It's time for the Bobby Bones Post Show.
Here's your host, Bobby Bones.
Hello, Eddie hit a button.
I forgot that I did pooh-p-poo-poo-poo-poo-pee.
Yeah.
So stupid.
So stupid.
We have these buzzers that Mike found on the internet for like four bucks,
and you could put any sound into them at all.
And I went, I would do pooh-poo-poo-poo-poo-pee.
And so a listener sent me a picture of a hat that said poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-on it over the weekend.
I didn't get it.
And I was like, why does the listener send me a hat says poo-poo-poo-pipi?
And so I messaged them back.
And I'm rarely in my generals.
But I saw that that caught my pooh-poo-poo-pee.
And so I said, why are you, what am I missing?
She goes, pooh-poo-poo-pipi, you're a sound you made.
And I was like, oh, yeah, pooh-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-p.
They made a hat out of it, or was it already this?
It was already made, it said pooh-poo-poo-poo-poo-cuh.
That's funny.
So, she sent me that hat.
She didn't send it to me, she sent me a picture of it and a link.
So pooh-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poh.
It makes me laugh, and I did it.
All right, where do we start?
Let me do a couple of voicemails.
Jennifer and Austin,
voicemail number one, Ray.
I just watched Snake in the Grass.
And Bobby, this is so awkward.
I'm blushing when I say this.
But you have a really nice booty.
Like the camera turned at the end there, and it showed.
And I've always wondered that.
So I'm happy to report that.
Hey, great job on the show.
Thank you very much.
And you know what?
I appreciate that.
Did you notice your booty was on TV?
No.
No.
However, I did have one of my friends yesterday.
two days ago go, hey man.
And it's always weird when a dude goes,
I ain't trying to sound gay.
And I'm like, why would you say it?
Just say, just compliment it.
He's like, well, I just want to say, I'm not.
Well, if you are cool, if you're not cool,
I don't think you are.
You're married.
There's no need to say that.
You can compliment another guy without going,
hey man, I ain't trying to sound gay.
You can just give me a compliment.
And he's like, all right,
I said, but really, I just don't want.
I'm like, no, no need to just say whatever you're going to say.
And he's like, all right, well,
I saw a picture of you doing any comedy shows.
your butt's pretty strong.
And I was like, thanks.
He was, I just don't want to sound gay.
You don't have to say that.
No.
It's really weird that he said your butt looks.
Yeah, I was going to say.
I think he's weird that he has to go,
I don't turn to sound gay.
I don't care if you are or aren't,
and there's no need to say that either way.
And I know you're not, because,
but thank you for my butt compliment.
I would never compliment your butt.
Why not?
Because there's...
Go to my Instagram.
But don't you compliment his shoulders?
Yeah, that's the difference.
Yeah, and he ever compliment another dude's butt?
Never. Never. Never.
Okay, go to my Instagram.
Do I have to look at your butt?
Just go to my Instagram.
Mr. Bobby Bellin.
So let me know when you get there, Eddie.
Okay.
Well, this girl's gonna, who is the caller from Austin?
She should go to your phone.
She's gonna go to the Instagram for sure.
She was already there.
She was always curious about your butt.
Now she knows.
One, two, three.
Is that the first time she'd seen Bobby's butt?
Well, I guess I'm to say, though.
Eddie, scroll down five lines.
Okay.
Do you see the picture of me doing stand up with the opery
with the blue shirt,
hold the microphone on the right hand?
Gosh, man, it's going to grow down a little bit.
It's just five lines.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I see it. Yeah, strong butt game.
Right. And I never really had a butt.
Look, lunchbox.
So what are you attributing this to, like squats?
What I'm attributing to is...
He won't look at your butt.
Dude, look at it.
It's like my dog when he's in trouble for peeing on the carpet.
And I'm like, did you do that? And he won't even look at the pants.
I'm not looking, dude.
But it's not a bet.
Just look at the butt.
He's got pants on.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I'm moving away from that.
I do not want to look at it.
My point is when I hurt my shoulder and I could not do anything.
Well, I couldn't do most things with my upper body.
We focused heavily on legs and a lot of that is butt, squats, deadlift, all that.
It just happens to be there.
And it dramatically changed my legs and butt by spending four or five months focused on it almost solely.
So even my wife is like, you should wear like shorts like normal people wear now.
And I'm like, what do you mean?
She goes, well, mostly wear 90s church league shorts, like down to your knees.
It was a baggy ones.
Yeah.
And I'm like, well, those are.
comfortable. She goes, but, but your legs are now super strong. So I try to wear normal person shorts now.
And so, but yeah, my legs have gotten a lot stronger, but that's just from that. My shoulder being
hurt. So, but now we still do a lot of legs. And also that's where that's where your testosterone comes from.
What, your butt? Working your legs. You want to elevate your testosterone. It's lifting in your legs.
I don't even help with that. Have you had your hormones tested?
No. I know. Yeah. Years ago. I mean, it sounds like, I know, it's just something for,
As a woman, being 41 now, one of my friends mentioned it to me about talking to my gynecologist about it.
And I'm like, oh, I'm scared.
I don't want to know what hormones are off.
But I do feel like they're off because I'm just very emotional all the time.
But you mentioned testosterone and estrogen, you know, there's all the different things.
I didn't know if you knew where you fell.
But maybe you're producing your own with your leg lifts.
Well, the doctor was, I remember looked at my thing and he was like, I think we mixed up this with a horse.
And he was like, okay.
What?
He didn't say that.
Stop.
He was, because the vet was next door and he was like, this testosterone.
Hey.
So he called the vet over and he goes, no, that's Bobby the human.
And I was like, wow.
If I still like want to all the time, like I'm good, right?
With the testosterone?
Wana what?
Wana, wanna.
Grona what?
Right?
Is it or is like if I don't ever want it?
I don't worry.
This is from what I think.
And I don't know because I am a doctor.
We are a doctor.
You are a doctor.
I just don't specialize in this.
I think that could, if that was happening,
where you had no sex drive, that could be a problem with your testosterone.
But because you have that doesn't mean your testosterone has to be, as to be right.
You could be lacking in other parts of it.
Yeah, you're still low tea, man.
I don't know.
I've never, I've never been low tea.
I don't know that you're low tea.
I don't know that you're not.
I don't know that's what I'm saying.
You can't.
I thought that baldness meant high tea.
Well, guys, there's nothing to do with my baldness.
I was just having me taking a shot.
I've been losing hair for years.
That's not what I thought.
My, Eddie, here's what I think is that.
It doesn't mean you're fine.
But I want to.
You know what I mean?
You saw my butt and how you want it?
No.
Like, I feel like the day I stopped wanting.
No, no, no, but I hear you.
But I don't think that's the only factor in not having.
Yeah, decreased sense of well-being.
Eddie has that.
That's my point.
Depressed mood.
What do you have that.
I'm getting better.
With concentration and memory, Eddie has that.
Fatigue, Eddie.
Mootiness and irritability.
That's Eddie.
Yeah, so you're five or six, but you do still want it.
Okay.
My very limited knowledge is if your sex drive is very low, it could mean a lack of testosterone.
Oh, hair loss is one too.
But because your sex drive is high, it doesn't mean your testosterone is just rocking.
That's just one factor.
It's one string in the thread of testosterone.
Thanks, Doc.
All right, yeah, thanks, Doc.
Appreciate it.
Let me know what I need to do.
I have no idea about estrogen.
Will Smith has apologized to Chris Rock for slapping him at the Oscars.
He made a video and I'll play you some of it.
Here is Will apologizing to Chris Rock.
Why didn't you apologize to Chris in your acceptance speech?
I was fogged out by that point.
I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk.
And when he is, he will reach out.
So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize.
to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk.
Here he is talking about Jada, his wife. After Jada rolled her eyes, did she tell you to do something?
No. You know, I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences, from my history with Chris,
Jada had nothing to do with it. I'm sorry, babe.
I'm going to say sorry to my kids and my family for the heat that I brought on all of us.
So what I heard there, though, isn't full apology in that clip.
I mean, it's apology, but he kind of slides in my history with Chris.
Like something had happened there before.
And he just kind of tosses that in there in the midst of what he's saying.
But he's like, because of that in my history with Chris,
makes you go, well, I guess they had some sort of beef,
and that was kind of what pushed him to do this a little more.
I don't think he needed to do that there.
And it's also like a Q&A.
He's kind of laughing a little bit.
Yeah, what's he reading there?
I don't know he's reading anything.
I think somebody's with him.
Oh, he's reading questions.
Okay.
Yes, a question, is that what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, like who's asking those questions?
A question's been asked, and so he's answering it.
Here he is talking about taking a few months to reflect on what has happened.
I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and the complexities of what
happened in in that moment and i'm not going to try to unpack all of that right now but i can say to
all of you there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment i saw
chris rock responding to this is a bad audio clip if i'm going to paraphrase terribly he was like
everybody trying to make themselves a victim like you you can't be a victim after you punch somebody
and then he said people always like oh words hurt
and he's like yeah you don't say that
after you've been punched it's kind of that type thing
so he didn't respond directly to Will Smith
but he was talking about it
to a crowd
but I don't know if a Q&A Apollo
who cares? This is very unresolved
yeah because Chris isn't ready
but also who cares
I mean you guys still worry about that crap
no nobody's worried about it
this whole show lunchbox
just things that happen in the news.
And we talk about it for a second.
And if it's not interesting, we move away from it.
What I'm saying is, I can't believe this is still news.
But it is because nobody's ever talked about it.
And it's news because it's got millions and millions of views.
So apparently some people are like,
all you guys do is post a stupid thing on the website.
Nobody cares.
And we look at our web data and it's like the most viewed thing ever.
It's like, obviously some people do because it's our most viewed thing.
Okay.
Maybe I just thought the world had moved on.
The world has moved on.
We did move on.
And we don't care at all.
but because he came back and talked about it
and I was like oh this is interesting
oh him and Chris's history I know they had that
and I always assume like when stuff like that happens
behind closed doors they do talk about it
like hey apologize whatever it's cool to see that
nothing's really happened like he tried to reach out
Chris is like I'm not ready to talk about it and they're still just waiting
I feel like the move probably because I'm sure
Will Smith is not getting
he's not getting the love publicly that he did before
Will Smith was universally loved
before this and there's
and now he popped a dude in the face on TV
and showed a weird side.
out of him. Just the whole thing. Odd. Just odd. So it's a little bit of damage control too.
And him figuring out how to do it while still not admitting he was just, I don't know.
It's a weird kind of nuance type thing where I think the move would have been like, hey, it's Will.
Chris, I've tried to call you. You won't respond to me. I'm really sorry. I'm just going to say it here.
I'd like to talk to you, but I'm also very sorry. And I shouldn't act like that. If you want to hit me up, would love it.
But I just want to put this here publicly. Then you could just walk, walk off.
that ain't going to get the views that this thing got.
It's not as entertaining to us, even though we're like, I don't care.
But yeah, that's the deal.
So he's apologizing.
And yeah, I just hadn't thought about it at all.
But man, what an awkward.
I mean, really one of the most absurd things I've ever seen on live television.
Yeah.
I was peeing.
And I looked at my phone.
I was like, what?
Because I'll keep my phone in my right hand and my left.
And so I looked.
And I was like, what?
And I thought somebody, I thought it was a bit on the Oscars.
That was a bit.
Awesome.
It's awesome.
Live TV rules, man.
Live TV rules.
All right.
So there's that.
Let's see.
A man wins another huge lottery prize at the same location where he won a million dollars.
Wow.
These people that keep winning lottery money, not just once.
Because that's just somebody's going to win because they're just going to give it away until someone does.
One person out of millions and millions are going to win.
So the odds are going to win very little.
But to win a bunch of money, 20.
Weiss is just crazy.
The guy's name's Kevin Miller of Massachusetts.
He recently won $25,000 a year for life in a lottery game.
He purchased a ticket, did the whole deal.
Instead of taking it, he won the $390,000.
He took the money before taxes, but it wasn't the first time that he'd won because he'd hit
before.
And it's just, I guess, I want to know how much he spent.
Yeah, that's interesting.
And what game is he playing and how?
It seems like the scratch off's the way to go, though.
It does seem that that's where the stories are.
are in the news, you know, because you get the random
draws or whatever, but the scratch-off seems
to hit more. Gosh, I just can't
believe he can win a million
and then $25,000 a year
for life. Like, goodness.
Cadillac riches, the name of the game.
That's what you need to do. He's writing it down.
Instead of $20,000 a year, he cashed out for $390,000.
That's probably smarter.
Yeah.
Well, if you're going to get $25,000
a year, depending on what you already
make, because
the taxes will be different on that, depending on how much
you already make. You know you guys know how it works? No. So there are different
levels. That's brackets. I've heard of that. Yeah, I was just going to say levels.
There are different levels and when you hit a level, you hit a new amount percentage that comes
out. But what happens is when you hit that new percentage, you then owe money as if you hit the
percentage on that before that you didn't pay yet. That's how you owe money. So let's say the
first bracket is you make $5 a year. So you make $5 a year, you only have to give away 10 cents.
Well, when you make $6 a year, you have to give away 20 cents from now on. So from then on,
you give away 20 cents. But then you got to give 20 cents over all that stuff you only gave
10 cents for. So you owe 10 cents more for all that first level too. Oh, gosh. So if you go
up to level three, well, then you owe the remaining of two that you didn't do and the remaining
of one you didn't do. And so I had to learn all this because we're, we'd have any money. We
didn't, I don't even know what happened there.
But then it's like, all right, read a book.
And I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
And I read all these, and I was like, I still don't really understand.
It's complicated.
But what's happened for me, what I do to feel smart, not smart, what I do to feel like I kind
of have a grasp of what's going on, on YouTube, they're always really elementary type
videos that are explaining extremely to me high level things.
Like when I'm trying to figure out what's going on with a recession, when I'm, they have
like cartoons basically. They have dumb dumb videos. It's not one company making them, but I can find a
dumb, dumb video on anything. And I watch it for six minutes and I'm like, oh, I can't get into an
argument with somebody on Capitol Hill, but I can kind of explain what a recession is, you know,
basically two quarters of what? I'm just picturing you. I think you actually probably could get
into an argument with someone at Capitol Hill. But I can't, I don't know. Vos and still win.
But I don't know that that's true. But it's like two consecutive,
quarters of non-growth or backward or not growing. So like that's a, I need to know that.
And I'm like, okay, that's a recession. So what's a, but I watch dumb dumb videos because I'm a dumb.
So what bracket is like, uh, like, uh, Bezos in? Well, there's the same. There is.
But it's the, and here's how they get away with different things. Once you hit, and Mike could
probably find this for me, once you hit a certain percentage of money, there's not another bracket.
you just pay like 45%
like straight up.
And once you hit,
but then you're just that forever.
There's not another bracket.
You just don't keep going
until you run out of money.
You know, different people think that should change.
But then there's just ways
that you can put money in places
or loan money to yourself.
Oh, yeah.
There are all these little things.
Well, and yeah, the wealthier you are
than the smarter like money people
you have around you that are like,
oh, we do this, we do this, finagle that.
So it's basically, it's almost 40%
if you make $523,600 a year or more.
And so once that starts happening,
but then the thing is,
let's say you're paying that 37%.
Well, it's only 10% if you make zero to $14,000 a year,
but then you have to go pay all those other percentages
from all the money you made,
the 10% of the 12, 22, the 24th, 32.
So if you have somebody that guesses what you're going to make,
speculates, and then tries to pay it as it goes.
or puts it away and then pays it at the end of the year.
This stresses me out.
Jeff Bezos paid $1.4 billion in federal taxes
between 2006 and 2018.
On $6.5 billion, he reported his income,
while his wealth increased by $127 billion
during the same period.
But how does it as an increase?
Stock goes up.
That's in stock.
You don't pay tax on that unless cash it out.
He paid a billion in taxes.
That is so awesome.
Like, that is so cool.
That's got to hurt, though.
No, I don't.
Even if you have,
have five billion dollars. It doesn't hurt.
Signing one, he's like, oh, I got to give away one point, whatever.
This is not fun.
He doesn't bat an eye at that, dude.
I don't think he has to bat an eye at anything.
At least not financially.
69-year-old man arrested.
By the way, if I'm a little bit wrong on this stuff, I don't even care of you to tell me.
Because I'm admitting, I watch very broad, dumb, dumb videos, and sometimes I don't even take
them and understand them in a way that I can translate it.
I just, when they're talking about it on the news, I just kind of want to know what the broad
stroke of what's happening. So, because we did one on inflation where I kind of talked to you guys
through that. Remember if the economy? Oh yeah. I do remember that. If the entire economy only only
has one dollar in it, like all everybody only, all together is one dollar and then someone throws
another dollar on it. Now it's $2 where everything you just bought is now valued weirdly. And so they
got to raise the price on it because now everybody has double the money. And so, but then the money
eventually goes away and then everything still costs away more. And so unless there's some sort
of recession or slowdown, it's never going to adjust itself back, which is happening right now.
And you got that from a dumb, dumb video.
Two cartoons.
It's pretty cool.
And you understand all that, Eddie?
I mean, yeah, for the most part.
Okay.
Yeah, I get inflation.
I only do it because cartoons.
And we do now because of you.
Bugs Bunny.
I like they do Bugs Bunny.
69-year-old man arrested in Tokyo has been driving for 50 years without a license.
They should give him an honorary license at this point.
Even if they pull him over, he's 69, 50 years had this license.
He's been driving without a license.
they should give him an honorary license.
Yeah, like common law,
you know.
Especially if he hasn't
killed anybody.
Yeah.
And what's the difference?
Like, when's the last time
I took a driving test?
Like,
it's been forever.
We shouldn't need to, right?
You shouldn't.
And all we have licenses, right?
We all have licenses.
That's a good point.
But it's like you take a test
when you're young,
then you just renew your license online
and you're all good?
Yeah, we don't do driver's ed again.
Until like your vision could get off.
No, I cheat on mine.
What?
I think everyone does.
My vision part.
I put my good eye in there twice.
I told you guys.
that before. I take my left eye.
No, they don't, I'm telling you, the people working,
they don't give a crap. They just want to go home at five.
I put my eyes in it and they go, all right, let's do
the left eye first. And so my left eyes works.
I'm like, uh, the ease point up.
Okay, the east point to the right. All right.
No E. Okay, cool. Like, all right, do the other eye.
So I take my whole head out and I move my left eye
over that hole. And I go,
all right, he's pointing up. He's pointing down.
All right, cool. You're all good, son.
There we go.
Easy's pie. They never questioned a dang word.
I have little troll parallel parking still,
but I haven't taken a test
since I'm 16.
You have problems with street lights?
No, because they're bright
and I know
they're so different
and I know one, two, three, the order
so I could even be seeing it in my head
just because I know.
Meaning I know that red's easy for me.
That's the color I can universally see
the dark until it gets the darkest.
Blues, black screens, all that.
Black's always black, but grays.
I lose them way earlier than I do red.
And by lose them, everything looks black
once it hits a certain point.
red for some reason
stays red to me longer
which is why I have so much stuff that's red
it doesn't hurt that also it's Arkansas color
but it's a mixture of that
like you'll see me in a lot of red stuff
or have a lot of red stuff and that's why

a $7 million castle is listed for sale
the castle's over 8,000 square feet
it's designed to be a two bedroom
two bath, what the heck
two bedrooms by 8,000 square foot
castle or two there better be like a dungeon
Maybe they're not listed
The dungeon is a bedroom
A kitchen and a living space
But it's a castle
It looks awesome
It is Lake Pinned
Oriel
What is this Mike?
Is this America?
Yeah, I know
Really?
That thing looks awesome
It just looks like it should be
More than two bedrooms
8,000 square feet
It does not have modern heating
Wait what?
They want to keep it like real
Like a castle castle?
What?
This is like an old bronco
where they want to keep everything legit.
Get out of here.
We need all the original parts.
Yeah, no way.
Our Bronco, they were like,
you should really keep this thing all.
Authentic.
No, I want an air conditioner that works.
It's like, I want shocks that don't,
if I hurt my bones when we hit something.
So, yeah, our Bronco is awesome.
This castle, it looks cool on the inside,
but no heating.
That's crazy.
That's pretty neat.
See what else we have here.
Only two bedrooms?
No, I'm confused looking at it.
That's what I'm saying.
It's just, remember when George Strait was selling his house?
And it was like, buy George Strait's mansion, two bedrooms, one bath.
And it was like 10,000 square feet.
Like, how big are these bedrooms?
I think it also had a casita in the back.
Little house.
$7 million.
Your monthly payment is $34,000 a month.
If you want to get this, it looks pretty cool.
We'll put it up on our Twitter if you guys want to go see it.
Cable companies order to pay $7 billion to the family of a Texas woman murdered by repairman.
What?
Wow, she let him in the house and killed her.
A Texas jury has ordered Charter Communications to pay $7 billion in punitive damages
to the family of an 83-year-old grandmother robbed a murder by a cable repair man
who arrived in the company's van while off the clock.
This is so sad.
Charter, which owns Spectrum, was also deemed responsible for $337.5 million in damages
for the December 2019 murder of Betty Joe McLean Thomas.
Roy James Holden pleads guilty to Thomas' murder
and was sentenced to life in prison.
Thomas attorney said the Holden has lied about past jobs
and Charter hadn't verified his employment
had the company done so and discovered the lie
he would have been disqualified for being hired.
At Charter of Court records show Holden
to racked up disciplinary actions
and taken pictures of driver's license and credit cards
at the homes of two elderly female customers.
He asked his operation manager for money
and he requested mental health intervention
through Charter's Employee Assistance Program.
That's from USA Today.
horribly tragic
I can't believe
it's $7 billion with a B
even that even all that
I can't believe it's with the B
Who would I mean the company
The cable company would have to pay that
Yeah charter
That's a huge hit
Seven B a B a B
Yeah
$7 billion
freaking porky pig right now
But B B B yeah
B B B yeah
And they deserve
anything they can get
And everything they can get
That is just a really awful
Awful awful story in situation
A woman
spent 16 years in row
pregnant. Now it feels weird without a kid
in her. Oh my goodness.
A mom of 12 who spent
16 consecutive years basically carrying a baby
says she's adjusting to the fact that she
no longer is expecting and it's weird
to her. She wants to have one more
but she's almost 40 years old and
they talk about their relationship and how many kids
they got 15, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3
these are their kids' ages.
And for her, she married
16 years and every year she's been pregnant. Oh my gosh.
That's so crazy. A lot of kids. A lot of kids. Good like a family though. Like they're all good looking.
Everybody's good looking in that family. I'd be the one that was born not.
The one. Yeah, the one with like an ear on his forehead. Um, all right. Well, there's that. Let's play
a voicemail number two, Ray, that we got last night. Hey, but tonight. I've been waiting for
this show to start. Hi, thank you so much, Bobby, for the TV shows and the radio show and
everything you do.
that. Thank you. I hope you guys watch tonight.
I'd like to keep my job and I'd like to get the show on there.
Yeah, let's go. Watch that show tonight, guys. What are you doing?
So remind people where?
USA Network 11, 10 Central.
It's that easy. Oh, I already knew. Thank you.
I just think the listeners.
Here's a voice mail number four.
What up, Bobby. We are at the Garthburg concert in Dallas, Texas with my friend, Grace.
How are you doing great?
That's awesome. They thought of you at Garth.
They did. I like that.
Every time Garth plays somewhere, I'm at.
I get a message going, are you opening?
We open one.
That'd be so cool.
I'd be tired, though.
I'd be tired.
Eddie and I played the Bluebird last night.
So, true story is I
know the people at the Bluebird
really well, and I've played there,
I don't know, six or seven times,
and the Bluebird is where, like,
Garth Brooks was kind of discovered.
So many artists, it's a very songwritory place.
It's almost impossible to get into.
If you watch the Bluebird documentary,
you can get it on Amazon.
It's really good.
talking about the Bluebird.
So I said to people to run the Bluebird, I said,
hey, I'm playing a couple shows in town
and I just need some time on stage
because I'm not a touring comedian,
so I just can't get a bunch of reps in.
So, is it okay if I can play one of the nights?
And I'm like, why don't you do a half hour thing
in the middle of our songwriter night on Sunday?
I said, great.
They said, 10 o'clock.
I said, ooh, can't do that.
They said, okay, well, you can do it in the middle way of this?
How about you do it at nine?
I was like, that sounds great.
Can I still do half an hour?
They're like, yeah, sure.
So, cool.
So this is like three or four weeks ago.
So I had this night.
We were in town.
It was Sunday night.
And I was just going to go play some songs.
And not so much tell jokes, but tell stories.
And see if people laughed during a story that I think is funny.
Because then I can know where to build that out if I'm going to do a joke.
And so I'm whatever.
And I hit Eddie up like two days before.
I was like, hey, man, I know you know I'm playing the Bluebird.
We've done this before.
But if you want to come out, come.
And Eddie goes, I never played the Bluebird.
I was like, what?
Never.
I didn't know you'd never played the Bluebird.
I mean, come on.
I've been there once.
I saw Thomas Wrette and his dad, Red Aiken's play,
and that was the only thing that I've ever.
I've always tried.
I tried to go one time just as a, ooh, let me show up.
It was packed.
There was no way I can get in.
Packed, though, 45 people.
Oh, yeah, that's max.
It's very, small.
So, and there's, it's not glamorous in that Eddie and I went to the back door
because it was halfway through,
and there's no room, there's no, like, room to sit around.
We're in the hallway by the kitchen trying to tune our guitars,
and I was going to go out and do a little stuff,
and that was going to bring Eddie out
like 10 minutes into it.
And so as I'm about to walk out,
the guy's introducing me.
And I hear,
Buh,
I was like, what the turn out?
Eddie had dropped his guitar
right in the hallway.
Not only did I drop it,
all my strings went out of tune.
Like right before we go on.
And so,
the only three people are me,
my wife,
and Eddie.
And so I go out
and I'm talking about something
and I play a little song.
And I say,
all right.
And I'd have told Eddie,
I said,
hey man because I was told to
and it did nothing for me because I didn't believe it
I said hey man you're in the bluebird people are
right on top of you I mean
they are sitting right and it feels
weird until you get used
to it but it's just like this intense thing
so heads up it's gonna be fun
so I go out and do it I say Eddie come out
and you do there's no like backstage you walk through
the people and so
you have to walk through everyone in me just like excuse me
somebody's eating soup but pardon me man
I'm gonna hit you with my guitar
if you don't move so Eddie
sits down and he plays a song
his strings are way out. Oh my gosh. But you really don't know. Listen, you really
don't know. Oh, I could tell. I could too, but nobody really knows. And so we finish
and Eddie's like, he's like, I got a tune. And we do this thing. We play, play a few songs,
tell a few stories, half an hour. So I feel like it's pretty good appearance. Maybe not
the best raging idiots appearance. No, no chance. But overall, it was a fun thing for me. I needed to do it.
And Eddie and are playing the opera on Tuesday this week, right?
Yeah, Tuesday.
And so, and he just was working out some stuff.
And we were walking out after.
And he goes, yeah, those people are sitting right on you.
He said, it's weird.
Yeah.
It was very weird, man.
I wanted my first time at the Bluebird to be like, wow, it was amazing.
We killed it.
It was great.
And I felt so like, I was so nervous.
The fact that somebody was sitting less than three feet away from you.
He takes his arm and that's what's awesome about it.
but as someone in the bluebird watching.
You could hear people say things
about you as you're playing.
Like whispering.
Yeah, whispering like,
oh, that's cool.
That's funny.
At least they were saying cool and funny.
Well,
no,
then there was some other words
and I couldn't really like understand.
And then that's kind of where
I would lose focus
could I be like,
well,
what are they saying over there?
While we're trying to play the song,
like, they're so close they can touch you.
They just reach out touch you.
That's crazy,
so we played last night
and the next time it's much easier
because you just know what you're getting into.
The first time I was the same way.
I was by myself.
Not sure they're going to have any back, though, after that.
No, it was good.
It was funny.
It was funny.
It was funny.
We could.
Hey,
are there people in that crowd that are, like, looking to discover?
Like, because I kept looking around, like, who's a record exactly?
We got a couple offers.
Did we?
No.
No, not.
I mean, if they do a showcase, somebody might come there.
Okay.
But there are showcases all over town.
So, they could be.
But it's not like it used to be.
You want to get discovered now?
You know where you go?
TikTok.
TikTok.
Yeah.
Yeah, TikTok.
TikTok.
I had Bailey Zimmerman on, who's big.
I mean, he's on the podcast Friday.
His story is so crazy.
He went to high school, graduated high school,
is out working oil,
and he'd never sang in his life
and didn't know how to play guitar.
And so, I'm going to paraphrase this
and may be wrong, but he recorded,
he sang at a basketball court.
What did he, Luke Homb Song?
With a couple friends, that was it.
He just like sang,
because everybody hung on the basketball court.
Sunday morning, I do,
And I said, like, hey, you're pretty good.
He did it.
So he has a friend that plays guitar.
And he was like, I'll sing with you.
And they recorded it and put it up two million views one day.
Never sing.
He said he probably didn't sing three times ever in front of people.
Didn't play guitar.
Put it up two million bucks.
Call the oil place.
And I said, hey, guys, I quit.
Two million views.
Yeah, two million views.
Sorry.
So I quit.
And I was like, you just quit.
He goes, boy, he said, yeah, it's pandemic.
And they weren't working a lot anyway.
And he was like, I called the unions that I'm out.
And so he's like, we just started figuring it out.
He said, never written a song, never sang a song.
And he's one of the top two
most consumed people in country music right now.
Period. All across the board
as far as music. And so he came
over, but he's so honest about it.
And he's like, yeah, dude, it's crazy. I can't believe that.
22?
Did you say that?
Yeah, no, I don't think so. Just young.
And so he just wanted to, he got
on TikTok, he didn't even get on to do music.
He just joined off, he can build trucks.
So he was like, check out this truck.
He'd do truck shows.
And all the sudden, he's like,
I'm barely zim.
And people are like, what?
So he's killing it.
It's awesome.
So I enjoyed it.
And he came over and I told him at the end.
I was like, man, I'm surprised and relieved and I'm refreshed that you're just not a douche.
Because you definitely could be.
22, all the success quickly, didn't know you were good at something that now you are.
You're figuring it out.
All this stuff's coming at you at once.
And I just felt like, based on our conversation, like I liked him.
And he was like, you know who I like.
He's like, my influences, and he didn't lie about his influences.
So many people come in and like, they have to figure out a way to say Merle or Waylon.
Yeah.
And you don't have to say it.
I don't think you're in a last country if you can't tell them apart.
Because most people can't naturally unless you grew up with it.
And so maybe Cash and Willie, you can.
I could see where people definitely get confused on Merle and Wayland a little bit.
Those would be the two I would say, you can't.
Okay, it's fine.
And so I wouldn't care.
I was like, he was like, you know who my influences are?
Dave Grohl
Chad Kroger from Nickelback
What? He said that? He did, I thought it was awesome
Weird. He did. He's the only one.
Scott Statt from Creed.
He said that too? Oh my gosh.
Eddie's like, what's thought? Hey, I'd expect him to be a DB too.
Not from that.
I thought it was so cool. Even though he knew, probably
people don't think like they're the coolest, I do.
Some people, he was like, those are the people I grew up listening to.
And he listed off a couple of the rock.
He was like, the lead singer from Tesla, from the 70s,
he goes, let's do him all the time growing up.
Wow.
That is crazy how I keep seeing him places.
Do you have any Bailey Zimmerman in the computer?
Like physically, you see?
Do you have rock in a hard place?
No, not physically.
Amy's like, he's always a mask.
Online, signs, I don't know, billboards or something.
What do you have?
Fall in love.
Okay, hit it here.
We'll just get a little.
Just like you always said we would.
Packed your bags in that old four on all that I bought you when things were good.
I'm glad to see the stops
I didn't hit you
Bring you back to your senses
Oh, it waved you gone goodbye
You got a brand new man
So that's Bailey Zimmer
Didn't even know he could sing
Yeah
It's like never tried to sing
It's like 31 this week on the chart
She's only 22
So it'll be up on Friday
I thought it was really great there
All right
I think that's it for now
I appreciate you guys being here.

So get those.
And other than that, we're out.
We'll see you tomorrow.
All right.
Bye, everybody.
All right.
