The Bobby Bones Show - Monday Post Show (04-04-22)

Episode Date: April 4, 2022

Bobby starts by talking about the Thomas Rhett iHeartCountry album release tonight and Amy on the Miranda Lambert iHeartCountry album release. We get into an argument of using Venmo and why it is or isn’t safe. Amy talks about how it’s crazy that kids don’t play outside anymore these days. This leads to a deeper discussion on life and what it takes to pursue something that’s uncomfortable and how our backgrounds can influence our drive in life.

If you're watching on Facebook, there's a few minutes to get calls in, if you would like. 877 Bobby. I'll mention that number again in a second because some people are just coming on. Tonight, Thomas Rett's new album, where we started, will be celebrated because we're doing an IHart country album release party. 7 p.m. wherever you are. It'll air, boom, boom, boom, 7 local time, wherever you are. And I'm hosting it. You can watch it on IHartRadio's YouTube channel.

or listen to the show on IHartRadio's IHart Country Radio channel. Hey, Scoo, Steve, do they still put that on the channel? Is the radio stations, too? Yeah, so some, I think, air it locally. Everyone's different, but usually they air it locally live in their market and or on the app. I think the app is the best way to promote it just in case wherever you're at. Yeah, yeah, but I'm saying are they still putting in all the local stations. Oh, airing at like simulcast kind of thing?

Yeah, not all the same time, different time zones. I don't know they do it for every single one of them, but I know they do do it. Do do it. Okay, well, cool. Anyway, watch that tonight on the YouTube channel. I recorded that with TR like three or four days ago, and it was really good. He played a bunch of songs, old songs, new songs.

I told you guys about Johnny, right? He was so happy to stand there. That's it on this show? Yeah. Did you? Yeah. How I know the story. Johnny?

Johnny? Johnny's dad. Johnny's daddy. Okay, all right. He was a guy that had driven in from Louisville to this Thomas Wright show, and he was smiling so hard the whole time, and they couldn't have their phone.

because the record hadn't been out yet. Yeah, Eddie didn't hear. Nah, nah. You must have said that somewhere while you guys were hanging out. He just would not stop smiling. He was the happiest person I've ever seen him alive. And since they didn't have their phones, they couldn't take pictures or record what was happening. So I brought him up on stage, take a picture with Thomas Redd.

No. And I thought he was going to explode. No. It's a cool story, but you've never told that before. Yes, he has. No. Where did it? I have at lunchbox?

No. And the lunchbox remembers everything. No. Mike? Eddie wasn't here. Eddie wasn't? Okay. The problem is.

I think he may have said it during a commercial I don't think he said it on into the microphone Not anywhere else Yeah Oh it was on Friday show? Like post show or show show show? What's the punishment for bringing up a segment Oh, uh-oh Well I brought it up he just doesn't remember it

I mean maybe I didn't realize it was a Thomas Rett thing Yeah yeah I mean I remember you told I thought it was to tell me something good Ish. Look God driving. That's a cool story though, dude. Yeah. Anyway, I hope they leave it in.

I don't know if they will or not because I kind of went off script there. How did your Miranda Lambert one go? Really good. Yeah, it was awesome. Was she in her good space? Yes. And her performances were amazing. The crowd was awesome.

Like, they are, her fans are very cheery. So, like, after everything you said about her, like, if I'd go on stage and say one thing, they cheered and collapsed like crazy, I was like, Miranda. We pay people to do that. No, these, no. No, no, every single person. Amy doesn't know. I'm just kidding.

No, it's like, I don't have her fans in my pocket because they were just very encouraging and uplifting. And, yeah, like, her new album is so good. How was, because sometimes she can be really quiet and then sometimes she can be like, she was ready. Yeah, that's good. So Amy did Miranda's and then you did Thomas Rett's? That's correct.

When her Restless Road has one coming out. Yeah, we did that one. You can jump as an emcee on that one. Yeah, go for that, buddy. They're doing them in town now, which is nice. Yeah. Because we used to fly all over the country to do these. And the artist would too.

And we'd be like, why are we in California? We live right down to. Yeah, everybody lives in Nashville. We live five minutes from each other, and there are plenty of microphones. Although I did have to go to California recently for Dustin Lynch, but I think that he did it there because he was actually in L.A. for the Super Bowl. And so he was already there. So I think that's why they accommodated that.

Otherwise, I think it would have been in town, which, yes, I agree. It's so much better. So, okay. Well, that's tonight, the TR one. Before we were going on, I said, Scooba, what's your Venmo? And Scuba goes, I don't have a Venmo. And I was like, wow, that's almost to the point now where if you don't have a Venmo, it's like someone back five years ago going, I don't have Facebook or Instagram.

Right. Like most people now have some sort of app where there can be money transferred. Cash app, Venmo, you could go through them. But Scoobo goes, I don't trust them. So why don't, even Lunchbox trusts Venmo. And he doesn't, he wanted to get a paper check until like a year ago. I was very reluctant to get Venmo, but I was worried about them getting into my bank account, and everybody was like, you have to get Venmo, and the world was passing me by,

and I couldn't get any money from people. So I broke down and got Venmo. What's the deal, Scuba? I mean, you guys even talked about yourselves of being scammed and having issues with Venmo. That was my initial worry about it. Not on Venmo. Yes, you guys have. I mean, people try to scam me in all walks of life.

You guys are saying you're getting text messages from like a Venmo thing coming through. Should I take it? Should I not take it? But do you not get email links? Are people going, hey, click this link? And I don't click on it because I'm a smart guy. Right. Then why not get Venmo and not click on the link?

Because you're a smart guy. Yeah, because you have email. But I think any of someone, I got to transfer for some money. Do I keep it? Do I not keep it? And she sent it back. But all that just seems fishy. And I just don't trust it.

If you're going to want to give you money, give me cash or have Zelle. Zell is actually through credit banks. This sounds like Ray. When Ray was coming up with all these like... No, Zell is real. It's not Zeli. It's Zell. And it's with like Chase and accredited banks that are FDIC insured.

But you're wanting people to get one specific to the brand that you have. That's a little more difficult than like a wide net that everyone's under. And you can go like, hey, you got a Venmo or you got a cash app? No problem. Boom, boom, boom. Then go to the ATM, get some cash out. And then I'll wait for it. But you're like the nerd that says, hey, have you checked my LinkedIn?

You know, you're like Zelle. Actually, professionals really use LinkedIn. But we used to make fun of it because it was like, dude, get a Facebook. and it was like, oh, do you go on LinkedIn? He's the guy that doesn't want to get on. But guess what's more credible now, LinkedIn versus Facebook? Facebook's full of crap and it's full of negative stuff. Well, Zell also has scams.

It literally just came out on the news this weekend that somebody lost $3,000 through Zell. But they probably get it back faster because it's... But now you're probably... No, they really can because VEMO's not tied to any banks or anything that's legit. It's just something that they made up and you guys throw money around like it's okay. I just don't trust it. I've always wondered. How did they make money?

Do you ever put your credit card online? Yes, I do, but I don't save it, though. What's up with delay, buddy? Why'd you delay so long, buddy? Because I knew we were going to go with this. No, I'm just asking a question. I know what your questions in tents are. Okay, good question from Eddie, though.

How does Venmo make money? That's a great question. Service fees, right? There's no service fee. There is no service fee. Is there advertisements in the... I don't use Venmo, so I don't know. No advertisements?

You have to like watch an ad. If you expedited? Okay. Yeah, but it's... Hold on, a couple things. The Venmo also has a credit card that you can get. There's fees there.

So if you use the credit, like they. There's also business accounts too. Yep. The business is. So there are me going to Eddie one-on-one from what I know. We're not losing any money in this, but there are opportunities to get a VINMO credit card to if you're a business. We're able to use a free app because other people get credit cards and get in debt. Yeah, Scuba, another good reason to give VIMO.

You don't have to pay taxes on that, man. I never said that. I never said that. You know what? I refuse and I pay taxes on everything. Actually, and I think some people can request your, like if you're being audited, you might, maybe could your Venmo history get? I hope not. Well, they just passed a rule recently that you can, Mike, is your crane frozen by any chance?

Because they just, and Mike you maybe can yell this out loud. There's a, now there's a limit. If it's not so much, you don't get taxed on it. Correct. Remember what it was? Because it literally was like the number. I read it was like $299.99. Anything over $2,99.99 and 99 cents can be taxed.

600. Well, then I'm wrong. Yeah, that's why I didn't trust. Okay, wait. Back it up. Anything, what? If you have over $600, you get taxed on Venmo? You have to pay.

Oh, that's not good. Why? What are you paying for over $70 bucks on Venmo? He does a lot of gambling stuff on that. You made a lot on the dollars. Like fantasy sports, you know what I mean? You have people pay you on Venmo and then you pay out. But each transaction is $6,000.

bucks. Oh. If it's a single transaction. Got it. Got it. Got it. Right, Mikey? Yeah.

Yeah. And for like, yeah, people that are doing work for you or you're doing work for them. Got it. Got it. Okay, good. Because you don't pay taxes on rent.

Okay, good. But how do they know it's work or it's not? You write in that little no. It's usually just a little emoji. You could put whatever. Like y'all put in mature stuff. Like what? Oh, I.

I swear you, I've talked about putting an eggplant before. I've never put an eggplant on Venmo because people can see that. By the way. Exactly. So you're trying to hydropirvy? Have you? No, I'm saying it's like, if I do that as a joke, people are going to be like, what's that? Well, no, I think it's a joke.

Not everyone. Because everyone can see it. No, they can't. Mine's shut down. My mother-in-law can see it. No one can see it private. No one can see anything I do on Venmo. No, I know, but most of my stuff's public.

Okay. But it doesn't have to be. So if I want to make a... joke about the eggplant. I make that one private. Come on. Make them all private. Make all your transactions private. Oh, okay. I'll do that then. Thank you. We got there. And Scoobess, Steve doesn't trust it.

Even though, it puts those credit card on the internet and buy stuff all the time. Yeah, do you online bank? By any chance? You go a little click-a-click, log in, maybe look at your bank out there. It's secure, though. There's like, there's pathways and things you have to put it in there to make sure it's... Do you have banking on your phone? I don't make on my phone, no. My wife does, though. My wife's crazy. Oh, that's stupid. Crazy? Why, you two. I'm with Scooby. You do not put banking on your phone.

to work, do you guys head back to Little House on the Prairie? I mean, you want to talk about getting hacked. Leave your phone there, so I'm going to get a hold of your bank account. Exactly. Oh, my gosh. All your money. So, old. I sound old?

I don't have money problems, though, so. Everything's great. What is it you said at dinner the other night that old is? Like, the new old, like leaving the blinker on used to be old. An old person used to be driving another little leaving the blinker on. Then, here, I'll do it for you now. This is the new old person. Looking at your phone, not realizing your lights on the back of your phone?

I have done that. Yeah. That's the new blinker. Because Amy was doing it and I was like, that's the new old person. I didn't know my flashlight accidentally came on. I know, but you didn't know your blinker was on either. But like anybody can do that. It's hard to know if it's on when it's facing the other way.

Exactly. It's hard to know if your blinker's on if you can't hear it. No, you can hear it. In the old day, you didn't know either. That's the new old person. Legit. Ray, will you play? VoiceMail 3.

Morning Studio. I just wanted to tell you guys about a new interactive show I found on Netflix this weekend called Trivia Quest, and it reminded me of y'all's easy trivia. Every day for the month of April, they put out a new trivia episode with 12 questions in all different categories, and you get to play along. I just wanted to tell you guys about it, and maybe you'll check it out. Have a good day. Thank you very much.

We are watching, we watch the second episode of The Dropout about Elizabeth Holmes, who girl talks like this and invented the blood test. There's a documentary on HBO that I really liked. Amanda Seafreed plays her. Pretty good. She has a great job with it, I think. Yeah, we think it's pretty good. I'm into it a little more than Caitlin is.

Caitlin's like, ah, I don't have to watch anymore. And so, we made the pack to go to end of episode four, and then from there readdress. We watched Winning Time last night, the new Lakers episode. It's the best episode yet, because now not as much backstory and more like the, you know, into basketball. Yes. That show is so good.

It's really good. And there was a thing last night, and I consider myself kind of a historian, a sports historian. Well, football, baseball, basketball. Not hockey, not soccer. But the three, like, real American sports. And so I learned something last night. My mind was blown. What?

I don't know if I should tell. I mean, it's about the game of basketball or like a player? Something happened with the Lakers organization. Well, tell me so I know what to look out for, because I'm watching it, too. I haven't watched it yet. look out for it. I knew 90% of it, but I didn't know, I can just tell you guys Yeah, I just want to know what you're fascinated by.

I don't care, but there's probably a lot of people listening to might. But how does it? It's history. Let's vote. There are five people in the room. Who thinks I should say what it is on the show? It's not a huge spoiler. Me. But it happened and I was shocked by it. Me. Me. You say yes? Yes. You say yes. I want to know. No, Morgan, okay. I don't want to get yelled out on Facebook.

It's not a spoiler because you can easily look it up on the internet. Lunch? I mean, I guess that's already outvoted, so I don't care. Okay. I haven't even started watching the show yet, so I... You would love it, lunch, well. I understand, guys, but I'm busy.

No, you're not. You watch Survivor every... Or challenge or whatever. No, challenge's not on right now. Survivor is, though, and it is great, guys. So, the whole thing about this Lakers owner is he's a bit of a wild card, right? It's a name's Jerry Bus. We talked about it.

Dr. Bus. Yeah. And so he's making weapons before he bought the Lakers. Real estate. Made a lot of money doing that. And so he's trying to make this... A lot of people didn't care about the NBA. It wasn't the league it is now.

Struggles in general. Like late 70s. He buys the team. This is all way pre-pre. And, you know, drafts Magic Johnson. They were like, don't draft Magic Johnson. Drafts Sidney Moncrief. It's a whole situation.

And he's like, I want this team to be different. Like, we don't want cheerleaders that are like ballet dancers. Like rah-rahs. He goes, we want to find women that will dance like people are dancing at the club. And he finds this one girl. she's the only one like the ballet classes like actually dancing and he's like you and he has her

train the other girls and he's like this is the first ever Laker girl and boom she's like 19 it's Paul Abdul the first ever Laker girl Whoa that's cool I knew she was a Laker girl but I didn't know she was the one that he found that actually like trained up all the Laker girls Wow that's awesome So it's before she was ever anything Yeah oh yeah yeah far before

Huh so that probably was her springboard too Yes So and that That was it. It's funny that Amy watches this show and she has no idea about any of these people. Like, we were at dinner and we're talking about the show and she Googles Kareem Abdul-Jabar. I'm like, you've already seen all these episodes. She had no idea who he was.

She's like, tell me more about this guy. Yeah. It's really good. Caitlin watched it a bit like Amy, where Kailen's a massive NBA fan, but only like the last 10 years or so. Where, I mean, this is even before I was born, but I just love the history of sports. But, yeah, it's a great show. I love it. And then the guy from Stepbrothers plays Dr. Jerry Bus.

John C. Riley. He's great at it. So good. He's so good at it. All right, there's that show. Tomorrow on the show, we're going to test this out. It will make sense a Guinness record for eating 19 chicken nuggets in one minute. So 19 in a minute.

If anybody can do for every nugget over 10, I give, starting with 10, if you eat the 10th one, 11th one, 5 bucks for every nugget over 10. Wow. That's just. Under a certain amount of time? A minute. Sorry, did you say how we're picking who's eating in a minute? Anybody can do it. Right.

I'll just come on an empty stomach. Do we have to do it? No. You don't want money? I don't want to eat a bunch of nuggets in the morning. Sorry. Man, I don't know if I can get to 10 under a minute. Okay, hold on.

Eight. Love it. How big are the nugs? Hey, hey, say you don't know if you can get eight. I don't know if I can get eight pounds. Which nuggets? How big? Okay, five. I need to know how big.

Scoobah, what nuggets are they? Asking them right now. Sonic nuggets. Sonic nuggets. Is that the popcorn chicken? They have to be the chicken poppers. I think they're like medium size. We've got one in his mouth right now.

No, they're pretty big. They're like a decent size. It's like a McDonald's nugget right there. Yeah, exactly, yeah. We think of McNuggets. I think they've kind of dominant. But Sonic has the best nuggets now. So we're going to use Sonic Nuggets.

Okay. Anything over eight. Eight on, you get five bucks. What's the strategy? Eat them. I'm not doing it. Probably don't chew them. Just go straight down.

Yeah, that's a good way to do it. Yeah, try that, Eddie. It's like a lot of pill. Golly. He's for sure going to choke. We'll see if we can get close to the record tomorrow. Maybe water, like they do the hot dogs. You got to dip them in water.

So come. Ew. Colorado passes the law permitting children to play alone if they are mature enough. Play alone outside. How is that not alone? How mature. Why do you need a law? Yeah, that's weird.

Who was it talking about kids don't just go play by themselves anymore? Me? Yes. It's like I just remember as a kid and I don't want to sound all, oh, back in my day. But. As it were lights on the back of her phone. She's talking about it. We used to just be able to leave.

And my parents had no idea where we're like no cell phones, no way to get a hold of us. We would ride off on our bikes. Me and my neighbor kids, we would go play at the park. See you later. And then like now, even I kind of freak out if my son's like,

hey, I'm going to go ride my bike in the neighborhood. I'm like, okay, well check in with me in like 10 minutes or don't leave the neighborhood. Make sure that you're good. And then I feel like I get nervous that some parents in my neighborhood might see my kid riding his bike alone and then think I'm a bad parent because I'm letting him.

I mean, he's almost 12. Or maybe they think, wow, I wish I was doing that, and had the freedom to let my kid ride the bike like the good old. Yeah, and I'm not even, I'm not saying they act this way, anybody in my neighborhood. I just have this thought that I don't want, also don't want other parents judging me for my kid playing alone outside, which he totally should be able to.

He totally should. Well, I think, like, why am I scared? Why kids are so connected now is because we have the ability to stay connected. If we'd have had cell phones and all that, our parents would call all the time too. Straight, yeah, for sure. I don't even make them call. He doesn't have a little call. I said straight up.

I say something cool and you go straight. I like that. That's a new thing. If I said something cool and you agree with, go straight. No, I was going to say straight up and then I stopped myself. That's your thing. Straight up. No, no, just straight.

What an idiot. Straight. I think had we had the ability, we would have been far more connected. But it was either you never leave the house or you stay home all the time. Right. And also, we didn't know as much about the, I said, calling bad guys that were out and about. But that doesn't mean there are more of them or less of them. them, we just know more about, we just read it all the time because that's what makes headlines.

Right. And so it scares us as well. So probably the same or less amount of bad stuff happening now, but because we see it and we take it in, we feel like it's more. Right. We just didn't know about it back then. Okay. Well, I'm going to send my kid out more then. I'm going to be like, you should go. Go. And I've been proud of him lately. Like, he'll go and knock on neighbor's doors and be like, hey, is, is there any kids here? Do they want to play? Wait, he's knocking on doors? Straight up, asking for kids. I like that. Straight. Well, no,

that's a different. Straight. Well, no, that's different. Straight. Straight. Is if I hear something you to agree with Straight. Straight. But now I'm going to encourage it more. No, wait. He just goes to random houses? That's practice, Eddie. USA's cool.

Straight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, he just knocks on random houses. No, you can't let him do that, Amy. Why? They're in our neighborhood.

Yeah, but that's danger. Like, right there. It's not danger. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, Eddie, you're such a parent. Guys, the second you let your child get close to someone's house, like, and they can just take and put him inside, you're asking for trouble.

I think it's houses where he sees, like, balls and bikes and like kids. That's how they lure them. But I think the lulling. Bals, bikes, lollipops, whatever. Eddie is that parent, guys. Eddie is that parent.

Amy. He's the parent that's judging you for letting your kid outside. I'm not judging. I'm helping him. I'm saying Amy, you probably don't want to let him to knock on doors. Would you let your kid go sell like a fundraiser for it? Door to door?

I'll go with him. Oh my gosh. Eddie's that kind of parent. That's fair. That's fair. You've always been the helicopter parent. No, it's not helicopter. Oh, it is.

It's being a good parent. Okay. So they're not a good parent? bad parents. Amy, I'm just telling you, be safe. What I would say is there are 10,000 houses that would do the right thing to the one that possibly

wouldn't. Yes, you're going to let them take that chance. But my point also is, it was like that back in the day too. Right. And look at me. I knocked on doors. Did you ever sell candy bars? Yeah, I did. Or cookies. Did you go by yourself? Man, I would knock and then I would try to sell them something and say, come on in, let's look at the

catalog and I would sit at the kitchen table by myself. Yeah. And you're fine. And you're fine. Do you ever get abducted? No. Why were you scared? I lucked out. No, you didn't luck out. Oh my goodness.

It does happen. Yeah. But. You would want your child to go into a stranger's house. We didn't talk about going in. You braided that point right now. You went into a house. I did.

It sat at a table. I did. No. But I don't have a problem with Amy's kid knocking on the door and being like, hey, there are any kids here to play? I'm bored. I'm just a kid. I have no problem with that.

It's great. A random kid going to your house saying, hey, is there a kid in here to play with? That's weird, guys. Why am I the only one that thinks that's weird? I was proud of it. He's trying to make friends. I think it's weird because there aren't a lot of kids doing it, but I don't think it's wrong.

I don't think weird means wrong. I just think that if you got in the wrong house and you present yourself like, hey, I'm a kid. No one with me. Can I come in? Do you have a kid I can play with? Nobody's coming in. And he's also not going, no, no. Hi, I'm a vulnerable kid that you can take advantage

to me very quickly and easily if you needed to. Do you have any kids I can play with? Maybe in the back room. I'll walk back and see how they're doing. I think he's saying that without saying it just by being there. In a house in her neighborhood where she knows all the houses. You don't know all the house. Do you know everyone in your neighborhood, Amy?

Most of them. I don't know them well by any means. The only point here is Eddie. Guys, I'm scared for Amy's kids. Oh, man, what if something happens? I'm scared. But the only point is that he's safe doing this. Yeah.

If I didn't feel like the neighborhood was safe, I don't think I would let him do it. I just felt as a friend. Knocking on the door for anything. A candy bar. Can I sell a candy bar? We'd like to buy some popcorn for my troupe. I just think it's good for his personality to go do that. Have you done the criminal check in your hood?

No. Oh, you should. Do you do that? Yes. So your kid wants to go play with another kid and you're like, hold on, I got to background check them? No. When you go moving to a neighborhood, you do the criminal check. Do I have any of those people living here?

You can click and see if there are any sex offenders. That's what I said. Oh, you said criminal check. I was trying to say that. I just throw a kick out of a gas station. Eddie won't let his kid play with his nephew. Have you criminal checked everyone at your little league? What? Like at the Little League, do you criminal check everyone there?

No, I haven't, but that's a good idea. That's a criminal check. I don't know what he called it, so I'm just going with it. No, I meant the sex offender. Anyway, they passed the law in Colorado. Okay. I can't believe it has to be a law. Well, Colorado's governor signed a bill into law last Wednesday, clarify it to clarify the children to play outside or walk to school

without it being considered abuse or neglect, which is what some parents, Eddie, would say. No, I didn't say that. Thank goodness. Under the previous law, a child was considered neglected if the environment was injurious to the child. health or welfare. And then so people would see their kids, like, walk into school and be like, that's neglect.

And they'd call child protective services. They'd call. I used to walk to the bus stop, like, blocks away from my house all the time, alum. I used to ride my bike to school. It was a mile, one mile to school. And I'd ride my bike in second grade. With no shoes. No, no, I had shoes.

This governor has common sense. Yeah. Eddie? I didn't know that that was illegal. What? All to let him walk to school. But you can call on Amy's kid. be like, oh, this kid's bouncing. He doesn't have a good mall.

Knocking on doors. Yes, this is the same. All I said, he wants to ride around the neighborhood. That's fun. That's great. Whatever. Once you go into someone's property, knock on their door and they're like, what about selling popcorn for a troop? Yeah, it's, it's, you got to be careful with that kind of stuff. Okay, you have to be careful to be careful. I'll be careful walking into my car today. Okay, I didn't say dope. I'm talking to careful. Can a kid, can a kid, in your mind, by themselves, a 12-year-old kid, go and knock on doors in the neighborhood saying,

I'm selling popcorn for a fundraiser by themselves. Can they? No, no. This is Eddie here. Is it safe? How do you feel about it? What's the question? Is it safe or can they? Is it the same thing as what Amy's son's doing? Yeah, it's the same thing. Okay. Should they? In your mind, should they? They can do it.

Okay, I'm not saying, can they? Should they? Go with your parents. Should they by themselves do it? No, not by themselves. At what age is it okay for them to go by themselves and knock on the door and sell candy? I would say 16. Oh my God. Oh, my gosh.

16? So they can drive. They can drive the honk a horn. Absolutely. Oh, then get away. What about if you knock on the three? door and then you run far far away into the yard and you yell hi i have to keep distance to stay safe would you like to buy some popcorn it's not a bad idea what about if you just went with a gun no

no kids with guns okay i had guns i had guns when i was nine or a taser gosh not in the neighborhood you were out in the woods hunting no i don't remember that neighborhood too so you would go loaded yeah yes or what do you call it uh because i would walk down the street i live on strapped strapped no no no you would show up to someone's door strapped be like so no no no no no i want to someone's door but I would walk through the neighborhood but the 410 or I was 14 to 20 gauge and I'd walk probably a quarter mile just to get to a spot in the woods

and walk into it. It's crazy. What? That's crazy. Yeah, but he wasn't in the city, Amy. I called CPS on that. No, he wasn't on the side. We all just grow up, man.

We all just grow up different. All right. Straight. The House has passed a bill to federally decriminalized marijuana. So the House passed the bill. It will fail on the Senate. expected not to pass.

So if you did see, wow, the House of Representatives passed the law to decriminalize marijuana. I do believe it's happened before, and the Senate ends up saying no. The House has voted with a slim bipartisan majority to federally decriminalize marijuana. The bill also expunges the record of people who've been convicted of nonviolent cannabis offenses, which that should happen anyway. So they didn't expect it to pass. Quick question. What's the difference between the Senate and the House?

Well, it's a good question. I have no idea. I don't think that's a bad question. So each state gets two U.S. senators. They basically have a little more power. They're both in the legislative branch. The House, depending on how big your state is, you get more. So California weighs a little more in the house. Texas weighs a little more than a state like where I come from Arkansas. We don't have as many representatives. Okay. So there are a lot of representatives. It just handled differently because different states have different power, a whole lot of people. Senate, everybody gets two. That's it. Okay, so really, Senator is more prestigious than a House.

Yes, absolutely. So, like, they're JVs. You know more of the Senators, too. I don't know anything. Yeah, you do, but I don't tell you some of them. But some of the House people, though, you'll know because they just have big mouths. And they do a good job at making sure people know who they are. Because there are a lot of housepeople, too, that you would know because they're always on the news.

Got it. But you would know Senator Lindsey Graham. Okay, I heard that. From South Carolina. Yeah. Mitch McConnell. Got it. From Kentucky.

Other ones you would know. For example, AOC, House. Ah. She's only a house? Mm-hmm. Well, right. Only house. But because she has a big...

You see her all over the place. Red Bruise. Let me see. Who else would you know as a senator? I just gave him one that rhymes with. Maybe Tom Cotton. Do you know him at all? He's from Arkansas, but he's always, like, in the present, no.

Okay. Ted Cruz. Oh, yeah, okay. Senator. Senator. Famous senators Well, some were senators before they were president Yes

Yeah, Obama very short quickly, right? Yeah, because he was house That's right. Quick, yeah. Clinton was a governor. Bush was a governor. Some Kennedys or like senators or something. Okay. My screen's out, Mike. You ever trying to show me?

That's interesting that I just didn't know that I never knew that there's a lot. Nancy Pelosi. Oh, I know that one. What is she? Speaker of the House. of what of what

Speaker of the House of representative but the bill is born in the in the house yeah and then once it passes the president's to sign it

yes so that's the first of the steps all right so the JV starts it then it goes to the Senate the AAA and then it goes to the pro major language of the president well I would say they're both

the president and the Senate are the same? Then why would you just want to be senator? That's how a lot of people feel. They may. Like if you've got the same power as the president, why would you want the stress of being the president? Well, you don't, because individually you don't.

Why would you want the stress of being the president? Some people are just like the whole, I get to be president in the United States. I mean, do you see how much they age in the four years? Yes, but if you had the opportunity to be president, wouldn't you? I go right now. Let's go.

You would be the president? Yeah. Absolutely. I'm writing a book now about how a lot of presidents and they kind of went back to look. got a lot of, not just CEOs, but CEOs who cut through because their success was so massive that pop culture learned about them, that Bill Gates is the, you know, we know these CEOs because they did something that launched a product or that affect our lives. And like there's a,

or just artists, a lot of art, like great artists over time. So they collected all these people. And there is a high number of these, an extremely high percentage of, presidents, really successful artists and CEOs who lost a parent, either died or ran off when they were a kid. And they talk about how it takes for someone to have the drive to do any of that or the want to do any of that, you almost have to not have been given great emotional stability. Your mental health is worse, but you pursued it in a different way. And so pretty crazy. Wow.

Pretty crazy thing to me. And I'm reading it going, oh, yeah, I know. I mean, and they're talking about the things that drive people who lost a parent and they're trying to cover up for other things. And I'm like, oh, man, it's like reading my own story here. But it's just wild. There's such a high number of these people who, because of a loss, they were able to succeed even farther. And because of what they weren't given, they actually achieved more. And there was a whole other part of this book about people that are dyslexic and how some of the most successful people in the whole world are dyslexic.

because, and it's only, it's not most people, but it's because they had to figure out a way to just survive when it was harder on them. So they like remember everything. They had trained themselves to remember everything because they couldn't read. So they would listen. Crazy. It's a crazy book. Mostly it's like people who have dealt with crap and taken that big pile of crap and went, well, I can actually make this into something special. I didn't want the crap. Nobody wants the crap. But how can I take this crap and turn it into something that is even greater than what I would have had any opportunity to do anyway. So pretty good, pretty good, pretty good.

But the dyslexic one was good. I read about a doctor who kind of discovered how to stop bleeding back in the day with kids with leukemia because they couldn't figure out the bleeding. They couldn't even get to work on the leukemia part of it because they bled all the time. And so he because his background as a kid growing up in Chicago, he was so poor. His mom worked all the time. His dad was gone. He had no empathy, meaning.

He didn't just cry with patience. He was like, no, no, no. We're going to, I'm going to forget this out. We're going to be it. But there was no softness there where he didn't use any of that emotional exhaustion on them. It was, we're going to keep trying crap. Because it's the only thing we can do. And I'm not going to feel bad because I've never felt bad.

I wasn't taught to feel bad. No one ever took care of me. But he was so like that that he was able to figure out how to stop the bleeding in these kids because he wasn't so worried about how good, Gaga. He wasn't going to cuddle them and make them feel better, which sucked in the time being because they remember talking about he had no zero bedside manner. Yeah. Man, where do you learn about these people?

He's written a book. Oh, it's all in the same book? My cousin. Yeah. I thought you were reading, I thought these were all different books. I'm like, goodness. Most of these are maybe in two different books. I start to lose track.

I'm going to read two books at once, and my stories get mixed up, meaning I'm running hunger games with, you know, Bill Gates. And I'm like, remember when Bill Gates was like, and then Katness would read the scream on her leg and her wound would heal. Just like that. My whole point with all of that. And I think I'm just drawn to things that I relate to is that sometimes you can be given a big old heaping, you know, big plate of crab. And it's, well, I have this. It looks like a lot of other people who don't have this.

How could I take this and actually turn it into something great? And why am I so motivated to turn it into something great? and so maybe you invent the greatest fertilizer ever with that crap. Yeah. Maybe you, so anyway, the doctor, then he went on, he was the first doctor to ever go put a cocktail together. Because when they fight cancer now, they do all the time. They use different drugs, they combine them.

And that's what's called a cocktail. Back in the maybe 70s, 60, 70s, they weren't doing that because they were like, no, no, that's too many poisons at once. And he was like, they're going to die. They're like, yeah, but it'll hurt. It'll really. Well, and sometimes, yeah, your chemo, your chemo cocktail is very painful. It makes you very, very sick.

And he was like, they're going to die. They're going to die. So he was really instrumental in that. He had been fired many times because he had no bedside manner at all. Yeah. I would just yell at people. Yeah. One day, was he ever able to, I mean, I'm sure.

He's still alive. Okay. It's like 80, 88 or so. I wonder if he ever, you know, worked on that just to have, you know, some healing there. I don't know that it's. something that you were, if you were never nourished, you don't know nourishment. Right. You don't know it.

He has a wife. They've been married for a long time if she's still alive. She probably helps him a little bit. In that way, yes. Yeah. But it's hard to know that if you've never experienced it. This is so interesting to me because when we adopted our son, we got him, your foster parents three years ago, he came very independent.

I can do anything myself. Grab food from the freezer or whatever. But after he was with us for about a year, he kind of just chilled and let us kind of do everything for him. He wanted to be held all the time. And it's almost, I wonder like, man, if it wasn't for us, would he have been overly motivated to do this? Or are we kind of making him change a little bit because we're giving him so much love and support? You know, because I think like if it wasn't for us, he could have been something like that scientist. Well, most don't.

Right. Right. I mean most. But I was talking about his personality. Most folks, where I come from, you worked at the mill, for the most part. Right. You worked at the mill until it went out of work until the people, mill shut down. A lot of drug addicts.

There's a bad opioid addiction problem there. There aren't a lot of choices or options. Sure. Unless you take some really uncomfortable chances. And we generally as humans don't like to go and pursue something that's uncomfortable. We don't like to go out of our way to then do something uncomfortable. And so with most folks, that does not happen. I don't know why I have had in me, whatever it is.

I don't know. You are some of these CEOs that you're talking about. Even just to get out of where I'm from, I don't know why, because I could have easily gone down the same path as so many people I know because I was living in the same path. Don't know what it was. I wish I had some answer like, ah, just so smart and I knew the, I don't know what it was about something.

inside of me. I think I had just seen, but a lot of people do, but I'm, I had seen some stuff so bad that I decided that I just, for whatever reason, I didn't want to do that. But again, I think other people think that too. And they don't have the chance to do it. But I'm still, and I'm struggling with being fiercely independent in a life now where I'm not. I've lived 40, I'm 42 now, you know, until I met Caitlin. You do whatever you wanted to do. Whenever I whenever you want. And didn't give a crap about anybody else. And through the years, I had girlfriends, but it was, it just was, it wasn't like a real,

like I need to compromise my life because I value it so much. And so, but now for the first time that I'm in that, ever, most people have this at 21. Like most people find and actually have a real relationship in their early 20s where they realize, oh, wow, relationship's like two people. until now I never had that and so there are times where I got to go man stop being so freaking selfish like I have to look at myself and go you ain't by yourself anymore you've got to think of other people's

feelings and actions and motivations and I do but I naturally don't do that because I've been just living in it so long and sometimes I know I'm not the best because I am very selfish like that and not on purpose but I'm just living the life I've always led and it's like oh wow I probably shouldn't do that or I shouldn't spend eight hours playing PlayStation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's just an example.

Example, yeah. And I don't. I don't even like PlayStation. But I had a hard time with letting. But there's larger sacrifices you've made knowing that it's not the best for you as a unit with her now. Yeah, he's not just games. Yeah, two and a half, Betty. It's like real life stuff, silly.

I had a hard time, though, with letting her. love me in ways. And like now, like your son, you start to get it. And you're like, well, this isn't so scary. He probably just doesn't want people to leave him again. Yeah, it's based out of fear. That's all it is for me. He probably doesn't want to, he's been left.

He's old enough to know. And that sucks. And he's probably like, man, and then once you start to trust it, and listen, if you guys burn him, he's probably never, it's going to be even harder for him to come back. The worry I have is just that he, because he did have so much confidence and motivation, and now he's so chill, which is cool,

because he's more relaxed. I'm kind of like, hey, I like that. That was kind of cool. Your competitiveness was cool, and I admired that in a way, you know, but I mean, obviously he'll be whatever he's going to be, but I kind of wanted to have that drive back because that could have made him, I don't know,

follow whatever dream he had even better. I think if he had a good life and a good chance and some resources is better than hoping. that he's so effed up that he'll chase the stars. I completely agree with that. Yeah, because you don't think it was just based out of fear? Yeah, mine was completely. Yeah.

Completely. I just didn't want to... I was okay to try things because I never had anything. What are you going to do? Worst case scenario, you're back to where he started? Oh, cool. So, but yes, it was all based out of fear. Never had a safety net.

Isn't it fascinating what our brains will do in certain moments to try to protect us? Yeah. Like, this is what, like, your brain was wired to do that because that's what you needed to do to survive. And then, I don't know, I just think it's interesting to think about, especially foster and adopted kids, like how their brains, depending on the type of nurturing situation they were in

in their formative years in those early developmental years, like how it'll just, yeah, can completely wire their brain to just be so scared all the time, but you don't even know it. And their brain is literally just protecting them. But what's so cool to me is that every, kind of has similar things, you know, like when they deal with trauma and that people can talk about it and, you know, just say like, oh yeah, well, my adopted son, he's going through this too. And people can be like, oh, yeah, that's the same thing my son's going through. And that's the same thing my son's going through. I think with my parents, like, they didn't know anything. And no one was talking amongst each other. So it's kind of cool that when you do deal with like Amy and I who both have adoptive kids, we're like, hey, does this happen in tune? We're like, yes, it's the same exact reaction to whatever they went through. I wish I could watch, I wish you could watch, can't wait for a time machine.

Oh boy. I would love to see, like, because I was adopted for a year and a half or so. My grandmother had to like legally tape me because my mom left and they didn't know where she was. Like to see if the kid even knew, because they knew it was in there, but they can't actually understand.

You're getting wired and you're learning, but you don't really know what you're learning. You're being wired by actions and support without being communicated about it. And so, that would be a cool. I wish I had a time machine. Dang it. I get mad.

I get mad and sad now. We don't have a time machine. Start working on it. It's like that girl, Elizabeth Holmes. She was like, I'm going to invent something. I'm going to change the world. Dang it she did it. And look at us all now.

Stashear is starting to watch the show, by the way. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, she's going to be taking notes. But here's the thing. And we've only watched a couple episodes. And I know her story. She wasn't due. She started from a great place. She wanted to do it.

Her idea wasn't a scam the whole time. Oh, I know. That's what I'm saying. She made some bad decisions halfway through that other people have made and made the exact same decision and it worked. Right. And in her case, she just didn't. Yeah. Or she just needed more time.

Yeah. Yeah. So. I know. That's what's so she has been asking me about the engineers and like the people. She's like, where is she now? And I'm like, I think she's awaiting her sentencing. Like she's not in jail yet, but she'll find out later this year.

And she's like, well, what about the engineers? And I'm like, gosh, I just feel so bad because they were just doing what they were hired to do. And they too believed that they really were working towards a greater good. They weren't trying to just get millions and millions upon millions of hundreds of millions of dollars from people. I mean, they were like, she's the first. billionaire that made it, female billionaire that made it on her own, self-made. But that was always her goal, but I don't think she invented this just to make money and not to actually have something that works.

I think her heart and her mind, she's brilliant, was in the right place. She just, in that pivotal time where things had to go hurt, they didn't go away. Where there have been other people who have developed things similarly. And in that time, same scenario, it happened for them. Yeah. But there's probably just moments in which she should have just walked away, but she altered things to appear as though they were working. And that's how she... Is this like we crashed?

Because I don't know the end of that story. Yes. It's actually very similar in that the founders, both founders and creators, they created a false reality to make investors believe that something is bigger and better than it actually was. I have created a false reality to make me think things are bigger and better than they are Interesting You yourself? Yeah, I've been living it for like About 38, 39 years until Kately came along

And I got real Set you straight Yeah, no, and now it now really is great But forever Okay, well I think we're good here For about an hour and a half in Yeah, I don't know

Ray, where are we? 45. All right, people get like a whole other show here Yeah Yeah And sometimes people get mad at us for this, this show specifically. Don't listen to it.

This is like yelling at your volunteer firefighter. Ooh. Oh, that's such a good example. Straight. Thank you. Because they don't have to do it. And they're out working their butts off to make sure you, hopefully, don't have fire at your house. Except for we're not comparing ourselves to rescuers.

You know what? Why not? It's just an analogy. Hey, why not? If your volunteer firefighter, though, doesn't really put out the fire. He kind of like does it half. you know, like it doesn't do it right? You can complain about that, right?

Oh, that's interesting. If you're a volunteer, can you still complain? Yeah. Like, you could have done a better job. Like, you go and yelp it. Well, you give it. My point is, we just hang out and do this to provide extra content people to like the show. Yeah.

That's the, that's it. I think some of these folks would like to go home earlier. Us? Yeah. Are you kidding? They're going to be here until three? But they would get to go home early. No, I will be here until three.

Don't worry about that. You'll leave in five minutes. So we are, let me mention this. Mike, when does this expire? Okay. So you just don't want to finish in the last place in the draft we did today. Oh. So it's all about don't finish last because last place suffers the punishment.

And we drafted our favorite bald people. Ramundo in the big lead right now. What did he have? The Rock, but you don't win anything. You don't get a point. You just don't want to finish. last. Right.

Bobby second, Amy third. What? That's amazing. I thought I was going to be last. Right now, the bottom two. Y'all made me feel like my people were horrible. And I'm in third. Well, you're only one point about lunchbox, so it can happen.

Yeah, let's calm down. One point. Oh, man. Yeah, it's all pretty close. But Morgan's right now is in the last place. Dang. You're the queen of the draft. Yeah, I had a good team.

I felt good about that one. Regardless, that's what's. up right now. It could go anyway. It could go anyway, but I vote at Bobbybones.com. Straight. All right. I'll write that down. One more story. A woman is facing criminal charges after police say she impersonated

the family member of a hospital patient and made end-of-life decisions. What? Why would they do that? She knows or doesn't know. Oh, man. Like for fun? Well, I mean, I don't know the hobby. Why would they do that? It's not like a wedding crasher who goes out of a bunch of weddings.

I don't think they go to... Man. So, she impersonated the family member of a hospital patient. David Marcus died last Sunday. After suffering liver and kidney failure, quote, he said he was ready to go. Said Alicia Marcus, the man's oldest daughter.

He told me that he was on to become a lot of support. He didn't want to live that way. Alicia Marcus said she was listed as her father's primary emergency contact. She visited him. And she called because... When she called for one Saturday evening, she said to come from her like this.

Anyway, somebody went and the person was actually the guy's ex-stepfather's sister's girlfriend. I don't understand. X's stepfather. Yeah, it's a whole thing. Okay. Okay. X, right. X stepfather.

So X stepfather. Okay. Let me just say Arkansas. You're starting with a patient. Yeah. This is the patient. No, the patience. X.

No, no. You're confusing me now. Well, I'm confused. She was the guy's ex-stepfathers. His ex-stepfather. the patients. X stepfather. So I'm the patient.

And the patient is divorced. So listen, I'm the patient. I'm the patient. So ex-stepfathers. So Arkansas, Keith is my step. Ex-stepfather. Okay. Cisters.

Okay. Girlfriends. Child. I don't know. And why do they want you dead? Two women can be dating. I know. Oh, that's her too.

I just making sure that said that right. That did a good job. Thanks, Long, Fox. I didn't know that. I just lost it at like, sisters. I said, what's say your name was again? And I said, I'm Alicia Marcus.

I said, no, you're not. Alicia Marcus was in the hospital room. At first, she thought it was her sister who looked similar. It wasn't. According to a citation. Just a citation? That's what it says. It says, according to a citation from the police department,

Melissa Jones, 23 of Covington, signed in and made life of care decisions for her uncle under the name Alicia Marcus. And advised staff to remove care. Wow. crazy. I bet it doesn't say... I need a reason.

Well, that's the thing. I kept looking for the motivation. Mike, do you see anything like money or... Huh? How much cash can you have in the hospital? Man, was she like... Is that on here? I don't see it on my story.

WLWT News. Anyway, that story's all screwed up. Weird. Lucky Charms is making people sick with symptoms like projectile vomiting and diarrhea. Oh my gosh. I have some in my pantry. Get rid of it.

It's unclear what's making the cereal, so magically nauseating? Okay, okay, guys. They wrote that in right there. That's funny. General Mills says they don't believe it's their cereal, but they're conducting an ongoing review.

That is from the New York Post. Amy, bring in your Lucky Charles and do Wheel of Lucky. Magic, the magical wheel? Yep, magical wheel. That's funny. Okay. Stop it, Amy, so this is how it starts.

Okay. I don't think all Lucky Charms is bad. No, probably not. Probably just like one guy who peed in the bucket. And then that batch. One employee? Yeah, that batch is right. I gotta go really bad, but the restaurants out of order.

It's not the batch I bought. That's right. The bucket. We don't. We don't know. All right, that's it. You guys. I hope you have a good day and we will see you tomorrow.
