety.

Smoky. Smokey. It's always weird if you change a dog's name, though. Do they care? I never asked one. It has to be weird because they've been called something for so long. Yeah, be an adjustment. Like, is he talking to me?

But it's just a sound. Like, my name is Rex. But that sound of Rex is now smoking. Yeah. Smoking. Okay. That's a great story. That's what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. That was trying to put you through. Mike Dees right in this week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is. The story is if you can make a woman laugh, she'll be more likely to overlook your shortcomings. Which I like. That works for me. Lucky for you.

I'm about to give you a joke. Oh, no, but he's got to make you laugh. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but you can use it. Oh. It's not the same kind of laugh. Everybody can use it. Like, I give the jokes and then everybody.

The novelty of this is it's so corny. Like, if I went home and I was really trying to impress my wife, I wouldn't. Although my humor just doesn't work the same. My wife can predict everything I'm going to say. Really? Like, she knows all my jokes. However, she still makes me laugh out loud. But I rarely, and when I do, I point at her and be like, ah!

Like I caught her doing something. Like, if I could make her laugh now, I do that. And she's like, why are you doing that? Because I made you laugh. She's like, yeah. But it's like, it's so rare now. Dude, you got me and my boys real good yesterday. When you FaceTimed us and we answered and we thought you were frozen.

Oh, I just said, it still is possible. As soon as he answered, oh, my wife hates that bit. We were like, oh, no, he's frozen. She hates that bit. Oh, I love doing bits. Amy, we were like, it's frozen. And my brother's like, I wouldn't crack. Hey, here, move this.

Maybe click on that. And then he goes, ah, I got you. I wasn't frozen. That's a fun bit. That's a good bit. So, yeah, I guess when you do it to your wife, she doesn't laugh. No, she's like, I know you're faking it. She was like, I can see you breathing.

She just hang up. In a study, women were asked to choose between two pictures of equally attractive men, and there were biographies about the men. the women chose men with a good sense of humor over more serious men, even though they found the funny guys at times not as good looking because they were close, they'd still pick the funier one. Women liked guys that were more fun if it were close than guys that were good looking. No study on money.

Sorry, more fun or more funny? More fun, generally, because funny is fun. Like they want to date you and like marry and stuff. Maybe I just did a new act for my wife. I made to do like physical comedy Like slip on a banana pill Oh that's good Like three stooges stuff

She's a tough cookie to crack Sometimes she'll say stuff to me That's so funny I'll just send Eddie a quick voice memo And tell him what she just said And it's really funny Because I'm like Okay this is funny

You need to know Because I'm like let me post this She goes no I don't tell jokes She doesn't tell jokes She doesn't tell jokes She says things She says I don't do stuff for public She's like I just do it for us

Like you get a laugh Ha ha ha ha And I'm like I got to tell Eddie this joke That's from evolution And human behavior Research publication Guys, if you're funny, it's worth about a half point, I would say. Okay.

Maybe one whole point. Yeah. Maybe one whole point. All right, speaking of funny, here's Amy and the morning corny. The morning corny. What kind of sandals to frogs wear? What you got? Open toad.

Open toad. That was the morning corny. That one wouldn't work at home. You don't like that one? No, I mean, she'd like it, but she'd be like it. but she'd be like, yeah, okay? It's all in the delivery. Like, you have sandals on,

and then you stick it and go open-toed, and then you show your toe, and then you maybe hopped. Oh, like, demonstrate. And then, like, say, rivet. Happy Independence Day. It's the Bobby Bones show. Happy Fourth of July, y'all.

Barbecue. All right. Show me barbecue. American food barbecue. Okay. Don't get mad at me. No, no, I just... Don't hate the player.

Eddie's in movies, but I mean, our TV is good, like Hollywood could work, but I feel like you would have just wrapped that in with the movies, obviously.

So let's go with fashion. Fashion. Jorps didn't make the list. Dang it. That's cut off, yeah. Lunchbox. You need one here to stay alive. Although if you get any, you take the lead.

Yeah, I understand that. I just have nothing. Nothing? I have no idea. Best thing about America. Best thing about America. I love America. I love being able to vote, but we already got democracy.

I love being able to choose what I do. That's freedom. And it wasn't chasing the American dream. He's, right now, he's stalling. This is a filibuster? Yeah, it's called filibuster, Amy, because you've got to think of something. We'll go with health care.

Oh, God. I know it's not in. Good job. That's the one I knew it wasn't, but I literally have no idea. And you want to take a shot? Yeah. Best National Anthem in the world. Best National Anthem.

Who I guess loves America more. anybody else. Yes. God bless America, baby. So these are safety tips that we probably haven't thought of. Yeah, this woman popped up on my Instagram and she's a safety expert. She studied criminal justice and all kinds of things. So she knows what criminals are doing or what they're after and how women are vulnerable. And I just never thought about how I carry myself in a parking lot or when I'm walking from store to store or walking from building to building. So it's about making yourself less attractive to somebody who's want to attack somebody? Yes.

You're minimizing your vulnerability. Okay. So what do you have here? And so these are clips. This is actually stuff that she shared. Okay. There's three things I want you to always keep in mind. Your stride, your posture, and your awareness.

Always walk with confidence and a purpose. Remember that a distracted person is a very easy target. So make sure you're never walking around with your head buried in your phone. Practice situational awareness always. Last but not least, strong eye contact. contact and acknowledgement. I see you and I'm aware that you're there. Remember that if you ever find yourself in a scary situation, noise is your friend. And carry an AK-47. No one don't mess with you. Well, she said she always has pepper spray on her and an alarm on her key.

To go, whee-oo-oo-you-ah. Yeah. Something that I personally do is always carry pepper spray or pepper gel and a personal keychain alarm with me at all times. Gives me added peace of mind should I ever need it. It's not living in fear. It's living aware. Yeah, those alone are pretty scary. You hit it and just goes, I would stop trying to kill you if you did that, just out of annoyance. And everyone's going to turn around to that sound and see what's happening. The problem is when they attack people, there's usually not everyone around.

Yeah. You're kind of alone-ish. Yeah, and that's why I thought the eye contact thing was interesting too. And I don't think it definitely means it's going to work, but you probably could intimidate someone more so if you're just facing it head-on. on instead of like avoiding it. If you make eye contact with me, I think you're trying to come on to me. No, no, no, no, not in that way. She's like saying in a confident way, like I see you, you're not coming up on me. I know you're here and then you've got your alarm ready and then boom, you get them.

It's a different look, Bones. Maybe you just walk, is it? I've never had either ones. I don't know. Maybe you just walk around your alarm on the whole time. Oh, always? Yeah. It's like people at festivals that have the flag. They carry the flags. You can always find them. Yeah, I love that. John's here. I think Amy's good in the parking lots, though. She's always in a hurry. Like Amy's always like, and she drives and like running into stuff. No, I do not. No. So here you go.

This is Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about aliens. Do you guys know Neil DeGrasse Tyson? Yes. Like the most famous scientist in the whole world. I follow him. Oh, that's not, I thought he was an actor. Acting as a scientist? No, I was thinking.

Are you thinking of Mike Tyson? No, I'm thinking about Tice. No, Tyson Beckford. Okay, well, this is Neil deGrasse Tyson. And so this is a podcast by Zach Justice. Talking about aliens. You know me. I love it.

He was asked about what are the chances that aliens have already found out about Earth. and who we are and why he thinks aliens haven't been on Earth. Aliens may be vastly more intelligent than we are because they figured out how to get here. And we haven't left low Earth orbit in 50 years. So the question is, why would we think they would be interested in us at all? I remain unconvinced that we've been visited by aliens.

We have high-resolution images of the surface of Mars. We have images from the edge of the universe. We have this high-resolution imagery of all these places in the universe. And the best you have is a fuzzy, monochromatic, Tick-Tac, and you want to say those are visiting aliens, if that's the best you have, we have more work to do here. So we have some points. The only thing that I would say is,

how do we know we'd be able to see them with our cameras and our technology? Yeah, it's like Bigfoot or Lottnus Monster or the spaceship. It's like, okay. But if they're really advanced, why would they be made of organic materials like we have? And why would they be things that our cameras and the irises and these cameras would be able to see? So. That can't be that smart to be invisible.

Would you go? How can we define how smart something is? We don't even know if exists. Yeah, exactly. We don't even know if it exists. We're going, it can't be that smart. Don't you're giving them too much credit. Here are these two guys talking about it again,

and Neil deGrasse Tyson. And they ask, do you think the technology is being kept from us because as a human race, we're not ready for it yet? People think, especially the government, has all these secret things and their secret capabilities. Have you ever worked for the government? I try not to. The level of incompetence.

I think he's like a PR. person for the government now. Oh, really? I've heard that before anyway. He goes out and says stuff. But that's a... Have you ever worked for the government? But I've got buddies that work for the government.

They're not very bright. But a lot of bright people do work for the government. We just don't know them because we don't have to go get our tags, new tags from them and stand in line for four hours. Not that kind of job, but yeah. But I'm just saying, he's so jokey about that. It makes me feel like he's lying. Wow. Okay.

He makes it, you have worked for the government? And he's a brilliant guy. I love listening. to him. But that part, I feel like he's hiding something. And yeah, they have technology that we don't know. Let's take aliens out of them. Of course they have technologies we don't know. The moon landing thing is weird. What about it? Because all the plans that we had that got us to the moon, they don't exist anymore. They destroyed them. They're like, we don't have how to get there anymore. That's weird. Yeah, that is weird. Like, we can't, we don't save stuff. Like, we save

stuff. And the footage. I think we landed on the moon. Just let me say that. I just think there's a bunch of weird stuff. And the footage that America saw and the footage that we have of it was of a camera shooting a screen. It wasn't. Oh, because we didn't know how to record that stuff then. But you also weren't air. Yeah. So it was broadcast onto a screen,

but then they shot the screen instead of feeding the feed through. That was a weird thing too. I know. I still think it happened. But it was a real race for the Russians. Yeah. Here is why he thinks the moon landing was not faked. Not only all the imagery in the 1960s,

you'd have to fake the millions of pages of engineering diagrams for the Saturn 5 rocket, the warehouses in which they were stored. But here's the best that I heard about this. The government goes to Neil Armstrong and says, Neil, we don't know how to get you to the moon, but we have to pretend we did. So what are you going to do? We're going to get some Hollywood people and we're going to stage it.

In order to fake it, what we'll do is, we'll shoot it on location. That's not funny. See, I do believe we went, but now that he's like, joking, joking, I'm like, what's he hiding? Why is he hiding it? He's like, we'll shoot it on location, which we'll have to get to the moon. The moon. Gotcha. Okay, I get that now.

All right. He's too joky. Okay. Now I start believing it's fake because of that one clip. It's too much cover. That one's almost too much cover up, I feel like. Yeah. To be totally fake.

But that's what's up. A little science for you this morning. Do you follow him on Instagram? I think I'm fed a lot of his videos to my for you algorithm because if he comes up, I watch a lot of them. Yeah, I don't know. You know what is weird, though? If we did land on the moon, like, why aren't we out there more?

Well, now they're saying we're going to build houses there. Yeah. Like, we've had time already to do that. I don't know, ma'am. There's other things. Oh, and then... Is the movie even real? I don't know.

Oh, no. The... A minute ago when we played the safety tips when walking, I should give her a handle in case people want to find her. She's on a CB? Break her, breaker, breaker. Give her a handle. What's your 20 out there, girl? Give them a safety tip.

No, it's Dana underscore Eve. And, yeah, I don't even follow her, but her stuff just pops up. Would that be like her username or her... Oh, do you, I thought you said handle. I think handles, right? Breaker bag of one, too. It's a... What's your handle?

Yeah. I'm doing it. nickel, nickel down the highway. All right. Thanks for being here. We would not be able to pay our mortgages or eat our meals without you listening, right, Amy? That's right. We appreciate you.
