Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey.

And we have been joined at the head. hips since high school. Absolutely. A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games

in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? They hit a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go.

Come on, Bobby. Transmitting. Welcome to the show, a big one. Rice, Rice coming in just a few minutes. He's got a new record and found the front

of his album to be different from what he usually does. I like it. I think it's a pretty an emotional picture for him as well. So we'll get to that,

but let me say, morning to the studio. Morning. All right, let's go around the room and see what's up. We'll check in here. You know,

he thinks he has a good golf swing, but he's better at just breaking random things because of his rage. Like brooms and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Here he is.

Producer Eddie, everybody. Here he is. Guys, something weird is going on. So, like two weeks ago, I was standing on the side of the street talking to someone and like a gust of wind blew. And I felt something hit my ankle. I looked down.

It's a $20 bill. And I'm like, this is crazy. I pick it up. I ask the person I'm talking to, is this yours? No, it's not mine. I look around. No one else is there. I guess it's mine.

I keep it. Well, yesterday I'm walking in the parking lot from the grocery store. And I'm putting the cart away in one of those bins. And again, I look down to my ankle, a dollar bill. Like, this is crazy. I pick up the dollar bill. I look over, there's another dollar bill. And I look over there, there's another dollar bill.

Five dollar bills in the parking lot. I pick it up. I look around. Does anyone drop this? I don't see anyone. There's an old man getting a pickup truck. I'm like, I'm assuming it's his maybe. I walk to him.

Sir, did you lose this money? He's like, I did not. I don't think so. Well, keep it anyway. I don't know. Why did you give it to him? Yes, it was $5. Why not, right?

So then I'm thinking, like, is this a sign? I know Amy's going to agree with me. Is it a sign for what? Maybe I need money. Or maybe you're living right and something's coming. I don't think it's that you need money. Hold on. I need money, but I just gave it away.

Like, if you need money, why wouldn't you keep it? Well, I didn't read the sign right. I would think it's more of, one, just, it's just bizarre. It's crazy. It's just lucky. Good for you. I never had a wind, blow a single thing to me that's worth it. And then two, maybe you're just doing it.

I don't know, man. Good thing's happen. Next time the wind blows like that, look down. Anytime it's a windy day, Eddie, it's just walking around outside. Hello. All right, that is weird. All right, up next, he is three credits short of graduating college, but that's probably not why he lacks so much knowledge.

Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Guys, I'm just here to tell you something very exciting happening in my life. The 05 Ultima, we passed 214,000 miles yesterday. Wow. 214,000 miles. The 05 Ultima is still going strong and it felt so good. That's significant.

That is incredible. ever going to get a new car? Not until she dies. Completely. You're going to go, so if she dies, though, you can't get any trade in. Not that you're going to get a lot for it now anyway. If you go to Kelly Blue Book or whatever that thing is,

it's like $250 max. You owe them money? Max. How much is this worth? Negative. I think my tires cost more than the car is worth. Is it safe for your kids to ride in? Why would it not be?

That's old. It's got locks and doors and windows and an engine. Does it have a hole for your feet like Fred Flintstone? No, no, it doesn't have a hole in the floorboard or anything like that, but it's got 214,000 miles. Woo-hoo! What's the worst thing about it right now? The heater doesn't work.

And what's the best? The AC still blows ice chunks, baby. Like, I've never had to do anything to that AC, and it still works like a charm. That's crazy. How long do you think it'll last? I don't, I mean, I don't know. In the year?

I'm hoping into the year. You get $250,000, I think. I know you've said that, I think you could do a commercial. You can call and be like, yo, I got a commercial we need to do here. I don't know if it's got another 35,000, though. That's a lot of miles.

But we are nurturing her. Congratulations. I even took her to the car wash the other day. As I'm talking about it. Nice job. Next up, she's bringing her four things with Amy Brown podcast to Nashville to do it live. But some say she can hardly drive. Here she is.

Amy, everybody. So I was out to you with some girlfriends and one of them is dating. So a topic came up about unattractive traits in men. And there was three that everybody unanimously agreed upon. And the first one was lack of ambition. It's like totally under-draintra. They're not driven, ambitious, not cool. What if it's not an ambition, though, that's money?

It doesn't have to be money. Okay, just passion. An ambition to follow a passion of some sort. Sure. Got it. Got it. Got it. To run a nonprofit where you get paid, not much at all.

Whatever. Low emotional intelligence. Define emotional intelligence? Just being, like, knowing emotionally how to respond to something in a mature way, like working through some stuff. Now, some people, given their background, they weren't given the opportunity. She's talking to me, guys. I know, because I develop very slow with my emotional intelligence. However, you're working on it.

So that's the ambition. There's drive to want to like, okay, how can I realize this about myself? How can I make it better? So as long as they're working on it. Because some people, it's just difficult because of how they were raised. And then the third one was if they drink way too much. It's just, like they can't, if you're out on a date and the guy decides to drink. How many glasses of wine is too much if you're out on a first or second date, according to you and your lady friends?

For the guy. Okay, so for them or the guy? The guy shouldn't be drinking the wine. Well, I guess it did. Okay, I don't know what the guy drinks. What does the guy drink? A beer. Okay.

A dinner? Like a man. Sure. Whatever, but. Go ahead. Everybody drinks something different. But I would say, let's cap it off at two. That's fine.

For dinner? Yeah. You're out on a date. So you shouldn't have three? Nah, I mean. What if you're at a concert, though? Okay. You can get smashed.

He said dinner. Who wants to get smashed, though? Lunchbox. You still want to get smashed? Like, that's still fun to you? Yeah, sometimes it's like. Smash. Let it go.

Yeah. You like that. Yeah. If you didn't have kids, you do it more. Yeah. Even today at 41 or whatever you are. Yes. It's hard with kids.

though, because they wake up early. Your head's hurting. You're still smashed. Yeah, like, it doesn't matter what time you go to bed, they're getting up at the same time. So if you stay up until three, guess what? They're still getting up at 5.30. It's like, oh, well, that wasn't fun. Well, you used to say, just let them be.

Well, it's hard. Now they come and jump on you. Oh, got it. Now they can get out of their bed. They picked the lock. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, you're up. From Mount Pine, Arkansas.

He has a football and NASCAR helmet on his table, and in the morning, sometimes he has a bagel. Bobby Bones. You do? Never. I don't think I've ever seen a mean a bagel, but... That's a good rhyme, though. It worked.

Yeah, never bagel. Chase Rice is coming in a little bit, which I mentioned. And I got to tell you, I have had a kind of sometimes good, sometimes not good relationship with Chase, just randomly. I mean, for no real significant reason. And so I was pretty excited he was coming in because we hashed it out beforehand. I told a joke at my comedically inspirational show about Chase Rice. Mostly it's about Kane Brown, but then I turned it into a Chase Rice situation. And so I'm going to play the joke again.

And then I want to talk about what happened after the joke. Go ahead. Let's talk about Kane Brown. I mean, it's mind-blowing to me that Kane Brown wasn't nominated tonight. Kane broke all kinds of records this year. He's broken streaming records. He's broken touring records. He has a massive cereal.

Kane Brown gets screwed more than Chase Rice at a Middle Tennessee sorority party. There he is, old Chase. He's good-looking. He is a ladies man. Chase opened up for me once in Austin, and I saw more girls get on his tour bus than were played on Country Radio last year. So that happened.

I put the clip up. And then you know, some people got upset with me. Chase didn't really get upset with me, but I was over at Jake Owen's house. He was at my Christmas party, and Jake's a really good friend of mine. And he's like, hey, Chase is here. And I was like, oh, cool.

Well, Chase is a lot bigger than I am. And I purposely hadn't been around, Chase. And so I was like, oh, cool, if I see him, I'll say whatever. I'm that's, he's probably can take a joke. And so then Jake,

being what Jake does, he goes and grabs him, goes, hey, Chase, come here, hey, he's Bobby. And, like, puts us together. They're like, okay, you guys do some stuff.

Say what you're going to say. I'm like, wait, this is, what's, Jake, why did you do this? And so we talked for like half an hour and he wasn't mad at all. And he was like, did I open for you?

I was like, yeah. I was like, oh, yeah. Well, well, I guess you're right. And then that was it. And then we talked for a long time and he was like, I felt like a different dude. I think he's been through some crap.

He's like, man, I put this record out. I've never sang songs that were so, like, real life about me instead of just, like, party songs. And so now the record's out, and he's going to be in a little bit. But, like, it went from me telling that joke, wondering if I was getting beat up, to me being with him, wondering if I was going to beat up. And then we kind of, I mean, we may have talked for an hour at the end,

just him and I just hanging out. So it's the longest we've ever talked, and I'm pretty excited he's coming in in a little bit. But if I didn't address the joke thing here. Oh, yeah. Our listeners have been like, why don't you say anything about the joke? Yeah. But we did, and I thought I was going to get beat up for a minute.

So Chase Rice is coming in in a little bit. All right, we're here. We're ready. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast. The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.

The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, This is right what you need to be. Listen to The Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and Venture, capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they shared their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids.

They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Googler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is?

I don't know. You meet the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president? Those law a rousette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It's a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual poland.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was.

I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Bobby Bones show now. Chase Rice.

This is Chase's album here. Chase, this is your dad on the front of this? That's my pops, yeah. I've seen you post a lot of pictures of your dad over the last few years or so on Twitter. What kind of relationship did you guys have?

It was awesome, man. He was the dad that didn't miss games. He was just a great guy. Like he was the guy that everybody loved when he walked in the room. And he was a guy that like, I look at my life. I'm like, damn, I got work to do. And as you get older, do you appreciate him more and more? Because now you kind of understand how hard some parts of life are and sacrifices in general.

Yeah, I mean, I live pretty selfishly. And now I look at it. Now I got a niece and two nephews. And I'm like, I get to at least see it from my brother's point of view of how much you have to give up to, if you want to be there for him. If you don't, then keep. living that way. But if I ever have kids, which I do want kids one day, it's like, I'm going to have to change my life for sure. So you put him on the cover of this album. Your dad's not alive anymore, right? No, he died when I was 22. And so how did he die? Heart attack. Kind of out of nowhere.

Yeah, I was out of nowhere. He was fighting. He had some skin cancer stuff, but like I talked to him seven days before he died. And he said, man, I'll be fighting this thing forever. But by the time I'm 78 years old, which he would be in his 70s now, which is crazy to think about. But he said, by that time, I'll be ready to go. And I'll meet the grandkids. And I'll meet the grandkids. all that. And it's weird how life is like, none of that happened. Seven days later, he was gone. What would he say if he saw you put him on the front? That's what I'm getting to here.

Like, your dad looks like, dude, you know, like he'll protect you, but he'll also whatever it takes. What would he say if you're like, Daddy, I put you on the cover in my album? Well, he was the guy. I remember playing guitar at the house when I was like just starting in college.

And he said, he was just joking. He was talking about nobody's ever going to listen to you unless you start singing. So he made me play like a timor, he just made me play like three or four songs that delivered to him and mom when I was like 22 years old.

And I played if he was going to get me the guitar that I wanted. So I don't know what he would think about me going into music, to be honest, in the first place, but he encouraged that at least. So I think he... What do you want his face on your album, though, that everybody's going to see? I don't know about that. I asked my mom, I asked my brothers.

He didn't have a choice. Yeah, that's super cool, man. Like, I love that this is becoming more important to you as you get older, because I think you respect it more as, at least I do. Like, the things that my grandma used to do for me, you know, my grandma adopted me for a long time. And it's like, dang, she sacrificed all that. I didn't even appreciate it at the time.

And now that she's been gone, it's like, dang, I wish I would have known then what I know now about that. But he's on the cover. And you've got to explain the name of the album because it's got like two names, kind of. It's called what? I hate cowboys and all dogs go to hell. Talk about them separately.

I hate Cowboys. Why? So that's a song on the... They're both songs on the album. It just Cowboys and Dogs became the theme of this record for whatever reason. That picture was a big inspiration

for the Cowboys part. Because he's one of a cowboy hat, by the way, if you guys aren't watching this as well. Go ahead. I wouldn't even know if he would... I wouldn't even say he'd consider himself a cowboy back in...

You know, he was in Wyoming back in the day. But that's a song. It's not about hating Cowboys. It's mainly just about the cowboy walks in the bar, Steers a girl. Right.

It was Hardy's idea in the beginning. and he's actually singing backgrounds on it. And then all dogs go to hell is very clearly. That's why I put my dad on the front with the cowboy, the dog on the back. That's, I love dogs. I have a dog now. Who is this dog? It's a black, like lab lookingish thing?

That's Jack. That's my pup. What's awesome about Jack? It was my first dog, period. I've never had a dog. So this is the first experience, him and I have had to go at it together. So that's a special thing, I think. I mean, I've never, I don't think a second dog will be the same.

I'm telling you. I never told anybody I loved him ever. And the first thing that I actually had a relation, my wife, because I didn't love anybody. But that dog, my first dog, Dusty had him for 13 years, that's the first thing I, like, felt love and, like, responsibility for. Do you feel that with this dog? Like, I got to take care of you and I love you.

Yeah, I got home last night and I'm, like, laying on the floor with him holding him. I'm like, I don't do this. Yeah, exactly. That's right. Yeah, good for you. And I don't even think about it with him. Yeah. Do you tell the dog you love him?

Oh, yeah. This is nuts, but, and I just started. started doing it because I'm like, man, I want to do, this is a special thing for me. Every time he's, uh, I feed him. I'm like, make him sit and I say, I grab him. I'm like, I love you and the best dog I ever had. That's awesome. And that's growth. That's like growth.

You're like, why I used to do that is because I was practicing for when I did finally meet somebody that I loved and they could tell him that. I was working with my dog. He did, I don't think my dog knew because he's a dumb dog. And it was awesome though, but he didn't know English, you know. And so I would be like, hey, dude, I love you. I was like, man, that feels weird. But I, dude, good for you, man.

It's easy for me to say it to him. I don't know. Yeah, it's not easy for me to hear it to say that to other people or even hear it from people, which is weird because my dad said it all the time. I think losing him, it took away a big place in me to, it's not like I have hate in my heart, but you just lose that. I've had years now of not hearing it. Why all dogs go to hell?

Well, I woke up the title on my head and I had no idea what that meant. I'm like, you can't say that. And then I said it to John Byron. We were writing that morning. And he was like, what do you want? want that to be like, everybody knows the devil went down to Florida. And when he said that, I was like, oh, yeah, it's like an oceanfront property in Arizona, George Strait type thing.

So everything's just opposite. It's all the other than lies. So Chase Rice is here. The album is out now. Ray, give me a little bit of I hate cowboys. Next thing you know, you got a broken heart. She's gone and that's why I hate Cowboys. That's pretty good.

You flipped it on us. You're like, dang, I wish I was a cowboy. Same thing. And Ray, give me a little bit of all dogs go to hell. And I don't miss you, baby, and all dogs go to head. That's good. It's like a whole different sonically.

It feels like a whole different you. It's completely. Oscar Charles produced it. I wrote all the songs on acoustic guitar. So like the process was opposite. We've talked about this a little bit. Like being part of Cruz was a huge blessing, but it was also a big curse because I didn't know what I wanted to do.

So I'm like, okay, I guess I'll do that. I didn't know what I didn't want to do. I'm just like, all right, I'll go with this. But the whole time I'm sitting there like, man. Man, this is not, what am I doing? Like, this isn't me. And it just takes a while to figure it out, I think. I'm going to play Way Down Yonder.

This is from the record. Set this song up, though, and, again, it's another song on Chase's new record, which is I hate Cowboys and All Dogs Go to Hill. But Way Down Yonder, one of the first tracks on three or four, right? It's one of the first ones. Tell me about this song, then I'll play it. Yeah, this was one that they threw out the title, and I was like, hell no. Like, I don't know what, that just sounds cliche.

So I wanted to be very clear with the guys wanted to write in it. This cannot be the girl in the twill. truck and the starry night and the dirt road and all that. And so we put real bits of true stories in this song. And I'm just a big moonshining guy. So that's really what it's about. On the Bobby Bones show now. Chase Rice.

I feel even in talking with you, I think we spent probably half an hour talking over at Jake's house. Just you and I. It was awesome. I feel like in all of the seasons that I've been in this town and you've been in this town, I don't know. Something about you just feels adjusted, nicer. Me too. I am the same way.

I feel like I've been through the ringer in this town. and I used to be so guarded in like, let's go. Who wants some of this? I felt threatened and insecure, so let's go. I'll take on anybody. But I don't even have that anymore. Do you feel like you're feeling that a little bit, like healthier? Yeah, 100%.

I still go to those places where I'm like, I get pissed off for no reason and I'm, I feel like people are against me, but I created that. But I created that in my own head where I just felt like the whole town or world was against me. And I think, honestly, I think it was because I had to have this chip on my shoulder because I was guarding myself from like I'm doing this thing that I don't even care about that's not that I know isn't me so I got to put up this shield of well I at least have to pretend like this is me when it ain't so I think through this the album making music that I really genuinely know is me and it's like I'm not trying to be anything else anymore so just be yourself now and there's a lot of good people in this town there's a lot of good people in the world like and Jake's a big part of that too like he talked to me he was like he just wakes up every morning now. He's like, I got to be grateful. He's front lobe, Jake now. Yeah.

He's stopped drinking and he's front lobe where we can't always stay front lobe. And he's a little wrong on the science of it, but still, I like it. He's front lobe Jake. I don't know the same. But, you know, he wakes up with at least intention. Because we all, if we have intention, we may not hit it right. Yeah. But more times than not, we will. Because I same thing. I still get really insecure and angry and like feel like everybody wants to compete and hates me. And so I'm like ready to go all. But. I got married. That helped a lot.

That's the dog. He's probably a big part of that too. But man, I just think through writing these songs, like Ben seats the song about the dog on the record. And it's, I don't know. I just cried my eyes out writing the song. I was going to ask you what you felt like the most vulnerable song was because the whole record feels a bit more vulnerable than anything you've ever done,

which is great. And it feels weird to do. But it's also, it bonds you quickly, right? Because everybody else is going through crap too. What's the most vulnerable song where you're like, man, I love this song, but, oh, man, this is kind of, this feels different because it's, I'm just putting it all out there. Yeah, it's Ben's seat, because that's the song about my buddy, I put a gun to his head and almost

shot himself. And then he got his help, came to see me. And I was, I'd been where he'd been before. And I wrote that song, I was ball of my eyes out the whole time, decided to get the dog, got the dog, did the video. It was, I was scared to put it out. I knew I wanted to and I was gonna, but it was just that, I don't know if I want people knowing this about me. which is dumb because your biggest fears when they come true it's like man that wasn't that bad

and that fear was just showing like hey I've been in some pretty dark places before and bench seat was that song for me we'll play a little bit of this just so people can kind of hear the context here is which by the way you wrote this one by yourself too when you say you cried writing I mean you were just alone writing this song

like kind of pouring it out yourself here is bench seat smell of fresh cut grass Mr. Reynolds waiting As we roll past, you know you've got to sing these, right? Yeah. Again, and some of these songs are really raw in a great way. I don't know how we're going to implement them in yet.

We haven't had rehearsals for the tour yet. But that was one I originally thought, like, this is too deep. I'm probably not going to sing it every night. But the reaction for people, I think I'm going to have to sing it every night. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's the one you want to sing. Yeah. Well, Oscar Charles was a big part of that, too, because he's a producer. I've never had one producer on the whole record.

But he's a big reason why it sounds so raw and real. there's no click track there's no tracks on the record um but when i'm sitting and they're singing and i'm getting emotional usually it's like okay man you took that too far it's like i didn't take it anywhere that's just how i was feeling and he was encouraging that like after the first take on the vocal he's like that was one of the most most real vulnerable vocals i've ever heard that was amazing i don't know if you need to do another one so him encouraging me to be like that was huge did you turn your house into a studio yeah is that where you did this record yeah it was like drum kit in front of the fireplace cables everywhere

it was not like a professional-looking studio. It was kind of a mess. Also benefit of being single. I'll be honest with you. Because sometimes I want to leave stuff out. Like, nope, can't do that. Fred Elginham was a drummer. He's Cheryl Crow's drummer, I think.

He walked in and literally had all his stuff before he even dropped the stuff. He looked around. He didn't know who I was. He's just like looking around. I'm standing there. He said, yep, this dude ain't married. That's the first thing he said.

So how are you now? Just generally. Like, what's, how are you? I'm good, man. I got ups and downs for sure. I had a lot of downtime in November, December, I think I saw you in January but I go

I don't know man Like I said I'm still going through some stuff Whatever that is Where I go to just some dark lonely places I don't know why But I'll get to the bottom of it I'm just talking to people Yeah I do it because the same thing

I am so I question everything about me I go to a therapist and help me We talked about that You know Look I want to do We're gonna end with these five awkward questions That listeners sent us about you

So you basically just have to answer them even though they feel awkward. Deal? Yeah. Okay. That's a way to set that bit up, right? They're actually called uncomfortable questions from listeners.

Number one, be honest. Has Chase Rice ever posted a fish he really didn't catch on Instagram? No. Never. You never have been limited. No. Okay.

I believe you. You promise you tell the truth. I don't know. Because if you lie here, the album's going to stop selling immediately. Why? Is that a thing, though? Yeah.

He posts big fish? Oh, he posts fish and people live. I love catching trout. Yeah. And you never post one that wasn't yours? Mm-mm. Okay. Does Chase Rice really drink whiskey on stage or is it apple juice sometimes?

Apple juice is definitely not apple juice. Sometimes it's tequila. Sometimes it's water. Sometimes it's whiskey. It depends on the night. But lately I've been drinking water before and then I'm like I'll crack my first one while I'm on stage. What does that do for you? Is it just like a ritual or?

It used to be a comfort thing. Now that's why like I don't drink anymore before I go on just because I want to prove that I can and I don't want to rely on that. But I'll drink some while I'm on stage for sure. What kind of truck does Chase Rice drive? I got a Chevy 2,500 because I have bison, so I have to haul them twice a year. Excuse me? I have bison. Excuse me?

Yeah. I got buffalo. Like a big buffalo, American buffalo. But where do you take them? For rides, they get bored. It's like a baby. I drive around the neighborhood sometimes make it fall asleep. I got to take them to slaughter them.

So you raised them and then you sell them? How does that work with bison? I haven't done it yet. This is our first year we're doing it, so I don't know the details. But, yeah, you take them to the butcher shop. They cut them up, and then I'm going to ship them straight to my buddy's restaurant. Do you name them? The two bulls, Bennington and Wyo, yes.

Is that because you keep them? And everybody else? I'm not naming the other. Yeah, I wouldn't. I'd be like, I'm going to get a bunch of bison and we're going to really work. And then I'd name him and be like, Pookie, you ain't going nowhere. I start crying. Are you kidding?

All right, two more, two more. Why does Chase Rice wear the same hat? Well, I don't. Like, this is not the bison hat I've been wearing. I go through phases. I wore the head down. I was up hat for a while because that's just a thing for me to remind myself to keep that mindset. Then I'm wearing the buffalo hat, which I was hoping I was wearing after you got so surprised that I had bison.

I usually have one. It's just my farm logo. I don't know. I just get connected to them, but even this is a different one. Finally, it's Chase Rice single. Yeah, I am. I'm single for the first time, like, by choice. I've gone through relationships where

I'm like eight months in I'm like okay I guess I guess we're dating like eight months I guess we're dating and you say that to yourself not even her To myself yeah I finally admit At what point did she think y'all were dating Probably before that And now I'm like nope I'm not doing that again

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations

about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like,

you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean it to like the president? You think Canada has a president?

You think China has a president? Does La Crosette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good thing.

one. I like that snake. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick Dick and Poll show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the good news.

With producer Eddie. Yeah, I'll make something good. There's a Walmart in Alamosa, Colorado, and there's a mom shopping with their inside the cart. Mom looks away for a second. Somebody comes and snatches the kid out of the grocery cart and starts running out. Bystanders are like- That really happens where somebody just grabs a kid and runs? Crazy. You want to know the shocker? It was a woman. A woman grabs the baby. He runs out of the- starts running towards the doors. A shoppers are going like, oh my gosh, I just saw that. Oh my gosh. They tackle the woman. They hold her down. Give the baby back. And they call police and they really

restrained the woman until the cops get there. And they're saying if it wasn't for that woman, who knows where that child would have gone. That's so bizarre that humans will just run and grab small humans and titrate. That's like old school we thought kidnapping used to be. Yeah. I can't believe that would happen in a Walmart in the middle of an up. Or what store was it? Yeah, Walmart.

Good for everybody for seeing it. Because I'd be afraid if I saw it that I would go like, oh, that's probably like the Anderson's doing a joke. I'm going to let her go. Sure. You think that. But what if you're the tackler and they're just like, hey, what are you doing? We're just messing around.

That's what I'm saying. It's like, I'll be like, ugh. I'm probably not going to. Because that would happen. Right. And then you're tackling with a baby in their arm too. Very risky. Good for them, because I don't know that I would have been able to do, unless she's yelling, help.

I don't know. I can't believe somebody just walked in and tried to grab a baby and get out with it. Yeah, amazing. Great story. Good job by everybody there doing that. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Listeners like it when we talk about just celebrities we see out in the wild, meaning you're just living your life.

And you're like, oh, there's a celebrity. So we got a couple here. Amy, you're first. Don't say who it was, but tell us the situation. I was walking out of a business, and I'm in the parking lot, and I look over, and I see the person. And I'm like, ah! So I just say, and then this person's walking into... Do you make that noise, though, and it stuns them?

You're like, ah! They're like, oh, God. No, no. I'm just like, oh, hey! You know, like, wow, this is random, locked out, and then they... He? He? Okay, we got the he's.

Okay. He's walking into, like, a, yeah, fast food type restaurant. I was like, oh. Stars are just like us. Let's do 10 questions, ready? Okay. We know it's a he. Okay, let's say if we can get in 10 questions.

Yes and no questions. Okay. Anything else you want to say? No. Okay, here we go. Country artist. Yeah, good one. Yes.

Boom. Lunchbox. Married. Yes. Has been in the studio this year. Enjoy, it's been like a month. Come on. Well, if so, it cuts it down. No.

Okay. I'm okay with that question Thank you Because if it was yes It quickly cuts it down That's three questions down Is this person over 40? You can say around 40?

Do you say around that? No, he, no No Okay, we're gonna go no She's gonna look it up If she changes it, she will Lunchbox Is their spouse famous?

No That's five, Eddie? Does he have a beard? He's not 40. He is 40 He's not 40 Okay, good, say right. Beard.

Uh, no. Is he from Texas? No. Lunchbox? We have three questions left. Has he been on the Bobbycast? Good one. Ooh, I'm sure.

You're sure of it? I'm pretty, I'm pretty positive. Okay, yes, Eddie. Is he, like, known as a tall person? Tall. No. Is he a great singer? He has been on the Buffycast

Okay Is he a great singer? You're throwing me off. Yeah, yes. Great, like we're like, that's an upper level. I don't want to say no, because that sounds bad.

But the upper levels are like Shea and Stapleton. I know where you're going with that and that's why I'm hesitant. Because I know you would think it's Shay. So I'll say no. Okay. So that's all our questions, guys. Who do we think that was?

What celebrity did she see in the wild? I'm going to go with. He was married. Does I say yes? He is, yes. But spouse wasn't famous. I'm gonna go with Randy Hauser. But he has a beer.

Oh, I thought she said he had a beer. No, no beard. Oh, no beard. But also, am I at that level where I'd be like, I don't know? But I guess Randy Hauser every time in this game, it doesn't matter what the questions are. If I don't know, I just go Randy Hauser.

Because I feel like Randy might be like, who are you? Eddie? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to go with Lee Bryce. He has a beard. He does? Yeah. He does?

Lunchbox? The only person I can think of has a beard He doesn't have a beard I was gonna go Parker McCollum but she said no He's not from Texas Let me look if he has a beard Go ahead That's why I had Dirk's Bentley

But he has a beard Sometimes Amy who is it It's not Dirk's Well obviously I meant like no he's having a beard He's the other half of someone you mentioned Oh

It's Dan Dan? Dan and Dan Well then you can't say he Why would you like I see Dan I don't know Yeah a lot

What up dude That's what I would say. I know. It was the same. Like his wife and my wife hang out all the time. She was like, we were like, I bought Estrelawn. She goes, oh, I wouldn't say. Yeah, he's A.

I didn't, y'all didn't ask me that. Oh, not singers. Because she's right. I am right in how I answered that. I didn't want to mislead you. But also, yes, I know, yes, we see Dan. But I just literally walked out and boom, there he was. So it was unexpected.

You're like, who's that lady with the beautiful hair? Oh, it's Dan. He had it in a bun. Oh, he did have some great hair. And I'm sure you could guess where he was going. All right. Lunchbox also saw a celebrity in the line. Yeah.

Okay, give us a few clothes here. I saw a celebrity at the hockey game and it was in the concourse and I followed this person to the concession stand. Of course you did. Watch them order. They ordered a drink and a hot dog. And then I stood over there and watched to see what that person put on their hot dog. And they put ketchup first, then mustard, four napkins. Well, so they're a weirdo.

Four napkins. Ten questions. We got to roll quick. Eddie. Is it a girl? Female? No. Country singer, a guy.

Yes. Married? Yes. Um, uh, like blonde hair, light hair. I wouldn't say it's blonde hair, no. They have a beard? Sometimes.

Is their hair long right now? It's Dan as well. No. Poor napkins. Eddie? Huh, huh, huh. They wear hats. Like, fan.

famously known for wearing hats? No. Have they been in this studio in the past six months? No. Do they have kids? Yes. Do over 40. Yeah, over 40.

I would assume. Last question. It's going to have to be somebody. Oh, I'm going to go, I get one more question. Hits, like overhits. Who made a hockey game? There's a big hockey fan. Oh, that's why I thought.

Is it somebody from the 90s? No. Okay, everybody have their guesses? I'm going to go, Randy Hauser. Every time Amy Lee Bryce Yeah Ryan heard

Lunchbox No Jimmy from Little Big Town Okay yeah Okay good You talked to him I went up to him I went up to him He put all the condiments

On his hot dog And I was like What up dude He was like How's it going Did he know you were? Yeah And he was talking

And said hello And blah blah And I was like Oh cool I just wanted to see How you got your hot dog Done That was about it

That's weird Mustard then Hey Mikeer Remind me Next time A little Big Town Comes in No, I think he went ketchup then mustard, but he had both.

To ask Jimmy why he's a psycho killer, both on. What would you do? Just mustard. Oh, just ketchup. You don't do both. You can do mustard and do all the stuff, but you don't do mustard and ketchup. Or you can just do ketchup.

Unless he was getting the hot dog for someone else, man, they're a cycle killer. I'd get in their computer and see what they've been up to. I like watch a Shark Tank. I don't ever go to Shark Tank, but if it's on, I can sit and watch three or four episodes in a row. Like, it's not appointment watching for me, or I don't DVR, but it's on, like,

CNBC or these random channels. and if there's nothing on, I'll just let it roll. It's an easy, sit and watch Forever show. And I like that Kevin O'Leary guy. What are they calling Mr. Wonderful? That's his name. He's pretty funny on there. He's awesome.

He did this story talking about money and talking about success. And at lunchbox, you can take it from here because the note lunchbox sent me said, this is what I have always been saying. And it was about Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful. And his quote was something along the lines of, money is more important than everything. You can get a new family. It is set you up for everything.

Family comes and goes. money is the root that you need to survive. Here is the actual quote. Who he's paraphrasing. Even that paraphrases is a little dramatic on what he really said. But he's not what he said. And everybody's all upset at Kevin O'Leary for saying money is the most important thing. But it is.

Kevin O'Leary. Who's super rich. Sent out a controversial tweet which shared his philosophy of prioritizing work and monetary success over family. Critics jumped on. Sen, you're a value is out of whack. He was roasted. He says, none of these things matter.

What matters, you achieve success and become free. And then once you're free, you can do whatever you like. The multimillionaire businessman investor became very wealthy years ago when he sold his software company, soft key for more than $3.5 billion. That's from the Daily Mail. I guess for more background, I wonder how he got famous to begin with. I wonder how he started the company if he had any advantage. Like, his parents are rich, got him into a good school.

I don't know. If not, like I felt that. I think he's self-made, man. You don't know. You don't know. You don't know you're just saying that for the story? Yeah. Yeah, cool.

So look it up. I'm curious. I am because he's my boy. That's amazing. Like, I love it. I believe in the American dream. I am the American dream as far as come from very little. Hard work.

Strategy. Put good people around you. As of right now, things are going pretty good. That being said, I do understand what he says, then you can do whatever you like to be free. Forever I was scared to do really anything until I have my, like, my, my, my finance is right because I never wanted to have bills I couldn't afford. I never wanted, you know, luckily I met Caitlin now because I said, I never told anybody. I loved him.

I never loved anybody before her. But it's like it was so easy because she was so right. And also it was like, I can now afford it. I can afford to get married. I can afford. But I'd have been scared to do anything at 25, at 29. I was scared to get a car. And because I would never have debt because I was.

like, if I lose my job, I'd overpay my bills. And finally, the water company would be like, stop, overpaying your bills. Why do you keep sending us extra money? I'm like, listen, guys, if I lose my job, I need to have one bill, like, extra surplus. So I have a month to get back on my feet. So I understand what he's saying. That being said, I think it's pretty ridiculous. Yeah.

I do think it's pretty ridiculous. Go ahead. Okay, so his mother was a good investor. She would do these. He grew up rich kids. Hold on. But he didn't know about it until she died. But did he get a bunch of money then from her when she died?

No, but he was already successful by then. Oh, and that's good. There you go. Like, he was going to be a photographer. And his stepdad was like, hey, man, maybe you should go to college. I changed your mind. I like him again. And so he went to college and they started MBA and all this with, and some of his classmates, they started companies. So he didn't find out he was rich until his mom died. Let's say I met Caitlin at 28 and we got married.

Because I do think I would have married regardless of the age. I'd just have been more scared. I would have been, like, we can't have kids forever until I can actually make sure that they can go to college. Oh, yeah. You can't say 28. she'd been 17 or something No there's That's true she's been 16

No but assuming you're at the same age Yeah assuming we're the same age That's true That's good point That's good point That's good point That's good point But let's just say that's yes

Right For sure I'm like we're on We're together We'll get married But I wouldn't There's no chance We'd even talk about kids

That's why when one comes Accidentally You know It's very stressful I've heard I've heard I've heard stories about that Yeah

But yeah So we are all The same I'm gonna say he's not right But he's not wrong. But there's something to it, meaning if you can, if you feel safe and free, a lot of your other decisions come more organically and naturally. And it's what you really want. But he's still an idiotic thing to write.

I don't know. I say get rich and that way you have all the options in the world. $10 million. $10 million right here. It brings in two suitcases. They're like $10 million, but you got to divorce your wife and you won't see your kids for five years. Come on. 10 million.

Let's go. You would do that. Yeah. All right. Cool. Because in five years, I can buy them a lot of presents to make up for lost time. Is that how that works? Is that how that works?

These are some pretty formative years you might want to be a part of. Amy, talk about energy givers and takers and what this is. I follow this brain doctor on Instagram, love him. Doc Amen or almond. I don't know how to say it. And he said the top energy givers are... What do you mean by giving energy? So like when you're surrounded by this, like it's going to fill your cup up and not drain you.

So you're going to feel better, be rejuvenated. Yes. Got it. Go ahead. Sunlight. Positive. Well, let me see if I do them. Pass.

I don't. Sunlight. No something like ever? Not really. It's not a thing. I got other hobbies. Okay. Positive self-talk.

Don't you always call yourself an idiot? Yeah, I do self-talk. Just not positive, so I get 50-50. My self-talks like, what are you supposed to say to yourself? I'm like, I am capable. I am smart. Affirmations, mantras. I never do that.

Oh, wow. I'm like, you're not as funny. Yeah, on and on. But no, I don't do that either. Okay. Deep breathing? Mm-mm. Sometimes I forget to breathe.

Literally. My wife would be like, why are you holding your breath? I'm like, I don't know I was holding my breath. I'm holding out. I'm holding my breath. And he's like, why are you holding your breath while you're working out? You should be reading more. I'm like, I am.

So, so far, I'm getting no energy. Okay, this one I get you. Music. I don't listen to a bunch anymore. I'm tired of it. I listen to it all time. It's music all day, all night for work. So when I get time, I go, I listen to podcasts.

So you're in my world now. The only thing that I listen to right now is probably Lucas Nelson, and that's it. Okay, well, that's probably giving you. But even then it's like. Your brain likes that. I'm so music, drowning in music, that it's just not a priority because it's all that. It'd be like if you made cookies all day, you don't go into the cookie out at the grocery store and decide you can get some chips a hoy. You're tired of cookies.

So what else? The next energy giver is nutritious food. Okay, that one I can sign for. So I'm one for five. And then the next one is acceptance, like being accepted by your peers, friends, family, others. All right. Okay. So I'm not getting a lot of energy. Let's see. What's the other one? Energy takers. These are just bad. The stuff that sucks the life out of you. Let's see how many of these I do. Go ahead.

Okay. Dehydration. One. Dehydrated all the time. Live it. I got bottles and bottles of water up here. Mostly, don't drink them. They come in here the next day as well. I'm dehydrated all the next day, as well the time. I'm dehydrated for food groups. It would be sugar. candy bars, cookies, and then sugar grab bag. Yeah, that's all sugar, though. I know. It's by the way of four food groups, yeah. Another energy taker is gossip. Not a gosper. Actually, I don't want to hear your gossip.

I'm not going to give you my gossip. And if you're a gosper, I don't even want you working here. I don't want you to be here. We're not a gossiping group for the most part, or you guys don't gossip to me, right? No. We wouldn't keep it away from you. Would you say I'm a gosper? No.

Like, I hate it. The only gossip I'm doing is right now. I don't even talk on them off this show. But you do know a lot of stuff you just don't talk about. I could sink some vessels here in Nashville in a minute. Go ahead. Suck the energy out of everybody. I suck the energy out of this city. Go ahead.

Sitting all day long. Yeah, I do that. My butt hurts, though. It's injured. So I'm kind of leaning a lot on one side. Another energy taker is people pleasing. I'm not that at all. Zero percent.

I don't give a crap. We're going to do it. We're going to do it this way. Everybody's going to be successful because of it, but it may be a little uncomfortable getting it done the right way. Would you sound of people pleaser? Nope. I don't think you are, no.

Would you, Eddie? No way, bro. But do you say that in a bad way? No, that's just the way you are. Do you feel like I'm mean? I think you... I don't think not be... Actually, we should strive not to be people-placers.

Right, right. And don't be confused. It's not like you're just being selfish. I guess I'm saying, do you think I'm a good dude? Yeah, you're a good dude. You didn't ask that question. I know, but some people will go, he's not a people please or it means it's not good to people. That's different.

I feel like I try to be great to people, but I'm not somebody who's just going to go out of my way to be a person. people pleaser. People pleasing in this context of like being an energy taker is you're constantly running around trying to make sure everybody else is good and then when you take a hard look at yourself, you're not happy. Well, I'm not happy. I like it myself

but I'm not going to people please too because I feel like if I'm pleasing people, we're not executing at our highest level, especially professionally. If I got to coddle your butt, I'm spending more time coddling than I am and then we are getting stuff done. We're going to be so much happy when we accomplish big things. When, and when it comes to people pleasing two, it makes you think of one of the four agreements, which I know you know them.

And one of them is to not take anything personally. In business. Yeah, in business or even if like... Personal you can, because that's personal. You take it personal. Yeah. Okay. In business, take nothing personal.

One of the four agreements. Okay. Yeah, but also we can make... Sometimes they get so mad at the company. I'm like, this company can hug a root. But, you know what? Okay. Four Good.

Best book I ever read that took me like 30 minutes read. It's pretty small. Yeah. Okay, and then the last energy taker that I'm going to mention is... Lunchbox. We already mentioned him, but cheese. It's not funny, honey.

Just the news. Yeah, yeah. Because it's so negative. Oh, man. I don't watch it anymore. I used to. I used to watch it all the time. Now I don't really watch it.

I'll read the headlines. Don't even click into them now. I'll read the headline and act like I know about it. That's it. All right, that's it. Thank you guys. Lunchbox. Thank you for your story.

You're welcome. Amy, thank you for yours. A win is a win. A win is a win. A win. I don't care which I'll say. That's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations,

stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to The Clifford Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre,

as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like one. 100% they believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.

They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about, and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes.

What Kugler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Those law cruzette.

God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at light. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying.

It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

This is Bricksley from Texas. I have a morning corny for you. Why did a banana go to the hospital? Because he wasn't peeling well. Good job. Good job, good job. Here is Barbie from Oklahoma. Morning studio.

I was calling to see. What happened to Elder versus Millennial and Lunchbox versus Amy? Like, where did those games go? I miss the game. Bring more games. We need more games. All right, thank you for that. Those two in general, we'd just let rest for a little bit.

Sometimes we'll let rest. Yeah, they needed a break. They needed a little break, yeah. But we play games constantly. Yeah, but they need like a year-old. Like, what am I thinking right now? Go. Easy trivia?

No, no. Just the game? No, what are you thinking of? Yeah. Oh, I know. Lunch? Oh, I know. Lunch?

No. What we're going to do next? No. I injured my B.H. again. Oh. You were thinking about that? Yeah, because it hurts so bad. I need one of those cushions to sit on.

I wouldn't have guessed that. That's the first thing that came to my head. What do you mean? Well, I was talking to Amy about it this morning. Yeah, because I didn't know if I could stay in it. It's a past injury, but then I've re-injured it, and it hurts so bad. That's all I can think about. Let's take a look.

I'll show it to you. I'm just joking. I don't care. Here's that Jerry from Kentucky. Go ahead. Want to thank you again so much for the Brooks and Dunn. Shout out and the tickets and the meet and greet and all that. Looking forward to it.

Sarah and I are here at dinner. Valentine's Day dinner. Hey guys, thanks for the ticket. She's super excited and a little bit shy. Love you guys. Love the show. And we're looking forward to May 11th. Okay, let's get something straight here.

Oh, that was good. This is why, though, I can't just give away everything that I own and call my friends for stuff because people take advantage of it. Because he said, hey, what can I do to tell her have Brooks and Dunn tickets? And I said, well, I'll make her a video going, hey, guess what? And he's like, nah. And I'm like, okay. I'm really good friends with Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn.

Like, we go to dinner, like that kind of friend. So I said, hey, man, we send this over. He'd be like, hey, Jerry, happy Valentine's Day to you and Sarah. Here's some tickets. But I was like, no, no, no, you don't have to give him tickets. He already recorded it. I wasn't going to ask him to re-record it. So I told Jerry, he said giving you tickets.

He's saying, congratulations for the tickets. There was never a mention of him in a meet and greed. But he's at dinner now saying all this stuff. He probably told her now. For sure. There was never a mention of that. I don't even know if they do them. The tour bus visit.

Yeah. The personal tour of Ronnie's house. I don't even know if they do meet and greet. So anyway, glad I could help. But see, that's what happens here. That's what happens. Somebody spirals out of control. Here's Amy's pile of stories. There's a social media debate happening.

Is it acceptable to film and share content with strangers in public without their consent? Legally, if you're in a public place, you can record. Legally. but it's almost time to reexamine those rules because it used to just be recorded the video camera and then maybe it'd get on the news or get nowhere but now that it can be distributed very easily to a lot of people push and submit

upload and everyone has a camera but yes if you're in public doing something you have to kind of be prepared that people are going to record you if you're in a gym that's a private place when people record people like oh this guy's staring at me like that ain't cool but yes, the answer is yes, sadly. If you're in public, it can be recorded publicly. Especially as parents, too, sometimes we're filming our kids doing something.

And they were like, oh, yeah, no big deal. I'm going to throw it up because, like, my son was getting a gray belt the other night. And I filmed. And then I realized in my stories, oh, shoot, there's all these kids lined up. So I took the little where I could color over their faces. Not a public place, though. It's not? It's a private place where you pay money to take lessons.

It's in a building. Okay, but those kids did, I didn't have any consent to put them on my social media. Correct. So I blurt them out. That's a private place. So you shouldn't put people up in a private place. Oh, okay. I hear you.

Public place you can. Private place you really can, too. But I would say use your sense, common sense. Don't be throwing stuff up with other kids. I agree with that too. I know. And then if you're filming someone and laughing at their expense, because you see something that's...

Falling on ice? Hilarious. I have to film that. Oh, my God. I'm loading it up. I don't care how private it is. I'm loading that crap up immediately. So Robert Downey Jr. is demanding $80 million

for an Avengers return. I also demand 80 million for me to be in the next Avengers. Let's see if they come. Let's see if they offer. So he wants that money up front and a percentage of the movie's profits. He probably can get it if they really want. I mean, those movies do so well.

You can't really do it without them unless you're going to reboot it or have a new young Iron Man come out of the ashes. True. It's called Avengers Secret Wars and it's looking to come out 2026. Yeah, 80 million. Hey, that ain't know. Nothing for them. Oh, no.

Trump chain. Okay, you got me. 75 million, I'll do it too. I just came down. Which, speaking of money and entertainers, I saw this whole article of the top paid entertainers of last year. And in it number one was Genesis. Because they did a reunion tour.

Oh. Phil Collins. That was his group that he was in before he went solo. He was actually the drummer for Genesis when they were searching for a new lead singer. Because do you know who the lead singer was? Peter Gabriel. Peter Gabriel, who sings, your eyes, the life is here, your eyes.

And they searched, but he'd always play the drums in it, and then he jumped up his front man, and they were like, we'll just roll with it. And then he played drums and sang, and then he got up front. They made that much money. $230 million. Well, because they were Iron Man in three movies. They got the job.

Sting was number two with $210 million, and then Tyler Perry was number three with $175 million. Tyler Pear is so legit. He's so legit. All right, what else? This is cool. Jimmy Allen and for King and Country, teamed up for the latest CMT Crossroads.

That's going to be airing on February 28th, so that'll be a cool one to watch. And the neat thing about them is they became friends like 14 years ago when they all came to town and had nothing going on. And they would like meet for breakfast and like share the troubles of trying to make it in the music business. And so it's cool that now they're both or all three of them are super successful and able to do this together. For King and Country on this week's Bobbycast for an hour with those guys,

hearing their story, it is wild. Their dad was, he was a promoter and a promoter pays money and then goes out and tries to do a tour and hopefully he makes all his money back plus and he went completely under. And they moved here because he thought he could get a job here and that job went completely under. It's a crazy story. And they have a sister that's very famous and they were doing music and they were like, we don't want to be known as her. And so they, amazing Bobbycast with those guys. Go search it up. Search for the Bobbycast wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories It's time for the good news With Bobby There's a firefighter named Jake Of the Gerald Fire Department in Gerald Texas He was diagnosed with a cancer It was a brain tumor in late January

So last month he's 24 years old He underwent a 10-hour surgery To remove part of the tumor And then another few days later They had to go get the rest They couldn't do it all at once Because again it was like a 10-hour surgery Just to get part of it

And the brain Oh, man. So through all of this, that entire town and that entire fire department has been so supportive. He got back out of the hospital and he was bald because of all the work they had to do that didn't mean cut it to his head. And so everybody at the fire department all shaved their head bald to support him. Oh, that's so cool. He showed up and he was like, man, I couldn't have done it without the town. And even this is like such an example of what people have done for me.

And I love that. So first of all, let me say, man, he's 24 and he had a brain tumor. That stinks. And it shouldn't happen to a 24-year-old, way too young. And these doctors that can go in and work on the brain over two days and remove that. Glad we have them. In this town, in this fire department, awesome. So, yeah, I'm going to say that's what it's all about in a second.

But one time, when I was in high school, my senior year, we were in the state playoffs. We were like, let's all do something to show that we're united. So we all shaved her heads Bald And we're like Let's go ahead But let's be freaking out We'll show up baldheaded

And first of all Our helmets didn't really fit Because they're loose They're a little loose And they're sweat with We didn't even know that We got out there for the game And then secondly

We got beat like 37 to 10 And you take your helmets off At the end of shake hands And we like the biggest group of idiots Walking across the field With our bald heads It's not a good memory We shaved our heads

Our helmets were squishy And then we lost We look so stupid But we did have done that for Jake, though, too. Yeah, for sure. You guys, great job. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.
