Carbon monoxide. When you said it the first time, me, Eddie and Amy, I had to lower our head. What is it? I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:09:57 You will die from carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon dioxide, you were dancing around it and you said it, but you didn't commit to it. And it was carbon dioxide? Yeah, so we breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide. Plants do the opposite. Okay. So you're kind of right. Yeah, but I don't know why I was saying carbon monoxide.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Like, they help breathe it in so we don't take it. You leave your car running in your garage. You get carbon dioxide. poisoning. There's too many oxides. Hey, Boner. You've been Bo. Lunchbox, winner.
Starting point is 00:10:30 It's the anonymous inbox. Hello, Bobby Bones. Getting married soon. My fiance is a professional writer. Everyone expect his vows to be incredible. And honestly, they will be.
Starting point is 00:10:54 The pressure has been getting to me to write because it's not my strength. I ended up using AI to help me organize my thoughts and put my feelings into words. The emotions and stories are all mine. but AI helped with the actual writing. I feel guilty like I'm cheating. Should I feel bad?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Or is it no different than asking a friend for help? Signed. Riders blog, Bride. You should not feel bad because if you are putting in actual details of your life and writing is not your strength and you are insecure about it, I don't think you should feel bad at all for using a tool. If something is broken at your house, and you're like, well, I had to use a wrench instead of my hands.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Should I feel bad? No, used a tool. That's a tool. So you should not. I'm not going to shame you for even if you went to AI and go, hey, just write me some crap. I'm not going to shame you. Oh, I like that she entered in her actual feelings and stories. I'm just not going to shame anybody for this, especially if it's not your thing and you didn't want to write the value.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah, but that would hurt if you found that out. Yeah, if you found it out. But no shame from me for this. because you're using it as a tool. That's what I like. Put a bunch of stuff in there. Hey, help me organize this. Help me say what I want to say here are the things in our life.
Starting point is 00:12:10 And what it's going to do is basically when I wrote my books, I had an editor. I had a human AI. I would write all this stuff. And you know what they did? They said, okay, let's organize it. Let's do this here. What if you did this? What if we had this?
Starting point is 00:12:25 It's the same thing. Did you feel bad about that? No, because that's the process. Hey, no. Actually, I wanted. more of it made it better don't feel bad you're doing and don't feel bad about something you're doing at any point if there's goodness in your heart about it it may not end up well and you can look back and go well do reflecting i would do that differently but if you have like genuinely goodness in
Starting point is 00:12:48 your heart when you do something you shouldn't feel bad going into it that's usually my my rule of left thumb i got a rule of right thumb too what's that uh don't feed After dark, don't get them wet. Oh, that's Gremlin's. Okay. The old movie, yeah, that's the old gremlins. I got those. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Okay, there you go. Do your thing. Don't feel bad. That's my opinion. I also enjoy AI and use it all the time for research. So, all right, close it up. Sting, the singer, can you name a song? I can't off the top of my head.
Starting point is 00:13:28 If you give me a hint, for sure. Oxen. Don't Don't Zon rocks in Police, yeah Or message in a bottle Yeah, a lot, he's a lot He does not own the rights To his name Sting
Starting point is 00:13:43 The registered owner with the U.S. Patent Office Is pro wrestler Sting Oh wow But he lets them use the name anyway Wow And police Sting came first, right? And do you know who my favorite wrestler of all time is? Sting
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah, yep And do you know who's I've never interviewed that he's on my white whale list, Mount Rushmore of white whales I've never been able to get. Sting. Not the singer, the wrestler. Wow. Yes. Fun fact Friday.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Amy, you're up. Well, this is sort of depressing, but also fun. The blue lights on train platforms in Japan have been shown to reduce the chance that someone will jump in front of a speeding train. They had to do this because people were doing that. And when they changed the lighting, it helped curb suicides. I'm a big fan of curbing suicides. Same. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:39 So that's interesting. So the light, like say the yellow light, when people saw that, they were like, ah, just do it. But the blue? They say that blue lighting reduced suicide attempts by 84%. And it's believed the blue registers a calming effect associated with the sky and the sea, which might be soothing to people in distress, according to psychology today. Like I said, you know what I'm a big advocate of. So this is more like not having suicide.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Interesting facts. All right. Lunchbox. Yeah, Antonio Swad. I don't know if that's how you say his last name, SWAD. He created a restaurant, Pizza Patron. He had a pizza restaurant, had a couple chains. Like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:15:21 I'm going to start a new restaurant. He started Wingstop. Or you just go get wings. And here's the crazy part. He was a vegetarian. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:30 He never got to try his own food. He never tried it. He just did the sauces and he would bring people over and say, hey, taste this. How does it taste? Is the chicken good? All right, I'm going to go up in a wing store. And boom. But you know, the pizza Patron pizzas were pretty good.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Those were in convenience stores, mostly. Remember that? No, do they still, I was big Totinos. The Four Tonys. Do you know, guys know the song from the Four Tonys? Uh-uh. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Mm-hmm. There's multiples. So, which one do you want to do? because if we do them, you've got to nail the second or third or fourth one. Okay. Do you know how to do it? Maybe. No, we can't do maybe.
Starting point is 00:16:08 You just want to wing it? Just say yes, Amy. Do you know how to do it, Eddie? I think so. Mike? No. I definitely do. No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:16:15 There's no chance. Okay, we can... Come on. Let a rip. Okay, I'll do the fourth. I'll do one. Eddie do two, Amy do three. I'll come back with four.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Okay. Mm-hmm, mm-mm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm. Keep going. Oh, I'm a camera. I'm going to blow up. My voice is going to blow up. I think you get the idea, though.
Starting point is 00:16:44 It was pretty close. Yeah, we did a commercial for the four tonies, and they did Totino's pizzas. Yes. Oh, I thought that was just like literally the commercial people came up with that. Oh, no, no. Like a jingle. It's a song, too, back in the day.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Little bitty, pretty one. I want you not to me. Yeah. Morgan. So Abraham Lincoln is in the wrestling Hall of Fame. He's 6'4, and he's only had one loss among 300 contestants. And he
Starting point is 00:17:11 had a reputation for being a fighter in Illinois. Do you know who he lost to? Sting. Your favorite wrestler? My favorite wrestler. Yeah. Yeah, I knew he's a wrestler. Pretty crazy. I never knew that. Lunchbox. You already did yours. Good. I never know. I got to get a plan here on order we're going in. It's okay. We took a song.
Starting point is 00:17:29 break. We're doing counterclockwise now. I'll do another one. The fake money they used in rush hour too looked so real that some of the extras took it and tried to spend it. And the Secret Service wound up raiding the prop company that made it, seizing the money and accusing the company of using that as a way to counterfeit money. Wow. The prop company gets in trouble for... I think they saw it as a way to make real money. And that was their way out. Like, no, we're making this for the movie. Yeah, yeah. Eddie. Okay, this might be the cutest thing ever. See, otters, when they sleep at night, they hold hands. Have you ever seen the videos?
Starting point is 00:18:03 No. There's video of that. Not just at night, daytime too. When they're relaxing. They're laying on their back, holding the hand, and then they're just like spinning in the water. That is too cute because the currents are so strong that like they hold hands so they don't separate. Can you name the highest grossing actor of all time? A dollar if you can.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Everybody gets one guess. And Amy. The Rock. Lunchbox? You can guess the same person if you want. You'll both just get a dollar. No, no, no, no. Vin Diesel.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Morgan. Tom Cruise. Eddie? Tom Hanks. Stanley. Who's that? Oh, wow. A Marvel.
Starting point is 00:18:40 The creator of all of that, because he's in every Marvel movie. I'll tell he died. He was in every one of them, so his movies made more money than anything else. That's amazing. Fun fact Friday. Listen. And you're there for heart-wrenching knockout. biggest stage.

Starting point is 00:21:40 Welcome to Sweet 305 where the group chat comes to life. What a . It's like a way to say like, Oh, my, my friend, oh, my her, my, my brother. Look, I never have ever been with nobody.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Except with my kids, my kids, so, yes. C, my amante. Uff. Uff! That's incredible, yeah, the telenovela.
Starting point is 00:22:01 You're the only person I know that loves a Yellow Starburst. Lemonade. No, there's someone like you like to collaborate with
Starting point is 00:22:10 this person. This is Sweet 305. Listen to Sweet 305 with Lele Pons as part of my Culture
Starting point is 00:22:19 Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. If I say
Starting point is 00:22:26 catfish, what do you think of? I think of catfishing people. Yeah. I don't think of like fried catfish.
Starting point is 00:22:33 You think of getting on the internet and making someone think you're someone you're not. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Because of the show on MTV, right? Catfish. So did you ever watch the documentary that started the show on MTV? Yeah. And the guy who did the show on MTV was catfished and they did the whole documentary. And it was him going, oh my God. Did you guys watch the documentary? Oh yeah, that's when it all started. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:55 That blew my mind. So the guy's name is Neve and I was talking with him. So he created the documentary and then had the show on MTV for like 10 years. And we just talked about catfishers. who we confronted, all this. So this is Neve Schulman, the host of Catfish, the creator of Catfish. Here we go. This is the Bobby Ball Show.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Did you find in all of the years of the show that most of the catfishing was people being selfish, doing it for their own entertainment, or loneliness, or trying to get money out of people? Obviously, in the sort of almost 300 episodes that we did, it was a pretty interesting mix of, motives. I would say if I had to guess, most of the people who were catfishing for money would not have agreed to come on the show because they were, you know, sort of scamming people. Yeah. For the most part, the people who would agree to come on the show are the ones who did genuinely create the profile to communicate, make friends, explore some part of their personality or sexuality or identity, and then kind of accidentally stumbled into the relationship, had real feelings
Starting point is 00:24:07 and didn't know how to handle it. But again, that's through the microscope of the show, that's mostly what we saw. I think for every episode of the show, I'm sure there's hundreds of people who got catfished by someone who just was trying to get money out of them.
Starting point is 00:24:24 We did have a couple episodes like that. We even shockingly got like a Nigerian prince scammer to agree to, I don't think he FaceTimed with us, but he got on the phone. Maybe he FaceTimed. Yeah, he did FaceTime. And admit that, like, he, you know, took the money from this poor guy who was so sweet
Starting point is 00:24:47 because he, you know, he lives in, he's poor. He lives somewhere in Africa. And he's got a girlfriend that he wants to propose to and he was trying to save enough money for a ring. And so the guy, the sweet guy who got catfished, said, hey, I had a ring that I had bought for you that I'll send. that you can use to propose.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I mean, like, kind of amazing story, because he felt bad for the guy, you know? Wow, he still had the empathy, sympathy. Totally. To give the guy that was scamming him a ring to give to his girl. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:25:22 If that were today, they'd have created like a GoFundMe for that dude and he'd have made like a million bucks. Yeah, maybe. For the nice guy. There probably was GoFund me then. Yeah. Wow, that's wild. Well, the crazy thing is that guy had to remain anonymous
Starting point is 00:25:34 is illegal in that country. They have a huge issue for a lot of those countries and they're trying to crack down on it. So it was kind of a big risk for him to even come on the show and admit it. How did you get some of the folks to even come on? Was there a lot of coaxing with some of them? I mean, look, that wasn't my job, really.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I obviously did interact with them and at any point they could have decided to change their mind and not meet up with us. But I think what made the show unique and successful for as long as it was, is that we were really a platform, a safe, empathetic, objective platform for people to hash it out, come clean, reveal themselves, you know, tell their secrets, admit to their wrongdoings, and not get excoriated and made fun of, but sort of be heard and listen to.
Starting point is 00:26:26 And I think for that reason, people felt comfortable and sort of drawn to the show. So Neve is the guy that did the documentary Catfish, and he got catfished. And then the MTV show for a decade where people were faking like somebody that's not on the internet. And I'd asked him like, did you ever get the people together? And then they fell in love for real. And so he was talking about that. Here you go. Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Was there ever an instance where the catfish and the person they were tricking ever actually did fall in love after? Yeah. We had a few minor successes where, where, they kind of agreed to go on some dates. But our one real true love story was we had an episode where a girl was talking to this guy. They had been speaking for a while. They were really into each other. And then we went to meet him and it turned out he had presented himself as a white guy and he was actually black.
Starting point is 00:27:23 And, you know, just a sort of nice looking average, sort of nerdy black guy, who I don't think had really lied about that much other than his appearance. And the girl didn't really care. I guess she was still attracted to him. And they had a kid. And as far as I know, they're married and still together, which is great. And that's probably because he didn't lie about everything. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Right. I mean, I'm sure he left out things about his life because it didn't fit with the sort of version he had presented. But that was actually, there was a whole conversation that didn't make the episode that I was kind of bummed about because he, the black guy, he did not identify. with or associate with his sort of black culture, he felt almost like he was sort of born into the wrong body, which was a really interesting conversation with his family, like I think his mom and his sister, who were kind of, I think, a little hurt. They felt like, what's wrong with black culture? What's wrong with our family? Like, why don't you feel like this is the right place for you? And it was very interesting dynamic to kind of sort out. But needless day, that works.

This is the Bobby Vaughn Stone. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny. The pig lost the race because he pulled his one.
Starting point is 00:29:34 What? Hamstring? Hamstring. Ah, good one. That was the morning corny. There you go. Got that one. All right, voice and else.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Morning studio. I am watching the Bobby Cass with John Stamos. It is the most entertaining thing I have seen in such a long time. I also wanted to tell you I go to the gym every day. And I laugh out loud when I'm listening to the show. and after two or three days of it, because I go at the same time, so the same people are there, they finally stopped me today and asked me, what am I listening to? So I told them the Bobby Bone Show.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Love you. Thank you. That's a very kind voice, Mel. Thank you for sending that. The John Stamos Bobbycast to me is one of the most fun ones I've done in a long time. Also, because I love Uncle Jesse, and I love Full House, and he was just fun. And so you can watch that. It's on Netflix. Search for the Bobbycast.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Or if you want to listen to it only, you can search. the Bobbycast on wherever you get your podcast and listen to it. But yes, thank you for all of that. I really appreciate you sharing that with us. All right, next one. Hey, Bobby. I know this happened a while ago, but how come you didn't have a problem with Lunchbox
Starting point is 00:30:49 when he was on stage with the rest of the show accepting an award as part of the Bobby Bone show and he wears a hoodie, but he wears a tuxedo to go on the prices, Right. Price is Right. Tuxedo. National Award show, a hoodie. Would you like to respond first? Yeah, the tuxedo at Price is Right was to stick out to be different from the crowd and a hoodie at an award show.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I thought it was a nice hoodie. I got it at Nordstrom. And so I, no one told me anything otherwise. So I showed up in a hoodie. Like no one told me that I wasn't supposed to wear a hoodie. It was a nice hoodie. It was a nice hoodie. I got it at Nordstrom. And so I, no one told me. I, no one told me. I was a It was like a dress hoodie. It wasn't like a casual. A couple years ago. So we won the CMA and it did say black tie and lunchbox wore a hoodie and it was a bit, but it was real. But he did wear a hoodie. And I was like, how can you wear a hoodie to a black tie event where everybody else is dressed up?
Starting point is 00:31:49 We've moved on beyond that. I didn't know he's going to do that. The tuxedo was my idea that he wore on prices, right? Because I said you should wear a tuxedo because nobody else will. So it was not my idea from to wear a hoodie. And we've been to that award show before. Like he knows that you wear a nice suit or a tuxedo. I don't want to revisit it.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Honestly, we've done it. I still feel like they should said that in the first line of the email. It's buried in the middle of the email way down there and you just totally miss it. How did you describe the hoodie? He said it's a dress hoodie. It was like a cow pattern. It looks like an adult coloring book on a sweatshirt. I'm looking at the picture.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Everybody is in full tie suit. jewels and in the middle lunchbox is in a hoodie. I don't want to get, I don't want to get back into it. Like literally. The purpose was... Nice hoodie. I didn't know what he was wearing there.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I gave him advice on what to wear the prices right. If I could have given him advice for the CMAs, I would have said anything but a hoodie. That would have been my advice. Even a tuxedo. Question. Yeah. What if jelly roll showed up in a hoodie?
Starting point is 00:32:59 Would it be a problem? Jelly roll is an artist and is very famous. Question. You are neither of those. And would that have been, oh, okay, that's cool. Everybody would have said it's cool. You're not jelly roll. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:09 So it depends on who it is. Absolutely. That's the stupidest thing. That's life. If it's fashion, it's fashion. That's not fashion. But if jelly roll did it, it would be fashion. Because jelly roll is an artist and that is very much, I'm looking at him now.
Starting point is 00:33:23 He didn't even wear a hoodie that night. Who? Jelly roll. He wore a button up, long sleeve. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I don't want to get back into this. But that's all. Thank you for that, sir.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Sometimes people I think they know they're opening a can of worms on us and they leave them a message and they're just going, let's just see if we get them back into it. Thank you. Call us anytime. We really do appreciate that. 877, Bobby. All right. Going to go to Jennifer and Tampa who is looking for some advice. Is that correct, Jennifer? I am. Good morning, studio. Morning. I have a question. So one of my stepchildren got married a few months ago. she did not want to invite my current husband's children. She said that she wasn't that close with them and didn't think that they needed to come. Can I stop you for one second?
Starting point is 00:34:13 I just need to get my beautiful mind map going here. Your stepchild, but your current husband, is he not her dad? No, he's not. I was married first. She was under the age of five, and we were together for about 10 years. however we stayed close after we divorced. Thank you. So we are close.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yeah. So God, I just needed to know that. Yeah. A little bit. Did you need to know that? I did. I did. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Jennifer, please continue. I'm sorry to interrupt. That's okay. So again, so now I've been with my husband now for almost 11 years. And she got married a few months ago and just wasn't comfortable even though we all do family things together. Like the dynamic is the same. You know, I have children.
Starting point is 00:34:58 with my ex-husband, who are her siblings, obviously. And then, you know, my husband now, and nobody gets, and nobody gets special treatment. Everybody's treated the same. And she just didn't think that they needed to come. And so I said, well, can I cover the cost? Is it a big deal? That way, you know, it doesn't interfere with your numbers or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:35:21 And, you know, she still didn't want to do it. So it was kind of hurtful. Yep. I can see where that would be hurtful. I like you, Jennifer, and I appreciate you calling and listening. I don't think you're going to like what I'm going to say back. And I think, I hope why you called is you want unbiased opinion because we don't have a relationship, so I don't have to worry about your feelings.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And that's why I go to therapy because they don't worry about my feelings. They tell me how they feel regardless because they don't have to live with me. And Jennifer, I'm going to say this to you in that same way, respectfully. It was her wedding. That's it. If she wants somebody there, great. If she doesn't, great. You got to respect it.
Starting point is 00:35:57 you can be hurt by it. Both can be true. You can be hurt by it. And she can also say, nope, don't want them at the wedding. Not comfortable with them being there. Maybe they didn't make the cut. Whatever the reason, it's her wedding. And so now it is just a bit of a hopefully mending process if that is even needed to be had between her and the other children. Children, adults, I'm assuming, but yet the other kids. But I have a long standing statement of if it is your wedding you do whatever you want invite whomever you want don't invite whomever you want and that's showbiz baby because that is your wedding i do understand why that can be hurtful i don't think she did anything wrong so my advice to you is you don't have to
Starting point is 00:36:50 like it respect it because it was her wedding and hopefully there can be some growth if you force growth between, you try to force growth, they're going to go the opposite ways. It's magnets. It's two north sides of a magnet being shoved together. They're going to push back. But you could hopefully encourage and nurture. Maybe they have a relationship. And if they don't, that's also okay.
Starting point is 00:37:12 You can love them all the same separately. So that would be what I would say to you as respectfully as possible. Amy, you're usually smarter than me at this stuff. No, it just makes you think about a book that I recently ordered. That's why she's smarter. She goes to books. She reads books about this stuff, yeah. No, it's a guide to dating, engagement, and marriage after divorce or death of a spouse,
Starting point is 00:37:35 and it's called Mix Don't Blend. And I think a lot of times the parents, we try to blend our kids up together and make it like, okay, we force a lot. But if you look at it as mixing, so everybody, you know, promotes individual growth within the relationships and they get to be who they are. And this is a choice that your former stepdaughter was making about your. your newest husbands. Your newest husband.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I know y'all have been together 11 years, but still, those are your relationships. You don't have to force their relationship with them. Great point. I would also like to add as somebody who was a step kid. So Arkansas Keith was my stepdad for years.
Starting point is 00:38:17 And he did not become my stepdad because my mom died. They actually divorced before my mom died. And that's why I would say my former stepdad. But I've remained very close. with him. I love him. And we text and he's met Billy and that's my daughter. And so, but that being said, one of his daughters, I was close to whenever him my mom met. Then one appeared way later
Starting point is 00:38:43 and I never was close to her for a set of reasons. Part of it was just me probably being jealous that he had another kid that, I mean, even he didn't know about. It's a whole different story. But I didn't know about. And I was like, oh, I don't like. this. I finally have a, like a dad figure and now somebody else is coming in and also taking some. So there are different reasons that people don't want to mix and they don't even have to be healthy reasons, but it doesn't mean it's your fault. It doesn't mean it's your job to make them go together. It's definitely not your job to then offer to pay to try to make it work. Now you're trying to come in and control the situation so that you can, I assume you wanted your
Starting point is 00:39:21 other kids there. So that makes sense. It'd be so nice if everybody was happy, right? But we at times, even though we want to do that, we have to step back and surrender and no, it's not our day. And nobody's probably mad or upset except for you the most because you're the mom and that probably hurt your feelings. And then those feelings are for you to work through. Yeah. So our advice to you, and I'd say this first is, hey, you love those people. And that's awesome. And they're lucky to have you loving them. All those kids, I don't know how they are, but all those kids, they're lucky to have you loving and caring for all of them individually. Even your stepdaughter, who's a former stepdaughter, but a stepdaughter, that you're not
Starting point is 00:40:01 still officially, that you care that much about her too, how lucky is she? Holy crap. So you're probably a good person just from the six minutes and 33 seconds on this call. I got a timer here that tells me how long I've been talking to people. But you can't force it, but you shouldn't put the pressure on yourself to force it and just move along and everybody can be happy. I appreciate it. I think the confusing part for me was it didn't really make a difference.
Starting point is 00:40:24 difference for her and she invited her father's side of stepchildren. Yeah, you can't keep score. No keeping score. The confusing part. Okay, I get it, but no keep and score and hold it against her. It's her wedding. They are very lucky to have you in their life. I think we end on that because you care so much it bothers you. They are very lucky to have you in their life. So keep loving them all. Don't force them together. And if they do, they do. If they don't, they don't. And they all still get loved equally by you. Yeah, I feel good about my advice. Sometimes as soon as I hang up, I'm like, I don't know if I like my advice. Listen, and you're there.

Starting point is 00:44:00 kids, and I know. C, me amante. Oof! Oof! That's incredible! Yeah, the telenovela! You're the only person I know that loves a yellow Starburst.
Starting point is 00:44:12 It's flamed. I know that you say, like, I'd like to collaborate with this person. This is Sweet 305. Listen to Sweet 305 with Lele Pons as part of my Cultura Podcast Network
Starting point is 00:44:27 on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcast, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Doctors are telling people that you should not wear contact lenses on flights. Oh, really? Why? Who wears contacts here? Nobody? Not me anymore.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I tried for a while, but they only gave me one. Oh, for your good eye? Yeah, my good eye, because it's not as good as it used to be. My bad eye doesn't work at all. But I just felt lopsided. Even though I didn't really feel it, I knew I was lopsided. Eye doctors say you should think twice before wearing comely. contact lenses on airplanes because the dry, low humidity cabin air can cause the lenses to dry out,
Starting point is 00:45:04 stick to your eyes, it irritates, scratches, even infection. I wear glasses when you fly instead, if you can. For longer trips, pack a spare pair of glasses. That's the safest option. New York Post with that. Do people do that normally? Has you heard of people doing that? Because that could be something people already do.
Starting point is 00:45:20 No. None of us wear contacts, though. I mean, I used to. I had LASIC a few years back, so got rid of that. It's a pain, dude. Contacts are a pain in the butt. putting them on and then you lose one and you're like you don't have an extra one and you're driving or something is terrible. I had a brief relationship with putting one in. It was when I was doing
Starting point is 00:45:38 Breaking Bobby Bones, the TV show because I would be doing stuff and I would be climbing or jumping and my glasses would fall off. And so it was just hard to put it in. It was just weird to put it in. And you get used to it. There are millions of people listening now that have contacts and you get used to it. But thinking back when you first got contacts and how weird it was, that's what I felt like my only experience with them is weird. And then sometimes you put them on backwards, like they're inside out. You know, and you're just like, it feels weird. Is it inside out?
Starting point is 00:46:04 And then you look at it and you're like, I can't tell. Oh, that's the thing? Yeah. Hmm. The movie Obsession is now the highest grossing film of all time with the budget under $1 million. So I've not seen obsession. This is a horror movie, Mike? Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:17 This is the one they paid like a nickel for? Like $500,000. It has made $400 million. What? This is about a guy, if I'm correct here, he like makes it. He gets a genie or something makes a wish that this girl would be in love with them? He gets like his little stick and you break it, you make a wish, and then it comes true. And his wish was, I want this girl to love me more than anybody else in the world and then she gets obsessed with him.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Oh, gosh, yeah, that's a tricky wish. It's like big, but gone wrong. Right. I mean, I get it. Big was good, right? Big was awesome. Yeah, it was good. But, yeah, like you want somebody to like you, but to that, that's such an interesting concept.
Starting point is 00:46:52 And the movie's good? Really good. Does that person now get $100 million to make their next movie? She's now getting offers to be in the MCU. She might be in another movie called Heat 2. What's MCU? Marvel Cinematic Universe. She gets to be a character?
Starting point is 00:47:06 She's in talks with one of the directors. Wait, was she an actor in it as well? So she did the movie and acted in it both? She was acting. She's like the main actress in it. And she's one that put it together? No, no, no. Oh, got it.
Starting point is 00:47:17 But she's just getting a lot of attention now because the movie was so successful. It did make a lot of money for that role. but now we'll have a career. Anybody else watch it? Nope. I thought about it. When I watched 14 movies, I thought about it.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I didn't quite get to it. There's a number that I still text from time to time. It's Amy's old number, but Amy doesn't have it anymore. And people still text it thinking it's Amy and it's a kid who's probably at 13 or so. I think he just turned 13 from what my friends
Starting point is 00:47:44 have told me that have corresponded with him when they're trying to get a hold of me. And so she wanted to call him. We were like, don't call the kid. So I texted him. Yeah, don't like human. No adult conversation with the kid. So you texted him and said.
Starting point is 00:47:58 I said, hey, this is Amy. You have my old number. I've heard from some friends that you said I've been getting a lot of texts over the last year or so. I said, I never updated to people that I have my number. So I'm really sorry about that. And, you know, I thought he would reply back, but I haven't heard anything. So. And he replies back to so many people that.
Starting point is 00:48:22 have reached out thinking it's me, so I thought he would reply to me. So now you're just going to leave it alone. No, I think we should call it. No, I don't want to call a 13-year-old kid. But it's just been such an interesting story. Like he really, last week, he went back and forth to some of my friends
Starting point is 00:48:38 in a group text because he said, they were like, oh, sorry, we thought this was Amy's new number. He goes, well, now I'm invested in this story. It's pretty good. So then he was texting back and forth to them, and that's how I got so much information about how, you know, I get a lot of, a text and, you know, I know that he's yelled at my family before and threatened to call the cops
Starting point is 00:48:57 on some people. So yeah, good idea. Call them. Well, I just think if we like explain it and it's like kind of funny. Like I want to know who's been texting me. Like I want to know what what messages am I missing out on. If it's a 22 year old, hey, give it a rip. It's a 13 year old kid. I just think there's too. But we're harmless. That's what every predator says. And you're not a predator. Exactly. You're not a predator, but that's what every predator says and want you to feel. I'm harmless. Get in. No, I'm not going to. say get in and not that I'm hardland. I don't think you should call a 13 year old.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Well like do I have what if what if I have some really good text in there that we've missed out on? You know? That's on you though. I don't think you call the kid. If you do, don't tell us about it. Like what if you call it and then the mom like oh let me answer this? So should I text and knows who you are and then calls the cops and goes Amy
Starting point is 00:49:43 to the Bobby Bone Show was calling soliciting my 13 year old kid. Okay. What if I send a text and say hey just. making sure you've got my last text. You sound like a creep. Hey, did you get this? Is that 13 year old? Wait, did I text the right number?
Starting point is 00:50:00 Is it? No. She texted her real number? She starts talking back to herself. Wait, wait. I might need you to confirm my old number because I'm pretty sure. In my phone, I don't have it. It's only my laptop.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Okay, okay, okay. So I could. That could be a problem. I could pill my laptop. Because I feel like, oh yeah. Yeah, nothing. If I texted it right, He hasn't. I was pulling it up to see if maybe I missed his reply. I even said, I'm sorry if it's been annoying.
Starting point is 00:50:29 You know, I thought he'd be like, oh, it's cool, all good, but I'll see if he'll have. Oh my God. He leaves a 13-year-old alone. You seem obsessed. No. Amy was at lunch yesterday and this woman was being loud next to her. Yeah, we were at, I had a lunch meeting at a pretty nice restaurant. Like business, business moves? Yeah, I mean, it was a...
Starting point is 00:50:49 Yeah, business moves. Yeah, it was a thing. And this woman was so loud. And she was telling a story. And she was with maybe her parents. And this is a grown adult woman. And the parents were older. So I'm like, we were trying to figure out,
Starting point is 00:51:05 is she talking loud because maybe they're hard of hearing? What is behind this loud voice? So not only that, we can hear every word. And she used the R word twice in her story. She was being loud and using the R word out loud. Yes. And we were mortified. like first of all it was embarrassed we were embarrassed for her for talking so loud yeah and then we were
Starting point is 00:51:28 embarrassed for her that she was using that word yeah you got to lower the volume if you say things you don't want people that you shouldn't be saying it anyway but if you're going to say stuff like that or if you have a secret or if there's you're going to even curse yeah because it's basically lowering down their kids cursing but work that's worse than cursing and she was telling a story like ha ha ha ha laughter and I'm like how to what was the story Well, I don't know the detail. It's like you could just hear her. She was loud and you could hear certain words.
Starting point is 00:51:57 But she was very jovial and loud. And you use the R word. And use the R word. Twice. Twice. And then we're like, so now we're laughing and we're like, this is not mature. This is not mature. We don't need to be laughing at this.
Starting point is 00:52:11 But we more so are just laughing at how ridiculous it all was. I thought maybe, I mean, it's a nice enough restaurant where I thought someone might go over and be like, ma'am, could you? Could you not say the R word? or turn it down? Turn it down. Can you turn it down and say less R word?
Starting point is 00:52:25 Even without the R word, I thought they would ask her to just please be quiet. How did the business deal? That's good. Close a little deal. I'll tell you about it. It's not like that.
Starting point is 00:52:34 It's more, it's charity type stuff. A little something. But yeah. Oh, giving not making. No. Oh, making money, charity? Get it. Stop.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Tell us. Yeah. Yeah. I'll talk about that. All right. Isn't that weird? Making that money? Isn't that weird though?
Starting point is 00:52:52 What? Like, what's wrong with people? Oh yeah, what's wrong with people? For sure, for sure. And now, in eight minutes, I did eight accidental successes. This is from YouTube that I did over at Bobby Bones' channel. I just thought this is pretty interesting. So I'm going to put it here.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Don't worry. We've still got part two coming up. This is eight accidental success stories. Here you go. I have a list here of eight accidental successes, things that never should have been successful, that have become wildly successful, and they never should have been.
Starting point is 00:53:21 So if you're watching this now, you've never been successful. You never know. This could happen to you. Number eight, Airbnb. Think about this, 2007. Roommates, Brian and Joe, they were struggling to pay rent San Francisco. Who's not?
Starting point is 00:53:35 It's a really expensive place to live. A major conference had filled local hotels. There was nowhere for anybody else to stay. And so they put air mattresses in their apartment and they charge people to stay there. They called it air. bed and breakfast because the air inside the air mattresses. The idea was never intended to become a global company.
Starting point is 00:53:59 So what started as a way to make rent, because again, they were struggling to pay rent, and then there weren't enough hotel rooms for everybody there, ended up being freaking Airbnb, billions of dollars worth of Airbnb. Okay, that's number eight. I really try to do 10 here. I only got a strong eight.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Number seven, if I do, down it. I can't do that. Bant. Hold on it. Damn it. Ah, crap. I'm trying to do the guitar
Starting point is 00:54:25 like sweet child of mine, okay? It's hard to do with my mouth right now. That guitar riff should have never happened. It almost never happened. Slash, big hat, top hat,
Starting point is 00:54:37 long black hair, Guns and Roses guy. He was fooling around during rehearsal playing what he considered just a goofy warm-up exercise. And so as he was playing that,
Starting point is 00:54:49 The rest of the band, they were already there, so they just jumped in and started playing around his finger warm up. And so what began as a joke was the foundation of Sweet Child of Mine. And Guns and Roses, I think, only number one Billboard Hot 100 song. They had a bunch of rock number ones. But I think that's their only song to ever go number one on the Billboard Hot 100, like pop charts. So it's one of the most recognizable songs ever,
Starting point is 00:55:18 most recognizable guitar licks ever, and it was accidental. It was just slash, I still can't get there with my mouth. Number six, Google image only ever happened because, well, sort of an accident. And it all goes back to the year 2000 when Jennifer Lopez was wearing that green dress where you can like see the insides of her boobs. That was a Versace dress. And that image got so famous from the Grammy Awards that so many people looked up, in their Google search bar green dress that it exposed the people just wanted to see pictures, not news articles. And so there weren't a lot of articles about the dress, but there was the picture.
Starting point is 00:56:02 And because of overwhelming demand, Google did, okay, we'll just do a Google image search as well. So because of that, because of that red carpet green dress that Jennifer Lopez wore, Google image was created. Number five, microwave ovens should have never happened. this story's crazy. Let's go back to 1945. There was an engineer named Percy and he was working with radar technology and as he's working
Starting point is 00:56:26 God loved a chocolate bar. Kevin his pocket but he would work with his radar technology and he would notice that the chocolate bar continued to melt which told him something's hot here. Also probably killed all of a sperm but
Starting point is 00:56:44 melt of the chocolate bar a few times. Then he started experimenting with popcorn kernels and eggs. And so that microwave technology ended up being the microwave we know now. So completely by accident, every modern kitchen now has a microwave. I'm not sure if that dude ever had kids after the whole chocolate bar thing, but it was a melted chocolate bar a few times in a row in his pants that ended up giving us the microwave. And number four, WD40. WD stands for water displacement in case. you didn't know. And I didn't know. And the formula that ended up working was the 40th attempt. So water displacement 40th, 40th is WD 40. Engineers were trying to create this compound that would
Starting point is 00:57:35 prevent rushed and corrosion on their aerospace equipment. They had 39 versions, 39 times, two, three, four, five, at this point you're wondering, is he going to do 39? six, seven, eight, nine, ten, now you're going, I bet he's going to do 39 because he's already done 10, 11, 12, we'll stop at 12 because if you're OCD, that's going to drive you crazy. So 39 versions failed on the 40th, that was the one. It was still solid after thousands of attempts, but that 40th one's the one that hit, and that's where WD 40 comes from, water displacement, 40th attempt, boom, never supposed to be a thing. Number three, Plato. Before kids were squishing the snakes and dinosaurs, Plato was sold as wallpaper cleaner.
Starting point is 00:58:23 You take it. Put it up on the wallpaper. Mostly, back in the day, homes were heated with coal. So as the coal was heating up and it would go onto the wallpaper, you had to somehow get the coal off the wall. So that's what Plato was. That was its original use. But then kids started playing with it. as they often do, and then turning the coal cleaner into, again, dragons and dinosaurs and race cars, and they sold a lot more because kids wanted to play with it. And if your walls still have coal to this day, try it out. I bet it still works. Plato, never supposed to be a kid's toy, was only supposed to be a wall cleaner. Number two, super glue. During World War II, scientists were attempting to develop clear plastic gun sites, for the military. So on their weapons, obviously now,
Starting point is 00:59:20 if you think of a gun, you think of the gun side, it's metal, it's got a little, that thing. They wanted them to be clear. And they were, but one of the chemicals that they created was unbelievably sticky
Starting point is 00:59:30 and it kept ruining experiments because it was bonding to whatever weapon or anything that it touched at all. So it was a massive failure because of what they were trying to create. Years later, one of the guys goes,
Starting point is 00:59:45 hey, you know that thing that was, super sticky what if we actually used it to be sticky what if we used it as an adhesive and that's exactly what they did so it was never meant to be super glue was meant to be a gun site that was clear and it just kept sticking everything number one we're at one now bubble wrap originally bubble wrap wasn't for packages at all in 1957 inventors were trying to create a trendy textured wallpaper and they thought why don't we seal air bubbles between two plastic shower curtain type things.
Starting point is 01:00:22 And so the wallpaper idea flopped, obviously. That would be so annoying. But they realized that that material would be great for protecting items if they were shipping it. And so that's exactly what they did. So what was failed as a home decor product became one of the most recognizable packing materials in the world. So those are eight things that accidentally succeeded.
Starting point is 01:00:44 And if you're out there and you've never succeeded. you might accidentally succeed to. Probably not, but you never know. Bobby Boneshow. Bonehead. Norrie up the day. This story comes us from Shawnee, Kansas. A woman wanted to do some remodeling in her garden,
Starting point is 01:01:01 put some new flowers in, so she gets in the car, drives up to the mall, mall's closed, gets her shovel out, and digs up all the plants. The plants that were at the mall? The landscaping plants. You know they have flowers.
Starting point is 01:01:16 hours outside the mall, she dug them up. Yeah, the ones of the mall, they weren't selling. It was just to make the mall look better. Right, right. She dug them up with a shovel, put them in her car, drove them home. I shouldn't do that. And the only problem is they got her license plate, and they said this is the third time she's done it. Oh, wow.
