Just have to say, Amy's psychic powers doing it again. My son just let me know, Rory McElroy, however you say it, is three strokes ahead going into the last day.

So crazy, Amy, I'm impressed. Keep killing it. Bye. Yeah, we'll talk about that in a minute too, but you did it. It made me a lot of money. Good job, Amy. Thank you. Next one.

Friday's easy trivia. I didn't think it was very easy, but it sure was hilarious. Good job, guys. Keep it up. to do cartoon voices. Yeah, right? She sounds like one. Yeah. She doesn't have to do anything other than just talk normal. That is a funny voice. Uh, thank you. In a complimentary way. Yeah, it's unique. Yeah. You mean not. Like taking a shot at her. I know, I'm just clarifying, because I can tell by your tone or not, but. But when you clarify, it makes it sound like maybe I was. Well, because

what, I just know what it's like sometimes depending on someone's filter, she's going to hear like, oh man, he thinks I have a funny voice. No, I think she has a funny voice. But she might, her filter might be like, oh yeah, Bobby thinks I have a great voice. My filter now is going crazy. What do you? You do you just, my filter's full now. No need. Okay.

I'll stop talking. Yeah, thank you. How's your weekend? It was good. Yeah, what'd you do? I mean, mostly just entertained because we had boys spending the night at the house, both nights, which is rare to extend that. Two nights.

Yeah. To, yeah, you can invite someone over Friday night and you can invite someone over a Saturday night. and then Oh, they were different boys, not the same ones? Okay, that makes more sense. Oh. I thought it was a two-night stay-over. Me too, yeah.

Oh, no. But it's still, like, once you do the one, then you sort of like, okay, you're good for the weekend. And they were going into tests this week. So last night I made him go to bed early because I want him to be rested for testing this week. And I got the Sunday night. Yeah.

We had to go to bed early because he was up late Friday and up late Saturday. Oh, just him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought the kids were over against. No, no, no, no, no. So then did that clean out the garage a little bit, almost died. But I'm fine.

All right, we'll move on then. Almost died. No, what happened? On Earth. On our way to church, that was the scariest moment for my weekend. Oh, flying hubcap. Yeah. You guys heard this story?

Uh-uh. So we're driving down the highway, and now I'm wondering if this was a screw from the hubcap. It's sort of like we had like a, the wheel was falling apart because something hit my windshield that I thought was a rock, like a teeny tiny pebble of sorts. But now I'm wondering if it was a screw from the hubcap falling loose in the car ahead of us because then next thing you know, this hubcap comes flying towards me, but there's nothing I can do about it. I can't swerve because there's traffic around me.

So I just have to run over it. Thankfully, it was low to the ground and didn't hit my windshield. but it did puncture my passenger rear tire, and I didn't realize that until a few hours later after church. That sucks. So you were driving on a flat tire? Yeah, on the highway. And then I see my morning going down like negative four,

negative five, negative six, negative seven for my tire pressure. And then we get home and I get out and I look. And sure enough, there is something, it's not a nail. It's something maybe from the, hubcap i'm not sure it's just like this piece like stuck wedged in my tire so i'm getting that fixed today um i had to get a ride to work and yeah i was gonna call eddie yeah i was gonna ride to work yeah i was gonna call eddie and be like can you pick me up he only does it on snow days what day was this today today oh i could have totally done that yeah i would help you so anyways

that was the weekend i'm like sorry i'm out it's fine it's fine but it was scary i was really proud of myself we're keeping cool though like I thought you know my overreact and swerve but I kept my cool and I just was like you know well here we are we're going to run over it do you really think you almost died

though like no I am thankful her point is she didn't react in a way of something coming at her car our natural reaction instinctually is to swerve out of the way but there were cars all around her last time I had something flying at my car I just like closed my eyes and waited for it to be over but I was alone

Not safe. That's why she could have died. But I think this time because I had two kids in my car, I was more, I was alone during that. But I had two kids and I remember making the distinct decision to be like, okay, I'm running over this. I'm just going to run over it. And I mean, it made a loud noise and then flew out. But then I'm like, what makes a hubcap go loose? Which then I was like, oh.

Oh, really? Yeah. Because you were talking about a screw. Most of the time hubcaps don't, are they not screwed in? They're just kind of like, they snap on. So when the tire hits a pothole They pop off So it probably was a rock that hit my window

Probably I used to lose so many hubcaps I used to have a Plymouth laser Sounds awesome And you would lose a lot of hubcaps All the time I don't even know what that is

A laser I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure it was a Plymouth laser Was it fast It looked kind of fast I bought it used It looked kind of cool But I don't know if you

Can pull a picture of it up behind me And the hubcaps came If I hit a rock, the hubcap came off. I was constantly going back and like... Picking them up. Well, I was like going back through my track. Like, what do you call it? Tracing your steps.

Uh-huh. I would find it. To find it. Well, that's what I thought about the person who lost the hubcap and then I ran over it. And I was like, well, who... They're going to probably want that back. I didn't know how to help them. But it was a, you know, it happened so fast.

I mean, the kids didn't even... They just heard the thut-to-tum. And then, like, obviously then when we got home and the... tire was going flat, they were like, what happened? And I'm like, remember on the way to church, we hit that hubcap and then, oh, there it is. I got the laser. The Plymouth laser? Yeah.

Yeah. That's it? That's it, dude. I was proud of that thing. Tell me you were jamming some Von Jovi when you were driving that thing. I never jam Bon Jovi. That's too old for you? Yeah.

My freaking mic stand, I'm about to throw it through a window. It will not stay up. We got to get, we got to invest in better equipment here. Yeah, I was so, I worked hard for that thing. It's like my third car. A lot of hooty. A lot of hooty in there? A lot of hooty in there?

It does look fast. Yeah, I never got a ticket though. You know what my mom just told me? She said she got one ticket her whole life. And it was a warning. It's not a ticket. Well, she got pulled over once.

Pulled over. That's what that was. I mean, they literally do give you a ticket. A warning ticket. A warning ticket. That's amazing. Like, she's in her 70s.

Maybe that's why she was counting it because they did give her a piece of paper. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. let's do some news. Go ahead. Okay, so you know the AI model, Claude. I use it all time.

Okay, so it's like there's different versions. Just chat TPT and then there's Claude. Well, Claude has something called the Claude Mythos. And the company that owns Claude is called Anthropic. And they put out a warning that in the wrong hands, this could be used to break into phones, bank accounts, medical records and more, which is really crazy.

So they're not releasing the mythos. publicly yet. That's good. That's good. They're giving. I mean, like the government going, hey, we know about these bombs that could kill everything, but we're not going to release the ingredients of how to do this. Yeah. Instead of releasing it publicly, they're giving more than 40 companies, including competitors like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon exclusive access to help identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. And I thought, all this is awesome and scary at the same time. Although you could use AI to, hey, AI, what's the best way that people can't find this by using AI? Like, we're going to have to use AI at some point to tell us what is AI. Does that make

sense? Is it going to tell us? Well, it's like drug testing and athletes, right? You have to stay one step ahead of the testing at all times. And if you ever get caught, you're an idiot. So AI is going to have to do that. But mostly teachers now are using AI too to see if students are using AI on their papers. So as bad as AI can be, as good as AI can be. I think a lot of times it gets lost in how great AI is. AIs existed for 15, 20 years, just not

at the level that's easily accessible for everybody. But it has helped so many times in the medical world. What we, though, is we're like, no, AI has created a version of Donald Trump pumping a moose. That can't be real. It's that

type stuff. But AI really has been great and what's been used for the last 15, 20 years, it's been in all the algorithms for all of our social media forever. But yes, AI is also used to tell us what is AI. But what they're going to have to do to cheat is to say one step ahead, much like drug testing and using. Speaking of AI and Trump, did you see he made an AI image of himself looking like Jesus? And his hand is like on a guy like healing him. First he fought with the Pope last night. Yeah. And then secondly, he created a picture of him as Jesus, healing a person.

It's like a kid. It's just unwell behavior. I mean, I don't care who you're for or not. You have to recognize it. It's not even that. It's like, don't fight the Pope. There's no need to fight the Pope. There's a lot of people you can get into it.

And I can be like, I agree or disagree. I understand why there's beef. Some of these beefs are just for theatrics. Yes. They don't even really dislike each other. There's no need to fight the Pope. There isn't. So, yeah, I saw that.

last night. A.I. The image. He's the AI. Inviting the Pope is real. His prompt was, can you make me look like Jesus? And it's literally him as Jesus.

With like jets in the background. And his hand healing somebody on their head. And the person does look like, it's not. It's not. I'm just going to say again, it's not. It does look like Jeffrey Epstein though. Wait a second. I was too busy looking at it.

But that's what everybody was saying. It looks like Jeffrey Epstein with a beard. It's just a dude. But it does kind of have those. Like, do you see it? I don't have to pull it up in a second, but I mean, I recall it in my head enough, but... People on the internet, but he did make that image and post it. Yeah.

All right. Lunchboxes. Ooh, there's a pilot. Been flying for 40 years for Icelandic air. Final flight from Frankfurt, Germany, back to Iceland. He's retiring, so he wants to do a little tribute to his village. Say goodbye. Fly over his childhood home.

You all right? There you go. Yeah. So on his final flight as he's coming in, he gets the plane down to 300 feet off the ground. That's barely off the ground. No bueno. This is like a passenger plane. Yeah.

Oh, there's passengers. Just because he wants to give a tribute to his little village and his childhood home. He flies over everything and he brings it so low to the ground and the passengers started freaking out thinking they were crashing. Yeah. I would think that too. But, you know, it is his last day. Like, what does he care? You know what are they going to do fire him?

It's like the last day of school. You thought you could just fight. it's called fight day at school because the last day where are they going to do suspension for the rest of the year with problems the kids would get suspended at the beginning of next year. That's like when my ex-husband was getting out of the Air Force, they do like a final flight as a pilot with like his team.

And the kind of plane they flew like a cargo plane with like, you know, like a thing comes down to where you can like, guys can sit on the back side with their feet hanging out. And they came and flew over. And I took video of it. And then he was like, you can't do anything with that. because what they were doing was not legal, but sort of tradition in a way.

I love a legal tradition. It's sort of like, oh, it's, you know, his final flight. So they pretty much flew as low level to our house as you can, which was very similar to that. Like, it was actually kind of scary. Like, I could see them his crew. Like, he was flying, but then his friend, I knew him, he was, like, hanging out the back.

Like, it was like a cargo type plane. Their feet were dangling at the top of the house. Yeah. I mean, but it was so low and so crazy and so loud. But they were used to flying that low because when you're dropping people and things, like you can fly low like that to where I don't know that this commercial pilot, they used to flying low through neighborhoods and stuff. But you don't know.

He's not used to it. Yeah. That's true. But, yeah, it just made me think of that memory and how I had video of it and I couldn't do anything with it. I wonder if I could now. I probably would know. Yeah, I'd probably bury that one. Yeah, no need.

They're divorced now. Yeah. You could have used that for leverage in the divorce, I think, so you get to kept a few more forks or something. I wouldn't. Eddie. Okay, so the astronauts came back, Artemis, you know, the whole moon trip and everything, and they did a press conference. I don't know if you guys saw this clip, but one of the astronauts was talking about just the craziest thing that she experienced while she was up there was just looking back at the earth and saying how it just crazy, how it looked just. floating and it made her think and she like got emotional while she was talking she said it

kind of looked like earth was a life a lifeboat and she kind of like stayed quiet for a little bit and then said planet earth you are a crew and everyone was just like yeah and I'm like what did she mean by that and I know she meant like we're together as one on earth floating in this dark space or whatever. But I really thought she was going to say, like, are we alone? Or we're not alone. Oh, nice. And the fact that she said, we are a crew, it made me feel like, whoa, like, are we a crew

against the aliens? Oh, I think she just was saying we should all work together and be a team. Yeah, like, let's unite instead of being so divided. It would be bizarre to see Earth fully removed because you would just see the ball floating in black. Right. And that's what made her emotional. Because even when I'm like, I'm like, you know, like, it's not.

like flying over a bunch of houses in an airplane. I look down in neighborhoods and I'm like, man, you guys are a crew. But you've never thought that. No, no, no, no, but it is crazy because you're up on. You're like, man, all these little people have different lives that ever in their entire world is happening in that house. It is the biggest thing happening. Everything that's going on is that and but there's a thousand of them and just what I can see. Like there's a thousand massive events happening because every person has a massive event happening in their life. And that's just from me flying on Southwest, you know, about to land in Nashville. but imagine being over the whole earth

and it is to see the earth separated from it's just floating in black that'd be crazy in darkness that'd be crazy and then you and then like to your point you're thinking there are all of these people in this little little little little and they all have lives that are of great magnitude to each person living it

see I thought the opposite I thought of like that would make me feel like wow the things that we worry about and the little things that like ruin our days are really like look when you step out that big like look it's not that big of a deal they're minuscule they're so small compared to what we make them in our heads unless you're dying well that that's a big part of it your family's dying i understand i'm talking about like being late for like school and we're like gosh we're all late for school we're freaking out it ruins the whole day yeah sometimes i'm just like sometimes when i jump high enough i'm like we're a crew

you look down at all of us is that i got a good good jump. I think that's what she meant by that though. I really thought she was going to say like, we are not alone. I watched the whole Bieber performance at Coachella is awesome. And I saw people hating on it because it was minimal and that was purposeful. First of all,

Justin Bieber can sing as good as anybody else. It's crazy. How great of a vocalist he is. So, he headline Coachella Saturday night and I'm not a Coachella guy. I've never been to Coachella. We did play stage coach. Same place the week after. But

night one was Sabrina Carpenter Night 2 was Beber. Was last night Carol G? Who was last night? Carol G? So watch the whole thing. My wife was like, I want to watch the Bieber performance

because we had only seen clips. It was the coolest thing when he was playing YouTube videos and singing along with them. The dude was created on YouTube. He was found on YouTube. And it wasn't just that he was singing along with his videos of like his music videos.

He was going back and singing along with videos of him as a kid posting the YouTube videos. So like when he's sitting on a couch, the video that got him discovered, he was singing along with. in the concert. A video of him doing so sick from Neo at a high school, or like a junior high talent show, all these videos that made him who he is, it was awesome and almost emotional. And then he has so many hits. And country artists do this and nobody gets on their balls about it.

They'll go, well, we'll have 30 number one, so I'm going to do like a medley and do four songs inside of a song so everybody can at least hear it. That's all he was doing. He has so many freaking hits, he sat down and he wasn't really on YouTube. It was a program they had built out, but it looked like it. And he'd type in baby, and then, doom, and the video would come up. And it's crazy to watch him sing outwardly with him being

14, 12. So much younger. He was. Probably 14. Yeah. Whoa, whoa. And his voice is high. And now he's doing it as like an adult man. Is heber 30? He's kind of universally. He's 32. Universally a kid because he was

so famous and found as a kid. Because I'm telling you, I don't have, I'm not a believer. One, he's so good as a vocalist. And two, it is emotional to watch because you know that that dude has been through some crap, hardcore crap, adults doing terrible things to him, him having to grow up from 12, 13 years old, not having a childhood. And him going back and reliving that entire timeline, it was one of the best Coachella performances I've ever seen and how it connected. And so if you haven't seen that part. The part of his new music, I know a lot of his new music, because my wife listens to those albums, and I'm in the Yukon, I know like half those songs. But the part we was going back

with in singing his old songs and he would do like a verse chorus, it was a plus. It was one of the best I've ever seen. But I did see people going like, all he did was get him and play YouTube videos. Just not true. Like it was purposefully because of where he came from. And his point was to show from the inception of Justin Bieber as an artist the first YouTube that ever was up all the way to now it was A-plus one of the best I've ever seen

Mike did you watch it? Yeah I thought it was really cool too I think his recent performances have been more performance art where they have like a very unique theme like when he did the Grammys he just brought out like a mirror and he was like an underwear I feel like he has this thing that he's going for like every performance I'm going to do is going to be memorable in some kind of art form is so cool him singing back with those videos of him as a kid,

not produce videos, like the people would just record on a game quarter they got him discovered. That's one of my favorite things I've ever seen. Yeah, it's awesome. And so, I don't know, I don't know if you guys watched any of it at all, but when I would see, when I woke up, because I don't watch it live. When I woke up, I saw everybody hating on it because it was like, Bieber just played YouTube's

and he got paid like 10 million to do the, because it's two nights. You have to do each weekend. He had paid 10 million rumored the highest ever. And I was like, man, he didn't put any money. Maybe he just wanted to save money on production. But no, it was a whole, the whole point of it. It was so good.

He looked happy and healthy. And then he brought it a couple guys that played guitar. He played guitar and he played guitar and I think, I don't like you. He's a good piano player, good guitar player. It was awesome. So if you read things like it sucked, it's just people not wanting to like Justin Bieber. But isn't he such a good singer?

Yeah. The clubs I saw, like I couldn't believe how great he sounded. You almost forget how talented is vocally because of all the other stuff surrounding him at times. Sabrina Carpenter was really, her, it looked like the beginning of her performance was a production

that would roll into her performance, but it was all live. Like it was black and white and it was her getting out of these old school cars and you're like, oh, it's her, this is the production on the screen until she walks out. But it just changed,

it was the whole time. That's cool. And she would like step on the light and then it kind of went to a grease thing. Will Farrell came out. Susan Saranan played an old version are these are

better than the Super Bowl halftime show or they're at least the same as Super Bowl halftime shows as far as production message,

that type thing. It's that I should say it's that type of investment as an artist would do for the Super Bowl

halftime show. So it is fantastic. The beginning of the B performance if you don't listen to his new music probably not for you because it's just him

vocally. It looked like inside of a skate park but I don't think that's what that really was. Very minimal screens around them. But man, when he went to the YouTube stuff,

which was what he was getting crushed for the most, it was the absolute best. And so I give it A plus. But then I wonder, is he going to do the same set next weekend? Like exactly the same. I feel like you'll change it. He has to a little bit, right?

I think so. He was responding to memes of himself too, wasn't he? I don't know. I saw clips of him doing, like, basically responding to that video of him being like, is it not clocking to you? he was responding on stage to that mean. That was great too because that wasn't even a video of him doing music.

He was showing like old paparazzi videos. So I loved it. It was cool. Justin Bieber's cool. Sometimes I worry about him. Still, but it's cool. I don't know.

What else? I don't know what else want to say. I saw some of Teddy swims. Oh, that was cool. He brought out Vanessa Carlton. He brought out Joe Jonas, I think, came out and sang with him. I hope this doesn't affect it

And it won't But I hope it doesn't cancel But Vanessa Carlton's gonna come To a bobby cast with me I've never met her That's awesome We've tried for a long time Vanessa Carlton does

I could walk into the Thousand miles Yeah there you go You know what it is Just to be with you Yeah So Anything else from Coachella

That either Morgan or Mike probably saw Road. No, I saw the Sabrina Carpenter. I also saw that she decked out an entire gas station with her stuff. It was like all Sabrina. And I don't know, because obviously it wasn't there. I don't know if it was a real gas station or if it was one that they created, but there was old cars there. They turn it into like, it was like Sabrina Hollywood. I mean, she took over the entire city. Like I was really impressed with, I think I'm always impressed with marketing the way that they come about promoting themselves. And she just like took over the entire. city when there's how many artists there and it was it was almost like it was just a Sabrina show it is really hard to get out there Coachella yeah it's not it's an india california india yeah yeah it sucks so those billboards are so expensive on the way out there's just nothing out there except those billboards and so artists buy those billboards now they turn them over pretty quick but it is it's i don't even like i mean i've never been a festival guy but now that sounds like oh yeah when i was younger that's i'm induable

for sure. Younger? I don't even want to do it younger, but now. Definitely not. No, thank you. I'd rather go to a soccer game. Some people have those like,

they got the car camping spot, so they parked their car and then they set up tents and they're sleeping out there and they're using these like community showers and, like, are in these trailers. It's a young man's game for sure.

They look like they're having fun though. But even as a young man wasn't my game. I was never in that game. So, yeah, just some thoughts. from watching Coachella back, because they do have like a Coachella replay channel. I think it's on YouTube

where you can just watch the whole performance shot from the Coachella cameras. Yeah. I mean, I've seen it before. I didn't see it this year, but I've seen it before live when they stream it live. It's pretty cool. I saw Sabrina doing ACL Fest live, and that was really cool.

Luke Combs was doing ACL Fest. I love it when they stream festivals live. Because, I mean, I'm like in my bed. I'm not in that crowd. I love it. Did you see that? I think it's Selena Gomez that got, and I need to verify it that she got almost kicked out.

Okay, so I need you to verify this too because I saw it too where and then supposedly it's an Instagram story, but then everybody fakes everything so much where security got her wouldn't let her in. I didn't care enough to continue evaluating if it was real or not. I did go down into the comments and people were like, if she put that up as an Instagram story, it's no longer there. so I would bet based on what I saw that did not happen okay it seemed like it didn't and it was going viral

it's fake yeah because Bieber was playing everybody knows the Selena Bieber stuff is going to get play so I think that's probably what they were hoping is that that caught on so it wasn't real yeah and it would shock me if she would post it because of all the stuff around it that she would post that she was trying to watch him I don't know so yeah not real Mike yeah not real Morgan big screenshot good deal A woman bit into a nature valley

Crunchy granola bar And found some crunchy nature, a bird feather Ooh, nature valley You want nature? There it is. You should pay extra. You should have to go back and give them an extra dollar I'd be like, oh, was my lucky day.

Because you get the most nature of all. Shocked and disgusted, she shared the discovery online and criticized the manufacturer. Something else, I don't know how scandalous or salacious this is. But Morgan says she found out a secret about somebody. I just don't know what the secret is. So I don't know if...

About one of us? Yeah. I learned a big secret about someone from the show. Is all I know. Yeah. Let's hear it. What if it's you? Are you willing to take that risk?

I guess so. You have to confess if it's you. I love that everybody's like, wait, what? That's happening? Who is it about? It's about lunchbox. Okay, we're in then. Go ahead.

But it's not... We automatically... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. What is it? Wait, you're looking at it. me. It's because of Eddie. So you know how Eddie was doing his big voice acting show, the podcast? Do you know about this? I do know about it. And the fact that she's bringing this up is I'm not

doing her podcast anymore. I'm going to declare right now I'm not doing it. If she brings this up, I'm not doing the podcast anymore. I'm helping you out because I know listeners are going to call it out. So he mentioned on Best Vits that he's doing that voice acting for the podcast, right? For some random podcast. It's called the void. Yeah. And I guess the guy mentioned to Eddie that He wanted to also get lunchbox a role in doing it. And Eddie said no. You can't ask lunchbox to be a voice actor. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, wouldn't you? You're the start. You already have it. So like, you already have it. No. It's not a threat to you. I was like, no, it is.

That's the threat. Eddie's scared. I said, why do you want lunchbox? You don't, he did honestly. Why he probably wants, he wants more people on the show because the person will get more us talking about the podcast. Right. And I was like, nah, you don't want to do that.

You don't want to do that. Well, I mean, I think you blocked her for a different reason. I also don't want everybody on. on the show, getting on the podcast. Exactly. Something that we're not even involved in. That's what I'm saying. No, that's not what you're saying.

You're blocking him. Because you're a hater. Yes. Because you're a hater. I'm like, no, man, you don't want lunchbox. He's going to take over the whole show. He's going to, like, overdo things. You don't want him on the, you don't want him on here.

That's a hater. You're a hater. You know who's a real hater? Morgan. Like, I thought I was talking to her. Wait, did you say it on the microphone? On the microphone. Yeah, I know, but it's just between us.

It's not then. it's out there. So that's not a secret. Yeah, it'll take two seconds for listeners to start emailing that in. Well, they didn't. And Morgan did. I would email things in on me. If I say something on there, they're like, oh. And I just said it, you know, in passing, just like, yeah, I mean, he mentioned it. And I was like, no, you don't want to do that. So he said, yeah, you probably right. Well, you did it for a hater reason, but I would have suggested it not happen anyway because we can't have everybody from the show doing some random dude's podcast who is just wanting people on the show so he gets more clicks on his podcast.

Do you think that's why he has me? Probably. Not because of my voice acting talent? I mean, now you're low to mid. You know, my son did say, like, dad, you're popping off these days. Oh, here we go. You know, like, Bobbycast, you're on Netflix. You're doing this voice acting thing.

Like, you're killing it, dad. The fact that you would compare the two hurts my feelings. What do you mean? I don't think this. I don't think it's the fact that I'm doing this guy's podcast. I think it's that I'm doing voice acting. You're not voice acting on the Netflix show. No, no, no, on this other podcast.

So it's like, yeah, I'm on a radio show in the mornings. That's awesome. Are you getting paid? For what? For what? This guy's podcast. Oh, whatever they make. Like, whatever that percentage we talked about.

Yeah. Which is why he wants people on it. To make more? Yeah. Because you talk about it and more people go over to it. I mean, it's not a dumb move on his part. I know, but he didn't say anything. Amy, like I think of Amy, like, sure, a female counterpart would be cool.

Like, I'm not worried about that. Amy's getting offended as now. I would do it. You would do it, right, Amy? Yeah. And I would be like, Amy would be great at it. Yeah, because you're a hater because you are a hater. Yeah, you are a hater.

Because you blocked him for a different reason. I blocked him because why is he going to jump up? Would he let me go on Price's the Right with him? No, as a matter of fact, he didn't, well, he didn't want you even going to, no, no, it is kind of. You all hate, hate on each other for different reasons. No, exactly. Because when we said, we said, we're going to. and then Amy lunchbox starts freaking out going we can't send her we can't send her right because guys

that was me like saying oh my gosh she'll get on there before me it was a joke I already knew I was on so I didn't give a crap she went yeah you did but I really didn't like that was the joke didn't want you to go the same reason Eddie didn't want him on same deal you all don't want other people to get stuff so you can have your thing right because if you get on prices right after he's been on it takes away some of his shine for him getting on because he's the one that got on okay well it's not only that though like like I got my own Netflix show would you want me they're They were like Netflix, hey, we kind of want to do the same thing. That'd be awesome.

That'd be awesome. Yes. You'd be like, no, no, no, no, no. Yes, because I'm not insecure about it. That's what you are. You're insecure. I'm not insecure. You are.

I think it would be awesome. Have they asked you that? About you? Yeah, yeah. Like, hey, that guy that you do the music talk with. I don't think it's come up yet. Oh, nothing? Yet, that's nice.

Yeah, it hasn't come up yet, but it possibly could. And it's, it all came from a question of like, a listener asked, like, are you jealous of lunchbox? And I said, no, I'm not jealous of lunchbox. You are. But I did do this one thing and that's what I said. The jealousy does go around within the room. I've had it before. The jealousy?

Jealousy bug? Yeah. I don't know what. But I mean, that's just information for me. And I've leaned into it sometimes a little too much. But then I, like if, it depends on if. Who would you get jealous of? Hormonally, what's going on?

You. No, not you. You shouldn't be jealous of anybody. Hey. Yeah, you got the room with a bottle. Is me and you talking here? So, stop. Hey.

No. Is it me? No. It's not. You have a room with a butler. What do you want? I mean, come on. No, I'm admitting that I think.

So give us an example. You were just saying it happens in the whole room and I'm admitting. No, I'm saying everybody comes toward, like it just goes. Eddie gets jealous. I don't get jealous of Eddie. They get jealous of you and your opportunities. Eddie, I think you should admit that maybe there is something. It's not jealousy.

It's more competition. Like I'm competitive. Okay. You're jealous. It's not jealousy. Yeah. It could be a little bit of that. You're jealous because you're worried I'm an outshine you.

and that's why you're like, oh, I can't do it. Insecurity. We all have them in different ways. Yes, and I think that depending on what's going on in your life at the moment, like what your filter is at the moment and, yeah, for me hormonally, because sometimes when I'm out of it and I'm in a better place, I'm like, why was I thinking that way? I built a whole story. Where do you be jealous of?

It's kind of lunchbox? There's no lunchbox? Like, everybody at different points. You shouldn't be jealous of anyone. Okay. Bobby? Have you been jealous of Bobby? No.

That's because that's different. He, like, I don't. You don't want? He showed me his stress levels from running the show. That's okay. I'm good. But also, I don't. Hey, you're good.

Okay, never mind. What about us? Are we good? No. Yes, no, good. Everybody's good. We don't need to, everybody has their own. Everybody has their own.

Lane. Lane. You're like my kids, dude. In a different role. And we should be supporting each other. not being jealous of each other. I agree with that. We do support each other though.

Yeah, both. Both can happen. Yeah, we do that. But you definitely hated it on lunchbox. I blocked him. You hated. I felt like I had my thing there. Yeah. And like, he didn't need lunchbox in it.

You know what I mean? That's my thing. Yeah, you hated on him. That's showbiz, baby. That's showbiz, baby. He haters on people. You hate her on him. He haters on you.

You guys hate her on Morgan sometimes. It's all hater. That's okay, though. never hated on Morgan. Morgan went on a trip to cover a red carpet and you were like,

oh my God, is she going to Vegas to do this? How come I don't get to do that crap? Do you remember that? No, I don't remember that. It was probably true. All right. Let us take a break.

We're going to do a couple things. And then we're also going to do I'm going to do the full ACM preview. So let's take a break. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart. IR Radio. Canada's number one streaming app

And for more, follow Timbo Slic Life 12 and the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. The Bobby Bone Show. Everybody wrote. A couple things. One, Casey Musgraves had some UFOs chasing her plane. This happened on Friday, so we weren't able to get to it. And I saw the video and the pictures. And then people, like they always will. They will find the quote unquote real reason. And so people were like, no, it's Starlink. No, it's. That's bizarre looking.

Yeah, it was. When the video came out. Well, and she said she also talked to the pilots and they had had experiences with them too. And they were flying. Like one was like, I was coming from here. The other guy was like, I was in New York. And they were perplexed by it, it seemed, is the way she was telling the story. But she, what I loved is she's like, I see things all the time.

Yeah, see, that's where you get in trouble. No. No, I don't think so because I think... No, no, I know. I know. And justice for Casey. Yeah, you have to be open to. I think the more open you are to it, which seems like she is, the more you see. Yeah, but it's people that see stuff all the time that you don't believe because if it happens all the time, we think we would see something. Yeah, but then she comes with video evidence. The video evidence. And justice for Casey, this was weird.

But like Eddie's brother saw a UFO. Yeah, yeah, but all that stories start with, I was having a couple beers and I saw blank. Yeah. You know. Well, my cousin's seen them. Your cousin's a psychic. And she's sober. Yeah.

Casey Mutchgraves made headlines over. Well, she's a psychic. She claims to be, just so all the listeners know, when I say she's a psychic, I don't really think she's a psychic, but I can't prove she's not. Yeah, but the UFOs have nothing to do with her. But my point is. Ability to. I know.

I just wanted to tap into higher levels of conscious. That's context that needs to be shared, though. Sure, share that context. But I'm saying, aside from the higher level of consciousness, she claims to obtain, Eddie's brother's stories start with alcohol. Hers do not. She is sober. But hers start with I'm a psychic.

Yeah, so it's almost like the alcohol thing. I know what I'm saying. Okay, okay, I see your point. I see her point. Casey Musgraves made headlines over the weekend when she not only made claims her jet was followed by UFOs, but posted videos of the encounter. They were 50,000 feet up.

We watched them for 45 minutes. The orbs were coming and going, forming triangle patterns. So I'm with Casey. Justice for Casey. I think she saw what she saw. And there's videos. With arrows Follow the arrow

Follow your arrow Is what I would say Yeah Follow your arrow So there's that That's number one Now speaking of psychics I asked Amy

Randomly On Thursday morning I said Go into your sports psychic brain And pick a letter Any letter And she picked a letter

R So I put a hundred bucks On Rory McElroy To win the Masters Just because you said R I wouldn't have Because he won it

Last year There's only been Three other times Until this time That's happened In the history Oh okay So a little bit, I was like, yeah, she can't, that's probably not going to be right.

But I bet Rory. Well, I wasn't even picking him specifically. You just said R. He won. He won. Yeah. I bet $100. I won $1,300.

You're welcome. $1,300. I got the bedding slip here if you want. Nope, we don't cut it again. I'll buy you a little lunch or something. I'll get you a lunch or something. Okay. But.

Oh, coffee? I had so many messages from listeners going, because he led after every day. That almost never happens either. Oh, well, I saw something. maybe after Saturday. Did he go down one day or something? And they were a little... He had such a lead to the first two days. Didn't have a good day on day three, which is Saturday. And then, you know, bounced around a little bit yesterday but won it. And it's like it Amy. Amy, I'm convinced.

That's crazy. She's... I mean, I'm not batting a thousand, but... But still. Even when you picked Iowa, I said, pick a team and you said, I don't know, I see all these things. And it ends up being Iowa. They went. way further in the NCAA tournament than they finger quote should have. I don't know, man. It may be running your family. Well, so I've told you, fun fact about my cousin is we're not blood related. Not really your cousin. I know, but what's even

blood is at this point? I don't even know what blood is at this point. Is that even real? Are we real? We in a simulation? Exactly. Okay, well... Did you hear Jim Nance? He said to your name. He said, and Amy called it. Right? He did. We cut that part out, but here's the clip of Rory winning. Rory is a rare repeat winner at Acosta. So how it sounded, sorry we cut it out, but he goes, I can't believe it.

Amy is right again on the Bobby Bone show. And then he said, Rory. They cheered at him saying that. Jim. Good for you. Thanks for the shout out, Jim. Good for you.

Psych again. I don't want to waste it, though. I don't want to go to the well too many times. Right. Yeah. You knew he won? Yes, I looked it up last night. But it didn't come across anything?

No, last I had heard across my feed was a random girl breaking down that it was crazy that Rory was ahead and then behind. So now it was Sunday was getting real interesting. So she's like, can't wait to watch. And then winners never came across my feed. My feed was full of master stuff. But mostly people I don't follow that are there and they were doing their. merch halls. Masters makes a million bucks a day in merch.

Well, I think this year they probably made more because I feel like more influencers were there than ever before. My feed has never looked like this regarding the Masters and I've never seen more halls of people buying more hats and shirts and gnomes and bracelets and Mahjong. What is that? That's the Domino game. But they have a special Masters one which did look super cute. I don't even play Mahjong.

I don't even know if I'm saying it right. Right. Sounds good to me. It's what it looks like when you read it. I mean, people, yes, they were spending thousands and thousands of dollars on this merch. Thank you for the windfall of cash. Well, yeah. Speaking of thousands of dollars.

You said it, I bet it. And I was feeling pretty good about it. I never win. On golf, I never bet at the beginning and win at the end. I don't bet much golf, though. So shout out draft kings, but mostly shout out Amy. You're welcome. In Eddie's neighborhoods, we think kids have been.

graffiti, different buildings, different signs. And so some of the dads formed a watch group. And so it was your night to stay up. Yeah, I told them since my work schedule is kind of like crazy during the week. I would do Friday and Saturday night. I saw your Instagram. Yeah. So what time did you actually go on duty?

10 p.m. 10 p.m. sharp. And what was duty? Sitting in front of my house on the driveway with a little camping chair, flashlight, binoculars, that kind of stuff. What? I feel like if he's there with his flashlight, they're going to be like, okay, let's avoid that area. Well, what do I see something moving? Old man in the front yard, don't go near? Because if I see something moving in the bushes, I'm going to shine a light on it. What is it? Raccoon? Vandal.

Is your neighborhood small enough, though, that from your yard you could pretty much see anywhere they were tagging? No. I can see my street and then where, I guess, like, an entrance to another street. Because my neighborhood is really only like two or three streets. So I can kind of see if a car comes up and goes to any of those streets. Kind of at a good spot to kind of see if anyone enters our neighborhood. Do you ever get in the car and drive around? No, not because he told me I'd been drinking. I already had like, because before I got on duty, I'd had a couple beers.

Was this on duty? Was this a just a reason to drink? No, man, it was a reason really to like just kind of have some awareness in the neighborhood, some eyeballs because everyone just goes to sleep thinking everyone's okay. No one's outside. But guys, there's some movement in the middle of the night. So what did you see? Birds, raccoons.

Yeah, raccoons. I didn't see anything. Like, I saw a couple people come in late. Saw some people like, like, what's that dude? Where is he coming from? It's like almost midnight. But nobody's spray paintings. And you were awake the whole night?

Well, not kind of. So about like 12.30 midnight, 1230. It kind of got a little sleepy. So I decided to move it in the house. But I've moved a couch to the front window. So I can still kind of see. Yeah, of course. And then I passed out.

I think I passed out probably about like 1245, 1. Did you wake up and it was daylight? Yes. My wife is like, where have you been? I told you I was on duty tonight. And that was just night one? That was night one. And then I gave up on night two.

I just didn't, I didn't do it. Okay. So this was shocking. Nothing. Well, guys, guys, I can't stay up late. Like, we had church on 8 a.m. But all this was known, though, before you went on duty. I think we're just going to do cameras.

I think that's the best thing to do. Maybe some wildlife cameras. Yeah, you can show cameras, stuff like that. Yeah. Stuff like that. Yeah. going to be less, they're going to be deterred if they see a man in a chair with a flashlight. Exactly.

At trail cam, they're not as, they're more likely to continue their behavior. Well, I thought too, like, like, I was thinking the whole time because I was by myself, I'm like, man, if I'm like, you know, if I run into them, what am I going to do, really? Like, what have they come towards me? Take pictures of them and call the cops. Okay. Yeah. No, not now.

It's over. Well, no, I know. But I started thinking, too, like, it's kind of cool that I would deter them, you know, to kind of avoid any kind of confrontation. Did they spray anything? Nothing. Okay, guys, is this another example of Eddie committing to something and then not doing it? Ding, ding, ding, ding.

I think he also said he wanted to be taken more seriously this year. No, I'm being serious when I said. He quit after two hours. He seriously went to sleep. I did. I did. I started my night watch. I did start it. I just didn't finish it.

And to be fair, I fell asleep at the window. So, like, I was still kind of on duty, just fell asleep on duty. So if they would have come to your window and not? knock you would have woke up. For sure. Yes, and I would have seen them. Were you disappointed with yourself when you woke up? A little bit, yeah, because I figured I would last until about 5 a.m.,

a little crack of dawn, then I would go to sleep. Did you tell the dads? No. You fell asleep? No, they have no idea. So as far as they know, nobody spray painted because you were on duty. I told them. I told them on Saturday because I saw one of them on Saturday.

I'm like, hey, man, all good, Friday night. All good. I'm going to try tonight, but guys, no promises. I got church in the morning. So they're like, hey, do your thing. It's fine. Hey, you did it all the way Friday night. We can't expect two nights from now.

They put out a poll. Who do you think is the most beloved public figure in the United States right now? It's a tough question. When I give you the answer, you'll go, duh, but it's a hard question to throw out, Jamie. The Rock. No, but that's a pretty good guess. It's Dolly. Oh, yeah.

So Dolly Parton is the most beloved public figure in the U.S. by far. The annual University of Massachusetts UGov poll has her topping the list. Do you want one, two, three, four. I have the top six, positive and then negative. Okay. Dolly Parton at 1 at plus 65. Obama at 2 plus 14. Zelensky at 3 from Ukraine plus 13.

Taylor Swift, George W. Bush, and Bernie Sanders all make the positive list. And they're making sure they go to people on both sides of the aisle all ages. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, you're right. Because if there's a George W. Bush and, yeah, so it's Doll. Obama, Zelensky, Taylor, George W. Bush, Bernie Sanders. You want to do most unpopular? The most unpopular person is not American.

Okay. You got it? Yeah. Putin. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That tracks.

Yeah. It's basically him and Satan. They're tied. Yeah, but Satan didn't make the list because so negative. AOC. That's how you know this is both sides. Who is the O.C? Great question

No you know her You know her Are you kidding? Are you kidding? You too? No lunchbox does Let me show him Do you do lunchbox? No no no don't

Amy don't show them Okay I mean That's their name AOC Or is it initials Like that's what I'm saying No it's initials

Okay AOC AOC A congressperson Does she have black hair She's dark hair I think I know What's her name

What's her name? I don't know her name But Kamala Harris Second Most Negative J.D. Vance and Taylor Frankie Paul, or negative 10. Oh, Taylor, Frankie Paul. That poor girl. I say the vice president and then the Mormon wife plates the reaction from lunchbox.

I know her. If you had said TFP, he'd been like, Taylor Frankie Paul. Yeah. So, okay, so at negative six was AOC, at negative 11 was Kamala Harris. J.D. Vance and Taylor Frankie Paul at negative 10. Gavin Newsome, Governor California, negative 14, Elon Musk, negative 16,

Trump negative 18, Netanyahu at 19, and then Zuckerberg and Putin were the bottom two. Dang. So the bottom three were Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin. I thought Putin was one. No, no, he's the... That would be the worst.

The worst, the bottom. Oh, gosh. One on the bad side. Yeah. Got it. At negative 65. So... You think those people care that they're rated that I think if, and a little bit of the philosophy is, if you are so loved by one side, you're also going to be so hated by the other.

And there's a little bit of that here too, especially with the political people on the list. Especially the ones that are kind of in the middle politically. Like the AOCs, the George W. Bush, the burn. Those are kind of, there's just a couple points. But, yeah, it don't look good for Putin. Sorry, man. I don't feel like he's got much of a future here in the States. I mean, but Zuckerberg.

Oh, yeah, Zuckerberg's the devil. Yeah, that's... Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Not me. You wouldn't have? Well, not a while back. Now more is coming out where you're just like, oh, interesting.

When you watch social network, you wouldn't have thought, the movie. But yeah, no, I definitely get it. Hey, you guys can leave us a voicemail 877. 77, Bobby. That's our number. You can also call us live. We're here. 877-B-O-B-W-B-Y. All right, welcome to the ACM Award nominees, prediction, prognostication, best bet show.

It's a very long title that I just made up. And so we're going to go through all the nominees for the ACM Awards. I'm not going to pick who I like the most. And this is an odd thing for me to do because I like a lot of these artists. I know a lot of these artists personally. And it's going to be weird when I pick against something. of them. So it's not going to be personal opinion of what I like or thinks the best, but what I'm going to do is try to pick who I think is going to win based on how the voting is done, which means,

I think at times there can be confusion on these awards shows. I get it. There's a lot of letters, ACM, CMAs, CMTs, BUTs, ASS, all, there are lots of words, lots of letters. So ACMs and CMAs, but this is the ACMs. For example, I'm a voting member of these. I'm a voting member of ACMs. You could work in radio. You can work for a record label. You can work for a management company. You can work as a producer. You have to be in the industry to be allowed to be a member of the ACMs. So this is not a fan vote. This is not even a data. It wouldn't be a vote. But you don't win because of data either. It's people in the industry voting for people in the industry. Now, it is a large, voting block. So it's not 20 or 30 people. It's not sure how many people there are, but I'll just say

1,000. So what I'm going to do is predict based on how these awards go who will win. I'll thought some of my own flavor as well, but we can start with entertainer of the year. Now, the nominees are and there are seven of them, it feels like that's way too many. I feel like the Oscars at some point started to include a lot of extra movies, like movies that normal people would watch, not just ones they thought were good. And so it's like when the Oscars roll out, movie of the year, there's 41 nominees for movie of the year.

And that's mostly so more people can be involved. More people can, it's starting to feel a bit like this because all seven of these people are really awesome and worthy, but seven feels like too many. And it could also really splinter the vote. If it were me, four max five. It'd be like pro football Hall of Fame. You know, you take top, and even if the other ones are close,

or it'd be like the Heisman, that should be the better one. You know, there's always seven, they always put the whole list out, one through eight, but really the ones that are up in that top of echelon, they go to New York. But here we go. Entertainer of the year nominees are Luke Combs, jelly roll, Cody Johnson, Megan Maroney, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallin, and Laney Wilson.

some artists are at a disadvantage if they have a small management company, a small record label, because again, you need all your people to just kind of galvanize and vote as much as possible. And they have put different protocol in place to where you can't really block vote like the old days. There's still some elements to that, but it's pretty legitimate within the industry how this gets voted. But that being said, if you have to be able to. artists, for example, jelly roll and Lany Wilson. They're on the same record label, right? So are you going to split the vote?

Are you going to have a conversation within a label like, hey, we're putting our forces behind someone? So that's always something. If it were picked based on just data, D-A-T-A absolute facts, I'm talking streams and radio play and concert sales and it would be Morgan Wallin. I think the thing, though, that hurts Morgan is that people know that Morgan DJF. He does not give a F. And he probably ain't going to show up. And so I do think that that keeps people from voting for him, even though he should win the award. And there are artists that I listen

to, obviously. I listen to Stapleton way more than I would, Morgan Wallen. And I like Morgan. But personally, I like Stapleton. I like Megan Maroney. I think Morgan Wallen should win this thing, but I don't think he will because of that. This year, and like other years, I mean, I think Lany Wilson wins it again. Not that she's not deserving, but when all of the elements are in play on who's voting from where and what artists don't care and there will be some people that won't vote for jelly roll

because there's still a little bit of that crowd of, he ain't country. So all these factors are in play here. Really cool to see Megan Moroni be on the list. I'm a Megan Moroney fan big time. I think she is, in my opinion, the best new artist songwriter out there now. Now, I don't think she should win entertainer of the year, but it's pretty exciting to see her on this list.

So I'm going to go with Lainey Wilson. I predict she will win entertainer of the year. Next up, female artist of the year. What's really interesting about female and male artist of the years is, well, there's got to be a female or male that wins entertainer of the year. For the most part, whenever you're voting, self-included when I vote for entertainer of the year. And let's just say I vote for Captain Crunch.

Captain Crunch is a dude. So I'm not going to vote for Captain Crunch and the male artist of the year either because male artists of the year or female artist of the year is usually like a JV to the entertainer of the year. So if, let's say, Lainey wins female artist of the year, my money is on that she doesn't win female artist of the year. If Lany wins entertainer of the year, my money's on she doesn't win female artist of the year because everybody voting for her.

is going to vote for somebody else for the female artist of the year award. And same thing with the males. So, female artist of the year probably goes to, the nominees are Kelsey Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Maroney, and Laney Wilson. I think Ella Langley wins female artist of the year this year. Male artist of the year? Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Zach Top.

It's also weird they have male and female artists of the year still. That's also just a weird thing. I think the CMAs have male vocalist and female vocalist. But male artist of the year, based on voting, I'm going to think Cody Johnson or Riley Green wins this one. Because you're going to see people vote for people

they didn't vote for an entertainer of the year in the male artist of the year category. So my predictions so far are, not my favorite, my predictions, Lany Wilson Entertainer of the Year, Ella Langley female artist of the year, and I'm going to have to do the loser thing and go, it's going to be Riley or Cody in the male artist of the year.

Now, how does Luke Combs not win? Because there'll be enough people that think Luke Combs is going to win entertainer of the year that they won't vote for for male artists of the year. It's bizarre, I'm telling you. But Luke Combs can get a lot of votes for entertainer of the year, no doubt about it. But the people to vote for him there are not going to vote for a male artist of the year because they're like, we already voted for him there. And so, like, little things like that can keep somebody from winning in an award.

not even that it's political. It's just how the voting works. Okay, next step, group of the year. This was interesting because there are a lot of new groups in. 49 Winchester, Flatland Cavalry, Old Dominion, Rascal Flats, and Red Clay Strays. So a big shout out to 49 Winchester and Flatland for getting in. Old Dominion would win this every year. I think they won it every year since like 72.

I think Brooks and Dunn won it for 30. year starting in 1908 and then Old Dominion hit every year after that. Old Dominion, the down the middle choice, Red Clay Strays will probably win the award. The only hesitation I have about the strays winning the award, and I call on that because I'm cool, because I was having them on a radio show before they were big because I, like a lot of people fell in love with them on TikTok and was like, you guys got to come do the show. They've blown up since then. I have had nothing to do with that. I'm not claiming that. I just was a. semi-too-early believer in the red clay strays because that's just the kind of music that I like.

Now, with 49 Winchester, Flatland Calvary, and the Red Clay Strays, those are all going to split the cool guy votes. Because those are all three bands that people are like, we don't want commercial to win. So the only hesitation I have about predicting the Red Clay Strays win is that there are also two other cool guy bands in. and for the first time the cool guy vote could actually split in it could go back to Old Dominion but I'm going to go to Red Clay Strays I think they win

Group of the Year again Duo of the Year Nominees are Brooks and Dunn Brothers Osborne, Dan and Shea Muscatine Bloodline and Thelma and James I think this is a pretty easy Brooks and Dun win I'd like to explain why

First of all a big shout out to Thelma and James I'm a fan it's McKenzie Porter and her husband and they are a duo I would say I'm friends with them they played on the cruise that we had and through they've been on my radio show

I like them a lot and they're awesome I think they benefit from being a duo signed there aren't a lot of duos but if that's what it takes for them to get notice

is to be a new duo like Maddie and Tay didn't make the list because they broke up and there aren't a lot of duos so my advice to people watching right now be a duo. Get self-nominated for an award.

I like Delman James. They're not going to win. They're way too new. Mascadine Bloodline, they are awesome. I don't think enough voters know enough about them. I think if they did, if they did, I think they would win. Like, they're that good.

I don't think it's Dan and Shea. I obviously am great friends with Brothers Osborne. I love those guys. I don't know, because they're they're walking that line of commercially, they're viable, and also they're cool, but they're not fully cool or fully commercial. Like, it's so weird, it's like being a tweener in the NBA. It's like being a 6-9 power forward.

Like, got to be a little taller because you're not really a power forward, but you are big enough and you're not really a guard, but your brothers Osborne is an NBA power forward tweener. Freaking awesome. But for that, I don't think they win. I think it's Brooks and done because. they are loved they're not even putting out new music

they don't need to they do put out those those albums called not duets reboots they got two of those they're good I will say full disclosure

full disclosure and mild flex I'm very good friends with Ronnie done that's my dude my wife's very good friends with Ronnie's wife they're from Oklahoma Ronnie and I are both from Arkansas I hope they

win. I think they win. They're still selling out arenas. They're doing massive tours. They're doing bigger shows than any of the other groups as well. So if you feel like, well, they don't have hits right now. Okay. This is all not hit based. They're selling more shows, doing bigger shows than anybody else. But I don't need to explain why Brooks and Dunn's awesome. They are a crown jewel in country music. Next up, new female artist of the year. Avery Brianna, McKenzie Carpenter, Dasha, Caroline Jones, and Emily Ann Roberts. I know Emily Ann Roberts from watching like her stuff at the Opry. And this is how I know who the...

Caroline Jones is wildly talented as a solo artist. Also, she plays in Zach Brown Band. I've done a Bobby Castle with her. I hope you check it out. I knew she was good when she came in. I then really liked her afterward. It was one of those situations. Dasha, she had the song Austin.

That feels like the song was two years ago, though. think if that happens in earlier year, maybe Dasher wins it then. Now, McKenzie Carpenter, also very talented. I think Avriana is, I think Avriana is my pick. And I think I have some bias coming through here. But not only is she a really good writer. She's a really good live performer. She's had songs go viral.

In this land of, there's a lot of equality here, because these are all really tremendous, but most of them, like, they play instruments, they play instruments. they sing they write. I'm going to pick Avrianna here because I think most people probably know her more than the others except for Dashia and Dash has just been around a long time. That would be almost like me winning a rookie radio person of the year. I've been around for a while. Next up, new male artist of the year.

A bit similar. And I think the rule is, and I can have my guy's fact check me on this. to be a new artist of the year means you just haven't been nominated for any of the other awards. You're still a new artist in the category because I know talking to Mitchell Tenpenny who was nominated for, even Justin Moore won it and he had had like six or seven years in back in the day. I think the rule is as long as you haven't been nominated for another ACM, you can still be considered a new artist. So I'll have them look that up.

And as that I'll do new male artist. the nominees are, by the way, the new female artist is the hardest one for me to pick. But I'm going to go Averyana. A new male artist of the year. Gavin Adcock made a lot of waves. It's had a couple good songs. Like I'm talking good, like commercially successful songs. He's had more songs that are good that aren't commercially successful.

Vincent Mason. I'm a massive Vincent Mason fan. His type of music is the type of music that I like and listen to whenever I'm just driving my car. Shibuzi. Monster. Shouldn't be in this category. but I don't think he's been nominated for any of the other awards. Shibuzi's had Goliath-type songs, like multiple number ones.

If it were just which one of these artists is the biggest. Shibuzy wins that, but I don't know if people are going to vote for Shibuze because he's had multiple number ones. Not just number ones. I'm talking giganto number ones. And I wonder if people hold that against a new artist if they're not actually new. Can you give me some feedback on the new artist? Yep.

You can turn your mic on. What do you got? Yo, so they can't have won anything, like you said. Can they be nominated for other things? They can't be nominated. For other. But they just, as long as you've never won an award, you can still be considered new artist. They'll be considered.

You have to have at least one single that's reached top 50 on Billboard. And then, yeah, a minimum of three eligible submissions. So, I mean, that could be really anybody. So as long as you haven't won any other award, you can still be considered new artists. Hudson Westbrook I really like Hudson's music and Tucker Wetmore same like Tucker a lot so this is a very strong category

because you've had hits here if you have to go off which of these artists has done the most everybody needs to bow down to Shibuzi and just be like you are the new artist God however what my feeling is is that people will go he's not really a new artist

so we're going to vote for him because he's had I think three number ones at this point if I'm guessing and two of them at least were like multi-week generational type songs. I'm still going to go with Shibuzi. I'm going to go with Shibuzi.

He has to win. It's a pretty strong category, but I'm going with Shibuzi because I think some people will do that, but I don't think enough will, and I think there's enough of a split vote in some of these artists being similarly loved

that have done similar, had similar success. So I'm going Shibuzi there. Album of the Year, what I'm very excited about here for Album of the Year. Again, I'm throwing some personal bias in there. I'm a massive

Carter Faith fan. I took her on the road and she opened shows for me and she does not give a crap. She does her own thing. She's always done her own thing. She's been doing the same thing for the last few years, how she makes music. She's I'm so excited to see her get an album of the year nomination. She won't win

because she's so new, but I could not be happier for Carter Faith to be in this category. You have Zach Top, ain't in it for my health. Riley Green, don't mind if I do. Morgan Wallin, I'm the problem. And Parker McCollum, Parker McCollum. Okay, Morgan Wallen has to win this Or I have to quit, which would

keep some of you guys from voting for him because you want me to quit. I get it. But Morgan Wallen has to win this. He can't go way empty-handed. He should win entertainer of the year. My feeling is he won't because some people will hold that against him, but you can't hold... Because the album of the year should very much be data-based.

There should be a lot of data into this, not just... Isn't my favorite. And I remember Parker McCollum talking about how this album didn't perform as much as well. as his other ones, but he loves this one more. And like, I totally feel that. I don't think that every album has to be the top five streamed albums.

That's like the Billboard Music Awards. But the Morgan Wallen album is loved, beloved. It's like 500 songs. Everybody knows the words to all of them. It has to be Morgan Wallen. That's my pick for album of the year. Song of the Year, a song to sing from Miranda and Stapleton. Am I Okay, Megan Maroney,

Ella Langley, Choose in Texas? I Never Lies, Zach Top, somewhere over Laredo, Laney. Wilson. This one is a home run. I bet the farm. I give you my shoes if I don't win this. Well, I'm not going to win. If I don't pick the winner. I love Megan Moroni. Am I okay? Am I okay? That is a jam bop. It slaps. All the things that people say about songs. It's not going to win, though. Ella Langley, Choose in Texas has dug new trenches for 2025 slash 2026 in country music and to where she didn't do anything to make that song crossover. She didn't add any instrumentation.

She didn't put the kids from Annie singing background, like Hard Knock Life to appeal to people that don't like country music. It's a freaking jam of a song. It's country music. And it is a monster. It has to win Song of the Year. Or I quit. Why would I even do this?

Single of the year. Same. I mean, there are nominees, Megan Maroney six months later. Sack Top, I Never Lie. Lainey Wilson somewhere over Laredo, Cody Johnson the fall, it's going to be Ella Langley, it has to be,

it has to be shooting Texas. The Megan Roney song is, six months later, I don't like how much as am I okay, but it's still a great song. It's Ella Langley, it has to be, or why are we doing this? What's a deal?

Shut the show down, if she doesn't want, like go away. Music event of the year, that's always something where it's two people doing it. A lot of times these are the one shown

before the show starts. They give these awards out at like noon over baloney sandwiches. Like there's a cafeteria, everybody come for baloney sandwiches, we're going to give away some of the awards. Still big awards,

but a lot of times this one doesn't make the actual show. A song to sing, Miranda and Stapleton, Amen, Shabuzi and Jelly Roll. Don't mind if I do, Riley, Green, and Ella,

Trailblazer, Reba Miranda, and Lainey and Ha, you had to be there, Megan Maroney and Kenny Chesney. It's just like, I know how people vote in these, but sometimes I want

want to give them the benefit of the doubt and go they're going to make the right decision here. And I know you're wondering, what do you think is the right decision? There's only one right decision. And what I'm going to do here is I'm going to say the right decision. And it doesn't mean nobody else is worthy. But if Shibuzzi and Jelly Roll Amen, don't win. It doesn't matter if you don't like Shibuzzi or Jelly Roll. That song kicked other songs in the nuts for like three weeks. It just kept kicking them in the nuts, kept kicking them in the nuts, kept kicking them and then it's kept kicking. It probably would have if, you know, labels, oh, we got to get it to number two.

It's not my favorite song on there. But if it doesn't win, that's a travesty. Also, you can't give it to Riley and Ella again. They hit, they hit like 17 awards last year for their other one. Excuse me. That's a good song. We can't just flip it up now and give it to them again. Boring.

The Miranda songs that these are good songs. The Moroni and Chesney song, good song. It's got to be amen. And if it's not, you guys voted with your traditional cowboy hat brains and not your normal country music brains. Visual media of the year, don't care. Let me know what that means. Video?

Visual media of the year. Six months later, Megan Maroney, a song to sing, Miranda and Chris. Cuckoo. Cuckoo? Oh, yeah, cuckoo. Somewhere over the Laredo Lainty Wilson, the fall, Cody Johnson. What I'm going to bet is this award is given to something about something that's visual and cool. If I'm a bet man. And I literally don't know.

So if I'm just going to bet based on people also not knowing, they're going to probably pick something they're familiar with. And it's like Miranda and Chris, a song to sing because they'll be like being like, I don't know what this means. Let me just pick two people I like. Songwriter of the year. Jesse Joe Dillon, Ashley Goreley, Charlie Handsome, Chase McGill, Blake Pendergrass. now Jesse Joe Dylan won it last year

and she is a boss Ashley Goreley has written more number ones than anybody else than the history of country music Charlie Handsome is the post-Malone Morgan Wallin producer writer like he sets him up, knocks him down and then you have Chase McGill and Blake Pendergrass big years from them

I think some people without knowing about songwriting won't pick Charlie because they don't like handsome people. They're jealous. If his name was Charlie Ugly, I bet he'd win. What's his success that he's had? Does Jesse win again?

Brano, who do you think wins this one? You're more of a song rather than any of us. Who are the nominees again? You have, Jesse Joe Dylan, Ashley Goreley, Charlie Hansom, Chase McGill, and Blake Pendergrass. Man, the year that Post Malones had,

I would say Charlie Hansom. What if his name was Charlie Ugly? He definitely would win. Okay, so we go on Charlie Handsome here? Charlie Ugly. I mean, yeah. Charlie Hansom? Yep. Which I like Charlie.

There's a bobby cast with Charlie Hansom. The guy's the quietest guy ever, and I knew that coming in, and it got him to open up, and he was actually fun. And I have friends that are friends with him. Charlie Handsome, that's our pick there. And then finally, the artist songwriter of the year. So this award honors artists who writer co-write a significant portion of their songs. So Hardy's won before, Chris Stapleton, Lainey, Wendellon. Wilson, I shall read you the nominees. Luke Combs, Riley Green, Ella Langley,

Megan Maroney, Morgan Wallen. It's a solid list. I feel like Luke Combs will not win because his album is so new. And that if he doesn't win, that's the only reason. Because his album that just came out, just came out. Riley Green did that song POS like me on Facebook. Remember that? that was funny. My favorite writer is Megan Moroni. Like new writer is Megan Moroni. So it's going to be Megan or Ella. I'm going to just go with those two

because I don't want to pick based off simply bias who I think the voting pool will vote for. I think it's going to be one of those two. Ella or Moroni. And there you go. Now if I were to just pick based on who I think should win real quick, entertainer of the year, I think Morgan Wallin should win for the many reasons.

female artist of the year Laney but I don't think she will because I think too many people will vote for her for entertainer of the year male artist of the year Riley

this is if I were just giving the awards which doesn't matter at all Group of the year Flatling of Calvary maybe I'm biased because I have a bobbycats coming up but I do really like their music Duo of the year Brooks and Dunn

new female artist of the year Avrianna she's a boss look up her Ozzy Osbourne cover No more tears She just rocks it out She's like a miniature Taylor Swift She's like 24 years old

With an electric guitar Singing No More Tears That's not even her style of music It's awesome New male artist of the year I pick Shibuzi Because the fact that he hasn't won Any other awards is kind of crazy

Mostly because of all the success That he's had Album of the year My favorite I would pick Carter Faith Cherry Valley But I understand that's not going to win A Song of the Year It's like I know choosing Texas

Should win this Because it is by far the biggest But if I were just going to go Me, I'd go Megan Moroney Am I okay? Just think that's it And then All the rest of these, who cares?

Like, what do you get me to do? That's why I saved this part for last Anyway, nobody cares who I pick. But I do have a vote. That's it. That is your A-CM selection special. Good luck to everybody. Everybody deserves it. Everybody wins. Everybody loses.

I do know, like in some of these categories, there are people absolutely hate each other. And they're praying not only that they win, but the person they hate doesn't win. And that is entertainment to me. All right. So good luck. And I think they're going to be on Amazon again. And I've been number two for the past two or three years. I've not been invited back yet. they've been doing Vegas stuff. They're like, we don't know. So who knows?

I'm even going to be a part of it. At this rate, I don't like flying to Vegas anyway. They don't even pay me. So who gives a crap? If they want me, I'll do a good job. I've saved that show the last couple years, though, when they were, like, technical issues. Oh, God, what are we going to do?

Just throw to Bobby, and I'm running out with a microphone. That's my skill set. But so far, there's no bias to me being like, watch the ACMs, because I'm not even on the. the show yet. But I do really enjoy a lot of this music and I do really enjoy a lot of these people and I'm very proud for them. And so Megan Maroney leaves with nine nominations, Miranda Lambert with eight, Ella and Laney with seven. Oh, here we go, the ACMs air live, May 17th at 8 p.m. Eastern on Prime Video. There you go. That was my best prediction of what the industry will vote

for and then who I would vote for and who I will vote for. All right. Thank you, everybody. And subscribe to the YouTube channel if you don't mind. I was told.
